“Christina was great! She was responsive and good and communicating her visit and how my cat was doing during her time watching her. She took great care of my cat while I was out of town.”

About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for animals. I personally raised my sweet dog since she was just one month old, so I understand how to care for young puppies with tenderness and responsibility. I may not have formal experience, but I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and attention. I truly feel a connection with animals and enjoy making them feel safe and happy. I’ve also helped care for pets of family and friends, and I always do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the mornings and some afternoons or evenings. I enjoy being active, so going on walks or playing with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m very responsible with time, and I love spending quiet moments giving attention, cuddles, or just making pets feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I give them fresh water, food, walks, and lots of attention — always with love and patience. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, and I keep everything clean and organized. I also take time to connect with the pet, understand their behavior, and make them feel safe while their owner is away. I truly believe animals feel our energy, so I always bring calm, kindness, and warmth to their space. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my own dog.
“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
About: Hello, I am a mature adult (graduate of Cal State Fullerton) and a responsible small business owner trying to supplement my income, it’s been rough these past couple years for small businesses. I will be willing to provide my business address and contact information to make you feel more comfortable, know I am trustworthy, and know where you can find me if any issues arise. As a past pet owner, I know having as much information on a stranger staying in your home would have made me feel more secure about hiring a pet sitter/pet walker. I am an experienced past pet owner of 25 years, I have had pets most of my life. I can provide walking, sitting, or pet care in your own home. I love all animals and love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can also perform baths, light grooming, walking, food prep, and administer medication. In addition to caring for your four-legged family members, I am very responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. I will treat you the way I want to be treated in my business and my home. I love all animals and I am very comfortable with all animals. I am currently a responsible small business owner and I set my own hours and I can be flexible with schedules. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to have pets in my building so all pet care will have to be in your home. I will treat your home with the upmost respect, follow all directions, and leave your home clean and neat.
“Meghan went above and beyond all my expectations! I was leaving for a trip, and our dog sitter called out sick. Meghan gladly accepted our Bubba at the last minute. She regularly checked in with us, showing where he had walked, how happy he was with his new companion, and, most importantly, that he always had company. She was very communicative and understanding of his needs as an old Bubba American Eskimo.I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone needing a care giver for their furry baby. Thank you so much Meghan you're truly the best!!”

About: With 8 years of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy of feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and love each one like they’re my own. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or cuddly, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home so I am able to watch over the pups and take them out to go potty every 4-5 hours! Also, I am able to walk the pups in the morning and early evening so they can get their sniff on. We have a gated backyard with a grass that the pups can run around freely. We do spray the grass so minimize the spread of fleas! We also have a shaded area in the backyard where the pups can cool off if the sun gets too hot!
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.

About: A few years ago I was a private dog walker for a family who had a Pitbull mix and a Crocker spaniel.

I also have experience in giving insulin shots to cats and dogs! Now I’m in SoCal and would love to continue my journey in animal care! My main goal is to make sure you and your fur baby are content! I am currently putting my focus on dog walking so I have a lot of availability in my schedule! I still walk dogs daily (usually my friends or family) just so I can get my daily routine going. Hoping to get more clients in my schedule! I always make sure my environment is safe and clean for any animals that is present because their safety is my main priority.

They followed all of my instructions to the letter, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Their home is clean, welcoming, and perfect for pets. The backyard is especially nice—spacious, grassy, and secure—giving the dogs plenty of room to play and relax. It’s obvious that Jacklyn has experience with dog care; they were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. An added bonus: their own dogs are absolutely adorable and super friendly, which made the environment even more comforting for my pup. I would absolutely recommend Jacklyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

Cristina C.
“I had the pleasure of having Christina as my dog's walker and caretaker. Her care and dedication to the well-being of my dogs were truly remarkable. From the very beginning, it was evident she was extremely caring and reliable. Her love for animals shone through every interaction. She consistently went the extra mile to ensure my dogs received the best possible care. She provided the best support and compassion during both the energetic times and the sick and even end of life stages. Her kindness and understanding during the challenging moments were invaluable. Words cannot capture the extent of her greatness. She made a lasting impact on our family and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a walker and caretaker.”

I would highly recommend Rebecca for your dog walking needs!”
