“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Pico was so well taken care of, and his stay was smooth from beginning to end. I was sent regular updates with pictures and video, so I appreciate the helpful and thoughtful communication. We will definitely be using their services again for Pico!”
“Until recently, we had never left our pup with someone else overnight. When we met Lucy, we knew she was a great fit for our Kona. After an intro meeting, day long sit and then a 2 night stay, we knew she was ready for a 9 night stay. It took a while for her anxiety and walls to come down, but Lucy was so patient and kind with Kona. We looked forward to our updates, especially the videos and photos, and came to call them ‘Lucy Grams’. It was so comforting to see our girl having fun and Lucy’s two pups are great companions. Would definitely use Lucy any time!”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Dana was super great with my Pit Brewsky! He made himself right at home! She definitely has the magic touch when it came to trimming his nails; he is VERY sensitive to anyone touching his paws/nails and she was able to work with him successfully! She gave great feedback and advice based on his personality and needs as well. Dana will be our go to sitter from now on!! 🤍”
“Nazgul took very good care of my dog, she updated me daily with pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and will definitely use her services next time I’m out on vacation.”
“Rachel was absolutely incredible! She took care of our Chip over the holidays and he had a great stay with her and her pups. She was super responsive, friendly, sent us lot of pictures, and we were so happy to know he was getting lots of love and attention from her. We pile definitely recommend Rachel and book with her again in the future.”
“Sana and her family were great with our little brat. She kept a good amount of daily updates and was very quick to communicate with any questions we had. Bentley came home happy and content. Thank you family for caring for our old baby.”
“Marta was absolutely incredible!! I was nervous to leave my baby puppy since I never had before. But as soon as I met Marta I knew he would be in good hands. Her dog is very well trained and she even helped keep up training while we were gone. He got so much love and stimulation that he was tired for two days after! We can’t wait to use Marta again!”
“Sarah was great for my golden retriever Bodie. She made sure he and the other dogs got out to play before the heat and even provided a little wading pool. And she sent me many pictures while I was gone.”
“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”
“Sandra has been the best dog boarder we’ve had in Fallbrook and we’ve tried several. Our dog was so well taken care of and her property is perfect for our guy to roam around. We will seek out Sandra for all future boarding needs.”
“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Chong and her family were very sweet and gentle with my little 6 pound Yorkie and my 12 pounder said she had a very fun time! I would call Chong back anytime I need my puppies cared for. Thank you Chong!”

“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
“Linda took great care with our 4 cats! We have a senior cat and 3 younger cats that needed medicine/pills. Linda was even great with my shy cat. We received daily reports and photos. I highly recommend Linda.”

“We were very anxious to leave our cat Bambi alone for the weekend for the first time and even more stressed when our sitter fell through last minute. Dana was incredibly attentive and patiently accepted all of our requests for Bambi on short notice. I definitely felt so much more assured that Bambi wouldn’t be completely alone and would have someone as compassionate as Dana to accompany him :-) Dana’s updates on Bambi during check ins really reassured us that Bambi was doing well. and in good hands :-) i would definitely consider Dana again in the future ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. Grew up in the country enjoying the luxury of having many fur babies. I also spent many years volunteering at a humane society, learning about the different dog breeds. I specialized in the rescue cases. I know how hard it is to juggle work, travel, etc. when you have pets. I want to help ease your worries. I’m here to help! I recently just relocated from Hawaii so my schedule is very open while I look for full time employment. I’m here for whatever your pet needs. I will follow your pet care instructions that best suits your fur baby. Each pet is different in their needs and wants so I will customize for each.
“We were very happy with Noemy, the cats are not used to us not being here and she actually sent pictures of them and they did not hide the entire time (this is huge!!!!!) Will definitely be a repeat customer”
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 😉 and a reliable animal lover who loves keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I grew up with cats and dogs and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family when they travel. I’m happy to care for pets based on their personalities—whether that’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own pack (or clowder 🐾).
“Alex did a wonderful job watching my kittens for the week while I was out of town! I got lots of photos and updates and I had the most relaxing stress free trip knowing they were taken care of!!”
About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Rounded up I have five years of experience caring for dogs of different temperaments, sizes, and breeds making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a high school graduate, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, medications, and potty breaks around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use this time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the dogs needs and abilities. My focus on time management ensures that each pet is always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into their routine. My goal is to provide a calm, nurturing, and healthy environment. I can ensure that pet care will fit seamlessly into my routine, allowing me to meet the needs for every dog I meet! Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them, and monitor them while off leash closely. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, this creates a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, potty breaks, and spending quality time/playing, I strive to create a comfortable environment for each dog I meet. I can ensure they feel valued and cared for, the environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I recently took a break from dog sitting to focus on caring for my baby. Now that things have settled into a routine, I'm excited to start accepting bookings again! I have 6+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“Trish and her family are the best. My dog gets all of the love when she is over and comes home exhausted and has happy dreams. Trish is a great communicator and sends fun pics through the day so my work day is that much better. Moving forward, I will be making arrangements for my dog to stay with Trish and fam when I am out of town so that I can travel assured my pup will have all of the love in my absence.”
“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”
“Dana has an immediately obvious love of dogs. It was our first day care visit and I left with no concerns. Picked up our little Minnie who was happy and groomed up. So excited to have someone like Dana to leave my dog with when needed. Thanks Dana!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Tristin enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my little dachshund while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Throughout the stay, Tristin kept me updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated her like part of her own family. She paid attention to every detail, made sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. When I picked her up, my dog looked happy, relaxed, and honestly seemed like she didn't want to leave! She even spent time looking for Tristin after coming home, which says a lot about the bond they built during her stay. As a pet parent, it's not easy trusting someone else with your furry family member, but Tristin exceeded every expectation. I can honestly say she cared for my dog as well as — and maybe even better than — I do. Her communication, kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and incredibly caring to watch your pet, don't hesitate to book with Tristin. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Tristin, for taking such wonderful care of my little girl! 🐾❤️”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“What a very nice booking! Great experience all the way around. I felt like I've known Eman and Robby for some time after just meeting the both of them. They are extremely nice and very caring sitters for my dog, Sasha. Thank you so much for all the photos and the video to keep in touch through the day. Sasha enjoyed her stay!”
“Sarah is amazing and has an excellent knowledge of animal behavior which makes her especially good with my puppy as she is learning how to be a well behaved dog and these early months are so important for her to learn to be the best dog she can be. I love that Clairee has supervised play with Sarah’s other dogs as socializing is so important. I can’t express enough how happy I am to have found Sarah. It’s like striking gold. My Clairee comes home very happy and content. Sarah sends me updates throughout the day with pictures and notes of how the day is going and I get a report of her elimination and intake. I highly recommend Sarah, she is superb!!”
“Lori was very friendly & had great communication. My pup Jewels had a good time playing with her two sweet dogs & had plenty space for Jewels to play. She sent me photos & videos of her having a good time. Lori was very accommodating to my dog & I would highly recommend! Thanks again Lori for taking good care of my pup. 🙂”
“Natalie is amazing! My dog, Lulu, absolutely adores her and loves going to her house for daycare. I pay close attention to Lulu’s reactions to environments, and she communicates in her own way when she’s comfortable or not. In the past, I had to stop taking Lulu to a specific daycare because she would shake with fear/anxiety at drop-off, whine, and try to drag me back toward the entrance to leave. When I pull up to Natalie’s home at drop-off, Lulu whines to get out of the car and practically drags me to door to get daycare started. She greets Natalie so enthusiastically and with so much excitement. That’s the only review I really need. Lulu visits for daycare twice a week now. I appreciate that Natalie gives me regular updates throughout the daycare stay and includes several pictures. After each daycare visit, Natalie provides a handwritten note summarizing Lulu’s day. Lastly, she’s simply a very warm and nice person. I’m glad we found her!”
“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”
“Carrie is continually amazing! Every time I bring my puppy there I don't have to worry because I know he is in good hands. She is also very understanding & accommodating. Will always bring my Pugsley to her first. ”
“Sierra is great! We had a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. Our boys had a lot of fun with her and I couldn’t believe this but when we came to pick them up she sent them off with little doggy gift bags. So sweet!”
“We had a great experience! Miloš was very well cared for, and we really appreciated the frequent photos throughout the day. It made us feel relaxed and confident that he was in good hands. Highly recommend 🐾✨”
“Claudia went above and beyond to help us out with our young puppy on a busy week when one of us was out of town. She was so flexible with her schedule, coming and caring for our dogs at our home. She even cleaned up our dog run, which was so kind and totally unexpected! This was our second time having Claudia care for our dogs, and we'd look forward to her help again!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and currently have a furry friend of my own. With years of experience, I've become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, whether it's for a quick drop-in or an overnight stay.

When caring for pets in my home or yours, I strictly follow every instruction provided by the pet parent. I understand how crucial it is to stick to routines and adhere to any dietary or health restrictions for your pet’s safety. Having a dog with strict dietary requirements myself, I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone and worry if they will be cared for properly. That’s why I make it my priority to follow all rules and guidelines, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.

About: A passionate caretaker with a lifetime of experience with love and understanding for all pups! Experience with professional caretaking, positive reinforcement dog training, and foster care. I usually do pet sitting around my work schedule and am always ready for dog sitting days 😸 My work started in San Diego and Los Angeles, most recently making the move to Boise where I’ve fallen in love with the area. In my clients home I always make sure I know I everything I need to know about the pup to make them feel as comfortable at safe as possible. New caretakers can be spooky to our pets sometimes and positive, proper introductions are very essential! I make sure to communicate with the owners about the dogs needs and make sure I am aware of any notes or concerns.
About: Being the mother of my own fur-child in the past, I know how much your pets mean to your family. I am willing to help with frequent walks, feeding, play and activities and also vacation pet sitting. I adore all dogs ... breeds, size, age or medical condition doesn't matter. Since I haven't adopted another dog since mine passed over the rainbow bridge last year, I take great joy in taking care of other peoples dogs to fill that space only a puppy can fill. I'll be their "Aunt Holly"! And I promise I will take care of them like they are my own. My day job is done remotely, so I'm able to work from wherever I'm at during the day... even at your home with your pups as my assistants. We will be able to take our breaks outside or go for a walk or even play together. My time is very flexible.
About: We both grew up loving and taking care of our family dogs. When I was in college, I often worked as a dog sitter for neighbors and friends. I was able to build a network who trusted me with their precious pooches. We are still in the process of trying to find a pup of our own but in the meantime, while working from home, we have plenty of time to care for your pet. You can expect lots of snapshots and frequent updates (as often as you’d like) to keep you posted. Whether your furry friend prefers to lounge on the couch or go exploring and running around, we're happy to do what makes them happy! We love hiking, exploring, and discovering the gems in our city! I work from home full time so have the ability and flexibility to be available for your pets needs. Since I am still looking for a dog of my own, it's a great way to love on pups and get my fill of activities with walks or downtime snuggling on the couch. When staying at my home or a client's, I will always follow their guidelines and rules in terms of what is allowed. Mine is a very dog friendly home so they are always welcome on furniture or in the bed as they see fit.

I do my school online so it makes it easy for me to be flexible! I can do walks, play time, cuddles or feeding! I am also willing to work with small puppies or more difficult dogs that need more time. I have two herding breeds so I’m used to the crazy. I also have vet technician experience so I can handle more complicated situations
About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.
About: I am a reliable and dedicated dog sitter with six years of experience. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. I take time to make sure each dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I enjoy being surrounded by dogs and learning new things along the way, I strive to create a positive environment where pets can relax and feel secure as if they were at home. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving a pet with a sitter. That’s why I focus on being dependable, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their dogs are happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Through my years of experience, I have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable working with energetic dogs that require frequent exercise as well as calmer or older dogs that need a slower pace and more patience. My responsibilities have included feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining secure spaces for puppies and seniors, ensuring clean water and bedding, daily walks, monitored playtime, leash training, kennel training, connecting with anxious or aggressive dogs, etc. I have also gained experience understanding dog body language and behavioral cues. This has helped me recognize when a dog may be stressed, excited, tired, or in need of attention. Being attentive to these signals allows me to respond appropriately and provide care that fits each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure and relaxed while in my care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, which is why I prioritize reliability, communication, and respect. I make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their dog is being well cared for. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. Overall, my experience caring for animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, and I strive to provide a safe, attentive, and positive environment where every dog feels comfortable and loved. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule so I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and constant supervision. Throughout the week, I intentionally set aside time for dog care activities such as walks, outdoor breaks, enrichment, and quality interaction. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, so taking dogs on walks or letting them explore safely is something that fits easily into my lifestyle. This allows me to provide pets with both physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition to basic care, I also make time to simply spend quality time with the pets I watch. Whether it’s playing, giving attention, or keeping them company, I believe dogs benefit from having someone present who is patient and engaged with them. I try to make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for during their stay. I am used to maintaining structured care routines, which is important for helping dogs stay relaxed while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure pets always have fresh water, and ensure they get regular bathroom breaks and exercise. Sticking to their normal routine helps dogs feel safe and reduces unnecessary stress. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my main goal is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care preferences. Maintaining a familiar routine helps pets feel safe and reduces stress while their owners are away. In terms of boarding in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where dogs have space to relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, daily walks, and time for exercise and mental stimulation. I also monitor them closely to ensure they are comfortable and adjusting well to the new environment. When house sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s care exactly how they are used to it. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship while also keeping the home clean with respect to the owner’s space. Staying in the pet’s familiar environment often helps them feel more relaxed while their owner is away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they are comfortable and happy. If a dog is more energetic, I make sure they get enough activity. If they are older or more relaxed, I adjust the care to be calm and patient. Communication is very important to me while caring for pets. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and happy. My goal is to give pets reliable and attentive care.

“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Dana was super great with my Pit Brewsky! He made himself right at home! She definitely has the magic touch when it came to trimming his nails; he is VERY sensitive to anyone touching his paws/nails and she was able to work with him successfully! She gave great feedback and advice based on his personality and needs as well. Dana will be our go to sitter from now on!! 🤍”
“Marta was absolutely incredible!! I was nervous to leave my baby puppy since I never had before. But as soon as I met Marta I knew he would be in good hands. Her dog is very well trained and she even helped keep up training while we were gone. He got so much love and stimulation that he was tired for two days after! We can’t wait to use Marta again!”
“Sarah was great for my golden retriever Bodie. She made sure he and the other dogs got out to play before the heat and even provided a little wading pool. And she sent me many pictures while I was gone.”
“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”
“Sandra has been the best dog boarder we’ve had in Fallbrook and we’ve tried several. Our dog was so well taken care of and her property is perfect for our guy to roam around. We will seek out Sandra for all future boarding needs.”
“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“All around amazing!! Communication was quick and he was very accommodating to all my and animal’s needs. Caleb was responsive, accommodating, and just so easy to trust. My pups had a great stay as proved through pictures Caleb shared with me throughout their stay. Drop off and pick up were seemless, and I really appreciate all the communication he provided while caring for my animals throughout my trip!!”
“Brandy was absolutely fantastic in caring for our senior dog. She showed such genuine concern and attentiveness to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Koda was exceptionally well looked after, and we couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone in need of a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“We had a great experience leaving our two dogs this past weekend with Karen and Steve, we felt very comfortable with everything after meeting them. They were especially wonderful with our nervous dog, he seemed to come out of his shell, which takes a lot of patience. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with them again. We also really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our last minute request.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Sierra is amazing, Charlie loves her and her family like his own. He has bad separation anxiety but felt instantly at home over there. I never have to worry about Charlie when I leave him with her. Will always book with Sierra when going on trips. Thank you so much”
“This is our second time booking with Darcey. She truly wants to take the time to understand your dog’s quirks, and was so gentle and patient with ours. I loved getting her photo updates—it was comforting to see our dog so happy in the photos she sent. She was also very professional, always punctual and quick to answer any questions I had. If you need a caring, reliable dog sitter, Darcey is fantastic.”
“David was great with our large and playful doodle. He was very communicative sending lots of updates on how our pup was doing. You can tell that he loves being around dogs and I would recommend him to anyone!”
