“Bennie & Jennie were lifesavers! Their regular updates with pictures and videos kept me relaxed while on my vacation. My cat formed a bond and trusted them fairly quickly while she was boarded in their home. I almost felt guilty taking her back when I returned. Can't recommend these wonderful cat sitters enough!”
“We’ve used Alvina on several other occasions to do 2 drop-in visits a day while we’ve been away for a week or so. I find it VERY difficult to be away from our 3 cats, but Alvina makes me worry less. She is professional, punctual, reliable and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Alvina.”

About: I have been born and raised with multiple dogs and 30+ cats. I have always been with animals, and I am highly experienced with their behavior and how to properly take care of them. I am also a genuine pet lover. I will make all of them happy and that’s my mission. My work start at 1 pm so all the week day morning I am able to take care of animals. I also work remotely on Friday so I can do late afternoons on Friday. The weekend are completely vacant. for in-home services, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and respecting your space. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand their needs and behaviors. I’m happy to walk dogs, feed both dogs and cats, and play with your cat to make sure they get attention and stimulation. I can also clean litter boxes, food areas, or any messes. You can count on me to keep your pet happy and your home tidy, with regular updates for your peace of mind.
“Ku is wonderful and incredibly kind to our cat. Bubu absolutely adores her company and gets so excited every time she visits. She takes such great care of him, and he truly enjoys being around her.”
About: I have a Ragdoll cat who was born blind, and I’ve been taking really good care of her. Over time, I’ve learned how to help her feel safe and confident by keeping her environment consistent and being extra gentle with her. I really love cats—they’ve always been a big part of my life, and I enjoy building trust with each one. I also help take care of my friend’s senior dog, so I’m familiar with the extra love, patience, and slower pace that older pups need. I’m a PhD student at UCI and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can be around during the day to check in, give attention, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m a PhD student at UCI and have a pretty flexible schedule—and I sometimes work from home, so I can be around during the day to check in, give attention, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine so they can feel at ease with me. I keep their environment calm, quiet, and consistent—especially important for pets that are anxious, senior, or have special needs, like my own disabled Ragdoll cat.

About: I live on a farm and have taken care of animals most of my life, including dogs, cats, chickens, and cows. I've also stayed over at some of my friends houses to take care of their dogs whenever they leave on trips and need a sitter. I'm currently on summer break from college and have plenty of time to take care of your pets throughout the day and even overnight if wanted. I can take care of your pet in your own home in whatever way you would like. I am happy to take dogs on walks and play with any animals. I will also abide by any house rules or routines that I am told.
“Amazing sitter! Zhaoyang and her family gave my kitty so much love and attention. She also sent me regular pictures of my cat, and I can tell she brushed her often. My cat already misses her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have lived with and cared for many dogs of various sizes ranging from Jack Russell Terriers to Great Danes. I have the biggest soft spot for dogs and animals in general. I currently have a seven-year old border terrier mix named Kiko. Kiko has anxiety (around other dogs or being in unfamiliar places), so I have experience with anxious pups! A flexible work schedule during the week allows me the time to drop in to take your dog on midday walk. Staying local on the weekends allows me time and flexibility to care for your pup on weekends as well, if needed! Very flexible and understanding to specific dogs’ needs. I have experience working with dogs with anxiety. I understand each dog can have their own triggers, and I make sure to take time to understand each dogs’ specific needs! Every dog is different and will require different care. I will make sure to follow any specific guidelines to make your dog feel safe and loved!
About: I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. I am experienced with helping them walk, feed, play, and clean up when I have their fur babies in my care. I love to pet and play with pets. In fact, you will find me frequenting a pet store just to look at pets! For the past 3 years, I lived with 2 dogs in a house. And I have a lot of experience taking care of them and come to understand well that each dog comes with their own set of unique characteristics and personalities. I've always enjoyed spending time around animals and I find dogs to be adorable and calming to be around. You know you're in good hands as you can count on me to ensure your dog is taken care of! I am currently working part-time so I operate on a fairly flexible schedule where I will have plenty of time to watch your pet. I will be scheduling doggy daycare and services around the days I am off work from my other job. I also live with my husband who is also a dog-lover who works remotely 2 days out of the week, you can trust that there will be an extra pair of eyes that can help watch your pet. I live in a clean condo with wooden floors. I also have a fenced back patio. If your dog ever needs a potty or a bathroom break, they can easily go in this outside patio area.

Meagan C.
“Meagan was amazing with our dog, Willow. She kept him safe while going out to our nearby dog park and helped our dog make doggy friends. Now, I bring Willow to the park and meet up with the friends he made ever since! In addition, she took good care of him with having him eat on time and made sure he followed his diet. She took care of Willow a few times per month and noticed she kept him active and challenged. This improved his sleeping habits as well. I am thankful for Meagan’s work.”

Deborah did an amazing job taking care of our cats yet again! She went above and beyond keeping everything tidy and sending detailed daily updates. We were able to have a worry-free trip knowing she was there. Don’t hesitate to book Deborah for your petsitting needs!
Novia informed me that she was available to cat-sit for another day as our flight would arrive late and we were more than happy to have our cats’ needs be addressed. Novia was also communicative throughout our interaction on the app. Our cats and everything in our place were well cared for.
Amazing cat sitter! Have a sick older boy who needs lots of meds and particular food. She came over the day before to see where everything was and took notes. He was a bit difficult with her so she even tried to wear a thick jacket and sent a video trying to give him his meds to see if there was anything I could recommend. Thank you Amber!!
So glad I found Xiao! She did two drop-in visits to check on Smolkat while I was out of town, and everything went super smoothly. Smolkat can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up fast — which says a lot. Xiao made sure he had fresh food and water, cleaned the litter box both days, and even took time to play with him so he wouldn’t get lonely She sent me updates and photos from each visit, which really helped me relax knowing Smolkat was in good hands. When I got back, Smolkat was calm and happy — honestly, he might’ve been a little disappointed that I came back instead of Xiao 😄 You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and takes the job seriously. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!
Elsa was amazing. She took care of our cats, Bobbie and Zoee while we were away for two weeks. The attention given to our cats was incredible. She was proactive and had initiative. We received daily updates in both photos and videos. We appreciate it so much as our time away from our cats were free of stress and worry.
Briana was fantastic! This was the first time we left our cat for an extended time (8 days) with someone we didn't know and Briana made it very easy to trust that our cat was in good hands. She was very communicative on when she was arriving and how things were going with our cat. She clearly loves animals, especially cats, and is very knowledgable in social and behavioral tendencies of cats. We would absolutely have Briana watch our cat again!
Thu was awesome for my cats. She communicated daily about how they were doing, ir if she had question/concerns about anything. She spent time with the cats and built a good relationship with them so they felt safe and loved. I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely book again if she is availble
Julian did an amazing job caring for my dog and cat! She stopped by my house several times a day throughout the weekend, and she stayed for a long time each time to make sure my fur babies had plenty of human interaction. I asked her last minute if she could stop by one more time, and she was more than happy to do it. I felt so good knowing that she was taking care of them. I highly recommend Julian, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!
I highly recommend Alexandra! She took care of my cat, Peach, for eight days and did an amazing job. She followed all my instructions carefully and provided daily updates with pictures. Alexandra built a great relationship with Peach, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. I never had to worry, knowing my cat was in such good hands!
She is the best sitter. She took care of my cat with great attention to detail, and you could really feel her love for cats. My cat seemed completely at ease while she was with her. During our vacation, she sent us several photos and videos every day, so we could see how well our cat was doing. I would definitely book with Marjorie again. I highly recommend her.!!!
