1. Jami G.
“Jami is the best! She really cares and treats my pups as her own. She is so communicative and provides so many pictures of them during the stay. I have a special needs dog and it's difficult to find someone I can rely on to keep her on the pill schedule and well while I'm gone. Jami has gone above and beyond. You rock Jami!”
2. Maria B.
“Maria is a joy to have in our home to watch our fur babies. With senior dogs you have to pick someone with knowledge and kindness and Maria has both. She’s trained to help our girl who has seizures if need be as well as happily talks them on walks even if it means carrying one most of the way. Book with Maria, you won’t regret it!”

“I can’t recommend Tiffany enough as a dog sitter! She recently took care of my dog, Felix and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and comfortable. Tiffany’s communication was excellent—she sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Felix warmed up to her, and I could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Tiffany followed all of my instructions perfectly. If you're looking for someone who is responsible, kind, and truly loves animals, Tiffany is the one to choose. I’ll definitely book her again in the future. Thank you, Tiffany, for being so amazing!”

About: I have helped my family and friends take care of their animals. Cats and dogs included, I've given baths to animals of all sorts and sizes. I have fed them and I love taking dogs on walks. Even bigger dogs who may pull and tug on the leash. I am in enrolled in college at Allan Hancock College here in Santa Maria. I have tons of free time outside of classes. I get my work done usually in class so afterwards I have almost nothing else to do. I'd love to be able to play and care for animals. I have cats and dogs in my home. We have a few leashes here that I could use for any dogs who do not have a spare leash. There's a backyard that is fenced off from neighbors yards
19. destinneey V.
“Destinneey is an amazing pet owner and I would trust her any day with my cats or dogs. Her empathy, patience, and caring nature helps me feel at ease when I need a break or for my pets to have a training session. She offers guidance and encouragement for strategies that I can implement with my dog on my own time. Her efforts are always appreciated and the way she communicates really emphasizes that she puts incredible care for her companions.”
