“This was Berkley’s second time staying with Reynaldo and his family in their immaculate home for about a week. They took such good care of him, loving him like one of their own. They dedicated a room just for Berkley, setting up a bed, blanket, and his toys to make my pup feel at home. Berkley came back happy, well taken care of, and loved. I received updates with pictures and videos more than once a day; most places won’t even send you one picture for an entire stay. As an added bonus, Max and Maxine are the sweetest pups to keep Berk company and play with. I wholeheartedly recommend them and will definitely be back.”


“I will definitely be rebooking Sindi again and also HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs a great pet sitter. My dog Pudge LOVES Sindi! Sindi brought Pudge back home to me after we returned from our trip. As soon as she had greeted me joyfully, my doggy was ready to jump back in to Sindi’s car!! Thank you Sindi!!!”


“Wow! I was so anxious to leave our very spoiled 5 month old kitten Flash Gordon for the first time but he couldn’t have had a more loving home to spend the weekend with. Erika, thank you for not making me feel like an overprotective parent and having the video chat to show me where Flash would be staying. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond so quickly. The best part was seeing my baby 3 times a day and hearing about his adventures with you all! Thank You Thank You for everything! You’re officially Aunt Erica and Flash will be visiting you soon!”

“I booked with Brando for Mulan our dog for 6 nights when we went on vasation in Seattle. Lorena his mom and Gerry his brother who is autistic helped take care of Mulan who seems so happy to be with them, They have a huge fenced yard where dogs can walk and ran around and be safe with no chance of getting away. Gerry loves to be with Mulan the first time he met her and Lorena updates me by sending pictures of Mulan while we're away. The next time we need somebody to take care of our pets I would use them again. Lorena and Gerry thank you so much for taking care of Mulan like uour own.”

“We went on vacation for a few days, and this was our first time using this type of care for our beloved pet. He was happy when we left and happy when he returned — that means a lot to us.

“Tami was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Luke, this past weekend. From the moment we met, I felt confident in her ability to take care of him. She was friendly, professional, and clearly has a great love for dogs. Throughout the weekend, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Luke seemed so happy and relaxed in her care. I could tell he was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and love. When I picked him up, he was calm and content, which is a sure sign that he had a great time with Tami. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Tami, for taking such good care of Luke!”


“Terrie is the best sitter!! She took care of my Cici, a yorkie, as if it was one of her own pets for 5 days. Very lovely and kind-hearted person, warm home, very organized and kept me informed of my dog everyday. Cici had a great time! We will definitely book again with her for our next trip. Only good and beautiful things to say, and very thankful that we have found Terrie!!”


“Sonia was great, with updates and pictures in the morning and evening. The dogs looked happy, and confortable around her at the end of the stay. First time boarding my dogs, was a little concerned since one is a pit mix, and big cry baby, she met him the day before; very happy with her service.”


About: With two beloved goldendoodles (ages 5 and 2) and a lifelong love of animals, including growing up with dogs and parrots, I offer trusted, experienced care. I work from home so I am available 24/7. Your pet(s) will fit seamlessly into my routine, enjoying plenty of attention, walks, and playtime daily! When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety by providing a secure, pet-friendly environment, free from hazards. I offer 24/7 supervision, ensuring constant care. Trust is built through open communication with pet owners, and I follow any specific guidelines they provide. Pets are part of my daily routine, with regular walks, playtime, and feeding schedules to keep them comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s usual environment to minimize stress, following safety protocols, and providing updates to reassure the owners while they’re away.

About: I’ve cared for my own fur baby for 2 years, so I know what it takes to keep pups happy and healthy (and to survive the occasional “zoomies” and sock theft). While I’m new to professional dogsitting, I’m a genuine dog lover who vibes well with all personalities—from shy pups to playful goofballs. I provide chill, patient care and will try my best to keep your pup's routine on point! I just graduated, so my summer is wide open! Which means I can give your furbaby all the attention, care, and love that they deserve 24/7. I currently house a pup of my own, who's pretty shy but is very sweet and friendly once he warms up. He is fully crate trained and does well with dogs who respect his space. I will, of course, do slow supervised introductions to make sure every pet is comfortable! I live in a cozy and clean home with easy outdoor access for potty breaks/walks. Your babies will be in a safe environment and I will make sure to stick to their usual routine as closely as possible.

About: I’ve had pets all my life growing up from cats to dogs to even turtle. I love all type of animals and gave plenty of experience taking care of them I am currently a student and work part time, but I mostly at home most of the day and have lots of time to pet sit. I live at an apartment complex that is pet friendly. there is lots of space at my apartment and in the outside for your pets to walk around

About: Whenever my friends are out town they count on me to watch their children (cats and dogs), I always make sure they’re safe around me. Currently have more availability to take pets out in the mornings/afternoon any day is fine. I am flexible, depending what is needed for the pet. I always ensure pets are fed and have water, and feel comfortable around me. Playtime is fun, especially when they have toys to play with.

Tam N.
“Though Tam has never personally pet sat my dog, I know that she is a kind and an extremely responsible dog owner. I’ve been with her and her dog many times and I’ve seen enough to know how she handles her dog with care and assertiveness to correct her dog’s misbehaviors. Tam also always puts her dog first. For example, before every study session after school and every hang out, Tam stops by her house first to care for her dog despite having others at home to take care of him. She makes taking care of a dog seem easy and moreover, less of a responsibility and more of a fulfillment to her love for pets.”
