“Sam watched our 2 dogs and he was awesome! Sent us daily updates and truely took care of our pups like they were his own! I’ll definitely be booking with him again!!”
“It was our goofy guy’s second time staying with Jocy, and he was so excited to see her again! We could tell he had such a great time with her this stay too, and she is super attentive to his needs and his personality. We loved all the photo updates. We will definitely be using her services for any future traveling we do. :)”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
About: Hey there, I’ve been taking care of dogs for 10 years now, and will definitely make sure they have all the attention they need! I’ve been around dogs all my life and know how to deal with dogs of all different sizes and ages as well. I’ve fostered 14 dogs before so I know exactly how to make sure they are having a wonderful time and are safe the whole time! I work from home and have a pretty relaxed schedule so I can take them out to the park/walks/jogs/car rides/ bathroom breaks multiple times a day depending on how much activity you would like your dog/dogs to get! My main goal is to make your dog/dogs as comfortable so they won’t even know their real mom or dad is not there. I have a ready to go kit for any small emergencies equipped with all the sprays bandages/or any small medical devices I would need. I have my primary vet on speed dial as well if any emergency should happen in which you will be immediately notified and kept up to date. I strive to make sure you and your pets are 110% comfortable with me and the environment they are in so they can feel safe at all times!
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Alyssa! She took incredible care of Leo while we were away, and her experience really showed. She regularly kept us updated, which kept us at ease. Alyssa is fantastic, and Leo agrees!”
“Araceli is great and her house is perfect for my smedium sized dog! I know that Scout felt at home and enjoyed running around her yard when she wasn’t lazing around. That allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands thank you Araceli for taking such good care of Scout! 🐾”
“Thank you so much for watching Zoe for me again while I was out of the country. I never have to worry about her when she is under your care. Truly appreciate it 😊.”
“Kylie was amazing!! Super responsive and always willing to show us how our girl was settling in!! She also was very generous with her flexibility when it came to one of our flights getting delayed. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”
“We are so thankful to Xochitl for taking such amazing care of Fluffy during his 5-day boarding stay while we were out of town. Knowing Fluffy was in such loving, patient, and trustworthy hands gave us so much peace of mind. Xochitl treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for every day. Fluffy also had so much fun playing with the other puppies, which made his stay even more enjoyable. When we came back, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly happy, showing how much he enjoyed his time with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and highly recommend Xochitl to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Casey was a little nervous at first (when I dropped him off), but he quickly adapted. Hana almost immediately sent me a video of him going for a walk, and sent copious videos after that of Casey playing with other dogs. I would certainly use her again!”
“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”
“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”
“Yukiko took wonderful care of my dog. She’s definitely a dog lover with a lot of experience caring for many different types of dogs. She’s very kind and respectful and I plan on booking Yukiko again in the near future. I would definitely recommend her. I’m so glad I found you Yukiko!”
“Felicia was amazing with my dog, Beans! She was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off, sent great pictures and updates, and took such good care of him. Beans is shy at first, but Felicia was patient and took the time to help him warm up. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Sarah and Taylor are THE BEST!i seriously couldn’t have asked for anyone better than them. I have an anxious girl and she looked so happy/comfortable in all of the pics that were sent! So many walks, so many pics, so much communication. Amazing. No notes!”
“Our puppy stayed for over a week here and absolutely loved it! She slept for days after from all the playing she did. She was happy and not stressed upon return from her first boarding experience. We loved the videos that were sent during the day to see what she was up to.”

A Huge Thank you to Shelby and her family for taking care of my dog Bekka. She responded and excepted my very last minute request to board Bekka within minutes. This is my second time having Shelby dog sit Bekka and just like last time I’m very happy with the way she communicated throughout the stay during drop-off, play time, walks and pick-up. Bekka was so excited to be staying with Shelby again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust and your pets will love I highly recommend!!
Sarah is amazing! She always stays in communication with us and sends lots of pictures and updates of Kiwi while we’re away. Kiwi absolutely loves spending time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares for him. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such great hands. We would definitely recommend booking with Sarah!
Lucy and Norah went above and beyond to take care of my greyhounds and make sure they had fun at their place. Greyhounds are a sensitive/needy bunch, so that says a lot about the care they received. I’m so grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you both!!
Mariana was amazing! She accepted my last-minute request and kept me updated with photos and messages. Thanks to her excellent care, I was able to take care of an urgent matter with complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her kindness and would happily book with her again.
Savannah is a lovely and kind person who is undoubtedly warm and sweet with dogs. Before our trip, she proposed on having a meet and greet, so we had a chance to get acquainted and for Jasper to get familiar with the place. This gave us a lot of peace of mind as we were able to see that her apartment was very organized, clean, and safe for pets. It was great traveling while knowing that Jasper was in great hands. During our trip, she sent us lots of pictures and videos of Jasper throughout his stay, in which he looked really happy and cared for. He received lots of play and cuddles, walks, and we could tell he loved being there, as he followed Savannah everywhere. He looked really calm and relaxed when we picked him up, so we could tell they really bonded. Savannah’s care and communication were excellent from our very first contact through the moment we picked Jasper up. We would definitely recommend Savannah to anyone looking for boarding for their pets. We plan on leaving Jasper with her every time we travel in the future :)
Shakyra did a fantastic job, she took great care of our family member, our dog Riley. It was her first time away from home over night. We got a good update and when I went to pick her up the next morning she was calm and relaxed. Shakyra is very pleasant and communicative that alone put us at ease. She get 5 stars from us. Definitely use her again.
Cole is fantastic! My dog is new to us, a rescue and super energetic, and Cole agreed to meet with us and did a walk with his dog and mine to ensure they would get along which they did. Then during the stay, he sent me pictures and updated me on doggies status. Overall amazing. Thank you Cole!
Genevieve was, as always, a fantastic sitter. We had an emergency and having such a trusted sitter for our dog took such a stress off our shoulders. She sent great pictures and updates, and Charlie had an amazing time playing with Willow and snuggling Genevieve and her husband. Thank you so much and we’ll 1000% book again!
Cass took excellent care of my dog Bailey while I was away on a 6-day trip. She provided excellent communication throughout the booking process from start to finish. The status updates and photos she provided left me completely at ease, knowing Bailey was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Cass, and will keep her in mind for future bookings.
