“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”
“Gina was great in taking care of my puppy during a heatwave with temperatures of 110! She provided frequent early morning walks , playtimes. Maddy and I were very comfortable with her care.Thanks! Mary”
“Sabrina was GREAT! She took wonderful care of my puppy and older dog. My puppy was nervous and she handled it so well. Made them feel so comfortable and was sure to give my puppy all the extra love and care she needed. She sent a ton of pictures, videos and updates, which made me feel really good about them not being with me. I would 10/10 recommend Sabrina and will definitely call her when the need arises for doggy care again!!! THANK YOU, Sabrina!!!”
“Sharon and her husband took great care of Cooper while we were away. Their house and yard are well equipped for the task, and they had several friends for Cooper to play with! We received frequent photo updates from them, and Cooper was having fun in all of them. They took him on walks and ensured he got plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend Sharon for anyone looking for a good ‘Home away from home’ for their pup!”
“Linda was Awesome! She took very good care of my guy Rocco. She also has her Neice staying with her & her Neice loves taking the dogs for walks so my guy was simply in Heaven. I will definitely use Linda again & have all ready recommended her to 2 other friends.”
“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!”
“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 😁”
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.
“Sara provided everything we were looking for . . . and more. We needed a place that would take just one dog at a time, as our Maggie has had some anxiety issues with too many dogs around. Sara was willing to do that, and it worked out great. Her property is perfect for Maggie, her own dog is just what Maggie needed. Sara took Maggie for many walks, let her go in the pond, and even bathed and brushed her before we picked her up. Treated her like her own dog and like the spoiled princess she is at home. Maggie came home happy, and probably a little miffed that we haven't taken her for three walks today!”
“Our dogs had an excellent time staying at Crystal’s home. They got along well with her dogs and children. They got to play fetch and were really worn out when they came home. We would definitely have her pet sit them again!”
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: 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.
“Emily and Thumper were such great hosts! Emily is an excellent communicator and our pup loved her and Sean. Our somewhat awkward and sensitive pup was so happy to hang with them we had no concerns leaving him. We were just looking for a responsible caretaker and we got that plus new doggy friends. We will definitely be seeing more of Emily and Thumper.”
“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.”
“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”

Teresa H.
“Teresa genuinely likes animals and they like her! Teresa is well educated so she communicates well, both in person, telephone or text and written. She follows instructions on feeding, walking, medication, etc. She is on-time, responsible and friendly. Teresa knows how to deal with different animal personalities and more complex medical issues. Teresa lived in my house and cared for animals in my house for nearly a month. The entire time the animals were well cared for, there was a high level of communication with me, and my house and garden where she lived were left perfectly cared for.”
