“Elliot was a great fit for our pup Clementine and he took excellent care of her. He kept us updated on how she was doing through the day and took her on multiple walks when she was higher energy. He was kind and trustworthy. We feel very confident in Elliot’s abilities to care for our Pup and look forward to booking him in the future !!”


“Nicole is an absolute gem of a house and pet sitter! From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my cat, Arrow, was in such caring hands. She sent sweet photo updates every day—each one a little love note from home—and responded to my messages with lightning speed and so much warmth. When I returned, my house was spotless, cozy, and serene. Nicole had even washed and made the bed, which felt like the most thoughtful welcome home. Arrow was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored—his energy said it all. It’s rare to find someone so kind, attentive, and respectful of both your space and your beloved pet. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for any house sitting or pet sitting needs. She’s a true caretaker, and I feel so lucky to have found her!”


“Andrea is an amazing dog sitter. My dog is highly anxious and reactive but is very happy and comfortable with Andrea. I came home to a happy dog and my house was cleaner than when I left it! Indie and I really hope Andrea will come stay again.”


“We absolutely adore Micki! She loves our pups as much as we do and understands them even more! Our newest rescue is super anxious and needs a bit more TLC and she delivers! My husband’s truck had some mechanical problems today and was running late and she was flexible enough to not leave them alone. THANK YOU!”


“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”


“Josephine was Great! She took Great care of Auggie & Ellie. She checked in with me often with pics of them. She took them for walks and left my house clean and tidy. I will definitely use Josephine the next time I leave town. She is terrific!”



“Luna R has sat for my 3 fur babies twice now and she has done an amazing job both times. I know that while I am away, my animals are safe, healthy, happy, and so loved! She is the best!”


“Madeline is an awesome dog sitter! The day she came to meet the dogs, they immediately responded to her including our older anxious one who's not very friendly with strangers. Madeline's warmth and attention won them over immediately. She sent us daily updates including photos throughout her stay. When we arrived home the house was immaculate and there was a fresh batch of cookies welcoming us home. We highly recommend Madeline as a top notch dog sitter and will request her services again when the time comes. Thank you Madeline!!”


“Always excellent in taking care of our pups and kitty. Came through in a challenging situation with some severe weather. Highly recommend and will gladly reach out for help again :)”


“Rachel did amazing watching our 2 dogs in our home over a long weekend. Our dogs seemed very happy and she was able to get our extremely shy and timid dog out on a walk on the first try! She also left our home the exact way it was when we left. We’d gladly rebook Rachel again 😊”


“Brittany is a wonderfully kind and thoughtful sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and my home while I was out of town. She is the first sitter I’ve ever entrusted and I was absolutely delighted with her updates and photos. I came home to a happy cat and tidy apartment which looked exactly as I had left it. Brittany is a gem!”


“Jamie is absolutely incredible, my dog doesn’t always take well to strangers but he and Jamie were pals from the start. Jamie made us feel comfortable when leaving our fur baby for the weekend and we will definitely be using Jamie’s services again!!!”

“Lauren is great! We have a dog that can be a little hard to warm up to people and Lauren was fabulous with him and they became fast friends! She took great care with everything and is a great communicator. I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats & other pets since I was a teenager. I can also take care of other pets if necessary. Thanks! I am very flexible with my availability. Being outside with nature is necessary for my well being so pet care is second nature to me. I will take great care of your fur bbs in your home. I will give them pets, snuggles, food & play with them! I will be present with your pets while you are away to ease their separation anxiety & make sure they have the proper care.

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs my whole life. Growing up on a ranch, I was constantly surrounded by pups, some mine, some rescues, and all full of personality. I’ve cared for big dogs, nervous dogs, high-energy goofballs, and everything in between. I used to have a Great Pyrenees and a whole crew of German Shepherds, and now I’m just really missing having dogs around. I always follow any feeding, walking, and medication instructions to a T, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I don't have dogs at home right now, so your pup will get my full attention without competition or stress. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone calm and loving to hang with, I’m your girl! I work full-time from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which means I’m available for evening check-ins, walks, or playtime during the week. I’m also free most weekends and would love to spend that time hanging out with your pets. Whether it’s a quick visit, a post-work walk, or some weekend company, I’m happy to help however I can! I know firsthand how important our animals are—they’re family. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your pet. That’s why I go above and beyond to make you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I treat every animal like one of my own and make it a priority to follow your routines exactly, so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always respectful of your home. You can count on me to show up when I say I will, give your pet the attention they deserve, and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: Hi! I’ve been dogsitting and walking for the last 5 years while i’m in college! I specialize in smaller dogs but also have cared for bigger dogs as well! I am a Nursing student at the SRJC currently on Summer Break. My availability is open through the Mid of August. I can also care for your fur animals beyond August ! I respect the wishes that each client has towards the care for their fur baby :) I am available during the week and weekends summer time !
