“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! She took such great care of my dog—always by her side, making sure she was never lonely. My dog got plenty of activities, fresh air, and attention every day. She even gave her a bath before returning her, and my dog came back refreshed, fluffy, and super happy! It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“We would 1000000% recommend JD! There's a reason he has so many 5 star reviews! We normally never travel because we get very anxious about trusting someone with our dogs. However, we had a trip we couldn't miss so we had to figure something out. We found JD on here and after reading all his reviews, we decided he would be the best choice and we were right! He watched our boys for a whole week and sent tons of photos every single day. We had a peace of mind the entire time and would absolutely rebook again without hesitation! Embarrassingly on my end, I booked the wrong date for the pick up day but JD handled it amazingly and watched our boys for an extra day. He was very kind about it and really made everything so stress free! If you're debating on who to hire, do yourself a favor and go with JD! :)”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Vince was fantastic. He was so compassionate towards Mylo with it being his first overnight stay. He stayed in contact with & provided plenty of updates. I’m grateful to him & his family! Highly recommend.”
“Very responsive both before and during the pet sitting. She seemed super organized and communicated frequently with me during my trip, even though we were in a different time zone. There was a moment that the dry food we had provided ran out unexpectedly! Luckily Tracey alerted us ahead of time and we were able to come up with a solution. We felt very confident that our cat was having a blast while staying with Tracey! :D”
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
“WOW!! Jennifer was amazing with our Chocolate Lab and Frenchie. Willow and Piglet loved being with her family and the pictures we received showed playtime, and how the pups were tucked into doggy beds and covered with a warm blanket. Jennifer's family were just as amazing and our pups loved it there. It is always an anxious moment trying to find someone to take care of your loved ones, but Jennifer and her lovely family take the worry out of the choice. I am so pleased and feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her again! I highly, highly recommend!!! I will rebook again!”
“Very good communication, loved the room for my kitty! There was lots of room to explore, a big window with a new screen, and even a TV running nature shows. She interacted with my cat every day and I loved her pics. 10/10, will contact again for my next trip. :D”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
About: I have a 5 year old lab who is friendly and caring. I love to take care of dogs and provide service for dog parents who need help taking care of their loved ones. I have a pet and i take care of him daily so pet care is part off my daily routine and life and I love it. I will take care of the pet in our home and have a 3000 sqft backyard where the pets can play and have fun time
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“We had our dog Sparky stay with Kim for about a month while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of him. I received pictures daily and when we got back he looked well taken care of and very calm. I appreciate Kim’s help with my dog very much and would recommend her services to anyone who needs help with boarding their dog. Thank you!”
“Finding TR was truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to us! This was our second time booking with her, and this time she cared for our cat for almost a full month while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our cat felt comfortable, loved, and truly cared for the entire time. TR is reliable, communicative, and treats your pet like her own. We honestly can’t imagine traveling without her. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend booking with her — your fur baby will be in amazing hands! 💕🐾”
“Nayana is a great dog sitter for our anxious dog, Brando. I needed last minute coverage for our dog and she was willing to accommodate him. I feel comfortable leaving our family dog with Nayana anytime and know that he will be well cared for and loved. Communication during his stay was also fantastic!”
About: Hello, I am a wife and mother of 2 boys. I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals both big & small. I lost both of my doggos to old age a little over a year ago and although I cannot bring myself to adopt anymore pets, I would love to have some fur babies around the house. I currently work from home, which makes potty breaks easy. My evenings and weekends are available to spend time with your fur baby. I am a huge animal lover, as I did grow up on a farm. My childhood dogs were mainly German shepherds. I’m very familiar with large breeds, and find them to be the most loving. Small animals are fun and usually love cuddles, so it’s a win/win for me. Although I do you live in a two bedroom townhouse I have access to a very large lawn, plenty of shaded play area with a fenced in yard if it is too hot out to walk on cement.

About: I have had cats all my life and have been pet sitting for them for many years. I have taken care of cats for weeks at a time and love to be able to sit and play with them. I would love to take care of your cats!
“I’m writing this review to help others who are looking for the perfect person to watch their precious fur babies. Like many of you, my pets are incredibly important to me. I have three indoor cats, including Luna, my “scaredy-cat” princess, who usually only likes my wife and I. My biggest worry was that Luna would be too terrified to eat while we were away. This is my first time using a pet-sitting app. I chose Trisha because she lives nearby, has cats of her own, and had great feedback. We had a wonderful meet-and-greet where she was punctual, attentive, and showed a genuine love for animals. Because our vacation was a month and a half away, I asked her to come over one more time right before we left to review the routine. She happily agreed, which really put my mind at ease. Trisha visited twice a day for one hour over seven days. She was incredibly reliable never missed a visit and sent daily reports with pictures. While Luna spent most of the time under the bed, Trisha used different feeding tactics to make sure she ate. By the end of the week, Luna actually came out of hiding for photos-which is huge for her! When we returned, the house was immaculate. The litter boxes were clean, and the floors were perfectly vacuumed of any tract litter. I am so relieved, and will definitely be using Trisha for all our future Pet setting needs!”
“We both worked around each other's schedule. Flexible, followed my food request for 2 cats 1 inside cat 1 outside cat. Litter was cleaned. Debbie was great will plan to work with her again if needed. 😺😺”

About: I have had dogs all my life and a good pup brings me joy. I have 1 dogs of my own that I love to take on long walks, hiking, and to the beach. I would love to share those experiences with your loved ones aka dogs!! I know we live in busy world and sometimes we need just a little help keeping the pups happy, please let me help so you don't have feel guilty for not taking your buddy out.

All dogs I for care will receive walks, snuggle time and more throughout the day, rather they are in my home or their home. Thanks
About: Although I haven’t had as much experience with cats as I do dogs, I have been able to care for them all the same! Growing up, I would take care of my grandma’s cats, so I have learned to see the signs of a happy or distressed kitty!
“We met Tiali for the first time today in preparation for an upcoming house sit with our dog and 3 chickens. She asked great questions and is clearly engaged and thinking how to best meet our needs and expectations. I have a good feeling about the upcoming week!”
“Tracey was truly incredible with my cat, Molly. Leaving my little baby with someone else was really hard for me, but Tracey made the entire experience so comforting and reassuring. Every single day she sent thoughtful updates along with photos and videos, and seeing Molly safe, relaxed, and loved meant everything to me. You can genuinely feel how much Tracey cares about the animals she watches. She didn’t just “check in” on Molly—she gave her love, attention, and patience, and treated her like her own. Because of her, I was able to be away without constant worry, knowing my baby was in the best hands possible. I’m beyond grateful for her kindness, communication, and dedication. I would trust Tracey again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for with real love and compassion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Delaney is amazing. Even with somewhat short notice she came through for me and provided an amazing experience. Rosa loved her and I would not hesitate to ask Delaney to come back. Wonderful girl, sweet and caring, everything a person could ask for. Highly recommended.”
“Lisa is a fantastic sitter. She gave me detail information about my pets and cared for them as her own. She will take lots and notes and will ask questions if she needs to. I highly recommend her.”
“Wow. She is so amazing. The cat whisperer. I was so happy to see a video of both my kitties even the one who usually doesn’t make an appearance when a stranger is at the door. The videos she sent were good for my heart. It’s so nice to have someone to trust them with when we are gone.”

I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

“Wendy took great care of me and my husband's two cats and kept us updated the whole time! Both are indoor-only cats and them having their own room to stay in was a big deal. Their room was spacious and allowed for more than enough room for them to play and run around in and even had a nice window view. Would definitely book again in the future!!”
“Excellent sitter. Very responsive and follows directions. Very helpful with helping to watch my cats and making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be requesting Stasha’s help in the future.”

“Jennifer and her Family (human and fur) are a fantastic fit for Cleo. She is a high energy dog and comes home fully exhausted from her playdates with Jennifer, Rosey and their team! My husband told me it was the "perfect fit" for Cleo and us!”
“JD is a godsend. Wish we had known him when Mina, my dog, was still a puppy. J provides us with excellent care for Mina and training which helps her be more confident and get along with other dogs. He is very understanding and flexible toward our work schedule. J cares for our dog just like his own. We can see how passionate and loving he is toward dogs in general and Mina in particular. J has a big heart for dogs and one of a kind. Highly recommend!!”

“Lady is a small needy sweet dog and she gets sad when left alone. Jen and her family are absolutely the best, and Lady feels right at home. I get great updates from Jen throughout the day and I know she is well taken care of and she has fun. I'm so glad I found Jen, thanks to her care I can work without worrying about Lady being home alone.”

“It was such a delight for my chihuahua mix Maui to stay with Dipanjana and her husband and her cute dog Kulfi for the first time! Dipanjana was very proactive and thoughtful in preparing us for our first day care visit, letting Maui get familiarized with her dog and home, ahead of our daycare appointment, which I appreciated immensely since my dog has separation anxiety. She is relaxed and easy with communication and with Maui to make him feel at home like letting him sniff around, play with toys, or sit on her lap. She was also very on top of it with any instructions I had for his stay. Her home and neighborhood are also very clean and comfortable. It was so great to see Maui in pic updates and in good spirits when I picked him up and I look forward to another stay in the future soon!”
About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.
“Deepika S . is the best sitter I have experienced in a long time. Cocoa was very happy at her place . It was like home away from home for him. She made me feel very confident to leave Cocoa with her for an extended period of time , while I was traveling abroad. Cocoa was well taken care by her and she kept me updated on a regular basis . I thank god that I was lucky to find someone like her ! I am going to refer all my friends to her and rebook again with her !”

About: Something I enjoy the most is being a caretaker for all furry friends and people alike! I have a dog that I care for at home, and have taken care of other family pets as well!

I am all about having a set schedule and knowing all about your pet! I can work with special instructions and learn more about what your pets love and dislike.
“Debbie is absolutely the best! She is so very gentle, kind and patient with our shy girl. When we met her she got down to Blossom’s level and slowly introduced herself and Blossom come to her. In the pics we receive from the walks we can see our girl is relaxed and enjoying her walk. I cannot stress enough, Debbie is the best.”
“Angelina has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dogs. She cares for Winston (our Cockapoo), Charlie, Annie (our Labradoodle), and our Bernedoodle, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She has such a calm, wonderful presence, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. They’ve all warmed up to her so quickly, which says everything about her energy and the trust she builds with them. Every time they return, they have the most cheerful dispositions and are ready for a cozy nap—it’s obvious they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. We truly feel lucky to have Angelina and would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi there! I’m Yolanda, a dedicated and loving pet sitter with a passion for giving your furry family members the same care and comfort they get at home. I know how much your pets mean to you — because they mean just as much to me! ✨ Why You’ll Love Leaving Your Pet With Me: • 🏡 Home Away From Home: Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved every moment you’re away. • 🕒 Reliable & Flexible: I take pride in my punctuality and excellent communication. Updates and adorable photos? You’ll get them daily! • 🐶 All Pets Welcome: From energetic puppies to senior sweethearts needing meds, I’m experienced with pets of all ages and personalities. • 💚 Safety First: I treat every pet like my own — lots of love, but also the highest attention to safety, routine, and your instructions. ✨ A Little About Me: Animals have been a huge part of my life for 35+ years. I grew up with dog’s, cat’s and cows, and I’ve cared for everything from shy rescue pups to playful kittens and even senior dogs with special needs. Morning starts with feeding time and a quick check to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. If I have a dog, there’s that refreshing morning walk — a chance for both of us to stretch our legs and breathe in the day ahead. If it’s a cat, maybe it’s a playful moment or just sharing a quiet breakfast together while they curl up nearby. I take pet care seriously and always treat animals with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. In my daily routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I stick to feeding schedules, provide plenty of fresh water, and keep their living areas clean and tidy.
About: I was raised with all types of dogs around me including Labradors, chihuahuas, pit bulls, and terriers. I dog sit for a few family friends that trust me to care for their pets while they are out of town. I am currently flexible in my day to day schedule so I am available most of the week. I am open to do walks, drop ins, or house sit if needed. While I don’t have my own place to keep your dog, I am more than willing to care of your dog at your home. I have reliable references who have let me stay at their homes weeks-months at a time to care for their pets. While staying at your home or just checking up on your pets, I also take the trash out as well as bring in any mail/packages when needed while you’re away.
“Honestly one of the best walkers we’ve ever had. Timely, communicative and understanding. One of our doggos is a rescue and has trust issues, so it can be challenging for new people to walk him. Sandi, however, has been incredibly patient with him and seems to have earned his trust. You won’t regret booking her!”

About: I’m a flexible, professional, and loving pet sitter with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, fish, and more. As a lifelong pet owner, I treat every animal like family.I have experience with special needs pets, including administering medications and providing specialized care, as well as with puppies and seniors who require extra attention.As a lifelong pet owner, I treat every animal like family. Along with reliable drop-in visits full of love, I go the extra mile—watering yards, collecting mail, taking out trash, and tidying up pet waste while you’re away. Peace of mind for you, happy tails (and clean yards) at home! As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m available every day of the week to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I don’t offer in-home boarding, but instead I provide care right in your own home—keeping your pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment.
About: Hi pet parents! My name is Tiali and I am a UC Davis graduate with my degree in Entomology and Animal Biology. I have over 10 years of experience working with animals, including reptiles, amphibians, birds, and both exotic and domestic mammals. I have worked as a vet tech and have previously worked at the UC Davis Campus Veterinary Services, UC Davis Veterinary Rehab Center, Sacramento Wildlife Care Association, and the San Francisco Zoo in their Animal Resource Center (where I have learned how to clean enclosures, prepare diets, properly handle, and train over twenty species of exotic animals). I have also previously worked as a PetsHotel associate in PetSmart where I was responsible for monitoring Doggy Day Camp with an average of 20 dogs per group, caring for boarding dogs, leading individual sessions with dogs, and caring for boarding cats. Not only do I have extensive first-hand experience with pet care, but I also have research experience involving animal behavior, training in raptor handling, and have been a dog owner my entire life. I currently have 5 cats of my own and several other pets (all insects, reptiles, and amphibians)! I can’t wait to meet your furbabies when you book with me! I work graveyard so my schedule is super, super flexible during the day. This allows me to easily accommodate you and your pets’ schedule based on their needs! Safety and trust are two of the most important things to me when caring for pets. For a pet to feel safe, I always take my time when greeting them for the first time, getting down to their level, and not making any sudden sounds or movements that may come across as a threat to the pet. This ensures an initial formation of trust between me and the pet. Following pet parent instructions is also essential and I make sure to be aware of the pet's needs and their preferred routine so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. Additionally, I am a very vigilant person and am always keeping an eye on the pet I am caring for, to ensure their environment is safe and free of any hazards and the pet continues to be healthy and happy.
“Shirley was very good with my 9 year old Siberian husky. Shirley was also able to work around my schedule which work out good for both of us. I would recommend Shirley for good pet care.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! She took such great care of my dog—always by her side, making sure she was never lonely. My dog got plenty of activities, fresh air, and attention every day. She even gave her a bath before returning her, and my dog came back refreshed, fluffy, and super happy! It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“We would 1000000% recommend JD! There's a reason he has so many 5 star reviews! We normally never travel because we get very anxious about trusting someone with our dogs. However, we had a trip we couldn't miss so we had to figure something out. We found JD on here and after reading all his reviews, we decided he would be the best choice and we were right! He watched our boys for a whole week and sent tons of photos every single day. We had a peace of mind the entire time and would absolutely rebook again without hesitation! Embarrassingly on my end, I booked the wrong date for the pick up day but JD handled it amazingly and watched our boys for an extra day. He was very kind about it and really made everything so stress free! If you're debating on who to hire, do yourself a favor and go with JD! :)”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Vince was fantastic. He was so compassionate towards Mylo with it being his first overnight stay. He stayed in contact with & provided plenty of updates. I’m grateful to him & his family! Highly recommend.”
“Very responsive both before and during the pet sitting. She seemed super organized and communicated frequently with me during my trip, even though we were in a different time zone. There was a moment that the dry food we had provided ran out unexpectedly! Luckily Tracey alerted us ahead of time and we were able to come up with a solution. We felt very confident that our cat was having a blast while staying with Tracey! :D”
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
“WOW!! Jennifer was amazing with our Chocolate Lab and Frenchie. Willow and Piglet loved being with her family and the pictures we received showed playtime, and how the pups were tucked into doggy beds and covered with a warm blanket. Jennifer's family were just as amazing and our pups loved it there. It is always an anxious moment trying to find someone to take care of your loved ones, but Jennifer and her lovely family take the worry out of the choice. I am so pleased and feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her again! I highly, highly recommend!!! I will rebook again!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
About: I have a 5 year old lab who is friendly and caring. I love to take care of dogs and provide service for dog parents who need help taking care of their loved ones. I have a pet and i take care of him daily so pet care is part off my daily routine and life and I love it. I will take care of the pet in our home and have a 3000 sqft backyard where the pets can play and have fun time
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
“Nayana is a great dog sitter for our anxious dog, Brando. I needed last minute coverage for our dog and she was willing to accommodate him. I feel comfortable leaving our family dog with Nayana anytime and know that he will be well cared for and loved. Communication during his stay was also fantastic!”
About: Hello, I am a wife and mother of 2 boys. I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals both big & small. I lost both of my doggos to old age a little over a year ago and although I cannot bring myself to adopt anymore pets, I would love to have some fur babies around the house. I currently work from home, which makes potty breaks easy. My evenings and weekends are available to spend time with your fur baby. I am a huge animal lover, as I did grow up on a farm. My childhood dogs were mainly German shepherds. I’m very familiar with large breeds, and find them to be the most loving. Small animals are fun and usually love cuddles, so it’s a win/win for me. Although I do you live in a two bedroom townhouse I have access to a very large lawn, plenty of shaded play area with a fenced in yard if it is too hot out to walk on cement.
“Shirley took great care of our dog while we were on vacation, and made her feel right at home. She sent us regular pictures to assure us that our dog was doing fine in our absence. We will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Marium was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Bruno! She did a great job walking him and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was also very quick at responding to messages, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated that she sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see how Bruno was doing. It was clear she cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Marium to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Leo was so happy to go back, which says everything! They took great care of him with timely updates, regular walks, and lots of playtime. The yard is nice and very dog-friendly, giving the dogs a comfortable space to play. Luna and Reki are super friendly and started playing with Leo right away, which made him feel at ease instantly. We really appreciated the photos and updates — it kept us completely stress-free knowing how his day was going. They were also very attentive to his food routine and followed all our specific instructions. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you for taking such good care of Leo!”
