“Yantian did a great job watching my pup with loads of updates and pictures! He does watch multiple pups at once so just be aware of that if your pup doesn’t do well with others but we had no issues.”




2. Kirsten M.

“Kirsten did a great job sitting for my puppy! He recently had a procedure done so he is recovering, and she followed all instructions and kept me updated. As a first time, puppy owner I’m nervous about what to do w him, but I’m definitely grateful for sitters like Kirsten that can watch him while I go to work especially these first few days.”

15. Roberto G.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have a deep love and respect for them, especially senior pups who need a little extra patience and care. My experience includes caring for a wide range of pets—from energetic puppies to older dogs with medical needs, as well as cats and small breeds like French bulldogs. Most of my pet-sitting has involved in-home care, where I stay for several days or even weeks. I care for every pet as if they were my own and make their comfort and safety my top priority. When staying in a client’s home, I’m mindful of your space and always aim to leave it just as clean and organized as I found it. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you're away, and I always do my best to give you that peace of mind. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will never go long without attention, walks, or cuddles. Whether it's early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I can adapt to meet your pet's routine. My availability also makes me a great fit for last-minute bookings or extended stays. I always tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s sticking to a strict medication schedule, keeping a senior pup comfortable, or making sure an energetic dog gets plenty of playtime, I follow all instructions carefully. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and aim to create a calm, safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for.


16. Sydney C.
“Sydney has been great with animals ever since she was little. She has had a special bond with dogs and horses. Her care and connection to animals is unlike any other. She has had many dogs, bunnies, and other pets growing up. She also spent a majority of her school years at the barn where she would care for and be surrounded by different animals. Sydney is very gentle and kind when it comes to the care of animals. They naturally gravitate toward her whenever she meets a new pet and they like to be surrounded by her energy. I would highly recommend Sydney as a loving caregiver.”


17. Jayda B.

“I was very pleased with the care Journey was given. Jayda was very flexible and willing to work with my weekly schedule. I would definitely book again!”


18. Maria G.


“My mini golden doodle puppy Max had the best day with Eirick! It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know. Lots of pic updates through the day put us at ease. Easy communication. Will definitely book again :)”


19. Susie & Galen B.

“Susie and Galen took great care of our dog Ace for day care. They were responsive and thoughtful with his needs. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Kathryn is always amazing with our puppy! He always has an amazing time under her care”
