“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking 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!”
“(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! ❤️”
“I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family. Coco has stayed with them a couple of times and we could not have been happier. Gwendolyn kept us regularly updated on how Coco was and what they were getting up to. Coco came home a very happy dog!”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“Erica is a PRO. We did a meet and greet and she was incredibly thorough! Our pup stayed over night and the entire time Erica went updates and photos of our boy. He seemed safe, happy, and at home. We definitely will be using her again!”
“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!”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“We’ve had our dog stay with Berenice 2 times and I just wanted to say again how great it has been. My dog must feel like he’s on vacation. She takes great care of our baby and he comes home happy!”
“Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Chris was great with Bullet. He picked and dropped her off with my friend and my friend said bullet was a happy camper when she got home. Full spirits, which means she had a good time. Thank you Chris and family for taking her on short notice and accommodating and communicating well!”
“Dama was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our little pup! She took time to let him warm up for his first stay with her. We’re thankful to find another great sitter and look forward to Sunny’s next stay with her!”
“I cannot say enough about how good l felt about leaving my dog with Jay! Before I even met her I could tell she would take good care of my girl. She did pictures and check in throughout the whole stay. Her house is very comfortable and welcoming. She gave my girl her time to get settled and comfortable with her surroundings. I look forward to using her again!”
“This is the very first time my puppy is staying with a person other than me and my husband since we got him during pandemic. I was worried to hell, but Whitney took a great care of him. She was very flexible with drop/pick up hours and great understanding to our customized needs. She sent pictures frequently. She is just amazing. I'm very glad I choose her.”
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”

“Cynthia was really great with our 2 adult female cats! she was very responsive, stepping in last minute to do drop in visits after our original sitter fell through. Cynthia was very detail oriented and gave us great updates on each of her visits. We'd definitely consider using Cynthia the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have loved cats since I was a small child (my mom called me her little cat lady), and started petting sitting my friends’, family members’ and neighbors’ cats as a teenager. I got my first kitten after moving to San Diego, and he is now 10 years old. I am still very drawn to cats and deeply enjoy playing with and caring for them. I will love your kitty like they’re my own, and follow your care instructions with great attention to detail.
“Virginia was a lifesaver and did such an amazing job watching our fur babies while we were away. She follows directions extremely well, provides updates multiple times a day. It is apparent that she cares about her clients and pets and goes above and beyond so we had peace of mind while on vacation. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Natalie was great! She took care of my cat Prada with drop in visits every day. She took photos and updated me with an issues. She is kind and easy going. Definitely will be using her again!!!!!”
“I recently broke my wrist (strong arm) and live alone with my many pets. It was difficult to care for my pets. Erica agreed to help me with feeding and caring for my 2 dogs and 8 former street cats. One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice daily. Erica came to my house twice a day, 12 hours apart, for almost 2 months like clockwork. She was so kind, gentle and dependable. She clearly knows and loves animals. One night my diabetic cat was having a hard time with his diabetes. Erica stuck around and helped me find an emergency vet and then helped me get him in his carrier, which is quite a task! She truly cares about animals and her experience working with them is evident. It was such a feeling of relief to know that Erica helped me through this tough time. I completely trust her and will definitely hire her again for pet care. She is the best!”
“Victoria was so sweet and attentive to my cat! I appreciate all the photos she sent me too! She was quick with her responses and easy to talk to. I will definitely rehire her if I’m in need again. Thank you so much!”

“Positively amazing! Met with me on short notice and took care of my pup later that same week. Good communication throughout and even went the extra mile to come back and let my dog go to the bathroom later in the evening at no extra charge! Would recommend 10/10 dog sitter! She is a life saver”
About: I grew up around cats thanks to my aunt, but my hands-on experience really started during the pandemic when I rescued a stray cat off the streets while staying with my grandma in Idaho. I got her fully vetted, fixed, and updated on all her shots. My grandma didn't think she wanted a cat at first, but her dog had recently passed and I knew she could use the company. I stayed to acclimate the cat and get them settled—and now, she loves her so much she won't let me have her back! Today, I'm a proud cat dad to Karl, a beautiful Tuxedo kitty boy I adopted from an animal shelter three years ago. He is incredibly attached to me, and raising him from a shelter rescue into a happy, loving companion has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior. Whether your cat is an outgoing cuddler like Karl or needs a patient presence who knows how to respect their independent boundaries, I'll ensure they get the attentive, affectionate care they deserve.

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.
“Virginia is an amazing pet sitter. She truly cares for the animals and the clients she is working with. She follows instructions well and gives updates daily and answers questions or concerns in a timely manner. She gave me peace of mind while I was away. 5 stars.”
About: Hi! My name is Abigail, I’ve cared for pets ever since I can remember. I worked in vet medicine for 5 years. I started in general practiced then switched to specialty and worked in Neurology, Emergency, and ICU. So if you have a special needs pup I can help! I am a stay at home momma that can go on a walk any time of the day. Unless your pup just wants cuddles in the grass I can do that too! My priority will be your pets comfort and happiness in their own home. I will leave your house as you left it if not slightly better with a full and happy pet (: I respect your home, your privacy and will make this an easy experience for you and your pet!
About: I've taken care of my friends and family's pets and am interested in branching out. I love to play around with animals but I can also be a couch potato at times. I am very flexible and accommodating. I am trustworthy and very responsible. I know how much I love my dogs and I would treat your pets with the same amount of care. I'm currently working part time from home, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I am available every weekday as my schedule is flexible. Plus, I can make availability for during the day on the weekends. Overnight boarding would be great as I build a relationship with your pet. I have a backyard for playing with your pet, a comfortable couch for the loungers and I live in a nice community for calm walks. I am available to care at your house or mine but the comfortability of the pet comes first.
About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
“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 have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends :) I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
About: I have never known a life without a pet of some kind. Having animals, I learned very early on the importance of responsibility as well as empathy for the feelings and lives of others. Just as we pay attention to human body language for cues, the same standard comes into play for animals. Because they can’t speak like we do, it is important to be attentive as well as respectful of their needs. I have 10+ years of experience from not only my own array of pets (dogs, geckos, horses, chickens, ratties, cats, etc), but also from my main line of work. I have been an in home nursing assistant for 5 years, beginning with taking care of my great grandmother and her dog in her home which blossomed into the career I know and love today. My integrity and compassion for both animals and humans has led to many opportunities for me. From walking dogs for neighbors and friends, grooming assistance, occasional medical assistance, Overnight sitting/boarding, and even small excursions for enrichment, all the way down to childcare in some cases. I am a child at heart and with animals, my spirit is at play. they bring just as much joy to my life as I hope to bring to theirs. I’d love to treat your furrever baby like my own while you’re away 🤍 I am currently taking a break from my human patients and putting more emphasis on building my animal care portfolio. I’d like to become a pet sitter/walker full time while back in school. I am able to provide A well enriched and attentive home with lots of toys and attention to offer. There is a park less than 5 minutes walking distance as well that I’d be happy to take your pet to visit for potty breaks and play, should that be okay with you. I don’t particularly like to crate dogs, however, if that is their safe space or they happen to be crate trained that’s no issue at all/is appreciated if they do not do well being left alone for an hour or so at a time. Communication is key and you will always be contacted should anything of concern arise.
About: Hello, my name is Valeria, let me introduce myself, in 2013 one of my classmates in high school gave me a Chihuahua dog. My dog became part of our family in a matter of seconds and we didn't have a pet in my family for eight years, I really like dogs since they are noble and sensitive animals. My mother loved him as if he were another of her children, well I just want you to feel confident leaving your dog with me knowing the same thing that he will be treated like another member of the family. Thank you Flexible schedule I'm not working at the moment I'm taking care of my eight-month-old baby and I need extra money Thank you :) :) :) Your pets will be safe with me since as I told you I'm not working at the moment they won't have problems with your pets they are in good hands
“Thank you so much! Stephanie and her husband were so great! I had the opportunity to meet your husband at the time of pick up. My sister had to do the pick up but she said you are extremely friendly. My puppy is happy to walk into your house! It’s super clean and it’s nice that they both enjoy taking care of my puppy. Maple will be returning 😁”
About: I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have consistently dog-sat for friends, so I’m confident handling different personalities and routines. I’m affectionate and attentive, but I’m also good at sticking to owners’ rules and training. I have a good sized house where the pet can stay wherever they are the most comfortable, and a fenced in backyard in a walkable neighborhood. We also have central AC for dogs who get hot easily. I work from home full-time with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for dogs that need day-time, late-night, overnight care , extra attention, companionship, or consistent supervision. I adapt to every dog’s personality and comfort level. Crate trained dogs are welcome, or they can relax as part of the family with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care to help them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have reasonable fees, flexible and happy to look after your doggie or kitty exactly the way you would like and give them all my attention. I’m retired, live with my 6 year old kitty & since I lost my 15 year old doggie in 2024. I am looking for another walking buddy each day. I would love to look after your fur babies in their own home so they are comfortable in their own surroundings and be stress free from overnight kenneling.

About: Hi, my name is Bree! Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again. I love all animals, but I feel most comfortable and confident with cats and smaller or lower energy dogs. I am also happy to care for other animals, like birds, fish, and reptiles. I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I have a strong attention to detail and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own. I am self-employed and work primarily from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. On days when I work outside the home, I can drop in before and/or after my other responsibilities. I treat all homes with respect and cleanliness, and will follow your instructions for care. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.
“We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!”
“Virginia was great with our dogs who can be a little mischievous at times and stubborn too. She was very communicative and even let me know about cuts on my dogs paws. both of my dogs are very large dogs and she handled them well.”
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.
“Kyra is excellent! A great communicator and ensures that issues are quickly addressed. She really took care of my girls and I can't recommend her enough. I will be using her again.”

“Monique is such an amazing pet guardian. She works well to accommodate and flexes with my schedule, is communicative and has such a calmness about her that my dog and cats all like and trust her. I’m at ease when I know my pets are under her care whenever I’m away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. Love taking walks and able to give meds. I am very sensitive to a dogs feelings and enjoy seeing them happy. I'll do whatever it takes. I am retired so I have plenty of time to spend and play with my furry friends! I'll be staying at your home, so I will stay close in the community. I also love to help people with their garden! I am great at following all instructions given by the owner. I take them on long walks, playing fetch and cuddling up on the couch with them.
“Janet went above and beyond not only with my pup Koa but also with my Mom who was staying at home babysitting my dog. She is super caring, excellent with dogs and great human being. Hope to have her back again soon.”
“Zoarel is an outstanding dog walker! Angel adores their time together, and I appreciate Zoarel's reliability and genuine love for animals. A great communicator and always attentive, she goes above and beyond to ensure Angel gets great exercise and care. I feel fortunate to have found such a trustworthy and caring dog walker like Zoarel.”
About: I love pets, I have the biggest heart for dogs and taking care of them is so fun for me. They are big fluff baby’s, I have a lot of patience for every pet. I’m currently working part time, and going to school so I have a few hours of my day to pet sit. I would be available more during weekends. I will only be providing dog walking, but if need be my house is fenced off and secure, I bring my dog here all the time from my other home.
“Very professional and Fenway took to Erica immediately. She was extremely thorough in meeting us as well as reviewing what Fenway would need going forward. Our cat actually came out of hiding to meet and interact with Erica, which was a great sign!”
About: I have 10 years experience with dogs and 3 with cats, I’m passionate about exercise and extend this to pets! I’m able to do home visits or take care of them at my apartment. I’m a UW grad student. I’m available Thursday-Sunday for pet care. I enjoy working with small to medium sized dogs and can take cats that aren’t afraid to meet new people (me) or that can warm up to me. I have a private 1 bedroom apartment for myself. My living room features a cat tree and many cat toys for needed stimulation. For dogs, I have toys and fidgets as well and enjoy taking them on walks or runs for me to achieve my daily move goals as well.
About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!
“Alanis is so wonderful. She walks our energetic golden retriever on occasions and our pup cannot wait to see her! She is very communicative and details our pup’s behavior and any concerns, etc. she may have. We feel so comfortable knowing we have her coming over to help out. She provides sweet love and care to our girl and we will continue to request Alanis’s help as often as we are able to!”
“We’ve been using Sam for a couple months now and have been consistently impressed with her service, attention to detail and care for our dog Jake. She is a true animal lover! She is excellent at communicating so we can plan our daily walks for Jake in advance and is very responsible and trustworthy! She sends pictures and message updates to us after each walk so we know how Jake is doing while we’re away at work, which we really enjoy and appreciate. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for care for their fur baby! Thanks Sam!”

“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking 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!”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Erica is a PRO. We did a meet and greet and she was incredibly thorough! Our pup stayed over night and the entire time Erica went updates and photos of our boy. He seemed safe, happy, and at home. We definitely will be using her again!”
“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!”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Chris was great with Bullet. He picked and dropped her off with my friend and my friend said bullet was a happy camper when she got home. Full spirits, which means she had a good time. Thank you Chris and family for taking her on short notice and accommodating and communicating well!”
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Mark and Christina was absolutely amazing with my two pups. They recommended a meet and greet ahead of time with the other dogs they were watching and I was so impressed by their patience and understanding when our dogs were a bit nervous. They were kind, communicative, and send adorable pictures throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend them and would definitely book with them again!”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Raquel and her family took great care of our dog Mia for a long weekend! She was very flexible and accommodating for drop off and pickup times as our plans changed. We loved getting photos and updates about how Mia was doing at their house. We definitely recommend Raquel as a caring and responsible dog sitter!”
About: I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for dogs! I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! I only accept one doggie family at a time, so your dog(s) will be the only ones here for boarding and doggie day care. I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“From the moment I reached out to the meet & greet and then dropping off my sweet boy, Adrian was very responsive, welcoming and made Cosmic feel right at home. She was in constant communication with me and sent me pictures and videos frequently to show just how well Cosmic adjusted as he is a shy dog at first. Cosmic can’t wait to be back playing with his new dog pals and he even made friends with her family. I highly recommend Adrian!”
“Josiane took great care of my fur baby, Copper. She sent pictures of how he was spending his vacation; walks around the lake, playing with toys and just lounging around. Next time I need to be out of town, wouldn’t hesitate to leave Copper in her care.”
“I love Todd and Bill! The one and only ones we choose to care for our beloved furry children! Always very communicative with updates and always lets us know what to expect. Always flexible with our pick up times which is awesome for those just in case moments. Overall. I would recommend them over and over again! We wouldn’t choose any one else.”
