“Jace is great. We have booked multiple house sittings with them. Photos and updates are provided regularly. Our dog and home are both well cared for by Jace each time. Highly recommended!”

“Lilly is an amazing sitter! We loved having her for our two dogs, Reagan and Mollie. She kept us informed throughout her stay and sent lots of pics with them snuggled up on her. They definitely loved her company. Highly recommend :)”

“Sara was amazing keeping me updated on Maddie’s wellbeing. When she met Maddie I could tell she loved animals. It was a load of my heart that my baby was cared for so well. Thanks Sara. Appreciate your help and thanks for the pictures.”

“Judy’s fantastic! She was great at communicating, great to work with, and most importantly, great with Wesley. We appreciate her watching over him and our home while we were gone!”

About: Hello all! I’m Alijah, a 5th year student at Fresno State studying animal science. I have 5+ years of service dog training experience and have house/pet sat for almost 10 years. I worked at Whitie’s Pets in Fresno for just under 5 years and have hands on experience working with livestock through Fresno State. In addition to service dog/obedience training I also have experience puppy raising and training. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or inquiries! Thank you 🐾 As I am a full time student, my schedule does vary depending on the semester although I am very flexible and able to check in on pets in between classes during the week. I can care for pets any day of the week. While I do periodically have service dogs in training housed with me I do not have one currently—only my small pet rabbit. I have a fenced yard, though it is not very large.
“Kaitlin did an outstanding job house and pet sitting for us. It was our first experience with Kaitlin. She was professional, responsible, and communicates well. She was on time and read through our instructions and did all that we asked. Our home was left neat and tidy, and our pets were worn out from all the play time they had with her. She paid attention to our cat who can be over looked or passed by because our golden loves to be the center of attention all day long. And that is much appreciated! She did a great job managing and loving on each of our pets individually. We will hire Kaitlin again.”


“Pups and kitty were well taken care of. I also forgot to disarm my house and Jason worked it all out with the alarm company.I will definitely use them again!”

About: I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I provide care that’s tailored just for them. From energetic puppies who need consistent training and play, to senior pets who deserve patience, gentle handling, and even medication support—I bring hands-on experience across all stages of life. What really sets me apart is the mix of reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I make sure routines are kept consistent, homes are safe and tidy, and pets feel comforted while their families are away. Growing up with animals myself, I treat every dog or cat as if they were part of my own family—because to me, they are. As an Assistant University Tennis Coach, I work afternoons from 12–5, which leaves my mornings and evenings open for pet care. Since I’m completing my master’s degree online, I can arrange my classes around sitting needs. Plus, I always have weekends free—perfect for longer stays, extra playtime, or extended care. This flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent attention and companionship while their families are away. provide care right in the comfort of your pet’s own home, so they can stay relaxed and happy in their familiar environment. I follow your routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles—while also keeping water bowls fresh and litter boxes clean. For pets with special needs, I’m comfortable with administering medications and giving extra attention to seniors or high-energy pets. I also make sure your home stays tidy and secure, so you can return to both a happy pet and a well-cared-for space.
“This is the 3rd time I’ve had Cathy stay at my house to dog sit while I’m on extended vacation. I have peace of mind knowing she will take good care of Leo and my house while I’m gone. When I return, my house is always in order and just like it was when I left. Leo is calm and unphased which is a good thing! She even washes the towels and bedding she used. She sends photos and texts on occasion which reassures me he is doing well. I highly recommend her services!”

“Margaret is phenomenal! We haven’t had someone watch our dogs for an extended amount of time before Margaret and feel so fortunate to have connected with her! We don’t plan to use anyone else!! Margaret goes above and beyond as a dog sitter and house sitter. We received photos and updates a few times each day and both our pups absolutely adore her!! So do we!! 10 out of 5 stars! Margaret is the best!!”

“We had Kaitlyn watch our pups twice and each time she was just amazing. The second stay was a longer stay and she put us at ease with constant check ins and pictures. We think our dogs loved her more than us at times 😅 highly recommend her to watch your furry friends!”

“Shawn took great care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats; especially my one dog who is reactive towards other dogs. He gave updates and pictures and made me feel better about leaving them with someone while I went home. He also was super helpful and flexible by being able to watch them an extra day when my flight had to be rebooked to the next day due to delays. If I didn’t travel for work (I’m only here for another 2 weeks) I would absolutely rebook with Shawn.”

About: I’m passionate about providing the best care for pets, no matter their age or needs. From my experience caring for Paris, who required medication on a schedule, I’ve learned the importance of attention to detail and consistency. I’m adaptable and enjoy creating a safe, enriching environment for pets to feel at home. Whether it’s taking a walk, giving medication, or offering companionship, I treat every pet with the love and respect they deserve. Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for by creating a flexible, loving environment. My schedule is designed to ensure that every pet receives the attention they deserve—whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles. I make sure to stick to feeding, medication, and exercise routines to keep pets feeling comfortable and secure. Each day, I dedicate time to ensure that each pet feels like they’re getting the best care possible, no matter what their specific needs are. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure, pet-proofed areas for play and rest. I keep all harmful substances out of reach, and my space is designed to be cozy and calming for all pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, including their preferences and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, ensuring a familiar and stress-free environment. I communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and reassurance. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved every moment of their stay.
“Thanh-Mai was absolutely incredible! We have a very anxious and nervous Dalmatian so we weren’t sure how our Ella would do for a full 8 days with someone new in her space but she had a blast! Thanh-Mai was open to multiple meet-ups so Ella could warm up to her. By the second visit Ella was stoked to see her which really eased any worries we had about leaving her. We received pictures and updates all throughout the week with careful attention to Ella’s feelings and reactions. Thanh-Mai stayed in our apartment to keep Ella in her usual environment and when we got home she had left the place so clean and neat! It made for such a nice arrival after two days of flying. We couldn’t recommend Thanh-Mai more! Thank you for creating such a safe space for our puppy!”

About: I grew up with many dogs and cats, and have a well-trained dog of my own. I’d love to hang out with your pets and give them the attention they need while you’re gone :) I’m currently able to make my own schedule, so I’m able to be flexible and work whenever needed! I’m avaible to house-sit in the evenings and over-night. I cannot take your pets into my home, but I can check in on your pets, feed them, bathe them, take them for walks, play with them, and whatever else may be needed!
About: I love animals I grew up around dogs, cats, birds and chickens! It doesn't matter the breed we'll be best friends right away! Can't wait to meet your furry friend! I have open availability. We can set up a time for afternoon visits or overnights! Get in contact and I would love to do a meet and greet! We have a spacious house, so there is room for a crate if needed. We also have a fenced in backyard with a pool of your dog likes to swim!
“Christina is a wonderful sitter! She clearly loves the fur babies and that is a two way street. She is timely, enthusiastic and sends the best videos and pictures. We had a couple of good sitters before Christina but when they weren't available, we had to go back to the Rover-Verse to find another one. She is the first sitter to get the fur babies to eat and handle their outdoor business consistently! We have a rescue dog as well as a cat who has recently transitioned to indoors and they both loved their time with Christina. That is a testament to her positive energy and true love for pets.”

About: I've taken care of dogs the past 6 years and for a short time in an animal hospital. I have spare time to give to your furry baby. I'm currently availability will be roughly after 4pm during weekdays. For the weekends I can drop by early am, mid-day and or end of night check-in. House-sitting TBD. 🐶🐱💖 I have a fenced in yard out back, covered patio to escape from sun or rain, and a grass area for your fur babies much needed zoomie session.
“It practically to the point where I'll plan my vacations around Rita's availability - I'll go only when Rita can stay with Dobbie! I trust Rita completely, and the dog adores her. It just doesn't get any better than that!”
