“Erin is absolutely wonderful. I get anxious leaving cat too long but she did so well with Erin! I have a senior cat who requires daily medication and Erin was a pro at taking care of her needs. She helped keep everything clean and her updates were thorough! Even though I was far away I felt comfortable having Erin in my home taking care of my cat. I will absolutely book her again and recommend her to everyone!”


“Super friendly! Punctual. Minky loved Lisa being around so much that he complained why she isn’t visiting anymore after we returned from vacation. Thank you lisa for taking such a good care of our kitty!! Highly recommend.”


“Irina was amazing!!! One of our cats is shy and usually hides when anybody comes through the front door. Irina was patient in gaining her trust and during the introduction, she came to greet Irina. I was shocked but relieved. I was assured that Irina will do a great job in taking care of our cats. She did and both of cats liked her and her company. She updated us daily with pictures and videos which we were grateful for. She helped to clean up when our cat vomited. We were so happy to come home to very happy and pampered cats and that’s really important for us.”


“Second time that Alvina looked after my 2 cats and she’s always doing an amazing job. The cats take to her very easily and she’s great at taking care of them!”


“This is my second time having Corey look after my 2 cats and i can’t recommend her enough ! She is incredibly thoughtful and will often bring her own toys to ensure the kittens get their play time and attention. She goes above and beyond in sending me detailed photos of their time together and always makes sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. Will be booking her again for my next weekend away !”

“Zi took great care of my cat while I was away! She was super friendly with communication and flexible with my plans. She sent descriptive rover cards and lots of pictures. She goes above and beyond for multi-day care, making sure that my home is in good shape too. She will be my go-to for all future bookings. Thanks Zi!”

“Thank you for taking great care of our pup… Particularly in short notice!”


“Always love having Abby watch over my babies! Appreciate her and her care, attention to detail, and what a great job she always does. Thank you Abby!”


“Katelin did the most amazing job taking care of my cats. She was available last minute, which I greatly appreciated, and she was a great communicator. She also sent fun photos and videos! I’d book her again in a heart beat.”

About: Friendly, reliable pet sitter with 2 years of experience caring for small dogs and cats. Passionate about animals and detail-oriented, I ensure loving, safe care for your furry family members. Work 8 to 5 at home, can take pet on walk during lunch and after work. Would always be in the same room as he/she. I adapt to each pet’s unique personality—whether they’re playful and social or prefer space and quiet, I provide the care and environment that makes them feel comfortable and secure.

About: I’ve had pets for my entire life. My family believes in saving the strays from the streets, so it was my parents who taught me to show kindness to every animal I meet and take great care of those we adopted. In my case, it was several dogs and cats of various kinds, including older dogs and a tiny one week old kitten whom I nursed to health and adulthood. I’m currently studying and freelancing from home and actively searching for a part-time job. My days are usually free since I’m in control of my study and work routine, so I’d love to take care of your little friends at any time on any day of the week! I always prioritize the pets’ safety, comfort, and routine. I love directions and specifications, so I make sure to follow provided instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or adhering to a particular schedule for walks and playtime. I make sure to maintain a calm environment for the pet, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I also ensure the home remains clean and tidy, following all the owner’s guidelines to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible! I believe consistency is the key.

“Jessica was fantastic. She communicated well, arrived on time, and took good care of Piper! I will definitely book her again.”

Your pet will feel right at home with me! Due to my flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s potty breaks, playtime, or even snuggles while I work. I also take care of my roommate’s dog a few times a week while she’s at the office, so I’m used to structuring my day around walks, feedings, and lots of cuddle breaks. At my home, I make sure the space is pet-safe, with no access to anything harmful, and I supervise closely (especially for new pets). I keep a clean environment, and I’m quick to clean up any accidents or spills. And of course, I send lots of updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

About: I have 9 years of experience with taking care of dogs, including basic care like walking, playing, and grooming, to preparing food for special diets, and specialized care across all life stages (from puppyhood to senior)!

I work remotely from my home in Irvine, which offers me the flexibility to schedule around what you and your pets may need. I am available throughout the weekdays and/or weekends. I am a very careful individual, so I will read through all instructions you provide for me regarding care of your animal in your home.

“11/10 pet care! I was away for a long time, but I received great, thorough, daily updates. I returned to a very happy, healthy dog and an immaculately clean apartment (which is a huge deal with my messy dog)! The level of responsibility and detail-oriented work done has me blown away. Highly recommend!”

“Kristiann has stayed at our home many times to care for our cat Gabby. Gabby is a very needy cat that needs lots of attention. She loves to cuddle with you. Kristiann took excellent care of Gabby's needs while we were away. When we came home, I think Gabby missed Kristiann more than us! When Kristiann lived in our area, she stayed at our home for our short weekend trips, to stays of 2 to 3 weeks. I've known Kristiann since she was 5 years old. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She's wonderful.”
