“Kayla was perfect. She was respectful of our home and very loving and caring towards our pets. I received daily pictures with updates and came home to a clean house. Will recommend her to friends and family!”

“Jaden is simply amazing! We were worried about leaving our pets, especially our Akita (not even two years old) but Jaden came up a couple of times to get to know him first and by the time of our trip he was excited to see her! She is kind and thoughtful - sends pictures throughout her stay. I can’t recommend her highly enough! We will continue this relationship, for sure!”


“Thank you for taking good care of my pups and being great with communication!”


About: Hi, I’m Dominie! I offer loving home-style boarding with 2 daily walks and plenty of updates. Your dog will feel right at home. My pet care journey began with two amazing dogs- Lucky (a Lab) and Mills (a pug-chihuahua mix) whom I cared for daily over 3 years. From walks to meals, playtime to cuddles, I became part of their world and realized how much I truly enjoy caring for animals. What sets me apart is the personalized care & constant companionship your dog will receive. I work from home, so your 🐶 will never be left alone. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times to fit your schedule. Need help with transport? I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off for a small mileage-based fee. Just sit back and I’ll handle the drive! 🚗🐾 Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule since I work from home. I have the flexibility to take pets out for walks, play, or potty breaks throughout the day. I have a gated front yard that’s great for safe, supervised outdoor time. A typical day looks like: 🐾Morning walks around 7am to start the day with energy and excitement. 🐾Potty breaks every 2 hours. 🐾Midday play sessions during my work breaks (I’m always up for a game of fetch!) 🐾Evening walks around 6pm to wind down the day. 🐾Plenty of snuggles, affection, and supervision. Whether your 🐶 is playful or prefers a chill day indoors, I adapt to their needs and comfort level. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“Tatiana was awesome. She was very communicative and detailed and my boys, who don't usually care too much for strangers, absolutely loved her. 10/10 can't recommend her enough.”

She communicated with me and sent pictures. Very great experience with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Grace your appreciated.”


“Kat was amazing with my girl! She kept me in the loop every time she took her out, fed her, and walked her. She responded quickly. She was very caring and loving to my pitty girl. Definitely will reach out again”


“Super sweet and very responsive, and very flexible when we needed to extend our trip. Took great care of the fur babies, will definitely use Calie again in the future.”

“Breanna was amazing! Excellent communication, very helpful and super nice. I am very picky about who watches my dogs, I would absolutely call upon her again. Thanks Breanna!”


“Our pup, Tilly, was happy with Jess and so are we. He took her for her walks and the neighbors who ran into him and Tilly said that he was great. Upon our return, the house was neat and clean. Can't get much better. Will definitely use Jess again.”



“Julie was terrific! Our dog is suspicious when others come into the house, even those she sees regularly, but she warmed up to Julie immediately. Julie took her job seriously and went through extra measures to ensure our dog's safety after encountering an aggressive dog while walking her. She sent photos several times a day and even did extras around the house we hadn't specified, like filling the birdbath and watering our outdoor plants. I've already booked Julie for our next trip because I'm afraid that when everyone else finds out how great a pet-sitter Julie is she will be busy when we go out of town. :)”


About: I’m young and full of life. I’ve had at least 5 years of experience sitting for friends and family. I’m going to college and studying to be a Veterinarian. I volunteer at Kern County animal shelter, and my main task is cleaning puppy cages, so I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I am a college student at CSUB, studying to be a veterinarian. During the Summer, I have a lot of free time while still maintaining good availability during the school year. Even if I have classes, I would still be able to check on an animal every day. I make sure to remove anything that could potentially harm an animal (Sago Palm for cats) and if they enjoy going outside, to always have them on a leash and in my sight.

About: Hi my name is Alyssa and I love all kinds of dogs. I have owned dogs and cats all my life and love all the wonderful things they bring to our lives. I have 2 years experience as a Vet Technician, and Kennel Technician so am familiar with almost all breeds and their specific needs. I have plenty of experience with administering medication and can do so if needed. I believe that pets are like children and are valued members of the family. I will send updates and photos so you always know how your loved one is doing. I would love to be a part of your pack and help your dog be as happy and healthy as possible. I look forward to getting to know and caring for your fur baby. I currently work full time, but I have plenty of time outside of work to care for your pet. I am available anytime after 5pm and anytime before 8:30am on weekdays I always make sure that whatever pet is in my care feels comfortable and safe. I’m all about making sure to keep to whatever routines have been established so that they don’t have any added stress.

About: My name is Becky. I've had dogs (mostly golden retrievers my whole life, and I have a soft spot for gentle giants. We are a family with a dog, so it's essential that your dog is both dog- and human-friendly. We take lots of pictures of our guests. We know how much that helps to reassure the owners who are missing their pets! Our 2 cats are usually kept away when we dog sit. We also have outdoor chickens (in a separated gated area in the yard). Dogs that have a strong hunting instinct may not be the best fit for us. I would love to walk your dog or take care when you need me! On the days I am home, I will be able to do potty breaks every 0-2 hours. I work from home and only have occasional errands to run. My yard is fenced. I have one dog who will love to play with yours. On walks, I will make sure to avoid other dogs and keep a close eye.
“Atlas does an amazing job taking care of my cat while I travel. He is thoughtful and always lets me know how she is doing. He takes good care of my house while he is there. He does a great job at communicating about any details and any relevant updates. He’s a joy to work with!”


About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years now. Some more in past years. I have taken care of my friends and families pets for years now. Pets can be scared and intimidating but I know that with my love and patience with pets they do become comfortable with me. I work with kids, but my schedule is really flexible and I have breaks in between each client which gives me the opportunity to check up on pets. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. One of them is Charlie, a poodle/shih tzu, who is super sweet and the other dog is my sisters, who is a Rottweiler named Blue. Blue and Charlie are both sweet dogs. Blue is very energetic and playful and has never been aggressive as well as Charlie. Charlie mainly stays in my room in his kennel and Blue stays separated from the backyard and stays in the side area or in his kennel in the garage. All pets have always been separated but do give them opportunities to play with each other often and supervised.

Vanessa M.
“During our 21 year old, senior cat’s last days, Vanessa ensured our cat was comforted and cared for. Our loving senior was fed, loved, and watched after with the utmost attention and care. We know it is harder for people to want to care for senior animals as they have become fragile, sedentary, and overall have lost their young cuteness. Vanessa instead let our sweet angel take her time, playing with and petting her gently. She also made sure our tiny senior was fed around the clock, making sure to prepare her special diet thoroughly (she had oral surgery twice with teeth removed both time). I would recommend Vanessa for all animal needs. She is intuitive, attentive, and meets all demands you might have for your fur baby.”
