“Veronica filled in at the absolute last minute when another sitter had to leave unexpectedly. She took great care of Fillie even though we weren’t there to do a smooth handoff. We’re so grateful for her flexibility and will book again!”


“Hannah took incredible care of Stella - she was super responsible, attentive and communicated regularly with updates. Hannah is very trustworthy and took great care of Stella and our home. Thank you hannah!!!”



“We hired Michelle when our usual sitter was away the same weekend as us (can u believe)😉. LoL . Michelle was professional from the start of our introduction keeping in touch until we were able to schedule a meet & greet which went smoothly and reassured me that Michelle knew dogs and house sitting. I'm a nervous dog mom (I'm sure I'm the only one) but Michelle anticipated all our concerns and was ready to take care of everything our dog Star needed while we were away, probably more of what I needed to feel calm but either way it was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Michelle as a pet and weekend away sitter. I am sure I will be asking for her service again in the future.”


About: I have been caring for puppies and dogs since I was 11 and grew up in a big family with different breeds from small to big! I truly care for our bestfriends as I know how much they mean to us and grew up around many rescue dogs we adopted and grew into our families. Our puppies only are here for parts of our lives but we are their entire lives and knowing how they are doing when we aren’t home gives us peace of mind. I’m currently working part time as a caretaker for IHSS and am still studying online so I can stay with with your dogs all day and night if needed! Our entire yard is fenced and we have a backyard too with a lot of room for them to run around! We also have crates if they require one at owners discretion for potty training etc

“Kyle is the absolute best. It was the first time leaving our puppy with someone else, and Kyle went above and beyond to assure us that our babies were in good hands- routine photo updates were amazing. I never thought I would be comfortable leaving them with anyone else, but Kyle’s attentiveness reassured me that they were in great care. Koda misses him to this day, we will definitely continue our animal care with Kyle, he was excellent!”



“Juliana was great! She sent me photos of Munchkin, kept me updated on what he was doing and even took care of my rental property while I was gone and changed the sheets and cleaned up over there for two new guest arrivals. I would have been lost without someone as reliable as Juliana being here last weekend.”


“Briana was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Wyatt. She has such a kind, gentle energy that immediately put both of us at ease. She was responsive, flexible, and kept in great communication the whole time. I came home to a relaxed, happy kitty who was clearly well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and trustworthy sitter!”



“Eden was wonderful with our dog Pennie. Eden was so thoughtful of Penny’s separation anxiety. I really trusted her ability to take good care of her and she kept me updated with photos and words of encouragement so I could enjoy my time away. Thank you Eden! 🩷”


“Byron was Fantastic! He kept us updated with photos and video clips. He was accommodating by coming to our hotel room and making us and Riley feel secure. This was our first time leaving Riley with someone else, and Byron made us feel at ease. We definitely trust Byron and would use him again. We recommend him to everyone who needs a sitter.”


“Megan was great! We needed a last-minute sitter, and she responded right away - very communicative. Megan stayed with our dogggos at our SJC hotel while we went to dinner and a show. We received pupdates and pictures of the dogs while we were out. Definitely a great experience!”



“Heidi was a literal rockstar when it came to watching our anxious dog, Kona. This was Heidi's first stay with Kona and she was really flexible in coming over for a meet and greet beforehand. The key exchange went very smoothly as both me and my husband could not exchange in person. All was going well for the first two nights, until our neighbor in the adjoining row house had a fire in the early morning hours. Heidi got Kona out safely, thankfully no one was injured, and was in constant communication with me, my husband, our emergency contact, even the fire restoration team that showed up later in the day. As you can imagine, with an anxious dog and a new sitter, we were really worried about the situation. Heidi had to relocate with Kona to her boyfriend's house as there would be no water for the rest of her stay. Given the situation, we had our emergency contacts take Kona for the last night of Heidi's scheduled stay; we were pretty concerned about her 'delicate disposition' (i.e. Kona is a basketcase who does not handle change and new people well). We are so thankful that Heidi was there for Kona - and us - with the constant communication, flexibility, and overall care and concern she showed for our little girl. Several of our neighbors mentioned to us that our dog sitter did an excellent job keeping Kona calm while first responders addressed the situation. I think it's safe to say that Heidi is an exceptionally trustworthy individual who can more than adequately care for your fur babies - no matter the circumstances - when you're out of town. Thank you Heidi!!!”


“Precious Elizabeth was an answer to prayer 🙏💕. We were in town for my MIL’s celebration of life and under quite a bit of stress. We were praying to find someone to take good care of our sweet Pekepoo, Hobie. Hobie took to Elizabeth immediately and we had perfect peace leaving Him with her for eleven hours. She sent the most darling pictures of him in her home having story time with her adorable grandson, and giving her allll the kisses. It was clear that he was being taken excellent care of, and that he felt perfectly at home. She’s seriously like a magical fairy dogmother. We will for SURE be blessing Hobie by letting him spend time with his, “Ms. Elizabeth” whenever we are back in San Clemente.”

“Sarah was a great sitter for our two dogs! She took them out for beach adventures, applied topical creams and medicine for one of our dogs, and even went the extra step of cleaning the guest bedroom sheets. The dogs were tired, happy and the house was sparkling clean when we got home! She sent photos and videos every day and made sure we were updated our whole vacation. DEFINITELY hire Sarah, especially if your dogs love to be outside and play!”


“Rhett did an amazing job taking care of our high energy big puppy, two cats, two chickens and snake. The house was kept well and our puppy loved him! Rhett was responsive and responsible. All of the animals will be happy to have him back.”



“Lauren was an awesome house sitter/dog sitter for us. Great friendly personality who loves dogs! Our Lab Gunner and Corgi Farley loved her. She sent videos daily and we texted too. We felt so relieved to know our house was locked up each night and the dogs were happy in their beds. Each morning they showed their love for her in their crazy wiggles? She watered plants, brought in the newspaper, vacuumed up hair in kitchen, cleaned up poop and pee, and gave Farley his medicine. She took the trash cans out for us on trash day and brought them back in that night. I’d recommend her to everyone ❤️ Thanks Lauren for all your care… Debbie and Steve Caulkins”

Emma is a great pet sitter! She took such good care of my 2 cats while I was gone for a week. She was always responsive and went above and beyond providing daily photos of each cat. My home was so tidy arriving home you couldn’t even tell someone stayed over. I would hire her again and recommend her to any friends and family looking for a sitter!

Jaime provided excellent care for our rescue pup while we were away. He followed our directions to a t and was very responsive, even with us in a different time zone. Jaime gave Teddy his daily medicine and took time to play with him. We loved the photo updates and seeing that Teddy had such a good time while we were gone.

Mikayla did such a great job taking care of our 3 month old Australian cattle dog Bandit! She was responsive, on time, and most importantly genuinely cared about our puppy. Even though Bandit can be a lot to handle, Mikayla did a great job of keeping him entertained and occupied. In addition, we came back later than we anticipated and Mikayla was able to accommodate our ask, thanks for the flexibility! Thank you Mikayla! We will definitely be reaching out again

Eden was wonderful with our dog Pennie. Eden was so thoughtful of Penny’s separation anxiety. I really trusted her ability to take good care of her and she kept me updated with photos and words of encouragement so I could enjoy my time away. Thank you Eden! 🩷
