“Stephanie was a wonderful caretaker for our two elderly pit mixes while we were away for the week! She was communicative, flexible and patient, and our home was in great shape when we returned. We will not hesitate to book with her again.”


“I am so grateful for Erica!! She has kept my dog (9 year old goldendoodle) and cat (1 year old) countless times!! My pets absolutely adore her and she always treats them like her own! She is very communicative, friendly, trustworthy, caring, and even sent pictures of them all the time when I was away! She is a pet lover herself and got just as excited to see my animals as they did to see her. You won't find a better pet sitter!! - love Savannah T., Piper, and Goose”

“Lamar was awesome! We went across the country for a week while he stayed in our house and watched our bearded dragon and somewhat fiesty old english sheepdog and he was great! A true professional from the meet and greet through the visit. Great communication, pictures throughput the stay, and we came home to a clean house and healthy happy pets. I highly recommend Lamar for house and pet sitting.”


“Jimena was amazing, she took very good care of my cat. She left the apartment very clean, even washing the sheets and taking out the trash which we did not require she do. She was very communicative and sent updates often. My cat seemed to love her more than me lol would 100% recommend her.”


“My pups loved Alexandra the moment they met her, and that's a huge sign for me. She loves and cares for them like they are her own. She communicates constantly and is always great about taking photos of them. I would book her over and over again.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have taken care of many from different sizes, ages and breeds. I believe I am a great person for the job because I will make sure that your pet is treated very well and has a great day while being apart from their owner. I’m always active which helps with going on walks especially if they like long walks. You can always count on me to be there when need and go above and beyond my efforts to make sure your dogs are given a great experience and you as well. I’m currently looking for a job during the summer and will be attending saddleback community college in the fall but as of now I’m very open with my schedule. I will follow all given directions and schedule. Make sure to give them attention and take them out to go to the bathroom or walk. Will make sure there is food and especially water accessible for the dog always. And I will of course make sure doors that need to be locked are locked before I leave your dog.

“Mandi was great. The boys seemed very content. My dog requiring shots was not apprehensive after which speaks positively. Would definitely recommend.”


“Tatum is a rockstar. She goes above and beyond for our pup and is happy to fill in at the last minute. She’s not intimidated by our dog’s reactivity and she takes the initiative on communication. Can’t recommend her enough.”


“I highly recommend her! She took care of our dog when our dog wasn’t feeling well. She’s very compassionate towards animals and she was great with communication with me, I was so worried about our dog because she was ill, so I texted her a lot! She was comfortable with giving medication and has experience.”


“Dana is awesome! She has such a warm and welcoming presence. She was extremely attentive to both our cat and dog, sent the perfect amount of updates and check ins, and our house was in perfect condition when we got back. Our animals thoroughly enjoyed Dana’s company and will be absolutely be using her as our pet sitter again!”


About: Looking to love on some adorable pets who may need a walk or some extra love. This is the first time in 25 years I have not had a pet in my home. It is sad, but also giving me the opportunity to care for your pets:) I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, frogs, lizards, rabbits, goats, etc:) I am active and enthusiastic so able to provide them with love and care. *free pick up and drop off from the Dana point ritz Carlton and Waldorf Astoria! I work from home, so I am flexible to work around your pet's routine. I can adjust my schedule to fit Their walk and eating schedule I enjoy having pets around as I work from home during the day. I prefer they are with me and feel safe and secure:) I have a one-level open home, so I am always near by. Bedroom doors are closed during the day. I may have errands that take me out of the house during the day for 1-3 hours. But this is not everyday.

“Lauren took excellent care of our two cats and dog while we were gone for a week. She sent daily updates, was very communicative, gave Dolly medicine and took her on great walks and beach strolls. She also kept our apartment very clean and was very thoughtful. Absolutely would have her watch our team of animals again any time!”


“Peri was the primary caregiver for our beautiful Golden Retriever Ruby for the majority of Ruby's 13 years. Ruby was an incredibly loving dog, but the love that Peri showed Ruby was also amazing. For most of Ruby's life, she lived in Mammoth. So in addition to the typical care that Ruby needed, Peri also protected Ruby from coyotes and bears. Peri is ready to keep your pet safe no matter what comes its way! Peri is a dog lover through and through, and you can be sure that she will give your pet a big load of love.”

If you are looking for a excellent pet sitter, I would highly recommend Bri.”

We will definitely use Olivia again!”
