“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.”
“Nate and Ray are the best. Have used them several times. Woofy knows exactly where she is headed when we turn the corner on their street. I get constant photo updates. These guys will always be our first choice.”
“Always such a great stay with Doug & Marisol. They are such a nice family and treat our pup like their own. Our dog always comes back happy and normal which is such a relief. Thanks as always and highly recommend!”
“Honestly I would never leave my two dogs with anyone else. Kirsten always takes good care of my two boys as if they were her own. She always communicated and sent updates during their stay, which allowed me to relax and truly enjoy my trip knowing Zuko and Dante were in great hands. My dogs absolutely love Kirsten and her family. Whenever I drop them off, you can tell they feel comfortable and happy with her. Her dog Jack loves to play with them, and my dogs also adore spending time with her daughter. It really gives me peace of mind knowing they are treated like part of the family. This is my fourth or fifth time leaving them in Kirsten’s care, and every single time I feel completely confident that they are being well taken care of. I highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pets.”
“Madison and Moses are truly incredible!!! Just picked up our two bullies and they had the most amazing time with them. Their yard is like a little oasis vacation for the pups. They were great about providing updates and I didn’t have to stress one bit knowing they love my girls as if they were their own. We have definitely found our pups new best friends! 🩷”
About: I have been a dog mama for 30 years and I have fostered many many dogs for multiple rescues in NJ and CA for over 20 years. I am recently retired and my 3 adult kids are independent. I have the time to give your pet all my attention. I now have very little daily responsibilities. I live in a house where our 1/2 acre of backyard is completely fenced. If you were to trust me with your pet, he/she would be treated like my own and would not be left outside unattended. Your dog would be allowed on my furniture and beds Cs and would get daily walks.
“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!”

“Buddy had a sleep over with Harper. Chris and Jennifer are so amazing. They kept us informed and sent photos. We love this family. People you can trust to take care of your fur baby!”

“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Cerita is my go to dog and cat sitter. She treats all of my fur babies with so much love and makes them feel completely at home. I especially appreciate the extra care she gives my senior cat, she’s very attentive when it comes to giving him his insulin.”

“Oliver enjoyed his time at Doug and Marisol’s home doggie daycare this week! I felt relieved knowing my little guy was being well-cared for while I was at work. They provided Oliver with a cozy environment and his prescription food & treats.”
“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”
“Betty was great with Bron. He loved hanging out with her for the day. He was sad to leave to her when we picked him up. Betty has a spacious fenced in outdoor area that Bron loved exploring. He wiped when we picked him up. Would definitely go back to Betty again!”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of animals big and small. Seizure disorder, elderly, puppies, high-energy dogs are all welcome! I am able to administer medicine and follow any particular rules you'd like. Between my husband and I we both are home Monday thru Sunday. Always home with our pups and yours! No kids or cats live here. Just a husband and wife and 2 amazingly friendly dogs. We have a large property with a fenced yard all around. We plan to use an AirTag for increased safety for all our doggy guests.
“Berenice is the absolute best!!! And her Doggies Mango and Molly are so patient and precious!! I was very nervous about leaving my 3 month old Storm for the first time, but Berenice made me feel so comfortable. Storm had the best day in her care and I'll be a repeat customer on a consistent basis. Thank you for treating Storm like one of your own. Truly Top Quality!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication. I recently served as the ASB President at my high school, where I learned the importance of being dependable, organized, and someone others can count on. This fall, I’ll be attending California Lutheran University to pursue both my bachelor’s and then master’s degrees. I truly love animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and treat your pet like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently on summer break and in the process of preparing for my first semester at California Lutheran University, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they stay on their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, provide plenty of love and attention, and always keep a close eye on them. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet, and I’ll communicate with you throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”
About: Animals always gravitate towards me. I love how animals are like children. So innocent and sweet. I would love to help out busy families by walking or sitting for your dog. I am reliable and I overly communicate. I love taking videos and pictures of your pet and sending them to you and your loved ones . I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. 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: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.
About: I started my career early volunteering as a teenager at the local humane society. ❤️ Working at the humane society we had dogs and kitties from every background come our way, and it was our job to take care of them, help them grow, and make sure they were comfortable every single day. My experience includes 15 years of taking care of puppies, mid-age doggies and elderly doggies of all sizes. On top of professional time spent with doggies my family dogs were a big beautiful boxer bull mastiff named Layla, and a little Sheltie named Lady. I now have a one year old Golden Sammy named Zena. I’m currently working part time which gives me the flexibility to keep taking care of dogs. Send a message for your desired dates and times. I have had dogs for my entire life. I currently have a fenced in yard and a year old trained and submissive sweet golden Sammy named zena.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication. I recently served as the ASB President at my high school, where I learned the importance of being dependable, organized, and someone others can count on. This fall, I’ll be attending California Lutheran University to pursue both my bachelor’s and then master’s degrees. I truly love animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and treat your pet like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently on summer break and in the process of preparing for my first semester at California Lutheran University, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they stay on their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, provide plenty of love and attention, and always keep a close eye on them. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet, and I’ll communicate with you throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s). I am fully available to your companion. Be it for one hour or one day or even a week! The only obligations I have are, like most, family. I am also in the Army National Guard, which makes me unavailable at unexpected times on rare and seldom occasions. I have a tall, fenced-in yard with edible pet grass designed explicitly for your dog(s) to potty-train. On the extra hot days, a comfy off-ground cot with a cooling mat and shaded canopy is available, along with a small pool of water for your dog to enjoy while they are here with me. No burned paws or dehydrated pets allowed :-P I also have plenty of chew toys and energy to entertain your dog with fetch, tug a war, and lots of outdoor running. Lastly, I offer a bed in a comfortable kennel for dogs with no severe behavior issues such as yelping, whining, and barking, mostly puppy's still learning the basics such as potty training. Dogs will be separated and placed in a kennel during short, unsupervised moments, such as quick runs to the store or during feeding time.
“Rachel is a wonderful dog walker. She has an easy repore with my dog, it is clear that she loves animals! I would recommend Rachel as a dog sitter. I will be using her in the future.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of hands-on pet care experience and two beloved cats of my own. I believe pets are family and I care for every animal as if they were mine. I’m an attentive and observant caregiver who notices the small things: a change in mood, habits, or energy levels. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m intentional in everything I do, whether it’s keeping their space clean, ensuring they’re eating well, or spending time playing and bonding. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, so I pride myself on being transparent, reliable, and trustworthy every step of the way. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and care. As long as I have at least 24 hours' notice, I can easily accommodate most requests. My partner and I are currently planning our wedding, and taking on pet care is not only a way to help support that goal but also something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like I would my own with love, attention, and respect. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pets are happy and safe while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and medication to walks and playtime, and I am very mindful of each pet’s unique needs and personality. I keep their area clean, make sure they have fresh water, and spend quality time with them so they feel calm and cared for while you are away. I also respect your home as if it were my own and will always communicate clearly about how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets.

“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.”
“Nate and Ray are the best. Have used them several times. Woofy knows exactly where she is headed when we turn the corner on their street. I get constant photo updates. These guys will always be our first choice.”
“Honestly I would never leave my two dogs with anyone else. Kirsten always takes good care of my two boys as if they were her own. She always communicated and sent updates during their stay, which allowed me to relax and truly enjoy my trip knowing Zuko and Dante were in great hands. My dogs absolutely love Kirsten and her family. Whenever I drop them off, you can tell they feel comfortable and happy with her. Her dog Jack loves to play with them, and my dogs also adore spending time with her daughter. It really gives me peace of mind knowing they are treated like part of the family. This is my fourth or fifth time leaving them in Kirsten’s care, and every single time I feel completely confident that they are being well taken care of. I highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pets.”
“Madison and Moses are truly incredible!!! Just picked up our two bullies and they had the most amazing time with them. Their yard is like a little oasis vacation for the pups. They were great about providing updates and I didn’t have to stress one bit knowing they love my girls as if they were their own. We have definitely found our pups new best friends! 🩷”
