“Corinna was absolutely wonderful with my cats during my holiday travels! Her attention to detail really stood out - she provided detailed updates after each visit, complete with photos that gave me peace of mind while away. Not only did she take excellent care of my cats, ensuring they were fed, played with, and loved, but she also maintained the pristine condition of my apartment. Upon returning home, everything was exactly as I had left it, and my cats were happy and content. She clearly went above and beyond in her care routine, and I appreciated her thoroughness and professionalism. I would highly recommend Corinna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter. I will definitely be booking her for future trips!”
“Elissa was awesome coming with relatively short notice. Updates were great, lots of photos and info, everything was brilliant and we felt our cat was super well cared for. Awesome!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for over 15 years. From dogs to cats to guinea pigs, friends and family have entrusted their precious furry loved ones to me to pamper and protect. Since I work remotely as a writer, I can easily pet sit at the owner’s home, usually without advance notice needed. As a writer, my schedule of quite flexible and I can do my work from a laptop or even just my phone, so I’m available most anytime, and it’s easy for me to make house calls and pet sit at the owner’s home. I have a fenced yard that your pet is free to roam around in, as well as a spacious 1st floor. Currently I have no other dogs or cats in the house.
About: I have a dog of my own since elementary school and I have also been around cats pretty often as well, I love both ! I currently have a job but I only work Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00am to 5:30pm. Other than those times I am free ! Anything your pets needs is my command, I will make sure they have everything they need and are happy and satisfied till your arrival !
“Jessica did a fantastic job sitting our playful cat Maverick--we will definitely ask her again the next time we go out of town! She arrived every day at the right time, and was great at communicating and sending us photos and updates. It was clear from the photos that our kitty befriended her--it made us have a better vacation knowing that Maverick was being so well taken care of.”
“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”
“Jessica has been great checking in on and walking our dog Miso while we’re at work. He is very particular with people but warmed up to her right away. She’s been very responsive with updates. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with a wide variety of pets. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life so I am comfortable caring for animals with different personalities. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated so they always feel connected and reassured! I currently work a part time job in the afternoon from 3pm - 6pm anytime before 3 and after 6 I am available as well as weekends if needed! I care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home by following their regular routine, providing fresh food and water, daily walks or playtime, and lots of attention. I keep the environment clean and safe, give updates after each visit, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away!
“Emma was so wonderful. She checked in everytime she went to see beau and gave him so much love. She’s very professional and I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Giovanni was excellent! My cat is young and mostly needs attention, and my Benji enjoyed his time with him. Giovanni was highly communicative and he clearly has deep empathy for animals. Will definitely continue to request his care.”
“Cheslea is amazing. My cat was sick and she worked with us to visit multiple times a day to monitor her condition. She also fed her supplements and kept us posted every visit. We were abroad and felt so grateful to have our cat in good hands! Thank you!!!”
“We couldn't be happier with Lifan! she took fantastic care of our two cats, Pepper and Kobe, while we were away for a couple weeks. We got daily updates with adorable photos of the pets. Everything was spotless when we returned, and the cats were happy. She took care of Kobe's and his medication needs which was really helpful as well. She also made our shy cat Pepper warm up to her which is really rare. Highly recommend—we'll definitely be booking with her again and couldn't be happier with how she took care of the kitties!”
“Celeste was so great with my shy cat Muta! Usually my cat hides around strangers but Celeste worked her magic! Would highly recommend as a sitter, very easy to work with and communicative!”

About: I am a life long dog momma with over 12 years of professional experience working as a dog walker, sitter, and as an assistant to three dog trainers and an animal behaviorist. During this time, I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, ailments and temperaments. From puppy probs to working dogs, seniors to super seniors, I have the skill, patience, and years of experience to handle it all. In addition to my professional experience, I also have the personal experience of caring for my own pups from puppy years to senior years, as well as those of my partner, friends and family members, from administering medications to doggy physical therapy and everything in between. I know how nerve wracking it can be finding someone to trust with your babies— that’s why I promise to always treat your furry family members as my own, prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. With me, your pets will be in the most capable hands. Studying and pet care is my full time job! My availability is roughly Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, depending on what spots may be filled. Just send me a message and let’s find a time that works for you! I have extensive experience working with every age group from puppies to seniors, large and small, trained and untrained, dog-friendly and not-so-dog-friendly, animals with disabilities, and can accommodate medications and feedings as well. And I am more than happy to accommodate any other requests! I also have experience with cats, birds, lizards, fish, horses, alpacas, you name it!
About: Hi I'm CJ. I’ve been a volunteer with the Pasadena Humane Society for two years, caring for kittens and socializing rescued and stray cats. I also regularly pet-sit for friends and have experience with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medication for cats, enrichment activities, and giving lots of attention and calm energy. I'm very dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your pets and your home. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or overnight sitting, I’m happy to help! I currently work from home and manage my own schedule, so I’m very flexible and able to accommodate a wide range of pet-care needs. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my routine for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m always just a message or call away if your pets need care or attention. When I care for someone's pet, I follow the routine the pet is already comfortable with to help them feel safe and relaxed. For dog walking, I make sure each walk matches your dog’s energy level—whether it’s a calm neighborhood stroll or a longer, more active walk. I always prioritize safety, use secure leash handling, and keep a close eye on their surroundings. For feeding, I follow the owner specific instructions for meal portions, timing, treats, and any dietary or medication needs. During overnight stays, I maintain the pet normal routine as closely as possible, including playtime, potty breaks, bedtime habits, and plenty of companionship. I keep owner's home tidy, send regular photo updates, and make sure the pet feels cared for, comfortable, and never alone.
About: Hey, I'm Moon! 🌙I'm a writer, artist & intuitive astrologer with *6 years of professional pet care experience, & I've had the pleasure of a whole lifetime spent in the close company of animals, who I believe have been my greatest teachers in all things life & magic. I believe that any of us who have/have had the privilege to love & be loved by an animal have also been in the presence of wise little magic-makers who transform our days, add light to our lives, & have so much to teach us about the healing properties of play & rest. I deeply love & respect all animals, & therefore take very seriously their care, & your trusting me with it! I pride myself on my ability to connect with animals across the personality spectrum through persistent patience, a deep & studied understanding of animal body language, engaged playtime, gentle touch, & an empathic sensitivity to their moods & needs. This empathic approach has won me the trust of many a fuzzy friend, & affords my clients the gift of peace of mind, knowing that their pets are in safe, loving hands & will be returned to them happy & well taken care of. From babies to seniors, basic hygiene & feeding, to bathing to meds administration, I'm able to handle it all with patience, love & ease. I also have a lot of experience caring for dogs with disabilities & special needs, & am thrilled to be able to accommodate for their utmost comfort. I often take care of my dog niece, who is blind, deaf, & in need of several meds per day, so I'm used to pilling, ear-dropping, or otherwise medicating on a regular basis! I'm super attentive on walks, & to ensure my attention & care is without distraction, I never walk more than 3 dogs at a time. I have a 6th sense for food & trash on the sidewalk, & will keep your dog from eating any surprise 'treats!' I keep it safe, fun, clean, & as long or as short as your dog requires. *I recently moved from NYC, where I worked for 6 years at Brooklyn Bow Wow, a doggy daycare/boarding/walking company. I did everything from daily walks to weeks-long stays in client's homes, & was able to learn a ton about animal behavior, socialization, & body language while there. During my years there, I walked dogs of all sizes, needs, & temperaments, & was able to create consistent relationships with many families who returned to me time & again. My schedule is extremely flexible for the foreseeable future, so most of my week is wide open to you & your animals. Don't hesitate to reach out, even if you're worried it's last minute! I'm open to everything from quick check-ins to multi-day boarding at my place or overnights at yours. I live with my partner & our 1.5 year old dog Ru, a social butterfly sweetheart of a dachsund-pitbull who is the playmate of dreams to any friendly dog he meets. If you were to book daycare or boarding with us, you get the bonus of knowing that your dog will not only be well-cared for & safe, but also well-socialized in the company of Ru, who is neutered, up to date on vaccines, & again, incredibly sweet. We have a large fenced-in yard for fun supervised playtime sessions, but the pups would spend the majority of time indoors hanging out with me, playing to their heart's desire, or just chilling. I'm home all day with your pup, & will always clear it with you should I get a request for a walk during your dog's stay with me, or if I need to leave them at home for whatever reason. If caring for your dog in your home, I respect all of your house rules, & can be trusted to leave the place better than I found it.
“Neysa was such a great sitter for our cats, she was incredibly responsive and responsible with everything we agreed on, I felt at ease being away knowing that they were being taken care of by a caring and responsible sitter. She was very reliable and went above & beyond on everything we requested for the week we were away, thank you so much!!”
“This is my second time booking with Charmaine and once again she took such good care of my cats. I definitely felt that they were safe and in good hands. Thanks!!”

Lifan was great, took such great care of my cats over the holidays and sent me wonderful photos. She handled my instructions perfectly and even helped do extra tasks like locating my spare litter when I ran out! Highly recommend her if especially if you have senior cats like me.
Elissa was an amazing sitter for our kitties! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and reliable. Not to mention, I could feel how much she truly cared about Coraline and Toulouse. Elissa even did a video call with us to “meet” and go over details before our trip. We will absolutely be using Elissa again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Elissa for your genuine care and kindness!
Thea did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties, Richi and Molly for two weeks. She did two drop-ins every day and gave us an update with photos and video each visit. She followed the instructions we left her and even remembered that they like to get a "licky spoon" before getting their meals, which I just told her about. She emptied the automatic litterbox bag with no problems and cleaned the floor around the food and litter areas when needed. Our babies seemed to like her and would greet her by the door. We will gladly hire Thea again.
Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!
Vega took such great care of my cat, Charlie. She was consistently on time and sent wonderful updates throughout each visit, which gave me total peace of mind. I couldn't ask for more! I highly trust Vega and would love to book her again in the future. Thank you so much!
That’s a lovely sentiment! Here’s a polished version if you’d like to share it as a review or thank-you note: Vicky took such wonderful care of our pets—you can truly tell she loves animals. Her kindness and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind.
So thankful we found Yesenia to care for our cat who has a chronic infection requiring oral meds twice a day. She's not the most compliant cat, but Yesenia was patient and managed to get 4 pills and a liquid med down each day! Because of her, we didn't have to board our cat and cause more distress for her, and she was able to stay in her home environment ❤️ We were also able to enjoy our travel and not worry about her. Our shy guy also seemed to warm up to her 😊 Both of our cats looked great and were happy when we got back! Thank you, Yesenia!
Jasmine is wonderful! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute, and I’m so glad we found Jasmine. We only met over a video call, but she was so friendly, communicative, and kind. Our pets were happy when we returned, and we could tell that Jasmine had taken great care of them. She sent a lot of photos of our pets during her visit which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Jasmine for your pet sitting needs!
Saemi was a fantastic sitter! She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. From the very beginning, we were impressed by her attention to detail during the meet and greet. While we were on our trip, she sent us detailed updates through the app, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our cats clearly loved her, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended!
Like before, I also asked Eggy to Haijin and Victor this time, and Eggy seemed to really like them 😂😂😂😂 every video & photo sent was interacting with them in a friendly way. And they sent me photos after every day care, which made me very relieved that my cat was home alone 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
