Top rated Kerns doggy day care sitters
“We tried the drop in service today and it gave me such piece of mind knowing Dash was entertained rather than sitting at home alone. Tommy was quick to respond and very accommodating. Dash came home happy and sleepy. A++”
“Ian was so kind to watch my dog without many days' notice. And, he was patient with her fears and with her just not warming up to the situation... ever. He had several dogs in the house with him and they were all super friendly and excited to see my dog -and- Ian is in a lovely home and neighborhood.”
“Erica is great! She’s very communicative and sends photos and updates throughout the day. Charlie was very happy when I picked her up and she can’t wait to go back at the same time.”
“Allen is awesome! He took great care of our 5 month old puppy. Allen is great for dog socialization and personalized, attentive care. Highly recommend!”
“Beverly has saved my life more than once watching my puppy Kimchi! I get regular updates, lots of pictures, and Kimchi is always excited anytime she knows she’s going over there. She gets lots of walks, playtime, and attention. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Naomi is amazing. She's so great with Coven and keeps me updated. I love that Coven gets so excited to see Naomi and her dog Lola. I know I can definitely count on her.”
“Amanda was so welcoming and caring while dog sitting for Q. She was knowledgeable and very capable; made sure to know what Q’s needs were. Her dog Ginger was friendly and understanding of Q being shy. Q was so well taken care of in a few days she went from being really shy to getting all excited play with Ginger. Amanda made sure Q had her walks and gave me all the updates I needed. Q started to participate in play more so I know her time with Amanda was safe, fun, and instructive! I would definitely recommend her for dog waking and dog sitting!”
“So far so good! We had Gomez come for his first time last week and all the doggos got along great it seemed, he even made a bestie for the day! Stephanie was available all day when I checked in and has been really flexible on my ever changing work schedule.”
“Laura and Nicholas are so wonderful. They are patient and sweet with my girl Gigi. Very communicative, reliable and have been such a help on my long work days. Gigi is so excited to get to their home and for a sassy fierce pup like mine that is such a relief. They play ball with her, she gets to relax in their backyard and even takes her on hikes. They both have a warm energy and working with them has been a breeze. Definitely would and have recommended them!”
“Caitlin was so kind and patient with both dogs, especially my more fearful/anxious chihuahua. Her dog Lucy is a sweetheart and was also great with the small dogs.”
“Evita was so informative and warm and friendly - especially with my dog being shy and nervous. I truly felt comfortable having my dog in her care”
“Sijie is an absolutely wonderful pup sitter! From the moment she starts caring for my dog, I feel completely at ease. She goes above and beyond by sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos throughout the day, which is such a comfort for an anxious pup mom like me. It’s clear she truly cares and takes the time to make sure my pup feels loved, safe, and happy while I’m away. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s reliable, attentive, and has such a calming presence. I always know my dog is in great hands with Sijie!”
“Washington loved it at Dahlia’s. She really helped make sure Washington was comfortable and he enjoyed going on walks with Dahlia. Thank you.”
“We're big fans of Maggie! She's a true dog whisperer. She takes really good care of our beloved blind mini-schnauzer and gives him the extra TLC he needs. The last time we dropped him off, he ran to her with a wagging tail as if he were greeting an old friend. We highly recommend Maggie for your dog-sitting needs - she has a calm and loving presence (our dog is always smiling when we pick him up) and she is quick to respond to our texts. ”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have cared for just about every kind of pup, from tiny, hyper puppies to sweet, slow-moving seniors. I’ve trained my own two dogs and even helped my family teach their dogs fun tricks like sit, shake, and roll over. What really sets me apart is how much I get dogs. I pay attention to their quirks and needs, whether that’s: Puppies: Helping with potty training, basic commands, or just burning off that endless puppy energy. Senior dogs: Giving gentle walks, handling meds, or just extra cuddle time. Special cases: Shy dogs, high energy breeds, or pups who need a little extra patience. I’m all about making sure both pets and owners feel happy and relaxed. Plus, I’ll always keep you updated with cute pics and fun updates! I am home 4 out of the 7 days of the week and your pup(s) will rarely if ever be unsupervised. I have 2 senior dogs who enjoy multiple walks a day and your dogs could easily join the pack walk. At my home, your pup will be treated like part of the pack! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed whether for meals, naps, or just their own cozy space. Since my dogs and I are always on the move with multiple daily walks high energy dogs will fit right in! If your pup needs to burn off steam, we’ve got trails to explore and games to play. For calmer dogs, we’re just as happy with leisurely strolls and couch cuddles. At your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and happy. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite playtime rituals, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter. Plus, I’ll send plenty of updates so you know your furry friend is thriving!
“Makeup had a wonderful time and was good and tired when she came home. I appreciated the photos I got too”
“Emily did a great job watching our 9 month old lab, Bruno, for the day while we had out of town guests. She is so calm, friendly and professional, I knew he would be in good hands. There was one other playful dog staying with her and Bruno had a great time, while Emily's 11 year old Lab, Lola, sweetly watched over the proceedings. Bruno came home tired and happy, and we got to enjoy a day out with visiting friends. I would highly recommend Emily, she is great!”
“Our nervous dog had an amazing day with Christopher while we hosted a party. She had several long walks and lots of rest time before coming home exhausted. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girlie”
“Charlie had an awesome time with Rabecca. He came home tired... I was astounded! Ethan did great at tiring him out and he definitely enjoyed the homely/ lively atmosphere of her house... including the back yard”

Rosa R.
“Rosa is incredible! She took care of my pup, Olive, for 6 days while I was out of town. I got several photos and updates daily and I could tell my girl was treated as she was family in Rosa’s care. Rosa did a fantastic job dealing with Olive’s anxiety by taking her on many walks, cuddling her, playing with her, giving her toys to chew, and just being a loving presence. I would recommend Rosa to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dog. 1000/10 will use her again!”
