About: I've always been a dog-lover and have owned a dog since I was young. I stay up to date with what is good or bad for my dog and always make sure to educate my family on what I recently learned. My schedule states I am available midday. This is only true for Fridays and weekends. My schedule states I am available early morning. However, I am available before 7:30am on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding my schedule :) I work from home so I can easily fit in a quick drop-in or walk. I also get off from work early on Fridays, so I will have more time on that day. For pet sittings, I am available during the week however, I do work from home. So I only ask if Wi-Fi can be provided with the stay. I will make sure to get familiar with the boundaries of the client to ensure I know what is or what is not allowed. I will keep an eye on the pet and ensure the house is in the same condition as it was left.

“I was very nervous to have charlie out for a walk as I did not know how well my goofy puppy would do but Elyssa was great with my charlie! She was very communicative and kept me up to date on everything. I definitely will be using her in the future!”
4. Shenhong H.
“I highly recommend Beatrice! She tended for my little white fluffball whole heartedly and also ensured that I received frequent reports that she was catering for my guy’s needs and comfort. She loves animals genuinely and this was evident which made me know I will request her to take care of my son again.”

About: I’ve always loved animals. I’ve watched several family & friend’s pets over the years. I’m the person they call when they need a sitter while on vacation, a night out or even for work. I will make sure your dogs & cats have play time with get all the belly rubs they want, walked, well fed, and most importantly safe at all times. I’m super passionate about treating your fur babies with the upmost love and care !! I know it can be super scary to trust anyone with your babies as well as your home, however with 2 years of experience with pet sitting I can assure you are in good hands. If you have any questions feel free to ask me !! I also would love to discuss everything your pet needs to have the proper care they need because every pet is different. Any details about your fur baby would be greatly appreciated. I also want to mention that there are times I do take in multiple dogs so if that’s something you are uncomfortable with I just wanted to give a heads up so you don’t waste your time ! I never take in more than three dogs at a time and if you need / want your dog to be separated from other dogs I can definitely make that happen just let me know ! Thank youuu :) I’m currently a part time student going to school for radiology. I am also a part time babysitter (I babysit for baby in profile picture). I have a pretty flexible schedule due to me taking online classes. I can provide my fenced backyard or I can keep your pet inside my home. Which ever you prefer and recommend for the best care for your pet. I’ll be happy to work with whatever your pet needs !

“Great job.”
7. Julio V.
“Julio is great with dogs, as soon as my pitt saw him he liked him and that put me at ease since I will be traveling for a week. He made me feel very comfortable and my dog, I don't think I could've find a better person for this job!”
8. Paula H.
“Paula is my first walker using this app and she has done great with BB (my dog). She is prompt for bb’s appointments and follows the guidance I provide them when it comes to caring for BB. I recommend Paula for dog walks for anyone interested in that service.”
9. Kameron H.
“I am very happy with the service provided by Kameron. She is an exceptional caretaker, very warm and friendly. My fur baby loves her, they bonded right away. She’s reliable and her rates are very reasonable.”
10. Michelle S.
“Michelle is the perfect caregiver for your four legged friend. I've never seen a dog that didn't like her. She enjoys taking them on walks and playing with them, but what I found important was that she was calm and cool enough that the dogs around her followed her lead.”
11. Mikayla M.
About: I've taken care of puppies, senior dogs, cats, rescues, couch potatoes, excitable jumpers, you name it! I've been working with animals since I was 11 years old. I earned my Silver Award in Girl Scouts volunteering with The Lovejoy Foundation (an animal rescue service based out of Inglewood, CA.) I pet sat all throughout high-school, which included duties such as: feeding (kibble, wet food, raw, etc.), regular walking, potty training, giving medicine, playing, and bonding. From 2018 to 2020, I worked as a Sales Associate at Pet Food Express in Rolling Hills, CA. I underwent 10-weeks of extensive training learning about animal behavior and nutrition, specializing in canine and feline diet. I'm confident in my ability to provide the care and attention your fur baby needs. I'll protect and treat them as if they were my own! I'm currently a full-time student at the University of California, Irvine and am looking to work between 15-25 hours per week. My availability is subject to change depending on my class schedule for the quarter. As of right now, I'm available Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 7am-3pm. *Starting April 1st, I will be available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday (same time). I can follow feeding schedules (ex. kibble, canned, freeze-dried, and raw), practice crate training, obedience training, learn to work with different types of leashes (standard, chain, harness, lead, etc.), and give your fur baby ENDLESS love and affection.
12. Corina A.
“Corina is awesome!! She’s walked my 75-lb. pit bull 3x so far and is now my weekly go-to walker. She responds quickly, is flexible, and reasonably accommodating. I’ve been impressed with her dog handling skills as we’ve walked together with my other dog”
13. Celeste C.
“It was our first time using Celeste but we will definitely be rebooking with her. She came a day before to get to know our dog, the area and exactly what we needed. Although we didn’t need a full 30 minute walk for him everyday she still gave him one and we really appreciate it! She sent an update with pictures each day too! Thank you Celeste!”
14. Maria M.
“Maria has 2 dogs and takes care of them. She cares deeply about pets and completing assigned tasks. Maria likes to go beyond of what she's asked to do. She enjoys being around pets. She also takes it as a responsibility.”
15. Cheyenne T.
“Cheyenne did an excellent job checking in on our fur babies! She really helped us out walking our big dog (110lb Rottweiler) every day while we were away and was always so patient, thoughtful, and professional! She sent cute photos and great updates after every walk. We couldn’t have found a better dog walker!”
16. Brianna C.
“Super friendly (with me and my doggo)! I contacted Brianna last minute, and she was able to accommodate. Definitely having her help us out again!”
17. Karen O.
“Karen brings an incredible warmth and dedication to her pet care, ensuring that every animal feels safe and loved in her presence. Her extensive experience caring for pets, both personally and professionally, demonstrates her commitment to their well-being. Karen is not only attentive to their needs but also approaches each day with a positive attitude and genuine kindness, making her an exceptional caregiver. Her ability to connect with both pets and their owners reflects her outstanding customer service skills, as she goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and trust-filled environment. Overall, Karen is an awesome human being whose passion for animals shines through in everything she does, and I wouldn’t choose anyone else to be the caretaker of any of my little angels.”
18. Allen M.
“Thank you Allen for continuing to walk and help Avi. I really appreciate you working with him and listening to our needs. I know you’re one of the best things for him right now!”
19. Cynthia D.
“Hello, my name is Jose David Gomez and Cynthia found my Dads Beagle at the park back in July while she was at her daughters practice. She said it had got dark and everyone was leaving and my Dads dog Joey was still walking around alone. Joey takes meds for heart and kidney problems but what is extra special about this story is that my Dad died a few months prior to this day and my mom who is 88 was so sad without Joey who reminded her so much daily of my Dad. Cynthia kept Joey for 4 nights and posted on different sites for lost and found dogs and thats how we found him. When I went to pick up Joey she pretty much tested me and Joey to make sure he would run to me without me calling him cuz she said "theres alot of weirdos everywhere and you never know". She reached out to me by text today to ask if I could write a review and I am happy to tell you that she is awesome and she reunited my mom with not only Joey but my Dad in a way.”
20. Madeline F.
“Madeline would be a responsible and loving dog caregiver because she loves animals, loves the outdoors and is very energetic. She is always playing games with her own dog and getting him outside to exercise regularly.”
