1. Doh H.
“Rusty had back surgery 18 months ago so leaving him at a kennel to play with other dogs wasn’t an option. This was the first time I have used a sitter for Rusty, so I was very nervous to leave him with just anyone. I can happily say that Doh has far exceeded my expectations. Not only was the communication excellent (I received multiple texts and pictures throughout the day, which significantly lessened my anxiety), Doh prepared a table noting Rusty’s daily activities and feeding times. Rusty was taken for walks twice each day and Doh played and snuggled with him. Doh also unexpectedly laundered her bedding and towels and also cleaned my stovetop and microwave! I will be calling Doh anytime I need a sitter for Rusty. I cannot recommend her enough. I didn’t worry at all about leaving Rusty with Doh for the week!”
2. Gabriela M.
“Gabriela was great with my puppy. It was so nice being able to leave her at the hotel and not worry. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know.”
3. Allie D.
“Allie is the best sitter I have met. My Dog loved her so much. He has separation anxiety and we had to travel but Allie made sure he was happy and comfortable. She constantly send updates and really payed attention to his needs. I will always go with Allie from now on. So happy to have found her ?”
4. Emily N.
“My fur baby is newly adopted, and like most new parents, I was extremely nervous about leaving her. However, Emily put my mind right at ease. As soon as she walked in the door, my baby wagged her tail and welcomed her in. It immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that everything was going to be all right. Emily is prompt, professional, patient, kind, and focused in customer service. I would DEFINITELY book her again and again.”
5. Lydia B.
“Lydia did amazing watching our dogs for the first time! She sent lots of photos and helped our nervous dog Korra feel comfortable! Thanks Lydia!”
6. Amanda W.
“Amanda was so amazing, I’m so sad she won’t be able to be a permanent sitter for us since school is starting again for her soon. Ari was so well taken care of and our home was left in perfect condition! She sent us photos and checked in frequently. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
7. Gisele W.
“Gisele was wonderful with our dog, Bianco. She told me when she arrived and sent me pictures to up date me several times over just 3 days and 2 nights. I would totally recommend her and I will be for sure using her again.”
8. Tarah F.
“Tarah is a Professional and organized sitter. We hired her for a 3 day at-home stay and she took great care of our pup - 3 year border collie. She sent us frequent updates and overall was a great experience”
9. Eunji K.
“I highly recommend Eunji as a pet caregiver. She is not only responsible and reliable but also genuinely loves animals. Whenever Eunji is around animals, they naturally gravitate towards her—it's like she's a dog whisperer! She has previously taken care of my sister's dog, whom we cherish dearly, and did so with so much care and attention. Eunji also has a dog of her own, which only adds to my trust in her abilities to care for pets. I always feel at ease knowing my pet is in her hands. Her compassionate and loving nature makes her the perfect choice for any pet care needs.”
10. Aubrey V.

12. Meredith M.
“Meredith took great care of our home and our dogs. She took our dogs on multiple walks, and we hear there were lots of snuggles in between! We had a relaxed time away from home because we knew Meredith had us covered! Thank you, Meredith!”
13. Cheyenne M.
“Cheyenne was great! She was really on top of communicating and sent many cute pictures of Bambi while we were away to reassure us that Bambi was being well taken care of. She really went above and beyond. I would definitely book her again!”
14. Brooklyn M.
About: Hi, my name is Brooklyn and I have been working at a dog walker for a few years. I am a 20 year old college student getting ready to transfer to CSUS. My schedule is pretty open and I can do walks, drop ins or over nights depending on your needs. I am looking at careers working with kids and animals and can't decide yet because I love them both. I love working as a dog walker/sitter because I get to meet a lot of different pets. I currently work as a Dog Walker/House Sitter. I have clients who I see during the week and love doing this full time while I am in school. It started originally because I would get asked by my neighbors who would watch me walking my dogs. From there it grew and I found I really loved taking care of pets. I take care of my pet clients the same way I take care of my own. Pets are cherished family members and I love making pets feel safe while their families are away or giving them a break during the day for a walk. I find my jobs really fulfilling.
15. Cindy H.
“Cindy house and puppy sat for us while we were out of town. She was very professional and communicative throughout the whole experience, our dog was very happy with her, and she went above and beyond with looking after and tidying up our house. Will definitely use her again.”
16. Kelsey E.
“She did a great job with Abby. I would like more pictures while I'm gone, but the ones she sent were fantastic. Looking forward to further trips knowing Abby is well cared for.”

18. Breanna C.
“Breanna is the best! I would recommend her to all my friends and family who need a dog sitter. Marco is a bit hard to handle even though he is so sweet and loving. But he has been thought a lot especially after his surgery, guys u have to understand, there are differences between people who loves dogs and understands dog , that’s why you really need a professional like Breanna. Before using her, I had two friends offer to take care of my dog, but after two days, they gave up 😅. But Breanna is our lifesaver! She understands dogs, can read their behavior and temperament, and my dog loves her! And she is so thoughtful. We came home from a 2-week trip, and there was a warm welcome message and lovely gifts waiting for us. She is so sweet! We are more than happy now, and we can plan our next trip without worrying. She is the best!”
19. Arizona V.
“Arizona is she best! She stayed with our dog, Lucy, for five nights and we returned to a happy, relaxed dog and a clean, well-cared for home. Not only did Arizona watch Lucy, she watered plants for us and kept our hummingbird feeders stocked. She sent great pictures of Lucy each day and was super responsive whenever I contacted her. Highly recommend and hope to have her back soon!”
20. Joana Gillian D.
About: Hello! Im Joana. I’ve been around animals all my life. My first pet was a rescue dog named Marley who was 8 years old. Since then I have always wanted to rescue and finally got to rescue my own dog 2 years ago. She is now 4 years old and is an Australian shepherd named Maple. I do have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescue dogs. I currently work full time in healthcare and work night shifts. I have my scheduled shifts out months in advance, which makes scheduling easier for you and me. I can work with the random crazy hours, that is something I am used to. I live in an apartment with my dog. It is completely gated. I am willing to sit in the clients home as well and offer drop in visits.
