“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home!

“Minhee and Minwoo are absolutely incredible! They watched my dog, Benny, and truly went above and beyond in every way. It was so clear that they treated him like one of their own. He even got special treats and so much individual attention. The best part of the experience was the communication; I received so many updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Benny was actually sad to leave them when I picked him up, which speaks volumes about the care they provide. I was beyond impressed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Another great experience with Rachel! Our dog loves her and we always get such great pictures/ updates from her! I always say “you can’t fake vibe” and Rachel seems to be all good vibes!”
“We are so thankful to Xochitl for taking such amazing care of Fluffy during his 5-day boarding stay while we were out of town. Knowing Fluffy was in such loving, patient, and trustworthy hands gave us so much peace of mind. Xochitl treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for every day. Fluffy also had so much fun playing with the other puppies, which made his stay even more enjoyable. When we came back, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly happy, showing how much he enjoyed his time with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and highly recommend Xochitl to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I've grown up caring for all kinds of cats, from skittish strays to lazy Maine coons. I am calm and soft-spoken, and most importantly, I am fluent in cat language. I know how to interpret everything whiskers-related, from squinting eyes to muffin making. I am also timely, reliable, and responsible, so you can trust that your cat's paws are in good hands. In addition to caring for my own cats, I started my own pet services business as a child. I cared for all the neighborhood pets, including cats, dogs, and even parrots. As an adult, I've continued to care for other cats by volunteering at several cat rescues over the years.
“Kirra did a great job watching my cat! She was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked her for the wrong day and was able to come when I needed her anyway. I came home to a happy healthy cat and clean house. 5 out of 5 ⭐️”
“Theresa was fantastic. She worked well with my elderly mother. We could not of done it without her. Theresa administered oral liquid medications and a shot to her cat. Thank you for your service!”

“Hello! Audrey was fantastic! My fiancé and I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, they gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cat, Anakin, felt comfortable and happy with her. We’re so grateful she took the time to stop by and care for him. Highly recommend her!”
“Rachel is the BEST. I genuinely feel so much less anxiety when I’m traveling because I know I can trust her to take excellent care of *and* love on my boy (he’s a people cat, so play and snuggles are very important to him!). I’ve always had nice sitters, but I’ve noticed a real difference with Rachel. She wrote the sweetest notes and really goes above and beyond with the photos as well, which I appreciate so much 😻 She’s a gem!”
“Virginie was amazing with my two cats! She was so gentle when she met them, you could really tell she’s had a lot of experience with cats. She sent me amazing pictures every visit and she even took care of my plants! I will definitely be asking Virginie to watch my cats again and would recommend her to anyone! Merci Virginie :)”
“We've been lucky to have Laynee hang out with our cat a few times while my husband and I have been traveling for weddings this year and she has always done a great job of playing with him and refilling the food bowls and water bowl and emptying the litter box. She helped us out when our previous sitter bailed last minute which brought so much ease knowing he was okay. Can't recommend enough!”
About: Hi, I’m Micki (Marian is my legal name)! My husband and I own a dog-friendly home in OB with a secure yard. We have 2 gentle, dog-savvy kids, ages 5 and 6. I work from home, and someone is almost always around. We’ve had dogs most of our lives, have fostered several, and have 4+ years of experience house sitting through another platform. Reviews from the other platform are in my photos. We currently don’t have pets and host only one household at a time. We love dogs of all kinds and will treat yours like part of the family—whether they need long walks, medication, special care or diet, or just lots of love and attention! **I do not require meet and greets, but happy to do meet and greets either in person or over video. We’ve cared for high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, dogs with medical needs, and newly rescued pups. Having completed a dog training program through Noble Dogs, I’d be glad to help reinforce training while your pup is with us. You can expect clear communication and lots of photo updates while your pup is with us. Discounts available for longer stays or multiple dogs from the same household. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for multiple walks a day and plenty of one-on-one time with your pup. My husband commutes to Mira Mesa and usually handles morning drop-off at our kids’ school just a few blocks away, while I do afternoon pickup around 5 p.m. I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and am happy to help with transportation if needed. My husband and I own a home in OB with a securely fenced yard, a dog door, and a fully dog-proofed space. We don’t use pesticides or keep any toxic plants, and our kids (ages 5 and 6) are well-trained in keeping gates and doors closed to keep pets safe. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and we secure the dog door whenever we’re not home. Inside, your dog will have free run of the house. They’re welcome to sleep in a crate (we have a large one available), in the living room, our bedroom, or on a dog bed - whatever matches your routine. For those with multiple pets, we can easily separate them at mealtimes or as needed for comfort and safety. We have easy street parking and can offer our driveway for drop-off and pickup if needed. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and leave your home exactly as I found it—clean and cared for. Depending on the length of the stay, I may need to bring the kids along, so please keep that in mind if requesting house sitting services.
About: There has hardly been a day of my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. I have years of experience working with all ages of pets—from potty training new puppies to taking care of senior dogs, I can do it. I work as a freelance graphic designer, so my schedule is flexible enough to go and pick up petsitting gigs like this. Not to mention that I just love animals so I’d find any reason to bail on whatever I’m doing to go see your pet. I can swing by any day of the week to help out! Details are very important to me when it comes to taking care of others’ pets, especially when it’s in their own home. Spare me no instruction or request you might have for me and I will happily oblige!
About: Hi! My name is Madyson and I’ve owned animals all my life including dogs, cats, goats, chickens, etc. I have my veterinary assistant certificate and have been working at veterinary hospitals for the past 6 years working with dogs, cats and birds. I live with my dog border collie mix Calvin and 2 Rottweilers, Missy and Sadie. I have a deep love for all animals and will treat your fur baby like my own! I am currently in nursing school Monday to Thursday mornings so I am available between 11:30 and 6:30 on week days with some weekend availability as well! I am very comfortable working with dogs of all breeds and sizes and can accommodate to their schedule. I will always make sure your pet is happy and safe at all times!
About: Hello!! I’ve had doggies and kitties since I was a kid! So I have experience with puppies to senior dogs :) Most recently I got a golden retriever puppy in November 2025 and she’s my whole world! I’m an ER Nurse so my schedule does rotate but on my days off Ophelia and I spend it walking around OB and sunset cliffs while fitting in playtime with toys and cuddles. So my schedule is somewhat flexible to help out! Just send me a request and if I’m free I’d love to help you:) I currently live in an apartment in a very walkable neighborhood! So even though I don’t have a yard I get outside frequently by either taking Ophelia on multiple walks and sometimes down to the beach to play! I am able to do anything you need that is safest for your pet! I’m available to have your pet in my home for daycare/overnights or if you prefer in your home as long as you don’t mind your pet playing with my Ophelia!
“Carly was a true professional with a great attitude and made everything easy peasy. I've already hired her for a second job. Best part was Cooper loved her immediately! Looking forward to working with her on an ongoing basis.”
“Laura was by far the best pet sitter I’ve ever hired. She checked in dutifully, checked off every ask we had for care, but most importantly really seemed to get to know my kitties and care for them. I was nervous to leave one of my cats with a sitter due to him being recently diagnosed as diabetic, but she handled injections like a pro and updated me with full summaries and pictures to make me feel at ease/reassured while I was away. Apart from that, she even did things I didn’t request but that were so helpful, like watering my Christmas tree and bringing in Amazon packages. I could go on endlessly, but please know that if you hire Laura, her care will exceed your expectations and leave you worry-free that your pets are well-cared for!”

“My Chauncey really likes Kelsey. He walks out of her home with a prance in his step. She always texts me, sends me photos of him, her care is amazing. Thank you!”
“Oliver loved hanging out with Danny! You can tell he really loves having dogs around!! He was super accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. Oliver was so happy and literally didn’t want to leave his house so it’s safe to say we’d recommend him for sure and are eager to have him watch our dog again.”
“Jessica took such great care of Remi! She had an amazing day with Jessica’s family and kids and it was clear she was so loved and well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout and I felt completely at ease knowing Remi was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her 🐾🤍”
“Dillon was great and very accommodating! My pup loved him and he came back to me very tired, which is a hard thing to do for my dog. I will definitely use Dillon again for puppy sitting!”
About: Lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves to feel right at home! I share my home with a sweet 13-year-old terrier mix, Zora, so I have plenty of experience with senior dog care and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. With a flexible schedule, your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home has plenty of room to zoom with hardwood floors and a large, fenced backyard that's perfect for fetch, and I love taking walks along Sunset Cliffs.

I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day.

I also enjoy daily neighborhood walks, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and sniffing all the exciting sights along the way!
“Anne and her family were wonderful right off the bat ! I immediately felt comfortable and safe leaving our new puppy with her ! She was always quick to respond with my questions before and during my puppy’s visit! We will definitely reach out again !”
About: Hi, I’m Rosa — a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom! I have years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities, from high-energy huskies to independent Shiba Inus. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether we’re out for a walk or they’re staying overnight. I’m attentive, responsible, and love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m already used to taking my own dogs on regular walks, so incorporating walks, playtime, and cuddles with other pups fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, dogs enjoy a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes — so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same respect and attention I give my own. I make sure water bowls are always full, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
“Tiffany has been such a caring and reliable sitter for my Chloe! Since the first time watching Chloe she has showed so much patience and consideration for Chloe’s situation being her first time away from me! I have now rebooked with Tiffany 4 times and she has been so reliable every weekend for me ! I was so nervous about leaving Chloe with a sitter but now I get to go to work knowing she is safe every time ! 10/10 recommend Tiffany to everyone if you’re looking for someone that knows how to communicate and really care for our little fur babies 💕”
About: I grew up with standard poodles and other animals, so animal care as always been a big part of my life. I've worked as a vet assistant and kennel tech where I assisted with exams and took care of boarded animals at the clinic. Some were boarded for a few days or while the recovered from surgery. I handled things like giving medication, baths, feeding and walks as well as cleaning the kennel facility. I've extended that same standard of thorough and compassionate care to all aspects of dog care, ensuring their care and well-being is the top priority! I have a flexible schedule and I can walk your dog several times a day as needed and they can play in the backyard, lounge on a covered porch or stay indoors. I also can take them to the small beach at the end of my street or the famous Dog Beach for exercise and a swim if you like. I live in a house on a quiet street, in a pet friendly neighborhood along Sunset Cliffs, Ocean Beach. I have a large backyard and side yard that locks and a shady covered porch. Your dog is more than welcome to stay inside the house the entirety of their stay as well. i like to watch behaved and non aggressive dogs.
“Carly was wonderful with our pup! She is sweet, transparent and communicative. Our dog is a little sensitive and Carly was very accommodating to her needs. Highly recommend to anyone that’s looking!”
About: Hi there! I’m Syd a lifelong animal lover based right here in Ocean Beach. Because I work from home full-time, your baby will never be left alone and will get all the attention, potty breaks, and playtime they need!I live just steps from Dog Beach, making it the perfect spot for supervised, high-energy exercise if they are social! Whether your dog prefers a gentle stroll along the boardwalk, a quick swim, or just curling up in a cozy spot inside, I will tailor every visit to their exact routine and temperament. I am experienced with administering medication, senior dog care, and high-energy breeds. I treat every fur baby like my own family. I can't wait to meet your best friend! I currently work completely from home and have a reliable car. Visiting friends will join our little family and have a fun beach vacation right on Dog Beach! I have a fenced small side yard for sun basking, but the fur babies are taken on 4/5 walks a day due to being right on the beach i can’t help myself! If they are social we have the whole beach to run and if not all of ocean beach or a cozy animal loving home to sleep. There is access to water 24/7, dog beds in every room, and they get to walk as much as they’d like!
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for and training dogs with a wide range of needs, especially around separation anxiety, reactivity, and foundational obedience. I currently train my own dog, Benny, and have spent significant time working with professional trainers and behavior resources to help him feel calm, confident, and well-behaved in different environments. Through Benny, I’ve developed deep experience with: • Separation anxiety: building gradual independence, calm departures/arrivals, enrichment routines, and positive reinforcement. • Basic obedience: sit, stay, down, recall, leash manners, impulse control, and consistency in commands. • Reactivity and overstimulation: managing leash reactivity, structured walks, threshold training, and reading dog body language to prevent stress and escalation. • Positive reinforcement training: reward-based methods tailored to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I’ve also cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs—through dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years. I prioritize clear communication, routine, and safety, and I always adapt my approach to each dog’s unique needs. Because I understand how sensitive some dogs can be, I’m especially patient, observant, and proactive. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in thoughtful, capable hands. I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I structure my days around my own dog, Benny, which means I’m already used to planning walks, playtime, training, feeding, and calm rest periods into my routine. Benny’s schedule includes morning and evening walks, enrichment activities, training sessions, and plenty of downtime, so I’m comfortable balancing multiple dogs with different needs and energy levels. I’m happy to adapt my schedule to match your pet’s routine, whether that means extra potty breaks, medication, structured exercise, quiet companionship, or specific feeding and training preferences. Because I’m home most of the day, I can provide attentive care, frequent check-ins, and a calm, consistent environment. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routine that helps them thrive. I use positive reinforcement only in all interactions with dogs. I believe in building trust, confidence, and good behavior through patience, consistency, and reward-based training rather than punishment. Through training my own dog, Benny, I’ve gained extensive experience working through separation anxiety, basic obedience, and reactivity using gentle, science-backed methods. I also have experience with fostering dogs and have completed safety and handling trainings through the San Diego Humane Society. These experiences have helped me better understand dog body language, stress signals, and how to safely support dogs with different backgrounds, temperaments, and needs. As a pet parent myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I provide frequent updates, photos, and messages during each stay or walk. My goal is not just to care for your pet, but to make sure you feel informed, reassured, and confident that your dog is happy, safe, and loved while in my care.
“Donovan was great! Professional, very friendly, communicative, and easy-going. It was our first time bringing our pup here. She loved running and chasing the other dogs there, and came home exhausted. She is now fast asleep and probably dreaming about her fun day. Would definitely recommend Donovan, and we will be back for more playtime!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.
About: I'm a total dog person! No matter the breed, I'm sure to love and adore every dog I meet. I've been around dogs my entire life and am well-versed in the unique personalities and quirks that come with different breeds. Growing up, friends and family regularly relied on me to care for their pets while they were away, which gave me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. In San Diego, I’ve been walking dogs for the last 5 years. Some of the breeds I have extensive experience with include English Bulldogs, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Pugs. I also have an English Bulldog of my own, so I'm very familiar with the special care brachycephalic (smushed-face) breeds require, including their sensitivity to heat and exercise. I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs🙂 My English Bulldog is a total couch potato! He's spent a lot of time around other dogs and loves having a companion to hang out and relax with when we host. We live in a spacious two-story, two-bedroom ADU with a private, fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run and play. Our home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood in Point Loma. Out of respect for our neighbors and to ensure a calm environment for all of our guests, we do not accept dogs with barking habits.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past 6 years and regularly watch dogs for friends, sometimes for up to two weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable having dogs in my home and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I live very close to both a dog beach and a park, so unless you prefer otherwise, I’m happy to take your dog along for walks, park trips, and beach time. I also have a large private fenced patio where dogs can safely hang out outside and come in and out throughout the day. My dog is extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. She’s easygoing, doesn’t play rough, and is used to having other dogs around. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying at a second home and have a great time while they’re here. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and your dog won’t be left home alone while staying with me. I already structure my day around walks, playtime, and time outside with my own dog, so having another pup around fits naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and potty schedule. I live in a private bungalow with no shared walls and a large, fully fenced private patio where the dogs can safely spend time outside throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home inside as well. My own dog is very sweet, easygoing, and friendly with other dogs, and she doesn’t play rough. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day.

“We were visiting San Diego for the weekend and Kirra took our pup for a walk two consecutive nights when we had evening plans. She was responsive, caring, and very reliable. Could not recommend her more!”
About: Dog dad who spent 11 amazing years with my sweet Pitty, Zuri. I also helped raise four puppies and have many friends whose dogs and cats I consider family. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I'll take the time to get to know your fur baby and work with you to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced caring for pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, pets with special dietary or medical needs, and those with unique personalities or behavioral challenges, including reactive or aggressive pets. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I know firsthand how much our pets miss us when we're away, and I always wanted Zuri to receive the same love, patience, and attention that I gave her at home and is exactly the kind of care I'll provide for your loved ones. *Heartbreakingly, Zuri passed away over two years ago, so there won't be any other pets with me while I care for yours. Taking on new clients to fill my schedule. Currently have no schedule restrictions besides the beginning of September and the last week of September/week of October. I will treat your loved one as if they were my own by making sure they're always safe and happy. I know what it was like to be away from a pup and understand the stress their under while their person is away and is why it's so important to me that you and they are satisfied with the care I provide.
“Always does a great job with Dexter. She’s so careful to make sure his water is clean and fresh before she leaves. Mady definitely cares about animals and it shows.”

Over my entire life, I’ve gotten the privilege to take care of dogs, cats, chickens, fish and turtles in my home. I have never known life without a pet and I don’t think I ever will🐶🐱 Just let me know any day or time you need me and I can make myself available. I have a super flexible schedule and can move around anything necessary to help you and your furry friend out:) Currently the house is occupied by a bonded pair of sweet and rambunctious male cats. Both are 6 years old and love to play while chasing each other down the halls. The home is filled plenty of enrichment activities like toys, scratchers and cat trees. They have unlimited access to the entire house and are indoor only kitties.
“Dillon is great! He's been walking Chase for over a month now. Dillon always sends pictures and reports on the walks with Chase, and always refills his water bowl. He is just a great guy and someone I trust to take care of Chase.”
About: Hi, I’m Rosa — a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom! I have years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities, from high-energy huskies to independent Shiba Inus. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether we’re out for a walk or they’re staying overnight. I’m attentive, responsible, and love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m already used to taking my own dogs on regular walks, so incorporating walks, playtime, and cuddles with other pups fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, dogs enjoy a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes — so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same respect and attention I give my own. I make sure water bowls are always full, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
“Aimee is great! I can tell she really cares about my lil guy. She spends the entire 30 minutes with him even if he doesn’t want to walk the whole time. And she sends nice detailed updates and photos. I will continue to work with Aimee and I highly recommend her.”
“Laura is truly a godsend. She is so patient with our reactive pup, and she cares so much about her well being. I feel so much better knowing she’s in good hands and getting exercise during the day and appreciate her notes and photos. She’s the dog auntie we didn’t know we needed!”
About: I am dependable and will make sure your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away. I'll give them plenty of love and attention and make sure they feel comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find a time that fits your needs. Send me a message and we can chat further! Your pet's safety is always my top priority. I'll make sure your dog stays on a leash during walks and will give your pets plenty of attention and care while I'm with them.
“Lea saved the day during a work trip to San Diego that kept me inside when my pups were there to Enjoy Dog beach! Leah came in under an hour and took them for a 60 minute walk from my Airbnb to the beach and back. They were happy and relaxed when they got home. Thank you so much, Lea!”
About: Hello!! I’ve had doggies and kitties since I was a kid! So I have experience with puppies to senior dogs :) Most recently I got a golden retriever puppy in November 2025 and she’s my whole world! I’m an ER Nurse so my schedule does rotate but on my days off Ophelia and I spend it walking around OB and sunset cliffs while fitting in playtime with toys and cuddles. So my schedule is somewhat flexible to help out! Just send me a request and if I’m free I’d love to help you:) I currently live in an apartment in a very walkable neighborhood! So even though I don’t have a yard I get outside frequently by either taking Ophelia on multiple walks and sometimes down to the beach to play! I am able to do anything you need that is safest for your pet! I’m available to have your pet in my home for daycare/overnights or if you prefer in your home as long as you don’t mind your pet playing with my Ophelia!

“Minhee and Minwoo are absolutely incredible! They watched my dog, Benny, and truly went above and beyond in every way. It was so clear that they treated him like one of their own. He even got special treats and so much individual attention. The best part of the experience was the communication; I received so many updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Benny was actually sad to leave them when I picked him up, which speaks volumes about the care they provide. I was beyond impressed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past 6 years and regularly watch dogs for friends, sometimes for up to two weeks at a time. I’m very comfortable having dogs in my home and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I live very close to both a dog beach and a park, so unless you prefer otherwise, I’m happy to take your dog along for walks, park trips, and beach time. I also have a large private fenced patio where dogs can safely hang out outside and come in and out throughout the day. My dog is extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. She’s easygoing, doesn’t play rough, and is used to having other dogs around. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying at a second home and have a great time while they’re here. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and your dog won’t be left home alone while staying with me. I already structure my day around walks, playtime, and time outside with my own dog, so having another pup around fits naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and potty schedule. I live in a private bungalow with no shared walls and a large, fully fenced private patio where the dogs can safely spend time outside throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home inside as well. My own dog is very sweet, easygoing, and friendly with other dogs, and she doesn’t play rough. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day.
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Micki and her family were great with Zulu! They sent me updates everyday and it was clear they gave him lots of love and attention! Will definitely have them watch him in the future.”
“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”
“Summer took great care of my pooch while I had to go out of town. He had a great time and Summer gave me regular updates. So relieved to have found Summer. Thank you!??”
