“I am so picky about who I leave my 2 dogs with, even with my own family. We left our dogs with Khrystyna for a whole week and were truly impressed! She kept us so comfortable everyday with how our dogs were doing overall. Great communication constantly! We got updates everyday with pictures and videos. We were also running late to pick up our dogs due to a long drive back, and she was super flexible with us. She’s so professional and genuinely such a sweet soul. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!!! Her son also helps her take care of the dogs and he loves spending time with them! If you can find anyone to care for your dogs, choose Khrystyna. You will not be disappointed! 🥰🙏🏼”

“Dana was a wonderful doggy sitter! She sent me daily updates including photos. I am always scared to leave Mini for a long period of time because she tends to not eat, but Dana made sure she ate and sent me a video of her chowing down. Thank you Dana for taking great care of Mini and giving me peace of mind!”
“From the moment Natasha and her family laid their eyes on Pudding I knew my dog would be in good hands. They even took her to the beach to play! Everything went well and Pudding looked really happy when I went to pick her up. I definitely won't hesitate to come back again!”

“Susan walked our two dogs for a week each morning for an hour. The last morning she took them to her house and dog sat them that day, over night and then all day the next day. During this time she walked them - WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR ANYONE BETTER. She’s hard working, let them roam her house freely and treated our dogs like they were her own.I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her in the furture”
About: Ive had furry best friends since the day I was born, I know how special they are! Making other people and pets happy makes me happy. I currently have open availability, I’m taking college courses online and summer is approaching. I’m indifferent to getting up early or staying up late for pet care. I have 3 dogs, one super needy frenchie and two crazy golden retrievers. I also have a black kitty. I’ve seen it all and done it all from house sitting for weeks to a simple walk around the neighborhood.
“Oso seems very happy and well cared for after his stay. Roxanna sent me updates, pictures and videos which really helped me feel at ease knowing he was doing well while we were gone. We will definitely be a repeat client!”

“Patricia was extremely attentive and caring for my dog Toffee as if she was her own. I usually don’t travel because of my senior dog and her needs but Patricia really put all of that to ease. Highly recommend her and would definitely re-book!”
“What a wonderful family! Daisy was well cared for and loved on. I appreciate all the videos and great communication during Daisy's stay. Daisy enjoyed her time. Looking forward to her next stay.”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars for Jolie, I would, she’s gives a genuine love to my babies while we are away. She made sure to give me an update everyday. And she’s very flexible. I can tell that my furry babies had a great time with her and I’m confident and rest assured that my babies are in good hands whenever we are away. She even gave a hug to both of my babies when we picked them up! Thanks Jolie!”
“Cammy and Salvador went above and beyond with taking care of guapo. Our dog is getting older and more attached to us, meaning that he still gets a bit anxious in a new environment. We were out of town for a 3 day weekend and they were sending pictures and updates of the whole stay. We were so grateful to find them as our pet sitter for our guapo! We highly recommend this lovely couple!”

About: I’m a cat mom to two lovely cats I rescued from my backyard when they were about 4–5 weeks old. Caring for them through every stage of kittenhood taught me firsthand what cats need as they grow, especially patience, consistency, and gentle handling. That experience shaped how I care for every cat I look after.
“Annabella continues to be such a friendly, helpful and reliable caregiver for our kitties. We can always have peace of mind knowing she will be there for our two cats and give them the care and attention we would hope for. THANK YOU!”

“Angelica did a great job taking care of my cat Butters! Although he gets skittish around new people she was very patient with him and communicated with me throughout the whole visit. Recommended!”
“Van is genuinely the best cat sitter i’ve ever hired. I leave a lot of instructions and am very particular about who house sits, as my cats are my kids and one has to take medication, which can be tricky. Van followed all the instructions perfectly and sent detailed updates twice a day with pics and videos! you can tell how much she loves cats! she really kept an eye on my cat with a health condition and i felt she cared for him like he was her own. my other cat is a little grumpy and she gave him all the space and time he needed to warm up. it felt as though i left a good friend watching my cats, and i can’t recommend her enough!!!”

“We were very lucky to have found Brooke! We needed a last minute sitter that could watch our pup for the entire day with a late-night pickup, and she was happy to accommodate us. She was very communicative throughout the stay, and it was such a relief knowing our dog was in good hands with all the pictures & updates that were sent to us. Brooke is an absolute gem - we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Chase took amazing care of Mocha. He took many photos throughout the day and updated me on how she was doing. He accommodated some of my specific requests which was very much appreciated!

“Caira took such great care of my puppy! She was flexible with my schedule and cared for him like I would myself. I was stress free when I left him with her knowing he was in great hands.”
“Marcelo and his wife provided exceptional care for my dog, Tobie. Despite Tobie's initial protectiveness and territorial behavior, they persevered, demonstrating consistent effort and understanding. They remained undeterred by his attempts to withdraw or display warning signals. Consequently, Tobie acclimated to their presence quickly. I received a text message confirming his well-being shortly after departing. Upon my return, Tobie showed reluctance to leave, even glancing back to see if Marcelo's wife was accompanying us. I highly recommend their services, particularly for owners of protective dogs. Their patience and commitment to ensuring Tobie's comfort were truly commendable.”
“This was Frida's second stay and I know she loves it here because she literally ran to the front door without looking back. She looks like she had a blast with Molly and the other dogs today. Thanks for all the great photos! See you next time.”

“Tanya was absolutely great! I felt completely at ease leaving Otis with her and she sent me multiple pictures and video of Otis being VERY well taken care of. My pup has anxiety being left alone so being able to leave him with Tanya and Shadi gave me the piece of mind I needed.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of affection. I always focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m fully available on weekends from Friday evenings to Monday mornings and can provide consistent care, regular walks, feeding, and supervision. Great for dogs who need extra attention or routine. I’ll customize my schedule perfectly to fit your needs 🐾 I aim to create a safe, clean, and loving environment where dogs feel at home. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I never leave dogs unattended in unsafe situations. I treat every dog with patience and respect, just like I would my own.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 25 years. I use to be a zookeeper for 8 years and have worked with exotic animals for over 10. I have basic training skills and am good with large dogs. I am currently working part time and have most days free and evenings as well. Local neighborhood walks or pick ups would be ideal, but not necessary. I currently do not have any other pets. I do have a fenced in back yard and live in a house. Bathroom breaks can happen frequently when boarding.
“Renata did an amazing job taking care of my 16 year old pug, Jasper. I do Rover myself, and have high expectations about pet care. She went above and beyond to learn how to express Jasper’s bladder since he can no longer pee on his own. She sent me lots of pictures, and when I picked him up, I could tell he had a great day by the smile on his face. I will be using her boarding services next for an upcoming week long trip because I know my senior baby is in good hands.”

“Victoria was great! Our dog is like a child to us so it's hard to trust anyone but we felt immediately comfortable with Victoria. She was communicative and punctual. Our pup loved her, too! Will definitely be using again!”
“Kyle is a true joy to work with. He is a top notch professional who has taken care of Randy, a very energetic 2-year old Border Collie for the past week. Kyle is punctual, courteous and a huge help to us. Randy comes home from his walk happy and tired out. Kyle is now part of our family and we look forward to many more happy times together!”
