“Our German shepherd was well taken care of while we were out of town for a long weekend. Natalia is very attentive to details, took dog on daily walks and sent great updates. We will definitely book again.”

“Ashley has been wonderful with Baxter. I have used her a couple of times now. The last time I dropped Baxter off, he didn't want to say goodbye to me. As much as it may have hurt my feelings, I know he was happy to stay with her. LOL”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs with senior care, which includes medications, and making food. Dogs both small and large. I currently work part time and am able to do dog walks when needed. I also can board dogs at my home and walk them before and after shifts. I have a fenced yard where dogs can room for a potty break. I have experience with senior dogs and am able to administer medication. I love all dogs and have experience with small, delicate dogs.

“Elizabeth watched our cat Jett while we were away. She was amazing! She sent us daily pictures and videos. Our cat quickly acclimated to her house and seemed very happy. She even took him for a walk in a pet stroller! She was flexible on drop off and pick up times. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Jovanny & Robyn were wonderful with my dog! They took time to meet with us beforehand, and to learn all they could about him before the stay. They took great care of him and when it was time to go, he was still giving them lots of attention. I appreciate the updates they sent me and I would definitely book with them again.”

“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”

A lot of pictures of my baby for update, which made me feel at peace cause I know Connie(my dog) is having a good time. I’m really thankful and will definitely contact him again when I’m around the area.”

“Holly treated my dog Friendo like a queen. We received multiple pictures and updates from her every day. Holly was very fast to respond and easy to communicate Holly was very accommodating to our needs and Friendos needs. We would love to use her again and again!”

I am truly in awe with the dedication, efforts, and attentiveness Beth and Sean exhibit. This was my first time leaving my puppy and I can confidently say that I did NOT worry about Delilah (my pup) a single moment that I was away. Sean and Beth are just phenomenal all the way around! Their consistent communication included pics and updates that really helped bring me peace of mind. They are super friendly and welcoming. They followed her routine to a T and ensured Delilah felt both comfy and safe was I was away. Saying goodbye to Sean and Beth at pick up was probably the hardest part about my trip for Delilah! She bonded so well with them so well and I can tell Delilah holds a special place in her heart for them. I will 1000% be a returning client!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Sean and Beth!! It was a privilege to have you guys look over Delilah while I was away!

Ashley is exceptional ! Our girl nala was well taken care of and kept me updated throughout the days . We loved receiving pictures of her and she took her to the dog park ! I love that she is flexible something came up for us and she was able to extend one more day :)

Lily is absolute the best! I left my two pups with her for 4 days and three nights. My pups and I had been mauled by dogs recently so the three of us needed extra love and attention and Lily provided that for us. I never had to worry about how my dogs were doing and they quickly acclimated to being with her. I received frequent photo, video and text updates that were very much appreciated. I would never hesitate to leave my dogs with Lily again.

Carolina was awesome!!! I was hesitate to leave Cisco since we never left him before with anyone. But he did great. Caroline sent pictures during the day while the family was in Disneyland . I definitely will have Caroline watch my Cisco again. Thank you Caroline!

200% recommend!!!! Alicyn and Alex are very reliable and nice people who understand what we need!! They always take great care for my introverted and sensitive pup, they treat him just like treating a friend’s kid! Of course my dog loves them, and their home, every time he fly to their home and give me the face after coming home. We have been looking for people who can take care of Enzo when we are not available for a long time, finally, we figured this out! Couldn’t appreciate Alicyn and Alex more:) love all the photos and updates during the stay

Yeting is the best!!! She is attentive and caring, communicating with texts, pictures and videos throughout the stay. You couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend her. My adolescent Mallinois can be a handful and she handles him beautifully. She makes it easy and worry free for concerned puppy parents.
