“Allison was great and Beau loved visiting with her. She sent regular pictures and updates and made sure he was well integrated with the other animals at her home. Would use her again and recommend her to others. Kind and considerate.”
“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”
“Nadine is the only one we trust with our dog. I drive from the bay area to Modesto just to take drop our pup off sometimes in hours of traffic. If that doesn't tell how good she is then idk what else will 😂”
“Margerita was very accommodating and understanding during the entire stay. I was worried about leaving my dog for the first time, but she communicated well and helped my husband and I ease our mind. My Australian shepherd is an anxious dog, but when I picked her up she seemed very happy and taken care of. I could tell that Margerita was able to handle my dog incredibly well and it made me extremely happy to have my dog socialized with Margeritas pets. I highly recommend her services, and I will definitely book through her in the future!”
“Ana was awesome with our dog Waldo while we were away for a week in Yosemite! She sent tons of pics every day of him playing with other pups, and he looked so happy the whole time. Waldo came home relaxed and super chill — clearly well taken care of. Definitely recommend Ana!”
“This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone overnight, and we were honestly very hesitant at first. We are so thankful we decided to trust Stephanie and her family! From the moment we met them, we instantly felt welcomed, relieved, and confident that our fur baby would be in great hands. Stephanie went above and beyond by sending daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our fur baby was loved and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her for boarding services and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

“We are so grateful for Tali! Our flight was canceled on our return date and I had to text her last minute to see if she could come one more time. She didn’t hesitate for a second, she just replied, “I’ll be there.” Our cat is diabetic and requires insulin twice a day, I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She cares for him as if he were her own, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving, reliable hands. Highly recommend!”

“She was able to take on my last minute request , thankfully because she works from home. I really appreciate the flexibility for my literal last minute request.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals.

Always lock the doors, and make sure I don't step outside without the key incase I get locked out. Providing pets with food and fresh water. Administering medication to pets according to the instructions provided by pet owners. Cleaning out litter boxes and crates.

Dogs are able to sit on couch, sleep with me in my king bed, have snack breaks and go in the backyard for potty breaks and to play fetch. My fenced backyard has a large grass area and a covered patio, we spend lots of time hanging out there on nicer days. I own my home in a nicer neighborhood since 2012. I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates.

Whether your pet needs a calm, structured environment, help maintaining routines, or just extra attention while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to provide reliable, informed care you can feel confident in.
About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and have dealt with dogs all my life. My now senior dog was once a pup so I’m experienced with all ages. I often volunteer at the shelter for doggy day out so I am familiar with dogs as small as 10 lbs to 70 lbs. I currently work a part time job so I am looking for some fun activities to do on my day off. I hope one of those activities could be taking your dog on a playful walk! Safety and trust is a top priority for me and I always want my clients to feel that their dogs are in safe hands and have full trust in my abilities.
About: I am looking forward to caring for your pets! I grew up with very big dogs, German shepherds, Cane Corso, and Pitbulls, so I know how to properly give them the care they need.

Whether that is a long walk or pets inside I will always be sure to communicate effectively, send you updates and photos. I will be mindful and focused on your pet at all times.
“Melissa was very accommodating and quick to respond. She updated me throughout the day and sent such cute photos of my puppy. I was nervous since this was my first time leaving my puppy and using the app but she put me at ease. Would definitely use her again.”
About: I've had animals all my life, big, small and all species. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets keeping them happy and safe, while they were away. I have been caring for client pets in a professional manner for about 2 1/2 to 3 years and continue to do so everyday! I have lots of pets of my own that are fed every morning and night as well as taken out for exercise as much as I possibly can. I have experience working as a kennel attendant, some background in vet tech (no degree) and I have been a pet sitter for about 2 1/2 years. I have recently opened up my availability to accept more clients and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I like to make sure your pet gets all the exercise they need so they aren’t super wound up by the time you get home! Treats are always giving if allowed and lots of attention of course. For house sittings, I also include plant watering services, making sure mail and packages are brought in and that the house is clean before you get home!
“Mirella was wonderful! She was so sweet and attentive with my Biggie! She gave him a lot of verbal feedback and praise, which Biggie responds well to. We hope to go on many more walks with Mirella ?”
About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs whenever they go out so I can be trusted to feed, play, and spend time with yours too. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time throughout the week. What better way to spend it than to be playing and caring for your pets while you are gone. I will make sure to always have them feed at their hours, spend time with them, play, interact and always make sure they feel comfortable in a safe environment.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.

“Nadine is the only one we trust with our dog. I drive from the bay area to Modesto just to take drop our pup off sometimes in hours of traffic. If that doesn't tell how good she is then idk what else will 😂”
“Ana was awesome with our dog Waldo while we were away for a week in Yosemite! She sent tons of pics every day of him playing with other pups, and he looked so happy the whole time. Waldo came home relaxed and super chill — clearly well taken care of. Definitely recommend Ana!”
“This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone overnight, and we were honestly very hesitant at first. We are so thankful we decided to trust Stephanie and her family! From the moment we met them, we instantly felt welcomed, relieved, and confident that our fur baby would be in great hands. Stephanie went above and beyond by sending daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our fur baby was loved and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her for boarding services and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away by providing the exact same love, attention, and structured care that you do.

“Tracey and Rick are simply the best! I feel so comfortable having my 10 yr old rescue (Boogie) in their care. I LOVE receiving photos of him while at the farm! What a considerate, loving thing to do! I’d very highly recommend Once Upon a Happy Farm!!”
“We had a great experience with Taylor and Brian taking care of our dog, Kellie. Taylor’s background in a veterinary clinic made us feel very confident in her care. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience, especially with fostering. Caring for animals is a natural calling for her. Kellie was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again for Kellie in the future!”

I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!

“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Amazing! From the meet and greet to the drop off, the stay and the pick up, Angela was simply amazing throughout. Every update had fun details and every picture sent showed my baby’s happy face. We will definitely ask to avail of her services again!”

I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare (if applicable), and pet sitting in your home during the day. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Being attentive. Having a routine is what I believe pets thrive on to be an obedient. I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
“Nestor watched over my Bulldog Romeo while I had to go out of town. He watched him for a total of 7 day. Nestor was in contact with me the whole time sending pictures and updates of Romeo. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog.”
