About: I have over 10 years experience caring for animals of all kinds. I worked as a pet store manager for 4 years and I oversaw cat adoptions and the care of newborn puppies. From horses, dogs & cats all the way to reptiles and arachnids, I’ve got you covered. I work online part-time and have a mostly open schedule to accommodate your critters! At home I care for 9 chickens and a lovely cat. I will do everything to keep your pet happy. Feeding, walks, playtime, or offering a safe and quiet space depending on your pets individual needs.


10. Thomas E.

“Tom did an excellent job taking care of my cat and house while I was away. He sent me daily updates with pictures, which I really appreciated. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing he was there with my cat and giving her special attention. I returned home and my cat was her happy and sweet self. I highly recommend Tom for any of your pet sitting or house sitting needs.”


11. Shawna R.


“I can't thank you enough, Shawna! This was smudge's first boarding experience and it was clear that he felt safe, confident, and happy the whole time. I had a lot going on this trip and not worrying about him made a massive difference. I appreciate how accommodating, attentive, and thorough you are with pick-up and drop-off, care, and updates. Would definitely book again!”


12. Aurora C.

“Aurora is great! She sent picture and video updates of my senior dog while we were out of town. Her communication is top notch and she is very sweet with animals and people alike. 10 out of 10, I will be using her for all of our pet sitting needs and will be recommending her services to anyone in need! Thank you for providing such excellent care to my dog and easing all of my concerns.”


13. Hannah S.
“I have known Hannah since college, and she has taken care of my dogs multiple times. I have absolute confidence in her. She is such a loving dog person, and I have so many great memories of my dogs greeting her because they love her so much. She took care of my dog Huck, who was a 65 pound Pointer, and then she has also taken care of my border collie/blue heeler mix Root. Both of my dogs have been very high energy and she handles it with ease. Hannah has a lot of energy to keep up with my dogs and seems very active herself… she has never turned down any extra outside time or hikes or long walks requested for them. I trust her with my fur children, and they always have a great time together.”


14. Kaya H.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13. I’ve volunteered at no kill shelters and kennels for 5 years. I currently have two fur babies now (both rescues) and my mother always had about 8 in her home. I’ve taken care of dogs from tea cup to Great Danes. I also have cared for dogs with diabetes, who were blind, and have cerebral palsy. I work full time (Mon -Fri) in the lower dessert, live in JT. I’m home around 4/4:30pm each day. Of course your baby will be the first one that I see once I’m off of work and before I go into work. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize each animal's well-being and comfort while following your specific instructions. I ensure they receive regular feeding, fresh water, and ample exercise through walks or playtime. I’m attentive to their unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, maintaining a routine, or simply providing companionship. I also keep their environment clean and safe, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are not just animals; they’re family, and I’ll treat them with the love and care they deserve!

“Great cat sitter!”


16. Grey B.
About: Being a pet mom has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. With three dogs and two cats, I’ve built a beautiful, chaotic family that brings me joy every day. From early morning walks to cozy nights on the couch, I’ve learned the true meaning of unconditional love, patience, and the importance of bonding with my fur babies. What I can provide to your family is my 20 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet mom. I truly understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, having cared for a handful of dogs and cats of my own. This deep connection with pets allows me to provide tailored care, whether it’s managing medical needs, addressing behavioral quirks, or simply offering extra cuddles. My commitment, empathy, and attention to detail ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and valued, making their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while also giving you and your family the peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands. *As I have dogs and cats myself, I ask that your fur baby be current on vaccines and clear of symptoms of canine flu or kennel cough within the past 14 days. *NEW CLIENTS - Meet and greet required for day care and trial night required for boarding. I work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care & play with your fur babies. I let my dogs out at least 3x a day, I always provide fresh water, and if ever I have errands to run, I don’t leave my pets no longer than four hours. I’m very flexible with my time whether specific feeding and drinking schedule, providing medication, or if your baby doesn’t like being left alone, I can work around your pet’s individual needs. I have a fenced front yard and five friendly pets (3 dogs & 2 cats) to keep your fur baby company. I have baby gates to separate my pets from yours or I can keep my pets in the bedroom if needed. I always keep a close eye on my pets when they’re out in the yard.

“Destiny would be an AWESOME pet caregiver! She is extremely kind, warm, loving and has a huge heart! She has had pets of her own and has provided them with exceptional care and love. She is extremely trustworthy and will always make sure that each pet that is in her care is showered with love and affection.”


18. Adeline & Tristan W.

“So thankful for the great care you took of my cats! Thank you!”


19. Gary M.
“Gary is the best dogsitter/walker! He's looked after my dog and cat multiple times. He always goes above and beyond when looking after pets when I'm out of town. He's reliable, responsible, and a true animal lover. In short, Gary is the best and anyone would be lucky to hire him.”


20. Elizabeth B.
“Liz is a detail oriented, kind, and truly wonderful caregiver to animals. She has taken care of my dogs on countless occasions, either for walking or sitting. She is adaptive and can take on different challenges, especially with one of our dogs who requires special food and care due to health problems. Liz is a respectful house guest, you wouldn't even know she stayed in your house! I don't trust my dogs with many people, but I will always trust Liz with their care - I know that she is taking the best care of them and they absolutely love being with her. She is also well versed in canine body language and can safely supervise dog play and socialization, keeping everyone safe and happy. She provides high quality care for your pets, keeping them happy, well exercised, played with, and well rested!”
