“Mary was great with my dog, Haylee! Haylee spent the night with Mary & her pup. Haylee seemed to have a great time. Mary sent pictures through out the day & evening showing her playing & taking walks. Mary was very nice and accommodating. She’s great with dogs & even taught Haylee to stop on demand! She’s a great dog sitter!!”
“Lynn and Marty were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. I had been looking for a while for a good fit for my senior dog and ended up finding them a week before my trip. Lynn offered up a phone call so I could talk about the care and treatment I needed. I was so worried to leave my pup since she’d been having some health issues, but when it was time to drop her off, Lynn and Marty and their senior fur baby dog had the best vibes and wanted to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I could tell my pup felt right at home and loved exploring their nice yard. I got regular photos and updates on how she was doing and whether she’d eaten. When I picked her up, Lynn and Marty said they’d miss her and she looked relaxed and happy. I would definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend this gem of a place for pet care 🐾 💕”
“Shalon will LOVE your doggie like her own. She has taken our pup to the beach, played fetch with him (his favorite), and sends several text updates and pictures! We know he is always in good hands with her!”
“Amazing experience for our pup! Gurudatt and his family took our pup on walk, free play and treated him like one of their family. Thank you!”
“Karrie was so loving and accommodating to my nervous pup. I loved receiving pictures and updates. Daily visits to the park were wonderful for my pup to try out socializing. Thanks so much Karrie!”
“Cassandra responded quickly and was able to accommodate our last-minute booking, which we really appreciated. She loves animals—our dog was in great hands with her! She kept us updated and showed so much care and attention.”
“Aya and her family did a great job taking care of my dog Oakley over the weekend. I really appreciated her communication which made me feel assured Oakley would be loved and cared for in my absence. It made me so happy knowing Oakley was with a family (and his favorite ball) instead of alone in a boarding facility.”
“Robert was absolutely amazing! He took care of our little Bowie at last minute and over New Year’s. She had a big fluffy bed to stay on and was showered with love.”
“Jeanine was wonderful. Very friendly, great with our dog and and great with us. Our pup frequently get nervous about being left behind, or getting to know other dogs, and by the time we got there for pick up the next day, our dog was comfortable with Jeanine's dogs and was happy to be there. We have already booked a second stay. Thanks Jeanine!”
“Amber was great with our puppy. Our puppy seemed to have a great time! I felt Amber was attentive to the personalities and behaviors of the several dogs in the household and handled their interactions for both safety and fun.”
“Laurie was absolutely amazing with Messi. He is very particular with people but he loved staying with Laurie and Reese. I loved all the updates and pics throughout his stay. Will definitely book again when we have another trip!”
About: I have a dog since I was 2 and have taken care of so many that I have lost track. We love our pets and we love animals. No matter the pet, we are happy to have them:) I do work but my schedule is flexible to be with your pet. I also have a small dog here to keep them company. But I get to come and go as I please to keep after your furry loved one. My yard is big and completely fenced in. They will have all the room possible to run around, with no worries of escaping. And my little girl will give them something to chase all over the yard!
About: I’ve had dogs of many breeds & ages my entire life. I especially love senior dogs. Have studied dog behavior & training through out the years & feel I have a good understanding of “pack behavior”. I am retired & your 4 legged fur babies will be my priority. I love getting to know new dog friends & enjoy spending my day playing with them out in my yard & taking walks. I have a nice back yard which is completely fenced with avocado trees & lots of things to sniff. I have 2 dogs, 1 tiny senior named Monster & a large mixed breed 4 year old named Stanley. Both are extremely friendly, well behaved & very socialized.
“They were so great and took such good care of my dog! They were really prepared and I didn’t worry at all. I wish they lived near me so they can dog sit more often!”
“Damian was a wonderful friend to George ! I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to take care of your pet. We haven’t left George with many new people and our dog seemed very happy and relaxed in Damian’s care. George had a few special needs and Damian had no problem making sure they were met. He also made it a point to take him out everyday to one of his favorite nature walks (the Douglas Preserve) where he could interact with other dogs, which George loves. Damian has a dog of his own so you can tell he has a love and intuitive understanding for our furry friends. He went above and beyond in care for our dog George! Thanks Damian.”
About: I have two dogs one is a (miniature poodle) who is 14. My other dog (toy poodle) who is 9. I have volunteered at a senior dog rescue for 5 years now at which I help groom, set up foster homes and adoptions, take dogs on walks, provide them medication and help cleaning up after them. I am currently a student and I have class twice a week for around 2 hours but other than that I am very free and available to spend time with your dog! I have a gated apartment complex which has a yard in the middle of it. I am flexible in terms of crates and other equipment since I have a pretty spacious living room. Both of my dogs are back in San Francisco where I am from so I have no other pets living in my apartment.
“So sweet and kept me updated!! 🤍🤍”
“They're amazing! My dog has big time anxiety with new people since he's a rescue but he had the best time and was so comfortable there. I think my dog has new bestfriends and will be going there more often!”
“Excellent! My dog came home rested, and he seemed calm. This showed me he was loved, and kept in the right environment. I was updated many times on his well being, and the sitter even bathed him! Many thanks!”
“I am reluctant to leave a positive review because I don't want her to be filled up with other clients when I need her but she was awesome with our puppy Norman. I love that she works from home, she kind and knows what she is doing and of course her dog honey was a gentle giant to my pup.”
