About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“David was great with our large and playful doodle. He was very communicative sending lots of updates on how our pup was doing. You can tell that he loves being around dogs and I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Amanda and her family are the best! This was my dogs' second stay with her and they were completely at ease with this familiar, safe environment. Amanda sent photos every day of their stay and their faces said it all- carefree, calm, and happy! Thank you, Amanda & Co. for accommodating us again!”
About: I've worked with dogs and cats since 2008 where I started at the humane society. After working there for four years I worked at at animal hospital for ten years and also owned my own pet sitting business during that time. Being around animals is second nature to me! I am currently a stay at home mom. The only times I am really unavailable is when dropping off my own children at school in between the hours of 730-8am and school pick ups between the hours of 130-230. I have a large fenced in yard. I have a sliding glass door that has a built in doggie door so they animals all have access to enter the home or head outside at their own will. I also have a side yard that is fenced away from my large yard for those animals that need extra time to adjust or would prefer to be on their own instead of with the pack. The side yard has half artificial grass and half concrete that is fully shaded.There is AC in the summer and a heater for the cold winters that your pet can enjoy.
“Bowie did great! She was able to accommodate me last minute when my female dog went into heat right before I was going into surgery. Has a huge fenced in property and a dog herself. Which is great cuz Bowie needed to release all the anxiety he was feeling at home and he had a doggy friend there. He’s been sleeping all day long since we got him back. He must’ve been doing a lot of exploring cuz I’ve never seen him this exhausted 🤣. Thank you again! Will definitely book again.”
“My puppy got lucky with Sarah! He was very well taken care of during his extended stay and Sarah was very understanding and patient with all of us. Our puppy had a chance to meet new friends during his stay as well. We were updated with pictures throughout the day which really gave us peace of mind. We are so happy we found an awesome sitter for our first time!”
“Andrew was wonderful and communicative! He took amazing care of our boys and kept us up to date a lot. This was extremely helpful as one of our dogs is high maintenance and requires medication.”
“Our dog stayed with Kayla and her family while we were on vacation and she took such great care of her! Our dog got lots of attention and cuddles, which she loved, and we got lots of updates and pictures, which we appreciated. Highly recommend Kayla for your pet sitting needs!”
“Until recently, we had never left our pup with someone else overnight. When we met Lucy, we knew she was a great fit for our Kona. After an intro meeting, day long sit and then a 2 night stay, we knew she was ready for a 9 night stay. It took a while for her anxiety and walls to come down, but Lucy was so patient and kind with Kona. We looked forward to our updates, especially the videos and photos, and came to call them ‘Lucy Grams’. It was so comforting to see our girl having fun and Lucy’s two pups are great companions. Would definitely use Lucy any time!”
“Savannah is great and really loves dogs and is very patient/chill. Her Golden, Dax is a sweetheart that will be your doggo's buddy for their stay. What is great about Savannah is that she is a dog owner's dog owner... meaning she has seen it all, is prepared, and communicates very well regarding concerns/issues of your pup. Also, communication overall is very easy (which is so rare these days). She makes it very easy and I will definitely be having my Zooey stay with her again on my next business trip!”
“Doug helped put our minds at ease for our first international family trip since we've had our dog. We knew she was in great hands and always appreciated his daily check-ins assuring us of it!”
“Melissa is incredibly sweet and attentive with my pups. Cares for them exactly the way I would. She is so Communicative and made me feel so comfortable leaving my babies in her care!”
“This was my first time having Anna watch Tank and she was wonderful. Tank is 12 years old and a bit deaf and clingy in his old age. Anna sent me photos and updates everyday and I could definitely tell that Tank was well cared for and loved by her family. I would definitely trust her again with my tanky.”
“Jim was a Great babysitter for my Dog. This was my first time being away from my dog and with a new person. Jim had a great introduction with my Dog when we first met and I think it made a great difference when dropping him off, he wasnt stressed he was happy to go with him. Jim was very responsive and very flexible. He kept me updated and sent me cute pics on how he was doing.”
“Lady had a great time with Kimberly over the weekend. She sent me photos of her everyday to show me what she was up to and how she was doing. Whenever I would text her she was always very punctual and get back to me right away. Lady had a great stay!!”

Annika is a fairy godmother. She cared for Pepe for a week and did above a beyond to keep him exercising. I got photo updates frequently of him at the hooman park, beach, doggy park. In addition, her pad is equipped with doggy lounging beds and beds plenty of space to roam around. Overall she provided Pepe and I great support; I deeply appreciate that. I will be booking with her again✿
Natalie was very kind and professional, she took very good care of my baby Butters and even when I picked her up she showed Natalie some love and gratitude when saying bye. Communication 100% Flexibility 100% Following instructions 100% Kind and professional 100% Responsible 100% Definitely top one of my list next time I need a dog sitter.
Another great stay with Carrie, Coco loves going there and hanging out with all her BFFs! Carrie is extremely accommodating- I had actually booked the wrong nights and needed to extend her stay in the beginning and she was able to take her even though she was fully booked-thank you Carrie! 🙏 you’re a lifesaver!
Highly recommend Chong to take care of your fur babies ! This was my first time leaving my fur babies with Hong as i was traveling from Phoenix and had a few events i needed to attend. She was so accommodating to me and it was greatly appreciated because i also wanted to spend time with my pups. She’s very sweet and I could tell right away that she’s very good with dogs. She also sent a lot of pics and that was also very comforting to know they were doing well. Highly recommend her to take good care of your 🐶 pups
Yani and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Miso. They provided us with regular updates and pictures, as well as valuable feedback about how Miso was doing during his stay. They have a very nice front yard and backyard, which gives Spike (their dog) and Miso separate spaces in case they don’t get along, which I think is very thoughtful and smart. Miso seemed very happy and well taken care of throughout his stay. We felt very comfortable leaving him with Yani and her family and would definitely recommend them!
Bella had a great "camp time" staying with Susan, Richard, and their doggies. They sent daily photos, and gave lots of cuddle time on the couch which Bella loves. Bella was lively and perky at drop off and pick up. We'd definitely trust our fur baby with Susan and Richard!
Kim was amazing and went far above and beyond when she was taking care of Ziggy. She took the time to schedule an intro call, asked thorough questions, and also did a meet and greet beforehand to ensure she would be the right fit. While watching Ziggy, she also went out of her way to sew his toy that he had bitten a hole in, and buy him snacks from the store to help with the process of administering his medication. Kim was also very proactive in her communication and regularly provided updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was on my trip. I will 100% be reaching out to Kim again for any future sitting needs!
Amazing!! They watched my two dogs on short notice and were absolutely amazing! They made me feel so comfortable at drop-off and reassured me that my dogs were in great hands. They sent photos and videos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. They were also incredibly patient and accommodating when we ran a little late for pickup and needed to extend their stay by an hour. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!
Our pups always have a great time with Jillian! They love playing in the yard and relaxing in the house. We know our pups are in great hands with Jillian. Jillian is very responsive and flexible for drop-off/pick-up times. We highly recommend Jillian as our go-to for Rover.

96% of sitters in Vista can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Vista home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Vista.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Vista sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
