“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“We would trust Alora with our animals anytime. She worked with us to earn the trust of our anxious dog, and she was very attentive to everyone's needs.”
“Valentina is hands down the best pet sitter we have ever found. She’s superb with our three pups. They get so excited to see her and when we get back from trips, we can tell that although they are happy to see us, they’ve been well taken care of and super happy pups. She’s also so flexible and helped us wren we were overseas and had a delay in our flight. She found a great way to make sure our pups were taken care of until we made it home. I hope she continues to pet sit since she’s the best there is! 👍😎”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats all my life. Along with caring for my own animals I have had friends, neighbors, and coworkers trust me to care for theirs while they have been out of town or worked long hours. I love every animal like they are my own. I have trained my own dogs from young pups to include house-breaking, safe socialization, and obeying simple commands. I am also a registered nurse so you can trust I can take on any requested medical needs of your pet as well. Pet care is part of my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own. Also, I am currently taking a break from my usual career in healthcare/ nursing, so my schedule is extremely flexible to care for others' pets as well. I adjust styles of pet care based off owner preference. I like to stick with what the owner does, to not break the animal's routine while the owner is away. I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention and exercise! My dog, Sierra, is well behaved and well socialized, and will make a wonderful playmate for other dogs of varying temperaments.
“Maila did wonderfully with our older rescue dog. Our dog has a past of abuse and is very leery of strangers. Maila was patient and understanding and won him over. He ended up sleeping on the bed with her. She is clearly very knowledgeable about dog behavior. Highly recommend.”
“This was my first time using Rover and honestly I couldn’t be happier! She sent several pictures of all my fur babies over the long weekend we just had and I knew they were all in great hands! I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been house/dog sitting for friends for years. I’ve taken care of elderly/diaper dependent dogs, medically fragile cats, blind dogs, and an unfriendly parakeet. Young or old, continent or incontinent- I take care of them like their owners would until they get home. I work an 8-5 job Tuesday through Friday. I would not be able to leave my job for check ins or potty breaks. I do not work on weekends or Mondays. I follow the instructions given to me when I pet sit. I clean up after myself and the pets. I am overly cautious with the house and the pets to ensure the owners have a carefree getaway.
“Alysia took such good care of our babies while we went out of town for a few days. We have a fairly full animal house with 3 cats and a dog. While we love to travel, it’s always so hard to leave our pets behind - we can’t help but worry about them. However, we felt confident in the care they were receiving so we could more fully enjoy our trip without worrying! It was obvious from the daily updates we received during our trip that our babies were in great hands. We truly felt like she enjoyed spending time with our pets and like our pets received consistent, compassionate care; their schedules weren’t completely deregulated just because we went out of town which is priceless. It was clear when we returned that they were all very well cared for, and maybe even a little disappointed that it was us walking through the door and not her! 🤣 Alysia went above and beyond to take excellent care of our home, as well. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I treat every pet like they're my own—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and communication I provide. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or needs extra patience, I adjust my care to match their style. I also send frequent updates and photos so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing. With me, your pet isn’t just being watched—they’re being cared for with genuine love and dedication. I currently work from home which is what sets me apart from most because I will always be available! My job makes things very flexible! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, cozy areas to relax, and a calm, consistent routine. I limit the number of pets I watch at one time so each one gets the attention and care they deserve. Walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks are all tailored to your pet’s needs and schedule. When I care for pets in your home, I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to your instructions—meals, medication, routines, and rules—because I know how important consistency is. I also keep your space clean and secure, and I send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. No matter the setting, I care for every pet as if they were family.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs specifically on several occasions from bigger Heelers to small Chihuahuas. Great range of dog handling and ability to tend to all needs I have an open schedule for pet care, good to overnight sit. Very flexible if needed on short notice, reliable rate for short notice as well. Open to do everything needed, good with puppy through senior age. Fine with cleaning up after them inside and outside if I am there and needed
About: I have taken care of dogs from dachshund size up to Irish wolfhounds and everything in between. I have trained several of my own dogs basic commands, such as sit, stay, shake and the fun one play dead. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and they will always love us unconditionally so it is our job to do the same for them. I am currently working part time and have a 3 day weekend. I would love to spend my extra time, taking care of your animals and making sure they feel like their owners never left. I have a fenced yard that also has grass and is very well taken care of to ensure there is room for your furry friend to play and have fun or just to go outside and have potty break! We live in a beautiful quiet neighborhood! I do have a child who is eight years old and loves animals just as much as I do, so extra help and extra fun! We currently have one female cat, who is up-to-date on all vaccines and is spayed. I would love to welcome your furry friends into our home or we can come to you whichever suits your animals needs. If pets do have a kennel they use at home that will be required to come with your animal, as I am not home 100% of the time.
“Miranda did a fantastic job with our boys, Archer and Dexter. They struggle with anxiety but they were so relaxed in her care! She sent lots of updates and photos so we knew they were happy while we were away. Would absolutely recommend Miranda to care for your pet! We'll definitely re-book her in the future. Thanks again Miranda!!”
“Torrie was so awesome took really good care of my pup . She was very communicative, caring , loving towards my pup . I would highly recommend Torrie to watch your pup”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm comfortable meeting their needs no matter the age, personality, medical care, and fears. I send updates daily and include pictures of their adventures (or naps). I'm familiar with training younger dogs basic skills. I prefer to meet the family and their pet ahead of time so the adjustment (especially for longer periods) is easier for the pet, but I've also noticed it eases the owner as well. I work part-time, I usually work from 10-3 Friday-Monday, but occasionally I have to work evenings for events. I am also a part-time college student but all my classes are online which allows me to do my work as long as I have access to wifi. I'm available before 9:30 am Friday-Monday. And available during any time Tuesday-Thursday. My main priority when dog-sitting/walking is to build trust with the dog(s) and their owners. I've worked with extremely shy dogs that like to hide from new people, some still prefer to be left alone while others now get excited to see me. On the other hand, I've worked with very outgoing/social dogs and don't get overwhelmed by their energy. I'm very patient, for older dogs I will walk extra slowly and for younger pups I will play fetch for as long as my arm allows. For owners, I will respect your home and clean up after myself, whether it's vacuuming a little dirt on the floor from daily walks or if it's a longer-term arrangement I will ensure all areas of your home are cleaned before leaving.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. They have ranged from small to large and all different breeds. I’ve even have experience taking care of an animal that needs extra help after a serious injury our dog lost feeling in both his back legs and couldn’t walk and we put serious time and dedication to helping him do at home physical therapy to make him better. I know what it’s like to have dogs and what comes with making sure when you leave they are taken care of. I work from home Full-time Monday through Friday. My husband works the weekends so I have lot of time to play with your fur babies. I have two friendly dogs and a cat in my home and can crate your dog if needed. My backyard is fully fenced in and spacious!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always been trusted to take care of friends/family’s pets. I always care for them like I would my own. I am currently a student at UCSB. I will be getting my Mechanical Engineer degree in June 2024. And afterwards, I will be available all day everyday to sit your doggos! (until my full time job starts) I treat every pet with care and show them all the love they deserve. In my home, I allow pets to lay on the furniture if they choose to and give them all the cuddles and pets they ask for.

Jennifer H.
“Jen has been my cat sitter numerous times. She's been able to handle Grendel who was old, cranky, loved to find plastic to eat, and occasionally bit out of spite as well as Lilandra who gets herself trapped in cabinets and over eats. Jen is great with cleaning up after them, making sure they didn't hurt themselves, playing with them, and giving them love.”

Alisha N.
“Alisha has been my “go-to” pet sitter for many years. She is not only responsible, but also truly loves the dogs. She has learned each of their personalities and gives them undivided attention and care. We have a rescue who is extremely skittish and only comes to me—not even my husband can care for her. But Alisha is able to pet her and give her treats. I am always better able to enjoy my time away because I know, without a doubt, that Alisha will care for my animals as she would her own.”

She keeps me updated on how they are doing and always reaches out if she has any questions, instead of ignoring any issues. If you are looking for someone who makes it as normal as possible for them when you are gone, handles any special requests that you may have, and is good to your pets in your absence, she is the one for you!”
