“Thank you Stephanie and Jennifer for watching our fur babies again and for sending us updates throughout the weekend. Our dogs always seem happy and comfortable with you.”
“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“Ocean had such a great stay while I was away! I got tons of videos, photos, and updates throughout my trip, and she looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. She ate well, slept well, and clearly had an absolute blast. She came home completely exhausted from all the fun, which is always a great sign! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Cooper was extremely well taken care of. Diana went above and beyond. He had walks, companionship and some personal care. My first time using Diana but it won’t be my last time. Thank you Diana for taking such great care of Coop.”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“Alice was wonderful to work with! She took great care of everything and kept me updated throughout the entire time. She regularly sent photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind and showed how thoughtful and caring she is. She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely work with her again!”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Casey was so great with Rocky. He was nervous and she made him so welcome that he became attached to her. He loved his daily walks and we loved getting the updates. Thank you again Casey. I highly recommend her.”
“Mario was great! We needed a last minute dog sitter for our mini dachshund and he responded right away. He was kind and gave a quick recap when we picked up the dog. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mario!”
“Exceptional experience! Feel extremely blessed to have found Tiantian. My doodle had the time of his life! Tiantian kept me updated daily with messages, pictures, and videos....which was a great comfort to me. She was very understanding and gladly gave Reggie his antibiotic medication to make sure there was no interruption in the treatment for a paw wound he was healing from. Reggie had a blast with her dog and got lots of play time. Happy fur baby, happy Mom 😊 5 stars not enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would unquestionably want Tiantian to watch Reggie on my next trip.”
“Ashley and her family were more than accommodating for Murphy and I almost felt guilty picking him up. He fell in love with their dogs especially Gus who he played with in the backyard running laps until exhaustion. He made himself right at home and they treated him like part of the family. I couldn’t imagine anyone else’s watching Murphy while I’m in the area.”
“Paola took excellent care of Gigi. She texted updates and sent pictures and videos throughout the day. Gigi looked very comfortable and well taken care of. I asked for a meet and greet before she watched Gigi and she was totally fine and open to that, which I loved. It gives the pet owner an opportunity to meet the person who will be watching your dog and see where they’re staying. Paola is very kind and was great with Gigi, she someone’s I would definitely recommend and trust to watch Gigi again.”
“Erin and Ken were AMAZING! I felt very comfortable and happy knowing that my pup was well taken care of in a loving home with another pup to hang with. They sent update photos and were extremely responsive with communication. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have your pup stay somewhere for a few nights and I will definitely be contacting them for my next trip out of town.”
“Maureen and her family are so fantastic with my dog. She is responsible, trust worthy, and caring. So happy to have her as my dog sitter. It makes going on vacation easier knowing she will take care of my dog for me. Thank you!”
“Erika watched my 2 dogs for 4 days and she was wonderful! My dogs had a fabulous time! She fed them all my special food and also sent pictures. They came home very happy! I highly recommend Erika and I will Definitely use her again!”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Alejandra took such great care of our senior cat. He usually doesn’t really like to be touched, but he loved Alejandra and allowed her to pet him! I would not hesitate to use her again to care for our beloved cat. Everything was left clean and beat and our cat was super well cared for.”
“Kaleigh is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She is friendly, responsive and very professional. I know that my cat was extremely well taken care of by Kaleigh. I highly recommend her and plan to use her again for future house/pet care.”
“Great experience booking the service for our two cats while we were away for a week, Kaitlin was on time, sent photo updates regularly, and was quick to respond to any of the concerns.”
“Great sitter! We were very nervous about leaving our cats with a sitter for the first time but had a great experience with Kristina. Good communication, followed all directions, and even got our very shy cat to come out of hiding. Will definitely be booking again for our next trip.”
“Jennifer did a great job with my dog Bailey. She regularly sent pictures every time she took him for a walk and he looked very happy in those pictures. I would highly recommend Jennifer for walking your dog. She was great.”
“Michelle took great care of my kitties! We came back to them in such great spirits they probably didn’t miss us at all! She spent plenty of time playing and giving them affection.”
“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care that was provided to my cat, Luna, by Maureen. Not only is she a fantastic caretaker, but her kind and nurturing nature made Luna feel right at home. I truly was at ease knowing Luna was in such capable and caring hands. Maureen was so kind to update me daily and even sent photos/videos throughout the day. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter, especially for those who have anxious/shy cats! Luna and I are immensely grateful for the outstanding service provided by Maureen in her loving home.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats since middle school! Friends and family have always been recommending people to me, so I have more and more opportunities to make long-lasting connections with some truly wonderful people! I have absolutely no problem with cleaning up cat vomit, cleaning out the litter box, or administering any oral medications your cat needs! Cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities are always welcome! I have no issue caring for cats that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A cat is still a cat, and every cat deserves love regardless of what they look like!
“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”

“How very fortunate we are (Dustin dog and me), and what a huge relief it has been to have connected with Nancy and her sweet Roxy. When our Weimaraner got ill and died suddenly I needed to switch from having our pet sitter staying at our house to the sitter's house so Dustin wouldn't be alone several hours each day. He also needs canine friends but is often reactive (growl, bark, snap if he is scared enough) and needs exposure, time and patience when meeting a new dog. He is not comfortable being handled (he is 14 pounds) by new people. Nancy and Roxy have been wonderful in keeping him in his comfort zone and gaining his trust. After several successful short daycare sessions we will start short boarding stays before our out of town trip. Needless to say I give Nancy the highest recommendation.”
“My dog has loved the experience of being taken care of by Tiantian and her loving dog Ivan. We continue to have daycare with her since everytime we go to drop him, he is overly excited to go and start playing with her dog. Appreciate her great care!”
“Although Macho was only with Mariana and family for six hours, they kept him occupied and he wasn't distressed from being away from his Mama. Definitely recommend Mariana and we'll be certain to avail ourselves of her services again ourselves. Macho's Dad”
“My boys LOVED spending the day with him! I knew the moment I picked them up, because they were happy to see me, but not desperate. (Happy like you'd expect after a walk, instead of desperate like you'd expect after a grooming.) If I ever need dog sitting in the area again, I'm absolutely bringing them back!”
“Maureen is so great with Willy. She showers him with so much love and affection and he is in love with her. We couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our special boy! Thank you Maureen!”
About: I have a decade worth of experience caring for my babies. I’ve been referred as an animal whisperer, so I take first impressions very seriously. I am home 24/7, so you can trust that your babies are being attended to during their visit. That also means my schedule is very flexible and I am open to unique situations as well. My babies freely roam my home, but are very disciplined. They’re taken potty/walked ideally every 2 hours. Whatever my client needs, I will make sure I do my upmost to make it happen.
“We had a wonderful experience with Alice! She was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. She kept us updated throughout the day with frequent texts and photos, giving us a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. She was also very responsive whenever we had questions. We absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Will definitely book with her again!”
“We had a great experience with Brittany watching Peanut. She was attentive, caring, and made sure to send picture updates throughout the day. Seeing Peanut happy and comfortable made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful for the care she provided and would definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I have a year and 3 months old orange tabbies. I watched all videos on YouTube, my favorite is Jackson Galaxy :) me and my boyfriend are absolutely in love with our cats and want to have an opportunity to meet other cats and dogs to share the joy of life. Me and my boyfriend work from home, my schedule is flexible during the week and on weekends. Available on a short notice. Holidays are also available. We have plenty of space available, depending on the character and personality of pets they can hang out together or have their own safe space.
About: Because of my career in the field of applied behavior analysis, I have a deep understanding of pet behavior. I am great at learning new skills and approaches. I find that this helps me tailor my skillset for each furry friend entrusted to my care. I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can care for my dog and yours. This flexibility allows me to consider pet care easily in my schedule. I have a fenced yard for sun bathing. I understand that having your doggy’s best friend gone is stressful enough so I understand the importance to abide by your personal routines and particular tasks that may sound silly to someone else.
“Jana is truly a dog lover and my dog could tell! She absolutely loves Jana! Jana is an amazing dog sitter! She took care of Lele like we would! She took her on 3 walks in one day! Lele’s a Golden Doodle and high energy so she loved it! She’s snoring on the couch now! You can honestly trust Jana with your beloved pups! She’s the absolute best! ❤️”
“Marie was very nice and accommodating when it came to booking. She also sends pictures and updates about my dog Toby which made me feel comfortable. I’ve never left Toby with anyone else and I can easily tell Toby was happy with her. This made me happy because Toby is skeptical with certain people, but he enjoyed being with Marie. Definitely booking anytime I need a sitter!😊”
About: I have three beautiful well behaved dogs and we go to Dogpark or on walks every day. I have a huge yard and the dogs have free reign. Nothing sounds more fun than hanging out with more dogs!! I am currently working part time and would like to fill the rest of my time taking care of dogs. I am very good with dogs and they seem to like me as well. Probably because I take the time to spend with them. I have plenty of space and friendly dogs that love to play. I would want to meet your dog as well as you and make sure we all get along. I go to the dogpark almost every day and would be happy to meet you and your dog and introduce you to my pack.
“Ayni & Alfonsus were so sweet! You can tell they really love and care for all fur babies! My dog Charlie had such a fun time & got along with their dog Boba so well. Got lots of photos and videos throughout the day too. Would definitely bring Charlie back!”

“Julie has been a very reliable dog walker. She gives a full detailed debrief and LOTS of pictures which I love! You can tell she loves what she does, and does it well. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.
About: Hello. My name is Veronica. I live close to Pleasant Valley High School in Camarillo. I took a break from dog sitting, walking, etc. the past several years as my job required me to be out of town in office on several days. My office work has since changed. I now work only part time (gradually easing into retirement) and work remotely from home. When my beloved Dexter passed away, I rescued my current dog, Dakota. Unfortunately, due to his traumatic start in life, he does not get along with other dogs; therefore, I can no longer watch other pet parents' dogs in my home nor can I stay overnight in their homes. However, I am available to dogsit during the day in your home and also walk your fur babies. I do love to be outdoors. I am an enthusiastic animal lover (the reason for my vegetarian lifestyle). I especially love dogs. I am very active. I regularly hike trails and walk daily. I will text or e-mail you constant updates including photos of your loved one(s) while in my care. About this sitter: I am a passionate animal lover.......the reason I am a vegetarian. I especially love dogs and could not imagine life without at least one dog in my family. I love being outdoors and lead a very active lifestyle.....canyon hikes, beach walks, and neighborhood walks/jogs. My current best friend, Dakota certainly keeps me moving! I have had at least two dogs in my family my entire life....and as many as four dogs for many years. My last two senior dogs passed away several years ago, leaving me with only one dog, my Boxer, Dexter, who then passed away almost 3 years ago due to advanced heart failure at age 11. Within a month later, I rescued Dakota, a labrador. I couldn't imagine my home without at least one dog sharing it with me.
“We LOVE Randi!!! She takes great care of Ruda, even taking her to play at her house with her dogs before it after her walk, if I want. But she always walks her, which she needs for exercise, not just babysits. We couldn't be happier. She is walking her twice a week. I wish I'd found her sooner!”
“Thanks so much for accommodating our very last minute request. Jennifer was on time and walked her for the whole 30 mins.Freya was super tired when she got back and we were so glad to be able to get her that walk while we were busy. She went straight to her mini pool to cool off!”
“Cameron is great with my giant puppy! He’s a lovebug, but has no idea he weighs 160lbs. He can be slobbery and can be a lot. She’s very comfortable with big breeds. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: If I had to add up all of the walks and ball throws in my lifetime, so far, it would probably be in the millions. I have had many pets over the years and I have cared for pets of family and friends since I was 7. I am a very compassionate person. I have experience with all types of animals: birds, reptiles, amphibians, spiders, rats, cats and dogs, just to name a few, the list is very long. Animals of all life stages are welcome with me. I am Pet First Aid certified. I even have experience caring for animals with special needs. Pets are part of the family and should always be treated with love and affection. If you choose to work with me, I can assure you, your pets will be in the best care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work from home and enjoy having animals as part of my day. I have the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while working around each pet's individual needs and schedule. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and feel that caring for them is a rewarding part of my everyday life. I believe pets feel happiest and most secure in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. When caring for your animals, I focus on providing patience, love, and attentive companionship while keeping their daily routines as consistent as possible. Whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being there for them, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Kathleen cared for my elderly pitiful 2-3 times a day for over a month after it had surgery. She was very reliable, communicative and great with following postponed instructions and caring for our dog.”
“Trevor took excellent care of our 75lbs dog while we were away. He kept her food and water bowls full, gave her meds daily and took her on 2 big walks a day. Would definitely contact him again the next time we need someone to take care of our dog!”
“Punctual, responsive, respectful. Was very detailed and listened to directions carefully. Arctic came home extremely happy, relaxed and tiered. We have officially found our dog walker.”
About: My 400+ hours of experience training shelter dogs make me the perfect caretaker for any breed of dog. Every interaction we have with our dogs teaches them something and I’m dedicated to teaching them the skills they need to be successful: impulse control, leash manners, and confidence. I tailor my sessions to the dog in front of me: their mood, personality, breed, health, and confidence. Seniors, reactive dogs, bullies, giant breeds, pullers, fearful dogs, jumpy, mouthy, and more all okay — I’ll walk anything! I’m a college student freelancing and running a jewelry business between classes. My days are flexible. You can see which days and times I’m free on my calendar. Free on holidays, sometimes with extra charge. For in-house visits: I bring to your home only items you’ve approved: you must let me know if your pet has any food allergies or tendencies to eat certain toys. I can walk your dog, offer training sessions, and give food enrichment like puzzle feeders and lick mats for dogs and cats by your request. I can send in pictures and video. My experience with a variety of cats and dogs has taught me how to read body language and meet an animal where it’s at. For dog walking, I like to bring treats to build and maintain your dog’s obedience on leash. If this is something that aligns with your goals for your dog, I can use your treats or my own (in which case you must inform me of any allergies or intolerances). I strive for a 15 foot distance between the dog I’m walking and any other animals.
About: I spent my entire life with cats and dogs and I honestly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, i've cared for everything from newborn kittens that needed bottle feeding to senior cats and dogs who required extra patience, medications and specialized care. I have experience giving oral medications and caring for pets with ongoing medical needs. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I've rescued several older cats and dogs because I believe they deserve just as much love and comfort in their golden years. I know every pet has their own personality. Some are playful and social, while others are shy,anxious or simply needs someone who understands that trust takes time. I will take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. I will take care of them as if they were my own. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax, knowing they're in good hands! I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to devote to you're animals besides my own. I can work my schedule around most days and times. When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust and keeping their routine as normal as possible. I will carefully follow all feeding instructions, medications, schedules, walking routines, and any special care directions provided by you. I always make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, and I will closely monitor your pet during walks, playtime, and feeding.
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!
“Curt is awesome, both our dogs took to him immediately, and I had zero worries about them while we were away! I appreciate Curt’s “can do” attitude—such a relief because many part-time dog walkers have schedules that are super limited. Plus, he has a great sense of humor!”
“Amanda was so great with my two goldens! She handled them both very well! She also did a last minute drop in which I booked an hour in advance and she accepted the request right away and was so nice and courteous! Definitely booking her for future visits again!”
About: Does your dog like casual strolls through parks? Me too! Do they like going to beach and dipping in the ocean? Me too! Or do they like snuggling on couch and watching Gardeners World & Northern Exposure??? Me too!!! Let’s be friends!!! 🥹❤️ I have had dogs and cats and other pets mostly my whole life. I have a lot experience caring for friends and family dogs, such as Labradors, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Chow-chows, Bichons, Mastiffs, and other mixes. Now that I currently have free time, I would love to care for yours. I have lived with roommates with dogs from Bulldogs, Pitt-bulls, Boxers to Pomeranians. I worked and lived many years on a farm where taking care of three Rottweiler farm dogs at the same time was part of the job description. It did not seem like work at all, because farm life with dogs is absolute bliss. I have an interest in learning about the holistic approach when caring for my dog. I want her to have the most optimal life in the most natural way. I admire Juliette De Baïracli Levy a lot and am currently learning about her work with animals. My approach is friendly yet stern enough for the big furry friends. I love big dogs as I have had lifelong friendships/experience with many Rottweilers and an entire littler of Labradors who are now Seniors. When I was caring for the dogs on the farm, two Rottweilers came as puppies while I was caring for another who was middle to eventually Senior. I would give the Senior medicine. And eventually one of the puppies grew up and got sick and needed medicine too. I believe the Rottweiler is my spirit animal for they always magically show up in my life. <3 My current dog is a big German Shepherd Cattle dog mix, sweetie girl. She is two years old and acts like a big puppy. She is curious with high energy. She is very cute and smart so she tries to test limits, but overall thrives to be a good girl. It makes me proud when I get positive feedback from those that meet her. I am currently working part time as well as studying which allows me to very easily fit in pet care every day in my routine. I am currently unable to share my home for boarding care. I’d be happy to care for them if they need someone present for overnight stays.
About: I have been boarding and caring for animals through Rover for almost 6 years. Due to my recent move, I am unable to accomodate boarding in my unit. However, I am available to walk your puppies or drop in to check on them. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and temperaments. Let me know how I can help! I have two dogs of my own and am willing to help someone else out around my work schedule. Just let me know what you need. I am no longer able to support boarding dogs in my new unit do to the space. However, I am able to walk and drop in on your puppies.
About: Hi! I'm Gabby, a recent CSU Channel Islands graduate with a B. A. in Psychology. I'll be starting my Master's in Counseling Psychology (MFT emphasis) at California Lutheran University this fall. I'm currently looking for part-time dog walking, dog boarding, and drop-in visits that work well with my graduate school schedule. I've loved animals my whole life and began volunteering with Ventura County Animal Services as soon as I turned 18, where I volunteered for about three years. I also started pet sitting in 2019 and have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house and pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home. I have two female Labradoodles and two cats, so any dogs staying in my home must be friendly with both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable caring for pets overnight and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule while I’m in graduate school, so I’m available for daytime and overnight boarding any day of the week, as well as dog walking and drop-in visits. Since I have pets of my own, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My two Labradoodles are indoor dogs, but they have access to a large, securely fenced yard where I let them out throughout the day to run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I don’t have a doggie door because my two cats are indoor-only, so all outdoor time is supervised. My dogs are very friendly and love meeting new dog friends, and my cats are comfortable around dogs, so I only board pets that are friendly with both dogs and cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. At night, my pets have their own comfortable sleeping routines. My older Labradoodle sleeps with my parents, and my younger Labradoodle sleeps with me. Any dog boarding in my home is welcome to sleep in my room if that helps them feel more comfortable, or I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them and their owner, such as sleeping in a crate or their own designated sleeping space.

“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Cooper was extremely well taken care of. Diana went above and beyond. He had walks, companionship and some personal care. My first time using Diana but it won’t be my last time. Thank you Diana for taking such great care of Coop.”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Exceptional experience! Feel extremely blessed to have found Tiantian. My doodle had the time of his life! Tiantian kept me updated daily with messages, pictures, and videos....which was a great comfort to me. She was very understanding and gladly gave Reggie his antibiotic medication to make sure there was no interruption in the treatment for a paw wound he was healing from. Reggie had a blast with her dog and got lots of play time. Happy fur baby, happy Mom 😊 5 stars not enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would unquestionably want Tiantian to watch Reggie on my next trip.”
“Ashley and her family were more than accommodating for Murphy and I almost felt guilty picking him up. He fell in love with their dogs especially Gus who he played with in the backyard running laps until exhaustion. He made himself right at home and they treated him like part of the family. I couldn’t imagine anyone else’s watching Murphy while I’m in the area.”
“Erin and Ken were AMAZING! I felt very comfortable and happy knowing that my pup was well taken care of in a loving home with another pup to hang with. They sent update photos and were extremely responsive with communication. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have your pup stay somewhere for a few nights and I will definitely be contacting them for my next trip out of town.”
“Erika watched my 2 dogs for 4 days and she was wonderful! My dogs had a fabulous time! She fed them all my special food and also sent pictures. They came home very happy! I highly recommend Erika and I will Definitely use her again!”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my Dukie boy. I can tell he had a great time and was so happy! I appreciate the photos of how he was doing and how much fun he was having!(: We will definitely be booking again soon!”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“Steph was great with my dogs. She was flexible and understanding to my dogs individual needs. She is wonderful and very easy to work with! I look forward to booking with her again soon.”
“Both of my boys stood the weekend with Jana while we were getting married nearby. In our first meeting, she welcomed our boys immediately into her home, let them get comfy, asked all the right questions and overall just made us feel confident that our boys were being left in great hands. She constantly sent us photos and videos during their stay and allowed us to feel at peace at our wedding knowing the boys were in great hands and living their best lives. We are so grateful for Jana, she played the biggest role in our wedding: making sure our boys were taken care of and she crushed it. Not to mention, she’s a total sweetheart 🙏🏼”
“This was my second time booking with Christopher and once again he was awesome. He takes such good care of Mochi and always sends updates and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind. He’s also very accommodating with my schedule changes. Mochi is always happy and relaxed when I pick him up. I really appreciate his reliability and kindness, I’ll definitely keep booking with him!”

“My dog, Maui, is a very important member of my family, and he was treated with alot of personal care by Andrew and Karrie when they watched him for a week. My family misses Maui so much on vacation, and the daily pictures of Maui playing, relaxing, and having a spa day made us so very happy! I highly recommend Andrew and Karrie for taking care of your furry family member with alot of love and attention.”
“Nancy keeps Murphy anytime we’re in need of someone we can trust and we love her! The entire time on my trip I received updates, photos of my baby playing at the park, & videos of her being spoiled with pup cups (way more than she gets spoiled at home). Murphy got a little sad/confused the first couple days we were gone and Nancy handled it with so much love and compassion. I know she is in great hands with Nancy every time.”
