“Ariel was excellent with our 2 dogs while we were away. One was small dog 10 years old and the other 2 year with separation issues and very skittish. She handled the situation very well. We are very thankful. Jim and Lorna Hinds”
“Lori was the greatest, she looked after Daisy like she was her own. She even got her a couple new toys which was so nice. She stayed in my house for the week I was gone and kept it perfectly. I would highly recommend Lori for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Neomi is a thoughtful and caring sitter. She took wonderful care of our "senior" dog. We were impressed with the way she followed Rosie's lead in choosing the activities of the day. We highly recommend Neomi!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 17. I’ve help family and friends care for pets when I babysit their children. I loved being around the pets and children which is why I use my extra free time to provide attentive and loving care to others babies and fur babies as well! I currently work from home full time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. They would have my attention and care at any time needed as I have more than enough time on my hands. I live in an apartment complex close to the beach, so I am open to caring for them in your home or mine! Whichever works best for you!
“Hanna was great. She took great care of my older dog. I highly recommend her.”
“Janine was amazing watching our pets while we were away for a few days. Severus is a large dog and we trusted Janine to take him out for walks and to care for him. Our cat was very playful and rambunctious and she kept him entertained. We were able to rest assured on our trip that the animals were in good hands during their first weekend without us. Thank you, Janine!”
About: I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help! I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies. With my current seasonal hours slowing down, your pets can be guaranteed a sitter with pretty open availability! I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!

Jessi B.
“Jessi always had love for animals ever since we were little kids. Every time he spotted a stray cat or dog he would stop everything he was doing to do everything in his power to help them, for some reason as if he knew he would come across a stray he always kept food and water in a backpack in case he would come across a dog or cat. He always preferred to be around animals instead of friends or family members, they are truly his life.”
