“Jennifer is great and I plan on booking her again! My anxious doggo took right to her! She communicates well, leaves helpful reports and responds to questions promptly. She is conscientious and follows instructions well. Best of all she really seems to enjoy the animals she works with and treats them as individuals. 10/10 Highly recommended!”

About: Growing up wanted a dog but my parents allow it so did the next best thing which was dog sit for my neighbors. So I have many years of experience sitting all types of dogs. Love the company of a wonderful dog. There’s nothing like the energy from a happy pup that loves to play. I just started training for a half marathon I’ll be running in March, so if your dog is used to or if you want me get him/her active, i would be able to do so. I’m working from home currently so I have a flexible schedule and would love nothing more than spend some quality time with your precious pup. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your amazing pup.

About: I am a young, energetic, and dedicated pet sitter with a lot of experience caring for dogs, cats and more. One of my greatest strengths is the genuine connection I build with animals. I have loved and cared for animals since I was a child, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience fostering both puppies and senior dogs, giving me an understanding of the unique needs. I am patient, attentive, and creative when it comes to keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy through play. I have a very open schedule so pet care is my full time job at the moment I’m still job searching, and I love animals so I’m grateful I’m able to hang out with dogs for a job. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. My experience includes fostering both puppies and senior dogs, so I am comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and requirements. I ensure pets are fed on their regular schedule, always have access to fresh clean water, and receive baths as needed. I take dogs outside frequently for bathroom breaks and provide walks throughout the day as needed. For social and active dogs, I also enjoy taking them to safe places such as dog parks or Fiesta Island for exercise and enrichment. Safety is always a priority, and when caring for multiple pets, I carefully manage feeding times and treats to prevent any conflicts and create a calm, positive environment for everyone.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. My parents had a dog before I was even born, and when I arrived she quickly became my first best friend. That bond started a lifelong love for our four-legged companions, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for many dogs including two Rottweilers, a Pitbull mix, a Boxer, and a Red Heeler. Today I share my home with my dog Larry, and together we’ve created a safe, happy place where other dogs can come spend the day. Altogether I have around 35 years of experience living with and caring for dogs of different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Larry and I live in a home with a fully fenced large backyard and a fenced front yard, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. Our days usually include walks, backyard playtime, and trips to the dog park. If you’re comfortable with it, we also occasionally do beach visits or easy hikes for dogs that enjoy a little adventure. I work from home, so your dog will have supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to provide photos and video updates so you can see how your pup’s day is going. To keep things safe and fun for everyone, we host a maximum of two guest dogs at a time. Before daycare begins, we’ll schedule a quick dog park compatibility meet-up followed by a short in-home introduction to make sure all the dogs get along well and everyone feels comfortable. If you’re looking for a safe, relaxed home where your dog can play, socialize, and be well cared for during the day, we’d love to meet you. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Jay & Larry 🐶 Your dog’s day will be built around comfort, play, and plenty of attention. Since I work from home, your pup will never be left alone for long periods and will get lots of interaction throughout the day. We usually start the morning with some outdoor time in the fenced yard so everyone can stretch their legs and burn off some energy. Throughout the day dogs can expect a mix of: • Backyard playtime in our fully fenced yard • Walks around the neighborhood • Dog park visits (if you’re comfortable with that) • Relaxing indoor time where dogs can rest and feel at home For dogs that enjoy a little adventure, we sometimes do beach trips or easy hikes, but only with owner approval. I keep the number of dogs small so every pup gets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing during the day. My goal is simple: when you pick up your dog, they’ve had a fun, safe, and happy day and are excited to come back again. I have extensive experience caring for both small and large dogs and have always trained my own dogs using positive reinforcement methods. I believe strongly that dogs learn best through encouragement, patience, and consistency. I do not believe in any form of harsh or abusive training. In my experience, the best way to build a relationship with a dog is by earning their trust and building their confidence. My home is a safe, calm environment where dogs are treated like family. Larry, my dog, is very friendly and well socialized, and he helps set the tone for a relaxed and positive atmosphere for visiting pups. Before any stay or daycare visit, I prefer to do a meet and greet so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and the dogs get along well. Safety, comfort, and positive experiences for every dog in my care are always my top priorities. Once you meet Larry, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. The environment here is built around trust, respect, play, and lots of love for every pup that walks through the door.

About: Cats and dogs are such special little creatures. I’ve had the pleasure of house sitting for several families in the past couple of years and have gotten referred to family members due to my great care with their fur babies. In my own family, I am the trusted go to for pet care, as I ensure each 🐶🐈🐈‍⬛ is properly cared for and given so much love! 💕 I currently work from home and set my own schedule 😄 that offers me a lot of flexibility to spend time with my own fur babies and I’d be happy to spend time with yours as well! I’m pretty routine oriented when it comes to care, set times for eating, play, cuddles, and rest. You can expect a grounded and calm approach to caring for your fur babies as I am a Taurus 🤪 I have a fenced backyard, an energetic puppy, and two kitties that like to lounge around with small spurts of play. I have lots of toys and treats available to support mental stimulation and to ensure your animals have plenty of time catered towards enrichment. Early walks and evening walks when the temperatures are cooler can also be expected (:

About: I previously worked for a reputable pet sitting business in Southern California over the past 10 years. I have now transitioned to online work, allowing me to travel all over. I have taken many animal behavior courses, First Aid, and have experience administering medications. I am always curious to get to know a pet's personality, habits, and individual quirks, making sure they are comfortable and approach me at their own speed. I have done many overnight pet sitting visits as well as regular check ins at clients houses and have been entrusted with hundreds of keys over the years. I take pride in making sure everything runs smoothly in those homes (bringing in mail, trash bins, watering plants, leaving the home tidy) and most importantly that the pets get the best of care. I collaborate well with pet parents in addressing any health or behavior concerns they may have. I have worked with a variety of animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, etc.) in a variety of countries. I have over 75 - 5 star- reviews on ......... I try my best to minimize stress for both pets & pet parents, as well as optimizing communication with pictures & updates at least once a day. I am currently working part time hours remotely so am able to give your fur baby the utmost attention and care. I take pride in what I do and my long time experience shows in my care for animals. I make pets feel comfortable in new environments and allow them to sleep on the couch or bed if that is what makes them and you most comfortable. I would never watch more than one pet at a time from different families to allow the safest option for everyone and the most undivided attention. I have plenty of dog parks and walking options near my home as well.

We’ve had a wonderful 2nd experience with Bebo! They’re always happy, enthusiastic, and genuinely seem to enjoy spending time with Rocko. Bebo is incredibly reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, which gives us great peace of mind knowing Rocko is in good hands. We really appreciate the positive energy and care they bring to every walk. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bebo again and highly recommend them!

Ilana did a great job taking our pup for runs while we were away, in addition to communicating the timing, and exercise session details. We had a family sitter while we were away, but our pup is used to at least a couple runs a week with me or my husband which that family member could not physically provide. I would definitely hire Ilana again to give our pup some of her usual exercise while we are away next time.

We have been using Birdie consistently for a while now to walk our pups and she really is the absolute best! She is so sweet and caring to our dogs and makes sure to address each of their individual needs (which are VERY different due to their ages). It is really nice to not have to worry about our pups whenever they are in her care! They are both really excited to see her when she comes and seem to really enjoy their time with her. She really goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her if you are looking for someone that is reliable, compassionate, and a lovely person to engage with.

We are so incredibly grateful to Katelyn for going above and beyond to help us while we were away for work. She took such wonderful care of our dog, Snow, and made sure all of his needs were taken care of. It meant so much to us that she took the time to send us pictures and updates, especially since being away from home makes us worry about him. She made sure he had plenty of food and water, and she even took the extra time to clean up the mess he had made. Her thoughtfulness, care, and willingness to go the extra mile truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. We are so thankful for everything she did for Snow and for us. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring and dependable! ❤️
