“Michael, Wendy and their sweet family were amazing with our Charlie! We joked that he might be disappointed to get picked up! It was wonderful to have such peace of mind knowing our puppers was in great hands.”
“Tyler was an excellent dog sitter, he took care of our elderly dog like he was his own! Very responsive and sent us photos throughout the stay. Thank you Tyler!”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Dylan and Maddie were amazing! They took wonderful care of our dogs, and kept us updated with photos and messages! Our dogs genuinely looked so happy in every photo they sent us! We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“First time using the Rover, so we are nervous at first on how our puppy will react. He is a sweet boy but such a yapper and barker. We are so happy that we found Ashley and her family. They took care of our Leon. Keeps us updated every time. And very flexible to schedules. We will definitely book again if we need to go on a trip and can’t take our dog with us.”
“They took such great care of our two mastiffs. We knew we were dropping them off in good hands for the weekend we were out of town and didn't have to worry at all. Thank you both so much! 💗”
“Jill was amazing with our dog, and she kept us well updated with photos and comments about daily activities. She has a fantastic yard and space for dogs to stretch their legs. We are going to put Jill on speed dial for future needs!”
About: With over 27 years of hands on personal and professional animal care, loving pets isn’t just what I do, it's who I’ve been since getting my very first hamster at 3 years old. From dog and cat companions to farm and exotic animals, my entire life has centered around the comfort, happiness, and well being of almost every type of animal. In California, I spent 6 years managing a horse ranch, followed by 12 years managing a pet store and working closely with local dog and cat rescue organizations. Over the years, I also built a dedicated following of beloved "pup-stomers" through years of professional in home boarding and a private house sitting. After relocating 4 years ago to grow our family, I am thrilled to open my schedule again to offer you the attentive, love and peace of mind they deserve while you are away. Experience with administering medications and special diets including raw food. I am a stay at home mom to 3 children, meaning I am always home and readily available. We spend lots of time playing in our huge fenced in backyard, so your pet will receive constant supervision and companionship. I have plenty of balls, frisbees, and toys ready to go! A daily walk is included (weather permitting, if desired), and I am more than happy to stick to your dog's regular feeding and care routine. I pride myself on being flexible, accommodating, and quick to send photo updates as often as you’d like throughout the day. Your fur baby will be included with our family all day, including daily walks, rather than a traditional boarding facility. Your dog is welcome to sleep on their own full-size bed in the guest room, in a dog bed, on the couch, or even in my room! I am also very experienced with crate training and puppies!
“Kimberly and her daughter were simply amazing! Our Pomeranian, Ladybug, has some health challenges and Kimberly was diligent and caring when she took care of her. Our other dog, Rosie, also got loving care with snuggles, play time, and walks! I highly recommend Kimberly!”
“Eric was amazing! He loved on our dog all weekend and she had a great time. He was super flexible and accommodating with all our needs for drop-off, pick-up, and our dog's medications. We would love to have him sit our dog again. He is clearly an animal lover and a great pet sitter!”
“Michelle is the ultimate dog mom! I had a short-notice trip come up unexpectedly and was lucky enough to book Michelle for boarding over Christmas. My dog, Emmett, is 5 yo, new to me, and has not had a lot of variety in his life experiences. He had grown to trust me and was enjoying having a human and a house to live in. I was dreading leaving him anywhere. Upon meeting Michelle at our meet-and-greet, I was immediately confident that Emmett would not only be safe and well cared for, but that he would receive affection and companionship. Michelle really understands dogs and was masterful at actively supervising meetings with each of her dogs, Boots, and Frank. She understood Emmett’s desire to sniff everywhere in her beautiful home and he immediately felt comfortable on her sofa. The large, grassy back yard was immaculate and thoroughly enclosed with tall, wood, non see through fencing. Emmett was instantly enjoying the yard with his new besties, Boots and Frank. I appreciate that Michelle supervises all the dog interactions and even has different zones in her house separated with dog/baby gates in case anyone needs to take a break from the others. I had previously been picky; only choosing sitters that had no dogs of their own and no other boarders at the same time. Because Michelle really understands and manages the dog interactions, however, the fact that she had Boots and Frank, as well as another (repeat) boarder, Brody, enhanced Emmett’s experience. Communications with Michelle were clear and timely and I really loved getting pictures and updates so often. I could tell that Emmett was really enjoying being part of a family of other dogs as well as humans and that he was comfortable and not stressed about being away from me. I will almost certainly plan to book with Michelle again and wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone!”
“Moya is amazing. I cannot recommend her high enough. I have an older dog so am always very careful with where I place him and she immediately put my worries to ease. Great communication before, during, and after. Family environment which was perfect for my dog. It felt more like an extension of my own care for my dog than trying to fit him into a different environment. Thank you Moya!!”
About: I currently have a black and tan dachshund, and I used to have a lab/ bordercollie mix! Raised both dogs from around 5 weeks old. So lots of experience with puppies and finding the best care for them! I just wanna be the fun dog auntie and I genuinely just want an excuse to be around lots of doggies! I am currently self employed so I am in charge of my schedule. I'm happy to accommodate to whenever you would need me! I'm very easy going and flexible! I don't have a fence, but the neighborhood is very lowkey and peaceful! Lots of places to walk, lots of trees and grass. Great spots to hike as well!
“Michelle has been fantastic in working with us to accommodate Samson for our upcoming trip. Samson is very nervous about new people and places, so Michelle is watching him for us in short time increments so he can feel comfortable, and after just a few hours with her, she was able to hold him and pet him, which just filled my heart. We are so grateful for her patience and kindness with him as she gains his trust.”
“Susie & Daniel were great! They provided a caring & active environment for Wally. I appreciated the updates & pictures as well. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Heidi took incredible care of our dog and gave us updates throughout our vacation. Our dog has a fair amount of anxiety and does not do well in large boarding facilities, he was so happy and fulfilled when we picked him up”

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gardena home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gardena.
