About: From an early age I have always had a pet at home, we got Peewee 4 yrs ago, recently we adopted 2 more, their family couldn’t take care of them anymore. Toby 8yrs old and Sebastian 10yr all 3 of them are loving and get along great.. We care for your pets as if they were our own. I work from home remotely so your dog will have me at home all the time. When your dog stays home with me, I will take them in daily walks 2-3 times a day. In the day time I walk them two times 2-4hrs apart and evening, I will walk them 1 more times 2-3 hours apart. I strive to recognize those and meet them through patience, loving interaction. After our meet and greet, I like to get well acquainted with your pet and make sure they are comfortable with me. Once I’m aware of their routines, needs, we are good to go! Constant communication, you will receive regular updates, including photos, videos, so Can rest assured that your companion is receiving top notch care and attention.
“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”
“HANDS DOWN THE BEST PET SITTER!!!!!! Meghan took great care of my pup Snoop. She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease leaving your Pet. The communication and updates were spot on. I will DEFINITELY recommend Megan, and will request her in the future.”
“Mia really enjoyed her stay with Candace and her family. Her home was so inviting, when she took me to see her fenced yard the first thing I said was the area was very calming and relaxing. Candace sent me updates and pictures throughout the entire stay. I will definitely book with Candace again!”
“After meeting Lynda & Mark W. we knew they would be good to Paco. But they exceeded our expectations! When we left him his paws were raw from fall weed allergy, but wow! His paws were all healed when we picked him up.He was totally cared for! We highly recommend them to any dog lover who needs a dog sitter!”

Iman is so flexible and quick to respond. She has the cutest added touches that make me feel confident that Malcolm is being cared for properly. I won’t spoil it by sharing all the details but know that Iman is super thoughtful. I hope that Iman is Malcolm’s forever sitter! 💕
Jocelyn is hands down THE best pet sitter I could ask for. Jocelyn has taken care of my little pup I want to say close to 5 times now or maybe a little over and every time she is welcoming of us and always on top on communication. Sending videos and updates of lychee. Lychee gets so excited to see Jocelyn and her little pups and it shows me that lychee trusts her so much. If you haven’t worked with Jocelyn yet it’s a must Shes will take the best care for your fur baby!!!
