“If we can recommend anybody to watch over your pup we recommend Berenisse! We left our fur baby for 3 nights 4 days with Berenisse and during that time, Berenisse was in contact with us, showing us videos and pictures of our pup and keeping us up to date with our puppy’s activities. While on vacation, Berenisse made our trip worry free and gave us that peace of mind that our puppy was in great hands. Berenisse is very knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you Berenisse for everything. We will be coming back for sure 👍🏽”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I feel a very deep and natural connection with them. I have a soft spot for pets who need extra love and patience, including blind dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, understood, and at peace. I also offer gentle Reiki for animals if they need extra calm, balance, or emotional support. Because I work online, I can spend the whole day with your pet—keeping them company, giving them lots of love, and making sure they always feel safe and cared for. I truly love what I do and treat every animal as if they were my own, with kindness, calm energy, and lots of affection. I work online, which allows me to spend the whole day caring for your pet. Your furry friend will have constant companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure their space is comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I supervise pets at all times, provide gentle guidance, and respect their individual needs and personalities. Your furry friend will always feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“Brittany is amazing! She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and needs to watch our pup the night of our wedding. Brittany is a true dog lover with immense compassion and can tell where your dog's comfort zone is, and if/when they're comfortable being eased out of it into something new. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone in a heartbeat--your fur-baby is in excellent hands!”
“I had a last minute change to my Thanksgiving plans to go out of town, and thankfully Ashley was available to host Rowdy. He was a happy pup when I picked him up. I'd book with her again!”
“Monique is awesome taking care of my Dog. She is very flexible about the timing and she sends picture update every hour. I will definitely leave my dog again with Monique.”
“Lynn & Marty took great care of Lillie. When we arrived to pick her up, Lillie was happy & relaxed. L&M were communicative while we were away, took and sent excellent photos.”
“Shalon provided great, loving care for our Frenchie, Lady. Lady clearly enjoyed her vacation while we enjoyed ours! I will definitely return, and trust Shalon to provide a warm and safe home.”
About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.
“Jeanine was very willing to have a pre-stay meet up to introduce our dogs and give my dog the opportunity check out her place. She sent an update and photo of Shiloh's stay even though I didn't specifically request one. My dog's stay was just for one night, but I could tell she felt right at home and had a great time. ”
“Stephanie did a great job with my dog Brando! She sent pictures and updates through out the day and he came home a very happy puppy! She was also very easy to communicate with and took him in same day when I was really in a pinch. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting she took very good care of my fur baby”
“I used Laurie’s dog sitting services in her home for 2 days/nights recently and I was very very pleased. Not only was she updating me throughout my trip with updates/photos of my baby Eden, she also took her to the dog park along with her sweet girl Reese. I would definitely recommend her. She is an animal lover and that shows. So it helped with any uneasiness I felt leaving my dog with her. She took excellent care of Eden and would use her services again!”
“Mary has a deep love of dogs and understanding of their behavior that is just unmatched! It can be hard to find a person who has earned the level of trust to watch over one’s precious pets, but Mary went above and beyond to make sure our questions were answered and our dogs had a great, safe stay! She was thoughtful about the details to help our dogs adjust and made sure to keep up the training of our younger girl (and even taught our older girl a few new tricks) - we will ALWAYS book with Mary when we’re in the area from now on!”
“Amber was great and sent pictures of Moki’s adventures each day. Moki seemed happy when I picked her up and had even had a bath. I would definitely reach out again and would recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Ema took great care of our dog. She's great at communication, and wanted to make sure our dog was comfortable. She was flexible with pickup and drop-off times. I loved the daily photos. So nice to take a trip and not worry about our smallest member of the family. Thank you, Ema!”
“Honey took fantastic care of our pups. She took time to win the trust of our anxious mastiff/GSD mix and continued to teach our 6mo puppy his manners. From our first conversation, it was evident that she had an excellent understanding of dog behavior and we appreciated that she asked us to write up a document outlining the cues our dogs understood and what we were trying to teach them, so that she could continue their training. The pups had an excellent time and were obviously at ease. We've already rebooked :-)”
“Danielle was awesome...she accepted the booking with little notice, and took such great care of Skye. He had playtime in the yard & walks....he was a very happy boy. Danielle kept me updated with photos....would definitely recommend!”
“Robert was great. He took care of our pups as one of his own, which was reassuring for us. Sent photos, was flexible with our schedule and was super proactive. Thanks for watching our dogs!”
“We absolutely loved Lianne she took such good care of our anxious little dog and helped us with socialization which was something we were nervous about. She even took her on great adventures which we loved seeing. Would definitely hire her again, thanks Lianne!”

About: I grew up on a farm in South Africa with both my parents as practicing veterinarians, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have ample experience caring for dogs and cats—from feeding, walking, and playtime to giving extra love and attention. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family regularly, and I treat every furry friend as part of my own family. I’m outdoorsy and love spending time walking and playing with pets. I’m also comfortable with puppies, BIG dogs, senior dogs, and animals with special needs, and I prioritize making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can easily work around morning and early afternoon playtime, walks, and feedings. The evenings are more challenging as I have feed, play and bath time with kids of my own 😊 . Please reach out as I could always try and coordinate so your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I treat every pet as part of my family, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets have a safe, fenced yard to play in and plenty of space to explore. I supervise all playtime and walks to ensure safety and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely, making sure pets feel secure, happy, and loved.

About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Berenisse and I’m a Certified Basic Obedience Dog Trainer based in Buellton, CA. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and what started as a hobby has grown into my true passion. I bring a well-rounded background to pet care and training. I’ve worked as a vet tech and as a dog trainer’s assistant, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have some experience in dog agility training, which I love incorporating for fun and exercise when appropriate. My approach to training and care is rooted in positive reinforcement—building trust, respect, and clear communication with every dog. I believe all dogs deserve patience, love, and encouragement, and I enjoy tailoring my care to meet each pup’s unique needs. I’m also very active, so whether your dog needs structured training, a playful walk, or an energetic workout buddy, I’m happy to be there for them. More than anything, I truly understand how much dogs enrich our lives—and I treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐾 Loving care, respectful training, and lots of tail wags guaranteed! Most of the time I work from home, I do drive around some days and when I am caring for dogs I try to incorporate car rides, physical and mental activity to keep them happy, healthy and to provide a positive experience. They get constant walks, the dog park is a couple blocks away from my house and I do take advantage of that to make sure they get their daily physical and mental estimulation.

At my home, they enjoy a pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I ensure a consistent routine, offering meals, walks, and attention as needed. If I care for your pet in your home, I maintain their daily routine, keeping their environment familiar and stress-free while providing updates and photos. Above all, I treat every pet with the love and respect they deserve, ensuring they feel happy, secure, and well cared for.
“Chantal did a great job feeding our cat Muffy! Scheduling is easy and her location is nearby here in the wonderful Santa Ynez Valley! Highly recommended!”
About: Animals are my Spirit Animals. I like animals more than most people. If a dog doesn't like you, I'm not sure I can like you. Most cats like me. All kidding aside, I am thoughtful, caring and connected to animals. I have had dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, fish, turtles, tortoises, chickens, ducks and frogs in my past. I currently have an 11 year old beagle that is my wingman. I have helped with senior dogs and cats. I have basic puppy training skills. And I have been a pet "first responder" to bobcat attacks in our area. I know the best places to walk dogs, the best ways to keep foul safe and the way to most animals heart. I look forward to helping you and your favorite pet enjoy vacations or a day away from your home. I am a yoga instructor and I have a cold pressed juice business I teach a couple of classes a day giving me plenty of time to spend time with your animals! I believe we can work together to create a safe, fun and loving environment for your pets whether I stay at your place with them or they need to come to my place we will work together to create the best situation possible for your furry, feathery, scaly or hairy family member while you are away.

My goal for every pet is to make them feel loved, cared, and appreciated for! I am currently working part time, so i'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! My hours are very flexible and I am easy to contact just shoot me a message.

About: I've been around a variety of cats since a young age. Shy or timid cats tend to have an easier time with me than others since I have a very calm and gentle demeaner.

“Brittany is an outstanding dig sitter for anyone. Along with being very responsible and professional, she has a great personality and is considerate of the needs of pet owners. Her dog Rio got along very well with my dog Kenzo and kept him entertained all day. 5 stars for sure; I hope to be rebooking with Brittany soon!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Winnie while I attended a wedding! She clearly enjoyed her time with you and your son. I love that you prioritized her comfort on a very hot day, let her hang out on your bed, and accepted my absurd amount of dog supplies that I handed you at drop-off. I appreciate that after it became clear your dog was a bit much for her (un-neutered and a little too boy-ish), you kept them separate. Would re-book if I came back to the area and needed help in the future!”
“Ashley was great with our Calvin! She offered to pick him up each night and drop him off and he got to play with her fur babies on their nice property. She was very easy to communicate with and answered quickly. He definitely enjoyed his time there.”

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.
About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.
“Jake is a wonderful dogsitter and Jett is a great buddy for my dog, Gaia. Gaia can be unpredictable with new dogs, and Jake was very accommodating as we got the two dogs acquainted. Now Gaia loves going to play with Jett. And Jake makes it easy - he’s conscientious, super responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Amber was great! In the 12 hours my golden retriever was with her, they went on multiple walks and she was exhausted by the time we got home (that’s a good thing). They were even walking when I arrived to pick her up! Super sweet, lots of photos that we loved seeing. I highly recommend!”
About: Hello Families! I love all animals and ready to help care for yours while you're away! I grew up on a farm with my parents, and ever since I can remember, we've always had animals around. They ran a non-profit animal rescue for many years, and this taught me much about the responsibilities of caring for an animal. I was also able to learn about different breeds and their temperaments. Although they are nice to play with, we were also taught that with the pleasurable part, also comes the dirty work. I've cleaned much animal poop in my life! My sister and I have ridden horses since we were young, we've volunteered at different animal shelters, and we have brought injured animals into our home to take care of them. I recently graduated and received my Bachelor's degree. I'm continuing my education, which makes me available to go to your home during weekday evenings or weekends (all day). I also offer boarding at my home (24/7), which is safe and secure. I have several yards for your pet(s) to play and exercise. I can feed, administer medication if needed, exercise, clean litter-boxes, and give your pet(s) the love and attention they deserve! I understand your pet(s) have become part of your family, and I will take care of them as if they were my own! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you, Mia
“Robert is reliable, caring and will be there for your pup to help take care of them when you schedule with him. Working two jobs right now and grateful I found him to help with all the juggling. Definitely recommend 👍🏽 👍🏽”
About: I love pets every since I was a kid I’ve always had one and taken good care for them because they mean soo much to me and will always be my number 1 friend! Dog sitting and care for pets will always have time for me in any routine that am in because of the passion and love I have for them. My favorite part of my schedule is taking the dogs out for a walk, hike, or play around the park, or take them out for runs. I care for them like any other human I feed, care, love, and adore them. I take them out 3 times a day one in the morning, afternoon, and at night to walk, or use the bathroom, or any other type of requirements needed.
About: I believe that all pets should experience living life and doing fun activities that we all do! I grew up with pets my whole life, having 2 dogs and 2 cats. What inspired me to begin my journey on this app is from when I volunteered at my local shelter to foster huskies, ranging from a day trip to week long care. I like to plan fun activities in advance with the pets to do throughout the day/weeks, which can be a fun stroll to the beach to collect seashells, going to downtown, and meeting new people at events (such as the farmers markets, makers markets, and more)! I make sure they are under the best possible care while still having fun :) I’m a current student, so I would appreciate if services are scheduled in advance. At the same time, I’m overall pretty flexible and tailors to clients needs. This can be scheduling, pricing, and instructions! I’m pretty flexible! Something as easy as dog walking or drop-ins I can basically do any time, but dog/ cat sitting needs a bit more preparation. Being a student, sometimes things can come up last minute. When given instructions, I am pretty on top of it. Any requests I would be more than happy to accommodate. No need to be afraid to ask questions! I listen to instructions well.

About: I have grown up with pets of all sizes and temperaments my entire life. From dogs to horses to livestock, I am very calm around new animals, even if they may be a bit anxious with new people, pets, and places. I do have my own rescue pup, Río, who loves to get outside for adventures, loves other animals, and loves to be by my side whenever possible. Whether you are in need of pet sitting, exercising, a dog daycation, and/or housesitting with your beloved pet(s), my first choice is always to have Río come along so long as that is something with which you and your pet(s) will be comfortable and enjoy. I grew up on the Central Coast and love to be outdoors and adventuring whether through hikes, long walks, eating out on pet dates at the amazing restaurants nearby, trips to the off leash beaches, or more. If that’s not your pet(s)’ speed and/or favorite things, I am also very into cozying up with them on the sofa or whatever activities may be their favorites as well. If you are in need of care for your horses or livestock, whether while looking for a house sitter or other times, I have a lifetime of experience with horses and am very able to feed, muck, hotwalk, etc. while house sitting or on a drop-in basis. I have not been riding much since returning back to the Central Coast from SF but pending the temperament and experience level necessary, after learning to ride horses much around the same time I was learning to walk, I am always open for an easy ride if needed for your horse(s) as well. Just message me and we can discuss further! Río and I always make sure to take time to get outside to exercise, take potty breaks on grass, and explore daily with an hour-2.5+ hours hike in the mornings and an hour long walk/run after work. Río and I are ideally a package deal so any dog(s), cat(s), and/or whatever pet(s) you are in need of caring for and giving some love to, please advise if they are dog-friendly and enjoy a workout but also love a good lounge throughout the day. For potty breaks and a bit of engagement during the work day, I have a privately fenced yard to pop outside for some sunshine and ball play any time throughout the day and night.
“Jaco had excellent communication and was very willing to try and accommodate my scheduling needs. He sent pictures and updates and I was grateful to know my pup was in good hands.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from raising animals for FFA to training my own dogs and working at an animal shelter. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I treat every pet like family! I work Monday - Friday 7:30am to 4:30 pm I have an hour lunch and would love to take days off to help care for your furry baby’s. I plan to get more availability for the future. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow instructions closely, use secure leashes and gates, and keep a calm, watchful eye on every animal in my care. With years of hands-on experience—from shelter work to farm life—I know how to handle pets gently, responsibly, and with lots of love.
About: Since a very young age (about 5+), I have been taking care of a myriad of animals and learned animal body language from them. It was incredible and I learned a lot of valuable skills from them. After that, I took up teaching myself how to train dogs (plus puppies and cats) with positive training methods. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding to see how they engage, come together with themselves, and gaining a more fulfilling life. And now I am offering pet sitting! I have a lot of time and availability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. *Note: Puppies must have had all 3 of their puppy shots in order for me to accept.

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.

For travelers or busy households, I offer optional concierge services including in-home laundry, fresh linens, and light home care. Come home to happy pets, clean laundry, and a well-cared-for home! I grew up with dogs as my parent had service dogs working for the police. I will care for any dog as it was my own. I have a rescue dog, Hercules. He is an energetic siberian husky and he is the love of my life. I am very active and would love to be outside with your 4 legged friend. I'm empathetic and I pay attention.

About: I've had the opportunity to take care of dogs and love them my whole life. I enjoy dogs of all ages and breeds, but do not have extensive experience with dogs with significant medical conditions. I work from home full-time, so I am able to provide care during the week without issue. If needed, I could also take my laptop and easily work from any location with good internet access. I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood in downtown Santa Barbara, in a stand-alone cottage with a fenced backyard. Just like with children, I defer to what works for you and your pet to give them as much of their normal routine as possible.
About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.
About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my family ever since second grade when I presented a book of poems titled "I Love Dogs" to my parents begging them for a furry friend. I then started dog-walking and pet-sitting as soon as neighbors and family friends would have me. All these years later, getting to know dogs of all shapes and temperaments brings me as much joy as ever. I'm currently working a flexible schedule and am available to fit pet-care in most days. We can work together on a routine that works for both of us. I have a lot of experience dog and cat-sitting for pets of all different breeds and personalities. I am comfortable accommodating different homes and pets according to my client's particular needs.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs. And, have had many of my own. Currently,I have an 18 year old chihuahua that I’ve raised since she was a puppy. I’m extra nurturing and consider myself very knowledgable about senior care. I’m a flight attendant for United Airlines. I’ve been with United since 1994, so my seniority allows for a flexible schedule. I can make plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I’m happy to come by and take care of your dogs or cats. Safety is important to me… you can trust I will go above and beyond for you and your pets.

“If we can recommend anybody to watch over your pup we recommend Berenisse! We left our fur baby for 3 nights 4 days with Berenisse and during that time, Berenisse was in contact with us, showing us videos and pictures of our pup and keeping us up to date with our puppy’s activities. While on vacation, Berenisse made our trip worry free and gave us that peace of mind that our puppy was in great hands. Berenisse is very knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you Berenisse for everything. We will be coming back for sure 👍🏽”
“I had a last minute change to my Thanksgiving plans to go out of town, and thankfully Ashley was available to host Rowdy. He was a happy pup when I picked him up. I'd book with her again!”
“Lynn & Marty took great care of Lillie. When we arrived to pick her up, Lillie was happy & relaxed. L&M were communicative while we were away, took and sent excellent photos.”
“Shalon provided great, loving care for our Frenchie, Lady. Lady clearly enjoyed her vacation while we enjoyed ours! I will definitely return, and trust Shalon to provide a warm and safe home.”
About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.
“Mary has a deep love of dogs and understanding of their behavior that is just unmatched! It can be hard to find a person who has earned the level of trust to watch over one’s precious pets, but Mary went above and beyond to make sure our questions were answered and our dogs had a great, safe stay! She was thoughtful about the details to help our dogs adjust and made sure to keep up the training of our younger girl (and even taught our older girl a few new tricks) - we will ALWAYS book with Mary when we’re in the area from now on!”
“Amber was great and sent pictures of Moki’s adventures each day. Moki seemed happy when I picked her up and had even had a bath. I would definitely reach out again and would recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Honey took fantastic care of our pups. She took time to win the trust of our anxious mastiff/GSD mix and continued to teach our 6mo puppy his manners. From our first conversation, it was evident that she had an excellent understanding of dog behavior and we appreciated that she asked us to write up a document outlining the cues our dogs understood and what we were trying to teach them, so that she could continue their training. The pups had an excellent time and were obviously at ease. We've already rebooked :-)”
“Danielle was awesome...she accepted the booking with little notice, and took such great care of Skye. He had playtime in the yard & walks....he was a very happy boy. Danielle kept me updated with photos....would definitely recommend!”
“Robert was great. He took care of our pups as one of his own, which was reassuring for us. Sent photos, was flexible with our schedule and was super proactive. Thanks for watching our dogs!”
“We absolutely loved Lianne she took such good care of our anxious little dog and helped us with socialization which was something we were nervous about. She even took her on great adventures which we loved seeing. Would definitely hire her again, thanks Lianne!”
About: I work from home, so your dog is never alone for long. My fenced yard means safe outdoor play every day, and regular photo updates mean you'll actually be able to relax on your trip. I have a special needs dog of my own, so I have a particular soft spot for dogs that need a little extra care, but I'm equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and medication administration. I know exactly how much trust you're placing in me, and I don't take that lightly. Your dog gets a real home, real attention, and a lot of love. I work from home full time, which means your dog has company throughout the day rather than waiting for someone to come home. Walks, yard time, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, I'm not squeezing pet care around a commute or office hours. Gladly have your pet a part of my day. My home is fully fenced, so outdoor time is always safe and supervised. Inside, dogs are welcome wherever they're most comfortable.. on the sofa, in the bedroom, wherever helps them settle in. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including crating if that's part of their dog's routine. I'll always ask about your dog's habits, triggers, and preferences before your stay so there are no surprises for either of us.
About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.
About: I'm a 26 year old working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have experience taking care of and training younger dogs and have a young dog myself. I love all kinds of dogs and will take care of your pets like I would my own. I'm working part time so I have varying schedules week to week with lots of time to take care of your pet! I'm always available all day Friday and Saturday morning. I frequently take long walks so your dog will have consistent exercise and frequent potty breaks. I have a private fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that loves playing with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog at night depending on what you prefer. I will follow your dog's routine feeding and care so they are happy and feel at home!
“Cheryl was a fantastic dog sitter. She was easy to communicate with, her home was very dog friendly, and her fenced in yard was perfect for Frankie. Frankie came home happy and tired--she napped most of the day!”
“Jahre and Seth were fantastic sitters for our two boys! When we chatted before, I immediately knew it was a great fit and they would be in great hands. They are so kind and attentive and really made our pups feel at home with them. We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them as sitters.”
“Maddison was absolutely incredible! She’s quite the dog whisperer. It was like magic watching her effortlessly calm and handle our anxious and excited dogs. Our dogs loved her and clearly had such a great time that they almost didn’t want to leave 😂 She was super nice, friendly and communicative. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were in such great hands ☺️”
“Ellen was amazing! my little dog needed medication administered and some special attention and Ellen handled it no problem. We highly recommend her and will have our little dog stay with her next time we leave!”
