“Jax had another great stay with Vicky! She sent regular photos and updates and made me feel at ease leaving Jax for the 4th of July weekend. I highly recommend Vicky and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need care for Jax.”
“It can be so nerve racking leaving a working breed dog with anyone, but Jonathan is amazing. He sent lots of amazing pictures of their adventures and really put my mind at ease. He’s so calm and really seems to just love being around dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Mochi was completely at ease with Colin, and settled in immediately—none of his typical loss of appetite in the first day or two, so I guess he just felt right at home from the start! Colin was extremely accommodating with our schedule, and very chill. An obvious dog lover through and through. Highly recommend. We will book him whenever he’s available.”
“Ryan was great! He accommodated a last minute need when my sitter fell through and he was wonderful. Kept me updated and very responsive when I reached out. Finn came back to me happy as ever - will absolutely be booking Ryan again!”
“I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with Jennifer. She took such incredible care of Pip and treated her like her own. From the start, she was warm, attentive, incredibly accommodating and thoughtful about Pip’s specific needs. She was also so communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the weekend that made me feel completely at ease. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but Jennifer made the entire experience seamless and stress free. Pip was so comfortable and happy, which means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Nothing but good things to say about our first experience using Alexandra. She kept us updated with regular photos and videos throughout the boarding process. We could tell our dog was not only comfortable but also having a great time. Will definitely book again!”
“This is our second time with Ellie. She is wonderful, and very communicative! My dog clearly loved her, and got so excited to go back a second time. Highly recommend:)”
“Hailey took wonderful care of our 6-month-old puppy, Piper, while we were away for a week. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. It was clear that Piper was having a great time and getting plenty of attention and care. We came home to a happy puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d absolutely book with Hailey again for boarding or any other service. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful that we found Lucero. She gave wonderful care to our dog. It was clear from the updates and videos that he was loved, comfortable and well cared while we were away. We could tell that our dog was happy and felt at home with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving and caring dog sitter.”
“Shelley was awesome. She has a perfect house with a completely closed yard and takes just a small number of dogs. Rocky had a great time. Photos were awesome. Best of all she lives right across the street! Highly recommend.”
“Kimberley is the best!! She kept my kitty in a smaller space so that she can acclimate better to the new location and would slowly expose my kitty to other pets if there’s any. Kimberley is very responsible and communicative. Will definitely book with her again!!”
“Charli is amazing and I will continue to use her as my dog sitter! She loves my dog like she’s her own and that means the world to me! She is incredibly thorough and consistently sends updates with photos and pictures from the day.”
“Natalia is amazing! My dog Maki has stayed with her twice and she is my go to now. She sends so many updates and pays so much attention to details and instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone”
“I couldn’t have asked for more capable and loving sitters for my little baby! He was happy and well cared for and clean for a long extended stay. Will absolutely use again and have already booked for another stay”
“There are few people I feel comfortable enough to leave my pup Luca with, and Mai is at the top of the list. It is more than clear how much she cares for him and how safe he feels with her. He has now stayed with Mai 3x and she is now my go-to person for all future trips. Mai is extremely responsive, and treats Luca as her own when he’s with her. Mai is a trustworthy, responsible, kind person that I’m so grateful to have found. Thank you Mai!”
“Loki has had an absolute blast with Fran and Elliot. They’ve been spoiling him rotten. They’re always communicative and send frequent updates. I will book with them again in the future!”
“We boarded our dog with Jinyen and her family for two weeks and were extremely happy with her communication and updates during our trip. Our dog came back happy and healthy 😄”
“Jill took amazing care of my pup over a long weekend. She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with her. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! Look forward to using her again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Lucinda was exceptional! She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is definitely a fur baby lover who has a substantial amount of experience with all types of dogs! I felt at ease while I was on my vacation due to her sending multiple pictures and updates on the regular. She also has a fenced in yard where all the dogs can play and have an amazing time! I would definitely use her again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Santa Monica
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life, including rescues and shy kitties. I grew up with two stray kittens, one I bottle-fed and the other I found as a child. I also cat-sat for neighbors from middle school through high school. In college, I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat, and with lots of love and patience, he eventually came out of his shell. I ended up adopting him and he now sleeps in my bed, follows me everywhere, and is happy and affectionate. I’m experienced with feeding, play, litter care, and reading cat body language and boundaries, ensuring every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful. She is a fantastic walker and sitter who is punctual, communicative, and puts the dog's well-being first. When my dog was feeling anxious and refusing walks during the visits, Sophia handled it beautifully—she adapted very well, sat down to comfort my dog, and communicated with me. She made sure my dog was well-fed and cared for. Will be booking her again in the future!”
“Samanta is the absolute best, and I cannot say enough good things about her. We have booked with her several times, most recently for a two-week trip out of the country. She treats our cats as if they were her own and goes above and beyond every single time. During our last trip, I accidentally didn’t leave enough cat food for the duration of our stay away. Without hesitation, Samanta made a special trip to the pet store to buy the exact food our cats eat and made sure they were completely taken care of. Knowing they were in such caring and capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.”
“Birutė was great with our cat! She sent copious cute pictures and made sure he was well-cared-for while we were gone on a trip. She is communicative, responsible, and caring.”
“Jessica was available last minute and did an amazing job with my cat Hobbes. While she stayed with him overnight she made sure to send photos and multiple updates through out the visit and eased my mind of leaving him home. Highly recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Alyssa was a lifesaver! We had a last minute request to check in our two cats when our housesitter ghosted us for a quick weekend away. Alyssa showed up on time and did as asked. Would definitely have her sit for us again if needed!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting and have taken care of dogs across all breeds and sizes. I communicate very well with my clients and send frequent check ins to ensure they feel comfortable while they’re away. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I have time throughout the day to spend time with your pets and keep them busy. I am very patient and great at understanding pets needs. I would ensure they are comfortable with me in their space and send my clients frequent check ins throughout the day.
“We hired Heather for drop-in visits when a last-minute trip came up, and after our experience, I highly recommend her. Heather came right over for a meet-and-greet, and it took only seconds for her and Oliver to become best friends. In fact, when we came home from our trip, he told us that he wants to live with Mrs. Heather now. While we were gone, she provided Oliver with food (which has medications involved), cleaned his litter, played with him, brushed him, fed him treats, gave him love, and even cleaned up. Major Kudos: Oliver requires this transdermal medication applied within his ear. This is something that's difficult even for me to apply, so I sort of accepted it'd be impossible for anyone else. And yet, Heather was able to apply it—all four times. Oh, and all of the pictures she sent were like... professional. My cat looked like a model. So I mean, really, does it get better than that? Heather is a wonderful sitter, and unless Oliver chooses to move in with her, we'll be hiring her again.”
“Anne-Elisabeth was super responsive and great with our two kitties! Kept us updated the whole time and made sure we knew that their litter box was clean, they’d been fed and water was full. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I understand and respect the animals and I’m a trained dog trainer from all the training lessons I took when my dog was a puppy. And my dog who recently passed away was a very well behaved sweet girl even though she was a diva when I just got her. I’m not ready for another dog anytime soon but at the same time I still want to have the chance to take care of dogs and cats and I’m pretty good at it :) I work from home and for myself so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I have plenty of free time which I wish I could use them on playing with your dog. Let me know what’s your dogs’s favorite game and I can also bring some toys for us to play. I can respect their boundary while give them all the attention they need
“Amy is a fantastic cat sitter. Our normally shy kitty loved Amy right away. Amy sent lots of adorable photos with updates, and was super flexible and responsive when our trip dates were changed last minute. We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Randi is trusting, caring, detail-oriented, and an overall joy! She took her job seriously and sent me updates and pictures every time she visited my fur-baby! This was my first time using the app and I will rebook Randi in an instant!”
“Jonathan was great with the dogs and so, so helpful. He took both my dogs for a walk (even though the drop-in was just for one), and bathed Fennec like a pro. It was the dog’s first time getting blow-dried, and he didn’t care for that part. It took both Jonathan and me to hold him and was no easy feat! Friendly, knowledgeable, great with dogs.”
“Round 3 with Michelle and we’re still in love. After our cat Oliver had his seizures and put on a rigorous medication schedule, I thought we’d never travel again. But finding Michelle changed that. She’s been there for us for each trip and we are forever grateful. Thank you, Michelle!”
About: I specialize in caring for cats and creating a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or independent, and I take the time to build trust at their pace.

I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to adjust to your cat’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every home and pet with the utmost care and respect. I follow all instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines your cat is used to. I’m very attentive to details and make sure your cat feels safe, calm, and comfortable in their own environment. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Kellee was great! She accommodated my last minute booking including a meet and greet. She took the time to get to know my kitties and the medication routine. She was communicative and clearly took the time to truly care for my senior cat. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Jonathan was a lifesaver for us! He watched our dog, Bailey, on very short notice and took incredible care of her. Bailey usually gets very anxious when we’re away, but she was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. She loved the walks and having other pups to play with. It’s such a relief to find someone Bailey feels comfortable with. We highly recommend Jonathan for your pups!”
“Christelle welcomed my fur babies into her home & took excellent care of my four kitties while I had new flooring installed. Thank you Christelle for your warmth, & wonderful hospitality. 🥰😻😻😻😻🐾”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have a 100-pound Golden Retriever named Kevin. Caring for a large, active dog has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable away from home. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, beach adventures, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine with my own Golden Retriever, Kevin. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every dog gets the care, exercise, and love they need to feel comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in good hands.
“Jana and Samuel were amazing with my dog Frida! It was wonderful that they left the back door open so she could run in and out, and she loved playing with their kids! Great family and environment :)”
About: I've had 3 amazing dogs in my life and love to figure out their personalities and likes. I'll treat your pup(s) as if they were my own I have 3 days off a week and can step in to help in a pinch! My other job is in costumer service and my communication skills are great. Let me help you and your pup I love my neighborhood and I am on a first name basis with every dog (and some owners). I can care for your pet at your home and do drop-ins and visits. I have a car and we can add pick up and drop off if needed!
“Elliot was super sweet with my dog Cookie, and was able to watch her on short notice which was very appreciated. Cookie even looked a little sad when we had to say goodbye to Elliot, so she must have loved her time with him!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maddie is truly the BEST dog sitter I could have ever found for Wylie. She is so attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about him like he’s her own. I get tons of picture updates throughout the day (which I absolutely love), and she always keeps me in the loop on how he’s doing. Wylie comes home happily exhausted every single time — which tells me he’s getting so much love, playtime, and attention while he’s with her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, loving, and goes above and beyond, Maddie is 100% your girl. Wylie and I are so lucky to have found her!”
“Dan is fantastic! He is a great communicator and was flexible with changes in pick up times. Dimey had so much fun on all their adventures going to the beach, hiking, and dog park together. He has a great space for the dogs to play outside too. Dimey and I both give him a 10/10”
“Tory was wonderful with our golden. She was loving, kind, played with her and patient as she does have anxiety. We have already booked additional stays with her and highly recommend her to others.”
About: I have experience in taking care of dogs for about 10 years. I just love spending time with them, play and taking care for them. I’m available most of the week for dog sitting and boarding. I’ll make sure your pets are loved and well taken care of. I spend most of my time at home. I wake up at 6 am every day, I do beach walks 3-4 times a week. I do dog walks in my area there is lots of green grass and places for nice a walk. I have a very big patio with grass and lots of sunshine at my place. Live a few blocks from the beach and dog parks.
“Heather is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She frequently left detailed updates providing my dog with loving attention, care, and kindness that left me with a real peace of mind throughout the whole entire day. This was my first time using this service and she did such an outstanding job that left me completely satisfied. 10/10”
“Sherry (& Jamie pitched in too!) are a very loving and caring for my little Tubby. They fed him, walked him, gave me a detailed report card of how he did during his daycare stay, and showed lots of love and affection towards my precious pup. Sherry also gave me walking tips when I shared with her an issue I was having with my pup. They are both lovely, caring caretakers and I highly, highly recommend them. Their location makes for a lovely outdoor, very dog-friendly neighborhood outings for doggy daycare as well.”
“Janna made Doug feel right at home. We got frequent updates about Doug, he had time outside to enjoy and smell the flowers. We highly recommend Janna and looking forward to when she is Doug’s sitter again.”
“Charli did such a great job caring for my dog, Hazel. I felt confident that Hazel got plenty of exercise, care, and attention while she stayed with Charli. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and love working with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I grew up with three dogs—two rescues (including a foster we ended up keeping) and one puppy—and regularly handled their care, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ve also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, so I’m very comfortable stepping into different routines and making pets feel at ease. I’m especially experienced with cats. I raised two stray kittens growing up—one I helped bottle-feed—and in college I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat. With patience and consistency, he became incredibly affectionate and is now my own cat who sleeps next to me every night. I pay close attention to body language and always respect each pet’s boundaries, whether they’re energetic, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsive, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m currently a part-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I’m not available for overnight stays, I’m very flexible during the day and can accommodate multiple visits if needed. I’m also very responsive and happy to help with last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always respect their boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure at all times during walks and visits. I treat every home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: Welcome, I’ve cared for dogs of various ages, breeds, and sizes and am an animal lover! I am great for anxiously attached pets or pets who need a lot of human time. I am very experienced with dogs who are easily triggered or like to pull on the leash and can handle any dog up to 70lbs. I have a knack for handling anxious dogs and I think it has to do with my dog-voice and mellow demeanor :) Please feel free to reach out with questions and see my policies and other details below. 🐕 Meet & Greets: For any recurring services (daily walks for a week or month), I request a meet and greet ahead of time - 30 minutes max, free of charge. 🐩 Care Instructions: I request full care instructions (feeding, triggers/quirks, need to knows) at least 1 hour prior to service start so that I have time to ask questions and ensure proper care for your pet. 🐾 Availability: I am available generally all weekdays, weekends are TBD, please reach out with any questions! I am currently working part-time, with plenty of time for pet services and I am hoping to make it a full time gig because I love animals (especially dogs). I am also highly active and consider the best days to be spent mainly outdoors, so I am happy to be your pet's walk buddy! I care for pets like they are treasured family members - that means every instruction followed per parents, and no risky behavior! If they are anxious with other humans and dogs, we stay aware and away. If they are table surfers, we don’t keep food in tempting places. I only give pre-approved food and treats that have been left by you and I try and keep the daily routines so they are not too overwhelmed being without their family.
“Jill is an exceptional dog walker! She took such amazing care for my dog. He is normally shy and reserved when it comes to strangers as he is a rescue, but by the second day he was jumping up in excitement to see Jill. She was so kind to bring him several toys, treats and a blanket. She was meticulous in summarizing walks with my dog and always on time. Also she was extremely responsive. I trust Jill enormously with my fur baby and will use her again!”
“Great walk with Collin. He picked up our dog from our place and took him on a great scenic walk. Thanks so much for making it easy for us. On time, quick communicator, and Rory loves him!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a kid. As much as I’d love to have a dog of my own, my work travel makes it difficult, so I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with them. I’ll treat your pup like family, making sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. Whether it’s a fun walk around the neighborhood, plenty of attention, or a little extra playtime, my goal is to make their day as enjoyable as possible while giving you peace of mind. I’m currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. For the next 6-12 weeks I will be available at any time throughout the day. I have a condo near a beautiful park for walks! I also have a beautiful balcony for your pup to relax if they want fresh air!
“Amy was quick to respond, detail oriented, punctual and caring for todays walk. She was so gracious about me booking a service last minute and very understanding. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Best ever dog walker. Birute was the most caring, attentive, punctual and professional pet caregiver we've ever had for our dog. My dog liked her right away and quickly built a great rapport with Birute. Birute is honest & trustworthy. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My last pet, my soul dog Bella, lived to be 18. We traveled the country together and I got the privilege of being her mommy from 8 weeks old to a little over 18. She has changed my life in so many ways and inspired me to help all other animals in need. I’m extremely caring, attentive and loving. I will treat your pet as if it is my own. However, I’m a bit of a spoiler when it comes to animals but I will lead in anyway that you would expect of me. I look forward to connecting with you and more importantly, your fur babies. I’m currently working 4 days a week as an Esthetician but I will always find time for my babies. My favorite time of day is when I get to be at home snuggling my pup and kitty. I always keep a close eye on my pets and keep anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I always pick up on their anxiousness or when they are not feeling well, and will go completely out of my way to make sure they’re ok!
“Arzu took great care of Manchego, making sure he had enough play time and was properly fed. Arzu was also very responsive and friendly throughout our communication. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Megan graciously accepted my very last-minute request to walk our dog. She was very responsive and even cleaned up after my dog. I would definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommended!”
“Keitel was incredible! Upon his return, his first words were, “I love your dog!” He said it was such a pleasure to walk Opal. Keitel arrived early, brought her back on time, and took her to 2 parks. He was eager and attentive and listened to my descriptions of her typical actions. I can’t wait for Opal to go on more walks and bond more with Keitel. Hire him!”
“The best on here and treats my pup like hers and like family. Can’t say enough positive things about Kellie. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for someone you can really trust with your furry friend”

“It can be so nerve racking leaving a working breed dog with anyone, but Jonathan is amazing. He sent lots of amazing pictures of their adventures and really put my mind at ease. He’s so calm and really seems to just love being around dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Mochi was completely at ease with Colin, and settled in immediately—none of his typical loss of appetite in the first day or two, so I guess he just felt right at home from the start! Colin was extremely accommodating with our schedule, and very chill. An obvious dog lover through and through. Highly recommend. We will book him whenever he’s available.”
“Ryan was great! He accommodated a last minute need when my sitter fell through and he was wonderful. Kept me updated and very responsive when I reached out. Finn came back to me happy as ever - will absolutely be booking Ryan again!”
“I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with Jennifer. She took such incredible care of Pip and treated her like her own. From the start, she was warm, attentive, incredibly accommodating and thoughtful about Pip’s specific needs. She was also so communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the weekend that made me feel completely at ease. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but Jennifer made the entire experience seamless and stress free. Pip was so comfortable and happy, which means everything to me! I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Hailey took wonderful care of our 6-month-old puppy, Piper, while we were away for a week. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. It was clear that Piper was having a great time and getting plenty of attention and care. We came home to a happy puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d absolutely book with Hailey again for boarding or any other service. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful that we found Lucero. She gave wonderful care to our dog. It was clear from the updates and videos that he was loved, comfortable and well cared while we were away.

“Lucinda was exceptional! She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is definitely a fur baby lover who has a substantial amount of experience with all types of dogs! I felt at ease while I was on my vacation due to her sending multiple pictures and updates on the regular. She also has a fenced in yard where all the dogs can play and have an amazing time! I would definitely use her again!”
About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide personalized care that matches what they're used to at home. I believe consistency, patience, and positive interactions help dogs feel secure and happy. I'm attentive to the little details, from making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh water to sending regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is having a great time. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. I recently moved back to Los Angeles, and I'm excited to spend this chapter doing something I truly enjoy, caring for dogs and helping give pet owners peace of mind. Because this is my primary commitment, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays, including weekdays, weekends, and many holidays. I have the flexibility to stick to your dog's usual routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, or extra cuddle time. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I live in a townhouse with a securely fenced yard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I know every pet is different, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs and your preferences. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quieter routine with lots of affection, I'm happy to accommodate their usual schedule. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), crate routines, and any special care to help your pet feel comfortable and maintain consistency.
“Alejandro was great—very communicative and our pup clearly loved him! He even got our dog to eat, which is rare for his first time staying with someone. Will happily book with Alejandro again!”
“Our Monk took a shine to Miri and Phillip right away, and we felt assured they would take good care of our pup. They were patient and kind with Monk, and kept him busy with visits to the beach, and we got the feeling that they gave him lots of love while we were gone. We think Monk sees them as part of the family now! Miri kept us in the loop with pictures and video, and our puppy was happy when we got him back. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Monk stay with her again.”
“Charlie had a great time at Jamie’s! He came back to us after 5 days happy and exhausted from a week of playing and new friends. Jamie was responsive and provided updates, photos, and videos. She is a pro. Will board Charlie with her again!”
“Mia was amazing with Dotty! We got so many updates and Dotty seemed so calm and happy. I loved how confident Mia was with our big sometimes complicated dog. We look forward to Dotty to staying with Mia again!”
“First time asking Tory to watch my Birdie girl and definitely not the last! She was friendly, responsive and sent me a few updates (per my request) during my trip. She asked all the right questions and even let Birdie sleep in bed with her 😊. Beyond happy with our experience!”
“Greg was awesome! We went out of the country for two weeks and were very nervous about leaving our baby Athena and Greg took the BEST care of her! He sent updates and pictures and spoiled our pup. Athena loved Greg and I would recommend him to everyone. We will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Nicole and Sean were once again so amazing with Baby! They sent lots of pictures throughout the day and kept me posted on all her activities and snuggle time. So appreciate how communicative they are!”
