“David, Jeanette & family took such great care of our dog during our trip. They were consistent, loving and caring and have a great environment for dogs at their home. Thank you!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience! My pup (Ace) is an extremely anxious guy but upon meeting Leigh I could see she had such a warm, calm personality and that he would be in great hands. She sent me pictures and messages daily which I really appreciated. Leigh is extremely flexible with drop off/pick up times. She has a lovely home with a large outside area that Ace could safely explore. It was so nice to take a vacation knowing that Ace was being cared for by someone that truly loves dogs. I will be using Leigh for all future trips. Book her now!!”
“Darylee and her family were so good to our pups! I’m so glad they were able to stay in such a wonderful place with such great people. We’re so thankful they were able to help us out and take in our babies during the holidays.”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Jennifer is a God send! She took such great care of Buddy while we went on vacation (a long one). She administered meds to our senior dog and definitely gave him some good lovin! Totally kept us up to date by sending daily pics and I love how her whole family loved on him as well! Definitely will go to her again when we need a sitter for our Buddy. Thank you so much, Jennifer!”
“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Sarah and her daughter were wonderful!!!!! They kept us updated with pictures of our baby. She seemed happy and at ease in the pictures. We highly recommend Sarah and will refer people.”
“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”

“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better host for my pups! Bailey took the time to ask questions and accommodate for what would work best for my dogs’ needs. She also made sure my dogs had plenty of time outside in her private yard which I’m sure my dogs loved. To top it off she sent me daily pictures and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Bailey!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Alice & Micah! Right from the meet-and-greet, they made us feel comfortable and reassured that our pup would be in loving, capable hands. We recently moved to San Diego and were looking for a pet sitter when one of our friends recommended them. Before an upcoming long trip, we booked an overnight stay to see how our fur baby would do, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Alice and her family took incredible care of our dog, keeping her happy, safe, clean, and so well loved throughout the stay. It was clear how much affection and attention they gave her. Alice also shared photos and updates throughout the stay, which we truly appreciated. The communication and care gave us complete peace of mind, and we knew right away that our pup would be with a loving family during our travels. Our fur baby came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for! We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, responsible, and kind. We highly recommend Alice & Micah to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“My dog, Scout, has stayed with May & Marc a few times and they always take great care of him. They send pictures/ updates everyday and Scout seems to like returning for the next visit. Scout enjoys playing with their dog Pepper!”
“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”

“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”
“I highly recommend Jennifer to help with your pets. we had to go to the east coast recently and was a bit nervous just having our older cat boarded. Jennifer, came twice a day to care for our cat providing updates and her status as well as pictures. We were able to keep our cat in our home and our cat was much better off for it.”
“Paris is wonderful! Her home is very clean and organized. She has a bunch of cat posts and places for them to hide and play. She sent me pictures of my cat 2x a day without having to ask, and made sure he was loved and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was in great shape and I could immediately tell he had been well taken care of while we were gone. Paris even sent him home with a kitty goodie bag!! Thank you Paris for taking great care of Kevin!! We now know who to call when we need a cat sitter. Thanks again!! ?”

About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.
“What a great family we had watching our pups today! Jack and Scout had a fabulous time getting all kinds of love and attention, the enclosed backyard was fantasticly huge, and our dogs were instantly comfortable with the people and the space. Darylee and I had great communication from start to finish. This was a great experience for our first time using a Rover!”

If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

About: Hey there! I’m a local college student currently studying to become an RN, and I’m home for the summer bringing fresh energy and a genuine passion for pet care. I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from horses and donkeys to our beloved dogs, cats, and everything in between!

Currently, I am home for the summer looking to further my experience in the pet sitting business. My scheduling gives me lots of flexibility and opportunities to take care of your furry friends whenever possible. I am a very outdoorsy person and you will often find me outside enjoying sunshine by running or hiking with my dogs. Whether it’s a long walk or some playtime in the park, it’s a great way to keep your pets happy and healthy. I believe it is necessary to respect your home and maintain your pet's routine, including feeding schedules and favorite activities, to minimize stress. I send pictures and text updates ensuring you are well informed and aware of your pups activity. Additionally, I personalize each pet's playtime. Whether it’s extra cuddles for a shy pup or more active playtime for an energetic one, I know it is important for the well being and safety of each dog to be aware of their personal needs and preferences.

“Our two dogs were happy and worn out after a half-hour walk with Belinda. She's scheduled to dog sit for us in a few weeks, and we're very confident she'll take great care of them.”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a Dog Mom. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9.

I currently don’t have a 9-5 job, I’m a homeschool mom so my time is flexible. The only service I can offer for now is drop-ins since I no longer have a fenced yard.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Lily provided for our beloved pup, Hazel! Lily's patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference in Hazel's walks. She took her time, ensuring Hazel felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The detailed report card Lily provided after each walk was impressive, giving us a clear picture of Hazel's adventures. We're so grateful to have found Lily and can't wait to have her as our go-to for weekly walks. She truly is a dog lover's dream come true! Five paws up!”

“We had Kristen house sit for us and take care of our Golden Retriever. She was great - good communication in the planning stages and flexible with our plans. When we were gone she sent lots of photos and updates, which we appreciated. On our return, Kristen had stripped the bed and washed her bedding. Wow! We felt completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

“Darylee and her family were so good to our pups! I’m so glad they were able to stay in such a wonderful place with such great people. We’re so thankful they were able to help us out and take in our babies during the holidays.”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Jennifer is a God send! She took such great care of Buddy while we went on vacation (a long one). She administered meds to our senior dog and definitely gave him some good lovin! Totally kept us up to date by sending daily pics and I love how her whole family loved on him as well! Definitely will go to her again when we need a sitter for our Buddy. Thank you so much, Jennifer!”

“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”

“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better host for my pups! Bailey took the time to ask questions and accommodate for what would work best for my dogs’ needs. She also made sure my dogs had plenty of time outside in her private yard which I’m sure my dogs loved. To top it off she sent me daily pictures and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Bailey!”
“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”
“Our dog had a great time at Martin and Crystal's house in their huge backyard and played well with their pet dogs. We received photos and videos and they only had positive feedback. We will definitely use them again!”
“Absolute Best. Our girls loved their vacay and we loved all the updates! Nate and Ray were very responsive with messages and proactive with keeping us updated. We flew out of town for several days and had no doubt in our minds that our girls were well-taken care of. They have an awesome backyard with ample space for the dogs to chill out and/or run around. We're pretty sure our girls despised us for taking them home! It was very comforting knowing that our girls were in great hands with their wonderful family. Without question, we will definitely be booking with them for future travels.”
“My baby Amehlo is 11 years old and Ive never left her with someone but my son was getting married and I couldnt bring her. Im so happy it was Jenny who I left her with because it all turned out fantastic. Jenny kept me updated with pics which helped me stay focused on my son and the wedding. When I picked her up I could tell by the way she was acting that she had a really good time and that Jenny was nothing but loving with her. Bonus: Im going to start bringing Amehlo to Jenny to spend the day like once a week or every couple weeks! Thanks Jenny!”
