Dog Walking in Paradise

“Thank you, Alisa, for taking gentle care of Inyo while I was away. Alisa was very kind and vigilant with my aggressive senior pittie. Thanks!”

“Kai loves animals of all kinds and has much experience caring for them. He has taken care of my dog on several occasions when I had to be out of town, and also took good care of kittens for me once as well. He can work with animals with all sorts of needs, and I've never seen an animal that didn't like Kai. He tends to get along with all of them.”

“Lauren watches our sweet Doodle every week and she is amazing! Always reliable and great with him to the point I think he’s more excited when he sees here compared to me haha. I think she would work well for anyone.”

“Jacinda has been watching my dogs for the last 5-6 years now and is amazing. They absolutely LOVE her - I always say “your best friend is here!” and they know exactly who it is and get so excited. She cares for them like they are her own and I’m also reassured when she’s with them. It’s always hard to leave your doggos but when I do, knowing she’s there is an immediate comfort!”

“Ted went on his walk. We came home the following morning and it is clear he was well taken care of!”

“My pup can be very shy with people but with Alysa he took to her right away, her easy going , loving personality made him fall in love with her. The care and responsibility she puts into taking care of him while in her care is excellent. As a dog mom he is my upmost priority and he has expressed in lots of tail wags & excited cries how eager he is to get to spend time with Alysa! Definitely my go to sitter/ walker/ babysitter/ love giving when I’m busy. Alysa is absolutely a pleasure to have, thank you for the care & love you put into your time with my little pup!”

“Sofia has been great from the get-go! She responds quickly to requests, communicates well about her schedule, and is always on time. On top of that, she is very kind and caring with Gretel and Gretel’s humans. I can’t say enough good things about Sofia!”

About: I specialize in providing quality care for cats, dogs, rodents, and reptiles/amphibians. I have extensive experience caring for animals from all walks of life (pun intended), from senior pets who require some extra special attention to the many creatures that typically go unappreciated (especially those of the scaly or slimy variety). I'm not afraid to get down and dirty with pets and have endless patience and understanding when it comes to accidents, behavioral issues, or any of the other less glamorous aspects of pet ownership. I have over a decade of experience with dog, cat, and reptile caretaking, some experience with rodent and bird caretaking, and I am always willing to learn more so I may satisfy your pet needs to a T. I think of and treat pets like the family they are and am dedicated to ensuring and promoting their wellbeing; night or day, rain or shine, I will be there for you and your pets. My schedule is pretty open, I can work any day of the week but I do have a Zoom call I must attend every Monday from 7-9:30pm (this only affects drop-ins). My availability for daycare drop-offs, drop-ins, and all-day sitting (non-overnight) is 8:00 a.m. to midnight. For overnight services any start or end time is acceptable. (For pet sitting at your home on weekdays) I do have a dog of my own so I do have to pop in and take him for a walk once a day while my boyfriend is at school, or take him with me to your home (if that is what you prefer instead). For boarding (currently unavailable) any time is acceptable for drop-off and pick-up. Same-day booking is available and I am free on most holidays. Currently I cannot stay overnight but can sit all day at your home multiple days in a row (I just need to go home to sleep). I provide undivided attention to pets and specialized care according to your instructions. My own dog is small, calm, and well-behaved so he is not to worry about when interacting with your pet in my home during boarding or if you want me to bring him to hang out with your pet during sitting. For boarding: My apartment has a lot of nice landscaping and grassy areas for dogs to play (on or off leash -- you decide) and your dog would get plenty of exercise if that is what you request. I have no qualms about dogs on furniture so if your baby is a couch potato he is more than welcome. I do ask you bring your own leashes, food bowls, and food for your dog for boarding. For sitting you can trust me to be prudent, responsible, caring, and dedicated to your pet's wellbeing, as well as respectful of your home's interior and exterior. I can bathe short-hair and medium-hair dogs up to 30 lbs as long as you have a detachable shower wand and your dog is not allergic to the chemicals in dog shampoo. Pricing depends on the size of your dog and extent of services requested. ≤10lbs = $10; >10lbs = $1 per pound (15lbs = $15 and so on).

“I have known Casey for several years, and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged companion. Whether it be a jack russell to a malamute, she has always been the first to advocate for the our furry friends in terms of their care, well-being and attention. She genuinely enjoys caring for them. She has demonstrated to all who have had the delight of her services, her reliability, consistency, professionalism and talents when it comes to caring”

About: I have taken care of fur babies since I was a child. I am currently 55 years old, so a very long time! I lived on a ranch for a good portion of my life with all types of animals, from kittens and puppies, to cattle and horses. I have fostered litters of kittens for roughly 10 years. No pet is too complicated for me! (Except maybe snakes) My schedule is kept open for pet care. It helps me stay motivated when I get to play catch with and love on the kitties and doggies I have a fenced in large backyard with no holes. I do have two pet friendly dogs and two pet friendly cats in my home and they are all great with other animals. I believe that it is important to respect other people’s homes and care for their pets as if they were my own. Pets are not only companions, they are family members.

“Jessica has been an animal lover for as long as I’ve known her. She watches my dog when I go out of town occasionally & is always jumping for joy when she gets to pet-sit. She was our bosses first choice to pet sit back in the day, and I understand why :) I would definitely recommend boarding with Jess!”

“Sadie is hands down the best! She has watched my dog and cat on several occasions and never fails to keep me fully updated on how they’re doing. She is thoughtful and friendly and my furbabes love her! 12/10 highly recommend!”

About: I love cats, dogs, chickens, gerbils, and everything in between! Cats and dogs are my specialty. Let me know when, where and how you would like for me to take care of your pet(s) and I will make sure that it is done! I am currently working as a part-time nanny so I am able to take care/play with your pets anywhere before or after. Let me know where, when, or what they enjoy the most! The environment in my home is very safe and inclusive. I have a large grass yard in front and throughout the entirety of where I live and I plan to play with your friendly companion! I know a lot of the local hikes, trails, and pet-friendly playgrounds that I would be more than happy to accompany your pet.

“Kena was great! Definitely would work with her again!”

“Keryn has grown up with dogs all of her life. She is very energetic and loves the outdoors. Keryn has watched both of my dogs multiple times and it is apparent that she has a passion for caring for your fur babies. She has even fostered puppies from the local dog shelter! I have and will continue to recommend Keryn to anyone looking for help with their dog! She is fantastic!”

“Reoccurring use of Lily services because she is dependable, helpful and extraordinarily pleasant.”

“Giovanna did an excellent job caring for my dog, Brooks. She was in constant communication with me and I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She followed all of my instructions about the care of my dog. He was clean and happy when I picked him up! I would recommend Giovanna and I will definitely be using her again!!”

“Sarah was many years of experience working and caring for dogs and cats thru our family business. She is a very responsible, and reliable individual. One you can fully trust to take care of your beloved pets.”

About: I've looked after pets of all kinds including, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens and ducks to name a few. I have a good 7.5 years of experience under my belt and I have a high attention to detail to make sure that your fuzzy member of the family is getting top quality care. I am available Saturday through Tuesday, as those are my current days off. A typical day with your pet would include walks as many times a day as necessary, meals whenever they are typically had and plenty of play and relaxation throughout the day. If I have a meeting/appointment or need to leave the house for a bit, your pet won't be left alone for more than four hours. When I come to stay with your pet, I'll make it seem as though you never left. I'll do my absolute best to ensure they can continue their daily routines as they always do without skipping a beat. They will receive all the love and care I can muster, including snuggles and hugs a plenty. Making sure they are fed and clean so you can come home to a healthy pet.
