“This is the second time yami has stayed with Joyce. Joyce provided frequent updates about how yami was doing and her family showed yami a lot of care and attention.”

“My dog had a fantastic time! He played with other dogs and was in a great mood when I picked him up. I also really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it was so reassuring and thoughtful.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and dedicated dog sitter than Qi. From the very beginning, she demonstrated genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism in looking after our beloved dog, Bear. It was immediately clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Qi went above and beyond to ensure Bear was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm nature truly set her apart. When we returned, Bear was relaxed, content, and clearly had formed a bond with her—a true testament to the exceptional level of care she provides. We are incredibly grateful for Qi and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional in pet care. Thank you so much, Qi! We are hoping to book with you again soon, I know Bear can’t wait to see you again!”

“Great visit! Norelvis was always responsive, kept us updated with photos and comments about how Caesar was doing throughout his stay. Nice, large space for the dogs to hang out and play. Caesar definitely had a relaxing time”

“Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !”

“Anusha took care of our 1 year old puppy when we were in vacation. She kept us informed everyday with lot of pictures. Zoey came home very calm and relaxed as she got enough play time with the whole family and lot of love. She also got a goody bag 😃. Thanks a lot Anusha.”

“Nancy was willing to watch my dog Ollie for a weekend when my work schedule changed last minute. My puppy is super energetic and she has a great walled-in yard for him to run around. She could tell I was super anxious about leaving him for the first time and sent me updates and a bunch of pictures :)”

“Juliana was amazing. My dog, Pumpkin, is a senior pup who can be very sad when I leave her at boarding. She walked right into Juliana's and gelt comfortable - this was a positive sign. Juliana sent updates and pictures while we were gone. There a cold snap during Pumpkin's time, and Juliana had her in a sweater, let her sit curled up in a blanket on the couch, and I could see how relaxed Pumpkin was. The next time I leave town, I know who I will be entrusting to cate for Pumpkin. Thank you again Juliana!”

“Miss Kimberly was awesome. Took great care of my little dude, sent pics of him nightly, and was very accommodating to my drop off/pick up needs. Will absolutely choose her again.”


About: Experienced dog owner and sitter. Studied dog psychology to become a good dog parent. Had two female spaniels who passed earlier this year. We used to compete in dog frisbee and hunt. Also have experience working in a grooming salon, as well as walking and boarding various size dogs - from labs and German shepherds to Jack Russel terriers and mini Aussies. Additionally at no cost I can provide basic behavioural training and teach new tricks - I love to communicate with dogs of any breed and move in one rhythm with them. And I really feel their needs and able to connect with dogs of all ages. I can board puppies and older dogs, take them for a walk someplace new and play ball or frisbee. But safety and well-being is my main focus and if your dog doesn't want too much activity, I can provide a more mellow experience, too. Available on weekdays and weekends but please make appointments at least 2 days in advance. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm working remotely from home part-time, so have lots of time to spend with doggies. I'm available both weekends and weekdays and rarely leave home for more than a couple hours, so your dog won't be alone for too long. I have a fenced backyard and deck, and two mellow spaniels to keep your doggo company. I also have a crate where your pet can rest if needed.
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”

“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“Jennifer is just great. Professional, conscientious, responsive and best of all, my dog was happy and waggy and completely non-stressed when I picked him up. Highly recommend Jennifer!”

“This was a great spot for my nervous little pup. Jack takes a while to warm up in new environments but he got along well with Michael, Patty, and their two sweet pups. They clearly love dogs and are very patient and sweet with them. I hope Jack can come visit again soon!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Megha and his family! They are extremely responsive and communicative, and they clearly love dogs. We received tons of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease the whole time. They were very thorough, took our dog on plenty of walks, and gave her lots of attention. Truly a wonderful family of dog lovers. Don’t look any further, we’ll definitely book with them every time again!”

“Jesse took great care of our pups while we were on vacation, he was willing to make last minute accommodations when our travel plans changed slightly. He sent pics/videos while we were gone and communicated concerns when one of our dogs wasn’t eating all of his food after being dropped off. We will most definitely be booking with Jesse again in the future!”

“Mochi had a great weekend stay. She was well entertained by the family and got along well with their dog Eberly. Home with enclosed yard is spacious and safe. We will definitely board again.”

“Jenni was a great sitter. She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and sent lots of communication each day with photos. I’d be happy to have Jenni take care of my pets in the future!”

“Kendra, our sitter, was maximally sweet! The setting was a bit rough. Our kitty lived upstairs in a private room without furniture but well heated. So make sure you bring bedding your kitty will be comfortable with. Also, the household has a large friendly dog that likes to bark at strangers. Our kitty wouldn't be comfortable hanging around with him. But if your cat likes dawgs, this is the place for them! Doggie lives downstairs; kitty was upstairs. Never the twain would meet! Overall, definitely recommended. The pricing is affordable, the setting comfortable, and we know the sitter gave our kitty all the attention she wanted.”

“We couldn't be happier with the amazing job that Luna did! Luna checked in with us daily, and helped keep our cats calm. When we arrived home the litter boxes were clean and the cats were happy. Luna was very thorough and reliable. It was nice to feel at ease while we were away knowing that our fur babies were being well cared for. We will certainly be hiring Luna again.”

Communication is my top priority, so if there's an issue, I'll communicate my concern as soon as it presents itself.
“Lara is always wonderful. This was our longest trip so far, and everything went smoothly--especially given that we abandoned her to a heat wave we hadn't anticipated. Not a single complaint! The cats were totally relaxed when we got home, the house was spotless. Lara updated us daily with photos and comments, and I didn't have a single worry the whole time we were gone. <3”

“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life and currently have a little Shichon named Ruby. We have a smoke free home with a fenced yard and doggie door. We take our pup out for daily walks. I'm home full time unless I'm working in Canada in the healthcare field and so would need to work around that. I usually work 2-3 weeks every 2 months. We have a fenced yard and lots of trails around for nice long walks. We also go to the beach at least twice a week.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for two dogs, including one who lived to the remarkable age of 22. My current dog is 15 years old and still acts like a puppy, giving me valuable experience caring for both senior dogs and energetic companions. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their regular routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in good hands. I am currently a part time surf instructor. My schedule varies week to week depending on how many lessons are booked. That means I will have lots of time to hang out and take care of your dogs! I live in a nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard that is fenced in with a mix of astroturf and small rocks. I also have a shed in the back where the dogs can hang out when it is either raining or when it is super hot outside. It is a perfect hangout spot for your dogs to enjoy!
“My pup, Maggie, had the time of her life at Marina’s house! She played and ran endlessly with Marina’s dogs, Luna and Onyx. I know both of these things because Marina sent me photos and video of Maggie throughout her day there. We can’t wait for Maggie to go back, thank you Marina!”

“Libby was a kind, compassionate, and diligent caregiver to my dog! Easy to work with, easy to communicate with, I felt she listened to me when explaining my dog's needs which made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. I would definitely ask Libby to watch my pup again anytime and am glad to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. My dog was relaxed, happy, and not at all anxious when I picked him up.”

“Natalia is reliable, responsive and a great host. She is extremely flexible, loving and kind. My pup Sam had a wonderful time. She made him feel right at home and took great care of him. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Natalia and Chester!”

“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”

About: I have taken care of my dog Sami ever since we brought him home from the shelter four years ago. Throughout high school I would feed him, take him for regular walks, and bathe him when needed. Now as a college student, this responsibility continues whenever I am home for breaks. I have also cat sit multiple times for my family friends when they would go out of town. I would come over daily to their house, feed and play with the cats, and change the litter box. Right now I am a student at Cal Poly, and work a part-time in retail. Pet sitting works especially well currently during the summer as I am home and not planning on traveling much. Taking my dog Sami on daily walks is already a part of my routine, and further pet care would fit well into my schedule. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog Sami! I am always gentle and loving towards any animal, and genuinely love caring for them!

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I bring professional, reliable, and compassionate care to your pets. From administering medications and subcutaneous fluids to handling strong dogs on walks, I make sure your companions are safe, comfortable, and loved. At home, I care for two special-needs rescue cats, Angel and Squirrel, both three-legged “tripawds,” who keep me grounded in love every day. Animals have been my companions and teachers since childhood, and I love bringing that attentiveness into every sit. When I care for your pets, you can expect daily updates, consistent communication, and the peace of mind that they’re in loving, capable hands. I set my own schedule so I can fit in dog walks and drop-ins. Plan the day and service in hour-long slots and certain breaks. I live in a home with two cats, and a yard, shared with two friendly dogs, another cat and chickens, so boarding of a dog who is cat friendly, and friendly with other dogs and animals is possible.
“I'm incredibly grateful for Luna's exceptional care of our beloved pooch while we were away for the day. From the moment they met, it was evident that Luna and our dog formed an instant bond. Their time together seemed nothing short of delightful, and I was thoroughly impressed by Luna's professionalism and evident passion for animals. Meeting her was a pleasure, and I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to enlist her services again in the future.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and dedicated dog sitter than Qi. From the very beginning, she demonstrated genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism in looking after our beloved dog, Bear. It was immediately clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Qi went above and beyond to ensure Bear was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm nature truly set her apart. When we returned, Bear was relaxed, content, and clearly had formed a bond with her—a true testament to the exceptional level of care she provides. We are incredibly grateful for Qi and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional in pet care. Thank you so much, Qi! We are hoping to book with you again soon, I know Bear can’t wait to see you again!”

“Great visit! Norelvis was always responsive, kept us updated with photos and comments about how Caesar was doing throughout his stay. Nice, large space for the dogs to hang out and play. Caesar definitely had a relaxing time”

“Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !”

“Anusha took care of our 1 year old puppy when we were in vacation. She kept us informed everyday with lot of pictures. Zoey came home very calm and relaxed as she got enough play time with the whole family and lot of love. She also got a goody bag 😃. Thanks a lot Anusha.”

“Juliana was amazing. My dog, Pumpkin, is a senior pup who can be very sad when I leave her at boarding. She walked right into Juliana's and gelt comfortable - this was a positive sign. Juliana sent updates and pictures while we were gone. There a cold snap during Pumpkin's time, and Juliana had her in a sweater, let her sit curled up in a blanket on the couch, and I could see how relaxed Pumpkin was. The next time I leave town, I know who I will be entrusting to cate for Pumpkin. Thank you again Juliana!”

“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”

“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“Jesse took great care of our pups while we were on vacation, he was willing to make last minute accommodations when our travel plans changed slightly. He sent pics/videos while we were gone and communicated concerns when one of our dogs wasn’t eating all of his food after being dropped off. We will most definitely be booking with Jesse again in the future!”

“Svetlana did an amazing job taking care of my dog. It is a senior dog and it has been his first experience of being left with a dog-sitter. Svetlana was able to make him feel secure and taken care of like at home. She did a lot of extra for him like walking him a lot during his stay to feel him less anxious. I would definitely recommend Svetlana as a really trustworthy and caring dog-sitter.”

“Bianca was super flexible and patience with my dogs. We had two dogs that don’t get along well with one another and she graciously was willing to host both dogs. The dogs came back happy and slept as soon as they came home! My dogs have never been officially dog sat before so she made us feel comfortable and at ease while she was dog sitting. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Shannon! It was our dog’s first time staying with someone other than family and we were very nervous about leaving our dog Luna in someone’s care especially for a week but Shannon was absolutely wonderful. She did an amazing job at keeping us updated and sending us pictures regularly. We were especially grateful that she was willing to accommodate our dog’s needs by being the only dog in the house since Luna isn’t always the best around other pets. Shannon and her husband gave so much love and attention to our dog and we are really excited that we have found someone that we trust and feel very comfortable leaving Luna in their care in the future.”

“Willow who is usually reactive and scared fell into a calm routine with Yajaira and her dog Luna which is so reassuring. We appreciate the dog walk photos too. Thanks Yajaira!”

“Sabrina was great - Waffles came back happy and healthy. Regular picture updates and texts about how he was doing were great also! I would absolutely book Sabrina again.”

“We have left our dog to stay with Diane several times and we've had an amazing experience each time! She has a huge backyard that our dog loves exploring and playing in. Diane sends us an update each day with some pictures she snapped of our boy having a fun time. We feel so safe and secure leaving our boy with Diane, she's always our first pick if we need to go out of town!”

“Olive had a blast with Carole & Terry, once again! At drop off, she ran right up to them, excited for her second stay. She was incredibly well cared for, she was loved, and treated like family. We’re so grateful for their incredible care. ❤️”


“Matthew was great with Boba, and he really enjoyed the time spent with a full front and back yard. Matthew definitely was a godsend when I needed to find a sitter quickly!”
