If you are like me, your pets have become family members. When you can't be home for them, whether because of work,vacation or other obligations; you want them to be taken care of with the same love and affection that you give them on a daily basis. That is exactly what I offer at FABULOUS FRIENDS.

My Mission

My Mission is to provide a professional home and pet sitting service that meets the special needs of my clients and their pets.
As a pet owner I know how important it is to find just the right person to care for my pets when I am away. I am very particular about who I allow in my home. That is why I provide a professional and loving service that allows my clients to be away from home with not a worry in the world! Why place your loved one in a kennel, when a licensed and bonded pet-sitter can make sure that they are safe,fed and relaxing in their own home. I keep their routine normal so that they will never know you are gone! I will provide you with a personal plan that will meet your needs at a reasonable cost. I am a certified Veterinarian Assistant and I have worked as a Veterinarian Technician.

A brief history of "FABULOUS FRIENDS"

In 2006, I started my pet-sitting business, "Fabulous Friends".
Having been a pet owner for many years, my love for animals was the reason that I believed I could be of service to pets and their owners. I became a licensed pet-sitter with the city of Pleasanton. I joined Pet Sitters International and became bonded and insuranced and preceeded to build up a clientele. I am well known in the Pleasanton area and have many repeat clients. I am endorsed by the Feline Medical Center and I have many referrals. Of course, I am the owner of several pets. Currently, a Black Lab, Ace, who is 14 months old. I have three cats,Tiger Lilly,Homer and Felix. Tiger, 15 years old is the boss and the only female. Homer who I adopted when he was a year old, is now getting to be an old man of 12. Felix who is a new addition to my home was rescued from the side of a road and is currently 4 months old. I have an outdoor pond filled with Koi who don't have any names and a indoor aquarium with some no named fish. In the past I have owned an English Mastiff, Duke, a Basset Hound, Maggi,a Yellow Lab, Rex, a Tabby Cat,Putti,a Yellow Nape Parrot,Roberto,a beautiful orange tom, Morris,a Bearded Dragon Lizard,Rocky,Frogs,Mice,Snakes,and Fish.
