“My 20 pound DeeDee is always running right to Doug and then to the front door to get in to play with their doggies, Nacho and Chi Chi❣️ It’s a real vacation for DeeDee, her second home!!!”


“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.”


“Whitney did it again! We chose to go with her again because of her awesome care the first time around. She took care of our baby as if she was her own and we are so grateful. We feel like Whitney has earned our trust and we will definitely hope she’s available the next time around because as nerve racking as it is to place your animal in someone else’s hands, Whitney made me feel comfortable and sent me lots of cute pics along the way which I love! Thank you so much Whitney you’re the best!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has had dogs my entire life. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs who are truly part of my family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe they all deserve patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work Monday thru Thursday. You are welcome to drop off on Thursday evening with a pick up on Sunday anytime. I will spend my time with your fur baby making sure they are having a great time and well cared for. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keeps your fur babies company. They are allowed on furniture. I love snuggles and will take lots of pictures of your pets while you’re away.

“Erica was so accommodating and helpful to me and treated my pup so well. I was able to take a small trip without worrying about Junie and her care. Erica sent me photos and updates of Junie's day while I was away. I plan to book with Erica again when the need arises.”

“(Nanay) Pilar is a kind, sweet, and wonderful sitter. My family and I went on a 5-day vacation and left our beloved Rexie. She is always welcoming when we drop off or pick up Rexie. She also sends updates with cute pictures and always reassured us that he is okay and happy. We enjoyed our vacation worry-free knowing our dog was in good hands. Thank you, Auntie Pilar! We and Rexie are all glad we found you! ❤️”

“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.”

“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”


“Alvin took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. He was very responsive and kept me updated by sending pictures of all the fun they were having, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m very grateful to Alvin for giving my dog so much love, attention, and care. I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future and would highly recommend him to others!”

“Our dog was happy when I picked him up from Hana. We’re so thankful that she was able to keep him as we had an unexpected death in the family and Hana graciously helped us in a bind. She took the time to get to know our boy and sent pictures every day. I’d bring our boy to stay again.”

“Julie was wonderful, sweet, kind, and understanding. I had a great experience with her. Updates were provided and my pups were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”

“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!”

“We are really protective of our dog when we have to leave her to go on vacation and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brooke and Steve for our Lab, Holly! They are the nicest people and we’re quite sure that Holly felt right at home with them while we were gone. I’m confident that they treat each dog as if they were their own! Nacho and Toby are also sweet dogs and Holly had no problem fitting in with them. Brooke and Steve are very vigilant in their care and made Holly comfortable by letting her cuddle on the couch with them and roam freely around the house. We were happy with the updates, pictures and flexibility when we changed our plans to add on a day. They are really a blessing to have around when we need a place for Holly to go. We will definitely be back if they will have us again!”

“I’ve taken my Malinois here a few times and he loves it. He is always well cared for and leaves happy. I’ve left him here for up to a week and am totally comfortable doing so. I will definitely continue using their services.”

“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!”


“Shakyra took great care of our pup and sent picture updates which were greatly appreciated! Will definitely leave our pup with Shakyra again and highly recommend”

“I highly recommend Julie! She is wonderful! She takes such great care of my dog LuLu. She’s kind, patient and so sweet! Julie is also so accommodating and responsive! Lulu loves visiting Julie and her family and comes home so calm and happy!”


“Brooke and her husband, Steven, were amazing! (I hope I got his name right, my dog was rather excited when he introduced himself). My stay was very last minute as I was coming down from LA, so they didn't have a chance to meet my dog before his stay with them. They were SUPER accommodating in taking him in really early in the morning and late at night (9:30 pm), so I could go do touristy things in SD. My dog is an excited barker when he meets people, and bright at 8:30 am, the two of them came out to greet him extremely cheerful and thankfully very nice and understanding while I apologized for his barking. They have a great house with a backyard. They were super chill about Marty hanging out with them on the couch and it seemed like they had a mellow day. Since it was only a day, I mentioned they didn't have to take photos of him, but throughout the day, they sent me adorable selfies of them having fun with my pup and it made my day! Their positivity and enthusiasm made me feel so at ease and I highly recommend them. I will definitely contact them when I'm back in town again.”

“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.”

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.
“Our dog Bria loves being with Jennifer! When we pull up to her driveway, Bria’s tail is already wagging- she can’t wait to see Jennifer and start a fun day! She loves running around with the other dogs and getting lots of attention from Jennifer and her son. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that Bria is well taken care of and loved while away from home. I highly, highly recommend Jennifer!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I have always been there to pet sit for my friends and neighbors, considering they know how much I love animals. I am currently employed part time. My work hours vary, but my days off are always Tuesday/Wednesday/Sunday. I am a dog groomer for a living and have the option to bring dogs that I am pet sitting into work with me to socialize them with the dogs I work on. That being said, I can provide 24 hour care 7 days a week due to the flexibility of my job. I absolutely love working with animals and am very experienced in the field. I would love to make new furry friends! I live in a community of houses that has beautiful streets to take a walk on, including a lake and a dog park.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds since a young age. I grew in a home with cats, and later dogs were introduced. However, outside of the home life I was surrounded by dogs! The daycare I attended had an in-home grooming service, and I got to help groom the 13 dogs that lived there! I’ve also been fortunate enough to be a part of the training process for some dogs that have been in 4-H! Finally to the good stuff; I’ve been a reliable dog/house sitter for the same couple for the last 5 years. In the span of those 5 years, they moved 3 houses, and so I got to experience first hand how upset the pups can get when their environment is changed. Some of the basic duties include feeding and making sure they have water, making sure they’re going to the bathroom regularly, being walked and played with regularly and cleaning up messes. Some additional tasks are taking them to their vet visits and administering medication (pill-form)! My availability is pretty flexible! I’m a full time student, so I currently am not working. For more information regarding scheduling please contact me directly! I will treat your home as I do mine. I take pride in a clean living space!

I can administer medication (pill form), if necessary.

“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.

“We are really protective of our dog when we have to leave her to go on vacation and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brooke and Steve for our Lab, Holly! They are the nicest people and we’re quite sure that Holly felt right at home with them while we were gone. I’m confident that they treat each dog as if they were their own! Nacho and Toby are also sweet dogs and Holly had no problem fitting in with them. Brooke and Steve are very vigilant in their care and made Holly comfortable by letting her cuddle on the couch with them and roam freely around the house. We were happy with the updates, pictures and flexibility when we changed our plans to add on a day. They are really a blessing to have around when we need a place for Holly to go. We will definitely be back if they will have us again!”

“Marina and Catherine took great care of our puppy Ceviche! Marina is quick to respond to questions and accommodated our changes in drop-off/pick-up time. We received several photo updates and messages throughout the day, which reassured us Ceviche was in great hands. It was awesome to see him enjoying himself, especially knowing he was playing with other pups in a safe, supervised, and spacious area. When we picked him up, Catherine spent time sharing her observations on how he did. Marina and Catherine are reliable, provided our fur baby love and affection, and most of all gave us peace of mind during our time away. We will definitely book again!”

“Kaitlin and Verle did an amazing job of caring for our dog Punky! They were extremely proactive about getting to know Punky and her particular needs (separation anxiety, dog reactivity), and making sure we were comfortable with their apartment--which, by the way, seemed to be an ideal environment safe for a dog with easy access to a fenced patio. After picking up Punky, she has seemed happy and relaxed. Strongly recommended!”

“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”
