“Brandi was great! I felt my dogs were so well taken care of that I didn't worry one bit while I was gone. She posted pictures and sent updates throughout their stay. I would definitely have Freckles and Roxy stay with Brandi again in the future!”
“We loved using Lauren for our dog’s weekend stay! She provided daily updates and accommodated our dogs needs really well. Will definitely use her services again!”
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Crystal was excellent in every way. We loved all the pictures that she sent us. Riley clearly had a wonderful time and I am sure he is missing his dog friends! He came home happy and tired from all of the play.”
“My dog and her dog Lou got along great. When we did our meet and greet I could see how she was spot on with how they would get along. It was great getting videos and feed back throughout her stay. She knew exactly what I was worried about and knew to let me know how things were going. We have two more stays booked and feel at ease knowing that I don't have to worry.”
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
“Best experience ever! Michael and his wife took such great care of my big guy while we were away- they were kind, understanding...it felt like family taking care of him, which allowed me to have a worry-free trip! I could tell Michael exercised him and gave him all the love he needed, as he came home relaxed and so happy! I would recommend Michael and his wife to anyone and everyone looking for a loving family to take care of their very best friend! ”
“We love having our pup stay with Heather! He’s an elderly pup so seeing him get excited on the ride to her place is wonderful because he knows he's going to have a great time. He loves being there so much and we always know our quirky old dog is absolutely in excellent hands. As always, Heather provided an exceptional level of care and compassion throughout the entire duration of my pup's stay. My dog's physical and emotional well-being were clearly prioritized as he was taken for lots of leisurely walks and spent so much time being pet and cuddled. I know he thoroughly enjoyed his stay, as he returned home visibly content, relaxed and generally very happy.”
“Charmaine did a great job boarding our fur baby. She was very anxious about being away from home for a few nights. Charmaine even let her sleep with her and shared pics. Very sweet and caring.”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“Oh my goddess Sarah & her family were the best! Bassi was sooo well taken care of @ came home healthier than when I dropped her off! I will definitely use her again! My top choice! ?”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Bernadette watched and fed our little dog while we went to dinner for the night. She was very accommodating and communicative through the whole process. We would recommend her for dog-sitting, especially for small dogs.”
“Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!”
“Sheila was incredibly kind and flexible. Her home was a place filled with a lot of warmth and love! She was always super prompt when replying to me and sent me many photos of my dog while she was staying there. I will 100% book with Sheila again. Thank you!!!”
“Sunny returned a very happy boy after getting to run around a beautiful property with lots of new friends. David was kind, responsive and flexible! Would love to have Sunny visit again when we're in the area :)”
“Heather and her sweet dogs and doggie daycare pack made for a very good first time boarding experience for my 2 senior, kinda high maintenance, terrier mixes while I took a short business trip. They were well taken care of, including daily medications, and lots of playtime with the other dogs to keep them busy and they were in good spirits when I picked them up. I’m so grateful to have found Heather and hopefully she will have us back ?”

“We are super pleased with the cat sitting service that Hailey provided! She is professional and easy to communicate with. Our cat Luna is often very shy with strangers but she warmed right up to Hailey. We’ll be reaching out for another visit soon!”
“Alexandra was wonderful. She looked after my kitty for a few days while I was on vacation and he seemed very happy when I got back home! The house was kept clean and tidy, you would never know anyone was there.”
“This was our first time leaving town and leaving our kittens at home with our senior cat, and Stefanie made the whole experience so much easier for us. She was very patient with all of our instructions and communication, kept us updated with follow-ups, and most importantly, gave our cats lots of love and attention. We felt very reassured knowing they were in her care!!!”
“Marley was awesome, responsive with a very late last minute request and very kind to check on our kitties. She put our mind at ease and we were very grateful to have her. It’s so nice to find her and would absolutely use again!”

“Caitlin was great, and Honey had a fantastic time at daycare! She was easy to coordinate with, great at communication.

Our dogs got along great and they must have played all day since Honey was really tired the rest of the day.”

About: I have pet sit several dogs at a time and have experience with senior dogs. These senior dogs have needed both liquid and pill medication which I have familiarized myself with providing. I currently am working remote and can complete work from anywhere under a flexible schedule. If hired pet care would be my number one responsibility. I believe that animals deserve lots of love, care and attention. I would treat your animals the same way I would treat my own and make sure they are happy, healthy and well taken care of.
About: I'm extremely attentive to what the dog needs; whether it's rubs, water, or a bathroom break. By the end of the day, I'll be one of the dog's best buddies. I'm easy to get a hold of and can coordinate location, time, and availability. Both week days and weekends are great for me, just let me know! I'm a playmate but can also keep an eye on them if they want a little bit of space and freedom. I'll find the balance between safety and fun!
About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. Very first job was in a pet shop back in my teens. I have volunteered at the Humane Society the past 5 years socializing and walking dogs waiting for adoption. Both of my dogs and I have been a Pet therapy team with Creating Wellness visiting hospitals and senior living centers. I have a sweet King Charles spaniel yet have room to care for other dogs in my spacious Windsor Home. I have a fenced in yard and love to be outdoors so your dog will get many walks and park play time. My dog Jordy loves to go to the dog park and chase balls so if you want yours will get plenty of exercise:)

“Brandi was great! I felt my dogs were so well taken care of that I didn't worry one bit while I was gone. She posted pictures and sent updates throughout their stay. I would definitely have Freckles and Roxy stay with Brandi again in the future!”
“We loved using Lauren for our dog’s weekend stay! She provided daily updates and accommodated our dogs needs really well. Will definitely use her services again!”
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Crystal was excellent in every way. We loved all the pictures that she sent us. Riley clearly had a wonderful time and I am sure he is missing his dog friends! He came home happy and tired from all of the play.”
“My dog and her dog Lou got along great. When we did our meet and greet I could see how she was spot on with how they would get along. It was great getting videos and feed back throughout her stay. She knew exactly what I was worried about and knew to let me know how things were going. We have two more stays booked and feel at ease knowing that I don't have to worry.”
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“Oh my goddess Sarah & her family were the best! Bassi was sooo well taken care of @ came home healthier than when I dropped her off! I will definitely use her again! My top choice! ?”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Sheila was incredibly kind and flexible. Her home was a place filled with a lot of warmth and love! She was always super prompt when replying to me and sent me many photos of my dog while she was staying there. I will 100% book with Sheila again. Thank you!!!”
“Sunny returned a very happy boy after getting to run around a beautiful property with lots of new friends. David was kind, responsive and flexible! Would love to have Sunny visit again when we're in the area :)”
“I recently enjoyed entrusting my pup with Krissy; she met all my expectations. I cannot recommend her enough for her exceptional care, attentiveness, and playful nature. From the moment I met her, I felt confident that my dog would be in excellent hands. One of the standout qualities of this sitter was her attentiveness. She genuinely cared about my dog's well-being and made sure to provide the utmost care at all times. She was incredibly observant and paid close attention to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Communication played a vital role in my positive experience. She was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated regularly on my dog's activities, moods, and any notable changes. Whether through text messages, pictures, or videos, she made sure we felt connected to my dog even when I was away. This level of communication provided me with peace of mind and further reinforced my trust in her. She went above and beyond to understand his preferences, routines, and special requirements. She tailored her approach to accommodate his individual personality and made adjustments as needed. This level of adaptability truly sets her apart as an exceptional sitter. My experience with Krissy was nothing short of fantastic. If you're looking for a sitter who will go above and beyond to provide exceptional care for your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .”
“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Very happy with Jennifer looking after our dog. She took great photos of him and sent us updates of his stay. We just picked him up and he's one happy and very tired dog! We will definitely have her look after him again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs. I’m a freelance, work from home marketer, so I’m pretty much always at home and available to take care of dogs, or am able to come to you and take your pup out. We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“Marina took great car of our dog while we were in town on a vacation. She sent lots of photos, seemed to really care about our dog, and was easy to communicate with. Would book again if we were in town again!”
