I cannot say enough fabulous things about Rachael. I found her while being in a pinch out of town on vacation, needing someone last minute to step in for a drop-in visit and she was immediately responsive and available. She is highly accommodating and my Cane Corso girl loves her. She has pulled through for me several times and I am so thankful for her. I cannot recommend her enough!

Vicky took great care of my cat while I was gone for the week. She was a great communicator and made sure to follow all care instructions well. She also was very dedicated in interacting with my cat during the whole visit, including her favorite toys. I have already booked her again for upcoming travel.

Kimberly took care of our 4 kitties while we were out of town for a week. She came twice a day during the timeframe discussed and always communicated with us of any changes or updates. She was very good with the cats and fed them according to instructions. She also injected insulin for one of our senior cats and broke out any fights during her visits. Additionally, we let her know that some of our cats sometimes make a mess and may pee on the couch or random places and she made sure to always check around for us. We love her care for our kitties and her communication & attention to details. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!

About: Hi! I’m Jenna! A lifelong animal lover, dependable caregiver, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the trail. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life – from goofy labs to spunky chihuahuas and even a couple of pigs in-between. I know that pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. Whether I’m going for walks, doling out belly rubs, or just being a calming presence while you’re away, I treat every lil lady or fella in my care like they’re my own. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and always keep your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priority. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, give meds if needed, and send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I work a 9-5 schedule that allows me to prioritize morning walks or cozy evenings in with a furry friend. Weekends Friday after 5 to Sunday evening I'm available for whatever your pet may need. I care for clients’ pets the same way I’d care for my own - with patience, attention, and lots of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on familiar walking routes, or giving extra snuggles while they're missing you. I also make communication a priority - I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident that your pet is not just looked after, but genuinely cared for.

This was another great experience for us. Katie arrived on time, remembering Molly is a shy girl and she allowed Molly to approach and sniff a greeting. We reviewed Molly’s routine and home security and left for our day at Del Mar. it was reassuring to know that Katie would be dropping in during the day and the Rover Report Card pictures arrived promptly. Katie will continue to be our go-to person.

About: Living with my calm and lovable Shiba Inu, I understand every dog’s unique needs. If your pup loves the outdoors, we can explore nature together, or enjoy cozy cuddles at home. As a shelter volunteer and big dog walker, I’m passionate about pet care and always eager to learn more to provide the best for your furry friend! I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. Please reach out at least a week in advance to schedule – I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a fenced yard where your pup can soak up the sunshine, and a calm dog who enjoys quiet time. If needed, your pup can easily be crate-trained for added comfort and safety. Rest assured, they’ll have a great time!

About: I have had pets for as long as I could remember. Although my family started with small animals at first, when I was in high school, we got our first cat, a Scottish Fold named Cali! Now I have two dogs, Taco and Willow, and a snake, Java. I am also currently a vet student and have worked in the veterinary field for about 5 years. I have also been in the animal care industry for about 6 years. With my experience, you can rest assured that someone experienced in animal care, animal behavior, and veterinary medicine is taking wonderful care of your dog! Asides from knowing how to perform medical procedures for animals, I also love to train dogs. I’m very interested in behavioral medicine and enjoy training my own two little ones. Taco is task-trained by myself alone. Do you have a behaviorally complex or reactive dog? No worries! I have experience handling reactive and anxious dogs, even having managed to train one to be able to walk on the same side of the street as other dogs! All of my background and knowledge will help me take the best care of your family members! *Please note that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am only available past 5. On most Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free in the morning until noon. For this reason, I offer the best quality care for lower prices!* I am currently a student working part-time, so my current weekday availability is after 5:30 PM (though my weekend schedule is far more flexible). Going on walks and stopping by to care for animals is a great way for me to destress so you’ll know that I am enjoying my time with you loved ones and thus are taking the best care of them! I understand how to read animal body language very well from all of my years working in the vet industry. I know how to approach both confident and fearful animals, as I have a slightly anxious girl myself. I always use treats, attention, and toys as a way to gain their trust and strongly believe in positive reinforcement training, as well as a fear free approach. I know how to ensure that the room is dog/cat-proofed and what signs to look out for should your pet not be feeling well. Important to note that I am fear free certified!

About: Hi fur parents! I’ve had a deep love and passion for animals for well over 20 years. With experience caring for more than 15 pets of my own—plus time spent volunteering at a local animal shelter—I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from tiny-medium-seniors -to energetic giants. I understand that every pup has their own unique pace and personality, whether they love a light jog, sniffing every blade of grass, or just sitting in the shade people-watching. Let me know &I'll accommodate:) During our walks, I’ll keep a close eye on your dog’s safety and well-being—making sure they stay hydrated, avoid eating foreign objects/bugs, and even keeping tabs on their stool health (I have a boxer myself, so I know the drill!). Please don’t hesitate to share any special quirks, needs, or preferences your pup has—I'm here to make our walks as enjoyable and comfortable as possible for them. 🐾 "Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." -O.P I work hybrid and home 80% of the time. If you just give me a couple days advance notice and I definitely accommodate you. Sometimes I can do same day especiallyif youre nearby, just send me a message!:) For Drop in visits i always do the basics, i first make sure your animal is good spirits, second make sure they have relieved themselves for dogs or if cat have a clean litter and lastly make sure they are fed and have water. End the visit with the some cuddles/pets/butt scratchies!

We went on a holy 4 month trip overseas and thanks to Robert who helped us out! We had Robert drop in every 5 days to make sure the feeder and toilet function well and gave the cats can food and treats. Robert never missed a single appointment and the communication was easy and timely. Both of my cats are shy and typically don't get along with people, but they definitely like Robert and even allow him to pet them!!! (Apparently it was the can food and treats that did all the magic lol) Robert will be our go-to guy next time when we need someone to babysit our cats and I highly recommend him.

She's prompt and goes above and beyond what's requested. Communication with her is easy and she sends plenty of photos!

About: I’ve been a cat mom to two spoiled fur babies for the past two years. I’m super familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving all the cuddles (if they want them!). I treat every cat like my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available all day throughout the week to provide consistent care and attention to your pets. I only offer drop-in visits, and I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Van and I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I used to have a dog myself, so I understand their unique needs whether it’s high energy walks, gentle strolls for seniors, or extra patience with puppies. I provide attentive, loving care and make sure every walk is fun, safe and tailored to your pup’s personality. I fit dog care/walking into my day alongside with rebuilding my baking business in a new city. I genuinely love being around dogs! Right now, it's just a side gig, but I’d love for it to become a bigger part of my routine. Getting outside, spending time with pups, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I really enjoy! It also gives me my puppy fix since I probably won't own one for awhile. I focus on making your pup feel comfortable, safe, and loved. For walks, I tailor to their energy/pace level and make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. During drop-in visits, I ensure they have food, fresh water, potty breaks and lots of affection and playtime. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind.

I understand that every pup has their own unique pace and personality, whether they love a light jog, sniffing every blade of grass, or just sitting in the shade people-watching. Let me know &I'll accommodate:) During our walks, I’ll keep a close eye on your dog’s safety and well-being—making sure they stay hydrated, avoid eating foreign objects/bugs, and even keeping tabs on their stool health (I have a boxer myself, so I know the drill!). Please don’t hesitate to share any special quirks, needs, or preferences your pup has—I'm here to make our walks as enjoyable and comfortable as possible for them. 🐾 "Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." -O.P I work hybrid and home 80% of the time. If you just give me a couple days advance notice and I definitely accommodate you. Sometimes I can do same day especiallyif youre nearby, just send me a message!:) For Drop in visits i always do the basics, i first make sure your animal is good spirits, second make sure they have relieved themselves for dogs or if cat have a clean litter and lastly make sure they are fed and have water. End the visit with the some cuddles/pets/butt scratchies!

We went on a holy 4 month trip overseas and thanks to Robert who helped us out! We had Robert drop in every 5 days to make sure the feeder and toilet function well and gave the cats can food and treats. Robert never missed a single appointment and the communication was easy and timely. Both of my cats are shy and typically don't get along with people, but they definitely like Robert and even allow him to pet them!!! (Apparently it was the can food and treats that did all the magic lol) Robert will be our go-to guy next time when we need someone to babysit our cats and I highly recommend him.

Dorcas dropped in to take care of my cat several times and has been a wonderful sitter. Recently, I had a last minute request over the holiday weekend and she was able to drop by to feed my cat. She's prompt and goes above and beyond what's requested. Communication with her is easy and she sends plenty of photos!

About: I’ve been a cat mom to two spoiled fur babies for the past two years. I’m super familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving all the cuddles (if they want them!). I treat every cat like my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available all day throughout the week to provide consistent care and attention to your pets. I only offer drop-in visits, and I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

We were so fortunate to have Zi as our cat sitter for the past three months, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Zi showed great responsibility and genuine care for our cat. She made sure that all the basics were always covered: fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litter box. What really stood out was the extra effort she put into spending quality time with our cat. Cats can often become lonely or stressed when their owners are away for extended periods, but thanks to Zi’s attention, playfulness, and patience, our cat remained happy, healthy, and in great spirits. It gave us incredible peace of mind knowing that someone so caring and reliable was looking after her. We could see that Zi truly enjoys being with animals, and our cat quickly developed a strong bond with her. Zi is not just a pet sitter who takes care of the essentials; she goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and kind-hearted to care for your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Zi. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we feel very lucky to have found her.

Esther is reliable, professional, and clearly experienced with cats — my normally shy kitty warmed up to them quickly, which says a lot! She followed all my instructions perfectly, sent me quick updates with photos, and made sure my cat was not only fed, but also given attention and affection. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in good hands when I’m away. I highly recommend it to any other cat owners looking for trustworthy and caring help!

Minghua (also goes by Alice) took amazing care of our elderly dog, Heide. We left town abruptly and she was able to do drop in visits with very little notice. Heide is 16 years old and requires daily medicine. Heide has recently refused to eat on a few occasions and wouldn’t eat while we were gone. Alice did everything she could to get Heide to eat her food - including hand feeding her. She went above and beyond with communicating that Heide wasn’t eating properly. We ended up coming home early to be with Heide. We are so thankful for the throughout communication and efforts with caring for Heide. We will definitely rehire Alice!

This is the third time we’ve left Winston with Abbey, and she continues to be amazing. She’s incredibly friendly, always on time, and truly cares for the dogs. She sends pictures after every visit and keeps us updated on how Winston is doing. We trust her completely. She’s responsible and dependable. Highly recommended.

Holly was so excellent with our kids. Timely and so affectionate, when helped us keep our plants alive! She made sure their water was always full and that kittybox didn’t need to be changed. We got a lot of great pictures as well. Can’t wait for our next trip and hopeful that Holly will be available again; our babies loved her! ❤️

Kimberly took care of our 4 kitties while we were out of town for a week. She came twice a day during the timeframe discussed and always communicated with us of any changes or updates. She was very good with the cats and fed them according to instructions. She also injected insulin for one of our senior cats and broke out any fights during her visits. Additionally, we let her know that some of our cats sometimes make a mess and may pee on the couch or random places and she made sure to always check around for us. We love her care for our kitties and her communication & attention to details. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!
