Gabby is so sweet and took such good care of Penny! Loved the photos/videos of her walks. We picked up a very happy dog and would definitely use Gabby again.

About: I have been watching dogs for a long time and used to do Rover in LA with my sister. I added pics in my bio of past dogs I used to watch. I am also a very proud auntie to my sisters dog who I watch regularly. I haven't met a dog I don't love and they usually love me as well. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I work from home so I am at the house 90 percent of the day. I leave for my workout class in the mornings but besides that, I am home. It would be great to have a pup to keep me company. I love dogs! I take good care of them. I am home most of the day and can give them love and attention. I have a small backyard in case they want to explore. I am also able to walk them multiple tiles a day since I am home with with them.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, back home I have four dogs, one beagle, one husky, one labrador and one border collie so I know how to take care of different breeds. I've also had my neighbors, friends and cousins rely on me to care for their dogs, feed them, take them on walks and play with them. I really love dogs and I miss my dogs every single day! I am a full time student but I have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on the mornings from 6-10 and after 3pm, and open availability whole weekend! I am always on the look out for them and take them on walks/play with them. I can crate them if needed and also feed/take medicine if needed.

Ruth is a very sweet and responsible pet sitter, and a true animal lover! She will treat your pet like her own and give them all the loving and cuddles while you're gone. I will definitely be using Ruth in the future for watching Ripley- I could tell Ripley had a good visit to Ruths house. :)

I’ve known Konrad for years, and he is one of the most responsible, caring, and patient people I know—especially when it comes to animals. He has a deep love for dogs and an intuitive understanding of their needs, whether it’s exercise, training, or just giving them affection. He’s currently raising a Doberman puppy with so much dedication and care, ensuring he gets the right balance of discipline, socialization, and playtime. Konrad is also incredibly reliable and detail-oriented, so you can trust him to follow any special instructions and treat your pet like his own. If you’re looking for someone who will not only care for your dog but truly connect with them, Konrad is the perfect choice.

About: Pet sitting has always been super rewarding for me, i grew up on a farm so it is in my nature to connect with them:) I am currently enrolled in on campus classes at SBCC, just shoot me a message with your times/ days and i will work with you to coordinate everything :) When i am pet-sitting i prefer to be provided with a list of your animals routine, what time do they go out? feeding times? their favorite toys and places to walk etc! I am a student so my preference is sitting at the clients homes, or sitting them at my home. i love thorough communication with my clients and prefer to know what i am welcome to in the home, where to go etc. (I will always respect client boundaries!)

Svetlana was the most incredible dog sitter for my sweet pup:) she was prompt at responding the entire stay & was able to agree to watch Toby with short notice. She kept me updating with sweet photos, and was even able to accommodate an additional day at the last minute. I returned from a weekend away to a very happy, (& clean!) pup. I could tell her & her boyfriend were very caring and attentive with him. I will definitely be booking with them the next time I need a sitter! Highly recommend.

Fantastic dog boarders. Our dog was walked, played with, fed and very well taken care of. In fact, our dog had so much fun that she immediately curled up to take a nap the second she got home!

Ryan is loveable and the ultimate animal person. His house is completely animal friendly and he makes sure I don't have to worry about my dog. Ryan takes everything in stride and also just a great human being. House is secure and good parking for drop off and pick up. Everything was returned organized. Only thing is now my dog is spoiled...or more spoiled hahaha
