“Kelly was an absolute amazing assistance to me while I was in vacation! She remained in constant communication, provided me pictures and was very punctual with her arrivals and departures. You can tell when someone truly loves animals, and I will definitely be booking Kelly in the future!”

“Jaden is the best! Our pups love her, and we feel better knowing that she will check in on them when were gone. One of our dogs is elderly and has frequent "accidents" in the house, which we do not expect anyone to clean up, but Jaden goes the extra mile and cleaned up after one of his messes, and I am so incredibly grateful. We don't want anyone else!”

“Breanna was great with my Millie dog. I was very apprehensive to book drop-in doggy visits because my Millie dog can be protective and not welcoming to anyone new in her yard and house. Breanna let Millie warm up to her on Millie's terms and Breanna even brought some of her doggies to play with Millie, with permission of course. I will definitely book drop-in visits with Breanna again for Millie. Thank you Breanna, you have made this stressful situation for us seamless and uneventful. Millie looks forward to having you stop by again especially if you bring one of your doggies to play.”


“This was my first time using this app and also my first time leaving my cats and house in the hands of a stranger... yet I couldn't be happier about the decision I made to hire Katrina to take care of everything. She followed my checklist perfectly and even went above and beyond during her drop in visits with my 2 cats. Her daily updates and pictures made me feel certain that my girls were happy and that things back home were totally safe under control while I was away. I hope to book her again in the future, and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs ?????”
“Thank you so much for all you've done for my 3 babies, built so much trust in a short period of time and taking good care of them for them to feel comfortable enough to have play time. Really appreciate all you've done for me and my fur babies!”

“Kayla is so great with my cats who already are not fond of strangers. She is very good at following instructions and always respects our home. Anytime I need a sitter, Kayla is available. She is the only sitter we need!”

“Calie goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. She was incredibly patient with my dog who was not used to our new situation, and skillfully got my dog to calm down and trust her. Amazing work!”

About: Very responsible with pets, always making sure they are well fed, hydrated, and cleaned up. I will gladly always want them to have fun, run around- play with toys, and feel loved! I currently am still in school, but in the meantime for summer I am eligible to take care of pets any time during the weekdays. I go to the gym, but always have spare time to care for pets with love. I care for pets in my home- a comfortable environment, area for potty, food and water. Open area in the yard for play time, and running around.
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter—she provided frequent updates and the cutest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is incredibly trustworthy and made us feel completely confident that our pup girls were getting the absolute best care. 🐾💛Thank you Sahvanna!!!❤️🎄🌵❤️”

“Jeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs in my life since I was born. I was practically raised by two lovely German Shepherds and have only fostered a deeper love of animals the older I've gotten.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a child. I am graduating this summer and receiving my associates in animal science and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I have two dogs and a cat that I adopted from local shelters, I have fostered and volunteered at Kern County Animal Shelter in order to learn more about how to take care of them. I am experienced in dog sitting, usually when my family or friends go out of town they bring their pets to my house or they let me know so I can stop by and provide care for them. Nothing will make me happier than making animals and their owners happy. I currently work at an emergency hospital full time 7-3:30 so I’m free anytime after 4pm on the weekdays and available anytime on Saturday and Sunday! I usually follow the owners routine in however their pet has been trained. Routine works best for me, and if the pet doesn’t have one I develop one to adjusted their needs.

I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use
About: Caring for dogs has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. My love for animals began with my first two dogs — a German Shepherd and a Retriever mix — who taught me the joy and responsibility that come with caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s keeping them active, giving them attention, or making sure they feel safe and happy, I take pride in providing dependable and affectionate care. I truly believe every dog deserves to be treated like family — and that’s exactly how I care for them. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is small and gentle with others as well.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.
About: I have experience and patience to deal with dogs. My house is well maintenance and have a big yard for dogs to run around and play I have the time to do it.
