“Wen is amazing caretaker. I felt happy and at ease with having my cats with her. She made sure they were comfortable, loved, well fed and happy in their stay. Definitely getting her again in the future. Recommend to any pet parent.”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Ann took great care of my mom’s dog Crash while my mom was out of town, and Ann was able to accommodate us with only a few days notice. Crash seemed very happy with his stay. Definitely recommend Ann!”
“XingYuan was great!! All the updates with pictures and videos were awesome & I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her & happy! Will use her again in the future.”
“This was Michelle’s first visit with my busy kitty crew, and I felt comfortable, and knew they were In Good hands, the moment that I met with her. This was also a last minute booking, and Michelle was gracious and accommodating. Thank you for the care, and for making a last minute trip, possible for our family, Michelle.”
“A bit hard to review as there wasn’t much overlapping time to be with Memha. Her home is quite rural and surrounded by orchards with a large fenced yard so visually very appealing Memha and her husband were very sweet and volunteered to come into town to both pick up and return our dog back to us; very thoughtful! Our dog came home tired which we loved!”
“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”
“We left our old, spoiled little Sam for a few days and we were very happy! Lots of pictures were sent and great communication! Will definitely do it again. Sam was very comfortable and happy!”
“Achara is the best. Hudson has spent several long weekends with her now and he is more excited to see her and her family at drop off than to see us at pick up! A great sign that he feels right at home there. Achara is always really easy to communicate with, sending photos and updates throughout his stay - in fact most recently she helped us coordinate a last minute pickup as we were heading to the hospital to have a baby! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a loving home for our fur baby when we’re away.”
About: I ensure all the pets I sit have exercise, playtime, and good care. I have a dog park where they can play for hours. I have a 6 month old Golden Retriever and a 12 year old Labradoodle, so I have experience with younger and older dogs. I also have sufficient experience with cats after sitting my friends’ cats. I would be happy to sit for your furry friend! I’m a junior in college at The University of California, Davis. I’m enrolled in online summer courses with a flexible schedule. I’m open for overnight sits, weekday care, or walks throughout busy weeks. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.
About: I have been caring for my doodle since she was 8 weeks old—she is now 5 years old. I have five years of hands-on experience with her daily care, training, and exercise. I’m now looking to become a dog walker so I can continue working with animals while maintaining a flexible schedule as I study to become a nurse. I’m seeking part-time work that allows me to support my education while still giving attentive, reliable care to pets. I am currently studying to become a nurse, and in my spare time I’m looking for a flexible way to earn extra income. I have a 5-year-old doodle that I’ve cared for since she was 8 weeks old, so I have years of hands-on experience with daily walks and care. I would love to use that experience to start dog walking, and I’m also open to walking additional dogs at the same time. When walking dogs, I prioritize a safe and calm environment. I pay close attention to surroundings, use secure leash handling, and avoid risky situations such as overcrowded or unsafe areas. I am also mindful of each dog’s comfort level and energy so walks stay controlled and positive.
“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”
“Valerie is a caring and attentive pet sitter for our dog Cali. She gave Cali her medications on time and took her on daily walks. Valerie took great care of Cali, I really appreciated the daily pictures and prompt messages. I would definitely book Valerie to care for our pets.”
About: I am currently a student at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine to become a vet! I have had pets at home since elementary school including dogs, cats, and chickens. At home I play an integral role caring for each of my pets. My love for animals extends outside of the house as I look to work with animals professionally as a veterinarian. I have 8 years of experience volunteering and working at veterinary clinics. Through my work, I have learned to handle all kinds of breeds and temperaments. I am so excited to work with your pets and provide incredible service. Shoot me a message with any questions or requests and I will be sure to respond day-of. I am currently in my second year of vet school and will have openings most days at various times to care for all your dog's and/or cat's needs before, after, and between classes. I have previous experience as a veterinary assistant, which consisted of caring for pets, so this will just be an extension of the same care I provided in the animal hospital and the animals I care for in vet school. I am very comfortable tending to all the needs of your pets including walking, feeding, playing with, cleaning up after, and giving medications. I am confident in handling dogs and cats and will ensure their safety around other animals.
“Wow! Thank you so much, Yifang and Wing! Charlie has been through a lot. Before I adopted him, he had been surrendered to the shelter twice, so he gets very nervous and scared around new people. Yifang and Wing were absolute lifesavers. They were so patient with Charlie and took the time to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. They sent the cutest photos, took him on walks, and gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that by the time I got home, they really knew Charlie and his little personality. It was clear how much they cared for him. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I highly recommend you!”

About: My whole life I've had cats, so of course they're my favorite animal! I have 10 years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I also have extensive experience caring for my own cat with medical needs, and am willing to learn how to care for cats from all backgrounds.
“Rachel was very responsive, easy to work with, and great with our cats. She sent lots of pictures and videos so we were confident they were alright and in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
“Very kind and cared for my cat very well! Sent tons of photos and wrote about everything she did with my cat. She spent the whole thirty minutes with her which I appreciated. Made me feel happy that my cat was comfortable and being checked in on by her. Would definitely hire again, thank you :)”
“Jessica was the best! I had her watch my kitties for a couple days and just loved her daily updates with all of the pictures. (She takes fab pics btw, made Kale look like a little model😁) My cats were content and relaxed when I got back so I know they were in good hands. When she returned the key to me, she gave me a little package with the nicest note and some cat treats and a cat toy which was SO NICE of her!! Will definitely be booking again, thank you Jessica!”
“We came home to a clean house and very happy cats! Our sitter took great care of everything while we were away. Dina kept their water bowls clean and full, made sure they had wet food during her visits, and, most importantly, gave them plenty of love and attention. It was such a relief to come home to cats who were relaxed instead of upset that we’d been gone. We really appreciated the care she gave them and would happily book with Dina again.”
About: I love feline companions and as a cat mom I know the deep bond you form with your pets, and I have every intention of taking care of your kitties the way I would want my cat taken care of. My cat, Luke, is harness trained, clicker trained for tricks, and could play all day long! While that isn’t the case for every cat, I hope my care for Luke can make you feel confident for allowing me to care for yours 🐱
About: - Have socialized kittens and cats at shelters since 2016 - My 2 kitty masters back at home have me wrapped around their little paws and I'm sure yours would too :) - Able to administer subcutaneous injections to cats independently if your kitty needs it!
“Alana dropped in and took care of my cat while I was away. She followed instructions to play, feed, and clean the litter box. She also kept me inform for changes. My cat was very happy! Thank you.”
“Carmen took great care of our kitty while we were away! We received updates and photos for each visit and it was clear that our kitty was very comfortable with her :)”
“Luis took great care of our dogs! We needed a sitter last minute as all of our usual sitters were unavailable, and one of our dogs had a hurt paw and I didn't want to leave her in a kennel. He was very professional and communicated well, both before and during our trip. Most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. We would definitely book Luis again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life whether it comes to feeding, training, walking, and playing. I have also recently been taking care of senior dogs. Currently I am on summer break from school so I have a lot of time to be working and helping with furry family members for others. I can do whatever is needed in order to care for your pets as well as follow any detailed instructions you may give me to ensure your pets well-being.
About: I've cat sitted for cats with special needs, diets, and medications before. I've had veterinary experience with cats and can meet them where they're are. I've cat-sat for both kittens and elderly cats
About: I adopted my first cat Bowie when I was 20 and he truly changed my life for the better. Since adopting him I've worked full time for a year in an animal shelter, adopted another cat (Chibi), and fostered over 10 cats with my local shelter. I've fostered a wide range of cats ranging from 3 week old kittens that required syringe feeding, daily medications, and extensive weight tracking to senior cats in their golden years. I've also experienced caring for a hospice cat which required administering medication, food, and liquids through an E-tube. As a fellow cat mom with a passion for caring for animals, I can assure you I will give your furry family member the respect, attention, and love they deserve!

“Ally was so sweet and we could tell she really wanted Opal to be comfortable. We got lots of updates which we appreciated and would absolutely have Ally watch Opal again when we’re in town next!”
“I needed someone last minute for daycare for my dog. Lilly was very responsive and was able to pick up my request no problem, and Astro seemed like he had a great day with her. Would definitely book again.”
About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 2.5 year old daughter. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and children. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.
“Marya has been taking good care of Finley weekly since he was just a puppy. She is very patient with my high energy dog and he gets extremely excited every time we pull into her driveway area :)”
About: I've always liked to rescue animals and care for them from a young age. So lots of my family and friends would bring animals to me or trust me to petsit for them. I've not only cared for dogs and cats, but also turtles, toads, and a few birds. I'm currently solely attending classes so I have plenty of availability for your pets to always feel well cared for during their stay with me! I have a fenced patio, luckily there are a few pet friendly parks that surround me. I follow any instructions given for your pet care to a T since no one knows your pet like you do. I have a housemate, but she is just as loving to any animal brought in.
About: I have been around pets ever since I can remember and probably had around 10 in my life so far. I’ll be attentive, caring and sweet with your little friends, bringing them the comfort and calm they need when you’re not home ❤️ I’m currently a student at UC Davis with a part-time job, so I will be available for pet sitting every other day normally after 12pm (noon) I can easily find a space in your home where the pet feels more at comfort and I’ll act quickly and proactively when I notice something is needed.
“Kathleen is amazing! She is a shining example of someone that loves what she does and it shows. We had our meet & greet at the dog park and I was impressed with her right away. It seemed like she knew every dog there, their names & their owners names! My Georgia just loves her.”
“Valerie was amazing! We reached out just one day before we needed someone to watch our dog, Choco, and she was incredibly accommodating. She was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so much easier for us. Throughout Choco’s stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. We’re very grateful for the excellent care she gave Choco and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. We highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Sunshine and Shannon did a great job with our two boys. I had to go into work for few days and our dogs loved spending time with them and received lots of pets and walks. I appreciated the meet and greet, and all the updates and pictures during the day. I could tell my dogs were super comfortable spending time with them. This was the first time with Sunshine and Shannon and we’ll definitely be back!”
About: I'm a very responsible pet parent to my own senior Maltese. I can provide medication as necessary since I'm aware of the medical needs of my own. Not working at the moment and want to spend time with my dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would treat your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.

“Zihui helped me so much as I'm recovering from a broken ankle and leg and needed someone to walk my high energy German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois puppy while my husband was out of town. She came and was great with him immediately and walked him for an hour every day for the entire week so that I could focus on work. She told me how each walk went and just very kind and pleasant. I definitely recommend Zihui, thank you!”
“Siiri was so great with our dog! She was patient and encouraging, and somehow handled all his idiosyncrasies with grace. She was also easy to communicate and schedule with. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Faith Tupin and I am a substitute Paraeducator in the Davis school district, babysitter and grad school student. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sheep. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter off and on for a few years and was in 4-H for many years. I have experience with extremely large dogs to tea cup chihuahuas, three legged dogs, dogs needing end of life care (medication administration, pet inhalers), puppies who haven’t been house trained and even service animals. I was taught how to do CPR on dogs even though i’ve never had to put my skills to use. I am active and I love long walks. I am also very clean and will make sure your house looks great when I leave. I currently am working part time and am also able to make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible and take on additional responsibilities. I always talk to the owners to ensure that I am following their routine and keeping an eye out for any bad habits the dog may have- chewing on cords, digging by fences. I am aware of what food is toxic to dogs and never leave it out. I avoid other dogs on walks and look out for unknown food on the sidewalks that they may be tempted to eat.
“XingYuan (Cindy) was amazing! She was very spontaneous, responsive, highly communicative, respectful, friendly, accommodating, informative, and above all, wonderful with our two pups. We will happily use her services again and would highly recommend her!”
“Nora was really kind and found some time for a last minute request from me. She’s been extremely responsive and responsible. Anika loves her! Will definitely keep her on my go-to list for the futyre”
“I usually walk my Dalmatian every day but I got an injury and cannot do it for several weeks. So Emme-Kate has taken over until I get better! She is 100% reliable and prompt and gets a very brisk walk in for my dog every day. Thank you Emme-Kate!”
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.
“It is so heartening to know that the pups were getting some quality time out of the house while we’re away. Thanks Carmen for your professionalism, it is plain the dogs enjoyed the company! Paul”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of pets for family and friends for almost a decade! Including: dogs (big and small), and cats (old and young). I can feed and water your pets, administer medicine, clean up after them, and provide loving attention and play. I currently have 2 precious cats and would treat yours as if they were one of my own. I work part-time, and with advanced noticed I can choose my workdays/work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can care for your pets in your home/yard. I’m comfortable with pets that free roam the house/yard as well as with those who need to be crated and let out or taken on walks.
“Esmerilda took great care of Finn. Prompt and very good communication. She was very patient and caring. The feedback I received from Finns dog friend's were all positive. I would highly recommend Esmerilda on any dog services.”
About: I’m an attentive and patient sitter with experience caring for both cats and dogs, including shy, energetic, and sensitive pets. I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel safe and comfortable. I have cat sitter for friends, joined a friend on dog sitting trips via trusted house sitters, and also provided dog care in Davis locally. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide attentive and consistent care. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain routines and minimize stress.
About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet experience, I have developed a deep understanding and profound love for animals of all kinds. My journey began with adopting my first dog, a lively mixed breed, which ignited my passion for animal welfare. Over the years, my home has been a sanctuary for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and even reptiles (upon occasion). I work from home most of the week, so I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of other working professionals that are looking for a reliable, passionate pet sitter to take their fur babies on walks (or runs) while keeping them within their familiar environment. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to welcome any pets in my house. I have fur babies of my own that I do not wish to upset their home life.
About: I’ve owned a menagerie of pets since I was 12 years old. I’ve owned cats, dogs, rodents, birds, you name it! As an aspiring veterinarian who had an amazing internship last summer and someone who has owned many senior animals, I am able to accommodate special medical needs as long as you leave me clear instructions on how to care for your fur baby. I am currently a full-time student and part-time veterinary assistant, but I do not have any other commitments outside of that! Depending on my daily academic schedule, I can typically fit in brief visits in the early morning and during my lunch breaks, and longer visits in the evening! I will follow any instructions left to me to a T. If there is something I’m unsure about, I will be sure to ask clients before taking any drastic actions (unless it is truly an emergency).
“Xitlalli was able to take care of my sweet Bear this week even though my need was last minute. She took great notes for us and adorable pictures. I felt good about how much real time updates I got about how my Bear was doing.”
About: I have taken care of two cats since 2023, and have lived with two dogs in my family home since 2020. I absolutely love dogs and cats, and am willing to care for your pets with the same attention that I give my own animals! Growing up with different pets from fish, crabs, parakeets and hamsters is where my love for animals comes from and am excited to express that love in a way that is helpful to the community around me! I've lived in Davis for the past 5 years and as a former Unitrans employee, this opportunity seems like the best way for me to continue giving my efforts back to the city of Davis and its people! My schedule is very flexible currently and am able to help your pet throughout the day if need be! I am mobile and am able to make multiple visits to your animal in a single day, as well as take them on multiple trips and/or walks if need be. I prefer to take care of your animals in the space that they are comfortable in, and will be respectful of your home and property for the time I am in your space. I am able to play with, take on walks, feed, and take care of any other tasks your pet may need!
“Michelle was great with my puppy Ziggy. She showed up on time, stayed patient with Ziggy, and responded quickly to my last minute bookings. She even came back to walk him after I forgot to leave the spare key outside for her. I will definitely continue to book with her!”

About: 12+ years of animal sitting (primarily dogs but also cats and small critters!) Currently volunteer at an animal shelter (very experienced and comfortable with animals on many different behavior levels) I am comfortable walking, running, feeding, playing, training, cleaning and more for your pet! I love all animals and would love to help out where I can:) I only work part time so I am pretty available to taking care of your pets whenever needed! I can do daily check ins or sitting- whatever you and your family wants. I have a fenced yard and a friendly gentle dog if you’re boarding with me, but I can also housesit and care for both your pets and your home!
“Cecilia is very professional and caring. She is a real dog lover! She and her dogs welcomed our energetic puppy and she sent photos and videos every day. We appreciate her work!”
“April was so amazing!! We were worried about leaving our dog behind for our week long vacation, but she loved April and her family. She did so well!! Our dog will definitely be back next time we’re out of town! :-)”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
“I was out of town for about a month and Reginay was amazing taking care of my Aussie "Nac. She keeps me updated every day with photos and videos. Nac came home in great condition after more than 3 weeks of boarding. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! I'm Susi, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible, for both you and your pets. My experience comes from being a lifelong dog owner and understanding firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I know that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks that make them who they are. That’s why I focus on providing personalized care for one family at a time, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and bedtime routines, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. When your pet stays with me, they'll receive the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule so every pet in my care receives consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m home everyday of the week and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm, but someone is always home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I only care for one family’s pets at a time, I’m able to give them focused, personalized care instead of dividing my attention between multiple bookings. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can settle in and feel like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, along with a quiet dog park just a few blocks away that is usually empty. I only use the park when it is appropriate for the individual dog and with the owner’s permission. I also have a dog (Jayda) of my own who is friendly, calm, and respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. I always prioritize safe introductions and closely monitor interactions so every pet feels comfortable. If a visiting dog is not comfortable around other dogs, my home has separate rooms and spaces where pets can be safely kept apart whenever necessary. Their comfort and safety always come first. Because I care for one family at a time, I can give each pet personalized attention and follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For care in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. During drop-ins or house sitting, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box or yard cleanup, medication when needed, playtime, affection, and any other care instructions provided. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and letting each dog move at a pace that suits their age, energy level, and comfort. No matter the service, I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care.
“What a great team Marie & James made! Our senior pet is an active part of our family. We were so worried he wouldn’t understand our being away on a vacation without him. Upon meeting Marie and James, our Cooper seemed comfortable immediately. Their calm and openly friendly attitude was apparent. True to their word, daily pictures and videos were sent with texts. Their experience with older dogs and administering of medications was a relief. Can’t thank or praise them enough. Super nice people. Thank you! Cooper thanks you as well.”
“Amazing. Sunshine and Shannon were amazing. We received so many pictures and videos daily to help us see how well Bella was doing. Communication was excellent from the first time I reached out to them to picking up Bella today. We will use them again in the future. I would highly recommend Sunshine and Shannon to anyone look for pet care.”
