1. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is a warm and wise-in-the-way-of-dogs person, who instantly bonded with our Leo. She also took the trouble to come over a day in advance of her "sitting" to meet him, and us, making it easy to do the handoff when she came to do the job. Would highly recommend to anyone.”
2. Emilie
“Emilie is amazing!! We have a very timid and shy cat who hides under our bed whenever a new visitor comes over. He was already warmed up to her on the second day and giving her cuddles and purring like crazy. She goes above and beyond when it comes to following requests and is incredibly sweet. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a big hearted, highly professional pet sitter. 10/10!! 🩷”

“Chelsea did a great job taking care of our senior dog.”
4. Thomas L.
“We are so lucky that Thomas is our most trusted caregiver for our dog child, Sandy, and home sitter for our spot in Sebastopol, CA. After considering our long list of good friends, colleagues, cohorts and family, we always only ever call Thomas and honestly if he's not a available, we postpone our trip until his schedule opens up. He's really the only one we trust to exercise Sandy and provide the loving attention we would if we were home. He's also very attentive to plants, all types, and our chickens ~ which we were so grateful he knew how to manage. Thank You Thomas for being so exceptionally attentive and caring!”
5. Rachel P.
“"Rachel has been an integral part of my team during her time here in Oceanside. Her transition to Petco was seamless, showcasing her remarkable work ethic and friendly demeanor. She consistently went above and beyond, even assisting me with my pets during our visits to Petco. Rachel's exceptional skills make her an ideal candidate for a dog-walking role, given her wonderful rapport with animals and dedication to providing top-notch service."”

“I’m happy with the care of my cats! Rose had excellent communication and assured me that my cats were well taken care of.”
7. Anne D.
“Anne was just so lovely, which really put me at ease leaving our 5 month kitten alone for the first time! She came out for a meet and greet, and our kitten was immediately comfortable with Anne. Anne visited on schedule, gave her food and played with her and left a clean litter box. I would highly recommend Anne, and look forward to working with her again! THANK YOU, Anne!!”
8. Litzy V.
“Litzy loves all types of animals. She has always taken good care of her dogs, cats, birds and hamster. Litzy will do her best to keep animals happy, clean and exercised.”

About: I am an intuitive and caring animal lover with a special knack for connection. Raised with dogs, cats, horses and cows I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I have a super flexible schedule as I work from home and run my own business. I have reliable transportation, a great work ethic and I am self- sufficient. I will offer care for your animals in the way you need it and will show up on time, ready to play! Your animals are in capable hands.
10. Aline G.
About: With over 20 years of experience, I have a deep understanding of caring for a variety of pets, both my own and others’. Growing up with cats sparked my lifelong love for animals, and over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, chickens, goats, and cats. Our family dog, now 17 years old, holds a special place in our hearts. I know how crucial it is to have a reliable and trustworthy person looking after your pets when you’re unable to, and I bring that level of care and commitment to every pet I watch over. I currently work part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. However, since I have children at home, I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice to ensure childcare arrangements can be made unless your pet would enjoy a little visitor tagging along. My goal is to provide focused and attentive care for your pet, so planning ahead helps me give them the best experience possible. Our senior dog prefers a quiet home without furry visitors, so at this time, I am only offering pet care services at your home. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and will closely follow your instructions to ensure your pet is cared for exactly as you prefer. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special routines, I’ll make sure everything is done just right while providing your pet with plenty of love and attention to keep them happy and comfortable.
11. Jessie P.
“Jessie was great with our puppy Freddie. We had to be out of town unexpectedly and Jessie did an amazing job dropping in to check on Freddie , she had to clean his crate and even went above and beyond by making sure Freddie was clean after a potty accident .She adjusted her schedule so she could squeeze in more time for him. She was honest and reliable . Thank you Jessie !”
12. Mario J.
“I have used Mario on several occasions both while we were traveling and as a dog walker. He is totally trustworthy and has stayed in our house for weeks at a time while we were travelling. We returned to a neat house and a happy dog. When he dog walks for us he turns up on time and is in tune with the dog’ exercise needs. Mario is a runner so is also perfect for high energy dogs as he can give them a more intense workout if required. I would highly recommend him to take care of any pets.”
13. Christopher S.
“Incredibly nice guy with a love for all furry creatures. He has a full time job but has wanted to focus on care of animals. His new house is like a tiny vacation for any pet.”
14. Tanny P.
“Tanny was easy to communicate with, diligent and caring with my animal. Very grateful and would recommend!”
15. Abby G.
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life, and have worked with a wide range of temperaments and breeds. I volunteered at a rescue where I gained experience working with dogs with traumatic histories and behavioral issues. I'm also experienced working with large and high-energy dog breeds. I am a graduate student at Samuel Merritt looking for opportunities to make some money while spending some quality time with pets! I am available weekends as well as weekdays in the mornings and evenings. I cater my services to meet your dog's unique needs. Care including walks or runs, playtime, snuggles, and photos sent to you while you're away.

18. Jessica S.
“Jessica was great! On time, reliable and great communication. Already booked her for our next trip.”
19. Olivia G.
“Olivia was amazing in taking care of our two Abyssinian rescue cats while we were traveling East for a week. She was responsive to our every request and concern and exceeded expectations in every way. Our cats are sweet and engaging, but also high need. She cleary cared for them and provided an emotional life line to them as we left them for the first time. Her Rover cards allowed us to rest easy that our babies were in great hands. She was super generous in her time and basically perfect in every way. We would love to book with her in the future!”
20. Anne-Christina M.
“Christina is a great sitter, highly recommended! She took great care of my cat who has extra medication needs and is particularly difficult about taking it. I was very stressed leaving my cat for a few days when she was sick, but the care my cat received from Christina while I was away helped a lot to alleviate that. She has excellent communication, got along well with a very shy cat, and was willing to work her schedule around to make sure she could visit my cat twice a day for meds. She even followed up after to check in on her.”
