“We love having Rory stay with Janine. This was Rory’s 3rd stay, and she practically dragged me to Janine’s door at drop off. Janine is very communicative, reliable, and creates a safe space for Rory. She’s flexible with last minute requests and arranging drop-off and pick-up, and sends regular photos. Janine pays particular attention to Rory’s needs and comfort, and was very gratified at Rory’s increased comfort upon her third stay. We love Janine and will use her again soon.”
“I am very happy with the treatment my dog got. She gave him a lot of love and many photos were sent to me. She texted me often to give me update. Lucky seemed happy.”
“Nachay has been readily available and accommodating anytime I need her. She sends photos and communicates frequently. I know Enzo is well taken care of and has a great time in her care!”
“First time using Rover and very worried about choosing someone to take care of Luna for the first time. I met Narly and her family and they welcomed Luna with open arms. Luna is usually cautious with strangers but right away she warmed up to Narly and her Shih Tzu Princess. Narly always updated me with pictures how Luna was doing which gave me a piece of mind for the days I was gone. I will definitely use Narly again in the future. I highly recommend.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“Pam did an outstanding job looking after Maggie, our beagle! Pam's real affection for dogs was obvious from the start and her attention to Maggie's well being was top shelf. We really appreciated the pictures and videos showing Maggie to be very comfortable in her environment and well cared for. If Maggie could speak, I am sure she would howl her approval of Pam!”
“Shushma was the perfect care taker for our girl Lola. She was so quick to respond to all our messages and was so easy and friendly to work with. I felt so comfortable with leaving Lola at her house and will be happy to return.”
“Vanessa and her family took amazing care of my dog Timber. Timber is a medium large rescue with a lot of energy and still learning social manners but they handled him super well. We brought him over for play dates with their dog and boarding. Their backyard was perfect to play with him in. They made Timber feel right at home when we left him there for a few nights. They were so knowledgeable and caring. We plan to bring him back for a longer stay.”
“Kierra is AMAZING! Incredibly friendly, warm and caring. She genuinely loves caring for pups and puts so much energy and thought into it. Don’t think twice about booking with her!”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“Vanessa was great with Domino! He was comfortable the moment we got there for our meet and greet. She has two dogs of her own and watched a couple others during his stay, which he thoroughly enjoyed. She definitely spoiled him too. I'm surprised he even came home. Vanessa was also very good at sending pictures and videos. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“My Claire stayed with Samantha. She gave Claire space to settle down and get comfortable in a environment that was not home. I felt at ease leaving Claire with Samantha. I received pictures even it though it was slightly over a 24 stay. I would totally recommend Samantha!”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter, Samantha! She took such great care of our dog, Nugget, while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and the cutest pictures, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Nugget was having a great time—he went on plenty of walks and got to play outside often, which he absolutely loves. We could tell he was happy, well cared for, and in very good hands. Thank you so much for treating Nugget like family! We highly recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Michael watched our dog for his very first overnight stay — three nights total — and, as always, did a wonderful job. He made us feel completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Michael is attentive, reliable, and truly great with animals. We couldn’t ask for better care and are so grateful for his help!”
“Alba is amazing! She took tender loving care of my poodle Jackson. She took Jackson for long walks and played with him in her yard. She even took special care of him during the Fourth of July fireworks as he was scared and she comforted him. She’s great about sending videos so you can see exactly what your little loved one is doing all day. I highly recommend Alba!!!”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Alex was beyond amazing! He was so good with my fur baby! He always communicate with us, sent us videos, pictures was super punctual and helpful with some training tips! I never once felt stressed and he went above and beyond! We appreciated everything he did for us while we were on vacation! Don’t hesitate to book him he is wonderful!!!! Alex thank you so much!!! You will always be my go to!!!”

“Victoria was fantastic and went above and beyond, even coming early for a meet and greet with us and our cats. She provided plenty of photos eveyday and it was clear the cats enjoyed having her there- would absolutely recommend Victoria for anyone looking for an excellent and professional catsitter!”
“Karla took care of our cats at short notice. She was punctual and responsive. She communicated every day and sent us photos of our cats daily to let us know how they were doing. We really appreciate the care she gave them.”
“Casey is the best! We were away for two weeks and she stopped by to feed and play with our cat Oliver every day. He really enjoyed the company and she’d send photos every day. Thank you Casey!”
“Helena and her girls have been a blessing! Our kitties love it when they stop by to give them love and affection while we're away. She has gone above and beyond to care for our fur babies and we would definitely use her services again when we take another trip!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first time working with Kristin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! 🐱💙🐱💕 From the moment I met her, she had such a gentle, kind demeanor that I immediately felt comfortable trusting her with my two cats, Oreo and Nala. She even started taking notes during our meet-and-greet, which I truly appreciated. Even though I already had detailed written instructions, it showed me that she was prepared, proactive, and genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly. 📝✨ Kristin followed every instruction carefully and thoroughly, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. The biggest surprise of all was my super shy girl, Nala. She normally takes quite a while to warm up to new people, but by just the second visit she was already out and about hanging out with Kristin! 🥹💕 That is a huge deal and really speaks to how patient, calm, and caring she is with animals. Knowing that Oreo and Nala were comfortable, happy, and so well cared for made my trip so much more enjoyable. This was such a wonderful first experience that I’ve already booked future visits with Kristin! 🐾❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, attentive pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my babies! 🥰”
“Kenny is wonderful. He is reliable, caring and engaged with my cat Keanu to keep him safe and entertained while we were away. He responded to my questions and provided feedback daily. I hope to use his services again”
“Juliana is amazing! She is thoughtful, kind, responsible, and my kitties loved her! She kept me very updated while I was away with photos and expressed any concerns or questions to me right away. She genuinely cared for my cats like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lisa was so amazing with my cat! She put me at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. 10/10 will be the first person I go to the next time I need someone to watch my cat. My cat adores her and her professional was fantastic. Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oceanside
“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time. The pickup and drop-off process was also smooth and convenient, which I loved. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely trust Michelle with Milo again!”

We took a day trip out of the state and weather delays/traffic made us later than the scheduled pickup time but Nachay made it easy. She also sent us pictures throughout the day and kept in contact with us. Will definitely be looking to book again! Thank you so much for taking good care of Bentley :)”

I have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I provide a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while you're away. Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and supervision in a safe, fenced yard. I care for pets in a calm, safe home environment and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and are supervised throughout the day. I adjust care based on each dog’s needs and any instructions provided by the owner.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit or walk. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply taking their time to sniff every tree, I’ll make sure they have a great experience. As a teacher, I am currently off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I am available all days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. During the school year, my availability is more limited, but I will always update my calendar in advance so pet parents can plan accordingly. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to help animals feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure to provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and send updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own , and sadly one of my dogs became handicap 3 years ago , he had surgery for his Ivdd but it didn’t work , so I got him wheels taking care of a handicap dog can be challenging, but thank god my diesel is happy and we got a second dog , that he has company when we are not home , and she is his best companion. Aside from that I did train 3 puppies, I just really love dogs and anyone can be calm and stress free , when I’m walking , or sitting their dog :) My schedule is pretty open , I work part time at the moment , and take care of my toddler . So I’m pretty flexible. I create a safe , and fun environment , in my home for my dogs , and dogs I take care of . I have a 10 year experience that can help insure good care of your pets :)
About: I have taken care of dogs for years. I have walked, fed, taken care of many dogs throughout the years. I love to take them on walks, okay with them in my enclosed backyard and snuggle on the couch! I am available all weekend including holidays. I will take them on walks and keep the schedule you set for your pet including feeding schedule. Fenced in yard with a gate. I allow dogs to go on couch and beds. Their is no room off limits. We will play and get plenty of attention here.
About: I have been taking care and loving them since I was 15. Love taking care of them there is nothing I wouldn’t do to make them comfortable. I am a full time employee, but flex able hours so I could work around to be there for yours pets. I love pets. They are family and should be treated as family. We can’t wait to meet your special friend. Any special needs or request will be happily accommodated. My home is fenced around and I have grass at the front so they could enjoy. My kids love playing and hanging out with them as well.I love taking them on walk which I enjoy best.

“We love having Rory stay with Janine. This was Rory’s 3rd stay, and she practically dragged me to Janine’s door at drop off. Janine is very communicative, reliable, and creates a safe space for Rory. She’s flexible with last minute requests and arranging drop-off and pick-up, and sends regular photos. Janine pays particular attention to Rory’s needs and comfort, and was very gratified at Rory’s increased comfort upon her third stay. We love Janine and will use her again soon.”
“Vanessa and her family took amazing care of my dog Timber. Timber is a medium large rescue with a lot of energy and still learning social manners but they handled him super well. We brought him over for play dates with their dog and boarding. Their backyard was perfect to play with him in. They made Timber feel right at home when we left him there for a few nights. They were so knowledgeable and caring. We plan to bring him back for a longer stay.”
“Kierra is AMAZING! Incredibly friendly, warm and caring. She genuinely loves caring for pups and puts so much energy and thought into it. Don’t think twice about booking with her!”
“Michelle is amazing! We are new to the area and had a negative experience with a different sitter previously. I was so nervous to try someone new. We found Michelle and I am SO grateful!! I honestly think our dog didn’t want to leave her house. She sent tons of photos and updates. Our Great Dane is sensitive to new situations and will refuse to eat. Michelle waited with her during each meal so she would eat. She truly went above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough.”
“Vanessa was great with Domino! He was comfortable the moment we got there for our meet and greet. She has two dogs of her own and watched a couple others during his stay, which he thoroughly enjoyed. She definitely spoiled him too. I'm surprised he even came home. Vanessa was also very good at sending pictures and videos. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“My Claire stayed with Samantha. She gave Claire space to settle down and get comfortable in a environment that was not home. I felt at ease leaving Claire with Samantha. I received pictures even it though it was slightly over a 24 stay. I would totally recommend Samantha!”
“Michael watched our dog for his very first overnight stay — three nights total — and, as always, did a wonderful job. He made us feel completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Michael is attentive, reliable, and truly great with animals. We couldn’t ask for better care and are so grateful for his help!”
“Alex was beyond amazing! He was so good with my fur baby! He always communicate with us, sent us videos, pictures was super punctual and helpful with some training tips! I never once felt stressed and he went above and beyond! We appreciated everything he did for us while we were on vacation! Don’t hesitate to book him he is wonderful!!!! Alex thank you so much!!! You will always be my go to!!!”
“Super caring and considerate. She took such good care of my pup and was very attentive and friendly. She sent regular pictures and videos and I knew my dog was happy eating and well taken care of”
“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Carla and her family. They were looked after so well and seemed so happy after their stay. We look forward to having them stay with Carla again!”
“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Stephanie is an incredible pet sitter! We are so grateful to her for taking such great care of our dog (1 year, 8 months old) for a weekend stay. We have a high-energy dog who requires a lot of attention (e.g., play time/soccer in the backyard and walks) - Stephanie truly went above and beyond for our dog. Stephanie also constantly checked in with multiple photos every day (during the weekend stay), provided updates, and followed our detailed instructions. We can tell our dog enjoyed his time with Stephanie as well! Thank you very much to Stephanie for being a kind-hearted, loving, attentive, reliable, and wonderful dog sitter!”
“Judy is hands down the best baby sitter for our JJ! She showers him with lots of love and attention! We have used her services many times and can’t complain! Time to rebook soon :)”
“Brigette was fantastic. She’s super responsive, even for a last minute request, and was an absolute lifesaver for us. She was great with our dog and we’re looking forward to working with her in the future!!”
“Amazing amazing amazing!!!!! I booked with Ingrid on short notice (literally a few hours) and she took such great care of my 2 girls. Very communicative, great space for the dogs, gave them lots of cuddles. Overall excellent experience and will rebook in the future.”
