Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.

Matilda did a fantastic job with my dog Annie. Sent lots of photos and kept me updated, she even went out of her way to pick up extra food from the store when it was needed. I will absolutely be using her again.

My cat warmed up so quickly to Anna, and as we all know our cats are usually great with their judgement! He’s usually nervous and he felt free to roam and explore with her.

I couldn’t have asked for a better couple for my pups to stay with! They provided all the care and attention my dogs needed while also taking them on lots of outings. I could tell how happy my dogs were in every photo as she kept me very updated. They will definitely be back someday!

Nicole took wonderful care of my pup while I was visiting Santa Barbara. She kept my pup so entertained on daily outings and in her lovely home next to a pretty creek. I will definitely book her again when I’m back in town. So convenient and accommodating :)

Jessica was so great with Bandit! He warmed up to her very quickly and made himself right at home. Jessica was great with giving us updates and sending photos of Bandit throughout the stay. We definitely recommend Jessica and would use her services again!

We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup to the care of Geneva and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Geneva, we could sense her genuine love and passion for animals, and that was reassuring right off the bat. Communication was impeccable. We received regular updates, including photos, which brought us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was in good hands. It was evident that Geneva took the time to understand our pet's needs and preferences, and she catered to them with care and attention to detail. Overall, we cannot recommend Geneva highly enough. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking pet-sitting services. She is truly a gem in the world of pet-sitting!

Michael handled my high-energy, but high-Velcro dog like a pro! I was in town for a wedding and needed to leave my pup overnight. He was kind enough to pick her up before the event, gave her lots of walks and attention, and was great at providing me updates throughout. He was easy to communicate with and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely reach out if I’m visiting again!

I have known Christy for over 16 years now and she is a true animal lover! She adores watching my fur baby (French Bulldog, Hazel ("Hazy")), and treats her just like a family member-she is truly amazing with animals! Hazy can't wait to go visit her "other Mama," Christy, and is always so super excited to see her! Christy watched Hazy as a puppy, when I first brought her home and [unbeknownst to us at the time], was sick and Christy took the best care of her. Prior to Hazy, Christy also took on Hazel's predecessor, Aurora, a wonderful, much older (slower!) Pug, with great care and affection! She is fun, energetic, loves to take the furries on walks and play with them, not to mention has a great dog yard and a super pet friendly home. Your fur babies will feel right at home, either "chillin' on the couch," or off on an excellent adventure!! They will be in the best of hands with Christy!!! Five *****!!!

Alicia and Max took wonderful care of my 3 month old yellow lab, Charlie. They provided consistent updates about her meal time, potty breaks and playtime! I was a bit nervous to leave her for a few days since she wasn’t fully vaccinated yet but they were very cautious not taking her into public settings. I highly recommend Alicia and Max and will definitely use them in the future.
