“We absolutely loved Lianne she took such good care of our anxious little dog and helped us with socialization which was something we were nervous about. She even took her on great adventures which we loved seeing. Would definitely hire her again, thanks Lianne!”
“Jasmine is Amazing! I was so stressed about being away from my senior pup with medical needs but Jasmine really calmed my nerves with her calm and kind disposition! She took exceptional care of my pup and provided regular updates! I Will definitely request her services in the future!”
“10/10 Leaving our dog Barry with Hilary felt like leaving him with a close friend or family member! From the start, she was responsive, sweet, and welcoming. Throughout Barry’s stay, she sent photos and kept in contact to put us at ease and share how much fun Barry was having. She has a yard, a lovely home, and a delightful personality. I felt great leaving Barry with Hilary and will definitely book again the next time I need it. Thanks again!”
“Miguel was very communicative and took the time to understand our pup before we left him for a few days. Very professional, courteous and friendly! Our dog came back very tired and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle is one of those rare people who immediately puts both dogs and their humans at ease. She took exceptional care of my rescue French Bulldog, Giani, who struggles with separation anxiety and can require a bit of extra patience and understanding. Danielle went above and beyond, even adjusting her schedule to accommodate his needs. Her calm demeanor, confidence, and extensive experience with dogs, including those with special needs, were evident from the start. Throughout Giani’s stay, I felt completely reassured that he was in caring and capable hands. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a truly outstanding dog sitter.”
“Brad and Carolyn were so great with our dog, Marlo. They were very responsive and communicative, so nice to him during his stay, and just seem like they provide a great home. He even got a big, long walk.”
“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pug. She shared frequent pics of our dog on walks and playing in the house. We know our dog had a great mini vacation while we did ourselves!”
“Vivian accepted my boarding request asap when I needed last minute help! My shy dog, Fozzie, warmed up to her quickly. Vivian and her husband welcomed me into their home at the start, so I could see where Fozzie would be playing and see him meet their friendly dog, Daisy. It's very reassuring to get that intro. I'd highly recommend Vivian--she's a fantastic sitter!”
“Absolutely amazing!! Jacob and his wife took care of our golden retriever and he had a great time. He was able to send me pictures and kept me updated every day with how he was doing! He also had a playmate mango which was amazing to have. Would definitely use them again!! They were awesome!”
“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”
“Ryan was awesome to work with and took great care of our dog! He sent pictures very frequently and took Cici out for lots of walks. We would definitely use him again for dog boarding!”
“Honey took such great care of our 2 Australian Shepherds. She was responsive, proactive with asking the right questions, and sent plenty of videos/ photos which we really appreciated. Honey particularly went above and beyond by showing us new commands that she had taught the dogs while we were gone. Our pups came home both exhausted (in a good way), behaved, and well satisfied. Lastly, we were especially appreciative when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and Honey agreed to continue watching the dogs for an extra 4 days even when she has personal plans of her own. Thank you so much, Honey!”
“Wendy is really great with dogs! You can tell right away that she is such an animal lover and is the kindest person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again. Thank you, Wendy!”
“Ashly was amazing!! She is super communicative and responsive, and I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my pup with her. He came home happy and well loved. We would absolutely trust her with our pup again!”
“Ellen was amazing at taking care of our dog Daisie! She sent multiple photos and videos every day and we could tell how happy Daisie was playing with Pepper. I would absolutely book with Ellen again!”

“Cheryl is wonderful! Our kitties love her and she is extremely considerate and responsible. Her attention to detail is appreciated. Would definitely recommend Cheryl to care for your fur babies.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and am comfortable around any size! I love taking my family dogs on walks and hikes and can adjust to energy levels between different ages and breeds :) While I work full-time, I have very flexible morning and lunch-time hours! Mondays: 7:00am-9:30am, 12:30-2:00pm, and again from 5:30-7:30pm Tuesdays: 7:00-8:30am, 11:30-2:00pm, and again from 6:15-7:30pm Wednesdays: 7:00-1:00pm, and again from 6:30-7:30pm Saturdays: 7:00am-7:00pm Sundays: 9:00am-7:00pm Free for housesitting, walks, and hikes on the weekends all day :) I am clean and respectful of other people’s space, and want to help your dog feel comfortable in their home. I am very communicative and can adjust to all kinds of care routines!
“Stefanny was lovely to work with, she responded quickly to a last-minute booking request, and sent lots of photos of our senior cat while we were away. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was cared for, getting her medication, and eating well while we were gone.”
“Jenna did a great job at our first meet / drop in and was so calm with our shy cats. She was able to help with our older cat’s oral meds and we will definitely hire her again!”
“Ellie was a godsend! She made Freckle feel so cared for. I really felt that Freck benefitted from her loving attention. Ellie was super communicative and went the extra mile to help me and my kitty stay connected—my babe has had a lot of changes since being rescued and she has a tendency towards UTI symptoms. That said, Ellie cares deeply for animals and I am sure she would give the world to each of them, no matter their needs. Ellie was so caring to Freckle and they formed a sweet connection! Will definitely be requesting her as a sitter for Freck again.”
“Leo did a great job with our cat. Our cat Polly was calm and happy when we returned and he litter box and feeding area was clean. Leo was punctual, visiting during her feeding times each day and I appreciated his communication.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats while I was away! One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, and she handled both without any issues. She kept up with feeding, cleaned the litter box, and was very communicative — sending daily pictures and updates that gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter!”
“Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving. Chelsi was super responsive, sent photos and always made sure to check in. We appreciated her care so much and will def book her again if given the opportunity. Thank you!!”
About: I bring almost a decade of pet care across several different professional facilities. Whether a puppy, unruly, shy, or elderly I've dealt with it all! I've managed chaotic play yards but I love forming strong one-on-one bonds with all furry creatures- I was many a pup's favorite in the yards, especially the ones who were less confident. I am currently open and flexible in order to accomdate a variety of client schedules. Whether you need a regular walker or weekend drop ins I'm your girl! The safety and well being of your dog is always my priority! I have my own rescue dog who came with a few behavioral quirks and have worked with him extensivley to be an upstanding citizen as well as manage his behaviors in general.
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was little. I had 7+ at a time growing up and have done daily check ins/sat for neighbors since I was 13. I have been relied on to feed, play, and see that pets get their social fix and love for the day. I can provide medications to the animal if need be such as pills.
“Debrah is absolutely AMAZING!! She is so very kind and was so understanding with my last minute booking and trying to get everything together when I had a family emergency. She send me pictures of my cats at every feeding and my usually shy cats took to Debrah right away!! I will definitely be using her again and certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, and responsible sitter! Thank you so much Debrah from me and my furry family members!”
About: I grew up on a homestead with lots of indoor and outdoor barn cats. I have fostered newborn kittens, provided adequate medical care towards my injured kitties, and most importantly mastered keeping cats as happy as can be!
About: Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out. I will always make sure to never leave your dog unattended. Your dog deserves attention and safety is very important to all of us. I will care for your dog as if it’s my own.
About: I have cared for pets most of my life and am a true animal lover. I have experience with dogs, cats and horses and would love to make your pets day special. I am currently taking time off work and when I am in town my schedule is very flexible. I definitely have the ability to tailor my day to your pet’s needs. I am reliable, and trustworthy and if I am in your home or elsewhere will be sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pet.
About: I have a lot of love and experience with animals! My family has always loved animals, and I’ve grown up having multiple dogs throughout my life. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and taking them on walks. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a student at SBCC and currently only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time on the other days to care for your pup! I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and would love to spend my free time taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m unable to have pets stay in my home because I live in student housing, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and they have everything they need.
About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

About: I grew up with dogs, love taking care of them and love to walk for hours! I am offering this service until I get a dog of my own :) I work from home with flexibility in my schedule.

I also cover up my furniture so that the dogs can go on the couch.

This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”

When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”

About: I grew up with pets and now that I have a little one of my own, I feel it’s a great opportunity for my daughter to grow up with them as well. My sister has a ranch with 6 dogs, horses, pigs.... the whole farm. I help quit often. I’m pretty flexible. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I only have to pick up my my international students at 3pm Mon-Fri. Other then that we are out on runs or at the park, or enjoying our huge yard. I live on a half acre with a huge fenced backyard. I also live very close to the beach and bike path. I go for runs often. Your dog will be with me and my 3 year most of the day. My fiancé works a lot! I’m also a host mom to two international kids that go to Bishop High School. We would love to get a dog of our own. I think this is great way to get our feet wet
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets over the course of my entire life. Dogs are my love and bring such joy into my world. I have always had a natural born connection that cannot really be explained. It’s a magnetism and I’m drawn to them as much as they are to me :). I have a deep understanding and knowledge of a variety of health issues that dogs commonly have including bone, joint, heart, GI issues and dietary restrictions. I’ve experienced quite a bit over the course of my life personally caring for dogs with these issues including blindness & deafness, injuries. I’m mature enough and a mom myself to confidently say that your family would be treated as my own would. I have also cared for and owned a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla and then some! ;). Your animals would be loved as my own! Happy to do overnight care on somewhat short notice as well. Live in the Mission canyon area and have a gated yard with space for sun bathing and potty breaks/lizard chasing ;). Reliable car, DL, Insurance etc. - open to running errands, helping around the house (can discuss rate). My schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding as well overnight with a little notice ahead of time. No problem with house sitting I have a gated yard and no pets. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors with dogs that enjoy each other. Local trails close by and the Riviera Theater close and other nice doggy friendly locations!
“Monica was great! She was available and responsive on super short notice and was very flexible when we needed to push our drop off time back. And most importantly of all, she took great care of our pups and made sure to send us several photo-filled updates over the course of the afternoon. Definitely would book with Monica again!”

“Cheryl is extremely responsive and reliable. We have hired her four times in the past year to provide our dogs with walks and check-ins while we are away. She provides peace of mind through pictures, messages, and Rover report cards. The dogs always look happy in their photos which allows us to relax and enjoy our time away!”
“Peyton helped me with a few midday walks for my 15 month old dog. She is a clear communicator, asked what expectations I had & provided pictures and updates throughout each of her visits. My dog can be a little skittish with strangers but he immediately warmed up to her. Highly recommend Peyton!”
“Dawer has brought joy, commitment and hard work to his commitment to walk our golden retriever, Honey. He has been and continues to be such a gift to our family. Our dog, Honey, who has survived a number of illnesses since Dawer became her walker, paces around near her regular "Dawer time" - and no matter how she is feeling on that day - she RUNS to him. He is truly gifted in his interaction with animals and a blessing to Honey and to the many in his circle of friends and colleagues. If you need a compassionate, bright and evolved human to walk your dog and support your dog's life, literally and figuratively , select Dawer.”
About: I've cared for and lived with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently own a 5 y/o small dog, Olive, who I regularly go on hikes and do agility training with. I'm highly organized, patient, and detailed-oriented. For every walk and visit, I always take thorough, precise notes to ensure the pups are comfortable, safe, and having an enjoyable time with me. While I love spoiling other people's dogs, I always ask for explicit permission before introducing new treats, routes, or activities. I'm particularly experienced with shy, anxious, and rescue dogs. Because I'm naturally quiet and calm, sensitive dogs tend to feel safe and warm up to me quickly. I am a PhD student in Communication currently writing my dissertation. I work entirely from home with a flexible schedule. I set my own working hours every day, and I can easily make time for walks or visits to meet your needs. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and emotionally consistent space to build trust and respect with the pets I care for. To me, it's important to treat other people's pet the way I want my pet to be treated, and to recognize that each pet is a unique individual. Generally, I maintain your exact routine for feeding, playtime, and walks. That said, every pet has distinct needs. Beyond just strictly sticking to plans, I always monitor their body language and behaviors to make sure they are comfortable, communicating with you to make adjustments along the way.

About: I’m reliable and trustworthy, with experience caring for a variety of pets, from small dogs to active 1-year-old labs, as well as cats and chickens. I’ve watched multiple pets at the same time and can handle different needs, including giving medication or keeping up with high-energy animals. I’ve been watching pets since high school and grew up around dogs and cats, so being around animals comes naturally. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a full-time working professional with a very flexible schedule that will allow me to drop in during the day or work from home if an all day shift is needed. Depending on my schedule I may be available for short notice requests and I don’t mind same day cancellation as long as there is no travel involved. I try to treat pets like family, giving them attention, patience, and care so they feel safe and comfortable. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their personality. Whether that is lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. Animals are very intuitive, and I’ve found that bringing calm, loving energy helps them open up and feel at ease. I always pay attention to their body language to make sure they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I can't remember a time without a furry (or occasionally aloof, whiskered) friend by my side. I literally came home from the hospital to a wagging tail — my family's dog was my first welcome committee, and honestly, it's been downhill ever since. In the best way. I've shared my home with cats who ran the place like tiny CEOs, and two dogs who kept me on my toes and taught me more about patience than any human ever has. If you've got a dog who needs zoomies and belly rubs, or a cat who'll deign to acknowledge my existence on her own schedule, I speak both languages fluently. I'm also a proud supporter of the Santa Barbara Humane Society — animals have given me enough joy over the years that giving back isn't optional, it's just what you do. When you leave your pet with me, you're not getting a stranger who "loves animals" in the vague, profile-filler kind of way. You're getting someone who will send you the update photos, learn your dog's weird quirks or your cat's exact opinion of strangers, and treat your critter like my own — because that's the whole job. As someone who's self-employed, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, and while I'm not quite ready to welcome a new furry friend into my own home yet, caring for other people's pets has been incredibly meaningful. It keeps me connected to what I love most while giving me the chance to shower someone else's best friend with all the love and care they need. I work from home, I'm flexible throughout the day, for pet companionship and supervision. I'm also an active person who loves getting out, so regular walks to the park, beach, or around downtown are part of my routine. Your furry friend will get both the comfort of a home environment and the adventure of exploring Santa Barbara's best spots.
About: I was a collegiate swimmer at USC and am super active and love the beach and hiking! I currently have a part-time job in marketing for wine businesses and I’m looking to spend more time outside dog walking. I’ve had a blue heeler and cockapoo in the past and love animals. My schedule is super flexible, I work from home and can drop in to walk or watch your pup at anytime. I can provide references as well. I am currently free most of the day and work part time from home. I’m looking to go on more walks during the day with a fur baby. My schedule is flexible! I’m unable to take care of dogs from my home at the moment, but I can bring my laptop to your home if needed!
About: My motto is that it’s my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I’m with your pup , I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it’s my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they’re used to at home . I’m a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as can just come second nature for me ! Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far reaching than that. I’ve worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally It’s always great to chat with owners about what makes their pup tick ! Finally , I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all
About: I’m an experienced and reliable animal lover who’s cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies learning new tricks to sweet senior dogs needing a gentle touch. What sets me apart is the extra attention I give every pet: I don’t just feed and walk them—I bond with them, keep them active, and make sure they feel completely safe and loved while you’re away. I’m confident with training basics, medications, and special routines, and I always send plenty of photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pup’s doing. Whether it’s an energetic beach walk or cozy cuddle time, your dog will be in caring, capable hands every step of the way. 🐾 Caring for dogs is my full-time job, so your pet always gets my full attention and care! 🐶 I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I make sure each dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Since this is what I do full-time, I can easily adjust to your dog’s normal schedule—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles. Your pup’s routine becomes my routine, and I treat every day like it’s dedicated just to them. 💛 ur pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for dogs in my home or yours, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, medications, and bedtime—and keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. I never leave dogs unattended during outdoor time and always use secure leashes and gates for extra safety. I believe in earning your trust through constant communication, sending regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. 🐾❤️

I won’t take offers if I’m not able to be present with your pet. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs. Those that are calm, aggressive, nervous etc. Throughout my years of care i’ve adopted different strategies for different dogs and I’ve proven desirable outcomes. I won’t do anything myself or the owner would not be comfortable with and I follow instructions and preferences diligently. If I assume care in your home I always respect the dog and space as if it was my own. A high standard at that.
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was very young, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. From looking after my own dogs (ranging from various breeds; big and small), I have also taken care of others furry friends. I am quite comfortable with various breeds and temperaments. I have experience in feeding, cleaning up after them, providing lots of playtime, walks and hikes, etc. It’s always a pleasure to keep them company and be a caring companion to them. I have cared for older dogs as well as looked after some puppies. I am mindful of the types of energy, patience and attention each age of dog would need. I am committed to creating a loving and playful environment for the dogs I care for. I believe actively engaging with them and showing them individualized attention is so important in making them feel secure and safe. Every dog is different and I adapt based on their personality to make sure they feel comfortable! I give lots of love to my small dog, George. He is a mix and on the smaller side. I have helped train him and incorporate tricks into playtime so he can have a good time. He means the world to me, so it’s absolutely understandable how deeply others feel about their fur babies too! Trust and reliability are huge in my book, and it would be my pleasure to help take care of your dog/dogs! Hello! I am a hardworking individual working full-time in fashion production. I currently work Monday-Friday 9-5, sometimes 8-4. I am available on weekends at anytime and weekdays after 4/5pm or before 8/9am. I’m hoping I can help someone out during their busy day, and care for their furry friends and also to make my work days a lot brighter! At home my dog has a big yard that has a fence around it. Lots of room for activity! In a client’s home I know it’s important to maintain awareness of safety protocols, keeping door and windows closed if need be. Building trust with clients and their pets is also very important and I am always open to meeting with the dogs beforehand to help them feel more comfortable!
About: I have a lot of love and experience with animals! My family has always loved animals, and I’ve grown up having multiple dogs throughout my life. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and taking them on walks. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a student at SBCC and currently only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time on the other days to care for your pup! I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and would love to spend my free time taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m unable to have pets stay in my home because I live in student housing, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and they have everything they need.
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life. From chihuahuas to border collies to huskies and German Shepards/ Belgium Malinois - I’ve been around them all. I had my chihuahua for 14 years and went through all the stages with him. I was the family and neighborhood dog/cat and house sitter until I moved away for college. I’m a recent college graduate who just moved back to SB and am looking for some enjoyable work while I sort out my gap years. I love all animals and know I would love hanging out with your pet! I swear pets understand what we are saying and some even know how to communicate if you read them well enough. I will give your pet the attention they need and provide the appropriate care. I’ve cared for sick pets that need someone to go the extra mile and have no problem doing it.
About: I’m a caring and dedicated pet sitter who understands how much your pets mean to you. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication, I provide thoughtful and attentive care to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being cared for with kindness and compassion. I work Wednesday through Saturday from 10-6pm which leaves me available all day Sunday through Tuesday, as well as early mornings, and late evenings, and overnight care the rest of the week. I’m happy to accommodate pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays whenever my schedule allows. I strive to be flexible and reliable so your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I take the time to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also help keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and respecting your space as if it were my own. Throughout my visits or stay, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“10/10 Leaving our dog Barry with Hilary felt like leaving him with a close friend or family member! From the start, she was responsive, sweet, and welcoming. Throughout Barry’s stay, she sent photos and kept in contact to put us at ease and share how much fun Barry was having. She has a yard, a lovely home, and a delightful personality. I felt great leaving Barry with Hilary and will definitely book again the next time I need it. Thanks again!”
“Miguel was very communicative and took the time to understand our pup before we left him for a few days. Very professional, courteous and friendly! Our dog came back very tired and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle is one of those rare people who immediately puts both dogs and their humans at ease. She took exceptional care of my rescue French Bulldog, Giani, who struggles with separation anxiety and can require a bit of extra patience and understanding. Danielle went above and beyond, even adjusting her schedule to accommodate his needs. Her calm demeanor, confidence, and extensive experience with dogs, including those with special needs, were evident from the start. Throughout Giani’s stay, I felt completely reassured that he was in caring and capable hands. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a truly outstanding dog sitter.”
“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pug. She shared frequent pics of our dog on walks and playing in the house. We know our dog had a great mini vacation while we did ourselves!”
“Vivian accepted my boarding request asap when I needed last minute help! My shy dog, Fozzie, warmed up to her quickly. Vivian and her husband welcomed me into their home at the start, so I could see where Fozzie would be playing and see him meet their friendly dog, Daisy. It's very reassuring to get that intro. I'd highly recommend Vivian--she's a fantastic sitter!”
“Absolutely amazing!! Jacob and his wife took care of our golden retriever and he had a great time. He was able to send me pictures and kept me updated every day with how he was doing! He also had a playmate mango which was amazing to have. Would definitely use them again!! They were awesome!”

“Ryan was awesome to work with and took great care of our dog! He sent pictures very frequently and took Cici out for lots of walks. We would definitely use him again for dog boarding!”
“Honey took such great care of our 2 Australian Shepherds. She was responsive, proactive with asking the right questions, and sent plenty of videos/ photos which we really appreciated. Honey particularly went above and beyond by showing us new commands that she had taught the dogs while we were gone. Our pups came home both exhausted (in a good way), behaved, and well satisfied. Lastly, we were especially appreciative when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and Honey agreed to continue watching the dogs for an extra 4 days even when she has personal plans of her own. Thank you so much, Honey!”

“Angelin was great, I’d definitely book with her again. She kept me updated with messages and photos and was really flexible with drop-off and pick-up. My dog can take a little time to warm up in new situations, but she connected with him quickly and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the whole time.”
“Ellen was amazing at taking care of our dog Daisie! She sent multiple photos and videos every day and we could tell how happy Daisie was playing with Pepper. I would absolutely book with Ellen again!”
