“Sonja was so great with our pets and we came home to relaxed, well-taken care of pets and a tidy home. Sonja was also so understanding and flexible about our stay’s exact start and end times. Thank you so very much for everything!”

About: Been around dogs my whole life! Have had my own golden a little over a year ago now so am well versed with puppy behavior and training. I love to stay active and used to bring my dog on hikes, play tug of war and go on long walks so if that sounds like something your dog would love the I’m your girl! Currently have full availability on weekends and after 6 PM on weekdays. Love to stay active and do lots of fun enrichment activities but also love a long mellow walk! I live in an area with a common area but am also really close to lots of great walks and hikes to walk and or go play some fetch!
About: I love hanging out with dogs while their parents parents are away! I am a big hiker, so on the weekends I love taking the dogs out for a hike/long walks and even the beach if allowed! I currently work 8-5 with occasional early entry at 6am. Weekends I am free, and evenings I am free. I am typically active early in the morning, able to feed and walk in the mornings and afternoons. I typically like to pet sit at the owners home to make the time away from the pets parents as seamless as possible! I am incredible respectful of other peoples homes and incredibly clean and tidy.
“Mindy appeared to be both very responsive and responsible. She was good about following up with daily updates and the house appeared the same as when we left it :) Would definitely recommend her.”

“Josh was very responsive to emails and going over details about care for both my dog and home. He seemed to be very conscientious and responsible - two nice characteristics.”

“Kiana was awesome! She is clearly not just a dog liker, she is a dog LOVER. She gave great updates and communicated often, and we came home to a tidy house and a happy dog.”
About: Hi! I’m Laurel! Dogs are by far my favorite animal and I have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember! I’ve always had two medium to large sized dogs growing up. Therefore I’ve also handled all ages of dogs! I’ve also taken care of my neighbors, family and friends dogs which has given me the experince of different breeds and sizes of dogs. Every time I see a dog my day gets instantly better and I can’t wait to be able to take care of your dogs! I currently work a part time job and normally receive my schedule a week or two before I’ll be working. My hours are super flexible when I’m working it’s either from 10-5 or 5-10! I’ll normally be working around 5 days out of the 7 of the week! I will always follow any instructions given and will make sure that if I have any question to call or text immediately! I’m also open to coming before the schedule service to go over anything more that might help! I’ll also send update pictures as often as you’d like!
“Josie was so so great!!!! Last minute panic for someone to watch our guy. She communicated so well and we felt very comfortable with her at our house and with our baby boy who requires a lot of love!!! Will definitely use her again for puppy care!!!!!! Thank you Josie!!”

“What a lovely sitter! My dog had an absolute blast, and I trust Lizzy to give her the best care possible. Hikes, snuggles, and more! Lizzy sent lots of pics and was very flexible with my weird work schedule. Thanks again!”

“We are so glad to have found Emily! Emily took very good care of our senior dog who has some senior needs and behavioral quirks. She is very kind, responsive and on time. She has really nice, sweet and calm demeanor.”

“Gabi did a wonderful job house sitting Ola. I appreciate how communicative she was and how well taken care of Ola was. She provided peace of mind, and most importantly, I can tell she is really good with dogs. She also helped out with our cockatiel.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’m was around 5, I grew up with poodles and we raised them . I would help the neighbors with their cats,dogs,birds and bunnies I currently work for full-time, but on the weekends I enjoy hanging out with dogs. I own one of my own. I do enjoy walking them taking to the park having quality time with them. I can provide a fenced yard. There is a park a block away from my home. We can walk to to have open play or play on a leash.Or one on one play in door or in my fenced yard
“Hannah was great! Super responsive from the get go, kept me updated throughout each day I was gone, and left my house exactly as I left it. Loved the daily photos so I could see my pup having a blast. Thanks, Hannah!”

“Erin is a doll. She was very good with my puppy ... understands that you don't reward a dog misbehaving by showing affection. He wanted to be picked up and she waited until he calmed down. Young, but wise beyond her years. She's smart, reasonable and very polite. GR8 FIND!”


About: I have watched multiple ages of dogs! Some middle aged, all the way to 5 months! I love going on walks and will be happy to have a furry friend to join me. I have helped clean up after them, feeding, grooming, and just hanging out with them! I am a college student but have complete access to a car! I can stay overnight, I can get up early, stay late or even pop in to the house to make sure they get lunch! I will meet their expectations. I couldn't just go over to a clients house and just feed a dog. I would feed them, play with them, etc.

About: I have over 4 years of dog care and dogsitting experience with all different ages and breeds. Additionally, I have my own 4y/o chocolate lab that I have had since he was a puppy! I also love cats and have one of my own! I am currently a student at Cal Poly, but I have a great balance between work and school. That being said, I am available Monday-Friday after 5pm, as well as all day on Saturday and Sunday! I am happy to do overnight stays as well! I currently cannot bring dogs into my own house, but I am more than happy to stay at your home and accommodate to any of your pets needs. Additionally, I have my own car for reliable transport and love to go on long walks or to the dog park!
“Kate was fantastic. Very communicative and punctual. She went above and beyond and even stayed a little longer than originally agreed on so my pups wouldn’t be alone very long until I got home. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”

“Jan took excellent care of my cat and dog (who is a bit reactive). She demonstrated care and attention to both of them, going above and beyond to meet their needs. Jan was also a wonderful house sitter, taking care of our home as well while we were away. Thank you, Jan!”

About: I have been around a variety of different critters all my life. From horses, cats, goats & dogs; I’ve taken care of both paws & claws. I am a full time nomad. My schedule is as free as me. I am able to work wherever and whenever! I am currently raising a puppy and would like to interact and grow more relationships with other dogs for myself and practice for my pup’s socialization. I aim to care for your fur child as if it was my own. We all function best when we stick to our little routines. Let me help you keep your creature on track. Whether it be cuddles or walks I’d like to give you peace in your thoughts. Your pet can be trusted and safe in my care. In addition I am happy to provide any other house sitting and plant watering needs at additional cost / trade.

I am so very grateful for Amelia! She stayed with my pup at my house for four nights and took such excellent care of her. She communicated with me regularly and sent fun pictures of their adventures-including the dog beach. Highly recommend Amelia to all dog families!

Ela did a great job pet sitting our cats and senior dog. She followed all the critter instructions and was very communicative, especially when our old guy was having problems while she was here. She sent lots of photos, too! We will definitely use her services again in the future.

Zoe is incredible! Our dog is very high energy and she gave him plenty of exercise and love. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pictures every day. Our home was in perfect condition when we got home. We would definitely have Zoe stay with our pup again!

Karah is amazing! We have a full of anxiety large dog and she handled him with love and care. She took him on exciting beach adventures and cooked up his special needs food. The house was spotless. She sent videos and pictures. We look forward to Karah's help again.

Joshua has helped us with our two French bulldogs several times, both drop in visits and house sitting. He just finished a week and half house sitting and he has always been great. One of our dogs has eye drops needed several times a day and he always takes care of her.
