Chunli did a great job with our cat Sunny. Followed our instructions and worked to gain the our kitties trust. She was punctual and was very responsive. She was also really receptive to suggestions to help to get sunny more comfortable with her. She also helped bring in our packages while we were gone. Would definitely book her again. :)

When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!

I was away for 11 days while Devon looked after my cat, Tito, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent thoughtful daily updates and the sweetest photos of them playing and cuddling together—I loved watching their bond grow over the week. It was clear Tito felt safe and happy, which made it so much easier for me to be away. Devon even stayed a little longer on some days just to spend more time with him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

About: I've taken care of aggressive dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. I am reliable, communicative, and I love being with animals. As a teacher, I get summer vacations, so I have a free schedule to devote to petsitting. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, for short or long periods. I have experience taking care older dogs, and I'm also comfortable around dogs with behavioral problems. In every case, I'm attentive to the animal's needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Being around animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy building trusting, loving relationships with the pets I care for. I’m a dedicated animal lover who adores both dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I always provide patient, reliable, and attentive care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and ensure their pets feel happy, loved, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, as I am fully available and able to dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. This flexibility allows me to focus on each pet’s individual needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and ensure they receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they are in my home or in my client’s home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel safe and relaxed. I also keep the environment clean and secure, follow any special instructions provided by pet parents, and always prioritize the pet’s safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I have special skills in senior care and animals who need special care post surgery. I have about 3 dogs and 1 cat who are all seniors. The first dog I adopted millie was on the older side and as the years gone by I have learned and educated myself on how to properly care for senior dogs, and the most important thing I have learned is patience is key. My oldest dog millie also had multiple surgeries due to cancerous tumor that spread. Thankfully she is fine but after many surgeries I have learned the skills on how to properly take care of dogs post surgery. I also have lots of experience with kittens from my time volunteer at a feline rescue. I am a UCLA student who does this work during my summer break. I am available from beginning of june-end of september. I will also be working a job that are about 5.30 hours each shift 4 days a week. Depending on exactly what day of the week you need I can work around your schedule. My other summer job is very flexible however my shifts are usually at night. Depending on what you need I can be very flexible so we can also talk more in detail. I do not offer services for pets to stay at my home however I do travel to my clients homes. When taking care of my clients pets I make sure to prioritize safety, routine, be attentive, and cleanliness. I also make sure that all animals receive their walks and all physical activity required.

About: I work from home, which means your dog gets attention all day, not just morning and evening! Since I was a teenager, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs, and that trust has only grown. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages - from a 9 year old Shih Tzu to an 85-pound Doberman - and I treat every dog like my own. I live in Del Mar, surrounded by green spaces and parks, so your dog will get 3–4 walks a day in a beautiful area. I live with my husband who is another dog lover! Here’s what you can count on from me: - Frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing - Strict adherence to your specific instructions and routines - A calm, loving home environment with no other pets I’d love to meet your dog and learn what makes them wag their tail! Feel free to reach out with any questions :) **Lastly, I go by Valentina (middle name) - that’s why you see that name in some of the reviews** Schedule: I work from home in Software Sales with a flexible calendar, so I can easily work around your dog’s existing routine - whether that’s a mid-morning walk, a post-lunch nap, or an afternoon play session. Weekends I’m even more available My home is calm, pet-proofed, and free of other animals. I’m also trained in oral medication administration, so dogs with special health needs are always welcome.

I am so grateful to have found Nataliya. I have a large, anxious dog that requires someone who is patient and willing to put in the extra effort to make him feel comfortable.
