“Amazing babysitter! They took care of our senior shih tzu and he was so well taken care of! They were very responsive throughout our whole trip and sent photos daily. Our dog was quite anxious as he is old but they went above and beyond to make sure he was relaxed and calm. Our baby was in great hands with them, we would definitely recommend them!”
“Julia kept our senior pug for nearly 2 weeks and took great care of her! She was quick to communicate, provided lots of updates and was flexible with us when we returned a day early from our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: Doggies with short snouts welcome here! 🐾 I love all kinds of pups; seniors, short snouts, & snugglers of all breeds 💕 [Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boston Terriers, King Charles Spaniels, & more!] My entire world was my Frenchie, Layla 'Sweet Potata', until she passed from old age. I deeply understand that your dog isn't just a pet—they are your absolute family, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else. Because of Layla, I speak fluent "snort and grunt" and understand the specific nuances that come with flatter-faced breeds. Your baby will receive the exact same vigilance, tenderness, and love that I gave my own girl. 🐾 What Sets My Home Apart: One Family at a Time: I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant companionship. To keep things calm and focused, I only host one dog (or two from the same household) at a time. They will never have to compete for a lap or love. I'm hyper-aware of the daily maintenance these special pups need. I’m fully equipped to handle tail pocket cleanliness, regular wrinkle wiping, and ear upkeep. You are welcome to bring your own preferred supplies, but I have plenty of resources here to keep them fresh, clean, and happy. Spine & Heat Safety: To prevent IVDD and protect their backs, my home features ramps and stairs for all couches and beds. Inside is kept cool with continuous A/C over smooth hardwood floors, and outside features a large, naturally grassy yard with a tall fence—and no neighbor dogs on either side for a stress-free potty time. Medications & Routines: I am completely comfortable administering oral medications and eye drops, and I closely monitor breathing and temperature limits. I work from home, so your dog will receive full-time attention, supervision, and care. My home has central A/C, a fenced grass backyard for them to enjoy San Diego weather, and tons of toys & beds to cuddle in. Your pup will always be welcome on the couch and my bed. Fun for a flat-faced pup is all about balancing engagement with safety, and my day is built around that rhythm. Your pup will leave happy, safe and well rested.
“Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Tiffany and Calvin were great! Super communicative and responsive, they sent lots of pictures of Nia during her stay there. Would definitely have Nia stay with them again :)”
“Nina was very responsive and caring for our dog over 3 days. We had never left her with anyone but a kennel a few times so it was important to have someone who we trusted. The place where she lives is dog friendly and she has grass out her back door.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”
“You did a fantastic job! Eden was always quick to get back to me. She adored my pups, and they adored her too. This was my first time using Rover, and honestly, I’m giving it a perfect score with Eden. I would absolutely recommend her and would definitely go back to her.”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“May and Marc are absolutely fabulous! Winston loved his stay, and the picture updates and messages made us feel 💯 assured he was in good care. Just booked several more stays for Winston to cover our summer travel! 🐶🤗🥰”
“Yukiko was fantastic with our little guy, so friendly, gentle, and professional right from the beginning. My mind was at ease knowing that he would be well taken care of as she helped him to get acclimated to her home and her cute little dogs. Yukiko's regular updates and photos were so helpful too!”
“Sandy is awesome took care both of my dogs while we were out of town until the next day, 100% totally recommended. We'll absolutely book again next time. Thank you very much Sandy,”
“Gelare and Sama are wonderful pet sitters! We could tell through all the pictures and videos that Gelare took very good care of our little pup. From playing catch to tummy rubs, we were sure our pup was getting all the love and attention we were hoping for! Would highly recommend!”
“Stacey and Christopher were super quick to respond when I requested a last minute one night boarding stay. They were warm and welcoming during drop off and my dog Lychee was immediately comfortable with them. I can tell that they have a lot of experience and genuine love for the fur babies that they care for! During the stay they sent plenty of updates and photos and I always felt like my dog was in great hands.”
“Thanks to Jason and family for caring for Molly. She loves staying with them and isn’t really that excited to see me🤪I appreciate having the ability to leave her worry free. And enjoy all the photos and videos Jason sends everyday.”
“AWESOME! They took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation! I loved the photos and video updates received! It was so nice to know that our dogs were having such a great time and being so well cared for! We will definitely book again!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Viktoriia! She is such a kind, thoughtful, conscientious and considerate care taker. She sent tons of photos while she was staying with our fur babies, and the house was in pristine condition when we arrived home. I would recommend her to ANYONE (and have done so, in fact). She is my best pet sitting and housesitting experience hands down.”

“Avery was amazing! I booked her for my newly adopted cat, and additionally it was my first time leaving her alone, and Avery's patience with her shyness and fear was truly amazing. She got her to open up and come out of her shell, which I didn't think would happen, and took care of her in exactly the way I asked. Truly couldn't have been a better experience. Highly recommend!”
“Catherine and Nicholas went above and beyond for our two cats. Our five year old cats had never been at a different place and they hate car rides probably because they associate them with going to the vet. Unfortunately, my kitties pooped in their carriers on the way to drop them off :(. I was mortified, but Catherine and Nicholas helped us take care of the mess; Catherine immediately gave the cats a bath/rinse and gave our kitties some treats and comforted to put them at ease. Throughout the stay, Catherine and Nicholas sent us pics and videos and plenty of updates on the cats. I can tell Nicholas and Catherine love animals and know what to do to keep them safe and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I couldn’t be happier with the way they handled everything. My husband calls them the cat whisperers. I would trust them again with my babies. ?”
About: I've been caring for cats for over a decade, including my own senior cat, Sam (he's 12!). I've volunteered at a cat shelter as well. I'm comfortable with special needs and senior cats, litter maintenance, and enrichment. I even trained my cat to high five! Your cat will be calm, cared for, and in experienced hands.
“We're very thankful for Jeanine! She's very pleasant to work with, and my shy kitty, MisChief, welcomed her immediately. Her report card and pictures were wonderful, and we came home to a very happy kitty. It's a comfort to know our cat will be loved on and taken care of when we're away. We will definitely be a repeat customer :)”

I’m comfortable caring for puppies and senior pets, reinforcing basic training, administering medications, and monitoring health and behavior. With a strong understanding of animal safety and wellness, I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm recent graduated student from the Mesa College in the Veterinary Technology program. I work part-time for my school where I tend to the resident animals ex: goats, raptors, rabbits, rats, and mice. I also work Part-time at Vetco Total Care as a Veterinary Assistant. At the moment, I am only looking to take clients for Dog-walking services. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I follow safe handling practices, maintain clean and secure spaces, and closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I respect each pet’s routine, ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and provide consistent, attentive care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and I have genuine love for animals. I must admit I have a favorite though, Great Danes have my heart. I promise your pets will be in gentle and capable hands. I am currently at home for the summer after finishing my freshman year at University. I wanted a flexible way to earn money and keep busy with furry friends. I am often in charge of caring for my family and friends’ animals, feeding, walking, and playing are all part of my daily routine. I look forward to extending my experience into caring for your beloved animals.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s cats, and have taken care of some friends dogs while they were away on vacation. I am friendly to both dogs and cats. Some skills I have are being on time to take care of them. I am a college student at CSUN, so I am home to take care of your pets during winter break or whenever I am free! I usually feed my dog and cats, I also have two chinchillas which I feed every night and clean up after in my house. In a clients house, if there are written instructions of how to care for your fur babies then I can follow those well. I am also hard of hearing but I can communicate well, and if I have any questions or concerns I will make sure to reach out!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience being around animals of all kinds and my genuine love for caring for them. From dogs and pigs to chickens and ducks, I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends in high school, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, overnight care, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means energetic playtime or relaxing cuddles on the couch. I currently work full time Monday to Friday, but I have the flexibility to leave should I need to do a drop by throughout the day. I currently provide care in my client’s home, where I make it a priority to not only care for your pets, but also respect and maintain your space. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, so I will always reach out with any questions or updates to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. My goal is to leave both your pets happy and your home just as clean as when I arrived.
About: I never thought I was a cat person until I finally got one of my own! Now I can’t get enough cat snuggles. I’ve had the honor of cat sitting, doing many drop in visits and getting to play with cats of all ages. I have experience with cats who have medical issues that need attention or treatments.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised and helped raise multiple dogs from puppyhood, with experience across all sizes and energy levels.

This flexibility enables me to provide dependable, attentive, and consistent care for your pets while accommodating scheduled visits as needed. At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.

About: I have taken care of pets of all ages since I was 12 and loved every minute of it! Neighbors, friends, and family members have all trusted me with their pets and in their homes for walks, play dates, and even house sitting/pet sitting for month long periods at a time. I have lots of experience with puppies, senior pets, and other pets that require around the clock medication or special attention. I make sure I’m punctual, organized, caring and fun loving for the good of you and your pet! I’d love to be the next friend for your furry family member :) I have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! My hours of availability are pretty flexible as I work remotely and am self employed. Within the client’s home I am very respectful of the client’s belongings and will make sure your fur baby and I can have lots of safe and fun playtime either outside in a yard, on a walk, or within the home.

Your doggie’s comfort and happiness will always be my top priority! 🐾 I work from home and sometimes hybrid, so my schedule is very flexible, so I’m happy to meet your pup whenever works best for you.

About: Doggies with short snouts welcome here! 🐾 I love all kinds of pups; seniors, short snouts, & snugglers of all breeds 💕 [Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boston Terriers, King Charles Spaniels, & more!] My entire world was my Frenchie, Layla 'Sweet Potata', until she passed from old age. I deeply understand that your dog isn't just a pet—they are your absolute family, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else.

You are welcome to bring your own preferred supplies, but I have plenty of resources here to keep them fresh, clean, and happy.

Inside is kept cool with continuous A/C over smooth hardwood floors, and outside features a large, naturally grassy yard with a tall fence—and no neighbor dogs on either side for a stress-free potty time.

“Our dogs love going to Sandy’s place! They always have a great time, and we never worry about a thing with her. Also, she’s super responsive, easy to work with, and sends updates with photos throughout the day.”
“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”
“Booked the night before and she answered right away amazing experience my pup seemed to have a great time got picture updates on how she was doing without even asking Awsome experience and very reasonable pricing”

“We entrusted our dog, Yuki, to Mayank through the Rover app, and we had an excellent experience. They took our dog on walks, ensured he got plenty of exercise, and played with him. Yuki was really happy during his stay. I highly recommend Mayank and his family for anyone looking for dog-sitting services.”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy with somebody outside of family. Marina was wonderful! She texted me plenty of updates, pictures and videos throughout the day which helped put me at ease. I can tell that she truly loves dogs and is great at caring for them! Thank you!”
“Hanna is great. My dog Zeus stayed with her several times now and each time he was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He tends to be skeptical of strangers and stressed out by daycare, but not with Hanna. He gets to play with her dog Bigsby, plays with toys, solves puzzles, goes for walks and eventually snuggles on the sofa when he is tired. Hanna deeply cares about a dog's needs.”
“Odie, Bubble and Pippa just had a half-day trial day with Annie and Ty and their two girls and everything went fantastic! Annie and Ty provided plenty of photos and feedback that everyone was having a good time. They also took all three pups on a much appreciated walk. I feel very lucky to have found a home away from home that all three of my dogs eill enjoy visiting. More stays to come!”
About: Retired portrait photographer with Experience handling small dog packs for nearly 30 years. Your dog is treated like family with affection and attention in my comfortable home with secure fenced yard. Since April 2022 I have hosted over 500 dogs, and have over 60 repeat clients. Occasionally will approve larger dogs if well trained, submissive to other dogs and non barker. Set up a meet and greet IF YOU HAVE RULED OUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALREADY. I am also a portrait photographer, and you may see the best photos ever taken of your dog during their stay. I send photos and videos of their activities daily. I will have other dogs here, frequently they make friends. I am here full time and supervise everything, nobody gets bullied. We spend a lot of time in the yard throwing balls encouraging activity. We are up for first potty at 5:30. Open door hours 8 am to 8 pm. I have quiet hours for my neighbors so they don’t complain. If your travel involves early departure, please request booking start for the day before. All first time clients come for a meeting before confirming a stay. Shots must be current. Boarding agreement required. I look forward to meeting you! I'm home full time, and used to waking around 5:30 am to let the dogs out. The dogs are let out to potty at least every other hour, fresh water is available all the time and changed every other hour. Breakfast is between 7 and 9 and dinner is around 4 pm. Bedtime preparations begin around 9 and they get settled for the night by 10 pm. Evening pickups are limited to 8:30 pm out of consideration to my neighbors. When a dog leaves, the others bark like crazy. I am trying to preserve my relationship with my neighbors and not get reported to my HOA... I have a fenced back yard with double fence to the gate, and my kitchen and family room is separated by gate from the rest of the house. I also have a smaller gated area at the patio door which helps control excited eating during feeding time by separating dogs. The dogs have supervised run of the kitchen and family room and backyard, and my cats do not come into the dog area (closed off by doors-kitchen/family room) they have the rest of the house. There is a pool in my backyard but few dogs care. . There is a grassy runway around the side and back of the yard to play chase and ball. The fence is reinforced with rabbit fencing to prevent escape. Gates are closed at all times. Dogs are fed spaced far enough apart to prevent resource guarding and speed eating in order to steal their neighbor's food. Fresh water is available in multiple locations at all times. In person meet and greet is requested to confirm a booking.
“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”
“Gris was amazing to us , she is very good at communicating and ease every fear you can have. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone else for a long period of time (8 ish hours lol ) and knowing that my dog is not the easiest pup I was very worried and stressed about the whole situation.Thankfully I found Gris , she was able to book us last minute, was very easy to communicate with, sent me pictures and answer my messages promptly. My dog loved spending the day at her house and playing with the other pups, he was exhausted from all the playing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her.”
“We left our dog Taro with Junko from morning to evening while we drove up to a Chargers game. Junko provided us with picture and text updates along with a note summary. Taro looked like she had fun and no issues!”
“Christine was such an excellent sitter for my puppy! This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous with leaving my baby with someone, but this all dissipated immediately when I started communicating with her and of course when my pup was in her care! She sent multiple awesome photos and videos throughout the stay, which made me feel soo comfortable and happy that my girl was having a great time with her and Mula. She is extremely communicative, from before I met her and throughout my pup's stay. From our conversations, I can tell she is very compassionate and cares deeply about the dog community! I will definitely continue to book at Mula's House and I highly recommend! Thank you again Christine!”

About: Hello and welcome to ADVENTURES WITH BEAN 🌄 My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the world with my dog/best friend, Stella Bean We are very friendly, active, and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs- I cared for a dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my blind dog, Tikka. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to great dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. When things slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.

I look out for body language signs of distress from the pets I take care of and act accordingly. If there are specific things the owner wants me to do, I make those a priority. I always stayed respectful to the owners' home, making sure to leave it the way I found it.
About: I am an animal lover that routinely volunteers with shelters and fostering agencies! I believe every pet deserves a home and will treat your pet like they are a member my home. I know having a pet is like having a child, and I strive to stay flexible and adapt to your pets needs!! I currently work full time and volunteer at shelters on select weekends! I am away from my family dog and would love to spend quality time with your pet as I miss my dog so much! Drop in visits are always fun for me as I know dogs are most comfortable at home. Let me know if you want me to let your pet into the yard and what exactly they like to do! I love knowing favorite toys and love taking dogs on walks
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and have loved animals. I got a dog of my own at 7 years old, my first dog when I was seven years old, but I began caring for other dogs five years ago. I've walked and cared for dogs of all ages and I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I'm working this summer, but I'll still have plenty of time to play with your pups! In terms of pet sitting, I am available for both routine visits and overnight stays (in your house). As long as it does not interfere with work, I am relatively flexible with walking times. Weekends are also fairly open for me! I'll treat your dog and home as if they were mine! When putting your dog out, I'll make sure the backyard gates are shut, the doors to your home are always locked, that your dog is getting more than enough walks and exercise, and that they're never thirsty or hungry!
About: I've been a dog and house sitter for many years and have developed a genuine passion for giving love and care to animals of all personalities and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how essential it is to have trust in those who look after your pets, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether its daily walks or just keeping them company, I am happy to help out in any way I can and provide a safe and comfortable environment for your animals. In June I will begin my summer job and will be available primarily on weekends and any weekday after 4pm. For the month of May, I am able to work everyday at whatever times I am needed. I always tailor my care to the needs of pets and their owners. I try my best to create a stress free environment and stay on top of daily feeding and exercise schedules. In a client's home, I make sure to give the pet(s) tons of attention and affection while also maintaining a tidy space while you're away. I also prioritize consistent communication and treat every pet as if they were my own!
About: I grew up with my mom rescuing dogs and cats found in our neighborhood. Most of them were failed fosters. I grew up with 5 cats and 6 dogs, with my cat living with me up until my senior year of college until she passed. I always look forward to going home to seeing all of our animals! From big to small- from our cats to our dogs. Each one of them has their own personalities and needs. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, bigger dogs, small dogs, epileptic dogs, and young cats, I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available most weekends, mornings, and evenings. I am unavailable Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. I value safety with every pet. As a previous pet owner, I always would want someone’s pet to feel comfortable and safe with me and be able to create a good trust and bond!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and my family always had service dogs/pets so also training and constantly dealing with dogs! :) I currently work as an RBT and am in my senior year at UCSD. I miss my pets, so this is my fix for now! :) Your safety and your pets safety is just as important as mine. Having communication about safety/rules is crucial to having a healthy and safe pet!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and I have genuine love for animals. I must admit I have a favorite though, Great Danes have my heart. I promise your pets will be in gentle and capable hands. I am currently at home for the summer after finishing my freshman year at University. I wanted a flexible way to earn money and keep busy with furry friends. I am often in charge of caring for my family and friends’ animals, feeding, walking, and playing are all part of my daily routine. I look forward to extending my experience into caring for your beloved animals.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, particularly dogs. I’ve had experience caring for dogs at a very young age, which included handling mom and pups at pregnancy, to seniors. Walking and bathing all sizes and ages. I’m now a mother to a Cockapoo mix who rules my world! He goes everywhere with me, shopping, long walks, relative’s, running events, even vacations. I am an active individual who will include your dog on these adventures as well. Being with me, I plan to get them tired by having fun. I’m currently working part time remotely, which gives me the ability to surround myself with my favorite friends. My availability is flexible and I am willing to care for your pups on weekends or holidays. One things for sure, I will give your dogs the same love and affection as if it were mine. Can’t wait to meet them(: I work remotely M-F, which allows me to have flexibility for your pup. My work hours are typically from 9am - 3:30pm, but I have breaks in between. I will be able to take your pup for constant potty breaks/walks and feedings. If you prefer, dog park and beach visits can be frequent. I am in a 1,100sqft apartment on the third floor. Our complex is extremely dog friendly and even has a small dog park with a washing station. I live with my fiance and our son Buddy. Buddy is always anxious and happy to meet new friends, but also understands the barrier of privacy. He is trained and should not be of any issue at all. It actually helps his anxiety to have a furry friend around sometimes. Our community has a nice long trail along Miramar reservoir, but we also have different routes throughout the neighborhood if you prefer. Our house hold is pretty quiet, with no kids. Dog YouTube can be an option for anxious pups. Staying active outside or napping inside, whatever your dog is feeling, we will do just that! (:

“Harper did so well on her outing! She's not around kids normally and with Cristen's care she was awesome. Harper adores Cristen and listens attentively to her. Dakota is always a great dog to everyone and both loved the hike and Cristen. They always feel safe with her.”

“Amazing babysitter! They took care of our senior shih tzu and he was so well taken care of! They were very responsive throughout our whole trip and sent photos daily.
