“Gina is fantastic. She truly love dogs and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable. Her place is wonderful and has ample fenced outdoor space with shade and trees. It's a great environment and she even sent my dog home with a toy she had grown attached to. I'd go back without hesitation.”


“Stacey & her family cared for Ari while we spent 2 days in Yosemite. They sent lots of photos and updates, letting us know how Ari was doing throughout her stay. We’d definitely have Ari stay here again!”


“Angie was very easy to book with. She was quick to respond. The drop off was easy, partially bc my dog is pretty easy. She had two small dogs one was easy for my dog to figure out the other not so much but it wasn’t a problem. Angie is clearly a dog lover. She sent lots of pictures and messages while i was in Yosemite. It was nice ti get updates when reception let my phone receive them. Angie was very flexible and accommodating when i communicated i was going to be very late picking up my dog. She stayed up late for me and i happily offered to compensate for the extra time.”


“Our dogs had an excellent time staying at Crystal’s home. They got along well with her dogs and children. They got to play fetch and were really worn out when they came home. We would definitely have her pet sit them again!”



“Sherryl was so great with my girl. She treated her like her own & gave her extra love for me because it was my first time leaving her long term. I got lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Can’t recommend her enough 😁”

About: Willing to take care of most any dogs of all shapes and sizes, while watching your home. I love all animals but am most fond of dogs :) Although I grew up with cats, I am not generally a cat person unless they are super chill/nice. My grandparents owned a pet store in Alameda when I was younger called "The Living Picture" and I had to feed/water all the animals, so I do have the experience, but I'd say more recently it's just been dogs and the occasional cat. Just let me know what you have, and I'll let you know my comfort level. :) I am willing to travel outside of my area (Dorrington/Big Trees) for pet sitting but would like to keep dog walking and drop-ins to my general area of Big Trees/Arnold/Murphys. If you do not live in those areas, then it would be a 1 hour minimum for all walking & drop-in services. I'm currently available full-time for pet/house sitting so I will be able to give both your beloved animal(s) and your home my full attention (as long as I'm not booked)! I will keep my calendar up to date so you can rely on what it says. While pet/house sitting I will walk and play with your fur-baby(s) as much as they like or can handle. I will also send photos to you on a daily basis! I am willing to do other things like pick up dog poop in your yard (if that is where they go), bring in mail, water plants, etc. My rates are set for everyday animals and not 'special needs', so if your doggie or cat needs special attention or has behavioral issues then my rate would go up and reflect the amount of extra care or attention your fur baby requires.

“Chris was great! I needed someone in the area to watch my Sandy for the weekend. Chris provided regular updates and Sandy seemed to really enjoy herself and got along well with Chris’s dogs”


“Emily was great with Toby. He is an older gentleman and is a people person. He had a great time interacting with the other dogs. Emily kept us informed via text and pictures. She is awesome. Toby will be returning again. I highly recommend Emily to watch your dog.”


“Linda was very welcoming and you can tell she really loves taking care of animals. She has a beautiful property, took our dog on many walks every day, and sent lots of pictures. She will definitely be our #1 when we’re in that area!”


About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”



About: Your dog's favorite activities and indulgences will be paramount when in my fun-loving care. Your dog will feel happy, playful, relaxed and will be like family in his/her home or home away from home. Upon meeting me at your home, my home or a neutral site, you will easily sense that I'm a genuinely good, decent man, a loving "dog person" and that I'll treat your dog with the attentive love I treat my own dog. I know from experience, that gaining a loving and reliable sitter is hard to find and provides peace-of-mind security. Your dog will enjoy his/her/their time with me and will be safe with me. Walks, exhausting activities and belly rubs INCLUDED! Text messages with video and photos of your dog and live webcam INCLUDED! Please contact me so we may schedule a meet and greet. I work full time from my home office, so your pup will enjoy lasting attention. I work a part-time gig that takes me away from home for a few hours per week. If pets are introduced into my home, I gently take lead and show the dogs how to be comfortable and adjust. If I am introduced into a pets' home, we allow a meet and greet specific to your dogs' needs. Then, we tour your home so that you may convey instructions.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I currently have a 3 year old beagle named Stan who loves to be outside. I have had several dogs with different energy levels - from a crazy Jack Russell to a super sweet golden retriever. I am very patient and most of my dogs have been rescues. Stan came from an animal testing facility & had never been outside or touched grass when I rescued him. I work remotely from home with a really flexible schedule. I live on 3 acres with my beagle, Stan. I’m very active & love to hike. Stan loves other friendly dogs and would be a great buddy for your dog. We love to snuggle up and takes lots of walks. I do have a crate here at my house if that is needed.

“I couldn't be happier the stay was because I had health health problems and it was like I had sent her to stay with a family member rather than a sitter. From all signs my dog could not have enjoyed her stay more and I was 100% satisfied.”


“Elizabeth was a lifesave when I needed someone to watch my Ava last minute. Super kind and friendly she sent me plenty of updates and photos of Ava. I would definitely re book again :) Highly Recommended!”


“I enjoyed boarding my dogs Pablita and Sparky with Cassandra, because I had to be away for two weeks I was worried but she kept me updated and knowing the pets were well taken care of I was able to rest easy. When I got the dogs back they were happy and in good spirits, I recommend Cassandra for the services and look forward to the next time!”


“Gabrielle took such amazing care of my pup! He loves spending time with her, and she treats him as her own, even getting him a new toy and treats! He loves being able to hang out with her, and is excited every time he sees her!”


“Kinny was really great with Tony. It was his first time away from home without us and I don’t think he wanted to leave. He had so much fun with Aubi, Kinny’s dog. He was super comfortable and happy. Kinny sent lots of updates and pics, which made me very happy. We will definitely have him stay at Kinny’s again in the future.”
