“Sharon and Albert were awesome! They took great care of my dog and sent pics every day. I really felt as though he was in great, safe hands while I was away. They have a nice, securely fenced yard with room and toys for the dogs to play. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Lisette was very kind and caring towards my dog Shasta during his one week stay and I highly recommend her. She has outstanding knowledge about Border Collies, provided clear communication throughout the week and I could tell that my dog wanted to stay longer when he was picked up.”
“Gina watched our Lou for a few days. She was amazing and gave Lou Lou lots of attention and walks. After we picked up Lou, she adjusted right back to home. Normally, after a kennel stay, she would have been out of sorts for days! I will definitely use Gina again in the future! Thanks again!”
“Sabrina was very warm and welcoming w us and our two dogs. Very knowledgeable and patient w the initial meet and greet which put me at ease immediately. Loved the communication during our “girls” stay. So appreciated the pics! Definitely will be returning and highly recommend. Thank you Sabrina ??♀️”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
“Sherryl was so great with my girl. She treated her like her own & gave her extra love for me because it was my first time leaving her long term. I got lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Can’t recommend her enough 😁”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing with our dog Milo while we were at a family camp in the area for a week that doesn’t accept dogs. We were a little nervous about it as Milo usually stays home with a friend when we are gone and he tends to get anxious without us, but she and her family were great about comforting him and making him feel at home. She sent lots of pictures and updates which really set us at ease. Thank you Crystal, we really appreciate you!”
About: I've worked as both a professional and independent dog walker, trainer and groomer for long time. I have fostered many animals and found them all loving homes. I've cared for and loved each and every animal that I have come into contact with and have received my degree as a veterinary assistant. I have a pup,cat,chickens,and quail of my own. It is my belief that pets are our family and should be treated with love and respect. My day consists of caring for my animals and my land so your animal will receive 24 hour companionship and whatever their needs my be weather that be just hanging out in the house or running around the yard I'm sure to make them happy and keep them healthy I have a playful well trained pup,an old cat and chickens and quail. A 1 acre fenced in yard and a river in my back yard if your pups like water to splash in
About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Sonora, so I generally travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets. When we walk, or I visit someplace I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. I am retired. Since I generally travel to your home and stay there with your pets, I enjoy the time of reading and visiting local attractions. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.
About: Willing to take care of most any dogs of all shapes and sizes, while watching your home. I love all animals but am most fond of dogs :) Although I grew up with cats, I am not generally a cat person unless they are super chill/nice. My grandparents owned a pet store in Alameda when I was younger called "The Living Picture" and I had to feed/water all the animals, so I do have the experience, but I'd say more recently it's just been dogs and the occasional cat. Just let me know what you have, and I'll let you know my comfort level. :) I am willing to travel outside of my area (Dorrington/Big Trees) for pet sitting but would like to keep dog walking and drop-ins to my general area of Big Trees/Arnold/Murphys. If you do not live in those areas, then it would be a 1 hour minimum for all walking & drop-in services. I'm currently available full-time for pet/house sitting so I will be able to give both your beloved animal(s) and your home my full attention (as long as I'm not booked)! I will keep my calendar up to date so you can rely on what it says. While pet/house sitting I will walk and play with your fur-baby(s) as much as they like or can handle. I will also send photos to you on a daily basis! I am willing to do other things like pick up dog poop in your yard (if that is where they go), bring in mail, water plants, etc. My rates are set for everyday animals and not 'special needs', so if your doggie or cat needs special attention or has behavioral issues then my rate would go up and reflect the amount of extra care or attention your fur baby requires.
“This was our first time using this type of service and we were extremely pleased with it and with Emily. We met with Emily and her husband before to make sure that Thumper and Rosy were going to be ok with each other, and to see if we felt comfortable as well. Emily took on our little dog Rosy, even though she said she hadn't had small dogs yet. And she did great! Kept us updated with text messages and pictures. It was obvious that Rosy loved it there and we made a reservation for a future date over the holidays. It's wonderful knowing that Rosy will be well cared for and feel loved over the holiday, since we are unable to bring her along.”
“Sara and her husband were awesome, they took care of my 2 husky’s. They came home very happy, thank you it made my trip easier to know my dogs were happy. I didn’t think I needed updates but they sent me updates and it made all the difference. Linda”
“Amazing! Ericka was was very caring, professional and responsive. My dogs came home clean , happy and more calm and well behaved than before they went to Ericka's place. I have had experience with dog groomers in different parts of the country for over 20 years (we have always had canine pets). This was the best experience yet. I am very picky when it comes to my "babies", so I don't give praise lightly.”
“Christina was wonderful with our puppies. We planned last minute trip and she was available and very accommodating. Sent lots of updates and photos/videos of our puppies! Has a great place for the dogs to run and get out their energy. Our dogs came home super happy and super tired from the fun weekend they had. You can tell that Christina loves animals! She took great care of our two large dogs while we were away. Would happily send our dogs back to Christina’s next time we leave town.”

Teresa H.
“Teresa is a kind person who is so trustworthy and responsible. Bogey loved her. She keeps the house so neat and doesn't leave your dog alone very long. Bogey got a daily walk, fed well, got his meds and even was comfortable enough to sleep on the bed with her!”
