“My dog always has a blast at Daryle’s house. When he realizes we’re taking him to her house he gets so excited he can’t stop wiggling around in the back seat. It’s really reassuring to see how my dog just absolutely loves the whole family.”

“Erica quickly bonded with my dogs (3) and has provided excellent care. She is very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. Her rates are very reasonable, and she provides exceptional service. I was in a serious pinch. Erica was so quick to except my request. I’m glad with how everything worked out.”

“David, Jeanette & family took such great care of our dog during our trip. They were consistent, loving and caring and have a great environment for dogs at their home. Thank you!”

“Great service! Really appreciative of Cecilia & the time she took to send pictures/videos day to day of our dog. She also let us know what time she was fed & walked. Definitely recommend :)”

“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dog chip. They took him in tons of walks, went to the park, and gave him lots of love. They treated him as if he were their own. He LOVED Their dog turbo! They got along wonderfully. They sent picture updates multiple times a day which made us feel so comforted. We HIGHLY recommend!”

“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”

“Could not have asked for a better experience! My pup (Ace) is an extremely anxious guy but upon meeting Leigh I could see she had such a warm, calm personality and that he would be in great hands. She sent me pictures and messages daily which I really appreciated. Leigh is extremely flexible with drop off/pick up times. She has a lovely home with a large outside area that Ace could safely explore. It was so nice to take a vacation knowing that Ace was being cared for by someone that truly loves dogs. I will be using Leigh for all future trips. Book her now!!”

“Doug and Marisol have taken good care of my two dogs twice now for several days at a time. They were warm and caring, and my girls (dogs) seemed to have had a great time. Doug and Marisol are great about sending pictures, videos, and updates, and I appreciate knowing that my babies are being well cared for.”

“We had a great experience with Jennifer. She was respectful to our wishes and a great caretaker for our furry pup. This was our first outing with our pup staying with someone else and she kept us well updated with photos and info. Will definitely use again.”

“Kevin was a great host throughout our dog’s stay with him. Our dog seemed to have a wonderful time He sent photos, and answered promptly. 10/10, definitely would recommend and book again.”


“Brooke and Steve were amazing with our golden retriever, Django. They treated him as their own, provided an abundance of TLC, daily walks, etc. I would recommend this couple to anyone. Brooke provided daily updates along with photos to assure us everything was going great. We will definitely utilize their pet care again. Thank you both so much! Lori & Steve”
“Tricia and her family were excellent. We had some last minute changes to our travel plans and our normal Rover sitters were not available. Tricia was a recommendation from one of my regular sitters and it worked out great. We had our meet and greet prior to the stay and Tally got along just fine with her dogs. During her stay, Tally got lots of attention from her kids including walks, hikes, and trips to the beach. Tricia even gave Tally a bath the night before we picked her up. I also received numerous photos during the stay. It was a great experience and I didn't worry about the care Tally was getting at all and I would highly recommend Tricia and her family.”

“Acausha did an amazing job caring for our two little pups. I was so worried about leaving them fur eight days but I didn’t need to be. Acausha was very patient with our nervous older dog and did a great job with our energetic younger dog. She even sent pictures regularly throughout our trip. I highly recommend Acausha!”

“Awe you won’t be disappointed if you allow Danielle to watch your fur baby. She was super accommodating and flexible when it came to me needing her to watch my pup at the last minute. Louis had so much fun and she sent a ton of pics. Louis was actually sad when he came home the first day because he missed his new friends he had made with her dogs. I would definitely rebook Danielle again :)”

“Sam is the beat. My Teddy was well taken care of to the poibt he wanted to stay back when i went to pick him. She is very communicate and did an amazing job. I already rebooked her for a longterm stay with teddy. My pup was very happy and can tell she spoled him and tokk care if him in the right way!!”

“Amanda was amazing! We loved getting the daily pictures and updates from her. It was great to know that our furbaby was being loved on and cared for so well. We will definitely be using her again for future stays!”

“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”

About: I have had all sized animals in my life for the majority of it. I was in 4-h as a child and have had several Saint Bernards, as well as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Border Collies, and many cats. In the past 3 years I have helped my clients train over 125 dogs if various ages and do direct work with dogs that require instinctual validation, especially for working dogs. I volunteer at HVOC in Escondido and assist with training in the Wednesday night puppy classes, so I am very used to interpreting dynamics from dogs and setting clear and healthy boundaries for them that will benefit them as they grow up. I am very competent at taking care of large groups of dogs, I am verg commonly taking care of 8+ dogs, so anything less than that will be a walk in the park for me. I mostly work online when I am not caring for a client's pet, so I generally have plenty of time to spare for walks or whatever you may need. For some reason, I have been told that it looks like I am not available to be booked, please ask! I am competent in taking care of animal's special or complicated diets and cleaning after them if needed. I encourage any insight/direction on any needs for your animal as well. (Treat schedule, walking, washing, whatever they need) I am very tidy and will leave your house spotless.
“Jane took such good care of our puppy while we were on vacation! We got regular updates with pictures and didn't have to stress because we knew our little guy was very well taken care of!”
