1. Sunny M.

“Sunny took good care of our dog for 3 days and was good with communication and timeliness. College students' non-smoking house shared with her brother and another roommate. Has an unfenced pool in the backyard so only able to run in the yard if someone was outside with him. She took him for neighborhood walks. He seemed happy and well cared for when we picked him up.”


2. Grace L.
“Grace has watched my dogs on many occasions, I have 2 golden retrievers ages 4 and 6. She has spent the weekend at my house while out of town, walked them daily and was great.”

About: I've owned multiple dogs from seniors to puppies and I will treat your pet with the same care I treat my own. At my house they will be able to play and relax to their heart's content. I work from home so your pet will be able to freely go in and out as they please, with some pets and playing in between! I have a fenced yard and a young lab mix to keep your dog company. I can administer medicine, kennel, or care for your dog and their schedule any way you need.


4. Carey C.

“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog, Alpha, for the first time. She made Alpha and I welcome from the time we first met her. She gave us lots of updates. The videos of our dog doing tricks was cute and she also sent pictures of the different routes they took for walking. She communicates very well. We will definitely use her again.”


5. Daniela M.

“Daniela was fantastic!! My little pup had another dog lunge at and bite him the morning we went to her so he was very sensitive. She was amazing (as was her whole family) with him. Gouda also loves their dog and was so happy there overnight. She provides so many updates which calmed my nerves. Thank you so much!”

9. Leora T.
“Leora is the perfect person to trust with your beloved dog! As a devoted dog lover, she will care for your furry friend as if it were her own. Other than taking care, she’ll also keep your dog entertained with plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re never bored.”

About: Hello! Thank you for considering my profile. I am a compassionate and dedicated Veterinary Assistant with a deep love for animals. I graduated from UCD, where I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the veterinary field. With a strong sense of empathy and a natural ability to care for creatures of all kinds, I play a vital role in supporting veterinary teams to provide high-quality care. From administering medications to assisting in diagnostic procedures, I ensure that animals receive the best possible treatment. My responsibilities extend beyond routine care, including managing medication schedules, monitoring animal health, and offering comforting support to pet owners during difficult times. Whether it's providing post-operative care or preparing animals for their exams, my hands-on approach ensures that every animal is treated with the utmost respect and kindness. My attention to detail and dedication to improving the well-being of every animal I encounter make me an invaluable part of any team. I am focused on continuous learning and growth, always seeking to expand my knowledge and skill set in the veterinary field. With my caring nature and unwavering commitment to animal welfare, I am not just a veterinary assistant—I’m a true advocate for the animals I serve. As a pet sitter, I manage my open schedule by staying flexible and organized to provide the best care for each pet. I prioritize scheduled visits for feeding, walking, and playtime, while being ready to adjust if an emergency arises, such as administering medication or addressing an urgent need. I maintain clear communication with pet owners, ensuring their pets' routines are followed and offering updates when needed. My ability to adapt allows me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve, whether it's a planned visit or an unexpected situation. In my household, I ensure my pets receive proper care by providing fresh food and water daily, regular exercise, and grooming as needed. I schedule vet visits for check-ups and keep up with medications. I create a safe, comfortable space for them and pet-proof the house to ensure their safety. I spend quality time with my pets, offering mental stimulation through play and bonding, while also ensuring they are socialized and emotionally supported. I stay alert to any health changes and am prepared for emergency care if needed.

“Another 5 Star service and review! Our two dogs had a 4th of July weekend to remember while we were able to relax and get away from it all. Thank you for your over the top service and care of Mo and Alo!”


16. Jasmine C.

“Jasmine was great with my dog Marshmallow! She came back very happy and I could tell she was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend and will be using Jasmine again in the future :)”


17. Paige J.
About: I raised a beagle and lab at my home in Southern California, and have helped pet-sit my family/friends' pets my entire life. I am a huge dog lover, and miss my dogs every day. In addition, I have volunteered at the Kauai Humane Society where I take dogs on day-long field trips. I am able to take care of puppies, dogs healing from medical procedures (my lab tore her ACL recently), and senior dogs. I am currently enrolled at UC Davis, but am only taking 12 units. I am available Monday-Friday before 10am (for overnight sitting) and after 2:00pm, and completely available on weekends. I have a fully enclosed home with 2 other housemates who love dogs and have multiple dogs at home. Additionally, I have a fully enclosed backyard, and am on a residential street. I have a car, so am able to drop off and pick up as well.


18. Robert W.

“We’re so thankful and happy we found Robert! It was our first time leaving our new fur baby and we were initially worried. Robert sent updates twice a day with pictures and videos. We could see that our boy was having a great time and being well taken care of. Our worry (and guilt) went away after the first update. Brodie had such a good time with Robert we were afraid after 6 days that he might not want to come home. :-) We will definitely have Brodie stay with Robert for all of our vacations and know that he’ll be having a fun vacation as well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our guy!”


19. Vita Q.

“Vita was amazing with our dog. During the meet and greet we felt comfortable about they way she interacted with our old man (our dog is 14 years old). He was comfortable with her and enjoyed Vita's energy. Vita provided daily updates and picks which made our vacation more enjoyable. I will say it again, Vita is amazing!”


20. Sofia D.

“Sofia was awesome and flexible in accepting my last minute booking request! She was communicative with photos and I could tell Sammi was immediately very comfortable with her, which made me feel at ease leaving her in Sofia's care. There is also a green, spacious park nearby in her neighborhood & Sammi seemed to have a ton of fun going on walks + rolling in the grass from the photos I received. I will absolutely be reaching out to Sofia if I need to board Sammi again and I would definitely recommend her services!”
