About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.

From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, attentive, and experienced Jared is with animals. I got regular updates, photos, and messages, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and well cared for. When I came back, my dog was relaxed and clearly had been treated with lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Nadia was the best! She drove our pooch down to the vet hospital and picked her up after surgery. She made sure to come over the night before, though it wasn’t part of the contract, to make sure she knew where she was going and to meet our pooch. I’d use her anytime.

Elizabeth was the greatest! She took great care of my dogs and home while we were away. She is great with communication, sending updates, photos, and I didn’t even have to ask. We booked last minute after our plans with a friend who was going to watch our dogs fell through, and she was very flexible. I will definitely be hiring her again! It’s very comforting not having to worry about trusting a sitter when you are out of town!

Lauren, did a great job caring for our puppy Gunner, old grumpy dog Jack and our house while we were away. Both dogs being at very different life stages required specific needs and she cared for each wonderfully. She communicated regularly with photos and messages and left our dogs tired and happy and our house spotless. Definitely recommend Lauren to house/and or dog sit!

We hired Jasmine to house/pet sit while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our dogs and cat. She is very reliable and attentive, providing consistent communication with photos and video updates. She even went above and beyond by sweeping our floors! Our dogs are very high energy and Jasmine provided them with more than enough playtime. She clearly loves animals! Our dogs were well cared for and happy they got to have her very cute dogs as playmates! I feel she is someone we can trust with our animals and we already hired her for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Jasmine!!

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats my whole life! They bring me so much joy, and life is so much better with our fluffy friends. Growing up, I’ve been blessed with Shih Tzu’s, a Maltese, a labradoodle, a golden doodle, Siamese cats, a tuxedo cat, and a ragdoll. Besides my own pets, I have lots of experience pet sitting Dalmatians, German Shepherds, and indoor/outdoor cats. I love to spend time with them and will ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I also have lots of experience administering medicine. I promise to love your fur baby and treat them as I would my own. ❤️ I will talk to them, sing to them, and of course, spoil them! I’m a full-time musician and my week days are usually very flexible. I have shows during evenings and weekends, but I can always make time to check in on your pets for potty and feeding times. With my own dogs and cats, I know how important attention and quality time are for their health and happiness. I will follow your instructions on your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding times, treats, medications, and play!

Jingling did an amazing job taking care of my puppy. You can definitely tell she is a professional 👏 She has such a calm, grounded energy, which I really appreciated—and my puppy clearly responded to that. When I came back, my puppy was relaxed and content instead of bouncing off the walls, which says a lot. Jingling was very communicative throughout the stay, sending me updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. She kept a close eye on my puppy, making sure she didn’t get into anything she shouldn’t, and was very attentive overall. She also played with her and made sure she was well cared for, and even cleaned up after her. Overall, I’m pleasently surprised with the outstanding care she provided and rebooking her for whenever she is available next!

We are so grateful that my husband and I got to spend time in Disneyland thanks to her and calm, loving demeanor which kept our dog calm!

Dreama is absolutely amazing! I knew she was a good fit right away when one of my shy cats was begging her for attention before the meet and greet was even finished. All of the animals loved her, and she took excellent care of them while we were gone. She was attentive to all of their needs, and with 4 pets, that can be a lot! I received daily check ins, updates, and multiple photos while we were away, and she was very quick to communicate. She is very thoughtful, too. I wasnt worried about our pets the entirety of our trip because I knew they were in good hands. I cannot recommend her enough!
