“We needed overnight care while we were in town for a wedding and Sean was great! It was an easy drop off and they sent lots of pics on walks and relaxing in the house even though it was a short stay. Great communication and I’m so grateful my poor anxious guy had a sweet and safe home for the night.”

She was so communicative, and it was obvious that my dog was having a great time! I seriously can't say enough about how great Natalie and her family are, and you should absolutely book with her with no hesitation. I will be rebooking with her anytime we go out of town. She's the best!! Thank you so much, Natalie and fam! :)”

About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and currently share my days with my sweet 13-year-old pup, who’s been by my side for 6 years now. I also volunteered at Woods Humane Society, where I walked dogs and helped with basic care—so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I truly love animals and would be honored to care for yours like one of my own. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, basic training or just a little company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I work full time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for early morning walks (until 7:45am) or after 5:30pm. I have more flexibility on weekends and would be happy to coordinate with your pet’s routine! I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. At my home, we have a fully fenced property with a spacious backyard, side yard, and front yard—plenty of room to explore safely. I’m happy to crate if needed and can easily adjust to your pet’s usual routine. Dogs are welcome indoors and stay inside unless they want to hang outside. Outside has both great shade and sunspots for bathing. My 13-year-old dog is very mellow and used to be a support animal during training sessions at Woods Humane Society, so she’s calm, gentle, and well-socialized with other dogs. My boyfriend, who lives with me and our dog, is also kind, gentle and a former assistant dog training at Woods. He worked with all types of dogs included those who needed a little extra love. Whether in your home or mine, I aim to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I had a golden retriever, and have watched dog breeds from dachshund to boxers! You name it, I’ll care for it. Just moved to town so schedule is completely open! I can help with anything from pet sitting to pet walking, or even daily check ins. How I care for animals is very important to me. I need to make sure they are well exercised for the best quality of life, well hydrated, as well as well fed!

“Patty is very devoted towards the animals she takes into her home. My anxious dog had a wonderful time living the ranch life with Patty. I appreciated Patty’s flexibility and generosity to meet me in SLO so I didn’t have to drive another 40 minutes to her place after a long day of travel. Patty has a kind and caring soul.”

“Amazing person who took excellent care of my two guys. I will reach out next time we skip town and need to find a home for them. Lizzy took them on walks, made sure they played outside, and kept me updated on how they were doing. Even when I forgot to mention that one of my dogs doesn’t pee on walks so he went on her floor afterwards (SORRY!), she didn’t bat an eye. Also, I booked at the last minute on Easter weekend as other plans fell through so I am forever in her debt.”

“Kimberly is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter! She was available to board my large, high energy dog in her home on short notice and gave him the same amount of love and care as if he were her own. I was able to trust her taking my dog to the park, around other dogs, and in off-leash areas. I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years. Three years ago I started fostering various stray dogs and have been finding them reliable homes. I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs, I’ve worked with small chihuahuas, german shepards, dogs with anxiety, hyperactive dogs, puppies, and senior dogs! My schedule is really flexible, I do work a part-time job downtown at a boutique. I am always available mornings. There’s always availability for tail wagging and adventure! My fur baby has anxiety so I’m well equiped and knowledgeable on how to soothe dogs in moments of stress or fear. Dogs are allowed on all furniture in my home and I love to snuggle with them at night. I’ll always provide your pet with a safe, loving, environment.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life and have three of my own. My two kitties and dog are all rescues that rule my life. I’m excited to become friends with your pets!! I work from home and set my own hours so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to take same day bookings, especially if you’re close in location. We have three pets at home so please only request boarding if your pet is dog and cat friendly. My husband and I work from home so they would get plenty of attention :)

“Louise and Bill took excellent care of our dog Sam. Their dog Gracie is very sweet, and Sam has a new friend now. They went for walks twice a day, sent messages and photos at least twice a day. Sam adjusted much sooner than we anticipated. We highly recommend Louise and Bill -.they are very kind and compassionate and we will definitely use them again. We could not have asked for a better experience!”
