“Zachary was more awesome than I could have imagined! My cat (Boa) warmed up to Zach so quickly during the first meeting. So, I wasn't worried about her. The photos that Zack texted me during each visit showed how much Boa really took comfort with him. When I returned from my trip, Boa came running out of her room and as soon as she saw me, I swear, I saw hesitation and disappointment in her eyes. Zach will be my requested pet sitter every time I need one.”
“Patti! What an angel sent from above she was. Ms Patti exceeded all of my expectations and was so patient with my baby Luna who is very shy. She is the best of the best and I’d highly recommend.”
“Ava is wonderful! We did a meet and greet and everything went well so I hired her to do a visit with the pups today and they loved her. She communicated well and sent many pictures. I look forward to having her care for my babies again soon”
“Christina was amazing with our dog over a long weekend. She went above and beyond with an initial meet and greet, endless cuddles, and extra walks. She even stayed longer when there was a storm as our pup gets nervous with thunder. I will definitely use Christina again and would highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I found Abby. She checked in on our dog with the best pictures and updates. I know our dog loved the care and attention during check ins. I will definitely be booking Abby again and recommending her to everyone.”
“Hannah was great! She was quick to respond, and came to meet our pups beforehand. She was extremely communicative and made us feel very at ease. Such a great first time experience!”
“Brianna was is si sweet. Our pets love her. She took them potty and gave them treats she showed up exactly at our agreed time and even double checked that all doors were locked before she left. She did so well with our big dogs, one of whom is not the greatest listener. We look forward to working with Brianna and her dependability and care for our pets.”
“Ciara has been absolutely fantastic with taking care of our two dogs and making us feel at ease when we are not home. She is very punctual and excellent at keeping us updated with how the day is going. We can not recommend her enough to anybody that is looking for excellent care while they are at work or traveling.”
“Christina is so wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family. Christina is patient and knowledgeable. My dog was extremely nervous and anxious but Christina was able to comfort her. She took the best care of and I’m so grateful!!! I highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Nina was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures to keep us in the loop and assure us our fur babies were doing well. She was thorough and detailed in texts and notes. She braved the many growls and evil eyes from our cats and was very patient and kind with all 4 of our pets. Isabelle and Bosco look forward to having Nina back again! Fiona and Grace will grow to love her too when they realize how much they need her for their food ;) Thanks Nina!”
“Matthew did an awesome job as always. He even managed to get some love from RT, who normally has nothing to do with anyone and hides at the first sound or sight of a stranger. Matthew's caring and attention to detail are impeccable...he truly is a blessing and allows us peace of mind while away.”
About: I'm Patricia - a lifelong animal lover with real, hands-on experience caring for everything from dogs and cats, reptiles, small mammals, birds, goats and even horses! I grew up on a small farm and have personally owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, a leopard gecko. Currently have and care for two bob tailed cats. I work a full-time career and am only available evenings, some overnights and weekends. Each job is carefully reviewed so that I make sure that your pet is able to receive my full attention before I accept it. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I bring both responsibility and compassion to every visit. Whether you need someone to check in on your pets, provide overnight care, or help with farm animals while you're away, I'm here to help. I'm able to follow instructions to the letter and able to respond with a calm manner if an emergency arises.
“Christine & Reagan are amazing with my babies. I hate having to go out of town but knowing they will be there to take care of them puts me at ease. They are always on time and go the extra mile to keep my girls happy. Would recommend 100% - Pixie & Luna approved”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years. I’m also a volunteer at Orange County animal shelter and have passed their courses for both dog handling and cat handling. My baby Sequoia is a rescue from their shelter also. I’m between jobs at the moment (I’m a game developer and mixed reality engineer) so I have lots of free time to care for your lovely pets. I can visit your pets at your home or take them for walking any time of the day any day of the week ( even weekends).
“Kristina took care of my cats while I was out of the country. She was in contact every day sending pics and updates. I was able to enjoy my vacation while knowing my cats were safe and taken care of. I recommend her services 💯”
About: I've had a range of Great Danes, Boxers, Pitties, and other dogs since I was 10. I have cared for senior, terminally ill, and puppies over the years. I work early mornings Monday through Saturday until about 10 am, so anything about lunch time until 10 pm is all available time for play, food, or cuddles. Depending on the length, I will start a routine of bathroom, food, and play based on the dog's personality. If time permits or requested, a walk will help with overly excited dogs. I will have poop bags and other accessories to help for entertainment or servicing.
About: Stress-Free Environment Calm, safe, and home-like setting that keeps dogs happy, not anxious. I’m also reliable and communicative—pet parents can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they're away. With experience handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention, emotional comfort, and plenty of love. I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.

Cathy F.
“I can’t say enough good things about Cathy and the care she gave to my dogs, Winnie and Finn. From the moment she met them, it was clear she truly loves animals and understands how to make them feel safe and loved. Winnie can be a little shy and Finn is full of energy, but Cathy handled both of their personalities with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She kept me updated with pictures and little notes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly had bonded with her. It felt like they were on a little vacation of their own! If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, Cathy is it. She goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her.”
