“Sophie did a great job with our 1 year old dog. She was a great communicator with consistent updates and pictures throughout the stay which gave us confidence in her wonderful care of our pup!”

“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!”

“Awesome sitter! Super easy to work with, great communication, and sent photo updates. Scouty was in great hands and came home happy and tired (in the best way). Would highly recommend!”

“Veronica was great! Theo was happy to see me when I picked him up but he kept going back to the door when she was inside getting his bed :) to me this means he was sad to go. She sent pictures and videos during his stay. He found a great spot to hang out on the steps and had fun with the other dogs she was sitting. I would definitely bring him back for another stay and recommend her to anyone.”

About: Growing up, I have always been around animals. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own that I love unconditionally. I have house sat for families with a variety of pets. From taking care of cats, dogs, geckos, and chinchillas, I have found myself to be very responsible person and loving towards all animals, giving them all the attention they need. Being a very active person, I will always give your pet plenty of exercise.
“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”

“Tatiana and Renat took amazing care of our dog! We were on a long trip and did not have to worry a bit as we regularly received wonderful messages with pictures from Tatiana updating us about how things were going. We are so grateful for the great care that they provided. ❤️”

“Mary was absolutely wonderful with Kona. She was also incredibly understanding when our needs changed and her flexibility was very much appreciated. Kona came home tired and happy and we will certainly use her in the future.”

“Bianca was so kind and responsive, took great care of Aspen and always kept me updated. I would recommend her to anyone and would also be happy to have Aspen stay with her again anytime. Thank you!”


“Drake had such a wonderful time with Tula. I loved the updates throughout his stay, which gave me comfort knowing he settled in ok and was having a good time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.”

“We had a great experience with Alex. She's professional and easy to communicate with, and most importantly she took very good care of our dog for over two weeks. We got regular updates with photos, and it was especially nice to see how well our dog got along with hers.”

“Ellen is very skilled at what she does. I think she’s the Dog Whisperer of Marin. My small dog Gracie never gets along with other dogs, but was somehow able to under Ellen’s watch. I highly recommend Ellen!”

“Thank you very much Julie and Adam for Mollie's wonderful "Spring Break." We knew she's in good hands as we dropped her off. We really appreciate your daily updates with pictures of Mollie. You are the best!”

“Thank you Ashish! It’s not easy leaving your pet with strangers, and Maya is not the easiest dog to handle , but you were very kind and patient with her. Thanks also for the photos and video, it was so nice seeing her at ease in your home. We will definitely use you again in the future.”

“Christian was great taking care of our little Fig. He was very prompt at responding to our last-minute request and was a good communicator overall. It sounds like he has a lot of experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We will definitely be using Christian again!”

“Derek and Stella were communicative and super easy to coordinate with. They took great care of my pup and I’d happily book with them again in the future!”

Sophie was amazing with Poco! This was our first time leaving him with her, and she made the whole experience so easy. She sent tons of updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear he was having a great time. I especially loved hearing that he got along so well with her dog. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sophie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative sitter.

We trust Emily with kid Javier when we need to go out of town and have been so happy to know that he is in such good hands. Emily makes sure Javier gets exercise, takes him for walks, hikes and gives him plenty of snuggle time! We love getting photo updates and will definitely keep taking him to her.

Ellen was professional from start to finish, making us feel our pup was safe and taken care of while we were away, including text and photo updates. Our doggo is a bit shy and anxious, and Ellen knew just how to connect with him and get to know his personality. It was our first time leaving our pup for a night away from home and we/our pup couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.

Frankie had a wonderful time with Morgan and Svet and was very well taken care of! I could tell when I picked her up how comfortable she was in their house and with their family! Communication with Morgan was great and I loved all the pics and updates she sent over. Thanks for taking such good care of Frankie

Christian was great taking care of our little Fig. He was very prompt at responding to our last-minute request and was a good communicator overall. It sounds like he has a lot of experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We will definitely be using Christian again!

We are very particular with who we leave our dog with since he needs lots of exercise and attention to be his best self. Kim and Estee took great care of him - from long hikes from the house to playing with other dogs in their beautiful backyard, he got plenty of exercise. They have a great setup for hosting dogs and were very communicative - sending pictures during his stay and taking time before hand to learn his routines and preferences. We were very happy to find a wonderful place for Moxie to get such great care when we are away - thank you!

I love that Etienne and Emilie treated Tobi like he was a member of their family. They took him on hikes and to the beach - all things he loves. When Tobi was dropped off, he ran right into their house and he seemed happy and healthy when we picked him up. I would love for them to sit for Tobi again if they would accept him!

Sue and her family saved us in a last minute jam when our usual sitter cancelled the day before our trip!.. they gave me regular updates, lots of adorable photos, the made Charlie feel like one of the family! I would certainly book with Sue again - they were wonderful! I knew Charlie was safe and well looked after so I could enjoy our time away! Thanks!
