Sonja was great while watching my pug. I received lots of updates and felt like Lulu and my house were taken care of. Sonja will watch Lulu again in a few weeks.

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!

My 2 dogs and cat loved Mindy! We were away for a week and a half and Mindy took such good care of our furry family and home. We came home to a spotless house and our pets were happy and calm - a big difference from other pet sitter experiences. One of our dogs liked her so much that he kept looking to see if Mindy was still here after we got home! One of the pieces that really worked for our family is that Mindy works mostly remotely and so she was home with the animals most of the time and that helped them to feel safe and bonded with her. She watered plants, helped to communicate about roof construction that had to happen while we were gone, and alerted us to problems that came up. She was very professional all around. We feel so fortunate to have had Mindy here while we were gone. It was so lovely to be able to actually enjoy our time away without worry! Thank you, Mindy!

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.

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.

What a great dog sitter Joshuah was. It's so hard to leave and feel comfortable with my time away but Joshuah was perfect. He responded promptly every time I sent a message I appreciated that! I felt very comfortable with him here in my house for 5 nights...pictures daily

Riley is wonderful! She is experienced, knowledgeable, conscientious and has a kind, patient manner. Riley stayed with my big, senior Alaskan Malamute for 6 days/nights in my home while I was out of town and did a fantastic job with both pet sitting and house sitting. Riley was very communicative before her stay to make sure she was familiar with food/medicine schedules and all other routines. While I was away, Riley texted and sent pictures daily and it was very clear that my Malamute was totally happy, comfortable, and content. I arrived home to a calm, relaxed dog who I’m sure is hoping that Riley returns soon!

Josie was awesome! She stayed at our place over a long holiday weekend and took great care of our dogs. She kept in touch the whole time, sent cute pictures, and let us know when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well. We really appreciated the updates. Came home to a clean house and two happy dogs—couldn’t ask for more. Will definitely book with Josie again!

Emily is the best!! She took such good care of our dog Pablo while we were away for the night. He’s a large, high energy dog with separation anxiety, so we were a little nervous leaving him overnight, but he did great with her. She kept us updated with photos and made sure he got enough exercise and attention to stay happy/settled. She also left a thoughtful note afterward on how he did which we really appreciated. Overall we felt super comfortable having her watch him and would definitely book her again.

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!

Sophia was great! She came to our house in advance to get familiar with our pup and where things are. We could immediately tell that our dog felt comfortable with her and loved her. Sophia asked great questions, took our dog for hikes every day, and sent regular updates and photos. We felt very confident in her and could not have asked for a better experience! We would absolutely recommend her as an amazing pet-sitter!

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 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.

About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was born, and I’ve personally trained two of them myself. I’m currently an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO, where I’m constantly learning about and working with a wide variety of animals. I’m also a student employee and volunteer at some of Cal Poly’s animal units, where I work with bull calves and horses. These experiences have helped me feel confident and comfortable providing safe, attentive, and loving care for all kinds of companions. I truly love animals of all sizes and ages, and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like or get along with. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I will do my absolute best to make sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care! As a Cal Poly student, my schedule varies at different points in the year, but I do my best to keep my calendar updated. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit into your pet's routine! I will care for your pets no matter the environment! I can adjust to whatever your pets needs may be and will be diligent to ensure your animal has the best care possible.
