“Max was so thoughtful when looking after our dogs. They had a great time and all their different needs were catered for. Max kept us updated with photos and was careful to ensure all had a great stay, and we were able to relax, knowing that our dogs were in 'good hands'. We'd highly recommend using Max as our dog sitter.”
“These two are so caring and fantastic. Melissa and Sebastian so knowledgeable and clearly devoted to achieving the best for the dogs under their care. I’m so glad to have found them and am definitely looking forward to continuing to bring my pup back for their boarding and training services. I had an initial meet & greet with them before boarding Onyx and they were so personable and attentive to every concern and question I had. My dog is rather high energy, but he got along great with all of their pups and they sent me photos and videos daily. I could see Onyx’s tail raise and him start to prance and chase with their little pack. I think this is actually the most tuckered out he’s been from a doggy daycare-type situation 🤗 safe to say he had a blast and I highly recommend the services of Melissa & Sebastian. 🐾❤️🐾”
“Lauren is great! She is super friendly and was very attentive with our 2 dogs. You can tell she truly enjoys pets and she checked in with us as requested. The dogs were happy (and surprisingly clean) when we came to pick them up. There’s plenty of room for the dogs to run around out back and I feel like Lauren gave them the same amount of love we would. Highly recommend!”
“My experience with Nadia watching my dog was wonderful! Jade seemed so happy and comfortable there, and I could tell she really enjoyed her stay. She even made a new friend with Nadia’s dog 🐶❤️ I truly appreciate the care and attention Nadia gave her. I will definitely be using Nadia again in the future.”
“John and Alice are a lovely couple that provided amazing care for our dog! They provided numerous updates throughout the day, quick to respond, showered our dog with love and attention and he was calm and comfortable in their home. I highly recommend considering John and Alice for your care request😊”
“Communicated throughout my dogs stay, made us feel like Pepper was safe and happy. I highly recommend and im grateful for her to watch our dog when previous sitter fell through. Will rebook for future care!”
“Elizabeth was kind and professional. She kept us updated on Akira's progress during the three days she had her via pictures and text messages. She provided a loving family environment for Akira.”
“Really lovely person, so great with dogs. I really appreciated the updates and how my pup got on. My pup really seemed to enjoy herself and sulked a bit when we got home. Just showed how much of a great time she had. Definitely recommend.”
“Rocket loves going to Mellysa’s and playing with her sweet puppies! She sends the best updates, and obviously goes above and beyond to care for Rocket. She gives me peace of mind!”
“Highly recommend Josian! My pup stayed with him while we were away, he sent pictures everyday kept me informed which was amazing of him . My pup was well taken care of and I felt so happy to have found someone so caring an attentive. Thank you!!”
“Kyle was great with my dog, Byron! He sent me pictures throughout the day and was really flexible when I wanted to pick my dog up early. :) He let me know another dog would be there and took the time to introduce Byron properly so they could be besties. I was nervous leaving my old man for the day, but I felt much better knowing he was with Kyle and having a nice time. Will definitely use Kyle again, and recommend him for your pups too.”
About: I have a lot of education with dogs. In high school I attended a Scroc Pet boarding class and also went to Animal Behavior College. I worked at Pet Boarding and Spa in Lomita, California. I volunteer at the Lancaster Animal Shelter where I have fostered puppies that were underaged and bottle fed them and potty trained them. I am very familiar with humane animal restraint. I am familiar with all dog breeds . I have taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have distributed medicine to dogs often. I tend to take care of animals with all my heart, and love them within seconds of meeting them and would do anything for them. I believe I am the best choice for your pets needs.
“Zoe did a fantastic job with Coco - sent pics and updates to keep us posted during our trip. She has a very friendly pup who kept Coco company and they were fast friends! Thanks Zoe, we will definitely use her again!!”
“Liliana took amazing care of my dog, Brownie, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her dedication, professionalism, and kindness. From the very start, she showed genuine warmth and a true love for animals, immediately putting Brownie (and me!) at ease. She went above and beyond in every way—making sure Brownie was well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away. It was clear that she treated Brownie like her own dog, giving him not just attention, but real companionship. When I returned, Brownie was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, trustworthy, and caring, and I’m truly grateful to have found Liliana. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Monica took really good care of my fur baby for 12 days. She is very good at communicating and sent me pictures throughout my trip. I was at peace and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for 33 years. Including but not limited to walking, feeding, hygiene care and administrating multiple medicines. Familiar with seizures as well.

About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.

“I highly recommend Janneth. She took very good care of my two cats with twice daily visits while I was away on a week long business trip. She came for an initial meet & greet and took the time to learn what needed to be done, including how to operate my two Litter Robots. She is very reliable and very good with animals. My cats loved her! Also, I really appreciated how well she took care of my house and cleaning up any messes the cats made.”
“We absolutely loved Monica! She took care of our sweet kitties for 2 weeks, dropping into our apartment once a day. She was very descriptive in her check ins and took lots of photos, which was very comforting to us as it was the longest we had left them alone. She also took care of them and managed a crisis when our AC was out in the apartment on some very hot days. She connected with our timid kitty very well. She went above and beyond. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Andrew was great & I’ll definitely book again! I have 3 cats & not only did he easily handle 3 cats, but I have a senior cat that needed meds, a crazy hyperactive kitten, and a Savannah cat. Andrew was very responsive and communicated great & was flexible on timings for drop ins. Andrew also handled the unexpected events great - my Savannah cat had a minor injury & the kitten destroyed some things. So all around Andrew was great & i definitely recommend him!”
“Vanessa came on time and taking care of my cat as much as she can. She is definitely a great pet sitter. However, I decided to get help from my neighbor who offered me their help during my trip to overseas.”

“Melissa and her husband are very friendly people and you can tell talking to them that they know about dogs. As a dog parent that is very important but also comforting to know when leaving my dog with a sitter especially if it's overnight. Well I have already used their services twice and I'm very happy. Duke seems pretty happy too when he goes there as not only do they take good care of him but they also have 3 dogs so he has buddies to run around and play with. I highly recommend Melissa to any dog parent wanting to find a good, caring dogsitter to leave your pup with when you have to go somewhere for an extended period. I know I plan to use her services again. Good job Melissa!”
“Oh my goodness! My super active puppy loved staying with Robin and his new friend Gigi! Robin made it easy to leave Chase and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of the fun he was having. Robin will be my go to dog sitter from here on out! Chase was tuckered out from playing and happy! Thank you Robin (and Gigi)!”
“Brian has been great. He makes it easy to drop off & pick up. He keeps us updated during each of Brinley’s stays, by sending pictures, videos, and texts on how our fur puppy dog is doing.”
“Maria and Michael were fantastic with our Cho-Cho. They made sure she felt as welcomed and comfortable as she could be, and that we were constantly updated with pictures and videos of her activities throughout her stay. Even their two fur babies, Luna and Abby, were also welcoming of Cho. Thank you so much!”
“Kyle and Teresa were great with our new puppy! They were flexible with the times I dropped her off and picked her up from “puppy daycare”. They followed my instructions and made sure my baby was well taken care of throughout the day! We will definitely use Kyle again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs. The past 10+ years I have cared for other peoples dogs. I understand how uneasy people feel about leaving their pooch in a Kennel, simply because their dog is their world and they would rather have their dog have home comforts whilst you are apart. Married but we have no children so am able to offer a calm environment for those dogs that are mature or nervous of bangs and loud noises. Likewise I have the time and energy for those dogs that need a little more play time. I have a neutered schnoodle that is mature enough to chill but also enjoys a play. I work part time from home. So I am able to offer your pooch a lot of time and love, be it walks or just company. I have an enclosed, secure garden, mainly walled with gated access which is locked. It is completely private. It is not a large garden, but it certainly offers a dog enough space to stretch their legs, chase a ball or just chill on the patio.

I have several availability for pet care, for the night I only have availability for cats since I have eight cats and I cannot accept dogs for sleeping, however for walking I have availability from 2:30 p.m. onwards. I have a large patio especially for the cats that we call catio, it has toys and some small logs that they can climb on. I really like dogs and I would be happy to walk them for as long as necessary, we can also run or play.
About: I love them as if they're my own. I believe love is the best reassurance you can give your pets . Love them unconditionally just like they love us ! My dogs are the happiest dogs in this planet. I walked my dogs daily plus they have a fenced yard to play in with all their relatives. I spoil my dogs with treats , kisses and lots of petting. Dogs just want to have fun and that's what we do at my house fun all day. The only problem is the dogs sometimes want to stay which is okay for the longer over nighters. Let's see if we are all a match. We haven't had a problem yet and I don't see any on the horizon. My house is their house!
About: PLEASE READ - Notice: All meet and greets are required for new potential clients. Meet and greets aren’t necessary for recurring clients. But if your dog is new to us, we will have to conduct a meet and greet. My pup is shy and needs a bit of encouragement to get used to a new friend! These must be done a couple days prior to the boarding is booked. I will not be accepting large or medium dogs unless I’ve already had them before, or that I’m positive there will be no issues between your pups and mine. With that being said, meet and greets are must for potential clients! Thank you in advance. I've grown up with Dogs my entire life, and there's not a dog I haven't met that didn't like me. I have babysat dogs, boarded them, and owned many throughout my life who have always been well cared for. I can do almost anything required, including bathing and long walks. I am unable to work a full-time job because of a medical condition, but with flexible hours I can manage to work around the flare-ups and be able to do what needs to be done. I have alot of downtime on my hands, and need a preoccupation to consume some of it, and with dogs that's perfect because I can manage to work it easily. I have a fenced in yard that is perfectly safe for all my dogs. I give my boy walks at least twice a day if not once. I feed him, I give him baths regularly, and I play with him. I make sure he has water constantly and access to the yard. I can do all these things in the client's home as well if needed or asked of me. This is my fulltime job so I'm available always and will mostly be at home to take care of the pups! They will never be left unattended or unsupervised at any time! My yard is fenced and I let the dogs out frequently. They never stay outside due to extreme heat. I will feed them as requested and they will always have water available on hand!

“Shannon was amazing. As a first-timer for getting a dog walker, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She gave my dog tons of love, long walks, and even cleaned his bowl and mat which was above and beyond in my opinion. I can tell that my dog is extremely excited to see her every time she comes over, and I absolutely love that! Shannon also sends tons of pictures and videos during the walk. 10/10, my dog walker for all my needs now.”
About: My wife, Mia, and I have dealt with many different pet personalities and genuinely care about their needs. We aim to give your four-legged friends the attention they deserve. We also believe that all pets act a certain way for a reason, and shouldn't be yelled at, or treated badly if they aren't 'easy-going' or 'social'. Personally, my love for pets started when I got my first dog as five years old. Named him Rocky after the boxer, Rocky Balboa. Unfortunately, he passed away two years ago from old age. He was blind, but he still recognized my voice...which was pretty amazing. Rocky showed me that a dog could truly be a man's best friend. I pledge to give the upmost care to your best friend. My wife is pregnant and often at home as my work schedule changes. So we will have plenty of time to play, walk, and give your pet the love they need while you’re away. We will carefully review your instructions in order to provide the best and safest environment for your pet(s). My services will be provided at a level that gives you and your pet maximum comfort.

“These two are so caring and fantastic. Melissa and Sebastian so knowledgeable and clearly devoted to achieving the best for the dogs under their care. I’m so glad to have found them and am definitely looking forward to continuing to bring my pup back for their boarding and training services. I had an initial meet & greet with them before boarding Onyx and they were so personable and attentive to every concern and question I had. My dog is rather high energy, but he got along great with all of their pups and they sent me photos and videos daily. I could see Onyx’s tail raise and him start to prance and chase with their little pack. I think this is actually the most tuckered out he’s been from a doggy daycare-type situation 🤗 safe to say he had a blast and I highly recommend the services of Melissa & Sebastian. 🐾❤️🐾”
“Communicated throughout my dogs stay, made us feel like Pepper was safe and happy. I highly recommend and im grateful for her to watch our dog when previous sitter fell through. Will rebook for future care!”
“Elizabeth was kind and professional. She kept us updated on Akira's progress during the three days she had her via pictures and text messages. She provided a loving family environment for Akira.”
“Really lovely person, so great with dogs. I really appreciated the updates and how my pup got on. My pup really seemed to enjoy herself and sulked a bit when we got home. Just showed how much of a great time she had. Definitely recommend.”
“Carole was a blessing to find. She watched our dog for an entire week with no issues and every few days she communicated with us by sending us a pic of our furry baby. She has a beautiful outdoor area for dog sitting and has lots of knowledge with dogs. We ended up not having enough food for our dog and she went out and bought a bag for him and we reimbursed her via Zell. She also gave us really good tips on how to train our puppy. My family recommends her and we'll definitely use her again.”
“Mackenzie really provides a second home for your pup to feel comfortable and loved. It provided peace of mind knowing that I was leaving my pupper in the hands of someone that truly cares about their wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and friendly host to keep your pet for a bit.”
“Kyle was great with my dog, Byron! He sent me pictures throughout the day and was really flexible when I wanted to pick my dog up early. :) He let me know another dog would be there and took the time to introduce Byron properly so they could be besties. I was nervous leaving my old man for the day, but I felt much better knowing he was with Kyle and having a nice time. Will definitely use Kyle again, and recommend him for your pups too.”
“After our meet and greet with Emily and Mowgli we felt good about leaving Luna with them for an overnight stay. The stay went perfectly. Luna was well cared for and we felt comfortable that Luna was in good hands! Have already rebooked for another stay.”
About: I have a lot of education with dogs. In high school I attended a Scroc Pet boarding class and also went to Animal Behavior College. I worked at Pet Boarding and Spa in Lomita, California. I volunteer at the Lancaster Animal Shelter where I have fostered puppies that were underaged and bottle fed them and potty trained them. I am very familiar with humane animal restraint. I am familiar with all dog breeds . I have taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have distributed medicine to dogs often. I tend to take care of animals with all my heart, and love them within seconds of meeting them and would do anything for them. I believe I am the best choice for your pets needs.
“Zoe did a fantastic job with Coco - sent pics and updates to keep us posted during our trip. She has a very friendly pup who kept Coco company and they were fast friends! Thanks Zoe, we will definitely use her again!!”
“I immediately felt so comfortable when I walked into their house, I knew my pup would be safe there. They even made her a little blanket fort because they noticed she's skittish and likes being underneath things. So sweet!”
“Chloe's stay with Heather was refreshing. She sent me pictures and a video almost on a daily basis to show me how well Chloe was adjusting with me being away. I will definitely use Heather again!”
“Anna and her family did a great job caring for my pups. She sent frequent photos and videos that put me at ease. I could see their personalities shine in the videos which helped me feel confident that they felt safe with Anna. They loved playing outside and I’m thankful they had that space to do that.”
About: I bring years of hands on experience in the realm of canine care and training. My responsibilities have included grooming, nurturing and raising litters of puppies, and attentive care of their mothers. I also have learned my dog training skills through independent work and research, and collaborating with professional trainers. I am currently working full time as a dog trainer and walker! I love spending time with animals and understand owners have busy schedules and need extra help sometimes! I have a well socialized German Shepherd that can be the perfect pal for your pet. If I need to take them somewhere, I have a crate in the back of my vehicle along with dog seat belts, and I am always prepared with treats, water, extra leashes, and toys for when we are on the go.

About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.
