“Chanel did an amazing job watching our kitty at her house. She provided regular updates and photos throughout the stay which helped us know our kitty was in good hands. She was always quick to reply to messages and followed-through with everything she promised. We plan to use Chanel in the future to watch our kitty.”

“Highly recommend! Jennifer took such amazing care of my dog and treated him like family. I got regular updates, photos, and videos which gave me so much peace of mind. He came home happy, calm, and clearly loved.”

“Debbie is a fantastic dog sitter! We booked her very last minute and she was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative and her dog, maverick, is a sweetheart too. Will happily book again.”


“Joe and Carol took my dog for an extended holiday stay and I felt great leaving her with them. She warmed right up to them at our meet and greet, and that really put me at ease. I also appreciate the bag of treats they sent home with her after Christmas :) Thanks guys for taking such good care of my fur child! I look forward to booking again.”
“Mari was amazing with my little dog, Kalua! Her place is super dog-friendly—great space, and the dogs can go in and out to the yard, which Kahlua loved. I also really appreciated that she lets dogs on the furniture. Kalua is a total snuggle bug, so being able to curl up on the couch and even sleep in bed with Mari made her feel right at home. I got tons of cute photos while Kalua was there, including some fun ones from park walks with Mari’s dog Benny and her fiancé’s dog Apollo. Benny is such a sweetheart—he liked Kalua but seemed to prefer chilling on his bed and keeping an eye on things while Apollo, on the other hand, was super excited to play with her and was so gentle, which was perfect since she is tiny and he’s a bigger dog. Overall, Kalua had the best time. Mari treated her like family, and I felt totally comfortable the whole stay. I’d 100% book with her again!”

“Joshua and his family took such great care of our dog who can be quite a handful. He sent pictures and put us at ease as our big boy gets very anxious and he was calm around joshua and his family which says a lot. You can tell he knows what he is doing and takes amazing care of our furry friends. Will definitely be having him take care of our boy again.”

“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”

“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”

“Michelle was wonderful patient flexible and took great care of of our dog who ended up having a special medical needs that arose that morning. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“Alysa was great! She constantly sent us updates, took our pup on long walks by the beach, and made sure he was well taken care of! I would definitely use Alysa again.”

“Olive LOVED her time with Kelsey! I got plenty of updates when I was away, and felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. Kelsey was super responsive and proactive, and I loved all the photos I received! Her little dog Kai is super sweet and friendly as well. I so happy we found such a reliable local sitter!!”

“William, his wife, and their dog Roux were the PERFECT dog sitters for my girl Emma! I was instantly comfortable with them during the meet-and-greet. Emma was also immediately comfortable in their home. They were very focused on making sure they had all the information needed to make Emma's stay with them a positive experience. Emma and Roux became quick friends. During the four days I was away, I received multiple text messages and photos of Emma doing well in their home. I will DEFINITELY hire them again for future trips.”

“Robin is so sweet and so considerate Made our experience very reassuring Keeping me updated wth pics and messages Letting me know my precious Diego is in good hands and that he was going to be cared for while I was on my trip That it's ok for mommy and dad to have alone time and not worry or feel guilty .. thank you again ?”

“Donovan did an amazing job with my dog Juno when I needed someone on short notice. He was an excellent communicator and sent pictures regularly. Juno returned home tired and very happy!”

About: Note: all booked up for dog walking! Thank you :) Taking care of dogs was just part of my daily life as long as I could remember. I've had dogs from puppyhood into old age, and have experience giving medications, some injections, and even caring for a deaf dog. I am good with nervous, shy, and traumatized dogs as long as they do not react with biting (growling and nipping I understand fully). I have gone through a basic dog training course, which specialized in nervous dogs, in the past. My friends regularly have their dogs at my place when they are out of town. Although I have not had a cat since I was a child,I have a ton of experience in understanding them and have helped take care of them off and on at other houses over the years. I do the majority of my work from home and can be with your pet most hours of the day and all night. I’m up fairly early in the morning. I do adhere to all requests and instructions made for your pets. My dog was once so nervous that she had special social needs. I know the importance of specific directions. If your pet cannot have any food scraps, I have baby gates that can be put up blocking the kitchen and dining room during food prep and eating. We do have a backyard that is fenced and the neighborhood is dog friendly, clean, and has sidewalks.
“Jacques had the best time with Hope and Char! I think he’s a little disappointed to be back home! Definitely a great fit for us. Hope will be my go-to for future sitting needs for sure.”

Charlotte and her family took great care of Kona while we were away. Kona requires a special feeding schedule and multiple medications but Charlotte made sure he was taken care of and that he got everything he needed. We would love to let Charlotte care for Kona again. She has such a pet-loving family so we know Kona is happy to be there. Thank you!

Daniel is amazing! My dog, Kodak, stayed with him for a week while I was out of town, and I could tell right away that he was in great hands. Daniel sent daily updates and pictures, and he was always quick to respond. Kodak came home happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Daniel and will definitely book with him again in the future.

Calvin and his roommate watched my 1yr old mini dachshund for about a week over the holidays. She was well cared for with tons of walks, fun, treats, and most importantly stayed safe. They sent frequent updates and were quick to respond if we reached out. I would board with them again!

Jenny was absolutely amazing with my dog, Finn! He has separation anxiety, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. Jenny truly went above and beyond, especially over the holidays, spending meaningful quality time with him and giving him all the love he needs. She is incredibly reliable, compassionate, and clearly treats every pet like her own. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

Joshua provided excellent service and I felt comfortable knowing that my dog, Timber, was well cared for while I was on vacation. It's always hard being away for so long but he provided regular updates including pictures and reassured me that Timber was behaving, healthy, and happy. He communicated with me well in advance of the boarding to coordinate and was very helpful. Looking forward to having Timber stay with him again if we need to get away.

Hope was amazing! She treated my dog, Bailey, so well and even went so far as to let her keep a dog toy she grew attached to during her stay. 😂 Hope kept me updated frequently each day which I really appreciated. I’d 100% recommend her services to others and will continue to book with her in the future.

Lila did an amazing job with my 90lb reactive dog. She took all the right steps during her scheduled pre-stay meetups to set him up for success, and kept me updated the whole time. When I picked him up he was happy, calm, and clearly totally buddies with her. Highly recommend.
