“If we can recommend anybody to watch over your pup we recommend Berenisse! We left our fur baby for 3 nights 4 days with Berenisse and during that time, Berenisse was in contact with us, showing us videos and pictures of our pup and keeping us up to date with our puppy’s activities. While on vacation, Berenisse made our trip worry free and gave us that peace of mind that our puppy was in great hands. Berenisse is very knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you Berenisse for everything. We will be coming back for sure 👍🏽”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I feel a very deep and natural connection with them. I have a soft spot for pets who need extra love and patience, including blind dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, understood, and at peace. I also offer gentle Reiki for animals if they need extra calm, balance, or emotional support. Because I work online, I can spend the whole day with your pet—keeping them company, giving them lots of love, and making sure they always feel safe and cared for. I truly love what I do and treat every animal as if they were my own, with kindness, calm energy, and lots of affection. I work online, which allows me to spend the whole day caring for your pet. Your furry friend will have constant companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure their space is comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I supervise pets at all times, provide gentle guidance, and respect their individual needs and personalities. Your furry friend will always feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“Brittany is amazing! She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and needs to watch our pup the night of our wedding. Brittany is a true dog lover with immense compassion and can tell where your dog's comfort zone is, and if/when they're comfortable being eased out of it into something new. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone in a heartbeat--your fur-baby is in excellent hands!”
“Monique is always fantastic! She treats Lucy like part of her family. I get pics throughout the day and can tell that she is well taken care of. She even threw in some training, which is definitely needed. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Sarah and Kyle were amazing during Breaux’s stay. Though Breaux was a little nervous at first, with Kyle and Sarah’s beautiful home and energy, she began to settle in nicely. Swimmingly, to say the least. I received photos of my baby smiling and relaxing having a good time. Then the thoughtful Polaroid at the end wrapped it up with a beautiful bow. Their thoughtfulness will be felt throughout as Breaux has adopted them as a part of her pack. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“I had a last minute change to my Thanksgiving plans to go out of town, and thankfully Ashley was available to host Rowdy. He was a happy pup when I picked him up. I'd book with her again!”
“Shalon was amazing! We have a young, high-energy puppy, and she did an incredible job handling him. She kept us updated with lots of photos of him playing, socializing with other dogs, and clearly having the best time. He came home happy, tired, and even better behaved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. We couldn't recommend Shalon more!”
“Where do I even begin?! First off 5 stars is NOT even enough to say how amazing Krystal was with my Furbaby. Krystal was absolutely lovely and communicated well. I haven’t used Rover in over ten years and I was very nervous about leaving my dog with anyone I didn’t know. I had a short time frame to find someone which also added to my stress and worry. However, once I met Krystal I felt that my dog would be just fine. It was almost like her and Krystal had met before because Krystal and her family made Cleo feel right at home. They were patient, kind, caring, attentive and all around a great family. I would leave my dog with Krystal again any day. She sent pictures and videos daily to ensure I knew how my dog was doing. Definitely recommend her for any pet sitting!”
“Lynn and Marty were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. I had been looking for a while for a good fit for my senior dog and ended up finding them a week before my trip. Lynn offered up a phone call so I could talk about the care and treatment I needed. I was so worried to leave my pup since she’d been having some health issues, but when it was time to drop her off, Lynn and Marty and their senior fur baby dog had the best vibes and wanted to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I could tell my pup felt right at home and loved exploring their nice yard. I got regular photos and updates on how she was doing and whether she’d eaten. When I picked her up, Lynn and Marty said they’d miss her and she looked relaxed and happy. I would definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend this gem of a place for pet care 🐾 💕”
“Danielle was awesome...she accepted the booking with little notice, and took such great care of Skye. He had playtime in the yard & walks....he was a very happy boy. Danielle kept me updated with photos....would definitely recommend!”
About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.
“I used Laurie’s dog sitting services in her home for 2 days/nights recently and I was very very pleased. Not only was she updating me throughout my trip with updates/photos of my baby Eden, she also took her to the dog park along with her sweet girl Reese. I would definitely recommend her. She is an animal lover and that shows. So it helped with any uneasiness I felt leaving my dog with her. She took excellent care of Eden and would use her services again!”

I’m highly experienced in reading animal behavior, maintaining clean and secure environments, administering medications if needed, and keeping a watchful eye to ensure your pet is happy and relaxed.
“Amber was wonderful and attentive. She runs a tight ship with dogs of all sizes, and knows what she can handle. We had a great meet n greet at the local park so she could become acquainted with our doggo. We were fully confident of his care. This is her business. She takes their well-being seriously and the dogs always have an eye on them. Plenty of exercise and excursions around the neighborhood are incorporated daily. We would love to have our doggo vacation with Amber again.”

“Stephanie did a great job with my dog Brando! She sent pictures and updates through out the day and he came home a very happy puppy! She was also very easy to communicate with and took him in same day when I was really in a pinch. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting she took very good care of my fur baby”
“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”

“We have two cats that require drop-in visits and Ashley was super responsive and flexible. We really appreciated her prompt replies and being able to book last minute. She shared photos and made sure they had enough food and water while we were away. Would definitely recommend Ashley.”
About: Growing up, I always loved on my neighbors’ cats. My dad and sister were allergic, so we couldn’t have any in the house. I would sit on the driveway for hours playing with the neighborhood kitties. Now I have a cat of my own and she is 4 years old. I adopted her when she was very sick, from a friend who did not have the time to nurse her back to health. She was on 6 different medications and had to be syringe-fed and given subcutaneous fluids! She recovered after a few months of close care, and is now healthy, happy, and playful, and my whole world. I often cat-sit for one of my best friends who has 4 cats of all different ages, and have given her senior cats medication when needed.
About: I grew up on a farm in South Africa with both my parents as practicing veterinarians, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have ample experience caring for dogs and cats—from feeding, walking, and playtime to giving extra love and attention. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family regularly, and I treat every furry friend as part of my own family. I’m outdoorsy and love spending time walking and playing with pets. I’m also comfortable with puppies, BIG dogs, senior dogs, and animals with special needs, and I prioritize making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can easily work around morning and early afternoon playtime, walks, and feedings. The evenings are more challenging as I have feed, play and bath time with kids of my own 😊 . Please reach out as I could always try and coordinate so your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I treat every pet as part of my family, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets have a safe, fenced yard to play in and plenty of space to explore. I supervise all playtime and walks to ensure safety and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely, making sure pets feel secure, happy, and loved.

About: **MEET + GREET PRIOR REQUIRED** I have grown up with pets of all sizes and temperaments my entire life and since we brought home our first cats when I was in third grade, I was hooked. From cats to wild creatures needed help to dogs to horses to livestock, I am very calm around new animals, even if they may be a bit anxious with new people, pets, and places. I do have my own rescue pup, Río, who loves to get outside for adventures, loves other animals, and loves to be by my side whenever possible. Whether you are in need of pet sitting, exercising, a dog daycation, and/or housesitting with your beloved pet(s), my first choice is always to have Río come along so long as that is something with which you and your pet(s) will be comfortable and enjoy. I grew up on the Central Coast and love to be outdoors and adventuring whether through hikes, long walks, eating out on pet dates at the amazing restaurants nearby, trips to the off leash beaches, or more. If that’s not your pet(s)’ speed and/or favorite things, I am also very into cozying up with them on the sofa or whatever activities may be their favorites as well. If you are in need of care for your horses or livestock, whether while looking for a house sitter or other times, I have a lifetime of experience with horses and am very able to feed, muck, hotwalk, etc. while house sitting or on a drop-in basis. I have not been riding much since returning back to the Central Coast from SF but pending the temperament and experience level necessary, after learning to ride horses much around the same time I was learning to walk, I am always open for an easy ride if needed for your horse(s) as well. Just message me and we can discuss further!
About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Berenisse and I’m a Certified Basic Obedience Dog Trainer based in Buellton, CA. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and what started as a hobby has grown into my true passion. I bring a well-rounded background to pet care and training. I’ve worked as a vet tech and as a dog trainer’s assistant, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have some experience in dog agility training, which I love incorporating for fun and exercise when appropriate. My approach to training and care is rooted in positive reinforcement—building trust, respect, and clear communication with every dog. I believe all dogs deserve patience, love, and encouragement, and I enjoy tailoring my care to meet each pup’s unique needs. I’m also very active, so whether your dog needs structured training, a playful walk, or an energetic workout buddy, I’m happy to be there for them. More than anything, I truly understand how much dogs enrich our lives—and I treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐾 Loving care, respectful training, and lots of tail wags guaranteed! Most of the time I work from home, I do drive around some days and when I am caring for dogs I try to incorporate car rides, physical and mental activity to keep them happy, healthy and to provide a positive experience. They get constant walks, the dog park is a couple blocks away from my house and I do take advantage of that to make sure they get their daily physical and mental estimulation.
About: I have grown up with large dogs since I was a young child. My own dog is a large rescue and he was completely untrained and afraid.

He knows multiple commands and gets along with dogs of all sizes. He is one of the most important things in my life so I completely understand the love and care pet owners have when it comes to choosing care for their animals!

About: I've been around a variety of cats since a young age. Shy or timid cats tend to have an easier time with me than others since I have a very calm and gentle demeaner. My own cat was shy and she became the most loving cat I've ever known. I spent hours in quiet and patience to earn her trust and gave her a loving full life. After that, I took up training cats for fun!

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my family ever since second grade when I presented a book of poems titled "I Love Dogs" to my parents begging them for a furry friend. I then started dog-walking and pet-sitting as soon as neighbors and family friends would have me. All these years later, getting to know dogs of all shapes and temperaments brings me as much joy as ever. I'm currently working a flexible schedule and am available to fit pet-care in most days. We can work together on a routine that works for both of us. I have a lot of experience dog and cat-sitting for pets of all different breeds and personalities. I am comfortable accommodating different homes and pets according to my client's particular needs.
“Meighan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Meepers. Meighan was careful to check on her and send me photos. She even confirmed I came back. I'd definitely book Meighan for my sitter needs in the future. I recommend her to others as well.”

“Ashley was great with our Calvin! She offered to pick him up each night and drop him off and he got to play with her fur babies on their nice property. She was very easy to communicate with and answered quickly. He definitely enjoyed his time there.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Winnie while I attended a wedding! She clearly enjoyed her time with you and your son. I love that you prioritized her comfort on a very hot day, let her hang out on your bed, and accepted my absurd amount of dog supplies that I handed you at drop-off. I appreciate that after it became clear your dog was a bit much for her (un-neutered and a little too boy-ish), you kept them separate. Would re-book if I came back to the area and needed help in the future!”
“Brittany is an outstanding dig sitter for anyone. Along with being very responsible and professional, she has a great personality and is considerate of the needs of pet owners. Her dog Rio got along very well with my dog Kenzo and kept him entertained all day. 5 stars for sure; I hope to be rebooking with Brittany soon!”

“All went smooth. David, and his young kids, were very nice to my dogs. It was sweet to see the kids engaging so calmly with my small terriers. I got the dogs back tired and thirsty (they went for a good walk before pick up). I would have David (and his family) watch my dogs again.”

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.
About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.
About: Hello Families! I love all animals and ready to help care for yours while you're away! I grew up on a farm with my parents, and ever since I can remember, we've always had animals around. They ran a non-profit animal rescue for many years, and this taught me much about the responsibilities of caring for an animal. I was also able to learn about different breeds and their temperaments. Although they are nice to play with, we were also taught that with the pleasurable part, also comes the dirty work. I've cleaned much animal poop in my life! My sister and I have ridden horses since we were young, we've volunteered at different animal shelters, and we have brought injured animals into our home to take care of them. I recently graduated and received my Bachelor's degree. I'm continuing my education, which makes me available to go to your home during weekday evenings or weekends (all day). I also offer boarding at my home (24/7), which is safe and secure. I have several yards for your pet(s) to play and exercise. I can feed, administer medication if needed, exercise, clean litter-boxes, and give your pet(s) the love and attention they deserve! I understand your pet(s) have become part of your family, and I will take care of them as if they were my own! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you, Mia
“Monique was awesome, super nice home in gated community, next to a park, constant communication, with pics sent. Highly recommend and would definitely take my Ben to her again! Thank you Monique :-)”
“Robert is reliable, caring and will be there for your pup to help take care of them when you schedule with him. Working two jobs right now and grateful I found him to help with all the juggling. Definitely recommend 👍🏽 👍🏽”
“This was our second day, and I was so happy to see how comfortable my dog became. She has separation anxiety, but today she wagged her tail and walked in calmly, which felt like a huge step forward. I really appreciate the patient, reassuring environment—it made a big difference for her sense of safety. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of genuine experience with dogs at every stage of life. I raised my two dogs from puppyhood all the way through their senior years, which means I’m comfortable with the energy and needs of young pups as well as the patience and extra care that older dogs require. I also grew up with a dog and have always shared a natural bond with animals. On top of that, I have experience fostering dogs from a shelter, so I know how to help pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. This isn’t just a side gig for me, caring for animals is something I’ve always done and truly love. As a college student working part time, my schedule is flexible enough to give your pet the time and attention they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, meaning your furry friend won’t just be an afterthought between a packed schedule. I have plenty of availability throughout the day to ensure your pet is getting regular walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be well looked after and never left alone for long stretches! I have a fully fenced yard, so your pet has plenty of safe space to run around and explore! I’m happy to adapt to whatever routine and environment your pet is most comfortable with, whether that’s roaming freely around the home, spending time in a crate, or a mix of both. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority, so just let me know what works best for them and I’ll make sure to keep things consistent with what they’re used to at home!
“Amber’s dog care was wonderful peace of mind while we were in town for family events. Great communication before and during Brownie’s visit. Highly recommend her experience with pet care!”
“We have fairly high need dogs and Kyle and Sara were able to meet those needs and more. The dogs had a great time with them. We received picture and text updates while they were there, which I really appreciated. I was a little nervous to leave the dogs with others, but Kyle and Sara allowed the dogs to come over for a visit before we left them. They really eased my anxiety and I will be very comfortable leaving them for longer in the future. Thank you!”

About: Since a very young age (about 5+), I have been taking care of a myriad of animals and learned animal body language from them. It was incredible and I learned a lot of valuable skills from them. After that, I took up teaching myself how to train dogs (plus puppies and cats) with positive training methods. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding to see how they engage, come together with themselves, and gaining a more fulfilling life. And now I am offering pet sitting! I have a lot of time and availability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. *Note: Puppies must have had all 3 of their puppy shots in order for me to accept. I work from home so my schedule is very free and available from short to long stays. Perfect for people who love to travel or need consistent daily routines for their pets. I care for my client's home with respect and great care. I like to keep things clean and feeling good for everyone. The pets I will be a good friend to, treating them with kindness, play time, exercise if needed, and being consistent with their desired routine.
About: I have grown up with pets of all sizes and temperaments my entire life. From dogs to horses to livestock, I am very calm around new animals, even if they may be a bit anxious with new people, pets, and places. I do have my own rescue pup, Río, who loves to get outside for adventures, loves other animals, and loves to be by my side whenever possible. Whether you are in need of pet sitting, exercising, a dog daycation, and/or housesitting with your beloved pet(s), my first choice is always to have Río come along so long as that is something with which you and your pet(s) will be comfortable and enjoy. I grew up on the Central Coast and love to be outdoors and adventuring whether through hikes, long walks, eating out on pet dates at the amazing restaurants nearby, trips to the off leash beaches, or more. If that’s not your pet(s)’ speed and/or favorite things, I am also very into cozying up with them on the sofa or whatever activities may be their favorites as well. If you are in need of care for your horses or livestock, whether while looking for a house sitter or other times, I have a lifetime of experience with horses and am very able to feed, muck, hotwalk, etc. while house sitting or on a drop-in basis. I have not been riding much since returning back to the Central Coast from SF but pending the temperament and experience level necessary, after learning to ride horses much around the same time I was learning to walk, I am always open for an easy ride if needed for your horse(s) as well. Just message me and we can discuss further! Please note, if you foresee last-minute requests for daycare, check-ins, and/or dog walking being necessary in the future, please reach out to schedule a formal meet and greet anytime in advance so we may know that the pups are a good match prior to any late bookings becoming necessary. For my safety and the safety of my dogs and yours, I will not accept last-minute check-ins or dog walking requests without this meet and greet completed. Río and I always make sure to take time to get outside to exercise, take potty breaks on grass, and explore daily with an hour-2.5+ hours hike in the mornings and an hour long walk/run after work. Río and I are ideally a package deal so any dog(s), cat(s), and/or whatever pet(s) you are in need of caring for and giving some love to, please advise if they are dog-friendly and enjoy a workout but also love a good lounge throughout the day. For potty breaks and a bit of engagement during the work day, I have a privately fenced yard to pop outside for some sunshine and ball play any time throughout the day and night.
About: I have grown up with large dogs since I was a young child. My own dog is a large rescue and he was completely untrained and afraid. I am proud to say that he and I both put in so much work into his training. I housebroke, leash-trained, and recall trained him on my own. He knows multiple commands and gets along with dogs of all sizes. He is one of the most important things in my life so I completely understand the love and care pet owners have when it comes to choosing care for their animals! I’m a current nursing student with flexibility in my schedule so I can do my best to find times to accommodate your needs and mine! I prioritize safety for all pets in my care. I am extremely cautious and reliable. I will always do my best to make sure your pet is safe and loved!
“Ashley came through on a last minutes reservation for me. They were able to take raider for a long walk for me and were a very nice couple. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from raising animals for FFA to training my own dogs and working at an animal shelter. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I treat every pet like family! I work Monday - Friday 7:30am to 4:30 pm I have an hour lunch and would love to take days off to help care for your furry baby’s. I plan to get more availability for the future.

With years of hands-on experience—from shelter work to farm life—I know how to handle pets gently, responsibly, and with lots of love.
About: Animals are my Spirit Animals. I like animals more than most people. If a dog doesn't like you, I'm not sure I can like you. Most cats like me. All kidding aside, I am thoughtful, caring and connected to animals. I have had dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, fish, turtles, tortoises, chickens, ducks and frogs in my past. I currently have an 11 year old beagle that is my wingman. I have helped with senior dogs and cats. I have basic puppy training skills. And I have been a pet "first responder" to bobcat attacks in our area. I know the best places to walk dogs, the best ways to keep foul safe and the way to most animals heart. I look forward to helping you and your favorite pet enjoy vacations or a day away from your home. I am a yoga instructor and I have a cold pressed juice business I teach a couple of classes a day giving me plenty of time to spend time with your animals! I believe we can work together to create a safe, fun and loving environment for your pets whether I stay at your place with them or they need to come to my place we will work together to create the best situation possible for your furry, feathery, scaly or hairy family member while you are away.
About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my family ever since second grade when I presented a book of poems titled "I Love Dogs" to my parents begging them for a furry friend. I then started dog-walking and pet-sitting as soon as neighbors and family friends would have me. All these years later, getting to know dogs of all shapes and temperaments brings me as much joy as ever. I'm currently working a flexible schedule and am available to fit pet-care in most days. We can work together on a routine that works for both of us. I have a lot of experience dog and cat-sitting for pets of all different breeds and personalities. I am comfortable accommodating different homes and pets according to my client's particular needs.

About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.

Experience with both small and large breeds, including high-energy or working dogs. I currently work part-time with the City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Department, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets.

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!).

I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption.

“If we can recommend anybody to watch over your pup we recommend Berenisse! We left our fur baby for 3 nights 4 days with Berenisse and during that time, Berenisse was in contact with us, showing us videos and pictures of our pup and keeping us up to date with our puppy’s activities. While on vacation, Berenisse made our trip worry free and gave us that peace of mind that our puppy was in great hands. Berenisse is very knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you Berenisse for everything. We will be coming back for sure 👍🏽”
“Sarah and Kyle were amazing during Breaux’s stay. Though Breaux was a little nervous at first, with Kyle and Sarah’s beautiful home and energy, she began to settle in nicely. Swimmingly, to say the least. I received photos of my baby smiling and relaxing having a good time. Then the thoughtful Polaroid at the end wrapped it up with a beautiful bow. Their thoughtfulness will be felt throughout as Breaux has adopted them as a part of her pack. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“I had a last minute change to my Thanksgiving plans to go out of town, and thankfully Ashley was available to host Rowdy. He was a happy pup when I picked him up. I'd book with her again!”
“Shalon was amazing! We have a young, high-energy puppy, and she did an incredible job handling him. She kept us updated with lots of photos of him playing, socializing with other dogs, and clearly having the best time. He came home happy, tired, and even better behaved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. We couldn't recommend Shalon more!”
“Lynn and Marty were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. I had been looking for a while for a good fit for my senior dog and ended up finding them a week before my trip. Lynn offered up a phone call so I could talk about the care and treatment I needed. I was so worried to leave my pup since she’d been having some health issues, but when it was time to drop her off, Lynn and Marty and their senior fur baby dog had the best vibes and wanted to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I could tell my pup felt right at home and loved exploring their nice yard. I got regular photos and updates on how she was doing and whether she’d eaten. When I picked her up, Lynn and Marty said they’d miss her and she looked relaxed and happy. I would definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend this gem of a place for pet care 🐾 💕”
“Danielle was awesome...she accepted the booking with little notice, and took such great care of Skye. He had playtime in the yard & walks....he was a very happy boy. Danielle kept me updated with photos....would definitely recommend!”

“Amber was wonderful and attentive. She runs a tight ship with dogs of all sizes, and knows what she can handle. We had a great meet n greet at the local park so she could become acquainted with our doggo. We were fully confident of his care. This is her business. She takes their well-being seriously and the dogs always have an eye on them. Plenty of exercise and excursions around the neighborhood are incorporated daily. We would love to have our doggo vacation with Amber again.”
“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”
“We have used Marin twice and it was such a dreamy experience! I love that my dog gets to be with her family and the sweet children . Marin is super accommodating and communicative . I got pics of my sweet babes with updates, which really helped me to not worry about them while I was gone . Marin and her family really are so great ! I just can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found them to take care of my favorite beings .”

“I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for the next day, I found Robert’s sitter and I message him right away.. He was able to take care of my dog. And of course my dog loves the company. They are really good in updates and communicating all the time. I really recommend him to watch your pets.”

“Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.”
“Wendy is incredible! I can’t imagine a more wonderful person to care for our pup. Bucky is a big, energetic dog and she was so thoughtful, caring, and a great leader for him. Gave wonderful pupdates and really put my mind at ease for the whole weekend that we were at our family event. We are forever grateful.”
“My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.”
