“Kevin is very personable and obviously an animal lover. My 3 dogs are as important to me as any other family member, and I was totally confident in leaving them in his care. Kevin stayed in touch with us, sending pics and messages to let us know all was well. Kevin was attentive to their care as 2 require medication and being typical lap dogs, they like lots of attention. Kevin was respectful of our home and our belongings. We highly recommend Kevin and will gladly have him care for our dogs in the future.”


“Tony was an absolute lifesaver! During our visit to Palm Springs for Pride weekend, we initially booked him for an in-home sitting with about an hour's notice for our 1-year-old Bedlington Terrier, Oliver. When our plans changed last minute, Tony didn’t miss a beat—he offered to pick up Oliver himself. We decided to have him come to our hotel instead, and with just 30 minutes’ notice, he arrived promptly and stayed with Oliver from 10 PM to 3:30 AM. Oliver had a fantastic time with him, and throughout the night, Tony sent us tons of pictures and updates, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely hire him again when we're in town!”


“Melinda is a true gem! She helped me out last minute and was so courteous and respectful of my fur kids. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt they were taken care of. Would I use her again? I have used this service a lot and she is the one who will stand out as the best that i have ever had. So friendly, so willing to help, super respectful, and just a cool person to boot. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“My gosh what a wonderful young lady she took the most beautiful care of my animals and my home. Erika is a wonderful selection as a house sitter. I will absolutely hire her again.”


“We were so happy to find Renee to stay at our house and take care of our dog! She is so nice, took great care of our dog, house and sent wonderful pictures! Look forward to having her stay again.”



“Julie was wonderful! She took time to get to know us and our routine in advance, and was genuinely loving to my dog Lily. She updated me while I was away which was great. When I got back she had washed the sheets knowing I had recently moved and might not have a clean set in the cupboard, had left me some helpful informational notes and even left me some beautiful flowers! What a gem, so glad to have found her!”


“This was our first time using Rover and were a little apprehensive about a stranger coming to our house, but Hayley met with us before she came to pet sit. We felt comfortable after meeting with her. We knew our dog Lucky would be in good hands! Hayley stayed at our house for 2 nights and communicated regularly with us. We are very happy with Hayley and will use her again in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up from friends and family. Grew up on a farm with plenty of animals. Love them all! I currently work full time during weekdays but can care during the weekends full time! Friday nights-Sunday night. Can also do walks 6am-8am or after 5 on weekdays. I ensure plenty of play time and outside walks are provided. I never let the pet feel alone as they are already feeling alone away from their owner!

About: I've had 2 dogs my whole life. Both which lived over 10 years each. I've also taken care of my daughters 3 labs since they were puppies. I am retired and live in a casita so I can give all my attention to your fur babies. I'm available most of the time since I'm retired. I love walking everyday everywhere . Please feel free to contact me anytime. Monday through Friday are the best days for me. I don't have any dogs so I don't have to worry about that. And your dog will be safe with me in my secured house.

“Janna watched my zoo of pets (4 dogs, a cat, and a tortoise) while my husband and I were out of town. She did great and we will definitely book her again! She followed all our instructions (there were a lot) and was great about staying in touch and sharing pictures of them. We miss them a lot while we are gone… they are our babies. It was nice piece of mind having someone we could trust to watch them.”


About: I’ve watched or checked up on friends animals when they were away. I love animals. I have a dog myself and I know first hand how important fur friends are Considering I have an animal myself, I know how important it is to care for an animal. I consider my dog to be family, so I make sure to give my dog the best life. Depending on the living situation of who I’m taking care of, I’ll make sure doors and gates are locked. The animal has plenty of food and water.

About: Love animals, I've been taking care of them since i was little, sick fur babies and hyper fur babies. I can work with any :) even the jealous ones My days are always clear, with a week or 3 days in advance to work with animals I am free. Last minute scheduling will only be expected if needed. I will always open my schedule for your fur babies I always make sure my dogs and cats are well feed and hydrated, if its too hot outside they will NOT go outside unless they are provided with shoes or must use the bathroom. I make sure animals are always active for at least 2-3 hours a day.
About: Your pet is your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them. I am mature, reliable, flexible and trustworthy person. I'm responsible and very understanding of dogs and will provide them with a calm presence during the stay. I love meeting new people and dogs. I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I am confident that you will find me to be an outstanding pet sitter. My commitment is to make sure your pet is safe, happy and very well taken care of. It will be a one-on-one special treatment with your pups. I have no other dogs. I have no pets, no other adults and no children in my home. My home is very comfy with a private secure wall all around.

About: My house has been full of animals for all of my life, including dogs, cats, ferrets, lizards, rats/rodents, snakes, spiders, fish, etc! I have had experience with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments, and was given praise by a local dog shelter for calming down and disciplining dogs in distress. I am running on a very flexible schedule and want to work with you! I just graduated and am looking to sustain myself while following my passions for art. I am constantly aware of the whereabouts of the animals I am caring for to be able to keep them safe and free of trouble. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and safe collar grab techniques to calm down a dog in distress.

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs!

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.

Melissa H.
“Melissa is a lover of dogs. Especially, the small breed. She has always been good to her pets in seeing they are well-fed and loved and all vaccinations up to par. In addition, I have known her to buy her pets sweaters in the winter so they are warm and cute. I have also known her to brush their teeth, take them to the vet dentistry, and to the parlor to have their nails clipped. If you are looking for someone to watch and care for your pet, they will be safe and well-cared for by Melissa H.”
