“Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!”


“-0 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Dog Sitter. Went over and above taking care of our two yorkies. They became attached and didn’t want Megan to leave. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Laura was a great help! She was able to work from our house and watch our puppy during the day so we didn’t have to crate her or worry about her getting into trouble. We would book her again ??”

“She was a very good pet sitter for our two dogs and tortoise. Daily texts back and forth with all questions answered within several minutes. We had a wonderful week long vacation especially because we knew they were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Valeriya was amazing with our boys! She had such an attention to detail and was super quick to communicate. We loved getting photo and video updates! We would love to have her back anytime!!”

“Olivia provided excellent care for my Siberian Husky at my home during my weekend trip. She was punctual, sent updates with pictures, accommodated a last-minute booking, and was flexible with the schedule. I would confidently recommend her services for dog sitting or walking.”

“Mallory is great! Khaleesi loves her and she played and played with her! Is he asks lots of questions and is very thorough. She also sends updates and photos! I would definitely recommend Mallory!!”

“Jeanette is professional, thorough with following instructions, flexible, and was great with our doggie. We had a minor schedule change at the last minute, and she was incredibly supportive. Our fur fluffers loved her the minute she walked in the door. Highly recommend.”

“Arlene was such a pleasure to work with! She sent pictures and updates of our pup throughout our trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch our pup!”


About: Lifelong dog fan. I have always been the dog-sitter for coworkers and friends. When it comes to my family’s pets, I am the one who will walk and bathe the dogs. I've volunteered for a dog rescue project where I cared for a broad range of dogs. Big, small, young, old, nervous, or mellow - I have seen them all! I love obedience training and teaching dogs new tricks. I work part-time, so my availability varies.
“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”

“Taryn was a great sitter, who was neat and considerate and who left a very content dog when she left our house. Our return plans were uncertain due to weather in CO but Taryn was more than willing to adjust her schedule to accommadate ours and Buddy's needs. Would definitely call on her again.”

“Kostyantyn did a great job with our 1 year old boxer Caesar. They got along very well, and he was able keep Caesar busy with walks and play and eventually he took afternoon nap. We were kept updated with pics throughout day. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello! I am a dog mom to a senior pup and a trained “doggy day out” volunteer at the SPCA Monterey County animal shelter. I would love to help care for your furry sweethearts! I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I primarily work from home, which gives me flexibility during the week, and I have a lot of weekend availability for your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will diligently follow your instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and do my best to help them feel comfortable and loved.
“Christine was awesome! We received a ton of photos and videos during her stay. We felt so comfortable and happy knowing that our puppy was in capable, loving hands. She also took great care of the house. Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Tara did a great job watching my pup! She came over before the sit and showed great interest in my dog and learning all of his info. She even agreed to have my mom’s dog over for a few hours. She and my dog got along great and, at the end of my trip, I came home to a happy pup!”

“Second time having Mari watch our dog and she was just as amazing as before! If you’re looking for someone who you can trust while you’re away from home, I highly recommend Mari!”


“Mareike stayed with my golden in our apartment while I was on a trip. They clearly bonded quickly and had a great time! I appreciated her updates and diligence with his schedule. Can’t wait to work with her again.”

Sara was fantastic! They stayed in my home for 8 days caring for my dogs, cats, horses and fish. I got daily updates of pictures and videos and they communicated very quickly if I ever reached out. My house was somehow cleaner than I left it and everything was obviously well taken care of. My animals clearly adored Sara and I’m very happy with everything. Would definitely recommend Sara as someone you can trust with your home and pets!

Mallory was wonderful to work with and will definitely use her again when needed. Mallory stepped in at the last minute and made us completely comfortable about leaving our dog in her hands. Lots of pictures and communication while we were away. Would recommend and will definitely call her if we need a dog sitter again.
Taryn was a great sitter, who was neat and considerate and who left a very content dog when she left our house. Our return plans were uncertain due to weather in CO but Taryn was more than willing to adjust her schedule to accommadate ours and Buddy's needs. Would definitely call on her again.

We were on vacation for 2 weeks. Jesse stayed at our house with our 7 month old high energy puppy. Jesse sent us photos and updates regularly. When he had obligations, he took our puppy to be walked and watched by his son Chris. Our little girl was well cared for and Jesse is very responsible and professional. Happy to give 5 star rating!
I feel so fortunate to find Mari. Mari took great care of our four collies, from young to senior. She is excellent in communication, very trustworthy and competent. I will not hesitate to reach out to her for future dog and house sitting needs and recommend her without reservation. It was such a blessing, while out of town, to know our four dogs were in good hands.

John was fabulous! He contacted me for a meet and greet before his stay over. He showed up on time and was super friendly. Things went very smoothly during his stay over. He kept in contact by sending pictures. The house was in perfect order when we returned. I highly recommend John.
