“Chacho’s Favorite Sitter! When I had to head out of town last minute, Dustin came through like a total pro. He responded right away, suggested a quick meet-and-greet (even though it was our second time booking him!), and made sure every detail was covered. He followed all my instructions to the T — no shortcuts, no guessing games. His updates and photos were prompt and thoughtful, giving me total peace of mind. I came home to a happy pup, a spotless home, and zero worries. Dustin is professional, super friendly, incredibly neat, and completely trustworthy — exactly who you want caring for your fur baby. Chacho’s tail hasn’t stopped wagging. Safe to say — Dustin’s the one.”



“Natalie stayed with our maltipoo Charlie (now 9 months old) for a week. She also stayed with him when he was 4 months. He is still a very busy boy. Natalie is very conscientious. Took excellent care of Charlie. We received lots of pictures. She took care of few chores as well. We have booked Natalie for an upcoming trip. We are thankful we could leave and know Charlie was well for.,”


“Carlos sat for our beloved dog Luna for 3 weeks while we were in Europe. It was such a relief to know that she was well cared for and loved while on our extended journey. We came home to a happy dog and though I told him not to worry about cleaning, the house was immaculate. Carlos kept us informed with pictures and responded promptly to all my messages when away. Carlos is a responsible, caring young man who I will definitely have sit for Luna again!!! I am recommending him to all my friends!”


“Andrea was wonderful! She took really great care of my animals while I was away for camping. I have two very energetic dogs and she did great with them. I also have two cats, one who is very shy. I think it’s a testament to Andrea that my shy cat came out of hiding and allowed pets! I will definitely be booking with Andrea again in the future!”


“Another amazing pet sitting experience with Holly in the books! She took stellar care of my 2 cats and our senior dog. Our dog is a rescue with a history of abuse, and Holly took so much time and care learning what makes our doggo feel comfy. Holly is always communicative and thorough, and it’s an incredible relief to be able to leave town without worry. Thank you, Holly!”


“Chynna was fantastic! We had him stay at our place with our pup and two kitties. He was super communicative, we cute photos and updates, and we felt so great about leaving our little animal pack in his hands. We will absolutely have Chy and stay again.”


About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician who has been nicknamed the cat whisperer. Although cats aren’t my only specialty! I love and care for all animals including; reptiles, insects, fish, and fractious cats or dogs. I am able to medicate your stubborn fur baby’s whether it’s oral or injectable medication, I offer free nail trims if needed while I stay at your home, and I’m able to monitor for any general signs of pain or discomfort and advise if a trip to the Vet is needed. With 5+ years in the Veterinary field and 8+ years of dog walking and pet sitting experience I can promise you your baby(s) will be in good care. During work days I am available to check on your pet early mornings before 7am, mid days around 12pm, and after 6pm. I have 3 days off during the week which will allow me to stay with your pet all day if needed. Trust is earned through gentle interactions and like humans all animals have their own personalities. I am experienced in reading animals body language and identifying if something is wrong. I am experienced in approaching and handling anxious dogs and cats. If extra love and patients is needed then that’s what they will get. I am also able to identify choking, coughing, or seizures and know animal safety very well. Your pet will always be safe with me and will never be in a situation where they will be harmed.

“Vanessa was so professional and responsive throughout our interactions with her. She took great care of our dog and truly seemed to love her as much as we do! She sent an update every day we were gone. She was respectful of our home and left everything in super clean condition and even watered our garden! Would 100% use Vanessa again!”

“Chloe is an excellent house/dog sitter. My 13yr old cocker spaniel, Roscoe, was spoiled by Chloe: he's a picky eater but she got him to eat all his food, she played with him, & walked him around the neighborhood. Roscoe was in heaven! My house was well maintained. Chloe is intelligent & totally responsible & trustworthy. Next time I'm on vacation, I'm calling Chloe again!!”


“Jnaessa took loving care of my three critters (a needy dog and two cats). She gave them love and attention including extra attention to my fussy eater old lady cat to get her to eat. She sent me pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when I arrived home. I will definitely be booking Janessa again.”


About: I grew up with a black Labrador retriever, Benita, we had her for sixteen years. Growing up some of our favorite activities were going on long walks to the beach. In recent years, I have taken care of my friends dogs Archie and baby while they’ve been on vacation and have also lived with two cats. I work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available mid day to go on walks and can be accommodating to your pets needs for shorter or longer walks. I live with a cat so my home is set up for cats. I have a litter box and non toxic plants in the home

“Liz was a gem in taking care of Roscoe who is a 14yr old Cocker with cataracts & is hard of hearing. I left a long list of his health needs while I was gone. Liz was capable & responsible in doing all of them. She also left my house neat & orderly.”


“If I could give 10 stars I would! Not only did Kelcya and Elizabeth take fantastic care of our baby and kept us updated - they left an amazing snippet of Sookie’s behavior while we were gone. Already booking with them again!”


“Joel looked after Loki for two weeks at our home. Loki is not the easiest dog to look after as he can't be left home alone yet. Joel did a sterling job caring for Loki, taking him for walks to places we haven't been! Loki had some real adventures. Loki loves Joel, we are grateful to have found him. Would highly recommend Joel for your house/pet sitting needs!”


“Christina is a gem! She treated my dogs as if they were her own. My husband and I were out of town for the weekend so we had Christina stay at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent me daily pictures and videos treated our home with respect. I highly recommend Christina and we will definitely use her again”


About: I have had a golden retriever growing up and in 2020 adopted 2 lab puppies. I have a lot of experience with playing, walking, feeding, and just being around animals. Pet care will fit into my daily routine because I have quite a bit of free time that I would like to spend with animals! I care for my pets by walking, feeding, playing, and hanging out with them daily. I make sure to give them attention and a lot of pets!

About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was a child and have cared for dogs outside of my family for a little over 5 years. I love being able to learn the different personalities of each dog I come across. I also have professional work experience at a dog boarding company for a little over a year. I know how to handle dogs of all shapes and sizes and temperament ranges. I own my own dog, Obie, so I am always caring. I am open most days of the week excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have class. I am available mornings though on those days. I am well versed in adapting to the dogs specific environments it’s comfortable in, matching its energy level and always being comforting and loving no matter what.

“Kayla was great with Milo and he was comfortable with her immediately. She kept us informed with how he was doing we could tell she would make him feel relaxed while we were gone all evening.”
