“Kendra was fabulous! She stayed with our senior dog and cat over Christmas weekend. Her communication was great - I received updates and pictures every day that we were gone. It was obvious she was comfortable and experienced with animals. We came home to two happy, relaxed animals who didn't even seem to notice that we had left them. Definitely recommend and definitely would book again.”

About: I have had 3 dogs in the past that I love dearly, I enjoy going on walks with them and I love playing as well. I am currently not working and just taking a summer art class for college. I am free almost every day of the week and any time. Having a fence yard, a good neighborhood to walk around and friendly pets would be great. A good schedule for the times and how much food to give them would be great as well
“Brianna is super sweet. She was in great communication with me while I was away and she was with my girls. She made sure she sent pictures and even a video! I was a little hesitant leaving the girls with a stranger but I know now they were in good hands!”
“I had a sitter cancel night before for I needed to leave the country and Ana immediately came in to save the day! She has been very patient with my fear aggressive healer and she’s probably the only other person he feels comfortable. Thank you for your help Ana!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of many different breeds and sizes. No crate unless you are strict on your dog sleeping in a crate. If so, will need to bring your dog’s own crate. Fully fenced & gated dog park on the property. I am also available for pick up & drop off services within the Walnut Creek Area. I work from home which allows me to spend quality time with each of the dogs I care for. This quality time allows the to understand the dogs temperament and personality, creating a peaceful and safe environment for them. I have an apartment with a gated dog park where dogs can play and run freely and safely. Safety is always the top priority for me and I would never expose a dog to danger.
“Tyler was responsive and managed to work well with our dogs even though they can be anxious and fearful of strangers. Tyler also seemed comfortable caring for a dog with a medical condition.”

My home is very welcoming to pets.

Ken C.
“Hi For the past 4 years that Kennedy has been the caregiver to my dog pinto he has been nothing but loving and respectful to pinto. Pinto has demonstrated his attachment he has towards Kennedy because of the following reasons: Kennedy always shows up ready to show him love and attention. Second off Kennedy feeds him on time takes him for walks to the park plays with him and most importantly shows him love as if pinto was his own dog! I know Kennedy and he can gain your trust in an instant and more importantly your dog’s trust also! So if I were to choose someone to take care of another dog if I had another one, I’m picking Kennedy as my dog caregiver such a great guy and respectful guy!”

Karly O.
“Karli used to babysit my children and my two dogs; a yorkshire terrier and a jack russel terrier. She was so friendly, energetic, patient and protective of my pets. She was only paid to watch my dogs at home and to walk them, but Karly would always go the extra mile: playing with them in the backyard, taking them to the park, feeding them and grooming them. She was kind enough to get them gifts on their birthdays. She was an excellent sitter with children and dogs.”
Luis M.
“Luis was great with all of my pets. He is very patient, caring and very friendly. He made me feel conformable leaving my fur babies in his care. Luis is the right man for the job.”
Valerie M.
“Valerie was kind enough to watch my very young puppies who were orphaned within a day of birth. They were only a few weeks old and were still being bottle fed. Valerie did not hesitate to help me with them when I needed the extra help or was going out of town. I knew they would be very well taken care of because I see how she is with her own pets. As a human being she is very dependable, punctual, and detail oriented. If and when ever I need someone to trust my pets with, I would not hesitate to call on her to watch them!”

“Patricia is great with dogs, she's patient and responsible and will follow the instructions as to how one would want there dog taken care of. Even without instructions she will take care of your dog as if it was hers. She would be the only one I would trust with my dog. My dog is always very hyper and most people don't want to be his sitter due to that, but Patricia didn't turn him down she was patient and now my dog loves her.”
Leo L.
“Leo is an animal lover through and through. He’s very passionate about animals and taking care of them be it health wise or emotionally. He is very respectful and responsible.
