“Rachel and her loving family took fantastic care of our little 6 month old puppy. This was the first time we had left her with someone and we really appreciated the attention to detail and expertise that Rachel provided. We will definitely be using her services in the future and are so glad to have found her!!”
“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Marla is so calm and kind- her love of dogs shows in the great care she gave our two pups! This was the first time we left one of our dogs with a sitter and he seemed to do so well and clearly happy with the care. We hope to have Marla back to take care of our pups on our next trip away.”
“Natalie was outstanding! My dog stayed with her for 8 days. She went above and beyond to send updates and photos multiple times per day. She was so communicative, and it was obvious that my dog was having a great time! I seriously can't say enough about how great Natalie and her family are, and you should absolutely book with her with no hesitation. I will be rebooking with her anytime we go out of town. She's the best!! Thank you so much, Natalie and fam! :)”
“This was an excellent experience with great care for our dog. Chili has special heart problem that requires her to have medication three times a day so we rarely leave her but, Jed and Tara handled it with care and attention! Chili loved playing with their children and did not want to leave when we came to pick her up she was having so much fun. They were flexible, communicative and cared well for our dog. Thank you!”
“We were so thankful to find Josh to watch our Lucy for 5 nights. He sent us daily updates and from the looks of the pictures Lucy seemed very happy at his home and especially happy with his daughters. We would recommend!”
“Lauren was great with my dog! I got daily updates on his walks and she was very responsive. I think my dog loved her backyard and he was able to play/get his energy out—after I picked him up he slept all day. I would book with Lauren again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my extra large, hyper puppy for the first time. Sara was reliable, responsive, and professional. She clearly has a depth of experience with all kinds of dogs and I felt %100 confident that my pup was in great hands.”
“Robyn was an excellent caretaker for my 2-year-old cat. My cat is not neutered, and many pet sitters outright refused to take him, but Robyn was both enthusiastic and gracious in accepting him. She provided frequent updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. It was clear she actively engaged with my cat—providing toys, attention, and a comfortable environment. From everything she shared, I could tell he was genuinely well cared for. Robyn is the definition of a caring, compassionate, and thoughtful person. I would absolutely rely on her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Wolfie enjoyed his stay at Kiara’ place. The entire family is really friendly and treated Wolfie as one of the family members. The house is clean and has big enough space for dogs. Def will recommend to others!”
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker with a deep love for dogs and animals. I have one dog of my own, Otis (5 years old, terrier mix). I grew up with animals since I can remember and have always loved animals of all kinds. I am friendly, caring, gentle, observant, and strong/assertive when necessary to ensure animal safety. Otis and I have hosted animals of all different personalities successfully. We would love to have your lil doggo with us soon :) I am available most days, morning to evening. Weekends I am a bit more available, but usually have flexibility. I can make adjustments with a day notice typically. I have experience training my own animals and have seen big progress with behavioral challenges. I know how to work with different personalities and ensure safety. I keep dogs on leashes and allow for appropriate introductions. I also have a big backyard that is fenced in.
“Thanks so much Janice for first meeting and greeting us before the visit and sending lots of photos during! Sammie was so happy to be there he didn’t want to leave. Your backyard is beautiful and doggy friendly, including this Houdini!”
“My small dog enjoyed her stay with Douglas. He treated her as if she were his own and kept me updated daily with texts, photos, and videos to show me how she was doing.”
“Katie was so wonderful! My dog came home relaxed and tired from all the fun. I can tell she was properly cared for and given a lot of attention and exercise. I was so grateful for Katie’s kindness and understanding of my special, quirky dog.”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
“Andy was so very sweet! Our little Oso is very shy and timid, plus a little scared of people, seems he felt very comfortable at Andy's house. We received updates with pictures and felt very at-ease knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely recommend and re-hire him! Thank you!!!”
“My wife and I love this lady. We have an immensely energetic puppy, Chava, who we need to train as a service dog. Madelyn has been a godsend, taking very good care of Chava and helping us with sound advice. Check out her other services; she doesn't just board.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’m was around 5, I grew up with poodles and we raised them . I would help the neighbors with their cats,dogs,birds and bunnies I currently work for full-time, but on the weekends I enjoy hanging out with dogs. I own one of my own. I do enjoy walking them taking to the park having quality time with them. I can provide a fenced yard. There is a park a block away from my home. We can walk to to have open play or play on a leash.Or one on one play in door or in my fenced yard
“Krissy took amazing care of my sweet 16 year old Gordy. He does have cancer and needs medication 2x day, and Krissy was able to keep him on his schedule with medicine and food. Also I loved the daily pictures as I knew he was doing well. It is hard to leave your senior pet with someone else but with Krissy I felt he was well taken care of and overall at ease. Would definitely recommend and rebook if the need arises. Supper grateful with the overall process and got my sweet baby back in good health.”

“Kristie was wonderful taking care of our very shy outdoor kitty. She stopped in twice a day to feed him and give him lots of attention! She also took care of watering plants and bringing in mail. I was so happy to get photos of Timmy and a report as to how the visits went. I'll definitely use Kristie again!”
About: We’re a dedicated pet-sitting team with over 30 years of experience caring for animals, bringing compassion, patience, and reliability to every pet we care for. We love keeping pets happy and active with walks and play, while always following your detailed instructions for feeding, routines, medications, and special needs. Working together means your pet always has attentive, consistent care—never rushed or overlooked. We truly enjoy spending quality time with animals and treat every pet as if they were our own, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a pet-sitting team, we offer the best of both worlds. I work from home, so your pet has company, attention, and care throughout the day, with regular breaks for walks, play, and check-ins. My partner is retired, which means added availability, flexibility, and a calm presence at home. Together, we ensure your pet is never alone, rushed, or overlooked. We’re happy to follow a detailed schedule you provide—including exact feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medications—so your pet’s routine stays consistent, familiar, and stress-free while you’re away. As an in-home pet-sitting team, we care for your pet the same way we’d want someone to care for our own—with love, attentiveness, and respect for their home and routine. Having two caregivers means more consistency, flexibility, and peace of mind, with your pet always receiving calm, unrushed attention in the comfort of their own space. We believe clear communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and short videos to reassure you that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. We take the time to listen carefully and follow every instruction you provide—from feeding schedules and medications to special needs and quirks—so your pet’s routine stays familiar and stress-free while you’re away.
“Kady took great care of my cat while I was out of town. She sent me daily updates along with photos which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely board with Kady again if she's available in the future.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for animals and have been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets. As an FFA member, I am comfortable working with many different types of animals and understand the responsibility that comes with proper animal care. I have owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am dependable, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I am available on weekdays in the early mornings and after 3:00 PM, making it easy to fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my schedule. On weekends, I am available in the mornings and can provide attentive care, exercise, and playtime. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, companionship, and enrichment they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise. Pets will never be left unattended in the backyard, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they remain safe. If a dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated for their routine, I can easily accommodate that. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Coral is truly an animal person. She's so loving, responsible, knowledgeable and personable. She made us feel so comfortable about being away. She's definitely the person we'll want whenever we go somewhere.”
“Rachel was a great cat sitter! She communicated any questions she ran into and took great pics of my kitty. I felt much better about leaving my cat home knowing Rachel would be there to check in on her and give my cat the company she needed and making sure her box stayed tidy.”
“Morgan was amazing! Great communicator and sent multiple photos every day. Both kitties gave two thumbs up (even the very shy one). She went above and beyond the expected duties when we had a small ant invasion and just dealt with it. We could not recommend her more highly to others.”
About: I've owned cats and taken care of them for multiple years, so I totally get their whole vibe. I know some are super cuddly and want constant attention, while others are a bit more independent and just need their space—and I'm totally cool with both! I don't just pop in and leave. I treat every cat like they're my own. I really make sure to give them all the love and attention they deserve so they feel safe and happy while you're away. For me, getting to hang out with your cat isn't just a job, it's one of the best parts of my day!
“Kiah was a responsible pet-sitter. She kept us informed with our 2 cats daily for 5 days. My cats also appreciated. She kept the litter box area very clean as I asked her to, and the handover to the 2nd pet sitter went smooth too. I recommend Kiah.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My oldest is nearly 15. I have 4 currently, lab, shepherd, border collie mix, boxer. I can handle pretty much any breed, temperament, & love them all! From puppies to seniors, I’m comfortable helping with any needs. I’m also a big trail runner, so if your dog needs a little extra I can help! I have a flexible schedule working for myself, so I can adjust my schedule to meet you & your pets needs, whether that’s dog walks or drop by visits! My dogs are all crate trained while I’m away or in the car. At home they have free roam with a fenced in yard. I will care for your pets like they were my own.
“Addi did a great job caring for our kitten while we were out of town. She sent pictures and updates, and always replied to my texts, which I really appreciate since I am a little bit of a helicopter mom. :) She is responsible, kind, and gave our kitty lots of attention and love. Our house was well cared for as well- she is very neat and tidy! I will for sure be a repeat client!”
“Carrie did a great job with my cats. She was always on time, took good care of feeding them with their medication and played with them. Sent me lots of pictures and even brought in a package. She is honest and reliable. Thank You!”
“Mary was wonderful with the cats! She was very thorough in her reports, and was able to administer the cat's specific meal requests. I would highly recommend and look forward to her watching the kitties again!”

“Marla was a wonderful sitter for my doggy. She has a great home with a big yard. She was very communicative all day and sent pictures to help me see how she was doing.

Your animals will be loved and cared for as if they were my very own, and I look forward to walking and sitting your furry friends!

Always making sure they are in a secure safe area, whether inside the home or in the yard, always checking for fresh water and making sure they are fed on time, playing with them and giving them the care they deserve!
“We relocate often for work and it's always stressful trying to establish reliable and trustworthy pet care in a new community. I was immediately comfortable with Allie and Wallace walked away with her without hesitation. When I picked him up, his tail was wagging, he seemed calm and content. I've already re-booked!”
“Legera was a very thoughtful and caring host for our dog. She was fully trustworthy, asked great questions, and clearly wanted the best experience for our older pup, who had the biggest smile on her face when we came back to pick her up. Given her separation anxiety, this is a lovely result. Thanks, Legera!”
“Joan was a compassionate, patient and gracious caretaker for our dog Ollie. It was Ollie's first time with a dog sitter and she took very good care of him. We will definitely bring Ollie back when we travel to the Central Coast area. We highly recommend Joan!”
“Dropped off Flower for a short visit today before I board him with Andrew. I had previously met with Andrew so that Flower could meet him and Flower was very happy to see him. When I picked up my little dog, he seemed very content and peaceful sitting in his little bed. It made me very happy to see that my dog was happy and apparently had a good visit! I feel great about leaving flower with Andrew for the upcoming weekend after this wonderful experience.”

“Isabelle was such a great host for our dog Jayden. My wife and I traveled to Reno from out of town for an event. Our dog is a 15 year old lab that is mostly blind, mostly deaf and has a few other “old lady” problems. Despite all this Isabelle agreed to watch Jayden for a few hours. Isabelle’s communication before and during Jayden’s stay was exceptional as she kept us updated on how Jayden was doing and sent a few pics as well. Isabelle was also very flexible when we asked if we could drop Jayden off earlier than originally planned. Isabelle is a great dog sitter and made Jayden’s time away from us as comfortable as possible. My wife and I have total trust in Isabelle and will definitely use her again if ever in the area.”
“Katie is amazing! She had a wonderful first day with our pup Jack. She is very warm and professional, and an obvious dog-lover! Jack felt right at home and he loved spending the day with her and sweet Sumi. Katie was very responsive and she sent pics and updates throughout the day. She took Jack out for walks and treated him like he was her own fur-baby. We will definitely be using Katie again for watching Jack. We all loved her!”
“Truly excellent for our high energy dogs who love people and other dogs. They got lots of activity, lots of attention and most of all plenty of love while we were away. Highly recommend!!”
“Emelie was very responsive, attentive and kept us up to date on how things were going with our pup Louie. He was a bit stressed being to be dropped off after a few days of car travel, but Emelie took him on a nice long walk to settle him down. Great location and safe spot in the middle of SLO. Thanks Emelie!”

I understand that some owners love having pets but lead a busy life so I am here to help however I can! I have a fenced yard and a 2 yo Labrador to keep your dog busy as needed.

About: I have over 9 years of hands on experience caring for my own three dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of pet care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, and general health maintenance. Over the years, I’ve managed everything from daily walks and training routines to vet visits and special diets. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog sat for friends, looking after dogs of various breeds and sizes. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog's individual needs, making sure that they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to fully dedicate time and attention to pet care. This flexibility means I can easily accommodate your pet's specific routines, whether that includes early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening feedings. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I prioritize keeping your pets active, engaged, and comforted, and I’m available for both short visits and long stays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to giving each pet the time, energy, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their established routines to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you're away. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any specific needs. Daily walks are done at the times your pets are used to, and I always try to make sure they get the right amount of exercise and playtime based on their energy levels and preferences. I also make sure to spend quality time with your pets whether that means playing fetch, or simply being present to keep them company. I understand how important consistency is with my own dogs, so I stick closely to your instructions, including any medication schedules, crate routines, or expectations. My goal is to make your pets feel as happy and secure as they do when you're home.
About: I believe that pets aren't just pets. They are one of us, making them a big part of our families. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are usually out of sight until they are hungry. We have dog gates to keep everyone safe. I have a large fenced yard and a daughter who loves animals. We are a very dog friendly family. Your dogs will be in a fun home environment and love you for letting them stay here. We also have chickens and ducks! However, they are locked up and inaccessible to the dogs. About this sitter: I am a 36 year old stay at home mom and wife. I have a 13 year old daughter. She loves animals and is very gentle. My husband and I own our home. We have a large fenced in yard. I can walk dogs, help to potty train, help with basic obedience, crate train, take to dog parks, even come and clean litter boxes and feed cats! My dogs are crate trained and sleep in their crates when we are not home. My dogs get to be on the couch and bed with us. We do not leave them outside when it is too hot or too cold, but they do love to lay in the sun. Pet care fits great with my schedule, as taking care of my family is my number one priority. Working a 9 to 5 job just doesn’t fit in with my daily life. Pet care is fun, unique, and never the same! I have a fenced backyard. I would never leave your pet outside unattended. If I’m at your home, I’ll play with your cats or dogs. I’ll gain their trust (not just clean litter boxes or pick up after them). I make sure to take lots of videos and pictures so you know they are happy and taken care of. Your pets are treated with respect and like my own when I care for them.
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets.

I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and respect as if they were my own! I’m a college student in the San Luis Obispo area and offer reliable dog walking and drop-in care for both dogs and cats! I’m generally available in SLO on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11am, and in North County (Paso Robles, Templeton, and surrounding areas) on select weekdays with flexible daytime and early evening availability. I’m also available on weekends in North County. My schedule can vary slightly week to week, so I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work best for you and your pet! I focus on providing attentive, responsible care during drop-in visits and walks. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions and make sure pets are secure before leaving. Clear communication and updates are always provided for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including livestock. I’m responsible for overseeing the wellness and nutrition of every animal, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My experience also includes training and handling livestock, ensuring they are well-behaved and healthy. Whether it's managing animals’ care, training, or addressing specific needs, I’m comfortable working with animals of all types and ages I’m currently looking for part-time work and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight stays. I also ensure regular check-ups to stay on top of everything. When caring for pets in a client's home, my approach is always centered around the pet’s individual needs and comfort. I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and familiar, especially when they're away from their owners. I offer a variety of services depending on the pet’s requirements, such as daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and regular check-ups to ensure their wellness. For overnight stays, I maintain the same routine as at home, keeping things consistent so the pet feels at ease. I also offer special attention to senior pets or those with specific health needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Communication with the pet owner is key, so I send regular updates and pictures to keep them informed and reassured that their pet is in good hands.

“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Natalie was outstanding! My dog stayed with her for 8 days. She went above and beyond to send updates and photos multiple times per day. She was so communicative, and it was obvious that my dog was having a great time! I seriously can't say enough about how great Natalie and her family are, and you should absolutely book with her with no hesitation. I will be rebooking with her anytime we go out of town. She's the best!! Thank you so much, Natalie and fam! :)”
“This was an excellent experience with great care for our dog. Chili has special heart problem that requires her to have medication three times a day so we rarely leave her but, Jed and Tara handled it with care and attention! Chili loved playing with their children and did not want to leave when we came to pick her up she was having so much fun. They were flexible, communicative and cared well for our dog. Thank you!”
“We were so thankful to find Josh to watch our Lucy for 5 nights. He sent us daily updates and from the looks of the pictures Lucy seemed very happy at his home and especially happy with his daughters. We would recommend!”
“Lauren was great with my dog! I got daily updates on his walks and she was very responsive. I think my dog loved her backyard and he was able to play/get his energy out—after I picked him up he slept all day. I would book with Lauren again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my extra large, hyper puppy for the first time. Sara was reliable, responsive, and professional. She clearly has a depth of experience with all kinds of dogs and I felt %100 confident that my pup was in great hands.”
“Robyn was an excellent caretaker for my 2-year-old cat. My cat is not neutered, and many pet sitters outright refused to take him, but Robyn was both enthusiastic and gracious in accepting him. She provided frequent updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. It was clear she actively engaged with my cat—providing toys, attention, and a comfortable environment. From everything she shared, I could tell he was genuinely well cared for. Robyn is the definition of a caring, compassionate, and thoughtful person. I would absolutely rely on her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Wolfie enjoyed his stay at Kiara’ place. The entire family is really friendly and treated Wolfie as one of the family members. The house is clean and has big enough space for dogs. Def will recommend to others!”
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker with a deep love for dogs and animals. I have one dog of my own, Otis (5 years old, terrier mix). I grew up with animals since I can remember and have always loved animals of all kinds. I am friendly, caring, gentle, observant, and strong/assertive when necessary to ensure animal safety. Otis and I have hosted animals of all different personalities successfully. We would love to have your lil doggo with us soon :) I am available most days, morning to evening. Weekends I am a bit more available, but usually have flexibility. I can make adjustments with a day notice typically. I have experience training my own animals and have seen big progress with behavioral challenges. I know how to work with different personalities and ensure safety. I keep dogs on leashes and allow for appropriate introductions. I also have a big backyard that is fenced in.
“My small dog enjoyed her stay with Douglas. He treated her as if she were his own and kept me updated daily with texts, photos, and videos to show me how she was doing.”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
“My wife and I love this lady. We have an immensely energetic puppy, Chava, who we need to train as a service dog. Madelyn has been a godsend, taking very good care of Chava and helping us with sound advice. Check out her other services; she doesn't just board.”
“Krissy took amazing care of my sweet 16 year old Gordy. He does have cancer and needs medication 2x day, and Krissy was able to keep him on his schedule with medicine and food. Also I loved the daily pictures as I knew he was doing well. It is hard to leave your senior pet with someone else but with Krissy I felt he was well taken care of and overall at ease. Would definitely recommend and rebook if the need arises. Supper grateful with the overall process and got my sweet baby back in good health.”
“Sarah kept Coco over a long weekend. I could tell from Coco’s casual demeanor at pick-up rather than the usual over excitement that she was more than content staying with Sarah and her lovely dog. She even let Coco tag along for their outdoor adventures. I recommend Sarah to anyone looking to board their dog at a great price!”
“I felt very confident that my Ridgeback was in safe hands with Adrienne. It was our first overnight stay with her, and she kept me informed throughout and sent pictures during their walks. I highly recommend Adrienne for dog sitting.”
About: I’ve had experience caring for large dogs my whole life and currently handle most of the day-to-day care for my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, and keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is how attentive and hands-on I am. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially confident with bigger dogs and can adapt to each dog’s routine, whether that means active playtime or a calmer, more relaxed environment. Until early June, I have school and work during the week, along with some busy weekends, but I’m still available for pet care with enough notice and can work around my schedule. Starting in the summer, I’ll have a much more open and flexible schedule and am looking to take on more pet sitting opportunities. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also make time for calmer moments, like relaxing and giving pets the affection and companionship they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“My dog absolutely loved Legera! She was very communicative, and my dog clearly felt so comfortable at her home, she didn’t want to leave. Maia will be excited to stay with her while we’re on vacation, and we feel really at ease leaving her in such good hands. Thanks so much!”
“Riley looked great and happy when we returned from an overseas vacation. Kara was very pleasant, caring and took good care of Riley. I am going on a trip in 2016 and be checking in to ask Kara for her help again.”
