“Kristina is incredible and so empathetic to our dog’s wants and needs. He struggles with separation anxiety and Kristina was more than willing to accommodate to make him comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Trevor took great care of Romeo and our home for us, and we would highly recommend him in the future. He gave us daily pictures and updates to keep us informed.

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”
About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.
About: Hi! My name is Shelby. I am a dog owner and a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree in Animal Science on the path of becoming a veterinarian. I am looking to take care of pets of any size. I have experience from all over but the most significant one is my current workplace where I function as a veterinarian technician, so I’m more than confident in my pet handling skills. With that job comes responsibilities like medicating animals, watching and understanding body language, looking out for problematic symptoms, etc. all things I succeed in. At the practice I work at, we deal with dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperament, so do not be too worried if you book with me. With that being said, getting to meet your fabulous pet would be a great pleasure for me not only because I love animals but because it moves me forward in what I strive to become, which is, an understanding and caring doctor of veterinary medicine! I’m currently working full time as a veterinary technician. My schedule is Monday through Friday from 9AM-6PM, with an hour lunch break. I do have the weekends off. I have a fur baby of my own so I know how important it is to make sure whoever takes care of your pet is doing their very best and nothing less of that. I am an active listener so whatever you want me to do it will be done to a tee. Crating, giving medicine, enrichment activities, etc. are all things within my capabilities and even if something isn’t I will be sure to let you know beforehand. I have house sit before so updates on anything will always be given and I will leave your home just as it was. Your home and pet is like another part of you so I would never treat it as less than that.
“Nadine was absolutely amazing. She provided great care and companionship for our senior pup. She really put our minds at ease with updates through the day. We would recommend Nadine to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I have 15 rats, 4 guinea pigs, 1 bearded dragon. I'm also a foster fail dad to an amazing sweet dog named Landon, who's a pit mix but he's the absolute sweetest, we recently adopted Landon a little sister, Cora Jean, who is a mixed breed. We also rescued a staffy mix named Indica. I currently work full time as dog bather for Petco, I have my schedule 8 weeks in advance but some times may need to be changed, thank you for your understanding!!! My friend Elliot is also logged into my account and can take requests that I can't, to help you guys out!! Unfortunately at this present moment I am unable to host due to Landon being dog/ people selective. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause
About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air. I also have a lot of areas to play around the complex that is friendly to four legged creatures, I live near numerous outdoor amenities including parks and beaches for the pet to explore. The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.
“Brianna was amazing! All animals seemed happy and well taken care of! Will definitely be using her in the future and would recommend to family friends and anyone looking for a pet sitter !”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to blend genuine care with adaptability. I’m attuned to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or shy. I also prioritize clear communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with photos and notes after every visit. My commitment is to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. i always make sure my pets have plenty of exercise and are always attended to whenever i'm taking care of my pets i make sure they're loved and that they feel safe but most importantly they're having a good time with me.
About: My name is Hannah. I worked at West hills animal hospital. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 5+ years. i understand the importance of trusting someone to care for you "kids". i grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets! But i couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old, so i have flexible hours, i will be delighted to watch your fur babies! I would like to keep your fur babies as close to their schedule as possible, I would love taking them for walks! I want them to feel as close to home as i possibly could!

Jeanne S.
“Jeanne has been a very caring and conscientious sitter for our two sweet dogs. She always makes sure their leashes are secure and brings water and snacks if the walk is more than just around the block. She is very caring and considerate of both the animals and their parents, and is always ready to take the time for a belly rub or behind the ears. She's always happy to play with them as much as having the fur babies sit, lie down, and stay!”
