About: Looking back on my life, there’s never been a time. I haven’t had a dog. Dogs to me are like built-in best friends. I do not know of any adult or child that runs up and greets me with kisses hugs and pure excitement. I’ve always said I wish people Could take lessons from dogs of how to treat each other. Every dog is unique and special in their own way. I am currently retired and am able to give any of our four legged guest attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with dogs so they will be well cared for while with me. Weather, I am caring for your dog at my own home or in their home safety and care is my number one priority.

We have a huge backyard and allow our animals to sit on Couch to watch TV with us and of course they sleep in bed with us. I also have a separate room for overnight visitors with a bad and room to play.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I cared for my own deaf English Bulldog for 10 years, learning how to communicate through touch, patience, and consistency. I also cared for my senior black Lab with hip issues—giving gentle massages and modifying our walks so we could still enjoy time together safely. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and I genuinely love being around animals of all kinds. I’m confident administering medications, tending to wounds, and giving extra care to both puppies and senior pets. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their needs so they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. When picking up or dropping off your fur baby, plan on no later than 5:00 PM Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they need. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medications—and I keep your home clean and respected while you’re away. I create a calm, positive environment, paying close attention to body language and behavior to ensure your pet feels relaxed and safe. I always double-check gates, leashes, and doors, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands, receiving gentle care and genuine affection every step of the way.

“Briana is an amazing pet sitter! We received text updates and pictures throughout our dog’s stay. He had a blast, and wanted to stay and play with his new friend! It’s clear that he was well taken care of all day, and we would comfortably leave him with Briana again. Thanks!”


“2nd time and just as amazing! My dog loves it there and you can tell they take great care of dogs and treat them like their own. Highly recommend and I am definitely using them again. Great at communication and so pleasant to interact with!”

“Highly recommend Lorissa to care for your pet kids! She was so great with the updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. we were a little worried about our dog who tends to be people aggressive but he warmed up to her and her husband so quickly. Even had our non-cuddly dog cuddle with her on the couch! They had an absolute blast and have been sleeping peacefully since coming home. We’re already looking forward to using her again in the future. We’ll absolutely be a repeat family ♥️”

“Deborah and John are so kind and amazing at communication. They send photos and videos of Rocket the whole day. I also appreciated if they were unsure about something they reached out and asked which made me so comfortable”

“Spike had a wonderful day playing and hanging with Flo and the other dogs. How do I know? Besides the pictures Flo sent me during his time where he seemed content, when we got home he ran in the house and did about a 5 minute wriggle on his back on my carpet! That’s how I know! I’m as happy as he is. Thank you Flo. He was in good hands with you.”

“Thank you Emily & Tonello for hosting Joy. We can tell Joy had a great day from the tail wags and pup smiles. She also came back smelling better than when we left her there. We greatly appreciate the mini groom sesh. Highly recommended doggy daycare!”

About: We are a mother, daughter duo! You may meet myself YingYing or Annie, my daughter. However, we provide the same adequate care! Animal sitting has been a big thing of ours since we can remember and now that we have adopted Bingo, it has pushed us to do this full-time. We have had Bingo for about 3 years with no issues and no emergency pet visits. She is healthy and lively albeit a little lazy. You can say she is at the top of our food chain in our household. We live in an area where there are trails right next to our house for walks and the park is a block away. We also have a minivan that can take the doggies to the park if they have mobility issues. We are equipped in handling pushy dogs when they are walking and can control their behaviors. Additionally, we can read some body cues from dogs. Please message or email us before booking so we are aware of your dog’s situation and are able to care for them to the full extent. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids aged 10 and 14 so I can accept bookings whenever is necessary. I intend to pet sit as a full time job with opening on the weekends as well. Bingo is quite calm and careless. She is trained to go into a bedroom on command and we have multiple helping hands to situate her and your own fur baby.
About: My love for animals started at a young age; always the one to bring home the stray dog. From the wild to the domestic, I am a true animal advocate. I recognize that dogs have evolved into unique and intelligent beings, deserving of the same respect as any member of the household. I strive to assure you feel at ease knowing that your beloved pet is well taken care of in a safe and secure environment. Daily pics sent via email or text are provided. A plan for your pooch's stay at my Guest House will be tailored to your dog's individual personality, behavioral patterns, and owner preferences. If your pet needs 24/7 supervision, please inquire about availability before booking your reservation. A convenient location, we have a large shaded and fenced back yard for little dogs to explore and romp. Medium-sized pooches can be accompanied on walks around the pet-friendly neighborhood. A comfy bed awaits your pup for a sound night's sleep. Recently retired, so I can devote even more time to your fury family. Frequent home check-ins or dog walks are provided in the immediate Lodi area. All pets have their own preference. When boarding at Sleepy Pooch, pets are well supervised. Frequent outdoor activity is offered in a large fenced back yard. Larger dogs can be walked daily, if desired. Your loved one can sleep in the bedroom, alone in a kennel, or with the host’s pooch if he/she prefers. For pets who prefer to stay home, your host assures security of your property when entering and exiting. A mask will be worn at all times while inside your home. I assess the situation to identify any housekeeping issues that need to be addressed to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Any mail or packages are brought inside. Cat boxes will be thoroughly cleaned at all times. Rest assured that I will take responsibility for your pet as if he/she is one of my own family members. DOG WALKING NOTE. Please have doggy leashed and ready to pick up for their walk. If your request involves entering the home or property to retrieve and prep the dog for a walk, select “Drop-in Visit” and add a note to request a walk during the visit. —Proof of current unexpired rabies vaccination is required for all pets—
