“Tom was wonderful! Our dog is usually really nervous around strangers and we’re pretty used to coming home to a skinnier version of her but she seemed to really enjoy being around him. Would definitely ask him to look after them again.”

“Jupiter was available on very short notice to come over and hang out with our dog for the evening while we were out. Our pup was very happy to have the company!”

“Guillermo was great with my skittish pets. My dog Freyja especially is usually very fearful with strangers and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn't know, but she warmed up to him to the point where he was able to put her harness on and off (which is a big deal- trust me.) The cat ended up cuddling on the couch with him too. And he took good care of the house too, leaving everything clean. He was great!”

“I am beyond happy with the quality of care Julia and Fran provided. They are so nice and accommodating, and it eased my worries knowing that my pups were in good hands while I was away. I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you so much :)”

“Liz was a very caring, kind, and fun caregiver for my two English Shepherds, young Scout and older Molly. She stayed with them for two full weeks, followed my copious dirctions and everything went smoothly. I recommeend her highly!”

“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”

“I hesitate to write this review not because James isn’t the absolute DREAM sitter (spoiler alert, he is) but because I’m worried when I tell you all how fantastic he is, he will be too busy for us to book him again! James has an incredible connection with animals. Our dog is very particular and honestly dislikes most people upon first meeting them but he took to James right away. James spoiled him in the best ways while we were out of town and truly treated him like he was his own. We got the most darling photo and videos updates as well as detailed texts. On top of that, we were so comfortable having him stay at our home. He was respectful and thoughtful and went above and beyond to leave our place somehow even better than we left it. James you are a treasure, Thank you thank you!”


About: I’m a dog lover through and through. I have my own high-energy rescue, Magnum, who keeps me on my toes and has taught me everything about patience, persistence, and unconditional love. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds. Bull Mastiffs, Goldens, Goldendoodles, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, and everything in between. I’m fully comfortable with leash-reactive dogs and strong pullers. My own pup is a serious tugger, so I know exactly how to manage and work with dogs who need a little extra handling. I love going beyond the standard neighborhood loop. If your dog has energy to burn, let’s take them on a hike, find a swimming spot, or go for a solid run. I tailor every outing to your dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s a leisurely sniff-fest or a full-on adventure. Every walk comes with photo updates so you can see your pup living their best life. Your dog is safe, loved, and well-exercised in my hands Available all week, mornings and evenings preferred — I schedule walks early or later in the day to avoid hot pavement and keep your pup safe and comfortable in warm weather. •I always check pavement temp before walks — if it’s too hot for my hand, it’s too hot for paws •Morning and evening scheduling keeps dogs cool and safe •Comfortable handling reactive dogs and strong pullers •Leashed at all times in traffic and public areas •Photo updates every walk so you’re never left wondering
“I am very happy to have had Amanda to take of my tribe this past weekend. I’ve never had to ask Outside of family to help watch my pets and her services provided such comfort and ease. She is someone I will definitely use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets, my own or others ever since I’ve was in kindergarten. I am an ordained Animal Chaplain. I have studied animal behavior and animal ethics. I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
“This was our first time using Julia and we were gone for a week. She did a wonderful job taking care of our golden retriever and our home. She shared pictures, gave updates and even shared concerns when she noticed changes in our dog and worked collaboratively with us to problem solve. She went the extra mile and took care of our trash, ran the dishwasher, washed, dried and made the bed before our return, which was greatly appreciated because I hate laundry! lol. We wouldn't hesitate in having Julia come stay again in the future!”

“Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!”

“Jamie was fantastic! Brody absolutely loved spending time with her. She was attentive to him and his schedule and provided updates, which is so appreciated! Will definitely schedule her for more stays.”

“Cat is such a trustworthy person, I never have to worry when she’s caring for my pets. I have used her multiple times and every time I am so thankful for her help.”


“Julia did a wonderful job watching our senior lab mix in our home for a long weekend. She sent us regular updates about how our dog was doing and was easy to communicate with. He is on several medications that she administered perfectly. She was respectful of our home and left it just like it was when we left (probably better). We would absolutely hire her again.”

I used Jessica before to walk Gabriel, but this was the first time I was leaving him with someone for an extended period of time. She was fantastic with updates sending pics and videos throughout the night. I would definitely use her again and recommend you do as well.

Jasmine is our go-to! She takes wonderful care of our dogs and home. We are so grateful and relaxed when we go on vacation knowing that Jasmine is taking care of our pup-family. I also love getting photos /text updates while we are away. Thank you again Jasmine!

Corinne was very loving and caring with our dog Frankie. She stayed for a full week round the clock and we are very happy with her communication and care. She brushed all the mats out of his fur, snuggled, walked and played with him, and helped him adjust to being without us for an extended period of time. She took care of our turtle and two chickens as well. We highly recommend her!

Veena house-sat for two nights to care for my three dogs and cat. I feel very comfortable to have her as my sitter and will be using her for my upcoming needs! When one of my dogs bolted out the front door, Veena spent nearly 5 hours in the heat to get her safely back inside, staying calm and trying numerous techniques. She kept me updated the entire time. One of my dogs has limited mobility. Veena would carry him outside and gently hold him up so he could use the bathroom, then bathed him so he’d be clean and comfortable when I returned. Soiled mats were laundered as well. She also administered medications, sent regular photo and video updates, and gave all my pets genuine affection and care. Amazing care—I highly recommend her!

Abbie was GREAT! We had never left our pup w/ anyone but family! She warmed up to him right away. (He was a little stubborn but he came around) It was a piece of mind having him in our house. She came slept w/ him @ night. It was a great fit! I will DEFINITELY be using Abbie again!
