“Tala was great with the cats, very personable. We have a challenging senior cat which can be tricky but would feel comfortable recommending Tala to take care of anyone’s cats in the home :)”


“It was my first time leaving Shadow (my cat) alone, and I could not have been more reassured to have Nao take care of him. He took to her right away and demanded pets, and I was sent daily updates on his food, what they did together and lots of pictures!”


About: I have over nearly 15 years experience with various pets. Over a decade of experience with family/friends dog care. I’m an easy going animal lover.

About: I have previously worked for other dog walking apps and have always enjoyed working with dogs. I would love to continue that with your pup! I currently work on the weekends and will have time to do morning and afternoon walks with doggies! I would love to be a part of your routine. I always make sure doors are closed after me. I double check harnesses and leashes before leaving. I also bring my own poop bags and water for your pup just in case.

About: I am passionate about providing the best care for your dogs, whether it's during daily walks or while sitting. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to your furry family members. With years of experience, I bring a unique approach to dog walking and sitting, featuring my certified therapy dog who joins me on select walks. Together, we ensure every pup enjoys a safe, fun, and enriching experience. I'm committed to keeping your dog’s well-being a priority, and with annual therapy dog handler certifications and ongoing training, you can rest assured that your dog is in expert hands. I specialize in pack walks, where every dog is part of a fun, social, and supportive group—perfect for pups who love to explore and interact with others in a safe, controlled environment. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine by ensuring that the dogs I care for are consistently given the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Each day starts with a careful review of the individual needs of each dog in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or one-on-one sitting sessions, I make sure that every pup has a balanced routine that fits their energy levels and personality. In addition to walking and sitting, I also stay on top of training and development, ensuring each dog is well-behaved and safe. My therapy dog, who is part of the pack walks, also helps create a calming and positive atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience for all the dogs involved. I am currently off for summer break as a collegiate athletic trainer. I am available at most days and times, including weekends. My top priorities are safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for both the animals and myself. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I take every measure to ensure that each dog feels secure, loved, and well-cared for. Safety: I ensure that all dogs in my care are supervised and are in safe, pet-friendly environments at all times. At my home, I have a fully secure yard and a designated space for indoor play. When walking in the neighborhood or at a park, I always use secure leashes and harnesses, and I am cautious of surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I also have first-aid training and know how to handle any emergency situations that may arise. Trust: Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship with both pets and their owners. I maintain open and clear communication with pet owners and ensure that I follow their specific instructions for their pets. I also provide regular updates with pictures and videos to reassure clients that their pets are in good hands. Environment: Whether in my own home or a client’s, I create an environment that’s comfortable and enriching for pets. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure their familiar surroundings are respected and maintained, and I adjust my care routine to fit the pet’s specific needs and preferences. Ultimately, my goal is to make each pet feel like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I ensure every service I offer—whether it's walks, sitting, or pack walks—is done with the utmost care, attention, and respect for both the pets and their homes.

Don D.
“I moved from SF to Orange County 5 years ago. My lovely Golden Retriever Dobbie was 1 year old. My job often kept me away on some weekday evenings and even some weekends. I met Don through an online pet sitting ad. The very first time I asked him to dog sit for the evening, I could already see the connection between my Dobbie and Don. When I came home, Dobbie ran to me with tail wagging as usual. But, to my surprise, Dobbie then turned around and ran to Don! Later, I started asking Don to dog sit for my Dobbie over those weekends that I had to be out of town....I often felt guilty for having my Dobbie but not being able to spend all my evenings and weekends with him. Don made my life a lot easier.”
