Jo-Ann was wonderful with our senior dog. She gave her daily walks, was punctual and understood the needs of. 16 yr old pet. She took a daily photo while on her walk. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Brian is wonderful, and I highly recommend him if you're looking for someone to care for your pup. He so clearly LOVES dogs, and he also has a wealth of knowledge and understanding about their behavior-- I think he could give Cesar Millan a run for his money. I have a special-needs boy who doesn't usually love strangers, but Brian knew how to approach and relate to him in a way that immediately put both of us at ease-- me AND my anxious boy. Brian was attentive, responsive and professional. I know that Rocket is in excellent hands when he's in his care.

James was great for Apache. He was on time, communicated throughout and sent me lots of photos which I appreciated very much. James even went out of his way to take Apache for a few car rides (with my permission of course) for different walk destinations. Overall James has been amazing! I will definitely get James to walk Apache again and recommend him to anyone.

Bella is such a caring dog walker. She was patient with our dogs while they got used to her. Now they get so excited when they see her. She goes above and beyond to ensure the dogs have a fun time. She truly cares for our dogs. We would highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter.

Christin is the most loving, gentle, attentive, and reliable petsitter we could ever ask for. She has effortlessly and dutifully cared for our very needy dachshunds on multiple occasions over the years--both for shorter stretches and also for weeks at a time. She is excellent with dogs and cats of all breeds and ages, and a thoughtful listener who sincerely attends to the specific needs of any pet: detailed dietary regimens, regular administration of medications, safety concerns (e.g., carrying a dog up and down stairs when they have a bad back, making sure they don't get into foods they shouldn't, avoiding run-ins with other animals/vehicles, making sure they don't eat cat poop or garbage, etc. etc. etc.). In short, we would trust Christin with our pets (and even our young children!) on any occasion, knowing that all needs would be met exactly as requested, and that she would deftly and responsibly handle any issues or emergencies that might arise with the utmost care. You simply can't find a more wonderful person--or a more prompt, clear and thorough communicator--to care for your furry friends.

We had Tina look after our dog Bluffy for a week while we took a trip to east coast and hired Tina to stay with our dog and walk him every day. We were happy to have selected Tina as she was super friendly to our dog and he was sad seeing her leave. We highly recommend Tina to all the pet owners.

Nick has taken care of my dog for many years when I go out of town and sometimes just to walk her when I am busy. He is absolutely wonderful with animals, dogs adore him. He is completely responsible and shows up when I need him and keeps the house perfectly clean when I am away. I would highly recommend him for all of your furry friends.

Alex took care of my English Shepard named Riley in Portland, OR throughout the pandemic and I could not have been happier with the way she treated him. She was consistent and compassionate, treating Riley exactly the way I try to -- even when he was especially moody after a surgery. On the human side, Alex was responsible, a great communicator and a dog-lover and I know she's eager to get to spend more time working with dogs since moving to Santa Barbara. High high recommend!

Isis is my girlfriend, we have been together for going on 8 months, she is a very trustworthy person especially when it comes to animals. I’ve never met anyone in my life who loves and cares about animals as much as she does, if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animal baby she is the best person to do so.

Addy has stayed at my house twice, each time for around a week, to take care of my 30 pound Pitt mix. She sent multiple photos and daily updates and was very responsive when I constantly asked her other questions about my dog's well-being (as she has some minor health issues). Our dog has a Fi collar which counts her steps and I noticed that she was above and beyond her step goal every das. As she tends to get anxious without enough exercise, I was never once worried that she wasn't having a great time. I was completely comfortable knowing that Addy was not only taking great care of my dog, but taking care of my house as well. When I returned I think that my house was actually cleaner than it was when I left on my trip... Without a question I would hire Addy to watch my pup again!

Trisha Webb has taken care of Racer since he was 3 months old (now 2-1/2 yrs). We’ve had Trisha for a a few hours, a full day, and almost 2 weeks at a time. Racer has stayed at her house, and Trisha and her daughter, Taylor, have stayed at our house when we’ve gone on vacation. In all instances Trisha has been on time, responsible, and trustworthy. Our dog loves Trisha and Taylor. He goes crazy when he sees them! Trisha takes him on hikes, to the beach, out to lunch, they go everywhere together. Whenever I text Trisha to ask about Racer, she responds immediately and always sends a cute photo. We highly recommend Trisha for any dog sitting and house sitting position. Regards, Cathy Milner
