“Emily did such a great job helping us feel more comfortable with leaving our dog Gamora at daycare. She has never stayed with a stranger before just close family. I think Gamora really enjoyed her stay with Emily, she got to play with some new friends and came home tired and content. We are very grateful to find someone we can trust to watch our baby (Gamora🐶).”


“Samantha has been so sweet and loving to my girl, Bella ? I especially enjoy and appreciate the pictures and updates she gives throughout the day. 10/10 recommend.”


“Very responsive and kind. My dog is super nervous/anxious at first, but he warmed up to her quickly! He seemed like he had a lot of fun with her too!”


“Our previous sitter told me they are moving, which prompted me to search for a new sitter. I decided to try Rebecca, and am I glad I did! I was happy with our first sitter, but LuLu spent her time there just sniffing their yard and snuggling up on the couch with the sitter. She barely ate and wouldn't play with their dog. It was such a delight to see how happy LuLu was at Rebecca's place. She ran around the yard like I haven't seen her do since she was a puppy. When Rebecca thought LuLu needed a rest and brought her inside, LuLu whined to go back out, so out she went for more running around! Finally, she took a nap on the couch, then got up and ate all of her dinner. Then she settled down chewing on her toy until we came back for her. She was happy to see us, but gave Rebecca a tail wag when they said goodbye. I'm so glad LuLu found a place where she can thrive when we're gone. Now I won't hesitate to book a vacation! Rebecca was very attentive to the history I gave her about LuLu and my instructions about her routine and fears. We did a Meet & Greet on short notice, and Rebecca showed LuLu and me her back yard and inside her house. She assured me that she would never give LuLu an opportunity to run away. The way Rebecca gave me updates all day long assured me that LuLu was being well cared for and was having a great time. Rebecca is definitely Lulu's new sitter. I couldn't be happier with her care.”


“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal and so kind! Our senior fur baby has a lot of extra needs, so we’ve always put date days aside to ensure we wouldn’t have to leave her home alone. From the first text interaction with Kimberly to meeting in person - we knew that we found someone we could trust! We got picture updates throughout the day, and each care instruction we provided was taken very serious. We will definitely be trusting Kimberly with our fur baby in the future. Thank you SO much!”


“Marah is the best dogsitter on this app. She will treat your dog like it's hers. My dog loves going to Marah's and she is always tired and happy when I pick her up. Marah is extremely friendly and makes sure that your dog is well taken care of. I never have to worry about my dog with her because she will have the best of care! I would give Marah a 10 out 5 if I could.”


“Melissa took great care of my Javi. I think he enjoyed himself thoroughly. He had her all to himself, which is preferred situation! Would definitely reccomend to anyone needing doggy daycare.”


“Josh is friendly and took great care of Hercules.”

“Jessica was recently hosting my energetic Russel Terrier for couple of day cares . I couldn’t be any happier how everything went. I really appreciated the swift responds from her when I reached out on such a short notice . Good communication is always the key . Jessica is such a lovely person .Lola was well taken care of and also got along well with Jessica’s dog a French bulldog . I would bring back Lola to her anytime knowing that my dog is staying in a dog lover’s home with a fun backyard to play on and comfy couches to rest on between times .”


About: I've had a 91 lb labradoodle from puppy to now for about 4 years. I've also been told that my cat adopted me about 1.5 years ago. My dog is a happy go lucky guy who's never met a person or animal he didn't like. My cat is about 15 years old and requires injectable medication twice a day, so nothing scares me when it comes to medication. I've taken care of the odd African Grey Parrot from time to time as well. I take my dog out every morning, lunch time and several times in the evening for walks and play. Our cat needs medicine twice a day that requires an injection so I'm well versed in providing medication and taking care of animals with special needs. There's a giant pop up blocking what this field is meant to say but it's saying I have to fill it in, perhaps I can update it later when the pop up is gone.

“Paula is great. Our little guy was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. She sent pictures and updates, which made it much easier for us! Thank you! Looking forward to our next visit!”


“Kaleb took great care of Presley while I went away for the day! I received pictures and videos throughout his stay, which was greatly appreciated! Presley had so much fun playing with Kaleb’s pups, he is worn out! Thank you for taking great care of my baby!!! We will be coming back!”


“Both Taylor and Jessica are super nice people and very accommodating. We used their services for our dog and they kept her for us while we were out of town. We would definitely use them again!”

“Mazie felt very comfortable with Heidi right away. We did a meet and greet a week prior to ease my nerves as well. I got an update part-way through her daycare visit and she was a happy pup when I returned. I plan to use Heidi again.”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since a very early age- my aunt used to own a pet care business, my mom and I used to foster puppies and all kinds of dogs, and I have had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. I feel a strong connection with all animals, especially dogs and have always loved playing and being around them. I would love to help you give your pet the love and care they deserve, sometimes you need an extra hand! I have worked in customer service for the past 8 years and attended Hidden Valley High School and graduated in 2017. Let me make your life and my life a little easier with the joy of animals. I can take walks through the park, stop in your home and care for pets and I also could care for pets in my own home. I have a pretty open availability during the day and am usually only gone from my house a few hours a day. This leaves me free for any day time drop ins or walks and very open for boarding as well. I am able to feed, play with, walk and generally care for animals. With drop ins I can stay and give pets and play for an extended length of time, with walks I can take your animal to a new place with the owners permission, and with boarding I can provide new toys and enrichment.

They get plenty of petting, snuggles and play time while with me. We may play fetch, play with toys, go for a walk, chew bones and enjoy treats periodically.

Just let me know what your needs are. I offer boarding in my home as well as drop in and overnight stays in yours to make things as easy as possible for you.
