“Jordan stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a few days. She was so kind and updated me many times with how they were doing and pictures for us to see. She even tidied up and did laundry for us which blew me away! I felt great leaving our dogs with her and would request her again! 🙂”
“Carissa was absolutely great! She was on time, communicated and responded quickly, and left the house in immaculate shape. Her love of dogs was obvious and our dog was content and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Carissa and would happily use her services again.”
“You know that feeling of dread you get when you leave your fuzzy critters behind when on vacation? Well I only had it for a short bit of time as Lorretta contacted me and sent me pictures barely before I even left on the plane to let me know they were all ok. Yes I missed them all very much but I felt at ease knowing they were in her care! Pick Lorretta you shan’t regret it! 🤗”
“Steph was an exceptional dog and house sitter! She took my dog Blue for several walks/day, provided daily updates/pictures and left my house very clean. I was able to relax during my time away knowing my dog and house were in good hands. I would definitely ask her to care for Blue again!”

“Ryan was great! Our senior dog recently lost her litter mate sister and gets very anxious when left alone. Ryan watched her for us 3 times over a weekend at our rental and our dog took to her right away. Ryan was very accommodating, punctual, helpful. When we’re back in the area she’s our first choice. Highly recommended!”
“Marg was great with my two dogs while we were out of town for a weekend with family. She was communicative and sent me a few photos and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell the boys felt comfortable with her! Thanks again, Marg.”

About: I have pet sit for my family and friends for many years! I would love to care for all animals and your best friends :) I work full time as a nurse but only work 3x a week. willing to work around my schedule to take care of your besties:) My home is very clean and lack of clutter. I have carpet but its easy to clean:) I am excited to take care your friends.
About: I used to work at a vet clinic, so I am good with emergencies and handling special instructions. I am professional, organized, communicative and trustworthy. I work from home 99% of the time, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’ll hang out with your pets as long as needed. What you say goes and you know what is best for your pet, so tell me what you need and I’ll happily make it happen.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.
About: I have been taking care of cats, dogs, small animals, and exotic animals since I was 10. I’ve always loved animals and I worked at a pet hospital so I’m very comfortable with administration of medication and special needs/senior care if needed and I also have trained many puppies! I am current available everyday! I do go to church on Sundays. I am here for your dogs needs however and whenever they need me. My goal is to put your pups first. At my home they would stay with me in my room to sleep so they aren’t scared and feel welcome. They can also stay in a separate room, bed, or kennel depending on how they’re trained. If I notice that a pup is stressed, I also have adaptil that I diffuse so they feel more at ease. If I were to go to their house, I would provide the same care as my own home as well! I play guitar and piano and I sing so if I see they respond to music I may play some music if I notice they are stressed.
“I am so late getting to this review. So sorry Jill! Jill stayed overnight with our two labs on the 23rd of December. She was amazing, came home to a clean house and happy and healthy dogs. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
About: My motto is: "Dogs, kids, and mosquitos love me!" Darned if I know why--must be one of my "superpowers" as they say. I have taken care of senior dogs, most recently for two weeks with Georgia near Bangor, Maine. I spent 3 and a half months with Xander in Berkeley, California. Also a month with Lucy & Charlie (Brown?) in Topanga County, CA. I've also enjoyed being with Toby, Latka, and Sookie in San Diego CA. Plus, Luna and yes, another Luna in Los Angeles. Special skills include a long attention span, creative mind, ability to play for hours, up and at 'em early in morning. Also: laying down with dogs and not waking up with fleas! I am a freelance journalist and author who writes books at home. Thus, I rarely leave the house, except to go to a library to work there. Four tomes so far, working on #5, with animals to be with and love--can't beat it! Xander, Sookie, Toby, Ted, Latka...if only dogs & cats could speak! (Sookie did do some kind of sing-song when I played harmonica...) The key to my care is slowing down and showing enormous patience, using experience, and giving mucho attention to love my fellow creatures enormously.
