“Kate is so trustworthy & patient. She is always finding different ways to help us with our difficult dog from the type of treats, to ways of approaching her. We are truly grateful for her. She did an overnight and kept our babies safe and took care of them. We will continue to use her because she is so dependable and trusting.”


“Laura was a pleasure to have as a sitter! I needed a sitter quick to watch my doggy as I had to leave out of state for family matters and she answered! She was friendly, approachable, a pleasant to work with. Her communication is excellent! I’ll definitely be booking with Laura in the future!”


“From the first time my dog and I met Cassandra, I knew he’d be in good hands immediately and she proved that today. She house sat for me and took care of Riley and when she arrived, was very attentive to the care he required and that made me feel at ease entrusting him to her while I was away. She will definitely be my go to sitter moving forward and should be yours too!!”


“We couldn’t be happier with Brionna’s performance watching our beloved 14 year old puppy. We’ve never been away from her for 5 days before and we could tell from the wonderful pictures Brionna sent that she was relaxed and happy, which made it a relaxing trip for us. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but she deserves lots of praise for what she did, looking out for our house as well as being a great dog sitter!”

“Joanna stayed in our home for the weekend and cared for our three month old puppy and 3 year old cat while we were gone. We were so nervous leaving our puppy for the first time but it was clear very quickly that he was in great hands with Joanna. She was amazing!! She provided regular updates, followed the instructions we left to a T, left the place spotless when she departed, and most importantly, clearly took great care of our pets. We will look forward to working with her again.”



“Nadina did an excellent job caring for my senior dog while we were gone for a very long day. She was very reliable and sent great update messages and photos. Would definitely call Nadina again!”


“Lissi was very caring and thorough in taking care of our 10 month old puppy today. She was attentive to Gracie's needs and even took her for a little run and did some training, which was above and beyond. And she stayed a few minutes late because I was delayed in getting home from my state park job.”

“Justine was very patient and willing to work with me when snowstorms and flooding threw a wrench into my holiday travel plans. She was great about communicating with me during her stay, especially about my pup's picky eating habits and his medication. I know both my boys can't wait to have her sit for them again.”

I was able to enjoy our weekend away because I could rest easy knowing that our pups were safe and loved. Evynn sent us frequent pictures and videos to keep us updated during her stay. We appreciate that very much! We look forward to having Evynn dog-sit and house-sit for us again!”


About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a lifelong dog lover based in Lakewood, CA, where I live with three rescue pups. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid - from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. Nowadays I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. With a career in government and politics, I bring the same level of professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail to every walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll or a high-energy adventure, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let’s get those tails wagging! Right now, I’m focusing solely on dog walking and pet care as I take a break from my full-time career. I’ve always loved being around animals, and this time has given me the opportunity to fully dedicate myself to caring for dogs—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Since my schedule is currently flexible, I’m able to prioritize each pup’s unique needs and build consistent, dependable routines with them. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about every day. While I don’t offer care in my own home because I have three rescue dogs, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I believe dogs feel most comfortable and secure in their own space, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or cuddle time. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes for peace of mind.


“Shauna was great. We were a little nervous leaving our new puppy and senior dog but Shauna made us feel at ease and that our babies were in good hands. She kept us posted on what was going on at home while we were away. Our boys can be a handful but Shauna was calm and confident in giving them the best care while we were away. She respected our home and treated our dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”


About: I got my first puppy when I was 9, and from that moment on I was in love. Friends, neighbors and family have had me watching them ever since. Feeding, walking, house sitting, and even health care. As a lifelong animal lover, nothing would make me happier than to help met your animals needs! Life and work make finding time for our furry friends hard sometimes, so let me help you help them. I am a working actor so the vast majority of my work is taping auditions from home, which means I have ample time for your pets whenever you need. Whatever your needs, I can meet them. For extreme cases, just message me! If you have an especially energetic pup, I can take them roller-skating and get that cardio in!

“Kate has been taking care of my boys for a few months and she's so kind and patient. Irreplaceable as a sitter!”


About: I grew up in Colorado and have always had a dog, big to small, young to old. Letting them express themselves and use their energy makes for a good doggie. I currently have a very playful westie that spends most of his time right by my side. Our backyard has many places to zip around and places to nap. I currently have a very open schedule in the lakewood / long beach area. Please let me know your scheduling needs are and we will make these dogs smile! I have a backyard which is gated with high walls. We currently have a westie, he is very energetic and loves playing with other dogs.
