I’m so glad I found Christine. She made me feel very at ease leaving my kitty and using Rover for the first time! She was so kind and attentive, sent me tons of pictures of him on her visits, and even brought new treats (after asking me permission)!! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip and my kitty is probably already looking forward to seeing his new friend 🩵

Carolina looked after our dog and cat for six days while my household was out of town. She did a great job! Both pets are standoffish by nature but they warmed up gradually over the week. I received regular updates and felt reassured while I was gone.

Highly recommend! Very good with my Goldendoodle puppy. Always arrived on time and made sure that my baby was taken care of beyond expectations. I never had a single worry about my dog while I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to puppy sit again.

Alex has taken care of my two cats many, many times in the past, and if we’re lucky many, many times to comes! I always feel comfortable going out of town knowing my fur babies are being looked after by someone as kind hearted, conscientious, organized, and attentive as Alex. She’s helped me care for my cats when they’ve needed extra attention due to medical problems and provides consistent check-ins/updates during each visit. My cats (one in particular) are fairly nervous, but they feel comfortable with Alex! Whenever I return home, I can tell immediately that they have been well taken care of and enjoyed every visit from Alex.

I highly recommended Nicole for all your pet sitting needs ! My cats instantly gravitated to her when typically they are a bit shy and loved her energy. She was extremely reliable, responsive and caring. I will definitely be booking her services again for the next time I’m out of town. Thank you Nicole!

Kevin is the biggest animal lover I know! He has a cat of his own whom he loves and cares for dearly, but loves all dogs too! I think if he had a bigger apartment he would rescue every animal he could. He is very responsible, caring and would definitely be a reliable pet sitter! He has grown up with animals and is comfortable with cats and dogs. I think animals recognize his sweet demeanor as he walks around his neighborhood, as every pet he passes seems to love him as well! I would definitely recommend Kevin as a pet sitter.

Michael is excellent with our dog Kona! You can tell that he loves dogs. He’s attentive on walks and watching her in the house. She’s always very excited to see him despite her running anxious with some people.

Michelle gave such great care to my two cats while I was away. Her reports were very thorough and the photos made me feel close to them. My normally shy younger cat even allowed some pets which is a good sign! I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.

Morgan is awesome! She has cared for my two dogs, Rocky and Oliver on numerous occasions when I've had to go out of town and they always comeback happy and tired! She is communicative, easy to get a hold of, sends daily updates with photos and I know they are getting the best care possible. I am very picky about who I leave my babies with and I would highly recommend Morgan for all your pet care needs!

About: My diverse pet care experience and dedication to active, engaged care set me apart. I've cared for dogs and babysat neighbors' cats, hamsters, and chinchillas, giving me a broad range of pet care skills. I enjoy long walks, often covering 4-8 miles daily, perfect for energetic dogs. While I may not specialize in training, my compassionate and attentive approach ensures that every pet, whether young, senior, or unique, feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. I will treat your fur babies like they're my own. 🐾 I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the necessary attention. My mornings usually start with a nice walk, and since I’m home all day, I can take regular breaks to check in, give some belly rubs, and let them out for bathroom breaks. I love taking longer walks during lunch, especially in the safe and beautiful neighborhoods of Hillcrest or Mission Hills. After work, we can head out for another adventure, whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood, a trip to the park, or just hanging out at home. I’m staying in a large home with plenty of space in the living room, so your dog will have lots of room to play and relax indoors. And with my weekends wide open, I’m all in for hikes, beach outings, or spending more quality time together. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are a big part of my daily life, and I genuinely enjoy ensuring they’re well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. My home is clutter-free and minimalistic, ensuring that no items on the floor could pose a hazard to your pet. My house creates a safe space where your dog can move around without risk of injury. I build trust with your pet by approaching them patiently and respectfully, taking the time to understand their needs and preferences. I follow any specific care instructions you provide to make sure they feel secure and comfortable. For walks, I choose safe and pleasant routes in neighborhoods like Hillcrest or Mission Hills, providing a secure environment for outdoor activities. Whether your pet is with me or in their home, I’m dedicated to maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment supporting their well-being and happiness.

Cole is my son and has had many dogs in his life since he was first born. He has always connected with them, as well them with him. Our first 2 dogs, a very active wirefox terrier, and a golden retriever. Unfortunately, our golden retriever passed from lymphoma at the age of 11, and he was by her side every moment when we had to make the difficult decision to let her go. We then adopted an Australian Shepard, Neo, from Sea World, at 10 years old, after vigorous vetting for our family to be chosen for adoption, again the connection was immediate with Cole. Our current family dog, Maximus, now 11, was brought into our family when Cole was in high school and has endured his absence when he was away at college and no longer living at our home. When Cole comes to visit, Max is so excited to see him and cries when he leaves. Cole is an exceptional dog lover, and I would highly recommend him to be a faithful and entrusted dog caregiver
