“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”


“Olivia was great! Flexible on pickup/drop off times and such a caring sitter. Merlin is a hyper puppy and she was great about taking him out on walks & to the park. He went right to sleep when he came home! Will definitely book again in the future.”


“Kristina was so sweet, loving, and caring towards my little puppy! Her yard is so cute and spacious, perfect for dogs. Very communicative and reliable which is hard to find with Rover so I am so grateful for Kristina’s help! Thanks so much!”


“Victoria is very nice, helpful, easy to communicate with and flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Our dog seems content when she came home. Would 100% book a day care with Victoria again!”


“Brandon did good with our pup! He is skittish sometimes (we’re learning) and gave us a scare at the end of the day. I would recommend Brandon. My pup enjoyed the beach and playing fetch.”


“We’ve officially found our permanent sitter for our babies for whenever we visit the San Diego area! Ashwini went above and beyond and was so communicative, accommodating, responsive, and a total animal whisperer! I could tell mozzarella LOVES ashwini and can’t wait to see her again :) our little kiwi also really loved his stay! If you need a loving caregiver that really loves animals, Ashwini is your caregiver! Thank you again so so much and we know mozzarella and kiwi are looking forward to their stay with you again soon!”


“We were very anxious leaving Moose at doggy daycare because he is a very large anxious dog. Lauryn was wonderfully patient with Moose helping him settle in. She sent us photo updates so we were able to relax at our event . We will definitely Moose back !”


“Angelica took such great care of our 4 month old puppy, Tapioca. She sent us pictures throughout the day and took him on 3 walks! Plus, their dachshund, Copper, was also wonderful playmate. We will definitely reach out again for dog sitting with Angelica.”


“Sunny is so warm and friendly, and was super accommodating with our schedule. She made our dog Bandit, who has separation anxiety, calm and comfortable right from the start. Her beautiful home and dog friendly yard were perfect for Bandit and he had a great time with Sunny and her sweet dog. We will be booking again this week. Thanks Sunny!”


“Julie was so responsive and accommodating, even with a young puppy and a last-minute request for daycare help when my work schedule unexpectedly changed. She and her sweet dog Mr Carson were a welcoming companions for a doggie who’s been through a lot of changes in just a few days. Her communication updates and photos were fantastic. A consummate professional, who came across as knowledgeable, experienced and reassuring.”


“Ana was amazing and super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made things so much easier for us! She provided a warm, safe, and fun environment for Coco, and kept me updated throughout the day. She took great care of Coco, and I could tell he felt happy and safe with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating sitter!”


“Super happy we found this place! Our dog Java loved staying here; they took her on walks, she loved the resident dogs and she had a great time in the pool. We got a very happy and very tired dog back! We will definitely book more stays with Nicolette, Lee and Oliver!”

“Fantastic Last-Minute Sitter! Rebecca was incredibly prompt and responsive when I reached out for a last-minute booking to watch Whiskey for a few hours. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and it was clear right away that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. Whiskey was comfortable and happy with her, and he got along wonderfully with her dog—which was a big plus! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again”

About: Experienced in taking care of family and friends' dogs. Your dog will be staying with my 21 pound, 12 year old, friendly poodle mix Perry. Good sized one bedroom condo that is not overwhelming for your dog, and will get frequent breaks outside and 1-2mile walks around this peaceful and safe neighborhood. I work from home, so I'm mostly at home unless I need to be out to run errands. If your dog is boarding with me then I'll make a point to plan to be with them most of the time. I own and live alone in my condo with a small patio and doggy door. Windows are always open to keep it cool inside, and there are no obvious hazards for dogs to get into trouble. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe, I walk my dog Perry on a leash around here all the time.

“Caroline was wonderful! We came in town for the weekend with our two small (needy) dogs. They have separation anxiety. Caroline kept them company, fed them dinner and did nice long walks with them. She was timely and attentive. Felt very comfortable leaving her with our babies. Highly recommend her!”
