“Such a great experience for us and our old lady beagle, Sophie. It was such a relief to know she was being well-cared for in a peaceful family setting with attention and TLC. Highly recommend. Will DEFINITELY look to Liz for excellent service AND peace of mind on our next trip out of town.”

“Tia was so kind and easy to work with, even on short notice. Her and her beautiful family took care of our dog so well. She sent regular picture updates, and I know my dog was very loved while I was away.”


“Wow! Daisy was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute sitter with only about a 2hr warning and not only was she available, she also picked up and dropped off my puppy with no extra charges! Daisy took my pup to the dog park and helped her feel comfortable, gave her treats and lots of play time! I will 10/10 be going back ☺️”

“Kayla is amazing. I can not recommend enough!!! We got updates and pictures of our dog Loki through out his stay with Kayla. He has special care needs as he has epilepsy. Kayla is highly qualified to administer medication and provide needed care in case of a seizure. We are so grateful to have found Kayla. Loki is excited to go back and visit again in the future.”

“Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.”

“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”

“Alex made me feel comfortable leaving our dogs from the start. Her updates and pictures after every visit were wonderful & appreciated! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!

“Tara was so kind and attentive to my kitties. She did everything I asked for and more. I have one cat who is extremely shy, but Tara managed to capture a picture of her, so I was happy to see her while I was away. Tara updated me with pictures the whole time which made me feel that my kitties were in good hands. Thank you!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! My mom and I used to foster cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’ve had experience caring for all kinds of personalities. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I love spending my free time outdoors. Taking your dog for walks and giving them some extra love and attention would be a joy for me! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, pet sitting ECT... I can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of care and attention throughout the day. I care for every pet like they’re part of my own. When I’m in your home, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention. I will always make to keep walks fun but safe. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I am originally from Sioux Falls, SD and just moved back to the Midwest after just over 8.5 years in California. I grew up with a house full of cats and dogs. I moved to California in 2015 and have been house sitting and checking in on friends and coworkers pets since which includes cats, dogs and reptiles. This includes walking, bathing and feeding and the ages ranged from puppy to full grown. I also nannied for a neighbor during 2020 in lieu of her finding a boarder when she had to go back to working in office. I am super outdoorsy and have taken pets to the river or even kayaking. I grew up riding horses and helping around the farm. I love animals and any excuse to take care of them. I have a very flexible lifestyle and can make your schedule fit with mine. I know every pet has it's own needs and love to communicate in order to curate the best experience for your animal. Pet care will vary case by case. I generally meet with the owners as needed and go over expectations and follow any requests or needs outlined. If I have any concerns I work with the owners directly.
