Mezcal had the best time with Clara and her pups. She is a great communicator, super attentive, and clearly took excellent care of him. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mezcal was happy and well cared for, and it was clear he was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Clara and will definitely use her services again!

Our pooch was very well taken care of! We received updates and photos twice a day, which was so comforting while being far away for over a week.

This was Oscar’s second stay with Victoria, and once again she took such great care of him. She kept me updated throughout his stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I’m really grateful for how attentive and thoughtful she is, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Oscar with her again.

Matthew was great! I’m always nervous about leaving my pup with someone new but he really made me feel at ease. He was very responsive, gave photo and text updates, and I could tell after our first meet and greet that he has a wonderful way with dogs. I’ll absolutely send Maya to stay with him and his pack again!

About: The life goal of mine is to be loved by every dog! I have always been surrounded by animals including cats and dogs. Been dog sitting for more than 5 years for family and friends Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m active, structured, and used to planning my days around responsibility—so walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistency, attention, and calm energy. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and longer care periods with advance notice. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely and respect house rules, training preferences, and boundaries. • I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times • I never introduce pets to unfamiliar dogs without permission • I follow feeding, medication, and walking instructions carefully • I keep the environment calm, clean, and stress-free In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce anxiety. I provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing.

Celia (Mengying) was so amazing with Bingo! She was constantly sending the funniest check in pictures and videos, and every time she checked in with me, she was either on her way or getting back from bringing Bingo to spend time with other dogs :) They had so much play time and Bingo had so much fun he didn’t want to leave!

Cesar and his partner took care of my little man last minute. Stewart is a senior and is a newer rescue to me and has less than perfect house training skills. We're working on them at home and have a good routine but I wasn't sure how he would be at a strangers home. I didn't hear much about it which I appreciate because I was worried for any hassle incurred. I received several updates and pictures where it was clear Stewart was well taken care of. I would give Cesar and his partner 10 stars if I could, so thankful to them both for their excellent care of my little one.

We loved our experience with Julian. My dog can be very anxious at a new setting. She settled in quite fast with Julian and ate well (which doesn’t always happen). Julian is very responsive and easy to communicate with. He sent me daily updates and my dog looked so relaxed and happy. I was so relieved to have him watch my dog and will definitely reach out to him in the future for dog sitting!

I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding family for Yuki. Julian and Joe were incredibly warm, attentive, and communicative throughout the stay. Yuki spent three nights there and came home happy, satisfied, and clearly well cared for. It truly felt like a home away from home. They are not just one of the best, but simply the best.
