“I’ve booked with Jaden more than once now, and she does a great job every time. Jaden is great with my dog, and she is always a quick communicator both during the booking process and during the visit. 100% recommend!”


“This was my first time using this app and also my first time leaving my cats and house in the hands of a stranger... yet I couldn't be happier about the decision I made to hire Katrina to take care of everything. She followed my checklist perfectly and even went above and beyond during her drop in visits with my 2 cats. Her daily updates and pictures made me feel certain that my girls were happy and that things back home were totally safe under control while I was away. I hope to book her again in the future, and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs ?????”
“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”

About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals — growing up, there was never a time I didn’t have a furry friend by my side. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, from playful puppies to sweet senior cats. My experience working in an animal shelter taught me so much about animal behavior, health, and the importance of gentle, patient care. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or daily check-ins, I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have a cat of my own who’s been with me for 8 wonderful years, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. My flexible schedule allows me to care for my sweet boy and other fur-babies as well. I have a spacious house with plenty of room to play and a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. My kids absolutely love animals and are gentle and respectful with every pet they meet.
About: I’ve had at least 5 years of experience sitting for friends and family. I’m going to college and studying to be a Veterinarian. I volunteer at Kern County animal shelter, and my main task is cleaning puppy cages, so I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I am a college student at CSUB, studying to be a veterinarian. During the Summer, I have a lot of free time while still maintaining good availability during the school year. Even if I have classes, I would still be able to check on an animal every day. I make sure to remove anything that could potentially harm an animal (Sago Palm for cats) and if they enjoy going outside, to always have them on a leash and in my sight.
About: I also have experience with small birds (parakeets) and big birds (cockatoo) and I’m also a animal groomer if you would like to have your animal groomed. I am a full-time groomer at my families grooming shop. I also house sit for my cousin whenever she needs me. She has three birds and a schnauzer that I take care of. When watching animals and carrying for a house, I always put the animals in the house needs first and take acting if something happens animals are always my priority.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I spend all my money, time, and energy on my pets. I also have a diabetic dog so I am well versed in complicated pet care. I currently only have a seasonal job so. I am available basically always. I go to school monday through wednesday for 1-2 hours daily currently. i have a fenced in yard currently. All of my cats are indoor cats but one, he’s a stray that lives in a heated and cooled house in my driveway. I feed my dogs twice daily and administer insulin twice daily. Cats are fed twice daily unless hungry then they are given wet food.

“Marci was incredible with our girl Eris. It was very clear from the pictures that our girl LOVED spending time with Marci. We will absolutely book her again when we have another trip!”

“Breanna was great with my Millie dog. I was very apprehensive to book drop-in doggy visits because my Millie dog can be protective and not welcoming to anyone new in her yard and house. Breanna let Millie warm up to her on Millie's terms and Breanna even brought some of her doggies to play with Millie, with permission of course. I will definitely book drop-in visits with Breanna again for Millie. Thank you Breanna, you have made this stressful situation for us seamless and uneventful. Millie looks forward to having you stop by again especially if you bring one of your doggies to play.”

“Thank you so much for all you've done for my 3 babies, built so much trust in a short period of time and taking good care of them for them to feel comfortable enough to have play time. Really appreciate all you've done for me and my fur babies!”

About: I always had pets growing up and I got to watch them grow as well so any pup or senior I can take care of. I had a senior dog who needed medication growing up so I’m familiar and comfortable with that aspect! I just finished school and I’m a server at a restaurant! My hours can vary, but I can check on your fur babies before I go to work and after I get off work! I take care of clients pets usually at their home just because I have a small apartment and a cat! But I follow any house rules given to me by my clients and always watch when pets go outdoors because I know anything can happen in a split second.
“Jeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and now that I’m in the BEST years of that life (retired) I am able and ready to share all of my love and experience with new dogs and people! Although I can’t stay the night in your home, I CAN drop in, feed, play with, give snacks, even administer medication if needed, walk, and when it’s time for them to go to bed, make sure they are all tucked into bed. I can assure you that your fur baby will be loved and comfortable while your away- They will be treated with the love I give my own! As a retired person, I am living the dream, being a stay at home mom of fur children…let me love yours too! I am retired but my day starts with my three dogs at 5 in the morning, Everything I do revolves around them. They go out to use the bathroom then eat and come back in to sleep until around 7:30 then our actual day begins. Each Doodle goes on a mile and a half walk then my little pug, Sophia goes on her walk. Shes a senior so she only goes for as long as she can. This is a daily routine. They LOVE being outside so we spend almost all day outside on the patio playing when it’s nice…. They all love riding in the car so EVERYBODY at the bank, CVS, Dewars,Starbucks knows them by name. Where I go, they go! They have their spots in the car and they know their places. My kids are grown but I am definitely NOT an empty nester, they are my life and fulfill me 100%. For their safety with all the craziness happening in the world, as much as they love being outside, they are NEVER left outside when I am not home. They are brought inside and have been crate trained since they were 7 weeks old. It is their safe place and they love their crates. It’s where they sleep and where they eat too.
“Calie goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. She was incredibly patient with my dog who was not used to our new situation, and skillfully got my dog to calm down and trust her. Amazing work!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whitney was fantastic! Super attentive and friendly—she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was seamless, and it was clear she really cared about making sure the pups were comfortable and happy. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
