Saul and little Baffy took care of my 2 yorkie pups. He couldn’t have done a better job! They both understood the yorkie temperament, and I loved that Baffy became friends with them. By the time I arrived home, they were both exhausted which indicated they had plenty of walks and play time. I had specific feeding instructions (my yorkies eat organ meat) and had no issues following them, including monitoring the three of them during their meal. Thank you, Saul and Baffy!

We were having a hard time finding someone to watch our dog Casanova for our wedding weekend. He was in the county shelter for over a year before we adopted him and he can be very picky about who he likes. He’s a big boy and can be intimidating as well. Leanna and Julio were amazing!!!! They were so great with him he just loved them both. They came for a meet and greet and Cass almost immediately crawled in their laps. They have such good mellow energy and they definitely made him and us super comfortable. They sent us a ton of pictures over the weekend to give us updates too which was great as well. We will for sure be using them as our go to sitters from now on and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Sage was great! She stayed overnight at our home with our 6 month old pup, Oakley, and immediately put us at ease. She was communicative from the start, made sure we went over all care details before we left, and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout the stay, she sent several check-in texts with photos, which we truly appreciated, especially since this was our first night away. She paid attention to detail, followed Oakley’s routine, and left our home neat and clean. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Dinh was so wonderful with my dog Marlowe! Dinh came by and did a meet and greet and sent update photos and text updates on how he did while I had to be away for a night. Marlowe loved his night getting special 1 in 1 attention and we so appreciate finding such a reliable and skilled pup sitter. Thank you and Marlowe’s looking forward to your next stay and hang time!

Boone was actually depressed and looking for Taressa after we came home. He must’ve really loved her being there with him. She is a very sweet and caring woman. I would definitely love for her to sit with our Boone anytime.

About: Hi there! I'm a very paw-sitive person with a lifelong love for animals. I've been caring for pets my entire life, and was lucky enough to grow up with a mom who's a retired veterinary technician. Over the years, she taught me not only how to love animals, but how to truly care for them; spotting when they're uncomfortable or unwell, giving medications, and understanding their needs beyond the basics. In my household, dogs have always been more than pets, they're family. I treat every animal in my care the same way I treat my own, with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I'm also a strong communicator and believe great pet care includes great updates. I make it a priority to keep owners informed with messages, photos, and check-ins, and I'm always responsive if you have questions or specific requests. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's happiness. I love long walks and hikes, beach adventures, dog snuggles, throwing their favorite toy, or simply giving a great belly scratch if that's what they need that day. Whether your pup is high-energy or a couch cuddler, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around consistent walks and check ins, and I’m used to being dependable and on time. I enjoy building regular routines with pets so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by following their established routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or jogging appropriate to their age and energy level, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I focus on both their physical and emotional needs and adjust care based on each pet’s personality. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, and I follow all instructions closely. I also communicate clearly and provide updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Growing up on a farm in Texas taught me a lot lessons about working with and caring for many different animals! Growing up, my family has always been surrounded by dogs, which I was responsible for when my parents would be gone. While I currently don’t have any pets of my own, I miss the feeling of being around animals and would love the opportunity to watch over yours! I’m currently active duty in the US Navy, but with my level of freedom I have nights and weekends completely free! I’d enjoy spending that time watching over your 4 legged family members! I live in a safe community that’s very pet-friendly, and I’m also capable of protecting your home/animals if necessary. I have a dependable roommate I can call on if any problems may arise.

About: I grew up in a loving, multi pet household that has included multiple dogs at a time - so animal care has always been a big part of my life. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or simply spending quality time with animals, I’m comfortable and confident with a wide range of sizes and personalities. I treat every pet like family and understand that each one has unique needs and quirks. I’m currently building my portfolio as I pursue graphic design internships. I recently graduated from CSU Channel Islands and am looking for part-time work while continuing to grow my creative skills. I’m also seeking a fun and fulfilling side job, and spending time with pets feels like the perfect fit. My availability is very open, and I’m able to comfortably accommodate your pet’s needs into my daily routine. I prioritize a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pets will feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pets routine as closely as possible, Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. I pay close attention to their behaviors and needs to ensure they are happy and relaxed. trust and respect are at the heart of how I care for every animal - I believe in patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection.

Leslie was the perfect sitter to take care of Phife and our home. Not only did she offer to arrive a few hours early, but she stayed a few hours late until we returned home after some delays. She was very communicative & extremely thorough in making sure she had every detail about our dog. We felt so comfortable leaving Phife in her care. She also kept the house in tip-top shape; it didn't even feel like someone stayed here after she left. 10/10 would rebook again / recommend to anyone!

River was absolutely fantastic!! This time she stayed two nights with our two cats and our 3 year old dog. Our pup has had some trust issues with people and River really took the time to get to know him and build that trust with him before staying. She has earned all of our trust and did an amazing job with all of our fur babies. She’s very communicative and sends tons of pictures while she’s here. We felt so comfortable and very happy with how things well went during her stay. We will definitely be rebooking with River, and love that we can count on her so confidently!!

We had Nancy take care of our house, dog, fish, leopard gecko and plants while we were away for a week. When we came back, the house was cleaner than we left it and all pets and plants were well-fed and happy. We really appreciated her daily updates, and that she took our dog out more than we get the chance to.

Elijah was amazing! I often go on business trips and my guy, Monroe, is 14 and has special needs due to health issues. Elijah was great with Monroe, walking every day, administering meds, special food requirements and taking care of the house and updating me twice a day through texts and photos. I recommend him highly and the next time I go out of town on business I will be reaching out to him again.
