“Karla was fantastic with my pup, Teddy! She was very friendly, communicative, and clearly took the time to learn about Teddy/ask questions about his care and routine. We felt extremely comfortable leaving Teddy in her hands and that peace of mind is priceless! Thank you, Karla, and I highly recommend her!”


“Aloysius is a nice dude with good energy! He kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout my day. My pup had a great day with him. Love that he takes the dogs on walks too. Highly recommend 🙂”



“I am a regular with Dustin. Kobe enjoys himself every time and he is very flexible. Last minute or far in advance, Dustin has always been a good communicator. Please use his services, he is great!”


“My two boys, Blue and Bruce, had a great time with Alexa and her pup Milo! I appreciated the meet-and-greet that happened prior to the full day visit, along with the updates day of. Thank you!”


“Audrey was kind to accept our request to watch our dogs on very short notice. We had to drop them off at 6am and pick them up close to midnight, and she was super flexible with us. We are so grateful! She sent us photos of our dogs and took them out to walk and play. Thanks for taking great care of them, Audrey!”


“Jinni was super responsive and able to accommodate my pup last minute. She made sure to update me and was super flexible with my schedule as well as being patient with my dog. I will definitely book her again in the future!”


“It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone unfamiliar but after meeting Dave and Astro, I could immediately tell he was as much of a dog lover as me. Each time I picked up my pup, he was happy as a clam and could tell the level of love and care he received was commensurate to what I’d give him. If you are even remotely hesitant to leave the care of your pet with someone else, look no further than Dave. Your pup will be in excellent hands!”


“If I could give Melissa 100 stars I 1000% would. I left my Dog Cinnamon with her the past few days while I was at work and she has come back a completely different dog(in a good way). Melissa does a great job at keeping you updated with how your pup is doing via pictures and upon pick up breaks down how the full day was. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a person to care for their dog during the day.”


“Cherine was great! She able to accommodate a last minute daycare request and was very communicative and flexible. My dog got along well with her dog Maya and came home happy and tired! I plan to work with her again!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Mo and Eugene! They took such amazing care of my two Frenchies, Manny and Jimmy. Not only were they incredibly kind and attentive, but they went above and beyond to make sure my boys were comfortable and happy. They took them on walks and even brought a wagon with their water in case they got too warm or tired to walk back. A sweet and smart touch, especially for flat-faced pups like mine. I felt comfortable knowing Manny and Jimmy were in such caring hands. Highly recommend Mo and Eugene to anyone looking for loving, reliable sitters!”


“We rarely ever leave our furbaby which was hard but Julia made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Harvey was in good hands! She was great with Harvey, very kind and gentle just how we wanted someone to be towards our Harvey!”


“We had to go to san diego due to a family emergency and we had no one to leave our robin behind early in the morning. Lucky we found cora and help us to watch him during the day. And when we decide to stay overnight in the hospital she didnt hesitate when i ask if she can watch him overnight. I cant thank her enough and appreciate her effort.”


“Alex took great care of Lucky for our first daycare visit. He looked happy and relaxed when he came home. It makes me very comfortable with Alex boarding him in October. John P”


“Echo always has a great time with Melanie. She gets exercise and gets to play with Queso, who has helped her come out of her shell. Melanie is responsive and timely. Highly recommend!”


About: I know there are lots of choices for sitters, so why me? - I am conveniently located near North Park and a 5 minute walk from a park where we take our pup twice a day. There will also be lots of walks in our dog friendly neighborhood between them. - I work from home so your doggy wont be alone. - we have a (large dog size with a divider) crate and a bed available so you don’t need to haul over yours - I make homemade dog treats that always need new taste testers My schedule is flexible but I shoot for park time in the morning and evening. I’m happy to align to your dogs routine at home as well. I believe in positive reinforcement training and care when taking care of a pet. My own puppy is active and is in peak learning phase so I spend a lot of time training and playing with him.
