“My cat Booboo is afraid of most men, but when Jeremy came over for the meet & greet, Boo went to him😁. Booboo needs liquid medicine every day & Jeremy has the skills to do this, plus his Mom being a retired Vet tech, is very comforting because if anything were to go wrong, I love that he could contact his Mom for guidance. Definitely use Jeremy again because my job has me traveling frequently & Jeremy will bring treats, play, & care for Booboo.”


“Tera did an amazing job in keeping me updated on check in and check out times, as well as what was done on taking care of my cat, and pictures of how he was doing too! He really enjoyed her company and was happy to have someone check in on him! 😁”


“This was Dasha’s second time she watched our cat. She was well cared for with detailed updates and several photos every day. Dasha also helped by pulling in some packages that got delivered while we were gone. Very happy with how she has been able to be a companion for our kitty when we are out of town.”


“Tish was incredible with our kitties! Very attentive, sent lots of updates and photos, and they absolutely loved her! It gave us such peace of mind to have her around and taking care of them while we were away. Will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are traveling!!”


“Kayla is the very best! She is reliable and friendly, and writes the best narrative summaries of her time caring for our cats when we are out of town. We are grateful for her!”


“Ainsley, is sweet, flexible and so good with my pups. It's so comforting to have finally gotten a dog sitter, we put it off for many years. She takes pics and updates us. The dogs look very happy to be with her. We definitely recommend her!”


About: I don't have children, so animals fill my life. Because I have no children I have a very flexible schedule. I have worked with animals for many years in a kennel setting, as well as in people's homes. When pets are in my home, or I'm at theirs, I am the person who enjoys curling up with them for snuggle or go outside to play ball. I have experience with giving medication, as well as dealing with strict dietary needs. I can work with animals of all sizes and shapes, and temperaments. Hope to treat peoples babies like I would mine. Giving hugs and kisses all the time. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I will not need to leave your animals to go to another job. When I take a job, I’m committed to making the animals as happy as possible while their family is away. Weather permitting I love to play outside with the dogs, spending as much time as we can working off their energy and mine. Outside time is my favorite time.

“Natalee took care of my cats over 8 days. She was conscientious about getting to them after her flight home was delayed and during a storm. It would have been good to learn about the delay without asking, but with airline issues, I don't think she knew sooner. Thanks for all your help, Natalee!”


“Christine was just wonderful. Although we did not meet in person I felt so at ease and comfortable with her as my doggos sitter. She was wonderful at communicating with me in a timely manner and made sure I had some pictures of my boy while I was away. I would absolutely book with Christine again, and I'm sure my pup would love to see her again! Thanks so much Christine”


About: Dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. I have an adventurous dog myself, and we spend hours exploring forests, rivers, and fields. I know how to keep energetic pups happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an active hiking buddy, I’m ready with a leash and a smile! Pet care is part of my everyday life. I walk my own dog daily, rain or shine, and love including other pets in my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around their needs to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I have a small open backyard that is not fenced, so I always use a leash and closely supervise any pet outside. I make sure they get enough exercise, love, and attention. I also have a medium-sized dog of my own who is friendly and can be a great companion for your pet.

“I can't say enough good things about Lindsay! She cared for my dogs (one is a puppy) on Saturday while we attended a wedding, and her understanding, thoroughness, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I was able to fully enjoy the evening without a single worry about my furry children. Thank you, Lindsay for being amazing! We'll definitely be booking again! :)”

“We were so nervous using Rover for the 1st time. Cassidy was so understanding of all of our questions. She did a great job with Gizmo & CeeDee (Guinea) and sent updates all the time. I felt so comfortable and safe and would 100% book Cassidy again. Thank you for making us feel more comfortable with having our fur babies being safe when we are out of town.”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have cared for friends & family’s as well. I’ve always had such a special connection to all animals. My very first job at 15 was taking care of 10 huskies. I have also volunteered at Sarvey Wildlife Care Center taking care of the many different types of animals with various duties, from cleaning, feeding, medical special needs, to simply keeping an eye on them. As of the last year, I sadly lost my 15 yr old who was mix Anatolian/Keeshond and then 4 months later lost my 13yr old who was mix Shih Tzu/Pomeranian who I had both since they were babies. I’m feeling at the point where I’m longing to take care of others and love on them, but not quite ready to get my own just yet. I’m a very nurturing person especially when it comes to animals and their needs and would love to offer that again to other beloved pets. I treat them as if they are my own children. I’m experienced with many different breeds and all the stages of their lives. All animals have their individual and unique personalities.. I’m very observant and connected learning quickly what their needs are based on behavior, breed, and age. I’m experienced in administrating medication if needed. And in general all the basic needs of walking, feeding, physical and mental stimulation and of course lots of love. I’m very committed, reliable, respectful and will go above and beyond if their are any special requests or other things needed to be done such as cleaning, checking mail, taking out trash etc.. I am currently open availability and extremely flexible. I would love to come watch or walk your pups.. I do have a 12 yr old Kitty, and can also have small pups here. My home is fenced and it is only myself living here. Occasionally my 26-year-old daughter who also is an huge animal lover comes by. I do have a 12-year-old cat, so small pups would only be suitable here, otherwise I can pup-sit or walks at your house.

I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to your furry family members, and I’m here to provide just that. Let me make your pet feel right at home while you’re away! I am currently working full-time at a gym in the Lynwood area. I am available most mornings before work and evenings after, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays When dog sitting in your home, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, playtime, and walks, ensuring that everything stays just as they’re used to.

Hannah M.
“Hannah took care of our 3 little dogs last summer for 4 or 5 days. She stayed at our house during that time, so that the dogs could stay in familiar surroundings. When we returned from our trip, the doggies were happy and well taken care of, meds were given to the older dog at appointed times, and the house was in order. Highly recommend.”
