“My fiancé and I are so happy we found Bennie and Jennie to watch our 2 cats. We were impressed by their professionalism and their excellent communication. They gave us priceless peace of mind while we were on an overseas trip. When we returned, our home was spotless and our kitties happy. We would love for them to sit again anytime.”
“Michelle was great with our babies. She took the time to come and meet them ahead of time which we so appreciated. She was immediately comfortable with our pups and that”
About: We love taking care of pets in our spare time. I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs 🐶 🐱 And I always make sure your pets are well taken care of and that you can rest assured your babies are safe and happy. Note on Boarding Services: We’re currently only boarding 1 dog at a time. Whenever I’m dog sitting at my house, I make sure the dogs have a great time! We take frequent walks in my neighborhood. We sometimes take them to the beach, park or hike. If agreeable, I try to take the dogs out with me as much as I can, so that they are stimulated and well taken care of! I don’t have any pets of my own currently so I find that makes it even easier and better of an experience for pets I’m watching! I usually walk pets throughout the day as I like to get walks and exercise in. Since I WFH, I’m also available to play with pets more often, so I can keep them pretty active if needed! Creating a safe, fun environment for your pet is most important! I find it’s best to get some guidance from pet owners to know what routine the pet is used to, what their personality is like, etc. That way I can help your pet feel at ease and be as happy as possible while you’re away!
“Roxy is a gem! My dogs are always so relaxed staying with her. She is great at keeping in touch and sending photos multiple times a day. I am very confident in her abilities and care. Til next time!”
“Once again Breanna did an excellent job watching our dog Sasha. Breanna is very professional and always provides updates on how Sasha is doing. Sasha loves it when Breanna stays with her. I would highly recommend Breanna to care for your fur buddy. Thanks Breanna!!!”
“Shianne did a great job at staying with of our dog while we were away. She is friendly, professional, and respectful. Most of all, she really takes special care of our dog. Such a big relief to know that he's in good hands.”
About: We both grew up with dogs and have always loved having them around. We’re an active couple who genuinely enjoys walking and taking care of pups—we treat every dog like they’re part of the family. We don’t have one of our own just yet, but we definitely plan to once we’ve got the right space. In the meantime, we love spending time with dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies to mellow seniors. We’re experienced, caring, and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Pet care fits easily into our routine! I work fully remote from home, and Sam is a teacher with summers off. Our flexible schedules mean one or both of us is almost always available to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, we’re reliable and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether we’re in your home or ours, your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We follow all your care instructions closely and make sure they feel secure and loved. During walks or sitting, we stay attentive, keep pets on leash in safe, familiar areas, and always meet them at their energy and comfort level. Building trust with your pet—and with you—is at the core of how we care for every animal.
“I am so grateful for Damariz! She was the best ever and my kitty Trinity absolutely loved her. I was sent pictures each and every day and I could feel in my heart that my fur baby was loved and taken care of. So happy to have found you! Xoxo - Jessica 🦋”
“Brayli looked after my 4 year old anxious Cockapoo Oscar for a couple of nights at our house while we were out of town. She did a wonderful job taking care of him and making sure his routine was followed as closely as possible. Highly recommended.”
“Ryley is very caring and did a great job with my dog's schedule and medication needs while house sitting for me. She even had to deal with an unexpected hotspot that popped up on my dog while I was out of town. She did a great job trying to handle the situation and make my dog comfortable until my return. I will definitely rebook with her. Thanks again for taking good care of Zoey!”
About: Hi there! I’m a huge dog lover and have been around dogs my whole life whether it was my dogs or taking care of my neighbors dogs as a kid. I have a sweet pup named Olaf, and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just giving your furry friend some love and attention, I’m here to help! You can trust that your dog will be treated like family. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s weekday walks or weekend stays, I can adjust to fit your pet’s needs I have a fenced backyard with grass separated from a pool, which your pup can gladly use if they like to swim. I have a small Maltese who can keep them company.
“Erin was great! She constantly gave me updates and sent me pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“Excellent sitter! Tucker was a happy boy hanging out with Rita. I felt very confident in her ability to care for Tucker. We received updates and pictures daily. We will continue to book her services for our next needs.”
“Suzanne was extremely caring and gentle with my sensitive doodle Romeo. She brushed him as he sat next to her and he loved it. It looked like he had been to the salon when I got home! Thank you, Suzanne!”
About: I began working as a professional trainer, dog walker, and pet sitter, taking care of any animal one considered a pet whether it's a mammal, fish, reptile, amphibian, or a bird. I stopped training and sitting with the company after three years but have continued to walk and sit for new and returning clients, friends, and family members. I have pet CPR and first-aid certification and plenty of experience with administrating medication (i.e. oral and intravenous). I also have experience taking care of seniors and disabled dogs (i.e. epilepsy and diabetes), and training puppies. I am not currently working any other jobs or in school so I have all the time in the day to care for pets and people's pet needs I care for every client pet as if they were my own. I've had dogs my entire life and currently have a cat and a tarantula. I treat every living being as though they are sacred and fully aware of their life and I enjoy giving pets a positive experience.
About: With over 400 hours of volunteer service at my local animal shelter, two years of hands-on internship experience at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter, and countless hours spent pet sitting a wide variety of animals—from horses to hamsters—I have developed a deep understanding of animal care and behavior. My diverse background has taught me how to respond to the unique needs of each animal, whether it's providing comfort, administering care, or simply offering companionship. This combination of formal training, volunteer service, and real-world experience makes me a dedicated, responsible, and knowledgeable caretaker who will treat your pet like family. Taking care of animals is part of my everyday life. I start with my own pets—feeding, walking, and giving them some love. Then I head out for pet sitting and dog walking jobs. Every day’s a mix of walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make it a priority to meet every animal’s individual needs—whether that means administering specific veterinary care or simply offering comfort, play, and companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and health requirements. For some, that might involve giving medications on schedule, managing special diets, or monitoring for specific health concerns. For others, it could be making sure they get plenty of playtime, long walks, or just quiet snuggles on the couch. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment, treating every pet as if they were my own.
“Ellie was fantastic! She took great care of my 6yo golden retriever. He was very happy!”
“Frances took such good care of Bailey! She communicated often and made sure to give Bailey plenty of snuggles and attention (he has major separation anxiety). She also gave me peace of mind knowing that Bailey was in the best hands while I was on a work trip. I will definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend :)”
About: I grew up with dogs (a Corgi before a German Shepherd), as well as cats. As an adolescent, I attended a UC Davis Behavioral Training Program specifically for the German Shepherd breed. I learned more about why dogs bite, and how to train them to behave. My BA in psychology (hey, gotta try to milk my college degree) reinforced many of the concepts in the animal behavioral training program I'd previously attended. Positive reinforcement is one of my favorite training techniques. I love using vocal positivity (praise), as well as toys and (if okay with the owner) treats to help pets be their best selves. Pet care is something I miss when I'm not already teaching puppy yoga on Saturdays and Sundays. Since I don't currently have a pet of my own, I'd love to use my free time to pet-sit someone else's furry friend. I care for pets the way I've cared for my own in the past: with unconditional love and attentiveness. I've learned how different pets are, and the importance of catering my approach to match whatever each animal needs.

Lisa was amazing! She sent tons of update pictures and videos, so we knew our puppy was ok and having a good time! Very kind and nice! I would absolutely recommend her, if you are looking for someone to watch your pets!
Brynn was amazing, I felt confident in her abilities to take care of our pups. Super communicative, really took the time to understand all care instructions! I feel like she left our place cleaner than we left it.
Shianne took wonderful care of our cat. She was very communicative and great about sending updates. She took good care of the house and left it clean and tidy. We would definitely hire her again.
Thanks to Michelle's care of our girl Layla we were able to enjoy our vacation. Michelle is the most amazing dog walker & sitter! She is very kind & experienced, on time & reliable. We are thankful & appreciative to have Michelle care for Layla whether it's for neighborhood walks or dog sitting in our home while we are on vacation. We highly recommend Michelle!
Breanna did an amazing job with our dogs! They’re a a couple of oldies that can be very particular, but she took it on without a problem — we would def have her back again!
Sarah did such a great job! Our animals loved her. She was extremely attentive, sent us photos, and flexible when our plans had to change. We will definitely be using her again!
Maddie was FANTASTIC!!! She tool such GREAT care of our two dogs!!💞💗💕 She loved them just as much as we do!! She walked the dogs 3-4 times a day. She sent us pictures and videos everyday!! We will hire Maddie again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Maddie to anyone who wants their dogs loved while they are away! It was the longest we have ever been away from our dogs, so it was so nice to have them being treated so great!!
Frances is a great seater, not only with my dog, but also caring for my home. Will definitely will hire her again.
Megan did a house-sit for 10 days for us. She's very professional with check in's every day and updates on our kitty and the house. When we got back, we couldn't even tell that she was here. Our kitty was happy to see us and she did not display an anxious behavior which tells me that she was super content with Megan. I am really happy that Megan was available for this sit because she put me at ease with being away for so long and so far away. I could just relax knowing everything at the house and our fur child was being taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who's looking for a dependable and trustworthy person to care for their pet (and house).
Monica is the best sitter we’ve had. I rebook her constantly and wouldn’t want anyone else watching my fur baby. She’s communicative and gives updates and makes sure you know your pet is in good care.
Vanessa is fantastic and so easy to work with. Our dog Fisher adores her, and it's evident from the photos Vanessa always provides that the feeling is mutual. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!
Liz was so great! She took care of my dog while I was on vacation and she made sure to follow all instructions and sent updates and pictures regularly. She was very responsive to messages which I appreciated. Would definitely recommend her and I plan to book her again in the future!
Alexia did a great job. She sent photos to let me know that everyone was doing well. I'd happily have her again!
Brayli looked after my 4 year old anxious Cockapoo Oscar for a couple of nights at our house while we were out of town. She did a wonderful job taking care of him and making sure his routine was followed as closely as possible. Highly recommended.
Kaitlyn was awesome!!!! I will continue to ask for her help to take Ginger on long walks since I have a crazy long day work schedule! Thanks again!
Darren was fantastic with our shepherd puppy. Our pup is young and cannot be left alone yet. Darren stayed for 4 nights (5 days) and gave plenty of updates with photos and videos. Added bonus he introduced Odin to other dogs (always asking beforehand) so our pup had plenty of human and puppy playtime. When we came home our pup was happy and tired.
Ryley takes great care of our dog! She is responsive, communicates well, and keeps not just our dog, but our home in safe hands.
Lilly did great with our dog Vito, who is very territorial and is a great guard dog. She was patient with him, communicative with us, and was extremely easy to work with! Would absolutely ask her to sit our dog again.
