“Danielle was fantastic, very trustworthy and responsible, communicative and friendly. She took great care of our dogs and our home and I would definitely book her again!”

“She did a great job with our dog Linguine! She provided a calm atmosphere and was on time. She followed all instructions perfectly! Would definitely recommend if anyone is looking for a dog sitter!”

“Luis is kind, clean and provided plenty of pictures and updates of my two pups while I was away. He kept the house in great condition and my dogs seemed relaxed upon my return. My travel plans were interrupted and he offered to extend his services if I needed them which was a huge relief.”

“Cary did an outstanding job taking care of our house and our energetic Cattle Dog! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring and responsible dog sitter!”

“Victoria is AMAZING! We have a mini Bernedoodle who hates when we travel due to separation anxiety. Victoria made fast friends with Buffalo and sent caring, detailed updates while housesitting. Will be rebooking!”

“Nataliya has been wonderful for our family while we are visiting the San Diego area on vacation. She has been willing to take Ember so that we can do some activities that puppies can’t join. She took Ember out to the beach to explore, and was fantastic with her specific needs (avoiding overstimulation, managing some bits of training that are still ongoing because she is a puppy). We really appreciate that Nataliya was available without tons of notice, and that she was able to watch Ember 1:1 because even though our pup loves playing with other dogs, she gets really anxious initially. For one-off engagements, it seemed more distress than it would be worth to go through introductions to other dogs. Thank you for Ember’s good day out and the help, Nataliya!”

“Beckie stayed with our dog and 2 cats multiple times and, like always, she took a great care of them while we were on our most recent vacation. Even though our puppy has some resource guarding issues and there are rules that need to be followed with him we are always sure that he is in good hands while we are away. She is always responsive to our questions or concerns, and we know we can rely on her if our pets need anything. When we got back our house was in order and, most importantly, our pets were healthy and happy.”

“Shirlene was absolutely wonderful with Barnaby! She was incredibly responsive, sent regular photo updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Barnaby looked so happy and well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Marie was excellent with Lucy. She was prompt upon arrival and took her time getting acquainted. She was thoughtful in her communication throughout her time with Lucy. And as a bonus Marie is a talented photographer sending print-worthy photos often throughout her stay. She paid careful attention to my homemade feeding instructions. Leaving Lucy with Marie gave me ease of mind knowing she was in caring and experienced hands.”

“While I was away on my golf playing rounds, Eli looked after my dog wonderfully. Eli is such a kind and caring dog sitter. He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!”

“Patrick was FANTASTIC with our blind, diabetic foster pup Karma. He spent over an hour getting to know us and our Karma prior to the booking and immediately made us feel at ease with his knowledge and extensive experience taking care of animals. We were concerned about finding a dog sitter who felt comfortable administering daily insulin injections, particularly as Karma had recently grown less tolerant of needles, but Patrick had prior experience and ultimately no issue giving the shots as instructed over the care period. He spent so much quality time with Karma - tons of cuddles and walks! - and sent wonderful photos and updates on her day with frequency. Patrick made our first experience with Rover incredibly easy. He knows what he’s doing and knows what questions to ask/how to set expectations with owners. THANK YOU Patrick for all you’ve done for us!”

“Sarah, as always, was an amazing sitter. We were out of the country for almost two weeks and I can’t think of anyone else I’d trust to not only care for our two dogs, our garden, and our home. She is super responsive and takes care of our pets as if they were her own- thank you for loving our dogs as much as we do!!”

“Brandi was great! She stayed in our home with our two pups, Cooper and Scout. She let me know when she arrived and kept me updated with photos and videos. She also cleaned up after them and took care of our home. We will definitely reach out to Brandi again the next time we plan a trip.”

About: As a Navy veteran who worked with service and therapy dogs, I bring discipline, compassion, and genuine love. Caring for pets heals us both which is a win-win situation! I'm a MBA student currently at Marquette University’s online program. I’ll be transferring to PLNU’s in-person program in the spring so I have a very flexible calendar at this time of the year. I would feed them according to their dietary requirements, provide fresh water at all times, and maintain a clean-living environment by regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, or bedding. I would ensure they receive regular exercise and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety is a priority, so I would monitor their surroundings, prevent access to harmful items, and follow any owner-specific rules or routines. Additionally, I would give pets love and attention, observe their health for any signs of illness, and communicate appropriately with the owner if concerns arise. This approach ensures pets are healthy, happy, and comfortable in both my home and a client's home.

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs ranging from chihuahua to boxer to Doberman and have enjoyed them all! I'm very active so don't mind taking pets for long walks or even jogs if appropriate! I work full time at a botanic garden but my 8hours a day are somewhat flexible. I generally start work early in the morning 7/7:30 and end around 3:30/4pm. I can care for pets around this schedule and all day on weekends. I am a very gentle person and will make sure that your pets are safe and receive the enrichment needed for them to thrive in your absence!
“Marianna did a great job with my 2 dogs and cat! She was very responsive and sent me pictures and updates. House also looked great when we returned. I would use her again anytime to watch my pets.”

“Gregory was amazing during his stay with our Frenchie! He took him on walks and little adventures and we’ve never come home from a week long trip to a more happy and healthy doggo!”
