“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”
“Our shy dog, Chance, had a wonderful stay with Kimmie and her dogs! She was patient and loving with him. He enjoyed the time with her dogs, too! It was fun and reassuring to receive information and pics of him throughout his stay. Next time I need to leave him, I’ll definitely choose Kimmie again!”
“I’m so thankful for Kelly! She took great care of my hyper but sweet girl. She sent lots of pictures and videos and reassured me that my girl was doing well. We will definitely ask for her assistance again”
“It was so nice knowing my pups were in good hands with Davisha. She sent so many videos and photos throughout their stay. They came home worn out and happy from getting to play with other pups all week!”
“I'm thrilled to leave a glowing 5-star review for Mel! Their care and attention towards my anxious dog P.J. were beyond exceptional. Not only did Mel provide top-notch pet sitting, but they also worked wonders by successfully grooming P.J., something we've struggled with for years. Their patience, expertise, and dedication truly set them apart. I'm immensely grateful for their services and highly recommend Mel to anyone in need of a pet sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Say third times the charm. Used a couple of sitters since I’ve been here. Won’t speak much on those experiences but Yetta was by far the most comfortable safest experience I’ve received. She will be my permanent sitter while I’m here so she comes highly recommended. Good size yard. Went out of her way to get my boy his extra food even though I deemed it unnecessary. Your pup will be in great hands here.”
“Booked with Veronica a few times for Topher's boarding. She's always been great and communicative. I know Topher can be a handful sometimes being a senior pup, but I'm thankful that she takes good care of him while we're apart!”
“I felt at ease with Manuel because he provided pictures of my dogs when they were eating during the time I specified to be given their meal. He did follow intructions and that is something I look into when booking a pet sitter.”
“Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra”
“It was our first time using a dog sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous about finding the right person. From our very first message and setting up the meet-and-greet through to picking up our dog, Jade, Elyssa was friendly, kind, and quick to respond. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving Jade in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We really appreciated the communication and updates, and Jade came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Elyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Kathy and her daughter were wonderful! My dog was very happy when I picked her up so I know she was well cared for while I was away. I will definitely rebook with Kathy m. the next time I am in the area. Thank you for taking such good care of my dog. 😊”
“Booked Alex when we were in a bind for a sitter last minute. She was great and took amazing care of our senior pup, Topher. The updates and pictures throughout the stay helped keep our minds at ease (Topher can be a handful sometimes). Would definitely book again and recommend her for your pet's boarding needs! :)”
“Brittany is so awesome! This was our 3rd time using her and she is always amazing and flexible. Thank you so much! I can tell Millie gets all the love and attention when she is with Brittany. ❤️”
“Diana was wonderful with my dog, Blue! She took him in on a short notice and gave him so much love and attention. I could tell he felt right at home. She kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Tania was amazing! She responded so quickly to my last-minute road trip shenanigans, and D.O.G. had the best time. The photos she captured were so cute! I’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time I’m in the Tulare area.”
“Laurel cared for our two dogs, and everything went great. She's very good at sending pictures and videos, so you know your babies are well cared for. Her house and yard feel very secure, as far as dogs getting out of the yard. I highly recommend Laurel and will hopefully use her again.”
“Wonderful! She took great care of my 3 cats and sent pictures showing how they were doing throughout the day. The cats were so relaxed and enjoyed their stay. I will definitely book with them again”
“Truly great dog sitter for our three doggies! He was able to work with us with a last minute change and was very helpful and kind in taking care of our doggies!! Can’t wait to drop them off again!”
“Guadalupe is great! She and her sister took good care of my dog while he was there. Guadalupe kept me updated, took him for long walks to the park , played with him, and sent amazing picture updates :) I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals growing up, having both dogs and cats. I currently own two of my own cats who have completely different personalities and differ in age.

Safety and wellbeing is my priority so you can be confident in your pets care while you’re away!

“Cami was super sweet and willing to work with my schedule for a meet and greet. It was a last minute booking and she was extremely kind and professional with every interaction. Would highly recommend for dog or cat boarding with her!”
About: I’ve taken care of many cats ever since I was an elementary school! I’ve grew up with four cats and always took care of the cats around my neighborhood! I do a lot of feeding, playing and cleaning when caring for these pets!
“This dynamic duo were nothing short of SPECTACULAR! My boys were well cared for, received attention and play time and they even cleaned up their “mess” which I didn’t expect! My goal will be to request them again and again during work travel. Thank you both for the care and detail you have given!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat and keeping me informed during her stay. Based on the photos she sent, my kitty had a great time and was well taken care of. Would definitely use again.”
About: I am a graduate student with lots of love for animals and time on my hands! My classes are online so I can be with your pet and give them my full attention for an extended period of time. I have been working with Rover pets since the summer of 2021 and have had amazing experiences with all different breeds of dogs and cats. I would love to shower your pet in the love and attention they deserve! I am very flexible with weekday availability and availability on most weekends. Feel free to consult my calendar for my schedule, or reach out to me directly to ask about same-day services or to schedule in advance! I have a large fenced-in yard with grass to play in and a shaded porch for rest. In my area there is also access to many shaded paths for walking.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. I've had a great love of pets since I was little and have been around them my whole life. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can watch your fur babies almost any day of the week with notice. I am available to come to your home to care for your pets and spend time with them and make sure they are cared for.
About: I understand that your fur babies are your family and can’t wait to meet them. With 32 years of general pet care and ownership experience (and counting), I look forward to loving and caring for your furry family members. I’m a stay at home Mom to a few fur babies and my daughter. My schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted fairly easily with communication. I’m happy to adopt any schedule or routines requested for yours and your pet’s happiness. I’m flexible and can care for your fur babies at any location required. I look forward to welcoming you and your pets into our little family.

About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.
About: I am an animal lover all my life, I want to help furbabys parents have the peace of mind knowing when they leave for a getaway that their furbaby will be very well cared for and loved. I am home all day, so your furbaby will not be left alone. I have a doggy door so they can come and go as they please into my backyard My yard is secure with gates closing off our entire yard. I have a lil furbaby of my own her name is “Mimosa” and she is absolutely the sweetest she loves everything, everyone and loves to play she would be so happy having a playmate!!!
“Peggy had a great day! She was well cared for. I appreciated the pictures, videos, and texts throughout the day. My favorite is the video showing Peggy and their dog running together in their large backyard. Wonderful place for your dog to stay for the day.”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate and attentive pet caregiver with 5+ years of personal experience and 1 year of professional dog-sitting under my belt. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from high-energy pups who love a good run, to mellow seniors who just want a snuggle buddy. One of my own dogs experiences focal seizures, so I’m very familiar with providing calm, capable care in medical situations. I’m also experienced with administering medications (pills, drops, etc.) and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable during the process. My dog Mr. Peanutbutter has had bad experiences with larger dogs so I understand pups who need a little extra care with anxiety. I’ve worked with a variety of animals, including ducks, and I’d be happy to check in on other pets (like cats, birds, or small animals) or care for your plants while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, an energetic walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, responsibility, and plenty of love to every visit. I treat every animal like they’re my own—and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is my passion and my full time focus while saving up for higher education. Pet care is what I'm focused on when not studying. I only have late night class for 2 hours 1 night a week and at home studying so I have much time to focus on specific needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to Davisha & Donald’s care, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Davisha & Donald took great care of my dog, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. My dog had a blast during their stay, and I could tell that they truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Davisha was also very communicative throughout the process, sending me updates and photos to keep me informed and reassured. I highly recommend Davisha & Donald to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!”
About: Just a girl from California! I grew up with dogs & cats my whole life. From pets to farm animals. I have great experience :) I have a Belgian Malinois of my own. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own! I am currently free and can work around my schedule :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I live in a home with a fenced yard! I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby company. I can crate if needed!
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and began actively helping care for cats and dogs at age 6. I’ve cared for pregnant stray cats and fostered their newborn kittens to young adulthood and beyond. I’ve both raised and helped train dogs from birth as well as caring for elderly pups. I’ve seen animals at all stages of life and cared for them at all stages of life, both cat and dog. I am active and love to walk so if that’s your dog we’ll get along great! I also love relaxing while drinking tea, reading, or gardening, so if your fur baby is a bit on the calmer side or elderly they’ll get plenty of rest, cuddles, and love. I work part-time but I walk/bike daily and have the majority of my days free to walk, play, and love on sweet fur baby’s. I miss having animals in my home and would love to help you with yours! I have a good size fenced-in backyard and am not too worried about little (or big) paws on my furniture. There's room to play either inside or out, a quiet neighborhood to walk in, and a park a few minutes away. If your companion is crate trained I do have my own crates if that is something you need/are interested in. I have had to care for sick as well as elderly babies, both dogs, and cats, so if your pet needs certain accommodations or extra attention I have some experience in working with those that need a little extra help.

“An amazing family with the needs of you & your pet at top priority. Overall took amazing care of my girl. Sent updates and pictures without being asked or haggled to. That was a huge plus in my book. Very professional and the love of our furry friends is well shown here. I was very impressed and was able to enjoy my day out with my daughter without worry or fear. If Mrs. Rachel was on the clock I’d demand a raise for her.”
About: I grew up with dogs- Huskies and German Shepard. Also grew up with cats- mostly Siamese. I’m very active and love running and long walks if you’re pup is for it! I have an eager almost six year old son who loves to help out and is very gentle with pets. I’m a teacher, so I’m available weekends, all the long holiday breaks, and all summer. I can do during the work week as well, but am gone 7.5 hours! My son is wanting a dog and I’m looking for any excuse to get outdoors and moving as much as possible, so I figured dog walking and sitting would be perfect for our little family. We have some big goals for our little family as well and would love the opportunity to earn your business and help us accomplish those :) We don’t discriminate against cats and would love to watch them as well. I live in a pet friendly community and can sit in my all hardwood floor three bedroom townhome that has a dog park on site. During the school year, I am gone for 7.5 hours during the day, so please keep that in mind if you need boarding on weekdays when school is in session :) A few musta for doggies in our home- they must be house trained, they must be okay home alone for the workday (unless during a holiday week or summer), in which case they must be okay independently for up to 5 hours. Dogs cannot be temperamental or whine/bark when left alone out of respect for neighbors and their own well being :)
About: I have been a pet owner and lover for almost my whole entire life! I am here to help you with your fur babies and to treat and take care of them as if they were my own family members❤️😊 I am currently a stay at home mom of 3 so I am available day and night, weekdays and weekends as well. Taking off on a trip? Don’t worry I got you! Needing a sitter for a few hour’s ? I’ll be home! Your pet’s well-being means the world to me. In your home or mine, I provide a warm, loving space where they feel safe and cherished. With two dogs and four cats of my own, I know the joy and comfort pets bring. I treat every animal like family.. listening to their needs, honoring their routines, and giving them the gentle care they deserve while you’re away.
About: I've taken care several different types of animals throughout my life. I've lived on a farm and was responsible for all the animals on the farm. I am a teacher so I am off by 3:30 and have weekends off. I also have all major holidays off. I am willing to travel! I have a fenced yard. I also have one dog and one cat of my own. They are use to other animals. I also have crates if needed.
About: For the past two decades or more (circa 2001) I have cared for dogs as far north as Alaska as far south as Brazil as far east as France and as far west as Santa Cruz California Responsibility of pets is something often I enjoy greatly. Hardly a day goes by where I am not up early feeding walking and cleaning up after either my own or someone else’s fur babies. My basic service on Rover includes two feedings per day, two potty breaks (if necessary), one medium range walk (~30mins) depending on weather and one photo update (optional). If you need more services, please state outright so we can adjust the rates accordingly. I focus on sitting at owners’ homes and I’m very respectful and tidy when it comes to property upkeep. Hope we can meet up soon for an arrangement.
About: I taking care of dog since I was 13 and I’m a very respectful and honest person and I love dogs I have a dog very friendly I am open to anything I am home all time I go on walks all time very I like go on dogs walks and fresh air I have a fenced area. I also have a dog that is very friendly. He doesn’t mind company. I also have a kennel other than that the dogs can I have a small back porch
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so dogs are a walk in the park! My experience with dogs is primarily with working breeds. I’ve always done my own grooming, and currently am mom to a rambunctious Belgian Malinois! I work for an after school program that is currently out for the summer, so I have plenty of time for helping during the day! I have rather small fenced yard, but am very familiar with the local dog park, where I take my dog friendly Malinois, Mace, daily. If in my home, your furry family member should preferably be crate trained, but I am open to conversation!
About: (Provided details for breeds of pets I cannot watch at the bottom) (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Dog breeds I cannot watch in my home are pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, chow chows, and wolf hybrids. This is just part of the navy’s housing policies. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.
“BJ took great care of my dog, Stocky. She seemed to handle dogs so well. And she was willing to keep him longer than promised pick-up time when we were delayed due to the traffic. I'll definitely have her as a sitter when we travel the area again. Thanks!”
About: Pet Care Experience Hi! I’m Guadalupe. Most people call me Lupe or Lu 😊. Thanks for stopping by! What sets me apart is that I intentionally take on only a small number of pets at a time. I keep my pet count small to ensure every pet receives my full attention and a calm, stress-free stay. My Care Style (What Your Pet Can Expect) I’ve always been an animal lover and enjoy staying active with pets. I provide multiple daily walks, playtime, and quiet companionship so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows for plenty of one-on-one time and occasional last-minute requests. I’m a great fit for: • Dogs who prefer a calm, low-stress environment • Senior dogs • Shy or anxious pets • Cat-friendly dogs preferred but not required. About My Home I live in a house with a small, enclosed yard, perfect for safe potty breaks and fresh air. Pets are welcome to relax and lounge throughout my home. I have one resident cat, a lazy, easygoing guy, and I’m happy to manage space or keep pets separated as needed so everyone feels comfortable. There are no children in the home, which helps keep the environment calm and predictable. Walks & Outdoor Time In addition to yard time, I live near parks and walking trails, so your dog will enjoy regular walks, enrichment, and plenty of sniff time. Ideal Fit I’m a great match for pet parents who value quality over quantity and want their pet to receive attentive, personalized care in a peaceful home setting. Important Notes • Please bring your pet’s food, bowls, leash, collar or harness, medications, and any comfort items needed for their stay. • For safety reasons, I’m unable to accommodate overly aggressive dogs. Your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, just like family 🤍🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible as a work-from-home. I occasionally have to go into the office but I will let you know in advance. My husband is also available in case we need to make any accommodations to our schedule. I provide a calm, attentive environment and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for so each pet receives close supervision and individualized care. In my home, pets are monitored throughout the day and cared for according to your instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I live in a house with a small, enclosed yard for safe potty breaks and also provide regular walks. I have one calm resident cat and can manage space or keep pets separated as needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routines carefully. I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, including bully breeds and active, working breeds, and would love the opportunity to help take care of your furry loved ones :) It’s ruff having your owners away! I’ll go wherever your pet is most comfortable and follow whatever instructions left to help your pet stick to his or her usual routine to reduce anxiety and tension.
“Maddison was flexible with time and worked around my schedule. The dogs gravitated towards her right away and looked so happy in the pictures I was sent. We went home and they slept the whole night. It was a very good walk.”
About: We are a couple that both grew up in a home full of animals from small dogs all the way to large dogs, cats, and even sheep.

We have availability through the week and weekends and our schedules are flexible. Hayden is in summer training for football and has afternoons available and Lauryn has days off from work through the week.

“Kind, communicative, & excellent with my chaotic boy. I'm a firm believer that you can usually tell if someone is not a great person by how dogs respond to them. My dog IMMEDIATELY went up to her and was SOOO excited for her attention! She also got a solid walk in during the time frame! Definitely recommend.”

About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.
“Keryn has been walking my puppy, Sadie, daily and for special events, for about 1.5 months. She's a fantastic walker -- reliable, communicative, and loving with my "shy to new people" doggy. I highly recommend Keryn.”
“Alli is reliable, kind, and knows her dog breeds. I have a high energy/ quirky Aussie and he took to Alli immediately! She has such a calming energ and clearly is very comfortable with animals. Even better, she’s great at communicating and sending updates. Highly recommend Alli”

I ensure that all the pets that I have taken care of have the proper food and water they need, as well as get a source of exercise whether it’s a walk or play time, and that they also get lots of cuddles.
“Zoie was wonderful! She was prompt, friendly, and very attentive to my dogs. I booked a 30-minute walk, but she noticed that my senior dogs were already tired after about 15 minutes due to the heat. She reached out right away to check in and thoughtfully recommended taking them home rather than pushing them past their comfort level. I really appreciated her communication and genuine care for my dogs’ well-being. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”

“It was so nice knowing my pups were in good hands with Davisha. She sent so many videos and photos throughout their stay. They came home worn out and happy from getting to play with other pups all week!”
“I'm thrilled to leave a glowing 5-star review for Mel! Their care and attention towards my anxious dog P.J. were beyond exceptional. Not only did Mel provide top-notch pet sitting, but they also worked wonders by successfully grooming P.J., something we've struggled with for years. Their patience, expertise, and dedication truly set them apart. I'm immensely grateful for their services and highly recommend Mel to anyone in need of a pet sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Say third times the charm. Used a couple of sitters since I’ve been here. Won’t speak much on those experiences but Yetta was by far the most comfortable safest experience I’ve received. She will be my permanent sitter while I’m here so she comes highly recommended. Good size yard. Went out of her way to get my boy his extra food even though I deemed it unnecessary. Your pup will be in great hands here.”
“Booked with Veronica a few times for Topher's boarding. She's always been great and communicative. I know Topher can be a handful sometimes being a senior pup, but I'm thankful that she takes good care of him while we're apart!”
“I felt at ease with Manuel because he provided pictures of my dogs when they were eating during the time I specified to be given their meal. He did follow intructions and that is something I look into when booking a pet sitter.”
“Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra”
“Kathy and her daughter were wonderful! My dog was very happy when I picked her up so I know she was well cared for while I was away. I will definitely rebook with Kathy m. the next time I am in the area. Thank you for taking such good care of my dog. 😊”

“Diana was wonderful with my dog, Blue! She took him in on a short notice and gave him so much love and attention. I could tell he felt right at home. She kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Tania was amazing! She responded so quickly to my last-minute road trip shenanigans, and D.O.G. had the best time. The photos she captured were so cute! I’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time I’m in the Tulare area.”
“Truly great dog sitter for our three doggies! He was able to work with us with a last minute change and was very helpful and kind in taking care of our doggies!! Can’t wait to drop them off again!”
“We are thankful to Jennifer for taking good care of our boy while we were out of town for work. We received quick communication and good availability from Jennifer. Throughout the stay, we received picture updates and quick communication as well. At his return, our energetic pup was healthy, tired, and a happy boy!

About: (Provided details for breeds of pets I cannot watch at the bottom) (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Dog breeds I cannot watch in my home are pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, chow chows, and wolf hybrids. This is just part of the navy’s housing policies. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.
About: Working remotely I give your pets the care and love that they deserve. More hugs! More walks! More love! More safety! In rural vt I cared for small and large homes, and medium to larger dogs. Active pets I am active. Older pets and I respite with them more. Every animal has a different personality and different needs. I care. They seem to know. lol. On a side note I volunteer with a local animal shelter and a food bank. I try to make a difference where I can. Growing up we had family dogs. It taught me how amazing animals are. I now have time to give them kindness and love as you would... When I stay in your home your pets have less stress and anxiety in a familiar place. In my home or yours, I take pets for walks and caring play time throughout my workday. This care and attention and play reduces stress and your pet may be more relaxed coming home like after a day at the spa. Yup. :-) Working from my home or yours means more care for your loved family member (aka pets)!

“Kara and her whole family were amazing to our dogs while we were out of the country. She sent us pictures daily and went above and beyond our expectations. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. If you are considering using Kara - I hope you make her your first choice.”
“Thank you for having Ellie Carola! Carola was great with our dog Ellie. She’s very knowledgeable and cares a lot about dogs. Her house and yard is spacious and the dogs have lots of space to run around. She also sent us updates and photos which we appreciate!”
“Laura did a fantastic job taking care of Strider. She kept us updated with messages and communicated well. She was very attentive, and Strider liked her. Her dogs are adorable and help Strider feel comfortable. We highly recommend her!”
“Thank you, Becky, for taking such loving care of my little dog! I believe she came home more well-behaved and a better eater. She doesn’t leave her food in her dish anymore! Amazing! She actually went into the crate by herself when it wasn’t even bedtime. I’ll definitely call when we’re in need of a boarder. This was our first time!”
