“Kate is great, and her calm demeanor was very important to my high energy puppy— who takes time to warm up to folks. He warmed to her very quickly. I’d definitely use Kate again.”

“Alyssa was great with my dog frankie! She was very communicative and sent updates throughout her stay which I really appreciated!! She took frankie on multiple walks (which she isn’t the easiest dog to walk) and helped frankie feel loved while I was away! Will definitely book with her again.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shelli! She took excellent care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She stayed in regular contact with us and sent plenty of photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really bonded with our dog, Luli and paid close attention to the notes we had left—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We’d definitely book her again in the future!”

“Madison was prompt and attentive in responding to a last minute overnight booking request and still made time to have a meet and greet with our sometimes tricky dog. They hit it off right away with our dog, and were patient in building trust during their stay. Madison was easy to talk to and very responsive. They left our home in great shape and our dog had a fun time! Will definitely book again.”

About: Safari Parties was my business for 25 years. I have taken care all types of animals. I have had several dogs, my chiweenie just passed at 17 years. I love working with people and animals. I have a credecial in special education and during Covid I cared for an elderly friend for 4 years until she passed. July and August I am available any day or night. In September my schedule changes because I am a Substitute Teacher. So I’ll always be available on weekends and after school hours. Or if I don’t get a job. My care will depend on the need of the animmal and the desires of the owner. I am flexible and if the owner wants me to take their dog to dog beach, I will. I can buckle the dog in. On the other hand, if the owner wants their dog walked on a leash, then that’s what I will do.

“Justine was just fantastic watching our dog Penny. She left our house tidy and was easy to communicate with. We were very happy knowing our dog was in capable caring hands. Thanks Justine!”

“Great sitter! It was my first time leaving my puppy and it went very smooth. Made sure to do a meet and greet before hand and sent picture updates during! Will definitely book again!”

“Kayana did an amazing job taking care of Beanie while I was away for a couple of days. Bean instantly warmed up to Kayana which provided such a sense of relief & comfort knowing Bean was in good hands. Kayana was respectful of my home & provided plenty of updates on how Beanie was doing. I will definitely be rebooking for upcoming trips.”

Lorena R.

“Rachel was fantastic! She was so calm and caring, which our dogs needed. When we got back from our vacation, our house was in great shape and the dogs were happy. She was willing to collaborate on dog care with my mom, and even set up two meet and greets so that the dogs would remembered her since we booked her way in advance. We would definitely hire her again!”

Rachel M.

“Molly was on time, professional, and my doggies loved her!”

Benita S.

“Stephanie is a great sitter!! Reliable and flexible if something comes up!”

Emily L.

“Denise took great care of our little fur family while we were traveling. Our rescue pup is shy and doesn't warm up to new people very quickly but Denise seemed to do a great job with her. She sent a ton of photos, which we loved, and consistently shared information with us throughout our trip. It's always a little nerve wracking to leave our pets with someone new but Denise was very reassuring. Plus, she was very flexible and communicative throughout the booking process which was so appreciated! I would definitely recommend Denise for other anxious pet parents.”

Jena M.

“Hired Lisa to watch our 15 week old puppy during the week while we were at work. She was amazing. Showed up on time, sent updates, cleaned up after him, and took him on LONG walks. The walks really improved his behavior when he was left alone and we appreciate her so much! 10/10 recommend Lisa.”
