Lauren and her husband were amazing! My husband and I boarded our 7 month old puppy, Cruz, while we were on a 10 day vacation. We were nervous to be away from him for such a long time. Our nerves were quickly relieved when we started receiving photos and videos of Cruz. We received a photo or video of Cruz everyday having so much fun with the other dogs! Cruz had a blast and loved being with Lauren and her husband. We have already booked Cruz’s next stay with Lauren :)

It started out as a week stay with Bernadette, but I had an emergency and needed to extend a week, then I needed to go in for an emergency surgery- so I needed her help for another week. Three weeks from the day I dropped off my doggie and She helped me with something that could have been extremely difficult. I am so grateful for Bernadette. She is an animal person and it shows. Thank you so much and Happy New Year.

About: I've always had a dog. I had dogs growing up, I adopted a dog when I moved out on my own, and I adopted another dog when my children were old enough. Dogs are an important and special part of the family. I enjoy giving them attention, taking them for walks, brushing them, and of course, cuddling with them. I am observant of their communication styles, and use my observation skills to make sure I attend to their needs and keep them happy. I lost my special girl recently, and this is the first time in a while I am without my own dog. I would love to help you care for your dog while I decide whether to adopt again. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to go for walks and give potty breaks almost anytime day and evening. I live in a townhouse that does not have a fenced yard. However, I used to take my dog for several walks per day for both exercise and potty breaks. Dogs are welcome in any part of the house, or can be restricted to downstairs, depending on their needs. I am happy to visit your pet in your home to offer a potty break, take for a walk, or just give some attention.

Heather was fantastic with my furry baby. I got daily updates and pictures and she even had an extra security vest for him during July 4th fireworks. Highly recommend.

Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .

About: I know how much your pet means to you, because I’ve been there. I grew up with family dogs and later had an incredibly well-trained, super special dog of my own, Sug, for 9 years who was truly my best friend. Training, structure, and love were part of our everyday life, not just “extras.” Because of that experience, I’m very tuned in to pets’ body language, routines, and individual personalities. I’m patient, consistent, and genuinely enjoy reinforcing good habits while still making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s calm companionship, playtime, or sticking closely to your pet’s routine, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can expect lots of attention, care, and respect for the bond you have with your pet because I know how important that trust is. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work Monday–Friday, 9–5, but I’m able to come home during lunch for potty breaks, walks, and check-ins. Mornings, evenings, and nights are fully dedicated to your pet, so they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection outside of work hours. I also generally love to walk and hike in my free time. I’m great with routines and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday break, structured walks, or calm companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their needs and keep you updated along the way. 🐾 I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any training or household rules before care begins. In my home or yours, pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with consistent potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I’m attentive to behavior cues and use positive reinforcement to maintain good habits and structure. Having trained and cared for my own dog for 9 years, I’m very comfortable with reinforcing training and providing calm, confident care. I make sure pets are never rushed and always feel secure, whether that means active play, quiet companionship, or sticking to a specific feeding and walking schedule. I’m also happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.

Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!

I can’t say enough how wonderful it is to leave my little best friend with Debbie. She’s just so reliable, relaxing to be with and truly loves her fur visitors with her heart. I actually was a little jealous that fluff got to be the one hanging out with her and not me! Ha Ha! Definitely a safe, secure and nurturing environment for YOU and your loved one. 🐶
