“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.”

“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”

About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat. I work part-time for a yoga studio and my husband or I are always home at night! We love watching movies with our two pooches, and can’t wait to have a movie night with your best friend! I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!

“Priscilla was wonderful with my cat and extremely flexible with last minute coverage and needs that gave me peace of mind. She was great at following instructions and im so thankful for her patience and care. Would recommend and will rebook”

About: I have fostered many animals from rabbits, turtles, cats, and of course dogs. I’m a huge pet lover and advocate. I recently lost my dog and I’m feeling very lonely. Let me borrow your fur baby and take extra good care. I’m a single mom and I work from home. I work remotely and have flexible hours so I can be on call at any time. I am extremely reliable and trustworthy. Your pet will be treated like a member of my family. Safety is my top priority. I’m very good at reading the energy of a pet. Every animal lion encounter is naturally drawn to me. Whether it’s walking or in the home, my goal is to provide a piece of mind and excellent care.
“Alexis is just great to send pix and text about any issues. She was able to think on her feet about an emergency ant issue (yikes!) in a cabinet with the cat treats. Will absolutely hire her again and again!”

“Lanaye did a great job caring for our munchkins while we were away. She was attentive to changes at the house and communicated with lots of detail. She went above and beyond by vacuuming before we came home. We look forward to booking Lanaye again.”

“Andi is a knowledgable and thoughtful caretaker of animals. When she first met me and my cat, she shared helpful tips and suggestions regarding my cat's specific needs based on her own experience. While I was away, Andi text me a photo of my cat every day and maintained good communication. Thank you, Andi!”

“Joanna was great. She communicated well and was very sweet and kind with our dogs. We really appreciate the pictures and videos she sent us while caring for our dogs. It was reassuring to know our dogs were well taken care of while we were away.”


About: Ive had dogs and cats ever since I was a kid, whether they chose us as strays or we chose them. Ive had white german Shepards, a black Labrador and a Staffordshire Terrier as of recent. Currently owning two adorable playful cats with my girlfriend, Tiger and Choco. Ones sweet and loving while the other is a fun loving naughty lil devil. Im a freelance artist/painter/illustrator and instructor. Some factors as to why my free-time is more than others are my jobs may be spaced out and I do most of my work at night and or the weekends when I'm not teaching. The cats I have now are both indoor kitties, I provide them with tons of toys and Churu treats to keep them happy. I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks/ hikes or bike rides but its hard doing that with the cats I have because they aren't so keen to being outside. I used to ride my bike with my Staffordshire Terrier around LA alot.
“If I could give Mari ten stars (or fifty), I would. She is absolutely great. She goes above and beyond. She clearly loves and understands animals, and she bonded with my cat during her introductory visit. My only concern is that my cat might prefer Mari to me henceforth (I'm only half joking.). I am sure she would be fine with dogs too. Hire her and you can be certain your pet is extremely well cared for while you are away.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own 2 dogs since I was 8. I am an absolute dog lover, if I see a person walking their dog on the street I have to ask to give them some pets. I am a current college student and I am home for the summer break. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with what’s best for you and your dogs needs :) I plan on caring for your pets just as well as you would yours. Ensuring the safety of your pets by being attentive to all their needs. If I am needed for a visit I will take your pet out for walks and feed them as needed. I will love your fur baby just as much as I love my own!

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have always loved caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I work from home often, so I’m able to give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know your dog is comfortable and having a good time. My schedule is currently pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and hanging out with your pup throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding and can easily work around your dog’s normal routine. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routine as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you know how they’re doing.
About: Growing up, we always had a family dog, so I approach my care as if your pet is a member of my family. My experience began in college when I would housesit/dogsit for a family near my campus who needed care for their dog when they went out of town or couldn't be home on time. Their dog needed medication, so I was responsible for feeding and administering the medication. Throughout the years, I've helped out friends and family and have been a certified Rover sitter for four years. I work remotely and take walks during the day, so adding your pet's care to my schedule is not a problem. I would love for your dog to join me on my walks or visit with them during the day for companionship and playtime. *NOTE* I am also able to provide doggy daycare in your home rather than mine if that works better for you. My neighborhood is great for walks with the ability to stay on quieter streets if your dog prefers less traffic noise. Regarding care in your home, I am happy to follow all instructions that keep your pet comfortable in their space. I find it very important to keep your dog's schedule as normal as possible to avoid any distress while you are away.
“This is the second time we booked Charmaine to take care of our cat while away. She did a great job and communicated well. Will definitely book her again!”

About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had an affinity for animals and their care. I grew up taking care of animals and have become the designated sitter for family and friends. With years of experience with an animal adoption Im comfortable with dogs of any age, size and temperament. I believe pets are family and i love to pour into them and go above and beyond to give them a fun and loving experience. I know how important it is for animals have their routine and I make it my upmost priority to maintain that for them! No quirk is too quirky. I work from home so my schedule is free and adaptable. Whatever your dog’s needs are, I want them to be as comfortable as possible! I love cuddles and I can offer some basic training. I’m looking forward to spending time with your pets! I currently work part time so my schedule varies week a bit week to week. But im typically free in the evenings and on thursday, friday, and sunday. I will care for pets in your home by keeping their routines, respecting their space/autonomy, and trying to maintain as much normalcy as possible. Giving them as much love and care and you would.
About: What Sets Me Apart Caring for animals has truly been a lifelong part of who I am. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 4 years old and dogs since my early teens. My parents have fostered and sheltered animals for over 25 years, and when I visit home, I help care for what we lovingly call our little “pet haven.” Through that experience, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies all the way through their senior years. Being around foster and rescue animals has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read different personalities — from energetic and playful to calm, sensitive, or even a little sassy 😊. I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and senior pets who need a slower, softer approach. I also have a deep respect for animal safety and well-being — even rescuing baby birds and bringing them to the local humane society when needed. Animals have always been a source of comfort and joy in my life, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, attentiveness, and care. With a steady weekday schedule, pet care fits naturally into my routine with evening pet visits after 6pm and weekend availability, limiting bookings to maintain focused, reliable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and routines to help your pet feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean, calm environment and am attentive to details like secured doors, safe walks, and proper feeding. I never overbook, so each pet receives dedicated attention and supervision. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies, respectful of each pet’s unique personality and routine, and committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and lots of one-on-one attention. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also provide photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I keep a clean, calm environment, closely supervise playtime, and make sure pets always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every stay or visit.
“Mike was very professional and kind, and he was a great caretaker for my cat! He sent reports on the check-ins and daily photos, which both put me at ease as someone who hasn't used an outside caregiver before. I would certainly recommend Mike to others and will seek out his services again for future trips!”

Joanna is an excellent pet sitter. You can tell she truly cares about her pet clients. She is very kind and conscientious and follows through on everything she promises. I would definitely recommend Joanna’s pet sitting services. And my dog Mei Mei would agree 100%.

Charmaine was great with our senior girlie while we were out of town! They did all of her favorite activities together like laps around the house and sitting on the catio. We got plenty of pictures to make us miss her a little less until we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with Charmaine again!

I can’t recommend Heidi enough! She was able to accommodate my very last minute request and was absolutely wonderful with my kitty. I was able to feel at ease while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in such good hands and getting lots of love and attention. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter! 😊🐾
Kate is the best! Our dog can be a little sensitive to strangers but warmed right up to her. She was super communicative and helped us out in a pinch. I’m relieved to know we have someone great we can rely on the future to check in on our dog if we’re away for the day!

Mari did an amazing job caring for our cats! She sent fantastic daily photo and video updates while we were out of town, and it's clear that they had a great time being spoiled by her. We would absolutely recommend Mari to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we'll be booking with her again in the future!

Lifan was vey responsive and easy to book with. She was extremely reliable and communicative while caring for my cat, Eggs, over Labor Day weekend. Eggs is normally pretty shy but warmed up to her almost immediately. When I got home from being away, he was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Lifan!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
