1. Caroline C.
“I can't recommend Caroline enough as a dog sitter. The first time she watched my pup, Willow, she took her hiking and to the beach. She was patient, super trust worthy, and so calm with my rambunctious puppy. Since then, my pit bull mix has had some issues regulating with other dogs. I have to be very mindful about who I leave her with and where. It’s also very hard to find a dog sitter. I’m so lucky to have found Caroline. She meets Willow where she is at. Helping her regulate, keeping her safe and out of danger situations. She’s great at updating me when I’m away– sending me pictures and progress texts. She is responsible and flexible ands just all-around great!”


2. Jennifer R.
“Jen has always been great with my two, very active dogs! She has cared for them like they are her own, giving them lots of love, exercise, and enrichment. She is knowledgeable about the needs of many different breeds and basic training techniques, which has been great with my Aussie and Border Collie! Her own pup is also a great and friendly companion to any dog!”


3. Alli C.

“My two boys love when Alli gets to watch them! She’s excellent, communicative, and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy”

6. Christie C.

“Christie was a great kitty sitter! I can tell when I got home and my kitty was relaxed , that she had good care . Christie checked in with me daily and was dependable with her visits . Thank you for helping us feel at ease while we were gone :)”


7. Luke E.
“Luke is really great with dogs, and he even worked on training our dog a new skill while he watched her. Our dog also loves his dog Rummy and had a blast playing with him.”


8. Emma D.
“Emma has been around pets her whole life, knows pet behavior, and is great with them. She worked at my veterinary clinic for several years as both a customer service rep and a kennel technician, and she excelled in both areas. Emma is a very caring, reliable, and trustworthy person who you can count on to do an excellent job taking care of your dog(s).”


9. Megan H.

“Megan was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog. She was also great at communicating throughout the booking and confirmation process, which was simple to set up. I received pictures and updates while I was gone. Highly recommend!”


10. Samantha M.
“Sam has taken care of our dogs many times and is the BEST. We are so sad that she has moved from the east coast, as she is irreplaceable. Our dogs adore her- GiGi gets so excited her teeth chatter, and Maui immediately runs to grab his favorite toy to show her. Not only does she take excellent care of the dogs, she keeps the house neat and tidy (tidier than we do even!). Can’t recommend her highly enough!”


11. Brad T.
“Brad loves dogs and caring for them. They are his family 24/7/365! He has dogs of his own and always makes sure they are safe, well fed/hydrated and exercised.”


12. Caitlyn S.

“Caitlyn was amazing! Super attentive and extra lovey with our dogs. Very grateful to have her looking in after the pups while we were gone. Will definitely be calling her again next time.”


13. Mariah S.

“Mariah is awesome! She recently agreed to watch our fur baby with very short notice and did an amazing job. Also, our request was submitted outside of normal business hours but, she respond rapidly and with a very pleasant attitude.”




14. Brenden D.
“Brenden is a great dog sitter and we use him frequently for house sitting. OUR TWO PUPS LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! He also trained them to not pull on the leash.”


15. Kristina K.

“Kristina did a terrific job! I would happily book her again and recommend her most highly!”


16. Amara S.

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Amara! She has been a lifesaver (and laugh-maker) for us every time we visit Truckee with our two French bulldogs, French and Toast. Not only is she incredibly reliable and professional, but she also has a knack for capturing the most hilarious photos of our dogs—we’re convinced she’s secretly a dog paparazzi. Amara always goes above and beyond, whether it’s ensuring Toast, our little drama queen, feels safe around other dogs or giving French the royal treatment he clearly believes he deserves. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We feel so lucky to have found her, and honestly, our trips to Truckee wouldn’t be the same without knowing she’s there to care for our pups. French and Toast may not be the easiest duo (we blame Toast’s diva tendencies), but Amara handles them like a pro—and makes it look effortless. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and send you pictures that will make you laugh out loud, Amara is the dog walker to book. Five stars just doesn’t feel like enough!”


17. Alexandra G.

“Alex was great! My cats were fed and watered everyday by her!”


18. Scott F.

“Thank you for looking after Lily, fantastic job, would recommend to friends and family!”


19. Ashlee S.
About: I have had dogs all of my life! I volunteered at the humane society as a foster care provider and found homes for many dogs during this time. I worked with a veterinarian for the past ten years and provided care for his dogs. I am very active and can also run with your dog if you have a high energy breed such as a husky. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own and can also groom, massage, administer medications, recommend holistic nutritional changes, and provide any additional services that your furry companion may need. I can bring your pup to obedience classes, vet visits, or grooming appointments! I will also work with dogs that have issues such as socialization issues, manner problems, or anything else we may discuss. I currently work from home, so I am able to watch the furry friends all day. They can have a private space in the home, in the yard, or join the pack. I can customize preferences to include a hike, trail run, short walks, pick-up/drop off at your pets location, light grooming, etc. In my home I have three dogs, and they can be separate or play together if preferred. i have a large fenced yard. There is also a separate studio with a kennel if needed. If visiting a clients home, I will adjust to clients preferences and instructions.
