“Thank goodness for Gina! Our pup loves her time with her and we can rest easy knowing she’s so well taken care of. She’s always been communicative and flexible with our timeline should changes come up, too.”


“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!!!”


“Stacey was so kind & communicative. She & her parents have other dogs at the house, but we were thankful we had the chance to make sure everyone got along alright before we left our dog. When we arrived, she had posted a cute sign on the gate welcoming our dog, Max. There was another sign for him when we picked him up. Such a cute touch! We would highly recommend Stacey!”


“Crystal was absolutely amazing with our dog Milo while we were at a family camp in the area for a week that doesn’t accept dogs. We were a little nervous about it as Milo usually stays home with a friend when we are gone and he tends to get anxious without us, but she and her family were great about comforting him and making him feel at home. She sent lots of pictures and updates which really set us at ease. Thank you Crystal, we really appreciate you!”


“Angie was great and showed love and care to our dog. The location is really close to one of the entrances of Yosemite. It was awesome to be able to hike and explore Yosemite and know our dog was in good hands. We would bring him back for future trips. Thank you Angie!”


“We visited the Santa Cruz area for an overnight with our kids and the hotel didn't allow dogs. This was our first time leaving Merry with someone new and Emily and Sean provided a very friendly and safe space for her for the night. We liked their responsiveness and genuine caring for our dog. Emily kept us updated throughout the day with texts and photos, which was helpful in letting us know she was happy in our absence. I would definitely use their services any time we visit the area!”



“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: 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.

“Linda was very welcoming and you can tell she really loves taking care of animals. She has a beautiful property, took our dog on many walks every day, and sent lots of pictures. She will definitely be our #1 when we’re in that area!”


“Chris was great! I needed someone in the area to watch my Sandy for the weekend. Chris provided regular updates and Sandy seemed to really enjoy herself and got along well with Chris’s dogs”


“It was my first time leaving my little girl, and I was Worried something terrible. Lisette could Not have been more understanding and reassuring and Sent a photo of my relaxed pup. She took wonderful Care, and baby was so happy with Lisette. I will Definitely use her again. Thank you.”


About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“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 ?”



About: Your dog's favorite activities and indulgences will be paramount when in my fun-loving care. Your dog will feel happy, playful, relaxed and will be like family in his/her home or home away from home. Upon meeting me at your home, my home or a neutral site, you will easily sense that I'm a genuinely good, decent man, a loving "dog person" and that I'll treat your dog with the attentive love I treat my own dog. I know from experience, that gaining a loving and reliable sitter is hard to find and provides peace-of-mind security. Your dog will enjoy his/her/their time with me and will be safe with me. Walks, exhausting activities and belly rubs INCLUDED! Text messages with video and photos of your dog and live webcam INCLUDED! Please contact me so we may schedule a meet and greet. I work full time from my home office, so your pup will enjoy lasting attention. I work a part-time gig that takes me away from home for a few hours per week. If pets are introduced into my home, I gently take lead and show the dogs how to be comfortable and adjust. If I am introduced into a pets' home, we allow a meet and greet specific to your dogs' needs. Then, we tour your home so that you may convey instructions.

About: We have a relaxed, clean and comfortable environment with fenced yard. We have two 7 yo Terriers, one who is extremely friendly , The other takes a few minutes to warm up to new people and other dogs. We also have 2 baby goats and 1 caged Guinea pig. I'm available most days and some evenings as well. I prefer medium to small dogs ( who aren’t constant barkers) And wouldn't be comfortable with a Pitt Bull. Please bring a bed, familiar blanket/toy and food. I also request no extremely dirty or muddy pets please and nails kept at an appropriate length since we do have mostly hardwood flooring. Thank you and hope to see you soon! We are up early. The dogs are free to roam around the house and our large back yard. We love to snuggle on the couch or run around outside. Our little guys follows us everywhere Your pet will get a lot of affection, comfort and snuggles. We have toys and extra food bowls. Please bring a bed, familiar blanket/toy and food. I also request no extremely dirty or muddy pets please and nails kept at an appropriate length since we do have mostly hardwood flooring.

“Gabrielle took such amazing care of my pup! He loves spending time with her, and she treats him as her own, even getting him a new toy and treats! He loves being able to hang out with her, and is excited every time he sees her!”


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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I currently have a 3 year old beagle named Stan who loves to be outside. I have had several dogs with different energy levels - from a crazy Jack Russell to a super sweet golden retriever. I am very patient and most of my dogs have been rescues. Stan came from an animal testing facility & had never been outside or touched grass when I rescued him. I work remotely from home with a really flexible schedule. I live on 3 acres with my beagle, Stan. I’m very active & love to hike. Stan loves other friendly dogs and would be a great buddy for your dog. We love to snuggle up and takes lots of walks. I do have a crate here at my house if that is needed.

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.”


Melanie C.
“Melanie is the most energetic, compassionate and loving person with pets and children. I have 6 pets and Melanie has stayed with them more than once and they are not easy! Hiring Mel will be a gift to your dog, and to Mel, as she loves to be outdoors and genuinely enjoys the company of your pet.”
