“Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.”

“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Clive is the best! He takes care of our dog like his own, we know our dog is well loved, lots of walks, play time, and cuddles. It’s truly the best gift of peace of mind to leave your dog with someone you know you can trust, and for us that is Clive!”

“Seng did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and our home while we were on vacation. Our dog had some separation anxiety while we were away but Seng handled the situation professionally. Highly recommend Seng and will book for future travel.”

“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
“Muhammad is a phenomenal dog sitter who earned our complete trust. He was amazing with our two Dobermans, remained highly responsive, and provided constant photo and video updates. When one of our dogs became sick, he handled the situation with total professionalism and compassion—even going above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog’s diarrhea. We are incredibly grateful for his care and will absolutely book him again!”

“Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.”

“Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”

“Mystyc was great with Jax! She was so friendly and they seemed to get along right away. She made me feel at ease with her experience with senior dogs and the care Jax needed. She sent me photos throughout the day and kept me up to date with everything.”

“Alia did a wonderful job caring for my dog, Daisy, as well as our outdoor cats. She provided consistent updates, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated her professionalism and clear focus on Daisy’s care and well-being. It was obvious she took her responsibilities seriously and treated our pets with genuine attention and kindness. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

About: Hi friend, I'm Sophia, and my partner and I would love to walk and care for your dog! You can trust that your furry friend will be in compassionate and experienced hands with me. I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was little, and I take pride in the trust and love that I've built with each animal. My experience spans walking, daycare, boarding, and more for both family and friends' dogs. I even fostered a sweet dog with anxiety for a year, ensuring they felt safe and loved. I've raised my dogs from young puppies through their senior years, and those who have crossed the bridge lived well into their late senior years, thanks to dedicated care. I have extensive experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, from house training energetic puppies to providing special care for incontinent seniors (ranging from 5 lbs to 125 lbs). Administering medications is also within my scope of care, ensuring your dog's health needs are met reliably. My friendly dog, a doodle, loves making new doggy friends and having playdates. I maintain a clean home with a fenced backyard because the well-being and safety of every dog I care for are my top priorities. You can trust me to provide a nurturing and secure environment for your beloved pet, always treating them with the utmost love and respect. I'm a full-time, pet-loving sitter you can trust completely. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and will have plenty of time to play with and nurture your pups. I am available 24/7 for boarding, daycare, and walking, ensuring your dog receives the attention and love they deserve at all times. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe, caring hands with me. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure environment for your furry pup. My friendly Golden Doodle will be a great companion, ensuring your dog has company and fun. You can trust me to take care of your pup 24/7, offering attentive and loving care whenever it's needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs over the past six years, labs, Maltese, golden retriever, poodles, and bullies. My variety of pet care and tasks range. I love dogs and will always make your pet feel loved and taken care of while you were away. I have dogs sat for puppies, as well as senior dogs, needing extra assistance. I will be on time and can feed, walk, play, and cuddle… Whatever is needed to make your dog feel seen. I am currently unemployed so dog sitting will be my number one priority. I am available any day at any times, whatever you may need! I understand every dog is different and has different boundaries and needs. I am more than willing to adjust to your home, set up gates if needed, clean up pee pads, play outside, adjust the temperature, etc. I typically dog sit in the client home, and I will do my best, making sure your dog remains comfortable and at peace in their own home!
“Brooke was a great caretaker of our dog Reilly! She stayed at our home with him, was very attentive and kind, and took him out on some great outings. She also did some training with him which we asked for and appreciated. Highly recommended!”


About: I have babysat: 1) a medium sized 50 lb hound mix dog for a month at a time every year for 13 years (over the course of its life time from when she was a puppy to death) whose personality was very energetic and anxious. It needed a lot of exercise everyday, stimulated play, and long walks which I happily enjoyed! But she also needed to be watched carefully to ensure she didn’t scare anybody by playfully jumping on them. She would tug a lot during walks and would get excited seeing other dogs but I’ve always managed to calmly steer her away if aggression showed or if the other person or dog she was meeting showed signs of being uncomfortable. This dog always stayed at my place when I babysat her. Made sure she was fed on time twice a day and provided fresh water everyday. 2) two cats at a month at a time for the past 4 years. Stayed at the owner’s place every time. Had to be fed at certain times twice a day, gave them treats throughout the day and attention whenever they requested it. Sometimes I would initiate the contact but if the cats weren’t feeling it, they would communicate it and I would stop. They were indoor cats so I also made sure that any windows that were open were secure and they couldn’t slip through. Had no issues of escaped cats. 3) an energetic 8 year old pomsky and an 18 yr old cat for 10 days. House-sat the owner’s place the entire time where I had to walk the dog 4 times every day at a set schedule and feed them both & provide medication to the cat at set times. The Pomsky was very energetic so also took the time during the afternoon to play with her when she had the zoomies. And have the cat tummy rubs and butt scratches whenever she requested it. 4) a large 50 lb, 2 year old, Old English Sheepdog (named Cura). House-sat & dog-sat Cura for 10 days in Los Angeles, CA. Highly energetic who needed a lot of exercise everyday. Very obedient and could be taken off leash. But I always establish a level of trust and learn the dog’s mannerisms before taking them off leash in the park or around the apartment/house block. Cura also had a tendency to be scared of aggressive dogs or loud noises so I always maintained a level of reassurance and safety with her. Also had to be aware of the high temperatures in LA (given the summer time), hence I’d walk her early in the morning and late at night. 5) a 5 yr old, 25 lb, hound whippet mixed dog named Phoebe - house sat and babysat her for 12 days. Highly anxious who needed to be administered an anxiety pill every morning and needed constant attention and long walks. 6) Hamsters - babysat them for a week at a time for friends whenever they went out of town. Fed and cleaned the box. Would occasionally bring it out of its cage to let it roam around the room in its ball. 7) I have my own pet - a red eared slider turtle who I claim to be my aquatic dog 😉. He is 18 years old and I got him when he was just the size of a quarter. But he gets excited to see me whenever I enter the room and will follow me in the apartment when I let him out to walk around. He can also recognize me out of a group of people! 8) I have a ton of plants that I have grown in the past 6 years - huge monstera (from a 1 foot baby to now a 7 ft giant with 30 inch wide leaves), verraccusum, constellation monstera, cacti, pothos, glorosium, etc. I’m currently unemployed (taking a hiatus from being an accountant in the corporate world) so I have all the time to take care of your pet(s). Available anytime to feed, walk, play, and assist in providing medication. I have a pet turtle that I’ve had for 18 years that I have by a sunny window. But every other day, I’ll let him out in the apartment to walk around and explore (but he will often just follow me around😉). I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs or cats so over the last few years, I’ve always taken care of pets at the owner’s place. Either living at their place or coming to their place at set times to feed and/or walk their pets.

About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.
“Brianna was a wonderful pup and house sitter this weekend. With frequent updates and pics I was able to enjoy a peaceful and fun weekend away. It was so nice to return to a happy pup and home. I look forward to the next time Brianna sits for us.”


About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid! My first dog was a Chow Chow when I was five years old, and I adored him until the day he passed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes with much joy to me. Friends and family often count on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their pets, and I genuinely love every second of it. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own. I am currently working part time as a Behavioral Aide for toddlers on the autism spectrum. Afternoon and evenings are open for me and I am avaliable for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during this slot. I will offer the best possible care for your pet during our walks and/or visits. I do not offer boarding in my home as my arrangements do not allow it but I am open to house sitting and providing your dog and feline friends what they need according to what you know is best for them!
“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”

“We are so happy we found Yvonne, what a great fur baby sitter! Sent tons of photos, very responsive when I reached out, and did not hesitate to askquestions if she felt unsure about something. We will for sure be booking her again if she’s available.”

Ben took excellent care of my dogs, Capucino and Alfalfa, with great patience and attention. Capucino can be quite a handful, but Ben handled him wonderfully and made sure both dogs were well cared for. I truly appreciated his reliability and kindness. I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Wiz and Daisy! We had never left our dogs with anyone and she made us feel completely at ease. The updates and photos throughout their stay gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.We could tell our dogs were comfortable with her from the first time they met her. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave our pups and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!

Christine stayed for several nights with our two dogs and two cats and it was a great experience. Our dogs have very different energy levels, as well as personalities, and Christine knew exactly how to manage both our senior dog and younger dog (and the cats!). I felt totally secure having the animals in Christine's care and peace of mind when I traveled. We would absolutely book with Christine again.

Gisselle was great watching our dog, Sasha, for the first time. She sent lots of pictures of our girl while we were away and gave periodic updates on how their day was together. Upon our return, the apartment is clean and Sasha is in great spirits. I can tell she was well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely be working with Gisselle again in the future!

Linda was awesome! Super communicative, timely, and kind to my overly nervous dog. She took the time to come out for a meet and greet before the sitting period so my dog could get accustomed to her, which was extremely appreciated. She sent lots of pictures even though I was only away for two nights which I loved!! She also left my house extremely clean and left my dog happy. Will definitely book again in the future if I ever need to go away again!

Regina did a fantastic job of watching our dog Daisy while we were in Asia for 3 weeks. It's a long time to be away and we were relieved that Daisy was so well-cared for. She got lots of love and attention. Regina communicated with us daily with pictures and updates. She took Daisy on walks, played with her and snuggled with her. We came back last night and Daisy was happy to see us, but looking for Regina. Also, Regina left our house neat and tidy, just like we left it. We are grateful to have had her watch our baby on this trip of a lifetime.

Kayla is amazing. She stayed at my home and took great care of my Tito. She was kind, punctual, and very honest. I really appreciated the way she handled everything, thank you Kayla and Sorry that Tito misbehaved a little Most importantly, my dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I’m very grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely book her again.

Leslie was a joy! Oreo immediately bonded to her and, while usually quite anxious when we leave, seemed very happy and excited to be spending time with her. She checked in regularly with pics and videos. We booked Leslie for an in-home sitter, and I would highly recommend her!

Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.

We are so grateful for the amazing care our pets received! Andrea went above and beyond: she sent us daily updates, kept us fully informed on how everyone was doing, and even brought food from her own dog when she noticed we were running low. She kept our home clean and tidy, followed every request we had, and made our animals feel safe, comfortable, and totally at home. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust wholeheartedly with our pets. We can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a truly thoughtful and reliable sitter.

Jess is an absolute gem of a sitter. She stayed with our two dogs for several days while we were out of town, took amazing care of them, and sent us lots of pictures. I *know* she took amazing care of them because in the photos, the dogs were being their normal and lovely selves. Plus, when we got home, they were well-rested and happy, and our little guy watched the street for a long time after Jess left. ("Where did my friend go?" was the caption under his cute face.) I will 100% hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing caretaker for their pets.
