We needed a housesitter at the very last minute and Christina very kindly offered to help. We messaged each other and spoke on the phone before the sit. Christina arrived exactly when she said she will and sent me photos of Pixie. She was absolutely brilliant. Very reliable and communicated throughout. When we returned Pixie looked happy and well looked after. The house was immaculate, we were very impressed. Christina even walked Pixie in the morning before leaving. I would definitely ask Christina to house sit again and also would highly recommend her to others. Thank you Christina for agreeing to sit at such a short notice.
Leigh and Daniel are a God send - we recommend them as house sitters and for pet care without hesitation. They are the friendliest and laid back people to deal with and you can tell they love animals. They kept the place spotless and most importantly looked after our dog and horse with alot of care. You can tell they love animals. During their stay they even had to deal with and avoid disaster when we had a flood during a heavy storm! Couldn't be more pleased to find such lovely people to house and pet sit for us.

Lauren is awesome, we are lucky we found her for our two dogs. She has been fantastic with both dogs especially our highly anxious one. She has watched them for the day and boarded them over night. They cant wait to get out of the car when we drop them off.
Lauren watched my dog (Bruno) for several weeks. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages on Bruno’s daily activities and overall wellbeing. Bruno looked fantastic when I picked him up, and I will not hesitate to have Lauren watch him again. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about the animals she takes care of.
OMG! Lauren is the dog whisperer of the Coachella Valley! An expert in all things dog, Lauren provides a safe, secure, healthy and fun environment in her perfectly accommodating private home. Our baby comes home with a doggy smile after every visit. What a pleasure to be able to relax and feel confident every time we drop off our precious family member to the expert care of Lauren at Best Pawsible Pet Services..
I have been using Lauren for about 5 years and she is the BEST!! I just love her enthusiasm and joy that she gives to all her dogs. With two previous dogs they would spend the night and also just go to day care. With Peaches - our current Cavapoo - she can't wait to get out of the car and go into Laurens house. We've boarded her but also use the daycare for a day of golf! Wouldn't go anywhere else!!!!
We have used Lauren multiple times to pet sit, This time we were gone quite a bit longer than the previous times and she made sure to give our dogs extra love an extra attention to fill the void of us being gone. We appreciate Lauren’s love for animals and The attention to detail she gives while caring for our fur babies. Thank you Lauren!
Lauren is fantastic, she goes the extra mile with your special one. Scruffy has emotion needs and has meds and she knows how to make him feel happy. She lets him snuggle on the bed with her which he loves. She understands his needs and I know he is in loving care. She keeps me posted on how he is doing. Which is great. I also know she makes sure everyone has their shots up to date. You will be very happy and so will your pet. 👍🏻👍🏻Mirelle and Scruffy
Lauren has taken care of our two rescued mixes for several years ( plus an extended family member’s pup. ). Sometimes it’s just an overnight or a long weekend, but we’ve used her up to a few weeks at times. We feel so comfortable knowing that she is extremely experienced and she is even helpful with solicited advice when they aren’t there and we have a training issue. She has had to give our pups medication and has no problems contacting vets if needed. Our pups might be a little spoiled by the attention they receive when they are in her care. If you were to ask our pups about their experiences, we think they would both give her two paws up!
Lauren is beyond the best! We rescued our dog, Max, as a puppy after spending over a month in a shelter. Lauren not only has given Max a safe and fun place to stay, but also has given us great advice on training him. We know Max loves Lauren as much as we do….he races to her door as soon as we pull up!
We have 2 dogs, both 8 year old Akita mixes. Lauren has been a part of their lives in one way or another since we adopted them when they were puppies. Lauren is extremely reliable, consistent and always goes above & beyond. She’s easy to communicate with and very attentive. She has tons of safety measures, plans and precautions in place to ensure any animal on her care is safe, well cared for and (most importantly) comfortable and loved. Her home and yard is always clean. She’s helped care for our dogs on many occasions, boarding them in her home or doing drop-ins at our home. Even providing behavioral help. And, we’ve witnessed her board and work with many different types of animals over the years. At some point, one of our dogs developed severe allergies. Lauren was instrumental in helping us work with a vet to diagnose the problem, better understand our dog’s illness and even create a long term treatment plan for him. She’s still attentive to his allergies and sensitivities when she cares for him. It’s not just about pet sitting. She’s extremely gifted and truly has such a passion for animals and their overall well-being. We jokingly call her Dr. Doolittle, but she really is so in tune with animals’ needs. Her knowledge and expertise cannot be matched.
Lauren has been taking care of my eighteen month old Boston Terrier twice a seek, since he was 7 months old and she has been wonderful, helping me with training and giving him plenty of play time and exercise. She is always more than happy for a drop in visit, for cats or dogs, and her boarding service is wonderful, as I never have to worry about his care. As I work fulltime, I don't know what I would do without her help and loving care of my active little dog.
