“Andy was so very sweet! Our little Oso is very shy and timid, plus a little scared of people, seems he felt very comfortable at Andy's house. We received updates with pictures and felt very at-ease knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely recommend and re-hire him! Thank you!!!”
“Lauren was wonderful with my dog, Charlie - she accommodated his special needs and was loving and caring with him. I always know he has had good care when I come home and he’s excited to see me but is also calm and centered. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Monique is always fantastic! She treats Lucy like part of her family. I get pics throughout the day and can tell that she is well taken care of. She even threw in some training, which is definitely needed. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Kambry was very responsive and was able to watch for our dog Goose on short notice for the evening. Goose can be uneasy and reactive, but Kambry was able to handle everything super well with care and understanding. She is definitely an experienced sitter and I recommend her to anyone searching in the SLO area!”
“Tara and Jed were fantastic! They took lots of photos of Clem, our dog, and updated us on all the fun adventures they had with her. I will be asking them for help in the future!”
“Miki was great! I would highly recommend her. I really like that she boarded my dog only, as she has two small dogs of her own. Miki gave me daily updates on how Annie was doing and sent me lots of pictures and videos through the Rover app. I would definitely use her again. Her two young daughters and husband were very sweet too! They took really good care of my precious girl.”

“Danielle was great with both of our dogs, and patient with Dudley’s anxiety at the beginning of his stay. Reassuring with updates and photos. One way to clearly tell that it went well is how easily they settled back in immediately at home.”
“Our dog Bentley had such a wonderful time with Shantal and her dog Kala. They went on fun hikes and walks each day which was perfect for my high energy dog. Shantal was a great communicator listening to all the details of our dog's care. I felt confident Bentley was in good hands while we were away. She sent us fun photos of their time out and about. I think Bentley had a blast! Thanks so much Shantal and Kala! We look forward to having Bentley stay with you again!”

“Kara was outstanding and accepted my last minute request for day care. My pup seemed to really enjoy her time there! She must have been playing all day because she was completely wiped when we got home, that’s how I know she had a good time though!”
“Josie was great! My dog immediately felt comfortable when I dropped him off. She gave updates throughout the day and was always quick to respond. I highly recommend her and would come back again.”

The dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention. I would absolutely book with Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”
“Katie is amazing! She had a wonderful first day with our pup Jack. She is very warm and professional, and an obvious dog-lover! Jack felt right at home and he loved spending the day with her and sweet Sumi. Katie was very responsive and she sent pics and updates throughout the day. She took Jack out for walks and treated him like he was her own fur-baby. We will definitely be using Katie again for watching Jack. We all loved her!”

Aiming to meet their each and every need with tender care. No request is too big or too small when it comes to your beloved companions. With a special expertise in caring for geriatric dogs aged 12(+) older, as well as cats, I am committed to meeting and exceeding the expectations of my clients. Your pets deserve the best, and I am fully supportive of that. I have about 8 clients I house/pet sit when they travel and I just absolutely have a passion for pet caregiving. I currently am a student, I used to work for the state preschools, and a nonprofit that services persons with developmental disabilities. Now,I am happy to be a registered behavioral therapist.

“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”
About: To stay busy as a child, I walked and house sat practically the entire neighborhood’s beloved pet. Summer days were filled with miles of dog walking adventures with a dedicated cabinet to keep the hundreds of house keys safe. Even now, as I begin grad school at Cal Poly, I can’t imagine my routine without it! Morning exercise, study breaks throughout the day, and evening walks are a perfect time for animal care sessions. Having a sister who is a vet, I am only a quick call away from an expert diagnosis if ever necessary. I have piece of mind knowing assistance is close and years of experience keeping animals happy and safe. I am currently enrolled in Cal Poly’s Master’s program for Biomedical Engineering, which is completely virtual this quarter and likely next. This allows for a very flexible schedule with frequent study breaks for pet walks or visits. The remote lessons even allow me to listen to lectures while with your pet in your home for extended pet company. My house is close to the bike path and terrace hill for the perfect pet excursion sure to leave them tired and happy. I love running to accommodate the high energy animals as well as the leisurely hike for those who are slowing down or prefer a casual sniff around.
“Though we live in Southern California, we have family all around the Central Coast, and we were so happy to find Rachel to help us with our sweet Luna while we attended a family event. Rachel's property is lovely and clean, with plenty of room for Luna to cruise around. It's also very securely fenced, so we felt so comfortable that Luna was in a nice and safe place. Thank you again to Rachel for your great help- for sure we will book again if needed during a future visit to the area! :-)”
“Sara was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She had excellent communication and when dropping her off I could tell she was in good hands. Everything went well and I would definitely book Sara again.”

“JOSH was great to work with. He was very prompt and also very flexible if a time needed to change on occasion. He and my dog, Shiloh, seem to bond quite well over the weeks that I needed JOSH‘s walking services. I highly recommend JOSH for taking care of your pet, without reservation.”
“Adrienne was amazing with Nyx. She was on time for picking up Nyx and walked her for an extra 15 minutes. Nyx got all her zoomies out and was an absolutely happy calm pup when she got home. Adrienne sent pictures and logged all Nyx’s bathroom breaks. I would highly recommend Adrienne for all your pet’s needs! 12/10!!!”
About: 7 years of hands-on daily dog care with my own dog, plus regular pet sitting for neighbors and friends: feedings, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Between classes, I’ve got a flexible schedule that works great for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I know how much routine matters to dogs, so I keep things consistent and send you photo/video updates every visit. Hi there! I’m Addyson a college student and dog mom of 7 years. Along the way I’ve become the go-to sitter for my neighbors and friends, covering everything from quick walks to full weeks of vacation coverage. Being a student keeps me flexible and full of energy, and honestly, dogs are my favorite study break. I light up around them and I treat every dog I watch like my own. I split my time between Frisco, TX and Orange County, CA, so I’m able to offer care in both spots. Whichever coast your pup is on, expect photo updates, a consistent routine, and a whole lot of love. Can’t wait to meet your dog — let’s set up a Meet & Greet! 🐶 When I’m caring for your pet in your home, your space and your pet’s safety are my top priorities. I stick to your exact routine, feeding times, walks, favorite toys, all of it, so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always double-check gates, doors, and locks before letting your dog out and make sure your home is just as secure when I leave as it was when I arrived. I keep things low-key and private while I’m there, no visitors, no broadcasting that your house is empty, and I send photo and video updates throughout every visit so you always know how things are going. If anything ever comes up, I make sure I have your vet’s info on hand and respond quickly. Whether I’m in Frisco or Orange County, you get the same level of care and attention in every home I step into.

I will always do my best to fit as much time to care for your pets in my schedule as needed and as we’ve discussed. I think it’s important to follow your pet’s routine as to keep them as comfortable as possible, whether it be a strict schedule for me to adhere to, or a casual go-with-the-flow kind of deal, I will always do what’s best for your pets.
