“Sophie did a great job with our 1 year old dog. She was a great communicator with consistent updates and pictures throughout the stay which gave us confidence in her wonderful care of our pup!”
“Ciana was amazing! Communication was perfect from start to finish. She was super sweet and caring with my dog, keeping me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was very responsive and attentive the entire time. I highly recommend her services. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Tammy was great, she has a nice pet friendly home, with a dog appropriate backyard. Fenced, grass, shade, room to walk around and sniff. We interviewed three the day we met Tammy. I was sure from the first ten minutes she would be our choice. Her own dog was sweet and calm and adorable. She had a nice personality, answered all our questions and we just felt comfortable in her home. We will be using her again. You can't go wrong with leaving you dog with Tammy. Thanks for taking care of our child. I mean dog, Tessa.”
“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”
“Robin took care of my beloved Scooter. Scooter is a rescue and I had never trusted anyone else to care for him. Judging from his behavior when I picked him up, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. Scooter bonded with Robin and made new friends, including her own friendly dog, Zuko. Robin showed great flexibility and accommodated Scooter’s quirky eating habits and adapted to his needs to see that he was having a great time and was well cared for. Robin is a GREAT communicator, sending daily updates, photos, etc to let me know that Scooter was doing well, what he was up to, who he was playing with, etc. All in all, Robin gets 10 stars on a five star scale. Scooter can’t wait to go back on his next vacation.”
“Alex & Bri were so friendly, accommodating, and communicative. They did so well with my anxious pup, gave her all the snuggles and were attentive. They sent loads of photo updates and followed all the directions. My pup lived their dog Lulu and we will definitely be booking with them again soon. So grateful for them all.”
“Lauren and Kari took great care of our Aussie Dug. They kept us updated throughout our day. Knowing he was in great hands allowed us to have a great day exploring the Napa area.”
“Cymantha was incredibly kind and communicative while watching my 10 year old husky, who generally does not do well when I leave him overnight! She had him for 4 days and texted me photos and updates everyday, which made the experience much easier for me. Cymantha’s experience shows in her work. Thor came home happy as ever, we will definitely be booking again!”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From regular updates and photos to thoughtful attention to his routines and quirks, it was clear that Heather and Caleb treated our dog like one of their own. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Susan was incredible! She was accommodating with our needs and requests. Our dog fell in love right away! Her property was awesome and our dog didn’t seem to want to leave! Thank you Susan, for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Lauren and Ben took such kind care of Mira for a few days. Their home is full of family warmth and happy dogs, and Mira felt right at home. Communication was smooth and easy, and Lauren sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely bring Mira back when I’m in the area. Thank you so much!”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Ashish was amazing. This was our pup’s first boarding, and I was very nervous. He reassured me that everything was going to be ok. He also sent us photos through out the visit! He was super accommodating on pick up time as well. Would ABSOLUTELY bring my dog back here if I needed boarding again!”
“Shayla, Jacob, and their twins were the perfect caregivers for our dogs, Gabbi and Poppins, while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear our pups were in loving, capable hands. Shayla and Jacob kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the week. Our dogs came back happy, healthy, and completely at ease, which speaks volumes about the care they received. We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after our furry friends. Shayla and Jacob truly treated them as part of their own family. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitting experience!”
“Angela was so kind and caring with my pup, Bruno. He is a sensitive guy and she did a great job of putting him at ease. It was a special vacation for him as well since he got to lounge on the sofa and sleep in her bed - I was thrilled that she spoiled him with special treatment. He even got to make a new pupoy friend while staying with her.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Zoe with Wenxin and her partner. We’ve been dealing with some allergies and they helped us keep up with her probiotics and cleansing foam. Zoe was well exercised and came home fully relaxed. They also went above and beyond with dropping her off at our house since they were in the neighborhood that evening, as well as supplementing her food when I forgot a meals worth. Highly recommend especially if you want your dog treated like family!”

“Karyna took great care of my cat Wilson. Last minute holiday plans came up and she went above and beyond to ensure Willie was comfortable. Thank you so much, I’m so appreciative.”
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“As always, Aimee does a wonderful job taking care of our Grey-girl! She always keeps us informed and sends us great pics of her visit with Grey-girl. Thank you, Aimee, you’re the best!”
“Looked after my 17 y/o kitty!! Very detailed and easy communication between us! She did a great job and I'm very relieved to have finally met someone in town that has that cat person kind of common sense.”
About: I really do love every kind of cat! I've had cat companions my entire life, and I feel like sometimes they are so soft and so squishy I just can't even stand it. I wouldn't say my cats are trained exactly, but they do let me give them a bath. And most of the time when I call them they do come so I'm calling that a win. I can give the pills and such when that's required, and I'm happy to work with all cats young and old.
About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay.
“Victoria did a marvelous job with our two kittens. We were away for 10 days. She made sure they were very well cared for, and had several play sessions with them every day. She took good care of our home, plants, and mail as well. She introduced the kitties (and us) to Cat TV on YouTube, which they love. We highly recommend Victoria!”
“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She’s super responsible, attentive, responsive, and empathetic, which made it so much easier for me to be away. She took care of my cat just as well as I would, following my instructions in detail and, sometimes, even exceeding my expectations. She also kept the house very clean, I came back and everything looked spotless. What I really appreciated was the communication. She sent updates and photos minimum 2-3 times a day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she watered my plants and even picked up my cat’s medication, which was truly above and beyond. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”
About: I absolutely love animals! I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid, so I have experience working with multiple cats and dogs at a time. Additionally, I have experience volunteering in a shelter, providing puppy/kitten care and pet socialization. I work from home, so I am available most hours/days to pop in for a visit or to give a walk. I love keeping active and taking dogs on walks. I have a pup at home who enjoys going out a couple times a day and exploring the outdoors. I strive to keep my own pets safe and happy in a loving environment- I will do the same for yours! I have experience giving medication if necessary.
“We had a wonderful experience with Shelly and would highly recommend her! She took excellent care of our pets and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were cared for with love and attention.”
“Andrea was great with my cats. It's pretty amazing when all of my cats like the pet-sitter and that means the world to me. I felt like my babies were in good hands. I could tell Andrea really enjoyed being around my cats and was going to like spending time with them. She also took care of my house, making sure that she left everything the way it was. I highly recommend Andrea for pet-sitting and house sitting. She's sweet, considerate and will take good care of your fur babies!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - El Verano
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Sarah and Matt are a great match for our little pooch who gets overwhelmed by high energy and large dogs. They are thoughtful, compassionate, and great communicators.”
“Robin was very nice, from start to end. Found her walking her dog as I was arriving to drop off our dog. She was very caring and sent a few updates and pictures throughout the day. I was very comfortable leaving our dog with Robin for the day, we recommend!”
About: Spa Le Chien is specially tailored to your dog's needs while you are away from OR visiting California's Wine Country. I strive to make the experience unforgettable for your precious family member. I have been pampering pooches in my well-appointed modular house, located in a bucolic 55+ senior park in the charming village of Sonoma, for almost fifteen years. As a rule I only care for a single K9 at a time, so I can give it my full, undivided attention. There may occasionally be overlap between clients but rarely more than a single day or night. Safety is my first priority. Cleanliness, exercise, feeding and entertainment are our focus. I tend to work with small, older dogs and have helped elderly and infirm ones, too. But I am open to all types. I consult thoroughly with owners about their requirements before embarking on any regimen. I have never had a dissatisfied client...dogs love it here!
“Gabriel was so willing to help Cooper acclimate (he’s a nervous little pup)…to the point of using my puppy sling. So caring. And it was such a relief to get photos through the day on our first day.”
About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and possess a special way of relating to dogs. For the last decade, I have been the neighborhood go-to for dog sitting and boarding, while also taking care of my own three dogs. With the large back yard, sunning deck, and kiddie pool, I ensure a fun and relaxing experience for your pups stay. I am skilled in grooming (basic grooming), dog massage, feeding, medication administration, communication (basic-training, recall, etc.), walks, dog park outings, etc. and most importantly, lots of lovin'! I am a musician, property manager, (former massage therapist) who works from home and keeps a daily schedule of caring (feedings, exercise/play/socializing/outings, naps, etc.) for my own and my clients dogs, while keeping up with my creative practices and administrative duties. Dog care is well-integrated into my daily life. After morning feedings, we usually load up into the car and head to the dog park for 1-1.5 hours. Once we return home, the pups generally take a nap for at least 1.5-2.5 hours (allowing me to get some work done and/or to run errands). Once awake, we typically do some playing in the yard and/or training (sometimes involving Charlies Chips Treat - no/low calorie treats). After about an hour or so of play, I shift to preparing dinner for myself and also the dogs, if there are special wet food protocol requests from the owners. After feedings, we spend another hour or so outside before quieting down for the night. I usually play some soft music to settle my own energies down and the dogs seems to really appreciate that too as they tend to fall asleep to it and sleep comfortably throughout the night. I also do a late night potty break at around 10pm, just to avoid accidents throughout the night. Safety is priority to me. My home is set up specifically for their safety and my own. Cleanliness is also an important part of safety and I tend to do that throughout the day (sweep/vacuum, spot-mop, wash bedding, etc.). I have a large fenced in back yard, kiddie pool, lots of toys, and sunning deck for the dogs. The second bedroom has a day bed that the dogs sleep on, as well as multiple dog beds and the couch, if they prefer. I have water bowls in multiple locations throughout the house and backyard. I utilize room dividers at feedings, if necessary, or if I sense a dogs need for space away from the pack.
“Wonderful care for our pups! Very accommodating couple. They were helpful with directions and logistics. I’m very grateful we found them last minute so we could attend an event in the area. Would be delighted to use them again!!”
About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle. Living on property means I’m consistently outside and active, so dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day — not just scheduled walks. I’m used to maintaining routines for both pets and livestock, so feeding schedules, medications, supervision, and individual care needs are something I take seriously. I enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. Because I live on property, dogs have space to play, explore, and get exercise throughout the day while still being closely supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of affection while also respecting the client’s home and instructions. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I work to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible.

I make myself as available as I possibly can for new and reoccurring clients any day of the week. Please reach out with a request for care and I will see how I can best accommodate you and your needs.

Any special instructions are collected at the time of request for care to ensure your companion is comfortable and safe during their time with me.
“Lauren was so great about sending pix and updates on Toto’s day with her and Odin. Toto looked really happy and enjoyed playing at her house for the day. It was so nice to be able to go out for the day and not worry about rushing back for potty breaks. Thank you for making it easy and look forward to asking for your help another time.”
“Allyse hosted my dog for doggy day care since she panics when left alone. Itza had good company while I was at work, Allyse took great care of her, providing lunch, potty breaks, and sun bathing time in their fully gated yard. Itza will be back, I highly recommend Allyse!”
“Fatima has watched our shepherd mix Millie several times and has always taken really good care of her. She takes her on walks, and Millie loves playing with Harper. A worn out high energy dog is such a good thing for us. We will be using her as needed in the future, for sure.”
“Kari and her dog Bella were great. Louie was very comfortable in their home and I felt like he was well taken care of during his stay. He'll definitely come back to their house if we're in Napa again. Also, They have a great fenced in yard for playtime. Thank you Kari and Louie's new friend Bella!”
About: Every dog is different and that’s how I approach care. Whether working with a high energy puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs patience, gentle handling and extra attention, I tailor my approach to fit their personality and needs. I provide the highest level of attention and communication. I treat every dog like they’re my own by paying attention to their behavior and comfort, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I work fully remote at home with the flexibility to take breaks as needed, go for walks and attend to your dogs needs at any given time. I have a fenced yard for outside activity while my home provides a comfortable space for your dog. I live right next to a big park that’s ideal for dogs.
“Evan is fantastic we couldn’t be happier my dog was in love with him running to the front door and jumping on him . I was getting updates and videos and photos every 1-2 hours . Definitely will be using him again thank you so much Evan !!!”
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
“Jeremy and Jordan have a great house to host dogs and an amazing yard. Their pets are happy characters and they have a great vibe going. We already booked our next stay. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was born. We had a lab and a labradoodle, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Now that we have an empty house, I decided to use my experience to help dog parents in need. I have a lot of experience handling horses, so I can take good care of any size dog:) I am currently on summer break, so I have availability. I am a bunny parent and have taken care of her on my own for 5 years. We just lost our dog, but he was my furry best friend for 12 years and I took care of and walked him. I have a large area outdoors for my bunny to play in safely, and she is secured in a hutch inside the play area at night to ensure safely from predators. When it is too hot or too cold, she will come inside the house and be free roam. She is fed unlimited hay, a portion of high quality pellets and a variation of fruits and veggies as treats. She is very healthy and happy and living her best life. I prioritize the health and well being of all animals.
“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I really enjoy being around and caring for dogs. Most of my experience has been caring for small dogs and those in the later years of their life. My calm demeanor works well with dogs who may be nervous around new people. Until recently, I also volunteered at an adoption center where I helped to care for dogs looking for a new home. I currently don’t work a conventional job due to personal limitations so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. Taking care of your pet would bring lots of joy to my day. I am an attentive and affectionate pet care taker. I will respect your space and any parameters set around taking care of your furry family.

“Stephanie was amazing with our girl Islay. She was accommodating with helping Islay put on her little pads for being in heat. She also took pictures and sent us a nice message about how she was doing on the walk. Definitely will have her come again to walk our sweet girl.”
About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
“Cathleen handled my two labs with love and care. She exudes a very calm nature and my dogs in a first walk without me had a great time. Cathleen is kind, caring and is energetic and is great in handling big dogs. We can hardly wait for our next time with her!”
About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.
“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”
About: I have decades of experience providing care for my own dogs (my wife and I have three sighthounds currently), and their health and happiness are always my top priority. I am available most days of the week at this time, including weekends. Currently, dog walking is my only gig, so I'm here to help as best I can! I'll provide your pet with exercise appropriate for their age and physical condition. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of dog beds inside the house. Everyone is supervised and chaperoned when they are in our yard.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for slightly over decade now. I dont currently have any animals per my apartments requirements, so hoping to share some joyful times with your animals. COVID-19 SAFETY: I am fully vaccinated and will still wear a mask during meet and greets! If I am alone with the dog in the house then I will not be wearing a mask. I would normally be avaiable Friday-Monday as those are the days I dont have to commute out of town currently. If I can work you into other days of the week it would mostlikely be evenings. I can care for pets in a variety of ways, I can offer bathroom breaks, walks, check ins, feedings, scheduled play times, and lots and lots of love.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but I’ve had experience taking care of dogs on a dairy farm which got a little rowdy at times. I’m currently starting a job that will hopefully be full-time But might be a little shaky for a couple months so I’ll have a lot of free time to walk your dogs! I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly for your puppy dog to play with. And if they just need a walk I will make sure that that puppy will have the best sleep after.
About: I have always loved having pets, and we always had an array of animals when I was growing up. I’ve helped raise a couple puppies from birth to adulthood. Helped care for litters of services puppies. I regularly watched and checked in on family and friend’s pets while they were out. I also believe that in order to have a happy, healthy dog they need to be cared for, loved on and exercised with regularly. I love seeing the joy that comes to a pup when they know they’re going to go on a walk or go to the park. I would love to be able to help care for your animals and not only make their lives more energetic during the day but make your life easier because you don’t have to worry about it!

“Tammy was great, she has a nice pet friendly home, with a dog appropriate backyard. Fenced, grass, shade, room to walk around and sniff. We interviewed three the day we met Tammy. I was sure from the first ten minutes she would be our choice. Her own dog was sweet and calm and adorable. She had a nice personality, answered all our questions and we just felt comfortable in her home. We will be using her again. You can't go wrong with leaving you dog with Tammy. Thanks for taking care of our child. I mean dog, Tessa.”
“Robin took care of my beloved Scooter. Scooter is a rescue and I had never trusted anyone else to care for him. Judging from his behavior when I picked him up, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. Scooter bonded with Robin and made new friends, including her own friendly dog, Zuko. Robin showed great flexibility and accommodated Scooter’s quirky eating habits and adapted to his needs to see that he was having a great time and was well cared for. Robin is a GREAT communicator, sending daily updates, photos, etc to let me know that Scooter was doing well, what he was up to, who he was playing with, etc. All in all, Robin gets 10 stars on a five star scale. Scooter can’t wait to go back on his next vacation.”
“Lauren and Kari took great care of our Aussie Dug. They kept us updated throughout our day. Knowing he was in great hands allowed us to have a great day exploring the Napa area.”
“Cymantha was incredibly kind and communicative while watching my 10 year old husky, who generally does not do well when I leave him overnight! She had him for 4 days and texted me photos and updates everyday, which made the experience much easier for me. Cymantha’s experience shows in her work. Thor came home happy as ever, we will definitely be booking again!”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”
“Susan was incredible! She was accommodating with our needs and requests. Our dog fell in love right away! Her property was awesome and our dog didn’t seem to want to leave! Thank you Susan, for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Lauren and Ben took such kind care of Mira for a few days. Their home is full of family warmth and happy dogs, and Mira felt right at home. Communication was smooth and easy, and Lauren sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely bring Mira back when I’m in the area. Thank you so much!”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Shayla, Jacob, and their twins were the perfect caregivers for our dogs, Gabbi and Poppins, while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear our pups were in loving, capable hands. Shayla and Jacob kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the week. Our dogs came back happy, healthy, and completely at ease, which speaks volumes about the care they received. We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after our furry friends. Shayla and Jacob truly treated them as part of their own family. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitting experience!”
“Angela was so kind and caring with my pup, Bruno. He is a sensitive guy and she did a great job of putting him at ease. It was a special vacation for him as well since he got to lounge on the sofa and sleep in her bed - I was thrilled that she spoiled him with special treatment. He even got to make a new pupoy friend while staying with her.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Lillie and her family were so kind and welcoming to my pup. She sent lots of pics while we were away and was very communicative around how he was doing. She seemed genuinely affectionate with him too so I know he was not short on receiving love. Super thankful for her care ❤️”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.”
“Thank you very much Julie and Adam for Mollie's wonderful "Spring Break." We knew she's in good hands as we dropped her off. We really appreciate your daily updates with pictures of Mollie. You are the best!”
“Nadya was great! Her place is a relaxing retreat for the dogs, lots of sunny spots to lounge in the yard. She sent great pics while we were gone. She was kind, friendly and responds quick to texts. Would definitely recommend her.”
