“Waymon was great! He house sat and took care of of my kitty Freya for quite a long stay. Freya clearly loved him! He send lots of photo updates and everything went smoothly! Thank you Waymon!”

“Jasmine was nothing short of amazing! She took care of our two dogs and our house for three days while we were on vacation. She is a natural with animals, making our rescue dogs feel safe and secure. They loved her! On top of taking them on walks and playing with them, she also kept our plants alive during the heatwave and fed the multitude of wild birds who frequent our feeders. She even laundered the sheets on the bed where she slept. All and all, we found her to be trustworthy and reliable, just like one of the family. We're so lucky to have found her.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with our dog, Cookie. Cookie is extremely shy and has a lot of anxiety around new people, so leaving her while we were away was something we were honestly very nervous about. Elizabeth immediately gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient, attentive, thoughtful, and trustworthy. She understood that Cookie needed space and allowed her to warm up at her own pace, while still finding little ways to build trust and make her comfortable. By the end of the stay, Cookie was following her around, letting her brush her, and even rolling over for belly rubs, which is a huge deal for her! Elizabeth also communicated with us constantly, sending detailed updates, pictures and videos, and letting us know about everything from eating and potty breaks to small changes she noticed. We never once had to wonder how Cookie was doing. It was very clear that Elizabeth genuinely cared about Cookie and treated her like her own. Being away from an anxious dog can be stressful, but knowing Elizabeth was with her allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Elizabeth with Cookie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, attentive and truly great with animals. Thank you, Elizabeth!”

About: I am a passionate animal lover and a Biology major on a Pre-Veterinary path. I have lifetime experience with cats and over 4 years of experience in dog care, with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I am well-versed in walking, cleaning-up, feeding, play, and obedience. As a devoted animal lover, I care deeply for each animal that comes my way. I recently completed an Animal Behavior and Training course (with an A+) and am knowledgeable in reading an animal's needs, as well as with Classical and Operant Conditioning. My scientific knowledge of dogs' needs and behaviors gives me a specialized insight into their care and allows me to truly connect with each animal. I also volunteer weekly at the SPCA taking the vitals of cats and dogs coming out of anesthesia. As a college student, I am pretty flexible in my availability. I am unable to conduct visits or walks on Thursdays, but any other day of the week I am certainly able to care for your pet. I am very empathetic towards each animal and make an effort to truly connect with each pet. I maintain cleanliness in my clients' homes, and thoroughly clean the feeding areas and scoop poop each day. I understand the amount of trust required to allow a stranger into your home, and I take measures to assure I leave your home exactly as I entered it.

About: There's something about caring for dogs and cats that brings my heart alive. There's nothing I'd rather do than care lovingly attentively for these animals. I am a retired English teacher, and my time is unlimited. I prefer long term, overnight sitting in your home. I am fit and love walking and playing with your loved one. I treat them as if they were my own. Having been raised caring for my families dogs, cats, horses, cows, ducks, fish, and even peacocks, I am most comfortable with animals. I follow instructions, administer medicine when necessary, and leave your home in perfect condition as you left it. Some folks say I'm too old to do this...I know I'm not. I can walk 2 miles easily with dogs. I have described my affection for dogs and cats which I hope reflects the care I will provide, and I would be so pleased to serve you.

“Danni was accommodating with our schedule and made sure our pups were safe. It’s comforting to know the pups weren’t alone while we were away 😇.”

“As always, Joel looked after our pooch and our home with thr care and respect he always does. Joel is Loki's best friend! This time was at short notice, and only a brief stay. Joel went out of his way to accommodate us. Thanks Joel!”

“So grateful for Lauren-she was responsive and left my home as clean as I had left it for vacation. She was also flexible when my travel plans had an emergency that extended my hours. She’s my first choice next time I’m out of town!”

About: I have been taking care of animals pretty much all my life. I am an animal lover, especially good at caring for senior animals and those with special needs. I have recently left teaching and currently I work part time and can make my own schedule. I sometimes care for my granddaughter during the week, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I will care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I will tend to their needs, we will play and bind and have a wonderful time and you will be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about them.

“We have never had anyone stay at our house with our animals before, so the idea of leaving them with a complete stranger was very daunting. Sydney was absolutely wonderful with our two big, rambunctious dogs (2 year old huskies) and four cats. Our house was exactly as we left it and she sent lots of updates so we could see everyone’s sweet faces and how much fun they were having without us! She was terrific about updating us when she got here and letting us know how everything was going. She was always very responsive through the whole process, and it was very clear our animals were all comfortable and enjoying their normal routine with her. We will absolutely have Sydney back, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”

“Marisela went above and beyond with my girls. I appreciate your willingness to help me in my day notice request. She was extremely understanding and patient to my eldest dog who takes a little longer to build trust. I highly recommend her services— I have very picky expectations who watches my girls.”

Adriana C.

“Excellent communication, babies were all very happy and cared for. House was perfect upon coming home…. Will rebook with you again for sure! Thank you so much.”

“Our short-notice trip was wonderful, as Bari made it possible. She’s kind and loving to our little mutt. Thanks, Bari! So highly recommend her!”

“Aichav took good care of the dogs and my house while I was gone. I appreciated all the photos and updates while I was away and she was very flexible with timing to start and end the sitting time. I came back home later than expected and she stayed with them until I was able to get home. Thank you”

About: Hello I am currently a volunteer and the animal shelter , I’ve been a volunteer for 10yrs. I have 3 dogs of my own. Ive had dogs since i can remember. I’m working towards being either a dog groomer and working at the animal shelter as an employee. I’m currently working part time , and volunteering. I have open availability to walk your dog Monday -Saturday i can be flexible if need be. Make sure your pet or pets are fed on time. I will provide exercise and make sure they are in a safe environment. I can check in on the pets or pets as often as you want me to.

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. I understand that every animal is unique, with their own routines, preferences, and ways of communicating. I am a mature, compassionate, and responsible professional employed full-time with the State of California. My background also includes many years in education, leadership, and positions requiring a high level of trust, patience, and attention to detail. I have also 20+ years of house/petting sitting experience. My approach to pet care is grounded in kindness, attentiveness, consistency, and respect. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether your pet enjoys energetic walks, playful companionship, quiet affection, or simply having someone nearby, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable and happy. I am especially interested in overnight and extended house-sitting opportunities. I understand how important it is to know that your beloved animals and home are being cared for while you're away. I treat each home with respect and every pet with the same tenderness and consideration I give my own. I am happy to provide regular updates and photographs, follow established feeding and care routines, and accommodate reasonable special requests. My goal is simple: to give you genuine peace of mind and help your pets feel secure, content, and loved until you return. I currently work in the office, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (general 8 hour day with flexibility) and Wednesdays I work remote. Saturdays and Sundays I'm available all day. I'm a home centered person, so I'll have plenty of time to give companionship and play. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I believe that animals feel most secure when they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes. With more than 25 years of house and pet-sitting experience, I understand the importance of providing a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment while respecting each pet's individual personality and needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, exercise, household routines, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to your pet's behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, and I take care to keep doors, gates, and other potential hazards secure. I treat every home with the same respect and consideration I would want for my own. I maintain a clean and orderly environment, respect your privacy and belongings, and ensure your home is secure throughout your absence. Communication is especially important to me. I am happy to provide regular updates, photographs, and reassurance so you can feel connected to your pets while you're away. As a full-time State of California employee, I maintain a dependable professional schedule and am especially well suited for pets who are comfortable with their owners working during the day. I provide attentive care before and after work, overnight companionship, and additional time together on weekends. Above all, I want you to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that has been lovingly and responsibly cared for.

“Missy enjoyed her time with Christina so much! She can’t wait to have her come and stay with her at Christmas! Christina’s communications were great and she left our house looking great!”

I specialize in dog walking, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment, administering oral medication with care and attention to detail, and providing basic training to support positive behaviors. As a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs, I know how important it is to entrust your furry family members to someone who truly cares.

Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or ensuring they stay happy and healthy, I’m here to make your dog’s day as joyful as possible. Your pup’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to drop in to check in on your furry friends, take them on walks throughout the day, or give them my fullest attention when boarding in my home! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two furry friends to provide your companion with some company! I live right next to a dog park to get some movement and exercise in and am able to crate your dog if needed.

“Very communicative and I returned to a happy kitten!”
