“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”

About: NOTICE: I will be servicing the Inland Empire, California from December 13th, 2025 to January 10th, 2026! I have over 5 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and exotic animal keeper and I am now in school to become a veterinarian! I have experience in animal husbandry, training, enrichment, and medical treatment for domestic dogs and cats and captive wildlife, such as big cats, primates, birds of prey, small/large reptiles, and more! My whole life revolves around animal care and I am happy to accommodate any pet’s needs. I also pet sit for exotic animals and other household pets like snakes, birds, lizards, rabbits, and more! Message for more info! I am a veterinary medical student at Long Island University who lives and breathes animal care! My flexible class schedule allows me to accommodate many requests and I am always on top of my schedule! Care services for each pet will vary depending on the individual needs, but all drop-in visits will include the basic necessities such as feeding, cleaning, and potty breaks! If your pet requires any special care, I offer free consultations and would be happy to construct a specialized care plan for your pets!
“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful! She loved on our three dogs and kept us updated while we were away! I was put at ease by the updates and pictures sent! Such a sweet kind soul - we look forward to using her again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: Growing up in a house full of dogs taught me that pets aren’t just animals—they are family. From energetic golden retrievers to senior rescues, I’ve spent my life learning the nuances of canine behavior and care. This lifelong passion naturally transitioned into years of trusted pet sitting for friends and family, where I’ve managed everything from high-energy playdates to strict medication schedules. I work full time, but work remotely, so you can lean on me for weekend, early morning, lunchtime and late afternoon/evening walks or check ins! Any and all preferences for your fur (or fur-less) babies are my command! Drawing from years of pet sitting for friends and family, I am hyper-vigilant about home security and cleanliness. I ensure all doors are double-checked, alarms are set, and your space remains exactly as you left it (plus a spotless litter box or wiped-down paws)
“Madison was communicative, made sure to check in with me at least 3 times a day, and always sent pictures with the pupdates. When we arrived home the apartment was clean and left in great shape. We will definitely be using her again for all of our sitting needs.”

“Chaira was excellent. Took such good care of my two babies Trixie and Max. She sent allot of pictures and text with any questions she had. Made my trip so much better knowing they were well cared for. Definitely recommend!!”


About: I am a (pet) mom to our large cat, Baxter and larger lab mix, Jack! Jack is full of energy and love which allows me to tackle any mood your pup may be in! Baxter loves being the center of attention and he certainly gets all the love and play time that allows. I am more than happy to get to know your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am currently a contract working allowing me to have flexibility in my schedule. I usually have availability before 9am, a couple hours for lunch and after 7pm! I have experience with dog crates, harnesses, different collars and gates if those are options for your pup. I have dealt with soft and hard food as well as different supplements.

“We are so happy we chose Cinthya to stay with Scarlett! She did a great job with the multiple needs and numerous medications for our senior dachshund. We hope Cinthya can stay with Scarlett again sometime soon!! Five plus stars!!”

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I provide dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting with a focus on reliability, communication, and genuine care. Certified in pet cpr, I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I always offer a meet-and-greet so your dog can get to know me first. During visits, I keep everything consistent — walks, feeding, play, and any medication your pet needs. I also send clear updates with photos and videos so you stay informed and never feel stressed about how your pet is doing. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup. Being a travel agent gives me a flexible schedule, allowing me to care for pets throughout the day while working remotely from anywhere — home or on the go. I make sure my pets get plenty of love and attention every day. Between walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping them active, they’re always happy, healthy, and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family since I was much younger. I’ve helped take care of small dogs and bigger dogs as well. I work full time but have flexibility to help with your pet before work, during lunch, and after work. My availability on the weekends is much greater. I treat every animal with respect and kindness as if they are my own. Every animal is special and deserves to feel valued! I stand by that

I am just looking to fill my free time doing something I love and passionate about! I’m currently working part-time at an animal shelter and I just received my dog grooming license. I am flexible with my schedule and only work 3 days a week. I would follow all of the instructions the owner has left. Provide your dog with enrichment, treats and walks. If your puppy is scared or anxious I will sit with them, spending the time trying to gain their trust so it’s a positive experience for both parties involved!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood—pugs, Great Danes, and everything in between. I grew up in a dog-loving home and have spent years walking, feeding, and looking after neighbors’ and friends’ pups. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every dog with the same attention and affection I give my own. I’m a full-time author with a flexible schedule, so I’ve got plenty of room in my day for walks, check-ins, and playtime. I’m available for house sitting on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. Dog walks are the perfect break while I plot out the next adventure. When I’m caring for a dog in their own home, I follow your routines exactly—mealtimes, walks, meds, training rules, all of it. I’m experienced with different temperaments and sizes, comfortable with crates if needed, and good at keeping dogs calm, engaged, and safe in their familiar space.
About: Hi, I’m Taylor! 🐶🐾 Animals have always held a special place in my heart — I’m a lifelong pet lover and experienced caregiver with a deep understanding of how important our furry family members truly are. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether I’m going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just relaxing with a pup who loves a good belly rub, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. I believe pets thrive with love, consistency, and a calm, patient approach — and that’s exactly what I bring to every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether you’re heading out for a day or a longer trip, you can count on me to provide attentive, loving care and regular updates so you feel at ease. I’d love to get to know you and your pet — let’s set up a meet and greet! I am currently not working and home raising my 2.5 year old son and my 1.5 year old pup! My son is in activities throughout the week but they don’t take up too much time. I would only be gone for about 2 hours a day MAX! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard with a large leveled patio and grass for your furbaby to enjoy sunbathing, playing in the snow, running and playing. I currently have a 1.5 year old female puppy named Roxy! She is an ANGEL!! She gets along with every dog. She is about 35 pounds, fully grown. I also have a 2.5 year old son who calls Roxy his “sissy”. He, like his mother is a huge animal (of all kinds) lover. I do have a small crate and an extra large crate from my previous dogs. The small crate can hold up to about a 20 pound dog where the large crate can hold up to about a 100 pound dog. I am willing to discuss whatever it is that your fur baby needs because I know they are all different and require different things!

Charlotte was the best ! I am so happy I found her . She not just was great in communication but she was great in keeping my baby entertained and we taken care of . She made me feel calm knowing he was in good hands by sending me pictures of him and letting me know how he’s doing . She’s caring and from the start she was interested in knowing my routine with him and paid close attention to details and did everything what I asked her to do . She was great and definitely will be using her for the future . Thank You Charlotte.

Madison was great and our dog was well taken care of during our vacation. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our girl was in good hands. Madison picked up our dog when she was supposed to, our house was perfectly clean when we came home. She sent us updates and pictures daily. We would absolutely love to use Madison's services again.
I can’t recommend Katelin enough! She came to my house to take care of my dog with just one hour’s notice and handled everything perfectly. She’s incredibly respectful, dependable, and clearly great with animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!
