“I'm so glad Lindsey was able to hang out with my little miss again: she updated me when she was a little sick, and was kind enough to take care of it! Greatly appreciated and will book again.”
About: I have always been the go-to person for many of my family and friends to go and feed the dogs or hang out with them. I grew up with dogs and always understood cues on when to give space or when they needed something! I adopted my dog almost two years ago and immediately started dog walking with her and later did basic training. At the moment, I work part-time from 2:30-6:30. My mornings and afternoons are very available until mid-January! My weekends are always available. I am flexible! In other pet owners home, I will make sure to follow any guided directions or precautions in order to ensure trust and safety in the home environment. In my home, I keep areas clean and free of anything harmful to dogs. I throw toys away that are damaged or could cause harm because of damage. I give lots of enrichment through feeding games, training inside and outside, and toys that allow her to use her brain! I make sure she eats well and drinks plenty of water while getting lots of outside time!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now, either my own or friends and family. I get along well with all dogs big or small and genuinely enjoy being around them. I have two dogs myself that I have trained and taken care of since they were about 6 weeks old. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs in any way needed. I have availability all week long including the weekends from the morning to evening. I’m able to drop by and walk/play with your dog any amount of times needed or wanted. My schedule is very flexible so anytime the works best for you is good with me! I prioritize the safety of your dog most importantly when walking or checking in on them. I follow the pet owner’s instructions regarding leash handling, walking routes, and any specific needs their dog may have. I’ll ensure your dog is securely leashed before leaving the home and always keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. Any other requests made by the owners regarding their dog I will make sure and follow carefully. I’ll make sure to keep your dog safe as I would my own!

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover since childhood, practically growing up with a wagging tail and a purring chorus by my side. For over 15 years, my own dog was my shadow, my confidant, and my greatest teacher in unconditional love. It has been my proudest experience to had been his caretaker for so long, and in that time, I learned so much on how to keep him safe and happy. My experience goes beyond just my own pets —I’ve become the beloved “aunt” to all my friends’ and family’s pets, the one they trust to spoil, cuddle, and tend to their furry companions as if they were my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or singing silly songs to a curious cat, I make sure every pet feels safe, cherished, and just a little extra adored. When it comes to pets, I always make time—though my availability is limited. I know how much they mean to the people who love them, so I do my best to create a schedule that allows me to provide the care and attention they deserve. While I may not always have endless hours, the time I do have is filled with love, belly rubs, and plenty of tail wags. When I bought my house, my top priority was simple: “Will my dog be happy here?” With a large, fenced yard perfect for zoomies and sunbathing, I made sure they had a safe and joyful space for pets. But I also know that for many pets, there’s no place like their own cozy spot. That’s why I’m more than happy to care for them in their home if that’s what their owners prefer—because feeling safe, comfortable, and loved is what matters most.
About: I love taking care of animals not just dogs and cats. I always try to care for there needs and special qualities they might have. Im currently not working at the moment soo just trying to get together some money, and doing something im passionate about. It just sounds amazing. I brush my cat home and give plenty of treats. let my dogs play in the yard regularly and take them on trips to the park,
“I was so happy to be able to use this service to attend my son's wedding out of state. I felt super confident my boys were being taken care of. Rosalinda and Natalia did a great job. My boys were not super social but they took on the challenge each day. Harley n Thor were super happy and well fed. I received photos each day setting me at ease. I hope to use again.”
“We had a drop-in visit with Marina, who is going to be house sitting for us and our two babies next weekend. She was promptly on time, very nice to talk with and presented herself as very responsible and dependable. I have no worries with her watching our little ones. Thanks!”

“David Castillo is an exceptional pet sitter who provided outstanding care for my seven year old dog. He was dependable, friendly, and demonstrated a remarkable rapport with my dog. Throughout my time away, David kept me informed about my dog’s well-being, which gave me peace of mind. It is reassuring to travel knowing that my dog is in capable hands. David has looked after my dog on several occasions, and each experience has been positive for both of us. I prefer having my dog cared for at home rather than boarding him in a facility with other dogs and I appreciate that I found someone I can trust to take care of him while I am away. I wholeheartedly recommend David and will continue to utilize his services.”
