“Kathleen was great. She was very responsive before we dropped our pooch off, and then sent regular updates throughout the day. He was in a good mood when we picked him up at the end of the day.”
“We had such a great experience with Yenifer! Our dog, Rocky, absolutely enjoyed his stay—he came home happy and relaxed. Yenifer was incredibly kind and responsive, and even accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated.”
“Sandi was the absolute best dog sitter! Giddy was so excited to go to doggy daycare every day and was tuckered out by the time I picked him up. He loved spending time with Copa and getting to play outside often. He even got some healthy snacks! If I’m ever back in the area I will definitely we calling Sandi! Her whole family was lovely. We’ll miss y’all!”
“Cheyenne was amazing! We had a very last minute trip and Cheyenne was able to watch our pup the very next day. She was communicative and would recommend!”
“Jess took great care of my pup and sent me lots of pics and updates throughout the day! She has a sweet dog, and her dog and mine played together all day. Uva came home fed, healthy and tired! Thank you Jess!”
“Our two and a half-year-old, 70 plus pound Australian labradoodle had a great day with Stefanie and her four-year -old standard poodle. They happily played in the field and along the trail behind her house. Stefanie kept us updated with how our dog was doing with regular updates and photos. We could see from the moment we met her that she was quite experienced and comfortable with dog care. We will definitely schedule dog care with her in the future and highly recommend her to other dog loving families.”
“Thank you, Peter, for taking such good care of Minnie! She had a great time hiking and monitoring those rabbits and came home a tired and happy dog. She was in a beautiful and safe place and we will look forward to return visits.”
“Amanda was fabulous!! I’m so happy we found someone relatively last minute to look after our pup while out at a padres game/dinner (we’re from out of town). We would use her again if we were locals!!”
“Logan is a great pet sitter! He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and provides a home-like environment while allowing for space and downtime amongst the few other dogs he may have at that time.. He is accommodating to your pet's individual needs and personality which is comforting when you've got a dog that is slow to warm up! We've used him for daycare and plan to board with him as well! Thanks, Logan 🤗”
“Our Marcie came home nice and tired, and didn't seem stressed at all. Mikayla has other pets that are friendly and sociable, so we are of course happy to have our dog have the opportunity to play and socialize with them.”
“I’m so thankful I found Tetiana. I left my 5-month puppy for the first time with her and I could not be happier. She took care of her with love and so much warmth. I received many pictures thought the day. Thank you Tetiana!!!”
“Outstanding care - would recommend. She listened about temperament and his need to get out for a walk. Very fortunate to find a responsible dog sitter. Thank you”

About: My name is Jessica and I am a caring and fun person who has been caring for dogs since I was seven years old! Now I am 24 years old and do not have a dog anymore but still enjoy spending time with my friends pets and I dog sit for my neighbors. I am very active so I enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes. I live walking distance from a lake. If the dog I am taking care of feels comfortable in water then I will splash around with the dog in the lake (there are dirt roads in this area to walk the dog on too). I have had experience with a wide variety of breeds, so I feel pretty comfortable with any dog. I understand caring for a dog is similar to caring for a child. I am trustworthy and loving towards animals! I recently passed my board exam so now I am relaxing for some time & will begin my job hunt in February, 2022. Therefore, caring for a pet will fit perfectly into my current flexible daily routine. I do not live with any other pets & I create a safe environment by keeping the dog on the first level of my home only. On the first level I make sure that there are no hazards for the dog. In a client's home, I follow all of their reccomendations in order to keep the pet as comfortable & safe as possible.
“Such a warm and great babysitting place!”
