“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“Always an amazing experience to have Brionna with our girls Maya and Hanna. She is reliable and responsible with pur girls needs, Always keep us updated and its a piece of mind to count with her when we are out of town.”
“Shauna was great! We booked her to house sit for 9 days. Visited twice before our booking to make sure her and our rescue dog were a good match. Sent us photo updates with how our dog was doing, and even went above and beyond by cleaning the sheets and towels so we got home to an already clean bed after a long day of travel. Definitely recommend”
“Sophia did a great job taking care of our dog and house. She was very communicative and reliable throughout the process. She is a pleasure to work with and shows a great deal of care for our dog.”
“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”
“Bridget was amazing! I felt that I could trust her right away. She was very responsive and punctual, and my babies loved her right away! She left the house spotless and followed all instructions perfectly. Would highly recommend!!”
“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”
“Raevyn was amazing with our senior dog while we went on 10 day vacation. She was timely and respectful, and always provided updates. Apple is not very friendly with strangers right away but with her she was immediately calm. Apple had a good time and we had a worry free vacation. We will definitely use her as our sitter in the future.”
“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!”
“This review is LONG overdue - but I wish I could give Kate 200 stars! She was awesome! Our house/dog sitter we've used for years left for college and we were in a jam to find someone for a trip in August. I am INCREDIBLY anxious about having strangers not just in our home, but caring for our 3 dogs. I had a horrible experience about 10 years ago - I'd left my little chihuahua mix with a friend's family to watch while I was traveling for work and they accidentally left the front door open - little Biscuit got out and was hit and killed by a car. Devastated and scarred is an understatement to how that has impacted me when leaving my furry babies with anyone since. But Kate was warm and lovely and cared for our brood like they were her own. We have a large (HYPER) german shep, a smaller 30lb dingo sized mutt, and a small Chiweenie:) Our home was taken care of, our dogs were safe and happy, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to have found someone we can trust! We will eleventy gajillion percent use Kate again! <3”
“Bronte was great with Riley! My anxious dog seemed at ease and happy with her. Bronte followed all the instructions and gave Riley her meds with no problems. I’d be happy to leave my fur baby with her again.”
About: I love dogs, cats, and everything in between! I’ve taken care of my brothers puppy for 5 months, my own dog for about 5.5 years, my grandmas and my aunts dogs for a few years, both of whom live farther away, and have given walks, baths, and naps to all of them. I am currently down from my studies at UC Berkeley back in my hometown of long beach, and am currently on break from my job up there so this is my main priority aside from mental health, but dogs solve that! My home is fenced in and in a nice neighborhood, I care for dogs with kibble-based meals, raw food meals, and everything in between, I have a large bathtub for any dogs, and will do whatever the owner would like at their home as well. I am a naturally clean person and will keep a client’s home very clean as well.
“Jessica provided excellent care to my two Viźslas, Ashford and Suede! My crazy high energy pups can be a handful! Jessica did a wonderful job with them. She was attentive, communicative, and present with them; and kept them on their routine. I heard from her throughout the day, and received a bunch of pics and updates! Making it easy for me to be comfortable and relaxed knowing my fur babies were being loved on! We've already booked another stay, just a few days away! Needless-to-say, I reccomend Jessica to care for your furbaby!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”
“Seth responded to our last minute request and was very responsive. The pets were well cared for, and he sent us multiple updates while we were gone! The house was super tidy when we got back, and he even left us with a cat toy. Would definitely book again!”

Alivia took wonderful care of our 2 dogs--giving them their daily medicine, taking them on just the right amount of walks (one of ours is a young active dog and the other is a senior dog with arthritis). She also sent us lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!
Shauna was absolutely fantastic! After an impressive meet & great with our pup & cat, where she made sure to understand their routine/rules, she stayed at our home and gave them lots of love and attention while giving us regular updates/pics. I’ve never felt more comfortable about leaving our babies. I’ll definitely request Shauna again!!
Wow! This surpassed every expectation I had; Glasgow was so happy and at peace for the 9+ day overnight trip while we were overseas. We've never had a formal house / pet sitter before, and we are so happy we found Denger — we're already re-booking them for future trips. :) Thank you for giving us the confidence and care...we're so thankful!
Charlie and I are so lucky and glad we found Bridget. She is knowledgeable and pleasant with Charlie. She kept me updated with videos and pictures. I could finally relax on a vacation without worrying ! The house was kept perfect. I absolutely plan on using Bridget again !
Riley was great! She left our home tidy and clean. She sent us lots of pics to update us which we really appreciated. Very easy to communicate with and she is quick to respond. Our girl Kita loved her. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again in the future :)
Michelle was fantastic with our little girl. Usually Bella barks at strangers, but immediately took to Michelle. She took excellent care of Bella and even helped to potty train her to pee outside. Michelle is the perfect dog sitter. She stayed at our house and left it immaculate. Hopefully she’s available for the next 15 years or so to watch Bella every time we go out of town.
Seth is absolutely amazing! I always trust my pup, Bradley is going to be well cared for when I book with Seth. On top of that he is so communicative and leaves your place very tidy and clean! I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting/walking/drop in needs if you are in Long Beach/Belmont Shore. Thank you Seth!!!
Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!
I am truly thankful to Sophia for sitting BlueLu. My girl can be a lot, but Sophia made me feel comfortable that she could handle her. Sophia was extremely flexible when I had to adjust my scheduled needs, and very communicative before the job as well as during. Hopefully she will be available for us in the future. I highly recommend booking Sophia to care for your pet needs!
