About: I’m Cait! I live in Belmont Shore, where there’s a 60/40 chance a stroller is carrying a fur baby vs a human baby. Contact me for your last-minute needs! I am a remote worker with a flex schedule offering dog walks, drop ins, and daytime house sitting. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, shapes, and personalities since I was a little girl. The dog in the photo is Archie, my favorite nephew and frequent guest. I hope to meet your bestie soon! Reach out for your last minute requests! I’m a fully remote worker with a flex schedule so getting to and from your pet’s abode will be as breezy as the bike path. Frequent potty breaks and play time is 100% welcome. I love to get my steps in so let’s take your pal out for a walk or run!
“Shelli was consistent, reliable, communicative and a problem solver. (i.e. I had forgotten to leave her name with the front gate). Based on the daily videos and Chianti's contented purrs when I returned I know she was well cared. Shelli also watered my plants and helped pick up the slack on a small forgotten task. Definitely a rehire!”

“Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!”
“Ah, thank you Mary! Sounds like he will do just fine with you!! He must like you, it hard sometimes for him to warm up and play with his feather stick! He will be awesome with you for the next visits!!! Thank you!!”

About: I was raised with both cats and dogs so I have a strong love for all animals (reptiles still creep me out a bit tho). Also, I have looked after and walked my grandparents dog for a long time now, so I understand it is a big responsibility, but I am completely willing to take on because animals deserve everything and more. I have recently just graduated from college and I am starting a very slow job search right now so for the time being I have plenty of time daily for pet care and other activities. Although I cannot invite pets into my home because I am still living with my parents, I will care diligently for your home and your animals with the same respect I would want you to give to mine.
“I can always count on Christopher! He’s great with Rosie especially since she needs some xtra love and care with post surgery and new diet! Thanks Chris!!”


About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
“Kristina is nothing short of amazing—I couldn't have asked for a more thorough, attentive and considerate sitter. I highly recommend Kristina for any of your pet sitting needs! We have finally found our local sitter for future travels and we couldn't be happier. Thank you x a million, Kristina! 🖤”


“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Through this experience, I became comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing daily companionship. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels cared for, relaxed, and happy while their family is away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. My availability may vary, so please feel free to contact me for more details. I'd be happy to discuss your pet's needs and find a schedule that works for both of us! I currently provide care in my clients' homes. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent. I'll follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away!
“Christina is great! I’ve booked her several times and she is communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. Always puts me at ease when we’re away and the kitties and tortoise enjoy her company. Highly recommend.”

About: Lifelong animal lover, rescue dog caretaker, and Marine Biology student. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I bring a structured, observant, and deeply compassionate approach to pet sitting. Your animal’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I currently volunteer every Sunday at the Aquarium of the Pacific, and I have a flexible school schedule during the Fall and Spring semesters. I'm available afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays. I'm available for drop-ins or to stay at the client's home. I'm comfortable doing walks, feedings, play time, and administering medications (no injections).
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I love walking dogs and playing with the animals when house sitting. I always ask what the owners want and follow their instructions. For house sitting can come multiple times a day. Bringing good energy and ready for a walk or play time. I work part time but can come any time on Monday, Tuesday, and can do walks Wednesday through Sunday before 3:40 pm. I am always on the go and love going on beach walks or just walking around the neighbor hoods. For house sitting I can check on the animals through the day and after work can spend the night or do a night check. I take care of our neighbor dog and two cats when she is off traveling. Usually come in the morning and feed animals and play with them. Then I take the dog for a beach walk or we go on a jog in the neighbor hood. Then I come back around lunch and get all the zoomies out check on them and play with them. Then I go before work and after work to let them out and check on them. Before work we usually go on a 20 minute walk just to get them outside. The cats usually follow us on the second walk.
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs of sizes small and large, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I treat every pet like family. Im currently a barista waiting to start my employment at a new tea house opening up on 2nd Street! I love all animals and treat every pet/person with all the love and care they deserve. In my free time, I love to dance and cafe hop as much as possible. Im a very mellow person who loves to chat and have fun. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I follow all feeding, walking, and routine instructions carefully, and I ensure pets are supervised at all times. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I create a calm, friendly environment where pets feel loved, safe, and cared for, whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply companionship.
“Bridget was great with the daily communication. She provided updates and also sent pictures. My pet seemed very happy when I returned and well taken care of. Greatly appreciated!”

I’ll check in with you about any unique tendencies concerning your pet(s) and make sure to follow them as I’m working. When I am done I’ll make sure no mess is left behind, leaving your home upright!

Stephanie took care of my cat Levi for three weeks while I was traveling. She is incredibly communicative and flexible, she worked with me to figure out a plan that worked best and was super helpful in the booking process! She definitely puts her clients first. She cared for Levi so well, sending me so many photos of him which was amazing 😻 She played with him so much and I know he felt very loved and safe. I have never been so at ease leaving him and this was the longest time I’ve been gone! Stephanie is an incredible cat sitter and so communicative. I’ll be booking her again when I go out of town next month, and will recommend her the first chance I get!

5-Star Review It was easy to recognize from the start that Lisa is a true animal lover. She was prompt for our meet-and-greet with my cat, Ozzie. Lisa is an excellent listener, very knowledgeable about both cats and dogs, and a natural with animals. Throughout the pet-sitting experience, she provided outstanding communication, regular updates, and wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to work with Ozzie’s schedule and unique personality, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Lisa completed every request I made and truly went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I couldn’t be happier 🐾💕

Kaylee was a joy to have as a cat sitter! It was our first time using a service like this and Kaylee made us feel very comfortable. She even set up a time to meet and greet our kitties ahead of time and get to know how we take care of them! My favorite part was Kaylee sending the daily updates with lots of photos. I looked forward to that time everyday on our trip & it was so reassuring to know that they were happy and having a good time with Kaylee! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, Kaylee 😊

Jennifer was a fantastic sitter for my animals while I was on an extended vacation. Not only did she provide detailed descriptions for each visit and plenty of very well shot pictures, but she also brought in unexpected deliveries instead of leaving everything on the porch. I will definitely use her again!
