“Karaleah offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. We've been doing some short stays before my two weeks long trip this summer and I'm confident we'll do great. She has been patient with my scaredy cat who takes sometime to warm up to strangers. Karaleah is reliable and listens to requests and suggestions on how to tend to my cat needs.”
About: Animals aren’t just pets to me they’re family. With years of hands on experience caring for everything from high energy puppies to senior cats, I bring a deep sense of responsibility, patience, and love to every animal I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own, paying attention to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. As a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, I have the time, energy, and heart to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’m naturally active and love spending time outdoors, so your pet can look forward to fun filled days with lots of play, fresh air, and companionship. Whether it’s running around the yard, going for walks, or just cuddling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I care for animals in my home, located on a peaceful property in wine country with plenty of space to run, play, and explore. Whether they’re here for a short stay or extended visit, you can trust they’ll be treated like family.
About: I love all animals and would be so happy to take care of yours! I’m punctual and clean and organized! I will treat your pet like my own ❤️ I work remote and it’s super flexible! I can be available at a moments notice. I can stay over at your place while you travel or are at work. I can walk your dog, feed your kitty or spend the night so they are comfortable. I had a sheepdog that passed a few years ago - I miss being around animals! ❤️
“Don has been great with our 2 dogs. He has boarded them several times and lately has been dropping by our house for a couple hours when we’re out for many hours and taking the dogs for walks, swims, playtime and doing some training!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for everything from hamsters, to rescue puppies (helping them recover, rehome, and get their meds on time). I take pet routines seriously because I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone else. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to adapt to your pet's needs and routine. If anything ever changes, I'll communicate clearly and early because your peace of mind matters to me. My best friend has two mountain Bernese dogs, and whenever she travels, I’m the first person she calls. Her dogs know me, love me, and I know their routine, including meds and habits, like the back of my hand. I care for pets like they’re family, and I want them to feel comfortable and safe while their humans are away. That includes making sure your pet is okay with me, first and foremost. We can talk through any special instructions, quirks, or needs ahead of time. I want them to feel good in their space, and for you to feel confident while you’re away. I'm also mindful of instructions because I want your pet to feel at ease with me, so I take my cues from them. If they need time or have specific needs, I'll follow your guidance and adjust accordingly. If anything comes up we will talk it through in advance.

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”
About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs!
“Vanessa took great care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She sent updates and communicated as needed, including expressing concern that the house was too warm for our kitty. We also had an ant invasion while we were gone, but Vanessa took initiative to clean them up and put out our ant traps. I wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again!”

“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”

Melissa H.
“Melissa is a lover of dogs. Especially, the small breed. She has always been good to her pets in seeing they are well-fed and loved and all vaccinations up to par. In addition, I have known her to buy her pets sweaters in the winter so they are warm and cute. I have also known her to brush their teeth, take them to the vet dentistry, and to the parlor to have their nails clipped. If you are looking for someone to watch and care for your pet, they will be safe and well-cared for by Melissa H.”

Mark R.
“Mark is a vital part of our rescue dogs’ rehabilitation. He treats them all with kind regards and embraces our Fear Free protocol. The dogs always seem to have a great time with him. Big smiles and happy dogs are what we love to see. Another thing we really like is Mark’s follow up.
