“This was my first time using a sitter like this. Normally I have used a kennel. My last few kennel experiences were not great. In fact the last one was horrific. My dog could hardly walk when I picked her up and they claimed it was from being in crate all weekend, but it was more than that. Her back was out of whack and she had to get an adjustment and acupuncture. Genae was really patient with all of my questions as I was a bit insecure trying something new. My one dog is 15 years old and kind of a special needs at this point. When I picked them up they both looked happy and well cared for. She sent me pictures of them daily and they looked like they were comfortable and at home there. My younger little dog got to be around other dogs which he loves as his senor sister isn't much of a player anymore. I will be using her again, next month actually!!!”


“Alora’s back yard is a dream for a dog! All fenced in and lots of running room! Always felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her and they were so happy to be there and didn’t want to leave! That’s how I knew they were in good hands!”


“Jean is super sweet and accommodating. She sent lots of photos and updates and took really great care of our border collies. Jean has a lovely space with a big, fenced backyard and two dogs of her own that are very friendly! I would definitely recommend and book again 🙂”



“Aimee and Jake took great care of our dogs! Our 5 month old Doberman was worn out and slept most of the next day! They were very flexible and understanding with our travel plans. We will use them again.”


“Absolutely amazing service! They took such great care of my dog—attentive, reliable, and clearly experienced. I came home to a happy, well-loved pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!”


“She's wonderful! We were on vacation and she boarded our shy dog for 3 nights. She gave me daily updates and made us feel welcomed & well communicated with! We knew our special girl was taken well care of. 💗”



“I cannot say enough about how great Nancy and Don were with our puppy. They checked in frequently to let us know how he was doing and shared pictures each day. They are true dog lovers who treated our dog with the love and care as if he were their own. I will definitely use Nancy and Don next time I am in Redding and recommend them to anyone in the area.”


“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”


“Isaiah was great with Orion! He sent pics/videos every day and I love seeing those while I'm away. I know my pup had a great time because he was all tuckered out from having fun when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend Isaiah!”


About: I’m 20 years old and have grown up with dogs, cats and other pets my entire life, I currently share my home with two affectionate Golden Retrievers. My family has raised Golden Retriever puppies, and I was actively involved in their early development helping with all aspects of daily routines, including daily therapeutic puppy massages recommended for socializing, service and therapy dogs. Beyond my personal pets, I’ve also provided reliable pet sitting for friends and family, caring for both dogs and cats. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy connecting with animals. Combined with my flexible schedule, especially during the summer, I’m able to offer a level of care that’s both consistent and tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a college student, my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer. I often assist my family with work and take on additional responsibilities. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I take the time to focus on your pets needs and ensure they’re well cared for. When caring for pets, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that helps them feel right at home. I live in a house with a large securely fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to play both indoors and relax outdoors under supervision. I also have two loving Golden Retrievers who are very friendly and well-socialized. They enjoy having fur friends stay and play. I’m fully capable of separating dogs when needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Routine and personalized care are priorities for me—I stick closely to each pet’s feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, and I make sure to give them plenty of attention, enrichment, and downtime. For clients who prefer in-home care, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their pet’s daily routine with the same level of attentiveness. I will also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Ashley has been the best sitter my 2 boy bernedoodles have had. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her and her precious daughters being so welcoming to them. I liked that Ashley was intentional about making sure she had all the information she needed for their stay. I appreciated the pictures. I appreciate that she didn't have a lot of other dogs in her home besides her handsome dog Bolt. I definitely hit Jack pot with Ashley and will definitely be a repeat!”


“Matt and his family did a great job boarding our dog. There was lots of outdoor playtime and walks, and they made sure Tucker was comfortable for bedtime. We will gladly reach out to Matt in the future for boarding.”


About: Hi! I have had dogs and cats all my life. I currently work from home. This provides your pet with constant supervision and attention, all needs being met! I work from home and have for over 5 years. This allowed the time to really watch over your pet and being able to handle anything they need. I have a fenced in small back yard. My apartment also offers locations to walk dogs and allow them to poop and get some extra room.

“Vidalia is very accommodating and patient. I was moving from a different state and I had to move my cats separately as I was flying by plane. My cats arrived a day before me and Vidalia agreed to take care of them even though it was very late at night. One of my cats was stressed out because of the move and was even aggressive towards her. Despite all, she took care of them patiently. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies :)”


About: I’m a RN, with a passion for animals. A mom of 3 fur babies and 2 human babies 💕 longest pet sitting was a week, I have been around animals all my life and are very comfortable around them. I’m a home health nurse. So I’m gone around 4 hrs a day. However my husband works nights. So there is always someone at the home with the animals. I try to start my day early so I can have time to walk the pups before it gets too hot or later in the evening when it cools down. I have a fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs that love to play, who have also always been around different dogs. We have tile flooring so if there’s an accident no worries! We have a doggy door so they have full access to the tiled living room area and the back yard for them to come and go as they please. I care for animals in other homes based on instructions from that specific client.

“Shawna was amazing!! Our two dogs were well loved by her whole family. She sent lots of pictures throughout of them on walks and cuddled up together. She even helped us with local hike recommendations. We will definitely be using here again!”


“Kira did an amazing job watching our sweet 5month old pup. She sent us updates and photos on how River was doing while my husband and I were on our Mini-Moon. We had just taken River to the groomers prior to boarding her and were joyfully surprised that she was still so clean when we picked her up! We will definitely be using Kira’s services again.”

Tyson W.
“Tyson was an exceptional dog sitter for me. He took very good care of my dogs, even after I warned him about my “crazy” one, Penny. He was able to calm her down and care for her properly while I was in Korea for a week. I would absolutely recommend Tyson to anyone looking for a humble, smart, and kind dog/house sitter. Tyson went above and beyond for me, and I really appreciate it, he even watered plants for me that I didn’t tell him about, and I couldn’t even let him cause I was across the world. Anyways, 10/10 service.”

She pays allot of attention to the animal and if the animal ever needs anything she'll take care of it or she will find a way to get it done. She has a heart of gold and very gentle hands. You'll have to trust me on this, I'm her boyfriend. Ariele definitely has a way with animals and i would trust her to take care of my animals. Hopefully whoever reads this will do the same.”
