“Trevor took great care of Romeo and our home for us, and we would highly recommend him in the future. He gave us daily pictures and updates to keep us informed. Romeo got lots of exercise, and seems to miss Trevor now that he’s not here! We would love to use Trevor again, knowing Romeo would be in great hands.”


“Marilyn was great! While we were away, she stayed at our home with our sweet senior pooch, regularly was in contact with us, sent us photos, and asked questions if she had any. She left our home in perfect condition and we were very happy with her services! We’ll absolutely call her again if we go out of town without him!”

“Melanie and Anthony are absolute gems as pet sitters and house guests. They are so kind and caring- both towards animals and towards us humans - taking great care of all of us during their stay. They sent lovely photos of our pets being adored and living their best lives in our absence and they took great care to be respectful about my needs as a person with Celiac disease, even leaving extra GF staples for me and cleaning the house! They are truly great humans and we feel so lucky to have found them. Booking them again ASAP!!”


“Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!”

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)
About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. I currently own a Ridgeback and he's my best friend. I adopted him from a shelter when I was 22, and him and I live a great life together! I've had fearful dogs in past, and know how to handle any type of dog behavior. I currently work remote, so I am available anytime during the day (M-F). My schedule is very flexible and will work to you and pups needs. I learned how to crate train my dog by myself, and raised him through extensive training. I am very knowledgeable with any needs your dog may have. I know how to use any type of collar as well, along with e collars.

“Kaleigh is reliable, responsible and great with animals. She provides frequent pictures. My dog and cat love her and are always happy to see her. I highly recommend her for your pet setting needs.”

About: My name is Hannah. I worked at West hills animal hospital. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 5+ years. i understand the importance of trusting someone to care for you "kids". i grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets! But i couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old, so i have flexible hours, i will be delighted to watch your fur babies! I would like to keep your fur babies as close to their schedule as possible, I would love taking them for walks! I want them to feel as close to home as i possibly could!

About: I really love animals and spending time with them. I currently work as a dog walker, so I’m used to being around dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have my own cat, Leyla, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I treat every pet like my own, and their safety and happiness are always my priority. My work shifts end by 3:30 PM, so I am fully available for afternoon and evening care at your home. While my off days vary each week, I am very flexible and can provide dedicated time for walks or house sitting during those days. I am committed to following your pet's specific routine and ensuring they get the attention they need once I am off work. I am a very responsible and alert sitter who prioritizes the safety of your pet and the security of your home. I am extremely careful about locking doors and ensuring your pet is safe and supervised at all times during my visits. I stay in constant communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“I highly recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs. She was an amazing sitter and took wonderful care of our three dogs, guinea pig, and fish. Our dogs have become very attached to having someone home since my husband started working from home, so it was a huge relief to know they were happy and calm in Donna's care. Her calm demeanor and warm personality made our dogs very comfortable, and we appreciated the daily photos and messages she sent to keep us updated. We also returned to an immaculate house. Donna’s care truly made our vacation much better. Please do not hesitate to book her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Brianna was amazing! All animals seemed happy and well taken care of! Will definitely be using her in the future and would recommend to family friends and anyone looking for a pet sitter !”

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”

About: I have taken care of my dogs and my friends and families pets for over 10 years! I love our furry friends and am great at walking and feeding them however much they may need! I am currently working but I have a pretty open schedule for this summer. Please let me know which days you would like to work together and I will be sure to accommodate as best I can. Since my service will be at your home, I intend to take the pets out as needed and making sure that I stay with them whenever they go out. When on walks I make sure to be aware of my surroundings so that both your pets and I stay safe.
About: Extensive experience as a medical professional in the veterinary world, medicating, treating, and working with all sorts of creatures! Looking forward to serving my community in a greater capacity. Extremely flexible schedule with room to grow. Weekends are filled with walks, boarding, and drop ins, weekdays are mostly filled with drop ins. Available daily and can’t wait to send you photos of your pets and I having a blast. Our dogs, cats, and birds all enjoy the spoils of being our only kids. My husband and I would do anything for our fur children and continue to get creative and landscape, furnish, and construct the best ways to keep our babies happy and healthy.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family for 10 years and helped my grandmother care for her three litters of puppies. I’m patient, caring, and love being around dogs. Since I enjoy staying active, I’m also a great fit for pets that need plenty of walks and exercise. I currently work part time and in grad school, so I have flexibility to accommodate most schedules to give your dog the care and attention it needs. I can walk your dog, check in on them, or stay overnight in your home, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Kelly was a pleasure! We met in advance for her to meet the fur babies, which I really appreciated. She helped watch 3 of our animals, one being a senior English bulldog that needs extra care and it was comforting to know while my husband and I were away, they were in good hands. They loved her! Which is also comforting! Thanks Kelly!! :)”

Very simply- Nick and Justin were awesome! Not only did they respond very clear to our initial last minute request, but they were so nice to our three dogs. Communicated every single walk that they were taken on and anytime that they were fed or let outside. If there were any concerns that they had, they made sure to connect with us before doing anything I felt like I was watching my dogs and I’m very appreciative. We will be sure to be using Nick and Justin exclusively for all of our trips in the future. And I would recommend them to you for your visit in the future as well. Thank you both.
