“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Lauren and Ben took such kind care of Mira for a few days. Their home is full of family warmth and happy dogs, and Mira felt right at home. Communication was smooth and easy, and Lauren sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely bring Mira back when I’m in the area. Thank you so much!”
“Heather and Calob were amazing! They watch our puppy for a long weekend and did a great job of keeping her occupied (which is hard for a puppy!). We would highly recommended them for any travel you’re doing, great folks!”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Sophie, with a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs, was wonderful with our yellow Lab. Her home has an ample backyard area and is quite welcoming to dogs. Her Boston Terrier plays very nicely with others. Our Lab got lots of love and attention from Sophie, including regular walks in the low-traffic neighborhood near Dominican U. It is abundantly clear that Sophie, an energetic college student trying to earn some money on Rover, could not be more motivated to take phenomenal care of your cherished companion. She did so with our 4 year-old Lab.”
“Another great experience with Ciana and her family! Our dog loves her and greeted her excitedly when we dropped him off! We’re so glad we have a home away from home for him when we go on vacation.”
“Robin took care of my beloved Scooter. Scooter is a rescue and I had never trusted anyone else to care for him. Judging from his behavior when I picked him up, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. Scooter bonded with Robin and made new friends, including her own friendly dog, Zuko. Robin showed great flexibility and accommodated Scooter’s quirky eating habits and adapted to his needs to see that he was having a great time and was well cared for. Robin is a GREAT communicator, sending daily updates, photos, etc to let me know that Scooter was doing well, what he was up to, who he was playing with, etc. All in all, Robin gets 10 stars on a five star scale. Scooter can’t wait to go back on his next vacation.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sandy! From the moment she picked Lucy up, I felt completely confident that she was in great hands. Her communication was prompt and friendly, and the regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to find someone as trustworthy and attentive as Sandy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future—thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“Jamie was very timely in responding to me and sent me photos and updates. My dog Ollie felt right at home immediately and marched right in. Jamie and Joseph were obviously very familiar with caring for dogs, including noticing the little things, like wiping dogs eyes at the corners which I do. The house was clean and the neighborhood is quiet. I feel absolutely comfortable with having Ollie boarded with them and will be using their services again.”
“Our Golden Doodle & our Pug spent 3 nights with Brandie and her family. The Boys got to play with other dogs in the backyard and be loved by Brandies family! Thank you Brandie, I know they will want to come play for the day very soon!”
“Jill has a beautiful home and property for the dogs to run and have fun. Great for socializing your dog. My fearful rescue dog was eight and home and relaxed and happy when I picked her up :)”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Cymantha is a love. She understands dogs and communicated throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable and happy. We have already booked her for another stay!”
“I can not say enough about how amazing Brianna and Alex are. My puppy had to have emergency surgery right before I left her with them, and they handled her detailed care plan and fragile state with such love and professionalism. They even taught me the trick of hiding her pills in mashed potatoes! They truly deserve ten stars!!!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and the list goes on! I'm comfortable around all animals, and I absolutely adore them all! I go to school full time, but I do not have classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I can be available between classes on Wednesday and Thursday. There's lots of room for flexibility in my schedule. I will follow all instructions the owner provides. I can crate animals, take them on walks, feed, and water them, and keep them entertained throughout the day.
“Tucker always love to go to the farm and hang out with his retriever buddies. Jake and Shayla are great, attentive and professional. He gets so much love there, I feel good about leaving him when I’m away.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all. I often watched others dogs in the neighborhood growing up while people were out of town take care of friends and families dogs when they are traveling or at work I work from home and have a golden retriever who I already take care of. He loves to play with other dogs so loves whenever we get to god sit. I have a fenced yard and take the dogs for an afternoon and night walk on my lunch and after work. I have a dog of my own so my house is kept tidy with nothing that would be unsafe for dogs.

About: I really do love every kind of cat! I've had cat companions my entire life, and I feel like sometimes they are so soft and so squishy I just can't even stand it. I wouldn't say my cats are trained exactly, but they do let me give them a bath. And most of the time when I call them they do come so I'm calling that a win. I can give the pills and such when that's required, and I'm happy to work with all cats young and old.
“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”
“Blake was just a remarkable visitor for our 18 yr old big boy kitty. We wanted someone who would be careful and very loving with AJ and she was - accompanying him out to the yard & petting him, etc. She took notes during her pre visit session & followed them to a T! She is such a nice person and so thorough and loving with AJ that we would jump at having her come again!!”
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I am a full-time, professional pet sitter with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Because this is my dedicated career—not a side job—I’m able to provide attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I understand that pets are family, and I prioritize their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being while you’re away. From energetic dogs who need structure and play to independent or shy cats who need patience and calm consistency, I bring experience, intuition, and heartfelt care to every visit, so you can travel with complete peace of mind. I have had many pets in the past but currently have a Chinese Crested dog (hairless) and a long hair chihuahua. Both are rescues. I am currently available full time to care for your pets in your home. I have done full time and part time pet sitting for several years. At this time, I only do pet care and house sitting in pet owner's home. I am not set up to do pet sitting at my home.
About: Hi! I’ve cared for cats for many years through friends, family, and personal experience. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, and I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of their routines and boundaries. I’m very detail oriented and reliable in my day to day life, and I bring that same level of care into pet sitting. Whether your cat is playful, shy, affectionate, or independent, my goal is to help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates, photos, feeding schedule consistency, litter box maintenance, playtime, and lots of calm companionship. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Andrea has taken care of our cats for years, and is great. She takes the time to get to know their personalities, play with them, and give them snuggles. Our shy kitties love her, and so do we - she’s super reliable and communicative -and takes great pics for us during her visits.”
“I have two very different cats. One is very social and outgoing, while the other is very shy and timid. Olivia was great with both of them. She gave my outgoing furbaby lots of love and attention and she climbed on the floor and brought food to my other shy furbaby while he lived under the bed. Her updates and pics helped me relax and know everything was going smoothly. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again!”
“Hannah did a great job checking in on our cat. Our cat is a classic scared cat but Hannah was persistent in trying to gain her trust and offer treats. Clear communication and daily pictures. I would definitely recommend Hannah!”
“Victoria was super attentive and a great communicator. We just needed a quick drop in for our cat this time, but we would definitely love to have Victoria take care of Johnny again!”
About: I have grown up owning both dogs and cats of all ages and cared for them like family. I love animals and have 15 years of pet sitting experience for family and friends over the years! I am currently a college student and balancing school and other activities is a priority for me! I will have a lot of time to hang out and play with your pups! I will make sure you have complete trust in me taking care of your fur babies in your house by following all instructions given and will make sure to clarify with you any care questions I may have!
“Hillary came to my rescue after someone else cancelled the day before. Came over to meet Lola and go over her eating schedule. When she came over to feed Lola, I got a nice video of Lola greeting her. I would highly recommend Hillary for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Hillary!!”

“Heather & Calob are caring dog owners and obviously take this role seriously. My service dog needed a little respite from me on a Sunday afternoon. They are a terrific choice. Thanks guys! We’ll see you again!”
“Robin's doggy daycare was perfect for our 2-year-old Golden Doodle. She provides a safe home environment and supervised play for the dogs. He had not been to a doggy daycare before this, so I was unsure if he would be anxious. But he settled in right away. We will definitely leave him with Robin again.”
“Allyse hosted my dog for doggy day care since she panics when left alone. Itza had good company while I was at work, Allyse took great care of her, providing lunch, potty breaks, and sun bathing time in their fully gated yard. Itza will be back, I highly recommend Allyse!”
“Jeremy and Jordan have a great house to host dogs and an amazing yard. Their pets are happy characters and they have a great vibe going. We already booked our next stay. Thank you!”
About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and possess a special way of relating to dogs. For the last decade, I have been the neighborhood go-to for dog sitting and boarding, while also taking care of my own three dogs. With the large back yard, sunning deck, and kiddie pool, I ensure a fun and relaxing experience for your pups stay. I am skilled in grooming (basic grooming), dog massage, feeding, medication administration, communication (basic-training, recall, etc.), walks, dog park outings, etc. and most importantly, lots of lovin'! I am a musician, property manager, (former massage therapist) who works from home and keeps a daily schedule of caring (feedings, exercise/play/socializing/outings, naps, etc.) for my own and my clients dogs, while keeping up with my creative practices and administrative duties. Dog care is well-integrated into my daily life. After morning feedings, we usually load up into the car and head to the dog park for 1-1.5 hours. Once we return home, the pups generally take a nap for at least 1.5-2.5 hours (allowing me to get some work done and/or to run errands). Once awake, we typically do some playing in the yard and/or training (sometimes involving Charlies Chips Treat - no/low calorie treats). After about an hour or so of play, I shift to preparing dinner for myself and also the dogs, if there are special wet food protocol requests from the owners. After feedings, we spend another hour or so outside before quieting down for the night. I usually play some soft music to settle my own energies down and the dogs seems to really appreciate that too as they tend to fall asleep to it and sleep comfortably throughout the night. I also do a late night potty break at around 10pm, just to avoid accidents throughout the night. Safety is priority to me. My home is set up specifically for their safety and my own. Cleanliness is also an important part of safety and I tend to do that throughout the day (sweep/vacuum, spot-mop, wash bedding, etc.). I have a large fenced in back yard, kiddie pool, lots of toys, and sunning deck for the dogs. The second bedroom has a day bed that the dogs sleep on, as well as multiple dog beds and the couch, if they prefer. I have water bowls in multiple locations throughout the house and backyard. I utilize room dividers at feedings, if necessary, or if I sense a dogs need for space away from the pack.
About: I’ve had pets in my life since childhood, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for pets is second nature to me. Since moving to the U. S. 20 years ago, I’ve looked after friends and neighbors’ dogs, including diabetic and senior pups that need extra love and attention. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m a UCLA nursing student currently doing clinical hours only three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the day. That means I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and long walks. Whether it’s daily check-ins or longer stays, I can easily fit pet care into my schedule and make sure your pup feels loved and cared for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I have a fenced yard and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. I also stick closely to their usual schedule. No matter the place, your pet gets consistent, loving care.
About: Every dog is different and that’s how I approach care. Whether working with a high energy puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs patience, gentle handling and extra attention, I tailor my approach to fit their personality and needs. I provide the highest level of attention and communication. I treat every dog like they’re my own by paying attention to their behavior and comfort, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I work fully remote at home with the flexibility to take breaks as needed, go for walks and attend to your dogs needs at any given time. I have a fenced yard for outside activity while my home provides a comfortable space for your dog. I live right next to a big park that’s ideal for dogs.
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.

“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
About: Hello! My name is Leo, and I have been in and out of dog-related jobs since I was fifteen years old. I am only twenty years old and a college student; however, my passion for animals (specifically dogs) is what drives me the most, and I would be as committed as necessary to your pet in all cases. I would provide your pet with premium care to the fullest extent! I worked at AlphaDog Lodging (a dog boarding/daycare) for just under two years, followed by a 9-month unpaid intership at Camino Alto Veterinary Clinic. I have also recently been dog-sitting quite a bit, my longest stay being two weeks. My experience in animal care is to achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a Veterinarian, and Rover gives me the opportunity to keep working hard for you and your pet! June 23rd - July 26th: Free every day, anytime. July 28th-August 28th: Downtown Santa Cruz, available all day Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. Unfortunately, gone from 9am-4pm on Tues and Thurs (can stop by at noon though). Can do any night, if you are comfortable with your dog being alone for four hours at a time. August 28th-September 23rd: Downtown Santa Cruz, free any day, any time! Santa Cruz: I live in a studio attached to a house with a large front and back yard. Our backyard is fenced in and quite exciting for dogs to explore. We get lots of birds and squirrels, and sometimes a neighbor's cat comes by to visit. I would have your pet stay in my room on a cot, bed, or crate (I only have a cot and a small dog bed here). Kenwood: I live on a large property with my parents, where I could bring your pet home, and they could run forever. Everything is fenced in here; however would prefer bringing a smaller dog home. I am very open to staying in your home as well, for a greater price.
“I contacted Ronald last minute because I couldn't walk my dog, and even though we didn't have a chance to do a meet and greet, he was patient with my dog. We're excited about more walks with him in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but I’ve had experience taking care of dogs on a dairy farm which got a little rowdy at times. I’m currently starting a job that will hopefully be full-time But might be a little shaky for a couple months so I’ll have a lot of free time to walk your dogs! I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly for your puppy dog to play with. And if they just need a walk I will make sure that that puppy will have the best sleep after.
“Alex has been incredibly reliable and caring with my dog. They’re gentle, kind, and clearly love what they do. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of pet you can think of. I started using Wag a few years ago and fell in love. Each has a specific personality and all are very loving. I have watched my dad’s boxer, my mom’s shitzu, wag customers’ dogs from lab to terrier, a few friends’ cats and most recently began caretaking my own kitten. I have worked with dogs and cats that need to take medication and crate training as well. I am excited to meet your furry friends! I make my own schedule and currently have Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays pretty open. I also can fit in a drop in or quick walk when I am not in meetings! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats while their owner was away. The most important thing to remember is a. Always refer to the owners manual they have given you! And b. Just give them love and keep their routine the same and you’re golden :)
“Amanda was great. I needed a last minute dog walker as I was leaving for a work trip and she was immediately responsive and was able to connect with my neighbor to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using her in the future, as needed, and would highly recommend.”
About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.
“It was awesome going away and knowing Peter was in the comfort of his own home with a very caring person. Courtney sent us updates and pictures/videos the entire time. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: We have a friendly dog, Riggins, who loves to play outside in our large fenced in yard. When she gets tired we have a dog door into our living room with a bed and water and toys! Riggins loves having friends come over and play with her! We can also separate the dogs if they need their alone time. Our yard has shade and sunny areas and has a very large area to run around! The fence is around 6'-0" high. So much room for fun! I work from home so I watch after them all day! Our dog Riggins likes to listen to music and is very social able once she says hello! Would love to meet you and your dog to see if they get along with Riggins our dog! I work from home so I am always around for the dogs. They have free range of the yard and a dog door if they need to come inside. We have gates if they need some alone time as well. We have a fenced in yard with a four year old dog and we have a son who is just about 3 years old and we love having friends over! We have numerous beds and water bowls for everyone to use
“Merrill kept our German shepherd very happy in our absence by walking her and giving her lots of TLC. Thank you, Merrill, for letting us take our trip without worrying about Emma's wellbeing, and for making her time with you fun! We appreciated the updates and photos. Next time we need dog-sitting services, we won't hesitate to be in touch, and Emma will be very happy to see you again!”

“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Lauren and Ben took such kind care of Mira for a few days. Their home is full of family warmth and happy dogs, and Mira felt right at home. Communication was smooth and easy, and Lauren sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely bring Mira back when I’m in the area. Thank you so much!”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Robin took care of my beloved Scooter. Scooter is a rescue and I had never trusted anyone else to care for him. Judging from his behavior when I picked him up, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. Scooter bonded with Robin and made new friends, including her own friendly dog, Zuko. Robin showed great flexibility and accommodated Scooter’s quirky eating habits and adapted to his needs to see that he was having a great time and was well cared for. Robin is a GREAT communicator, sending daily updates, photos, etc to let me know that Scooter was doing well, what he was up to, who he was playing with, etc. All in all, Robin gets 10 stars on a five star scale. Scooter can’t wait to go back on his next vacation.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sandy! From the moment she picked Lucy up, I felt completely confident that she was in great hands. Her communication was prompt and friendly, and the regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to find someone as trustworthy and attentive as Sandy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future—thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“Our Golden Doodle & our Pug spent 3 nights with Brandie and her family. The Boys got to play with other dogs in the backyard and be loved by Brandies family! Thank you Brandie, I know they will want to come play for the day very soon!”
“Jill has a beautiful home and property for the dogs to run and have fun. Great for socializing your dog. My fearful rescue dog was eight and home and relaxed and happy when I picked her up :)”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Cymantha is a love. She understands dogs and communicated throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable and happy. We have already booked her for another stay!”
“Tucker always love to go to the farm and hang out with his retriever buddies. Jake and Shayla are great, attentive and professional. He gets so much love there, I feel good about leaving him when I’m away.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all. I often watched others dogs in the neighborhood growing up while people were out of town take care of friends and families dogs when they are traveling or at work I work from home and have a golden retriever who I already take care of. He loves to play with other dogs so loves whenever we get to god sit. I have a fenced yard and take the dogs for an afternoon and night walk on my lunch and after work. I have a dog of my own so my house is kept tidy with nothing that would be unsafe for dogs.
“Ace has found his second home!! Lauren & Kari are amazing! We took a weekend trip to Bodega Bay for my wife’s 40th birthday and these amazing people were more than happy to accommodate taking care of my boy Ace. They sent updates and pictures while we were away, and it looked like he had an amazing time making new doggo friends. I will definitely be using their services again knowing he is in awesome hands!”
“Tiffany was great! She was very professional, and her experience was evident throughout the entire process, from the first message to final pickup. She also sent us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated.”
“Katy is a fabulous sitter! Even though she had a busy weekend, she bent over backwards to make sure Pippin was a good fit with her sweet dog, Vision, and would be comfortable in her home. She was friendly and hospitable to us, and loving and attentive to Pippin. She will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”

My family has almost always had at least one dog, if not more. I also had rabbits, hamsters, and birds as a child. I have a lot of experience with vet tech work and can competently administer most medications. Additionally I have a lot of experience with positive reinforcement training I am generally at home though I do leave at times for errands or volunteer work. During the afternoons I'm often taking my kids to various activities. I have a fenced in yard with dog door access to the house. We have one very friendly wheaten terrier who is 2 years old and loves to play with other dogs
