About: Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent much of my free time learning about different breeds, canine behavior, body language, health, grooming, and training. As an adult, that passion has only grown, and I have been fortunate enough to turn my lifelong love of dogs into a career. I have over eight years of professional experience working with dogs, including six years as a groomer and trainer at a boarding, grooming, and training facility, followed by two years as a professional groomer in a veterinary setting. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed numerous online and in-person educational programs through organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and industry conferences including the Pasadena Groom & Kennel Expo. My continuing education has included canine behavior and body language, canine CPR and first aid, breed standards and breed-specific grooming techniques, behavior modification, working safely with aggressive dogs, and training dogs with behavioral challenges. I believe there is always more to learn, and I am passionate about continuing my education so I can provide the highest level of care possible. One of my greatest strengths is understanding canine body language and behavior. I am highly proficient at recognizing stress signals, fear responses, anxiety, overstimulation, excitement, and other behavioral cues. Over the years, I have worked with everything from easygoing family pets to dogs struggling with reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and other behavioral challenges. Understanding why a dog is behaving a certain way allows me to create a positive, safe, and low-stress experience tailored to each individual dog. I have also spent years fostering and grooming dogs for our local Humane Society, often taking on dogs that need extra patience, confidence-building, socialization, training, or behavioral support. Helping these dogs grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. My experience as a groomer has taught me the importance of being observant and proactive. Groomers often see dogs more frequently than veterinarians and spend extended periods of time closely examining a dog's skin, coat, ears, eyes, feet, movement, and overall condition. Throughout my career, I have helped many clients identify potential concerns that later warranted veterinary attention, including food and environmental allergies, chronic skin conditions, ear infections, unusual lumps or bumps, coat changes, mobility concerns, and other health issues. While I never diagnose medical conditions, I take pride in recognizing when something appears unusual and encouraging owners to seek veterinary care. In many cases, early recognition helped owners find answers sooner and allowed their pets to receive treatment before problems became more serious or caused prolonged discomfort. I currently live on 10 acres with my three dogs: two Chihuahua mixes that I adopted as foster failures from the Humane Society and a Standard Poodle who has become somewhat of a local celebrity. Thanks to my grooming experience, he is known for his creative trims and has won local Halloween costume contests. He has also participated in community events where he helped demonstrate proper grooming and brushing techniques for pet owners. His friendly, outgoing personality and love of meeting new people are a reflection of the training, socialization, and care that I believe every dog deserves. Every dog is unique, and I believe exceptional care starts with understanding each dog's individual personality, needs, and communication style. Whether your dog needs a fun place to stay, specialized handling, extra patience, or simply someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs, my goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My dogs are an important part of our family's daily life, and caring for animals is already built into my routine. Each day includes feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, grooming as needed, and plenty of affection. Because I live on 10 acres, there is ample space for walks, exploration, and outdoor time, all while being carefully supervised. I also make it a priority to monitor each dog's behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being so I can adapt activities to their individual needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, enjoys exploring outdoors, or prefers relaxing and receiving attention, I strive to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive the same level of attention and care that I give my own dogs. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are always my highest priorities. Before accepting a booking, I take the time to learn about each dog's personality, routine, temperament, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. At my home, dogs enjoy a spacious country setting on 10 acres. In addition to the large property, I have secure fenced areas available for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs are never left outdoors unattended, and I closely monitor all interactions between pets to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Because of my professional background in grooming, training, fostering, and canine behavior, I pay close attention to body language and behavior at all times. I am highly skilled at recognizing early signs of stress, anxiety, fear, overstimulation, or conflict and can make adjustments before situations escalate. New dogs are introduced thoughtfully and at a pace appropriate for their comfort level. I understand that not every dog enjoys socializing with other dogs, and some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. For this reason, I have the ability to safely separate dogs when needed and can accommodate dogs that prefer limited interaction, require individual attention, need separate feeding arrangements, or simply do better in a quieter environment. My goal is always to set each dog up for success based on their individual needs rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. I maintain fresh water at all times, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and take precautions to ensure dogs cannot access anything unsafe. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, providing owners with additional peace of mind that their pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps reduce stress and allows pets to feel secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, household rules, and special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. Every dog is unique, and my goal is always to create a safe, structured, low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, respected, and cared for like one of my own.
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Tim was GREAT with my puppy Frankie!!! He sent me pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. Tim has a great gated front yard for the dogs to play without worry about traffic or other animals. He was patient and answered questions even before I finalized the booking!! Tim has extensive knowledge of dogs as he also trains them. Thank you very much Tim for making my night a stress free one knowing my puppy was in good hands!!! Rhonda”
“We had a great experience with Jessica! She responded quickly, was kind, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our dog’s stay. Our pup seemed happy and well taken care of—we could tell he enjoyed his time there.”
“Camilla was the best Rover we have had! I truly felt like our dog Timu was on vacation while we were! She was so attentive to Timu with walks and adventures and she kept me updated with photos and updates every step of the way. If we leave town again or need a day stay I would absolutely use Camilla again. Highly recommend!”
“Thomas took care of our senior doggo Amara for a weekend while we were in town for a wedding. She got to hang out with him and his family while enjoying the backyard. Would definitely book with Thomas again if we're in the area!”
“Virginia was SO sweet and took such good care of my dogo. It was his first time being left with someone other than me or family & he LOVED it. She sent updates every day & communicated very well when I had mentioned I was nervous leaving him. He acted like he didn’t wanna leave when I picked him up! Definitely recommend!”
About: I love all kinds of animals. I have 2 schnauzers of my own, a kitten, and a hamster. I've pet sitted a bearded dragon and rescued an orphaned baby squirrel. There is no pet that I won't care for. I do have a huge soft spot for dogs as they are the pets that I have cared for the longest. I love going on walks and playing around. I used to volunteer at the LAAS shelter when I had more time. I received training from them on dog, kitten, rabbit, and hamster handling. I'm a full time student but my appartment does not allow me to hold more than my tiny kitten and my hamster. I would love to meet more pets which is what led me here. I make sure to keep pets inside or heavily supervised if they are allowed to go out in the yard. I am very careful with walking dogs as I am aware of how exciteable they are.
“Lola stayed with Abbigail for 2 days and everything went so well. She welcomed Lola as part of the family. We recommend Abbigail and will definitely use her again when we get the need for a pet sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lola”
About: Hi, I'm Tommy, my family and recently moved to Clearlake from Santa Rosa. I work nights and am home during the days, but my wife is here when I'm not and can help out if needed. We are all animal lovers here and enjoy having dogs. Unfortunately our own doggies have passed away recently. We aren't looking to get our own again just yet but would love to watch yours for a bit. :) I usually work from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. so I get home around 6:30 at which point I will let the dogs out for some yard time. My wife and son will be up around 7:00 and I know my son will be excited to go for a walk. My wife will be the caregiver until I wake up around 1:00 p.m. so one of us will be around at all times. We have a fenced fully fenced in yard and no other animals on the property, and there will always be someone here to take care of your pet.
“Diego was amazing from the moment we met him for a meet and greet to the end of Riceball's stay. It is clear he is very passionate about animals as he was very interested in knowing the behaviors and caring instructions for Riceball. He also didn't mind her usage of potty pads in the home and was really respectful in making sure he knew exactly how Riceball was cared for at home so he knew what to do. In addition, Riceball herself was really comfortable around Diego and that proves how great Diego is. From drop off to pick up, we did not feel worried or stressed knowing that Riceball was in Diego's care. We highly recommend Diego for dog boarding services! He truly cares and will do his absolute best to take great care of your pet!”
“Angie was an amazing sitter for Dottie. We got pictures and updates daily which made our time away from Dot easier. We love that we have Angie as an option now, we will definitely be back. Thanks Angie!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. Never had a dog not like me. The property is fully fenced 6 acres for your pups to run and play on! I have a very open schedule currently. I have plenty of time to play with, and care for guest pups. My schedule is picking up and dropping of kids:) We have a huge 6 acre fenced yard. Our dog is a big, sweet, female. She gets along with most dogs. And will be a great playmate!
About: I've worked with animals my whole life. From rescuing wild animals to domestic animals. I have experience with bathing dogs and cats. I have also cared for senior animals as well. I give my all to animals because I know what it's like to have no voice. I'm currently not working so I am available full time. I can pick up, walk, bathe, drive to appointments as well as any other needs you may have. I have a daughter who shares my love of animals as well as 2 cats who live in my home. I can shelter animals in my home for a short amount of time as I have an apartment which may be too small for some breeds. I walk take dogs for a walk every 2 hours or more depending on their needs. I would be more than willing to care for pets in their own home as well as I know it can be easier on the pet and pet parents. Anything you need I am here to help!

About: I’ve had cats since I was little, I have 4 cats at the moment. Cats are such interesting little creatures. They can be so curious and outgoing and yet other cats are not and tend to be more settled into their daily rnr and reserved. The cats we were able to rescue were feral and overbreeding constantly where we found them. We got the one female fixed recently and actually my landlord and friend was willing to adopt her to spoil her as she really wants to be an inside feline. Our four other cats live out on our farm operating as mouse security patrol, and they have done an excellent job and have room to explore on our acreage.
About: Caring for cats has always been a joy for me. I’ve spent years looking after them at home and have come to truly appreciate their unique personalities. Cats may be known for their independence, but they also have a deep need for affection and companionship—on their own terms, of course! I understand how to respect a cat's space while also recognizing those sweet moments when they want to cuddle, play, or simply sit nearby. From keeping their litter box clean to making sure they’re eating well and feeling secure, I provide the calm, attentive care that helps cats feel at ease in their own environment. Whether your kitty is shy or a total lap cat, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away.
“Christine is the best!!! I found her to be exactly the person I was hoping for as she is smart, kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. What a treasure. I had no worries at all. She is my person for future needs with my poodles.”
“Angelia was professional, friendly and down to earth from our first meeting with our cats. She patiently listened to me explain our "To Do" list and asked follow up questions. Our kitties met her and seemed very comfortable with her right away! Angelia's check ins were detailed with comments and several cute pics of our felines. She spent the full 30 minutes on each visit and we returned home to 2 happy cats! We highly recommend Angelia and will be comfortable with her cat sitting for us in the future!”
“Robin helped us with two drop in visits on a last minute notice. I called upon her services only a week in advance asking for her assistance to care for my two senior cats and large dog, which she never met before. She squeezed a meet and greet with us into her schedule the following day as she was going out of town for another job. She’s very knowledgeable about pet care and handling techniques. Having a conversation with her was easy. She followed written instructions that I had left for her and figured out how to handle some of my dog’s routines. She communicated with me during her visits and sent pictures to me of my dog. I will definitely contact her again when I need more assistance. Thank you, Robin!”

“Tim was absolutely wonderful with our Meeko! From the start, he was warm, friendly, and incredibly responsive. His positive energy immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Meeko in his care. Tim and Cali kept us updated with messages and photos, and even went the extra mile to make sure Meeko got plenty of exercise and attention. He also shared some great local tips with us, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care he gave our pup!”
“Diego was absolutely fantastic with my 13lb girl. He took time to meet her and learn about her personality and let her get adjusted. He asked a lot of important questions about her and is an extremely professional and sensitive care giver. By the end of her time with him, she allowed him to pick her up, which is a huge sign of trust for her. I would recommend Diego to any pet owner looking for someone to trust with their precious non-humans.”

We aren't looking to get our own again just yet but would love to watch yours for a bit. :) I usually work from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. so I get home around 6:30 at which point I will let the dogs out for some yard time.

About: Hello I’m a dedicated, honest, and reliable pet sitter/walker. I have loved animals my whole life, my family has always had multiple dogs at a time. I was 16 when I started working at a doggy day care (called stay and play dog care), where I got to work around no less than 15 dogs at a time and I absolutely loved it. I was in charge of walking, feeding, training, playing and occasionally staying the night with them. I have the ability to walk up to 8 dogs at one. I left that job for schooling to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I am currently working in the veterinary field but I would love to pet sit in my free time. I have crates and a fenced yard for any time dogs will have to be left alone but I try my best not to leave them while they are in my care. I will care for your pet like one of my own. I am currently home full time so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets while they’re in my care! While your pets are in my home they will have lots of toys to play with as well as fresh water in several different locations. I do recommend that you bring the food your pet is used to as the less change the better for your animals stress levels.
About: I have 40 years of loving care and training of personal pets including large breed dogs. But, I also have rescued and raised 2 cats, an exotic parrot, tortoise, turtle, possums, tarantula, rats and mice, ferret, hermit crabs, and fresh and saltwater aquariums. I am an Accredited Veterinary Assistant capable of administrating oral and injected medications. I volunteered for 2 years as a wildlife rehab and release specialist. Additionally I have had 5 years volunteering and training shelter dogs of all breeds. In Costa Rica, I started my own pet sitting and training business which I did for 1 1/2 years. I believe that all pets should be loved and cared for with the utmost respect. Your pet will be cherished.
About: Love all animals especially dogs. I live in a home with a large yard with two separate play areas. All boarding dogs should be socialized as I have a rottweiler lab mix who is a love bug and would love other dogs to play with. All dogs subject to coat check for fleas before accepting them. My fur baby is So far I have only had other dogs that are extremely loving and I would like to keep it that way. I am currently unemployed and have full time to make sure the dogs are given lots of attention. Dogs will be treated like family members. Pers will be allowed to go in and out freely and have two separately fenced areas. Generally they will be in the house with me.
“Very nice sitter. Has great size fenced in yard. Very friendly and accommodating (wasn't sure what time I would be picking up Sophia but was no problem). Highly recommend & will use again if available.”

About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.
About: Hello my name is Mark, making sure your pup is comfortable is extremely important to me. I assure you that they will receive the attention and room to explore that they need to enjoy their time with me. During my visit, you can expect your dog to: - Go on regular walks - Receive much needed attention - Enjoy other optional (with permission) activities like runs, hikes, and visits to lake - Get plenty of belly rubs! If you are interested in allowing me to care for your pup, I generally try to set up a meet and greet before the time of the stay. This allows me to observe how your dog will be with me, get us familiarized, and for you to tell me more about them. So let me know a good day and time you would like to arrange that! Here are other things I need to know about your dog: - Is he/she potty trained? - Anxieties or behavior issues - Medical issues or previous injuries - What your dog loves to do - Feeding schedules and amounts When I’m not walking your fur babies I am enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle with our 3 dogs, 4 cats and many chickens. It’s not work hanging out with dogs and cats all day just appreciating the beautiful outdoors together. I’ve found this to be true, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”. Just the wind blowing through the trees, peace and quiet and the occasional zoomiez parade of catch the leader from the dogs. My love and I had to give up quite a few things to be able to have the animals we now have. They are part of our family unit and each serve an integrated purpose in our lives and on our off grid adventure. I would like to open up my heart to you and your pups to put in the time and effort to show you that I have made room in my heart for you and your animals. I work part time and on call for a few different ventures as I was just able to return to working partially. I wear many hats Security/school district on call/catering help/ landscaping/ full time daddy/ now get paid to love on pets. I was a full time stay at home dad with young children previously. As they are checking off milestones I’m more available to spend more time with your fur babies. Currently I work Mondays and Tuesdays performing as a security professional. The rest of the week I’m flexible and open. I’m open to switching to more dog related or cat related care solely as spending time with animals is my passion. My utmost goal is to keep your beloved pet safe(period) taking caution to other dogs and environmental hazards. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own and care for them and show them affection to their hearts content. “Trust” is such a vital component from all sides. You are entrusting me with someone that is so vital to your world that you would scour to find someone trustworthy to safeguard this very important part of your family. I understand as I have my own.
About: I have experience in working as a kennel technician for Clearlake, Californias animal hospital and I have pet sit/ house watched and dog walked since my adolescent years. :) I truly enjoy meeting new animals to care for, building family/ friend relationships and helping my community with their pet care and needs. :D I have had many animals in my life, I currently do not have any at the moment. It’s a pleasure to enjoy the companionship and accompany any and all of the clients (owners) animals service requests through the Rover app. Please feel free to ask me anything about my pet care experience! I am able to do drop-ins and weekends. I love having a good idea of a routine for each animal I care for. It gives me a good idea of their needs, what they want and expect of me! I care for them with nothing but love. I offer about any services. Please do ask and share details for the basic or extensive care you desire and wish for your pets needs and everyday lifestyle and living essentials.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and over the years, it's become second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with both small breed dogs and cats, and I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quiet cuddles, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very attentive to pets’ bathroom cues and routines—an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I have a pug and a labrador at home, so I’m very familiar with both the playful energy of larger dogs and the special care smaller breeds often require. Your furry friend will be in loving, experienced hands! As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions without any rush. Because I’m home most of the time, your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can easily adapt to their schedule, whether that means early morning feedings, midday walks, or keeping them company during the quieter parts of the day. My flexible work setup allows me to be present, responsive, and fully committed to your pet’s comfort and well-being. At my home, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced yard, which is perfect for dogs to run, play, and get their exercise in a secure space. Whether it’s a quick potty break or some time to burn off energy, they’ll have room to move around freely and safely. Inside, I have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or just need a quiet, cozy space to relax. I always make sure pets feel at ease, whether they prefer lounging indoors, exploring the yard, or snuggling up for some one-on-one attention. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment.
About: I've worked with animals my whole life. From rescuing wild animals to domestic animals. I have experience with bathing dogs and cats. I have also cared for senior animals as well. I give my all to animals because I know what it's like to have no voice. I'm currently not working so I am available full time. I can pick up, walk, bathe, drive to appointments as well as any other needs you may have. I have a daughter who shares my love of animals as well as 2 cats who live in my home. I can shelter animals in my home for a short amount of time as I have an apartment which may be too small for some breeds. I walk take dogs for a walk every 2 hours or more depending on their needs. I would be more than willing to care for pets in their own home as well as I know it can be easier on the pet and pet parents. Anything you need I am here to help!
“Angelia was awesome with our dogs! She stopped by the house twice while we were away for the weekend and made sure the dogs had plenty of food and water and took them out for nice long walks. She was an excellent communicator and we look forward to booking Angelia in the future. Thank you!”
About: Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent much of my free time learning about different breeds, canine behavior, body language, health, grooming, and training. As an adult, that passion has only grown, and I have been fortunate enough to turn my lifelong love of dogs into a career. I have over eight years of professional experience working with dogs, including six years as a groomer and trainer at a boarding, grooming, and training facility, followed by two years as a professional groomer in a veterinary setting. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed numerous online and in-person educational programs through organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and industry conferences including the Pasadena Groom & Kennel Expo. My continuing education has included canine behavior and body language, canine CPR and first aid, breed standards and breed-specific grooming techniques, behavior modification, working safely with aggressive dogs, and training dogs with behavioral challenges. I believe there is always more to learn, and I am passionate about continuing my education so I can provide the highest level of care possible. One of my greatest strengths is understanding canine body language and behavior. I am highly proficient at recognizing stress signals, fear responses, anxiety, overstimulation, excitement, and other behavioral cues. Over the years, I have worked with everything from easygoing family pets to dogs struggling with reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, fear-based behaviors, and other behavioral challenges. Understanding why a dog is behaving a certain way allows me to create a positive, safe, and low-stress experience tailored to each individual dog. I have also spent years fostering and grooming dogs for our local Humane Society, often taking on dogs that need extra patience, confidence-building, socialization, training, or behavioral support. Helping these dogs grow and succeed has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work. My experience as a groomer has taught me the importance of being observant and proactive. Groomers often see dogs more frequently than veterinarians and spend extended periods of time closely examining a dog's skin, coat, ears, eyes, feet, movement, and overall condition. Throughout my career, I have helped many clients identify potential concerns that later warranted veterinary attention, including food and environmental allergies, chronic skin conditions, ear infections, unusual lumps or bumps, coat changes, mobility concerns, and other health issues. While I never diagnose medical conditions, I take pride in recognizing when something appears unusual and encouraging owners to seek veterinary care. In many cases, early recognition helped owners find answers sooner and allowed their pets to receive treatment before problems became more serious or caused prolonged discomfort. I currently live on 10 acres with my three dogs: two Chihuahua mixes that I adopted as foster failures from the Humane Society and a Standard Poodle who has become somewhat of a local celebrity. Thanks to my grooming experience, he is known for his creative trims and has won local Halloween costume contests. He has also participated in community events where he helped demonstrate proper grooming and brushing techniques for pet owners. His friendly, outgoing personality and love of meeting new people are a reflection of the training, socialization, and care that I believe every dog deserves. Every dog is unique, and I believe exceptional care starts with understanding each dog's individual personality, needs, and communication style. Whether your dog needs a fun place to stay, specialized handling, extra patience, or simply someone who genuinely understands and loves dogs, my goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like one of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My dogs are an important part of our family's daily life, and caring for animals is already built into my routine. Each day includes feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, grooming as needed, and plenty of affection. Because I live on 10 acres, there is ample space for walks, exploration, and outdoor time, all while being carefully supervised. I also make it a priority to monitor each dog's behavior, comfort level, and overall well-being so I can adapt activities to their individual needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, enjoys exploring outdoors, or prefers relaxing and receiving attention, I strive to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive the same level of attention and care that I give my own dogs. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are always my highest priorities. Before accepting a booking, I take the time to learn about each dog's personality, routine, temperament, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. At my home, dogs enjoy a spacious country setting on 10 acres. In addition to the large property, I have secure fenced areas available for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Dogs are never left outdoors unattended, and I closely monitor all interactions between pets to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Because of my professional background in grooming, training, fostering, and canine behavior, I pay close attention to body language and behavior at all times. I am highly skilled at recognizing early signs of stress, anxiety, fear, overstimulation, or conflict and can make adjustments before situations escalate. New dogs are introduced thoughtfully and at a pace appropriate for their comfort level. I understand that not every dog enjoys socializing with other dogs, and some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. For this reason, I have the ability to safely separate dogs when needed and can accommodate dogs that prefer limited interaction, require individual attention, need separate feeding arrangements, or simply do better in a quieter environment. My goal is always to set each dog up for success based on their individual needs rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. I maintain fresh water at all times, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and take precautions to ensure dogs cannot access anything unsafe. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, providing owners with additional peace of mind that their pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps reduce stress and allows pets to feel secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, household rules, and special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. Every dog is unique, and my goal is always to create a safe, structured, low-stress environment where they feel comfortable, respected, and cared for like one of my own.

“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Tim was GREAT with my puppy Frankie!!! He sent me pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. Tim has a great gated front yard for the dogs to play without worry about traffic or other animals. He was patient and answered questions even before I finalized the booking!! Tim has extensive knowledge of dogs as he also trains them. Thank you very much Tim for making my night a stress free one knowing my puppy was in good hands!!! Rhonda”
“We had a great experience with Jessica! She responded quickly, was kind, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our dog’s stay. Our pup seemed happy and well taken care of—we could tell he enjoyed his time there.”
“Camilla was the best Rover we have had! I truly felt like our dog Timu was on vacation while we were! She was so attentive to Timu with walks and adventures and she kept me updated with photos and updates every step of the way. If we leave town again or need a day stay I would absolutely use Camilla again. Highly recommend!”
“Thomas took care of our senior doggo Amara for a weekend while we were in town for a wedding. She got to hang out with him and his family while enjoying the backyard. Would definitely book with Thomas again if we're in the area!”
“Virginia was SO sweet and took such good care of my dogo. It was his first time being left with someone other than me or family & he LOVED it. She sent updates every day & communicated very well when I had mentioned I was nervous leaving him. He acted like he didn’t wanna leave when I picked him up! Definitely recommend!”
“Lola stayed with Abbigail for 2 days and everything went so well. She welcomed Lola as part of the family. We recommend Abbigail and will definitely use her again when we get the need for a pet sitter. Thank you for taking care of Lola”
“Diego was amazing from the moment we met him for a meet and greet to the end of Riceball's stay. It is clear he is very passionate about animals as he was very interested in knowing the behaviors and caring instructions for Riceball. He also didn't mind her usage of potty pads in the home and was really respectful in making sure he knew exactly how Riceball was cared for at home so he knew what to do. In addition, Riceball herself was really comfortable around Diego and that proves how great Diego is. From drop off to pick up, we did not feel worried or stressed knowing that Riceball was in Diego's care. We highly recommend Diego for dog boarding services! He truly cares and will do his absolute best to take great care of your pet!”

She gets along with most dogs. And will be a great playmate!
“Karen was amazing!! It was a short notice and she welcomed Rascal with open arms. I had a fear of leaving g him with someone as he's a bit of a nipper. But Karen and Rascal got along from the beginning. She helped him out and trained him as well as made him feel comfy and at home. Will for sure work with Karen again on my next need to house Rascal. Thanks Karen!!!”
“John and Zoe were very thoughtful in their care of Coconut. She had a great time playing with their dog, running around in the yard, and going on walks with them! We got cute photos and an update daily. Will be using them again if we’re in Sea Ranch in the future!”
About: I have always had a love of all animals from small to big. I love to be around dogs and play as much as I can. While in my care, I will take the dogs for an active walk and then let them run around the dog park for an hour. Sometimes longer if they are having a lot of fun. It's a solo walk right now but I have walked two at a time in the past. There are other times where I will just take them to the park and run them around and then walk back home. While in the home they will be showered in love and fun play time. Followed by more love and any snacks that you leave for your furry kids.
“Absolutely amazing person, and wonderful pet sitter. I cant tell you how happy it made me that my dog had a great little doggy vacation with Leslie while we were on a human only vacation. My chihuahua is extremely attached to me and gets separation anxiety for about a day or two when he’s not with me. Leslie was able to get him to be comfortable with her immediately. I got pictures and text updates every day, she made sure they had nice long stimulating walks, and even bought him some skin and coat treats when she realized he had itchy skin. We would 10000000% have her sit him again.”
About: I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends for the last 4 years as well as worked two years at a boarding and daycare kennel, and have a few months of veterinary experience. I’m currently working part time, so I have weekends and my evenings after work open for dog walking, potty breaks, or boarding stays. My availability will vary weekly. I have a nice fenced yard free of anything that could cause harm. I lap have a sweet Australian shepherd who loves to play. I am able to crate your dog if needed.
