2. Tiffany S.

“Tiffany was great. We have already booked for her another trip. She spent lots of time with our pup and did everything we asked of her. She sent us daily updates and cared for her like she was her own.”


3. John G.

“John was amazing! Immediately got good vibes my dogs were comfortable and approached him right away. I was so anxious about leaving them but I didn’t worry once while I was gone. He sent pics and regular updates. Just all around amazing. I have rebooked him already for another trip and planning a few others now that I found someone I feel safe leaving my boys with.”


4. Lamar A.

“Lamar is a great sitter! He is communicative and sends pictures of our pet throughout our trip. Oats is a happy relaxed cat when we return from our trips! He is respectful of the home and has left the place neat and tidy.”


5. Madi L.

“Madi did a great job with our 3 rescue and 1 foster dogs in our home for 5 days. Maddie walked, played ball and was in tune to each of their unique needs. Maddie is responsive, reliable and caring. We will definitely book with Maddie again.”


6. Karla V.
“Karla took care of our dog, Max, and our cat, Cleo, while we were away for a long weekend, and she did an incredible job! Max is a high-energy shepherd mix, and Cleo is a bit of a diva, but Karla handled both of them with so much patience and love. She made sure Max got his daily walks and playtime, and she kept up with Cleo’s picky feeding routine without any issue. She even swept up cat litter and kept the place spotless! We came back to two very content pets and a tidy home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again." — Ivan & Katty”


7. Janet C.

“We used Janet’s services for a weekend trip for a wedding, and she stayed at our home with our rambunctious girl. Janet is so sweet and communicative. I’m anxiously attached to my dog but something about Janet is just so reassuring and I just felt like I could trust her. She is responsible, friendly, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending me cute photos of my dog. When Janet left, my dog ran to the door and whined for her back. She was more sad to see Janet go than excited to see me again. I’ll take that as a super good sign that my dog felt safe and loved by her. I 100% will be using Janet’s services again in the future, and I’m so happy that I found someone near me that loves on my dog like I do. I’d recommend her any time.”


8. Jimena W.

“I cannot recommend Jimena highly enough for any pet sitting needs! She took care of our pets as if they were her own, ensuring they were not only well-fed and exercised but also loved and comforted, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Jimena went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with photos, which were the highlights of our day. Her communication was excellent, making it easy to coordinate everything from the initial meet and greet to any specific instructions we had. It was such a relief to know our furry family members were in such capable and caring hands. Our pets absolutely adored her, and it was evident in their happy demeanor upon our return. Thank you, Jimena, for your exceptional service and for giving us peace of mind while we were away. You truly deserve more than five stars!”

“Kimberly is reliable. She follows directions well! She worked very well with me puppy and made sure everything was cared for. Highly recommend!”


10. Mandi A.

“Mandi was great. The boys seemed very content. My dog requiring shots was not apprehensive after which speaks positively. Would definitely recommend.”




11. Laura L.

12. Kimberly M.
“We’re so thankful for Kim! She is very good at communicating. She’s been amazing for our fur baby & us for 6months. it’s reliever to find someone to rely on. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”


13. Elliott P.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have taken care of many from different sizes, ages and breeds. I believe I am a great person for the job because I will make sure that your pet is treated very well and has a great day while being apart from their owner. I’m always active which helps with going on walks especially if they like long walks. You can always count on me to be there when need and go above and beyond my efforts to make sure your dogs are given a great experience and you as well. I’m currently looking for a job during the summer and will be attending saddleback community college in the fall but as of now I’m very open with my schedule. I will follow all given directions and schedule. Make sure to give them attention and take them out to go to the bathroom or walk. Will make sure there is food and especially water accessible for the dog always. And I will of course make sure doors that need to be locked are locked before I leave your dog.


14. Sarah Kaitlyn O.

“We completely trust Kaitlyn to care for our special-needs Ragdoll. She is consistent and detailed about giving our cat his medications, and she gives him extra attention and love, which gives us peace of mind whenever we’re out of town. When we return home, it’s clear that both our cat and our home have been well cared for.”


15. Maximus R.
“Max is a responsible young man who loves animals! He has cared for my dog on several occasions and he treats her like she is his very own pup.”


16. saralinda c.
“Saralinda has exceeded my expectations! She has a great attitude towards dogs and makes sure that they are not only safe but get plenty of time outside regardless of their size. She treats them with kindness and my dog always gets excited when she sees her on the next visit. I feel at ease knowing my baby is in good hands.”


17. Elena C.

“Elena did a very good job in taking care of our 3 dogs and house while we were gone. She had no issues in walking Higgins (husky/belgium) mix and giving Georgie his required medications. We felt very comfortable with her. We appreciated the pictures and texts that she sent us on a daily basis.”


18. Sina S.
“Sina is an incredibly kind and gentle person who took wonderful care of my furbaby, Charlie. He walked him, fed him, and gave him his meds with care. I highly recommend Sina as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. He truly loves animals and treats them with love.”


19. Nadine F.
About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve also been raising my own two dogs since they were puppies, and being part of their growth and everyday life has been incredibly rewarding. Dogs just bring a kind of joy and energy that I really connect with. I work part time 3 days a week for full 8 hours from Monday to Wednesdays. Thursday- Sunday is flexible . I am able to do check ins up to 3 times a day While taking care and making sure your pet is comfortable is priority, I also emphasize that respecting the home is of equal value and that every pet and owner should feel comfortable with my presence. Keeping a clean environment for pet and owner is a huge priority.


20. Mitzy B.
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs after working at a pet daycare for two years. As well as, volunteering at my local animal shelter. With my experience, I have been able to to gain skills on how to handle and properly care for pets. I have experience with walking, feeding, and bathing dogs, as well as giving care to cats. I recognize the importance of pet care and being able to make them feel happy and safe! I’m currently attending college, so my schedule is more open during the weekends. This allows me time to get in pet play time and care. I am available Friday-Sunday during any time of the day with 2days notice in advance, so I can efficiently schedule care for your furry friends. I can make myself available to walk and provide drop in care when in need. I can also get to your dog or cat in a timely manner so they can receive the care they need. As well as, providing proper updates of your pet, so you can see how they are throughout the day.
