“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Patrick was great! Our two dogs were well taken care of and well exercised. He was good with communication and sending photo updates. Would happily send our dogs to his house again.”
“Nicole is the best!!! She’s so communicative, flexible, and sweet with our pup. Our dog bolts out of the car to see her at drop off, which makes our trip so much easier. So grateful for Nicole and her partner!”
“Brayden and Noel were both amazing! I had to leave on a work trip and left my girl Skye with them for four days. When I picked her up, she was so happy and clearly very well taken care of.”
“Highly recommend Jenean! This was the first time leaving my puppy with someone else, and I felt comfortable knowing that my dog would be the only one Jenean was caring for at the same time. She has a lovely home, a sweet personality, and took my dog for daily walks. She also was wonderfully easy to work with -- VERY responsive to text messages. Will definitely re-book for future trips!”
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
“James and family were fantastic. James is very good with dogs and Bob seemed to bond with him immediately, so I felt very comfortable leaving him. James made sure to text me if he had a question and he sent me picture updates at the end of each day. I will certainly ask James to watch Bob again. Thanks, Tim”
“It’s the second time we’ve used Michael, and he’s been terrific. He’s super responsive and provides lots of updates. Plus, the dogs always come back happy. Thanks for everything Michael. Ivy and Jake are looking forward to coming back!”
“Stefanie is amazing! We were nervous when our original sitter didn’t work out for our 6 month old puppy, but were able to book Stefanie and were beyond impressed! She is very experienced, knowledgeable, sweet and caring. I love that she communicated with us daily and sent photos as well. It put our kinds as ease while we were away. You can tell just how much Stefanie loves caring for pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her. You will not be disappointed and your furry friend will have the best time ❤️”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“Natalie was amazing. She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciate how reliable, kind, and attentive she was. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you so much! 🐾🩵”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“Kamila is an excellent caregiver! I have two French Bulldogs who I was very nervous about leaving with anyone and Kamila took them in to her home and treated them like her babies. Kamila went above and beyond! I recommend her to anyone looking for their fur babies to be well taken care of!”
“Casey and Sarah were amazing! We booked with them super last minute and they even offered to have a quick FaceTime with us beforehand which really made us feel comfortable. We got the cutest updates of our pup and felt really at ease with her in their care. Definitely will book with them again in the future!”
“Valerie was wonderful with our dog Sadie! She was attentive and very detail oriented. Her only concern was Sadie. She was extremely accomodating to our unique situation. Sadie stayed with our friend prior to Valerie's assigned position and she picked up Sadie from our friends house! The transition went smoothly and everyone was happy. I also appeciated that Valerie meet us at our house with Sadie and her belongings when we returned from our Thanksgiving vacation. I would definately reccommend Valerie :)”

“Genaro is a top-level communicator (with humans and dogs) and had me rest assured that my pup was well watched after. He’s super diligent and trustworthy. I highly recommend him.”
“Elena was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Luka, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was about checking in and keeping us updated. I loved receiving the daily photos she captured and her updates always made me smile. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luka's well-being and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter and look forward to rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Elena!”
“Alexis is wonderful. She did great with our very high maintenance cat and we loved the detailed reports about how she was doing while we were out of town. We look forward to having her again!”
“I’d definitely recommend Catherine. We went on a long vacation to Europe and had Catherine drop in on our two cats every day. She looked after them so well, they are throughly spoilt and my anxious boy didn’t show any outward signs of being overly anxious (he has pulled his back fur out during previous trips. We will definitely be contacting Catherine when we atr looking for cat care in the future”
“Valerie always takes such great care of my senior cat. She’s caring, thorough, and dependable. Anyone that hires her is lucky to have them care for their pets. I highly recommend her!”
About: We always had pets while I was growing up, mostly dogs and cats. I first adopted a dog on my own when I was in my early 20s, a beautiful chocolate lab named Riley. When I got engaged to be married, we rescued a small dog, Niko - our first baby. Niko sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 17. She is greatly missed. In more recent years we brought Huckleberry into the family as a small puppy. He is a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. He was Niko's best friends. We have always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, rats, etc. I am recently divorced and missing being around Huckleberry every day, and I would love to meet your beloved pet and would enjoy a check-in or a walk. I am currently doing consulting for a variety of companies in the medical technology space, providing me plenty of time to hang out with your dogs. Weekend days are the most wide-open, but during the week I also have plenty of time each day. I cannot host pets in my home and am available to drop-in and pick up dogs for walks from a client's home. Any care during a check-in or walk would be through gentle care and support, and hopefully some fun for all. I will talk with the client about any specific needs and requests.
“Matt is absolutely wonderful - conscientious, kind, prompt, and friendly. We couldn’t have hoped for better care for our cats. He went the extra mile to make sure everything was tidy and the cats were at ease. Thank you Matt!”
About: My name is Kelly and I’ve been caring for pups for 5 years, and behavior coach and trainer for 2. My passions focus on giving each pup the best experience, whether that’s through enrichment games, cuddles, or extra walks. You’ll feel like you never left with plenty of pupdates I’ll send your way. In my free time, you’ll find me training at the rescue and helping pups find their furever homes or working with kids. I provide a hands-on experience with my pups I care for, anticipating that I’ll work with various ages or needs. I can be as involved as you need me. Unfortunately my pet boardings are on hold for now. I currently provide house sittings, walks, and drop-ins. When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.
“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
About: Cat sitting with calm, care, and lots of love. 🐱 Cats have their own unique rhythms, and I fully respect that. Whether your kitty is playful and curious or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them where they’re most comfortable. With 16 years of pet care experience and a background in a veterinary clinic, I’m confident handling all kinds of feline personalities — from the bold to the bashful. I make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent, their space stays clean, and their days are filled with gentle attention, comfort, and care. Whether it’s feeding time, litter duty, or just some chin scratches and quiet company, I’ve got it covered — so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Tatiana was amazing! Not only did she take great care of our cat while we were gone, she always made sure that our cat always had clean water and litter box, and even cleaned the living area and made our bed! Tatiana went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy at all times, and she genuinely cared about our cat as if it were part of her own family. I can’t recommend Tatiana enough.”
“I truly cannot recommend Xiaomin more! I had a nightmare emergency where I couldn't make it home that night, and it was already getting dark. I had an EXTREMELY last minute request and she replied within like 30 minutes and took the gig. Everyone else was denying me because it was so last minute and it's' definitely understandable, but Xiaomin went above and beyond and kept my babies safe and fed!!! Not only that, but she went out of her way to help out with sooo much more than just feeding them which was my only request that time bc I was so desperate. But I saw that she had cleaned litter, swept up the litter all over the floor, brought packages in, etc. That is literally the definition of going above and beyond!!! I was so worried and I knew my friends could've helped but Xiaomin was literally the first to reply out of EVERYONE and pulled through ASAP. She seriously saved my cats that night and I couldn't be more grateful for. I will 10000% book again without a single doubt in my mind. Thank you Xiaomin, you are a lifesaver!”
“Andrielle did an amazing job taking care of Cleo, as well as bringing in mail & deliveries & watering plants! Cleo was happy when I got home which says a lot about being taken care of by someone new. I highly recommend Andrielle!”

“Ulunma was incredibly flexible with her schedule to accommodate mine! She texted me pics and updates throughout my dogs stay and her husband and son were just as friendly. I felt super at ease leaving my baby in their care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Frances and lucy Showed Millie a really nice time! LUCY is a gentle and sweet companion and made Millie feel right at home. Very happy with the flexibility too! So excited for more bookings”
“Everything about our family's experience with Patrick was a breeze. He was kind and responded to messages in under 5 minutes. Arranging the booking, the drop off, and the pick up was beyond easy. In addition, even though we only dropped our dog off for day care, Patrick made sure to send us thoughtful updates and many photos that showed our dog enjoying himself alongside the hostess, Sophie, Patrick's dog. Our dog came back happy and blissfully tired from a day of fun. We highly recommend Patrick to anybody looking for a kind and thoughtful caregiver for their dog.”
“I reached out to Mia last minute as our regular sitter fell threw. She quickly responded to my request and was great with our maltipoo pups. They were calm and happy after we picked them up. Thank you, Mia!”
“We absolutely love our pet sitter! River always comes home happy, tired, and excited after his visits. It’s clear he is well cared for and enjoys spending time there. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands, and we truly appreciate the love, attention, and care he receives every time. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
About: Hello! My name is Andrielle I’m a very experienced dog walker that you may see around Anywhere from Lafayette/Walnut Creek to Alameda out and about with one of my furry friends! I know the fundamentals of taking care of dogs and walking them professionally, while my philosophy is based on trust and respect (to dogs and their owners!) I currently have openings in my schedule to add more dogs into my day and am happy to work with you to find the right times that fit your needs! I have a car so I can come to you wherever you and your fur live! What I do normally is walk the dogs in your neighborhood, but if trail hiking is something you’re interested in for your buddy than that is also a possibility! I work with dogs young and old, so if your dog has energy we run, if your dog needs to take their time we go slow and enjoy the scenery. Anyways I like to think...dogs are born to run...and I’m ready to walk them! Thanks! I am able to give your fur baby my full attention because I am a full time dog walker. Other than being a dog walker I'm working on my real estate career in the side. Most importantly I am mother of two little ones that grew up loving dogs as much as their mama. I'm a passionate animal lover and am caring and know how important it is to take care of those you love so I will always be there when you and your fur baby need me. I no longer have pets in our home that's why I love taking care of your pets because I love animals! I follow instructions carefully to make sure that your little fur loves get everything they need!
“Thank you Valerie for looking after our Biscuit. It was Biscuit first time at Daycare and you did an amazing job making it easy for Biscuit to adjust. We will be in touch again for another Daycare day soon. God bless.”
About: I’ve been working with animals since my teenage years, including 2 years at a pet store and assisting at multiple dog expos starting at age 16. I’ve owned and raised dogs throughout my life—one lived to 17 years old, and I currently have a 3-year-old friendly miniature poodle. I personally house-trained both of my dogs and have strong hands-on experience with daily care routines, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming (for cooperative dogs), and light grooming such as basic haircuts. I’m comfortable managing a structured, calm environment and have experience caring for multiple pets at home, including my two outdoor cats. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We are a family of six, and I am home 24/7, so dogs will never be left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule that allows for regular walks, supervised outdoor time, and attention throughout the day. My large gated property makes it easy to provide safe exercise, and we structure the day to keep dogs calm, engaged, and well cared for. Dogs in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment with 24/7 supervision, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time on our large, fully gated property, as well as long walks in our safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. Safety is our priority—we introduce dogs carefully, feed separately when needed, and adjust supervision and leash use based on each dog’s personality. Our friendly miniature poodle helps create a welcoming environment.
About: ⸻ Hi, I’m Darya — your pet’s new best friend. 🐾 With over 16 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, and a background working in a veterinary clinic, I bring a deep understanding of animals and their needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior cat, or a nervous rescue, I care for every pet with patience, love, and a whole lot of heart.

Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With over 16 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking — and a background working in a veterinary clinic — caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I approach each day with patience, reliability, and a calm energy that animals respond to. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
“Sarah did such a great job watching me and my mom's 3 dogs for 10+ hours. She kindly offered an hour of her time for a meet and greet for my mom's 2 shy and nervous dogs before their stay. She sent comprehensive updates and photos in a timely manner and was very responsive to our questions. Her home was clean and organized and looked like a pleasant space for our dogs to spend the day. When we visited, she swiftly moved all the other dogs into separate bedrooms so that ours weren't bombarded as they entered and were able to get comfortable. We didn't hear a peep from the other dogs (not one bark!) as we gave her a quick rundown of their personalities/mealtimes/etc. She took them out with her "small dog" group to their neighborhood dog park for over 45 minutes. My mom and I are very satisfied with her services and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Our Australian shepherd had an awesome time playing with Brodie the golden doodle all day on Christmas Eve. He seemed really happy all day and he slept really well that night! It worked out perfectly. Thank You!”
“Lisa and Cameron were absolutely wonderful with Poe! We needed someone to watch him for a few hours over three consecutive days while we had construction happening at our house and my husband and I had unusual work schedules, and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the whole thing. Poe clearly had the best time staying with them: playing in their backyard, going on walks, and spending time with their family and kids. We have a baby on the way, so it was especially nice knowing he was getting some positive time around younger kids, and Lisa and Cameron said he did great with them. They also sent us adorable photos and videos every day, which we loved. Poe came home happy, tired, and ready for a very good sleep after getting so much attention and exercise! This was our first time having Lisa and Cameron watch Poe, but we would absolutely book with them again. They are such warm, friendly people and clearly great with dogs. We felt completely comfortable leaving Poe with them and highly recommend them!”
“Thank you Sant and family for taking such lovely care of Leopold. He loves being reminded of how fancy he is.....much appreciated words of praise and smiles. We look forward to future visits”
About: I have a wide range of experience with pets, ranging from the basic dogs and cats to hedgehogs, turtles and hamsters. I love them all and will care for them as if they were my own. I’m a stay at home mom who enjoys helping folks in my community care for their pets while they are away. I understand how comforting it is to have someone you can trust to take diligent care of your pet while you are gone. I will take the time to make it ‘life as normal’ for your pet while you are away. Not just rushing to get through the home check in, but giving them quality time, attention and care.
“Our pup had another great visit with Darren and his family! She is happy and comfortable during drop off and pick up. She loves to play with their dog and they take her on walks. We are grateful for Darren M and his family doggie daycare.”
“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”
“Marien was a blessing to our fur baby Guapo. She was so kind and patient and really took care of him. He looked so happy and really enjoyed himself! We are super thankful for her and think she’s amazing. I haven’t let anyone watch him yet alone it’s my first time leaving him and she made it so seamless. Neither of us were anxious about the experience. 😭 I highly recommend Marien.”

“Kateryna has been an amazing walker! Our feisty girl Eve loves her and really listens to her. Not only does she come back from walks fulfilled and tired I have also noticed a difference in her overall listening and leash training. 10/10!”
“Felix was a wonderful dog walker and support for our housesitter while we were away for 9 days. Our dog took to him right and away, and if you said “Felix,” our dog would race to the gate wagging her tail :). Felix was prompt and responsive on texts…we are so appreciative to have found him!”
“Brandi did a great job walking Teddy each day and sending updates with pictures. Teddy clearly enjoyed his walks and the care Brandi gave him, including food and treats. Thank you!”
“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie is wonderful to work with. She is prompt, reliable and truly loves animals. I felt completely comfortable with her walking our dogs. She asked many questions about them and took time observe their behavior and gave them yummy treats. Would definitely recommend Valerie!”
About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!
“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”
“Andy is a lifesaver! She stepped up in a moments notice when our Stella's needs changes. Stella was very well cared for and we got updated photos all the time. You'd be very lucky to use Andy. I know we will be again, often, in the future.”
About: I found my kitten when he was two days old next to a tire in a parking lot - brought him home and had to bottle feed him every 2 hours. He’s now thriving over 4 months old! I also used to have a senior dog a couple of years ago (he passed at 17) who was in diapers, blind, and couldn’t really hear. I have experience with big dogs too (such as german shepherds). I’m a student and I’m currently taking online classes, so I have a good amount of free time, and would be more than happy to take care of your pets :) I don’t offer services in my own home, however, when pet sitting in yours, they will be watched closely and with much care! Your pet is the #1 priority.
About: We always had pets while I was growing up, mostly dogs and cats. I first adopted a dog on my own when I was in my early 20s, a beautiful chocolate lab named Riley. When I got engaged to be married, we rescued a small dog, Niko - our first baby. Niko sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 17. She is greatly missed. In more recent years we brought Huckleberry into the family as a small puppy. He is a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. He was Niko's best friends. We have always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, rats, etc. I am recently divorced and missing being around Huckleberry every day, and I would love to meet your beloved pet and would enjoy a check-in or a walk. I am currently doing consulting for a variety of companies in the medical technology space, providing me plenty of time to hang out with your dogs. Weekend days are the most wide-open, but during the week I also have plenty of time each day. I cannot host pets in my home and am available to drop-in and pick up dogs for walks from a client's home. Any care during a check-in or walk would be through gentle care and support, and hopefully some fun for all. I will talk with the client about any specific needs and requests.
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
About: My golden retriever Bearon lived to be 15.5 years old. He’s large dog, sweet, trustworthy and funny. My Grandmother lived to be 105 always had a dog. Our family takes care animals like they just as important as humans. My availability is asap. Special skills would be to treat your animal like you prefer and make them feel at home. Key factors such as trust, safety and communication. These essential skills are very important to make sure the animal is alright and in good hands. Dogs emulate their owners and how you treat them makes all the difference in the world. Overall dog backwards is god so with that said it’s great meaning and represents a biblical term. Thank god for dogs on our planet I plan my day around my dog. I love to have a routine. That way the dog knows what to expect. For instance food and drink at the same hour. I treat other dogs like my own. We can go inside or outside. I’m very flexible to completely understand them. I think gods are sensitive.

Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With over 16 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking — and a background working in a veterinary clinic — caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I approach each day with patience, reliability, and a calm energy that animals respond to. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I always respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s routine — from feeding schedules and walk times to their favorite toys and nap spots. I create a calm, familiar environment so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax, play, and enjoy lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce them to the space and tailor everything to their individual needs — whether that means quiet corners, slow-paced walks, or plenty of playtime. No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
About: We adore animals of all kinds. We have hardwood floors for accidents, and filtered water. We have a fenced yard for running around with our kids and potty, always allow indoor access, and we don’t leave your pet alone. James has volunteered at the Dog Shelter for years, has CPR/Rescue training(for humans) and an understanding of CPR and first aid for dogs. After many years of dog sitting, we've welcomed a variety of different dogs (around 50+ at last count) into our home. We have administered eye creams, injections, and many other medicines. We don't clip nails. We are happy to send pictures and videos and even facetime or video chat by request. James works from home, and we typically go for two walks a day so we are always happy to have a guest pet with us. We have thoughtfully organized our home to avoid dangerous substances, escape issues, and to ensure maximum joy and safety! We would love to give you a tour during a meet and greet.
“My German Shepard absolutely loves Katja. Katja is just amazing with him. He waits patiently at the door for her to show up to take him on walks every single time. It’s super adorable! Katja is so kind, fun and responsible. We love her and feel so lucky to have found her.”

“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
“James and family were fantastic. James is very good with dogs and Bob seemed to bond with him immediately, so I felt very comfortable leaving him. James made sure to text me if he had a question and he sent me picture updates at the end of each day. I will certainly ask James to watch Bob again. Thanks, Tim”
“It’s the second time we’ve used Michael, and he’s been terrific. He’s super responsive and provides lots of updates. Plus, the dogs always come back happy. Thanks for everything Michael. Ivy and Jake are looking forward to coming back!”
“Stefanie is amazing! We were nervous when our original sitter didn’t work out for our 6 month old puppy, but were able to book Stefanie and were beyond impressed! She is very experienced, knowledgeable, sweet and caring. I love that she communicated with us daily and sent photos as well. It put our kinds as ease while we were away. You can tell just how much Stefanie loves caring for pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her. You will not be disappointed and your furry friend will have the best time ❤️”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my pet (who was the love of my life) passed away. She was a high-needs dog with extreme separation anxiety and leash aggression, so I have skills to handle that type of pet. From then until now, I have focused on raising my children. I miss the company of animals, and I am wanting to be around them! My kids love animals, so your pet would get lots of cuddles while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three. Two of my kids are in school, and the other stays home with me. We have lots of time on our hands to attend to the needs of your pet! If boarding at my home: I have two yards that are completely fenced in. I also have three animal-loving children. We let animals on the furniture. Our home is their home ☺️ If dropping in while you’re away or doing walk: My days are fully open starting at 9am. With kids at home, things get busy again at 5pm. Drop-ins would need to be between those hours. I can also visit again after my kids go down for bed which is usually 7:30pm. My child loves stroller walks, so hopefully your pet does too! Having a pet myself, I know how important it is to make your baby feel as calm and regulated as possible while you’re away. Putting them with a loving and responsible caretaker while you’re away is not a decision taken lightly. I hope I can be that for you and your family.
“Kamila is an excellent caregiver! I have two French Bulldogs who I was very nervous about leaving with anyone and Kamila took them in to her home and treated them like her babies. Kamila went above and beyond! I recommend her to anyone looking for their fur babies to be well taken care of!”
“Casey and Sarah were amazing! We booked with them super last minute and they even offered to have a quick FaceTime with us beforehand which really made us feel comfortable. We got the cutest updates of our pup and felt really at ease with her in their care. Definitely will book with them again in the future!”
“Sofiia and her husband were absolutely amazing with our dog! They took her in last minute and were so caring and attentive! Will definitely be using again! Our dog came back happy and rested.”
“My dog had the best time with Peter. She was well cared for and Peter was great with communication while we were away. We will definitely bring our dog back for a future stay.”
“Beth and Jeff took amazing care of my dog Fatima. I was nervous leaving her because I have only left her once before. However, Beth and Jeff have an amazing house with a huge backyard and allow the dogs free range of the area. In addition they allow the dogs to choose their sleep place. It was important to me that Fatima would not be crated during her stay. Beth and Jeff sent many updates with pictures showing Fatima’s playtime and rest time and eating. They even provided her with a slow feeder when they noticed she ate too fast! Amazing care takers who clearly care about my dogs well being and health and who want to ensure your dog has the best experience while they stay with them. It is evident they love dogs, understand dog behavior, how to read dog communication, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and adjust to the environment while they stay there. I highly recommend Beth and Jeff and will use their services again in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me peace of mind while I was away! And thank you so much for giving Fatima a safe and amazing stay with you guys! I am so incredibly grateful. 🙏 ❤️”
“Chris took good care of Mia, who seemed very comfortable with the stay. We appreciated the daily updates as well as Chris' friendliness and positivity. Would not hesitate to have Mia stay again.”
“Robert and Brian, again, were wonderful with Nada. We feel quite comfortable leaving her with them and will absolutely leave her with them again. Thank you both ❤️”
“Cara is amazing!! We have two reactive dogs, and I was concerned that they would not warm up to a caregiver. Cara was patient and they warmed right up to her. She took great care of them and provided me with daily updates. She took them on walks, let them explore outside, and provided a comforting space for them to lounge and rest. I highly recommend Cara.”
“Virginie, Max and their 2 amazing daughters were amazing with my dog ! My husband and I needed to take a 4 week trip back home and had been super nervous about boarding our dog with someone for so long. We had him stay with Virginie and Max a couple times prior to this trip and he always did great. But 4 weeks is a lot ! They were amazing with him. We got daily pictures and videos of how he was being pampered and loved. I never noticed any signs of stress. Their daughters were obsessed with my dog ( and vice versa lol). Not for a single day while we were away did we get nervous or did they give us a reason to worry. I will definitely be boarding my pup with them in the future as well, because I'm pretty convinced my dog is misisng them more than he missed me. :P I cannot recommend them enough!”
