“Kelsey, was great we received several messages and pictures during our vacation which is very comforting. We will use Kelsey again in the future four our pet care needs. ”

About: I'm a college student who misses my dog, Mocha, and wants any excuse to play with other people's pets (and also pay my student loans) Mocha has been in our family for almost 16 years now, and I've helped to take care of her from puppy to senior. I understand that dogs are more than just animals, they're family. I have an internship Tuesday-Thursday that takes my entire day, but the rest of the week I am able to make plans as I choose, and dogs will almost always be my top choice. I know how stressful it is leaving your pets with someone else, and I want to do everything in my power to alleviate this stress for you. I always make sure to triple-check my instructions before I leave, and I make sure that no dog I meet ever feels lonely.

“Angie watched our pup for 5 days and was great! Very communicative and felt genuinely cared for that Penny was in great hands”
About: I have been around and had may different kinds of animals my entire life. I was going to become a Veterinarian I loved them so much. I decided to become a SpEd teacher instead. I was raised on a small farm in S.A., and my family still has a ranch in NorCal. I used to ride in rodeos (barrel racing). I love all animals. I am not afraid to clean a stall, give meds, or lie with your furry family member. I worked for a vet for many years and have much experience. I have been known to talk to animals like they are small children. I never walk by a dog without asking to pet it. I have two turtles, two cats, and one indoor rabbit. My two dogs passed the last couple of years. Since I am a teacher, I am out for the summer. I am very flexible. I can walk, sit with your pet, or even do an overnight. Give me a call, you and your pet won't regret it. My yard is fenced, and I never let my dogs out without me in the backyard. We have a pool, but it has a cover for the winter. I always walked my dogs on a leash and harness. If they were in the car, they were always in the kennel. I am a pro kennel user. The dogs feel safe when in them. If at home, I would never put them in them unless a stranger was coming over (plumber, handyman, etc.), or sometimes at night. I have two cats now, and I never let them outside. We have coyotes in the area, and cars go fast down our street. I feel safe with them inside ONLY. I have trained them on the leash. They do very well if I sit outside and have them on it. My rabbit is free roam when I'm at home, but at night and during the day (work), she has a two-story condo. :)
“Reha was amazing with my dog George, she went above and beyond to make sure that he had everything that he needed. I could not recommend them more!! By far the best dog sitters we have ever had!”

About: With hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dog breeds — from Dobermans and Golden Doodles to Chihuahuas and German Shepherds — I understand that every dog is unique. Whether they’re high-energy pups who need playtime or calm companions who just want to cuddle, I meet them where they are. I don’t just “watch” your dog — I keep them company, pay attention to their mood, and make sure they feel loved, safe, and at ease while you're away.

Rami G.
“I can’t say enough good things about Rami G.! She’s one of those people you instantly trust—kind, reliable, and just naturally great with both people and pets. I’ve worked with her for years as a substitute teacher in our district, and she’s become not just a trusted colleague, but a close friend. We even co-taught a class together last year when my partner was out on medical leave, and Rami was incredible with the students—so patient, caring, and always going the extra mile. On top of that, she’s taken care of my mom’s three spoiled dogs several times, and let me tell you—they adore her! The second they see her, their tails start wagging like crazy. Rami knows all their routines (yes, including their morning denta sticks and nightly “cookies”), and she follows everything to a T. She even had my mom fill out a checklist to make sure nothing was missed. Whether it’s with kids or dogs, Rami puts so much love and thought into everything she does. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

Raymond P.
“A True Dog Whisperer! Raymond has been caring for our dogs for over three years—and we truly couldn’t do life without him. He’s taken on everything from our high-energy, wildly disobedient pup (Billy) to our elderly, special-needs dog (Jersey), handling each with patience, love, and incredible intuition. Ray is the real deal: responsible, honest, calm, and 100% trustworthy. Dogs love him—tails start wagging the moment he walks in! Whether your pup needs long runs or just a quiet cuddle on the couch, Ray knows exactly how to meet them where they are. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, don’t miss out on Ray. He’s more than a sitter—he’s a gift to every dog he meets.”
