“He was able to watch our dogs on a last minute request! Our dogs were in great hands and kept in contact about how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend!”


2. Megan V.


“Megan was excellent and great at communicating with us. It was our first time leaving our pup and I knew he would be nervous but when I met Megan I knew he would respond to her calm and sweet nature. Looking forward to our next booking! Thank you, Megan!”


3. Cheyenne M.

“Cheyenne watched our 11 month old mini golden doodle, Teddy, for 10 days. We were really nervous about leaving him because we had never left him before. Also, he can be a little rascal at times. Cheyenne handled him like a pro! She followed our directions to the letter! Not only did she take care of our puppy, but also took excellent care of our house! She watered our plants and went above and beyond and raked our leaves. I received many photos and videos of Teddy during our trip, which put me at ease. I felt confident that he was in the very best of hands. Thank you, Cheyenne for being an amazing sitter for our puppy! I would recommend Cheyenne in a heartbeat! She is friendly, kind, responsible, and totally trustworthy!”

“Meghan is a caring, responsible, and attentive pet caregiver. She treats every animal like her own, paying close attention to their needs and personalities. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, Meghan goes above and beyond to make pets feel safe and loved. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family members!”


5. Xaiviea L.
“Xaiviea is obsessed with animals in the healthiest way. We've been best friends ever since I was 8 (I'm 31) and she's had SO many pets. She's never rehomed any for unnecessary reasons and I'm pretty sure she's a pet foster still i could be wrong but she used to I know that. I remember a while back she was looking for work cause she moved back to California from out of state and she was hurting for money pretty bad (I hope I don't get in trouble with her saying that haha) but she ALWAYS managed to get the fancy food all her dogs ate, always got there vitamins, always managed to have the money for vet apts, like she would go hungry before her pets would lol her pets wouldn't even notice whenever she'd be broke or something like that lol she can't pass a dog without yelling "GOOD BOY SPOTTING" can't watch any animal stretch without saying "biiiiiig stretch!" If you walk down the street with your dog by xaiviea she will ask you if she can pet it lol I have a corgi named Jack and she's the only one I trust to watch him. She's his regular sitter and I know she'll do anything to keep him safe and happy. Xaiviea is the best candidate for this job by far”


6. Julia M.

“Julia did a phenomenal job house sitting and watching our cattle dog mix Phoebe for 4 days. She was very professional, attentive, checked in with us and sent pictures, and left us a tidy home and happy healthy pup to come home to. Would certainly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”


7. Shelby H.

“Shelby is simply amazing. My dog adores her. Shelby is also great at communicating and sending photo updates, which put my mind at ease while I was away, Shelby also respected my home and left it in great condition. Highly recommend.”


8. Charlene S.

“Charlene was wonderful! She was so attentive to our for babies and sent us regular pictures which we truly enjoyed. We felt at ease leaving her with them as this was our first time and was very nervous. Highly recommend her.❤️”


9. Brittany C.

“Charlie and Alex my Scottish Terriers are 7.5 years old, and Claire my cat is 17 years old. Besides me who never goes anywhere because I don't trust anybody to watch these three, my mom is the only other person who has spent time with them. I needed to take a trip out of town for 9 days and I was stressed. Then I found Brittany. Alex is my guard dog. Charlie welcomes everybody. Brittany came in with doggie treats. Charlie immediately fell in love with her, Alex was guarded. In 5 minutes she had won Alex over. He was sitting right next to her as if it were me sitting on the couch. It was then and there that I knew she was the one I could trust to watch my group. I have pretty extensive instructions I'm one of those people and she followed it to a tee. Brittany well send you photos and video clips of your pets as often or as little as you want to make you feel comfortable. I was able to be away and know that Charlie and Alex and Claire were all being very well taken care of. Claire took a little bit of time to warm up but she did come around. Bonus, Brittany also tidied up my house for me. I would highly recommend her hands down. In fact I'm trying to see if she could help me in September.”


10. Sarah T.

“Sarah is just the sweetest thing! So attentive our fur babies loved her! Very communicative and sent pictures often which we love. Can’t wait to have her dog/cat sit again.❤️ we would highly recommend her!”


11. Kali C.

“Kali was great. She is very easy going. She followed all of our instructions. When we arrived home I could tell Paddy was completely relaxed with her. I give her 5 stars.”


12. Lily G.

“Lily is amazing! Extremely conscientious, followed all instructions to a T, great communication and sent so many photos. And most importantly, the pups loved her. So happy to have found Lily!”


13. Jayden B.
“Jayden B. is one of the most loving people I have ever met. Jayden is a huge dog and pet lover, she has 3 dogs that vary in size and weight. Jayden loves animals and people and would be a great candidate for this position”


14. Brittany F.

“So glad to have found Brittany! She took excellent care of Loki while staying at our home overnight, , and Loki really liked Brittany! Brittany is professional, caring and respectful. She took the time to visit our home and get to know Loki before staying to take care of him, asking all the right questions and making sure she knew all she needed to know. Brittany kept us up to date with how Loki was doing, and sent us lovely photos, she took great care of our home, leaving it clean and tidy and even stripping the bed! We have booked Brittany to care for Loki for a longer stay in June. Thanks Brittany!”


15. Meredith G.

“Meredith was great with house-sitting with our dog who can be reactive. We would definitely recommend her to others and hope to work with her again!”


16. Aaralyn H.
About: Hi there! I’m Aaralyn and have always been a lifelong animal lover. I would be more than happy to provide the help you need caring for your animals— whether it is just a few hours during the day or for a week! I am here to ensure your animals will be given the best care. To do this I will give your pets daily walks, enrichment activities and promise to treat your animals as if they are my own. I also love keeping you updated with photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're gone! To let you know a little about me, I am currently a UC Davis student and am looking to spend my time over the summer with some sweet animals! I have plenty of experience with many different animal such dogs, cats, and more. I know how to care for a range of pets as I have cared for senior animals and special needs animals before. I myself have a pup who needs medication every morning and night which come with side effects such as increase in thirst, hunger, and hyperactivity. So, I am well immersed with dogs that may require a little more maintenance. For house sitting, I’d love to meet your animals beforehand so they know who I am first and feel more comfortable when stay in their home for a prolonged period of time. What works best for me is a small yet informational note outlining your pets daily routine— things like when they eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, how much they eat, how often you would like them to be walked, where they go or what they do while I am out of the house, and anything else you feel is necessary. This lets me get an idea of what the animals needs/wants while I am there. This allows me to maintain a comfortable environment for them in hope to reduce any possible stress. For drop in visits: Usually I stay for about an hour and half per drop in visit but if more time is needed or requested that is not a problem! During that time, I will go on walks, engage in different activities with them, and check on food/water too. Also, while I am there if there is any other house maintenance that needs to be done such as skimming the pool or checking the mail let me know! I am happy to however I can. Overall, I hope to hear from you and meet all your pets soon! This summer, I do plan on working, likely part-time, so I will have lots of time to spend time with your animals and taking them on walks or other ways to exert energy! To keep the animals as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home I try to stick to a similar routine that they are used to.

I am flexable and here to make your life easier and less stressful as you go off to work, on relaxing vactions, and especially for those last minute family emergencies. Above all, i am here for your four legged friends' happiness and well being... as life happens to you ❤ Thank you for your time. I hope to meet you soon. -Chelsea


19. Christina P.
“I can't recommend Christina enough as a dog sitter! She treats my dog like she's her own-always kind, loving, and incredibly attentive. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pup is not just being watched, but truly cared for. She goes above and beyond to give her extra attention, and I always come back to a happy, well-loved dog. You won't find someone more compassionate or trustworthy!”


20. Teresa H.
“Teresa is a kind person who is so trustworthy and responsible. Bogey loved her. She keeps the house so neat and doesn't leave your dog alone very long. Bogey got a daily walk, fed well, got his meds and even was comfortable enough to sleep on the bed with her!”
