“5-star stay for the Pups, Giannina is so kind and warm. Her home has an excellent set-up to host, including a large fenced in yard. She is an communication pro and we could not have been happier with her frequent updates. Our dogs were well cared for, and we could tell they had a great time with Giannina. Two thumbs up as high as they go!”

“We were very pleased with the way Shirley took care of our dog Luna. Luna was a little nervous being with a new family but Shirley made her feel very comfortable and had patience with her. We were kept up to date daily on our dog's activities and she was very kind to our dog and Luna had a great and safe time there. Her home was very clean and safe. I would not hesitate to contact Shirley again to care for our dog. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for caring for our dog Shirley.”

“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”
“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”
“We highly recommend Shawne. She was responsive to all of our inquiries, and she kept us informed with daily updates and pictures. Our dog, Jak, seemed calm and happy in her care, which says a lot because he's a bit of a nervous nellie in unfamiliar settings. We would confidently utilize Shawne's sitting services again in the future.”
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“I'm so happy I choose to leave my dog with Patty. He was taken care of and I was updated on how he was doing. I definitely felt better being away knowing she was caring for him and not leaving him unattended all night like some places.”
“Where do I begin? From the first interaction Rick and Christina were wonderful. We had a meet up in advance since our Ellie has not been around many other dogs without us so we wanted to make sure everything was ok. They have a great fenced in backyard. They sent tons of pictures of her playing with their dog Roscoe and on walks. On our last day of the trip I got food poisoning and we had to change our flight. They were happy to keep her longer if needed. She had such a good time I think she might be a little disappointed to be home! We will definitely use them again. Highly highly recommend.”
“Another few days filled with fun and care. Such a relief knowing our pup was well cared for and having fun. The pictures filled with smiles said it all. Excellent communication. We have our new Rover!”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family growing up and have plenty experience with dogs and cats. I’ve also successfully potty trained all pets I’ve ever owned before the age of 1. My work schedule is pretty open at this time. Please reach out if you are needing a morning sitter or weekend sitter and I’d be happy to help! I have two very well behaved cats that keep to themselves and we have a yard for all your pets playing and potty time needs
“I returned to a very happy dog after a stay with Jesus. Jesus was very easy to work with, and anytime I need a sitter, I’ll be calling Jesus for sure! From the beginning, Jesus was very responsive. I could tell from our first interaction that he loved animals, and my baby would be safe with him. As it was my first time using a sitter, I was so pleased that Jesus keep me so updated throughout her stay. He sent me pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend Jesus for your dog sitting needs!”
About: I've grown up living with dogs and have unofficially trained all dogs I've lived with my whole life. I do pretty well getting along with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I cannot do overnights on Sunday because of work. Depending on your location I could potentially do walking or pick ups earlier than that. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
