Brenda was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute sitter for two dogs, and she was incredibly responsive and communicative before, during, and after the visit. She followed all instructions carefully, sent plenty of updates and photos, and made me feel totally at ease. I would definitely book with her again!

I’m so happy to have found Lacina in the sea of prospects! From the very first meeting, my dog Cub, who’s usually shy around strangers, immediately warmed up to her. It was clear right away that she has a natural connection with animals. Dogs know good people, and Lacina is definitely one of them! We both absolutely love her, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and kind.

About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.

Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. One of the dogs being nervous. She took them on walks, fed them their meals and treats. I left them in her care with 100 % confidence and was very pleased when I returned home to see the pups happy and well. Jessica is a reliable and kind person.

About: I have grown up with a dog in my household my whole life! I have experience with everything from laid back Golden’s to high strung Sheppards! Dogs give me so much happiness and I can’t wait to make local dogs happy too! I can do anything from run with your dog to just hang out with them on the couch. Whatever you need I can be more then accommodating! I work 9-5 Monday-Friday. I’m available after work and on weekends as well! I’m all about getting your dog outside and being active. I think it’s important for them to get fresh air, sniff around and get all they’re bottled up energy out! I can’t wait to meet you and your fantastic furry friend! I’m currently working Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. I’m available after work and on weekends. I’m available for dog walks, drop ins and can take care of a dog at the owners home. I will not be caring for dogs in my home but I am happy to come to your home and take care of your dog or cat.

Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!

About: I offer a refined blend of reliability, attentiveness, and genuine care. Every walk is more than a routine. It’s a tailored experience designed to enrich and soothe, with most outings heading to the beach for a serene and invigorating escape from the ordinary. I treat your dog with the same devotion and discretion I would my own, ensuring every visit delivers consistency, comfort, and peace of mind. With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m readily available to accommodate pets with special needs or those who thrive on constant attention. My secure, fenced-in yard provides ample space for play, making your pet’s time here feel like a true retreat. For pet care that feels personal, professional, and luxurious—this is where trust and comfort mee Pet care is woven into my schedule with designated morning, midday, and early-evening blocks reserved exclusively for walks, feedings, and enrichment activities. Because I work from home, I can readily adjust meetings around each pet’s needs while maintaining real-time monitoring and frequent wellness checks. This structure ensures consistent, attentive care without compromising professional commitments. I offer a secure, fenced yard that provides ample space for safe play and exercise. Additionally, being just a short walk from the beach, most outings become scenic and enriching experiences—offering a refreshing alternative to the standard neighborhood stroll.

About: I have had 3 dogs in my life and have experience training them when they are puppies, as well as taking care of dogs with medical issues where I have to administer insulin and give the dog pills. I currently have a 7 month old puppy at home, so I am taking care of her full time. I do not have another job so my schedule is pretty open right now to help take care of some other dogs/puppies! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I like to take my dog on leash walks in our private neighborhood. I as well have a spacious house with plenty of toys where another puppy/dog can play with my friendly dog. I as well have a crate that can be used at any point if needed.

About: I have taken care of my pets and others pets, ever since I was a child. While most teenagers were babysitting, I was pet sitting. Since I have such a love for animals, I then started working in an emergency vet office, and eventually received my dog training certificate! I work from home therefore I am available most of the day! My hours are flexible and would be able to work around most schedules. I would prefer to pet sit at the owners home, since this is where pets are most comfortable. Who knows, a nice dog park could be in order!!

Jessica is great with dogs. She loves them and they love her too. Dogs feel safe around her and gravitate towards her. She is very responsible, kind and caring. I would trust Jessica with any dog. She’s had a lot of experience training our dog as well as caring for him, from walking to feeding to administering medicine - whatever it was - Jessica always handled it and with ease. Give her a try - you’ll be very happy and more importantly your dog will be happy!

Morgan has taken care of our dogs on numerous occasions as well as the pets of many of my friends. She is able to reach and connect with even the most difficult of pooches. She gives them her undivided attention, is down on the floor playing with them, takes them for long walks and shows them bundles of love. I call her the “dog whisperer.” She is amazing!! I would trust her implicitly and quite frankly, she missed her calling…she should have gone to vet school.
