“Sarah was lovely to work with! I could tell that my dog was happy and comfortable and made many doggy friends while staying at her home. She sent me update photos each day while we were away on vacation which really put my mind at ease, knowing that he wasn’t stressed out. I highly recommend Sarah for your dog boarding services! 10 out of 10.”


“Our lab, Bodie, seemed to really enjoy his first trial stay. He’ll be back again soon for a longer visit and I’m sure he’ll look forward to seeing all the kids again.”

“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”

“This was my first time leaving my pup behind with a stranger so I was super skeptical but Nelson and his family did great. He has great communication and compassion for animals, he sent me pictures throughout her stay and would message me back in a timely manner. He helped train on areas my furball needs improvement in and took her on daily walks. Thank you for all you do!! I will definitely be rebooking.”

“This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.”

“Taylor provided excellent care for our corgi during our stay in Yosemite. She was highly communicative, sharing pictures, updates, and asking thoughtful questions. We greatly appreciate Taylor’s great care for our dog.”

About: Babysat for both animals and children, also work as a Pediatric Medical assistant, love to take them out with me especially on my nightly walks and get all our energy out of our system. I am pretty open since I only work three days a week randomly. Just let me know what days you need and we can coordinate. I live in a 2 story house soon moving to a 1 floor house with a huge grass backyard and a huge fence. I’m very big on building a trust system with the animals I babysit especially once with a bad background. They free roam in my bedroom living room and backyard. I go on 30mins- 1 hour walks normally. I love playing games as well with them as well and take them to meet my friends pets too.
“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”

“Ximadra was amazing. Super sweet and communicated well sent me photos and kept me updated on his schedule. I picked up mg boy and he was sooooo excited which tells me he had a great time. Definitely will be booking again in the future. ?”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
“This was the first time ever leaving our Riley with anybody other than family. We were very nervous, but Kimberly eased our anxiety right away with her gentle and inviting nature toward us and Riley. She took great care of him and kept us updated with many pictures and videos. It allowed us to enjoy our trip even more knowing that he was in good hands.”


About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

“Tundra had a great stay with Ashlee! Tundra loved the backyard area and the fenced wide-open area where she could run to her heart's content. We'll definitely be using Ashlee again next time we need boarding for Tundra.”

“We made our booking on very short notice and Eve was kind enough to accept. We are very grateful for her daily Rover report on our sweet Jenna as well as it seemed she even made her a puzzle that I had briefly mentioned that I would make ahead of time but was not able to as time got away from me. Thank you, Eve!”


“I met Jasmine a few days before she was to sit with Lola. She was very friendly and put my mind at ease. When Jasmine was with Lola she had updated me through text, photos, and video which I truly appreciated! If possible, she will be my forever sitter for Lola!”

“Vicki was fantastic! Always on time, followed every instruction we left for our cats perfectly, and communicated frequently. We will definitely be using Vicki again the next time we head out of town. Thanks Vicki!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with an intuitive understanding of furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Having owned cats my entire life, I've picked up a knack for cat whisperering. I know how to read a feline's cues, respect their boundaries, and quickly earn the trust of even the shyest or sassiest cats. I also bring professional dog training experience to the table. allowing me to read your dogs body language and happily reinforce your puppers good habits while you’re away. Beyond cats and dogs, my heart has always had room for critters of all kinds. Thanks to my time working in a pet store and years of loving my own birds, reptiles, spiders, and scorpions. I know how to adapt my care to make any pet feel safe and understood. Every animal deserves a gentle hand and a comforting presence. I can't wait to treat your family like my own.

“Kirsten did a great job! I met with her briefly beforehand, she was polite and attentive as I walked her through everything. During her visiting she checked off all of my requests and sent pictures as confirmation. Lastly she was great with my cat, playing with her and giving her treats. Would hire her again, fully trust her with my cat.”

“Nelson took great care of my kitten and kept me updated on he activity throughout the day. Nelson also provided my little man with his medication, and when I went to pick my kitten up early, Nelson was helpful and kind with getting me a refund for the days my pet did not stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”

“Nelson did such a great job watching my fur baby! I am super protective over my 3 year old Siberian Husky & Nelson provided picture updates of my dog throughout the stay. His home is a very safe space & he allowed my dog to feel comfortable& at home. My dog was so happy AND tired out! He wasn’t thirsty or hungry, he was well loved & cared for and received the exercise he needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone & definitely will be coming back!!”

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”


“Christy and Michael were great with Cody, and I would happily book with them again. I appreciated that their first message was asking about Cody’s vaccination records, which immediately showed they care about the safety of the pets they watch. Communication was excellent from the start, and the detailed arrival instructions they sent before drop-off made finding their property easy. Their home sits on a beautiful piece of land with farm animals and plenty of space. The last part of the drive is a dirt road and a little bumpy, but completely manageable and worth it. Christy was friendly and welcoming when we arrived, and Cody seemed comfortable and well cared for. Pickup was smooth, and he was relaxed in their home with the other dogs and kittens. Overall, a very positive experience and I would trust them with Cody again.”

“I want to thank Karissa for the excellent care she gave my dogs since due to a last minute change of plans my family and I had to look for someone to leave my dogs with for a few hours and Karissa was very attentive in responding to me very quickly and confirming her availability. This was the first time someone took care of my dogs outside my home, and I was a little nervous about it. But Karissa was very accommodating, attentive and responsible at all times. She always responded to my messages very politely and sent photos of my dogs. She has her dog but he is so lovely and calm with other dogs. My dogs ended the day very relaxed. I highly recommend Karissa.”

“Taylor was great! We left our girl with her for the day while we explored Yosemite. Taylor has a nice, clean home with her playful dog Suka, a couple of cats, and her sweet child! She followed her schedule notes closely and sent photo updates through the day. Thanks for keeping Nani comfortable! Would recommend for day sitting 👍”

“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

About: Hi, my name is Ericka. I’ve been working with animals in one way or another for the last 14 years. I started volunteering for animal shelters & walking dogs, then I took it a step further & started walking dogs for friends while they worked. From their I started dog sitting when friends would go out of town. So now I’m trying this out, see what people I can help out & what dogs I meet. When your dog is with me they will have my full attention. They’ll leave my care exhausted from all the games we’ll play & ready to go home to you. When your fur baby is with me you won’t have to worry what they’re up to or if they’re ok. I’ve got you. I’m currently working part time from home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your animal. No matter the service your pet will have my full attention. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup so your dog will have room to play and a playmate to keep him/her from getting lonely.

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 6-8years, ranging in groups of 2-50. As a kennel technician I was responsible for maintaining a leveled space for everyone to play and exercise or even relax. I do have experience in medication administration, oral, topical, rectum, shots. I have also a year of being a veterinary assistant which is what I'm currently pursuing and absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the Central Valley and I'm flexible. I have school online for Veterinary Technology and have started school for LVN as well. While doing a house sitting or drop-in, I always greet the animals check food and water bowls, make my way to the yard and ALWAYS check the yard before letting out animals. I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.

“Sarah was lovely to work with! I could tell that my dog was happy and comfortable and made many doggy friends while staying at her home. She sent me update photos each day while we were away on vacation which really put my mind at ease, knowing that he wasn’t stressed out. I highly recommend Sarah for your dog boarding services! 10 out of 10.”


“Our lab, Bodie, seemed to really enjoy his first trial stay. He’ll be back again soon for a longer visit and I’m sure he’ll look forward to seeing all the kids again.”

“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”

“This was my first time leaving my pup behind with a stranger so I was super skeptical but Nelson and his family did great. He has great communication and compassion for animals, he sent me pictures throughout her stay and would message me back in a timely manner. He helped train on areas my furball needs improvement in and took her on daily walks. Thank you for all you do!! I will definitely be rebooking.”

“This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.”

“Taylor provided excellent care for our corgi during our stay in Yosemite. She was highly communicative, sharing pictures, updates, and asking thoughtful questions. We greatly appreciate Taylor’s great care for our dog.”

“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

“Tundra had a great stay with Ashlee! Tundra loved the backyard area and the fenced wide-open area where she could run to her heart's content. We'll definitely be using Ashlee again next time we need boarding for Tundra.”
