We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our dog received from Kaileigh. She was incredibly responsible, loving and clearly passionate about animals. We were especially grateful for the frequent updates, which reassured us that our dog was in great hands. It's clear she treats every pet as if they were her own and our dog absolutely adored her! We highly recommend Kaileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away!

Very simply- Nick and Justin were awesome! Not only did they respond very clear to our initial last minute request, but they were so nice to our three dogs. Communicated every single walk that they were taken on and anytime that they were fed or let outside. If there were any concerns that they had, they made sure to connect with us before doing anything I felt like I was watching my dogs and I’m very appreciative. We will be sure to be using Nick and Justin exclusively for all of our trips in the future. And I would recommend them to you for your visit in the future as well. Thank you both.

About: I really love animals and spending time with them. I currently work as a dog walker, so I’m used to being around dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have my own cat, Leyla, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I treat every pet like my own, and their safety and happiness are always my priority. My work shifts end by 3:30 PM, so I am fully available for afternoon and evening care at your home. While my off days vary each week, I am very flexible and can provide dedicated time for walks or house sitting during those days. I am committed to following your pet's specific routine and ensuring they get the attention they need once I am off work. I am a very responsible and alert sitter who prioritizes the safety of your pet and the security of your home. I am extremely careful about locking doors and ensuring your pet is safe and supervised at all times during my visits. I stay in constant communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

Staci is wonderful. We just did a trial run for a longer trip and it worked out great! We have three dogs, one of whom is very difficult and she really was able to accommodate and work through his quirks. We also felt relaxed and appreciated her photos and updates.

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.❤️

We had Kelly come dog sit in January for a week. She was amazing! Very comforting for us that my dog, Sophie, would be cared for in my home. Sophie is normally an anxious dog. While Kelly was with her, Sophie was completely fine. I really enjoyed the photos of Sophie that Kelly sent me during her stay. Kelly stayed overnight for Sophie, she was very respectful of my home and left it the way she found it. I would highly recommend Kelly for your pet needs!!!!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and rescue enthusiast based in oakdale. I’ve had the joy of fostering several dogs over fthe years, and it’s taught me how to connect quickly with pets and understand their individual needs and personalities. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets who need a little extra attention—whether that means administering medications, taking things at their pace, or just offering calm companionship. Whether you need someone for a drop-in visit, a walk, or to keep your pup company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like they’re family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to share updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Let’s connect and see how I can help care for your furry friend! As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning drop-in, or keeping your pet company for a few hours, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your needs. Working from home also means I’m never in a rush—I have the time and attention to give your pet the care they deserve. I can pop in for frequent visits or stay for longer periods if needed, and I’m always just a message away if you want an update or a quick photo of your furry friend. My calm, consistent presence helps pets feel safe and relaxed, especially those who may experience separation anxiety or are more comfortable sticking to a familiar routine. In my home, pets are treated like family—because they are! Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to (and love). I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, whether that’s morning walks, mealtime rituals, or quiet time snuggled up on the couch.

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for 10 years. I have lots of experience with large/giant dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. Previous dog owners have been satisfied with my dog walking, house sitting, bathing, and medicine administration. I love them like they are my own. Hours available for dog walking are dependent upon the day. I am available everyday for dog sitting and house watching. My work schedule is Thursday-Saturday and Tuesday. I am available every night for overnight dog sitting. I love to bring my work to dog sit, this way after your pup is tired out from playing or walking, we can relax together and they get some cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a community with lots of paths to walk, as well as a beach to play at if allowed. When I let dogs out into the yard I make sure to keep a close eye on them (we don’t have any escape artists!).

About: I am a full time employee in an assisted living. I had my sweet dachshund for 17 years, and caring for her through her senior years taught me how to care and keep senior pets happy. Now I have a happy, energetic bernedoodle and two adorable bunnies at my parents house and always miss now that I am away. I I have been around both small and large dogs all of my life. Growing up I constantly house sat, fed and watered pets while my neighbors were away for pocket money. I look forward to becoming your dog’s new favorite sitter! I have work till 5pm and then the rest of the day I have time to take care of your pets. When I lived with my pets I would let them out in the yard in the mornings and as soon as I would get home. I made sure to give them attention and affection everyday. I have dealt with senior dogs and am well aware of their limits. It is my promise that I will make any dog of any age as comfortable and as happy as possible.

Kimberly was great! We've never used a pet-sitter before so were a little nervous, but Kimberly came over to meet us and our dog before we left and put our minds at ease. Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked. She was a great communicator before and during her stay with our pup and sent so many great photos. Just got home from our trip and the house is spotless. Definitely recommend!

Emma and Trent looked after our English bulldog for a week when we went away for vacation. This was our first time using anyone other than family to watch her but could not be more happy with our experience. Our dog, Darla, has lots of quirks that can make her a little more difficult than your average dog. From the moment Darla met Trent and Emma she fell in love and we knew she would be in great hands. We got regular updates and Darla seemed to enjoy her week with them. Trent and Emma communicated often and made us feel comfortable the entire time we were away. Would 1000% rebook with them both and we think Darla would agree. Emma and Trent are great people and go out of their way to make sure we and Darla were comfortable during the week

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!
