Denae kept me updated with details and pictures every day of how our fur babies were doing. She took extra care of our girl with her knee injury and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a conscientious pet sitter!

About: I have had many dogs growing up who I’ve cared for. I currently take care of my best friends dog while she’s out of town and love interacting with new dogs. As of right now I have a free schedule so anytime I’m needed will work. I’m open work to anytime of the day or night. I have a fenced back yard where they will have room to play and be comfortable. If they aren’t outside dogs then they are more than welcomed to roam in my house.

We were so grateful to have Cambria house sit for us and watch our two dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout our trip, sending daily updates and photos of the dogs. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that our dogs were happy and well-cared for by Cambria. She took care of everything we needed while we were gone, watered our plants and went above and beyond, cleaning the floors before we arrived back home! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!

Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter where I socialized puppies and cats. Animals have always been very comfortable around me and vice versa. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I care very deeply for animals and would love to help you ensure your dogs are getting the exercise and attention they need. I graduated college with a major in veterinary technology at TJC, and currently work as a veterinary technician. I do have a full time job at a veterinary clinic with my days and hours varying. Typically I work 5 days a week with a max of 8 hours a day. Due to this I am unable to be with your pet at all times but would love to spend my free time with them! I make sure to stay in close proximity to the animal and keep a close eye on them while playing with toys to prevent any injury. I am very knowledge on what kinds of things are toxic to both cats and dogs and am able to pick up on signs of possible varying illnesses.

Parker was great with our pups for a nearly 3 week house sitting stay. He was very responsive and took wonderful care of all 3 of our huskies! Huskies can be very demanding on attention and care and Parker handled it with ease - not to mention walking 3 huskies twice a day is no easy task! The pups all took to him right away when we did our meet and greet and we felt very comfortable with having him stay in our home so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. He was very communicative and took great care of the house. He went above and beyond with helping keep the place clean and watering our plants outside! We feel we can take more trips now without worry as we have a great sitter available and knows our pups through and through. We highly recommend Parker as a dog sitter who will take wonderful care of your furry loved ones and of course your home.

Skylar was awesome! We traveled from out of town and last minute decided we needed a dog sitter for a couple days in our hotel room. She was very accommodating. Her response time was always immediate and she sent updates as well as photos of our boy while she was with him. If we come back to California we absolutely will use Skylar again!

Mae was absolutely wonderful with Felix. She treated him with so much care and affection, as if he were her own pet. They bonded very quickly, and it was clear that Felix truly enjoyed his time with her. She was also an excellent communicator, punctual, reliable, and very attentive to details. I felt completely comfortable leaving Felix in her care, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter.

Chloe has given the most amazing sitting service ever! My dog Bubba already misses her! She came fully prepared and handled the job with ease! She’s a professional and has a passion for these animals! Bubba wanted to leave with her at the end of the day! Anyone would be blessed to have Chloe as their sitter! Thank you so much Chloe, you deserve way more stars than just 5!

Nathan is fantastic! I could tell at our first conversation how much he loves animals and he could be trusted to care for my dog. And I was not wrong. He gave Ike the best care and took great care of the house too. He gave regular updates and sent pictures. Ike is so happy to see him. Nathan is more than a sitter, he is part of the family now. I can't think of anyone better to care for my boy when I travel. Thank you Nathan!

Sofia is a real gem! She sent pictures and videos every day and I could see my dogs were content and happy. When I got home my house was spotless. She had the sheets in the washer, blankets in the dryer, and clean dishes in the dishwasher. I know she loved on my dogs because they didn't want her to leave when I got home. Highly, highly recommend!
