Leyla was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and flexible to our needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was getting attention, care, and affection while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and would trust them again in a heartbeat!

Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.

About: I am a Dog lover!!! I have experience with my dogs, and I take care of my friends and family dogs when they go out or travel. I would treat your baby like it was mine. Also I would send you an upgrade and pictures so you can see how much fun your dog is having. I think dogs are the best gift a human can have, and that is why they deserve the best care, attention, and Love!! I can provide that to your dog. Sometimes can be overwhelming for them to spend so much hours alone, without attention or without playing, so I would love to be part of that happiness, to take them for a run or walk, go visit them, pet him and play with him. Dogs are our best friends in life, so they deserve to have always the best!

Jazmin is amazing. She had excellent communication before and after visits with my kitty. She took photos and wrote the most detailed and sweet notes after each stay. I knew my kitty was safe in her care which gives me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks so much!

Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!

Tara is amazing! Taking care of our sweet bubs while we went out of town for the weekend. Tara kept us updated with playtimes, and potty times as well as sending the cutest photos. On top of all that our sweet boy took an instant liking to Tara and we couldn’t be happier. A great communicator and very professional- we are definitely going to have Tara as our #1 to watch our pup from now on!

Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️

About: Hi there! My name is Daniel, and I’m a lifelong animal lover. Whether it’s energetic pups, curious cats, or even smaller furry friends, I’m here to provide attentive, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I understand that pets are family, and I prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own. With senior pets, pups that have excited accidents, or administering medications, I’m confident in handling a variety of situations with care and professionalism. Your peace of mind is important to me, so I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and anything else you need to feel connected while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend and create a positive, stress-free experience for both of you! Caring for pets isn’t just something I do, it’s part of my everyday rhythm. Whether it’s starting my mornings with a walk, taking breaks during the day for play and snuggles, or winding down with an evening stroll, animals seamlessly fit into my daily routine. I make space each week for exercise, enrichment, and quality time, so your pet always gets the attention, consistency, and love they deserve. With me, your furry friend’s care isn’t an afterthought, it’s a natural part of my lifestyle! Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the respect it deserves. From following your care instructions to keeping routines consistent, I make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. You can trust that both your pet and your home are in reliable, caring hands.

About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and understand the patience, awareness, and calm approach they often need. I pay close attention to body language, safety, and each dog’s individual comfort level to help them feel secure and cared for. I currently have a cocker spaniel and love to walk and play with him. I know how important consistency, exercise, affection, and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I will provide reliable, loving care and treat them as if they were my own. I am a teacher and have summers off. I have full availability to care (walks and check-ins) for your pet during the week or weekend. I would love to get on a schedule if you need one for consistent work. I am looking for jobs that will get my active and outside. Whether that is playing with your pet inside your home or taking them for long walks around your neighborhood/in a destination of your choosing.

About: As an animal lover, I’ve grown up with all sorts of critters for my entire life (dogs, cats, birds, and even a pot belly pig – oh my!). One day I’d like to have an animal sanctuary. My favorite thing is getting to know a pet and making them feel safe and comfortable while I’m taking care of them. Pet care is a daily part of my life already since I have a couple of senior fur babies at home! I have a flexible work schedule so I can always make sure that I’m a part of your pet’s day when I’m taking care of them. Trust is a big part of hiring a pet sitter. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow any instructions a pet parent gives me with walking, feeding, and behavior. I’ll make sure that every pet gets extra love while you’re away.

Rosa was fantastic with my dog and cat!! My dog isn’t the best with new people, but I appreciated her coming to do a meet and greet first. She was patient with him and built trust and he was super excited when she came to walk him! She did great and I appreciate her communication. She’s also super sweet in general and I will definitely book her again :)

Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!

We have had Michelle check on our little kitty several times now and she does a wonderful job. He’s not the most friendly cat but he seems to like her pretty well (which is much better than how he feels about most people 😂). She takes great care of him, sends good pics, and provides detailed updates!

Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal with our cat, Seaweed, while we were away. 💛 She was thoughtful, proactive, warm, and incredibly reassuring from start to finish. For each visit, she sent detailed updates, adorable photos/videos (😭😍), and little observations about Seaweed’s personality/behavior that made it SO clear she genuinely cared and was paying close attention to her. One of our biggest concerns while traveling is Seaweed’s medication administration (she requires an oral pill twice daily), and Jennifer handled this flawlessly. Not only did she successfully administer her meds as needed, but she also kept us informed on what worked best along the way, making the entire process feel low-stress, thoughtful, and intentional. Having someone we fully trusted while away gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer went above and beyond, and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, attentive, and reliable sitter for their pet(s). We’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks again, Jennifer!!! 🙏❤️
