Christian was great with our little goobers! I got a lot of great photo updates checking and can tell they had a great time. I appreciate him keeping a close eye on them when they were in the backyard and they got some much needed naps! Will definitely be using him on the regular ?

From the moment we dropped off our pup, I felt completely at ease. My dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She sent regular updates with photos and messages, which meant the world to me and gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I will definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!

We highly recommend Francisca. Our dog, Buddy had the best time with her. My children mentioned how calm Buddy was when we picked him up.(I don’t have to tell you other dog owners what a relief that is;). Francisca communicated well and sent pictures! Definitely plan to use her services again. Five Stars!

We got pictures throughout her stay and details about her schedule. He even taught her some new tricks. I’m so impressed! I would highly recommend Kenny!

About: Dogs have been my life companions and I'm a dedicated caregiver. I have experience raising my own dogs from puppy age on through the senior struggles. I had a big boy for 12 yrs and a big girl for almost 15, who I lost earlier this year. I especially love large dogs and the sweeties known as "bully" breeds. I'm choosing not to have a pet again for a while, so I have extra love and time to give to yours! I am available all days because I am not currently working a full time job and this will be a main source of income for me. I will incorporate the expectations discussed with the pet owner and be very attentive to the pet's needs. Animals tend to gravitate to me, perhaps because I play, pet, cuddle, and talk to them. I would ensure they are safe, happy, and have their needs met.

About: 2020 update: Work from home in PR. Family full of animal lovers. Kids very comfortable with many types of animals as they are taught to respect them. 2017 update: Recently relocated back to Florida earlier this year and as much as we miss California it is nice to be back home with Family, especially now that we have a new bundle of joy (one without fur ;p )! Will be updating the images of our new 2 story home that is more spacious and accommodating for all types of pups :) Previous description: Hi there! My husband and I moved here from Florida back in October. I worked at a tech company in downtown San Diego after I moved out here and it just re-confirmed office life isn't for me. I love animals and am trying to start a business involving dogs. Back in Florida I would pet sit for many of my friends and family, and they had all types of dogs. We have a 2-bedroom town home with a lot of space. We also have 2 of our own furbabies, a mini beagle and a lab mix. We take them to the dog park by our house, many walks a day, and to the dog beach (their favorite!). I have great availability. Picture text updates of your pooch, as well!

Serenah is so responsive and on top of it!! This was our dog Oliver’s first visit with her to get him ready to board for an upcoming trip, so he was only at daycare for a few hours. Even though it was a short visit, Serenah walked him and took several pictures for us. So happy to have found such a lovely sitter in a home setting so our little guy doesn’t have to be locked away at a kennel!
