“Hana was wonderful with our slightly neurotic older poodle mix. When I picked her up after her overnight visit, she really seemed like she had had fun! And Hana's home environment seems like doggy paradise. She provided me pics throughout the day, and her communication was excellent. I would be glad to use Hana's services again.”
“Lisa is incredible! Not only is she super kind and helpful for drop off and picks ups but my pup is OBSESSED!! Lisa is so great about taking mango on tons of walks and socializing her with other dogs. Lisa is also great about keeping me informed with daily messages and pictures. I feel like I save her pictures as my background more often than my own! All in all, mango and I will always go to Lisa :)”

“Wonderful host! Bella was comfortable with Robin right away and came home tired and happy! Really appreciate all of the daily pictures and videos. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Prompt responses and picture updates without having to ask. Boarding my puppy with Shileen I was given piece of mind my son was being taken care of and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will be boarding with Shileen again !”
“Rachelle was amazing and definitely went above & beyond caring for our dog. Usually I am sure stressed when we have someone watching our pup but this time Rachelle gave us a peace of mind that was unmatched. With multiple photos, videos, walks, playtime, etc. it was seriously so awesome & I cannot thank her enough! We definitely will be booking her again :)”
“We're so grateful to have found Linda to care for our Bodhi. She's so loving and sweet with him, and we know that his every need is being tended to. We love the photos and updates that she sends, and the fact that he cries when it's time to go home shows us that he loves her right back!”
“Cassie was so friendly and did a wonderful job taking care of Noelle! She was easy to reach and communicate with. I will definitely be using Cassie to watch Noelle in the future!”
“Araceli is great and her house is perfect for my smedium sized dog! I know that Scout felt at home and enjoyed running around her yard when she wasn’t lazing around. That allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands thank you Araceli for taking such good care of Scout! 🐾”
“It is obvious how much Marwa loves cats and takes great care of them. She was a lifesaver for my Felix as he is newly rescued, was sick and not neutered so I had very limited options on where to board him, but she was happy to have him as her only cat for the week I was gone. He loved her and came back a happy cat.”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“Alisiene was a great find and I would give her 10 stars if I could! From our initial communication to the meet and greet to the actual stay and final pick up, she was friendly, professional, communicative and extremely kind. Bob staid with her for a week and A’s daily updates kept us connected to him. He warmed up to her and her dogs almost immediately and I was thrilled he was part of their pack. Highly recommend.”
“Diana is a great pup sitter! Everything went smoothly from drop off to pick up and my dog was very warm and cuddley with her which shows me she took the time to bond with my (somewhat shy) pup. Can’t ask for much more!”
“Ozzy was taken care of very well and he got along great with the pups in the home. Kaitlin and her partner were very friendly and great at communicating and keeping us updated on our boy. Definitely will book again when needed.”
“Our fur kids had another great stay with Tinsika & Bob! We really appreciate the pictures and videos Tinsika sent . We look forward to future pet sitting with them!”
“I recently had my dog stay with Lisa for 3 weeks, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Lisa's home is very dog-friendly, with a spacious backyard where dogs can roam freely and play. My dog had friends to play with for pretty much all of the stay, and I could tell from the photos that he was enjoying his time there. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Your furry friend will be in great hands!”

She showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all my instructions carefully, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was done properly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

She is great with cats and we will not hesitate to have her take care of our babies next time we’re out of town.”
“Jazmin did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. She communicated well and sent great photos. She also responded to additional requests promptly. I will be asking for her help in the future!”

You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”
“Hollyanne was fabulous. She continuously shared photos of Lancelot and so I knew he was having a good time. At the end when I picked him up, he just wanted to keep hanging out which he doesn’t normally want to do. I will definitely use Hollyanne again. Thank you for taking such good care of Lancelot!”
About: I understand leaving your baby with a stranger can be scary at first, I am here to help ease the worry! I grew up caring for and loving all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, snakes, fish, hamsters, amphibians, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, goats. I would spend my weekends on a farm and had many animals growing up! I am also very eager to learn about new animals and grow my experience. I will take care of your animal as if it were my own. I live with my Fiancé who works a full time job. He has a hybrid schedule. I am currently unemployed so I do not have a full time job. This allows me to have a more active lifestyle with your pet! I understand it can be scary leaving your animal with someone you don’t know. I don’t have any other animals and will give your animal my undivided attention. Willing to do meet and greats before hand as well!

“Karilou is probably the best dog walker Gus and I've had. He adores her. One day I stayed home from work and forgot to contact Karilou. Gus knew she was coming before I did. When she arrived a was so glad because I was too sick to walk Gus. I thought he was going to knock her over he was so happy to see her. Thanks Karilou! I know Gus is always happy to spend time with you!”
“Due to an injury, living upstairs I’m not supposed to do much of and having to use a cane for awhile, I desperately needed help asap walking my big girl. We are active and usually walk at least two miles twice a day. I came across Daniel’s profile, nervous as I’ve never had anyone but myself walk my sometimes very hard headed strong Cane Corso. I really appreciated that his profile noted that he’s comfortable with bigger breeds and has one of his own. I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic, kindness, gentle demeanor, quick communication, punctuality, professionalism - all of it! Not to mention my dog with some serious separation anxiety by the 3rd morning was up before the alarm in the morning to put on her “necklace” and go walk with her new bestie! She now pouts and looks out the window for an hour after their walks! (ha ha thanks Daniel!) I have booked future walks with full confidence and absolutely no hesitation. I am so very very thankful for his way with my working breed dog and his help!”
“Emily J. filled in at the last minute for my weekly Saturday afternoon walk. She is very friendly, and my dog liked her instantly. She is on time and professional. I would definitely recommend her as a walker.”
“Colin was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. He was able to give my dog a long walk for the time and kept me updated throughout the time. Would recommend to anyone in Folsom/Sacramento area!”
“This is our first time working with Dominque. So, we used yesterday's walk to help my fur babies warm up to her in preparation for an upcoming house sitting job next month. My dogs are near 100 each and get real excited when they see other dogs. She did GREAT handling each dog...adopting to their personality, pace, and curiosity. My boys took to her instantly. This brought peace to my heart watching her interact with them so masterfully yet lovingly. I am sure glad we have Dominque to depend on to help with our pet needs!!! She is an answer to prayer!”
“Alyssa was so sweet and gentle with our Meatball! We will DEFINITELY be having her taking him on walks in the near future again. Also took some beautiful photos of him. Very good at communicating as well :)”
“Leilani did a great job with Atlas! He’s very walker dependent, so we spent a lot of time going over what works for him. She was able to follow all of my directions and manage him well! He’s e collar trained and I had her take it just in case. She’s definitely comfortable with strong pups!”
“Allie is so great with my dog Sophie, who is a 13 year old lovable but leash aggressive dog. She handles her well and wasn’t hesitant to take us on as a client. She is also great about accommodating my unpredictable schedule, last minute requests and goes out of her way to be available for Sophie. Highly recommend!”
“Malta (our golden retriever) had a great walk with Kaitie. She sent updates upon arrival and departure plus pictures of her walk. Malta looks forward to more walks with Kaitie”

“I can't say enough good things about Birdie! She is super sweet with both of our dogs and always gives us great updates. She goes above and beyond to take care of them and make sure they are both happy and comfy. She is definitely 5+ stars!”
“Melanie walked our 3 dogs and did a great job! She walked the littles and the senior separately and did a great job modifying their walk for variety and to match their energy. She is really friendly, nice, and reliable. Highly recommend!!”
“Justine has been so great with our dog Freddie! He is a rescue and usually very timid around new people but Justine was very attentive and sweet with him from their very first meeting. She puts extra thought into what he needs and makes him feel comfortable. He has already warmed up to her! She’s the best!!”

“Todd and Bill were AMAZING! They took such great care of our dog and sent daily updates with photos and videos. This was the longest we had ever left our dog for a stay, but Todd and Bill made sure to ease our minds while we were away. It seems like our dog had a great time because he passed out on the couch almost as soon as we got home! They even washed a blanket we left for our dog to relax on, so it was fresh and clean when we got home. Their attention to detail was highly appreciated and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you again Todd and Bill, we really appreciated your care in taking care of our precious cargo :)”
“What a marvelous dog boarding experience! Thank you Tatiana for keeping our big boy for a week. We received updates with photos every day. She brought him along to so many activities: the park, to brunch, the coffee shop, to work. In between fun outings, our boy was cozy and comfortable at her home. We appreciated her care and compassion for our furry family member. We will book with Tatiana again!”
“We were very pleased with the care provided to our dog Juna. It was the first time using Rover and Katelyn immediately calmed our nerves at drop off. We had a daily morning photo and text to let us know all was going well. Love that they only sit 1 or 2 dogs at a time so it wasn’t overstimulating for Juna. Juna seemed happy and relaxed and we will use Katelyn and Paul again in the near future. Def recommend! 👍”
“Bryan and Christina were great! They were willing to accommodate our 4month old puppy on relatively short notice! This was our first time leaving him alone and they made it so easy! Our pup was definitely tuckered out from all the fun he had during his stay!”
“Jason was great with our dog Max. He sent us picture updates and gave Max bath, even though he didn’t have to. At the end he sent Max home with a nice doggy treat bag. Jason went above and beyond and treated our dog Max like his own. I highly recommend Jason for dog boarding services.”
