Ms. Ana was so sweet, gentle and loving with my babies. Ana was on time for every drop in, she played with them, gave them snuggles and reassurance that mama would be home. I 10000% will use Ms. Ana again. We hit the jackpot ♥️

About: Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a 26 year old teacher! As a teacher, I carry a lot of patience which feeds into my pet caring skills. Growing up, there was always a pet, both cats and dogs, around that got attention and love from me. I am a quick learner who would love to learn about your beloved pet and follow your wants and needs! I am currently a teacher who is on summer break! I take care of my pets everyday when I come home and would love to spend my available time with other pets as well! When entering other’s homes, I will always come in calmly and quietly. I will treat your home with the outmost respect as if it was my home. I pick up after myself and leave everything where it belongs.

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.

About: I have a deep love for animals and specialize in premium Estate & Multi-Pet Care. While I provide patient, heartfelt care for dogs of all ages, my expertise goes much further. I am highly experienced in managing households with diverse pets: including cats, farm animals (chickens), and exotics (turtles, lizards). I understand the logistics of running a large property and ensuring every single animal gets individualized attention. What sets me apart is my calm presence, emotional sensitivity, and total reliability. My goal is to give you absolute peace of mind: your home will be perfectly secure, and all your pets will feel safe, understood, and loved like family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As an independent professional, I divide my time between home and pet sitting, managing projects for my house-painting business, and doing some local deliveries during the day. Because I control my own schedule, I stay flexible, return home for lunch, and remain nearby throughout the day. In the evenings, I am always in for the night, so your pets will have plenty of company, care, and attention when they need it most. My goal is to keep their routine consistent, make them feel safe and loved, and give you peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are being cared for with respect and responsibility. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding. In your home, I keep your pets’ routine familiar and consistent while respecting your space, following instructions closely, keeping things clean and secure, and sending photo updates. I can also help with basic home care, such as mail/packages and plant care. For boarding in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and only host one family’s pets at a time. In both cases, my priority is your pets’ comfort, safety, and routine.

About: Proud owner of an Australian cattle dog named Roxy. Father of two. I'm professional communicative and honest. I show up when I say I'm going to and provide the best experience possible for your dog. I am available anytime 7 days a week. Day or night for house visits, and dog walks. I know how stressful it could be worrying about your pet when you are away. I always make sure your dog is happy and tired and ready for a nap after my walks. Some dogs need a little more exercise than others, and I will make sure that they are satisfied.

About: I have had many dogs and cats throughout my life, and have taken care of not only my own pets, but other's pets as well. I've developed a deep patience for animals and enjoy meeting new pets, and building a connection with them. I am currently working part time, with a schedule that unpredictably flexes throughout the week, and therefore weekends are my preference for pet sitting. However, I believe that Friday will often be a day I can work in the evenings. I am very active, so I often play tug-a-war, and other physical games with my medium-sized dog to relieve her energy. With my cats, I give them plenty of attention when they ask for it, but if they aren't seeking me out, I leave them alone. With my extensive experience with animals, reading their body language has become second nature. Therefore, interacting with new animals, is always a fun experience.

Amazing as always. Breanna has such a kind heart and takes very good care of my Bella. Food, water, litter, pets all handled perfectly. Bella is always in a good mood when I come home and that is a sign that she is well taken care of.

I had an amazing experience with B this past weekend while I was at Coachella. She was incredibly attentive, clearly cared about the little details, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent lots of great photos of my cats, which I loved, and kept consistent communication the entire time. It’s such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again, highly recommend!

Carolina was excellent, thoughtful and trustworthy taking care of my pets while I was away from home. She took the request on short notice and was still able to get fully familiar with my pets routine so that she could handle everything they need. My pets both drew to her immediately and she gave very positive and detailed updates as I was away. I highly recommend her for drop-ins and extended requests, and will definitely book her again.
