“Christina was amazing, I came home to happy and tired dogs. I appreciated how much she communicated through the stay when things changed and that she sent me updates like I requested. I always get a little nervous leaving my dogs but they looked so happy on the walks it made me really enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.”


“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”

“OMG. I had a family trip and my regular dog sitter was gone for a part of the time and I was seriously considering canceling my trip. Bridget jumped in handled all three dogs and the cat like a charm. We enjoyed our trip and knowing that the dogs were safe And happy. We have photos to prove it! I highly recommend Bridget!”


“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”


About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs who I would often feed and pick up after, making sure they got what they needed and bringing them inside the house whenever they were allowed. More recently I’ve taken care of my family’s new dog where I would take her on walks for a duration of time, making sure shes pooped and stuff, sometimes even taking her to the park and playing fetch! I also made sure she had food and water. Overall I’ve been around many types of dogs and learned how to interact or cooperate with them. I am free all day all week so I am practically open to any schedule! Although I do plan on getting a part-time job pretty soon so until then I should be open. Whenever I am with pets, I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and trusted with me. This could vary from petting/rubbing them or even just getting them food. I make sure to attend to all their needs but make sure they don’t go over board. Like I’ve said before, I have much experience with pets!
“We couldn’t be happier with Brionna’s performance watching our beloved 14 year old puppy. We’ve never been away from her for 5 days before and we could tell from the wonderful pictures Brionna sent that she was relaxed and happy, which made it a relaxing trip for us. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but she deserves lots of praise for what she did, looking out for our house as well as being a great dog sitter!”

“Trixie was so excited to hang out with Kayana from day one. Kayana was really respectful of my apartment and really went above and beyond for my girls. They sent me pics regularly and even obliged when I needed more after a particularly difficult day. :) My girls and I loved Kayana and look forward to hanging out with them again!”

About: I grew up in a house where there always seemed to be animals in every corner, so it's probably no surprise that I ended up making a career out of caring for them. For the last 15 years, I've worked with hundreds of animal rescues and supervised veterinary teams to care for animals of all kinds. I've learned everything from reading behaviors to administering meds and cleaning wounds...but just as importantly, I've learned how to make animal's feel safe and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I've fostered dozens and have three of my own (all with different energy levels, high and low) so trust that I know how important it is to find someone who will love them like family. In a way I'd want for my own pets. I'm also currently expecting my first baby (yay!), so I'm taking a step back from my regular career for a while. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm currently taking a step back from my full-time career to enjoy my first pregnancy (I'm still quite early), so I have a very flexible schedule and am around most days :) I always try to keep routines as normal as possible while you're away. I'll send plenty of updates (I usually have my camera with me, so expect lots of photos!) and make sure they get all the love, exercise, and attention they're used to. I'm comfortable administering meds, performing injections, wound care, nail trims, and anal gland expressions. One of my dogs is a GSP, so high-energy dogs are right up my alley, and I'm always happy to keep up with walks, adventures, or training. Honestly, I'm here to care for your pet in whatever way makes you feel most comfy, even if that just means sitting on the couch while we watch some old movies. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or take care of the little things around your home while you're away. My goal is that you come home to a happy pet and a house that's exactly how you left it.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
“Cassandra provided wonderful care to my sweet boys ;) Plenty of pictures and updates were sent and all activities well documented. Will definitely book with Cassandra in the future!”

“Elizabeth did an amazing job! This is the first time I’ve had a pet sitter. My cat had a wound and a cone and no one except my mom has ever watched my dog. So, I was a little nervous. But, Elizabeth’s sweet spirit put me at ease. She sent me pictures of my cat’s wound so I could see the progress and pictures of my dog when she walked him. She also sent additional periodic pictures and gave me updates. Elizabeth was very thorough and truly cared about doing the best job possible. My house was immaculate when I came home. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her!”

“Lindsey was wonderful! She was so patient, caring, and loving with our girl. As pet owners, it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with both your home and your pet, but Lindsey went above and beyond to put us at ease. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Kristen was amazing. We booked her last minute, but she still made time to come to our home, meet Chapo, and take notes on everything she needed to know. Our flight was early in the morning, and as soon as I sent the request, she responded right away and came over to learn about his meds, routine, and schedule. We’re so grateful for her. She played with Chapo, took him on walks, and made sure he got his meds since he had an upset stomach when we left. She updated us every time she was with him, which gave me so much peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend her!”

I always get a little nervous leaving my dogs but they looked so happy on the walks it made me really enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.

Miranda was professional, friendly and responsive from the first interaction. I had a difficult situation with two fairly new rescue dogs that sometimes get into doggy tiffs and she handled it with confidence and ease. She kept us updated regularly while we were gone and let me know if there were any issues. When I got anrrived home from our 12 day trip, our house was very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a pet sitter!

Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!

Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)

Bridget is not only highly recommended by me, but by my dog & cat too! This was the first time in a long time being away from my pets and Bridget put my mind at ease the minute we met for the meet & greet. She updated and sent pics twice a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Bridget!

Avery was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I would definitely book with Avery again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and pet sitter!

This is the second time that I’ve had Jack stay with our beloved babies. I’m a very anxious person, and I really appreciate all the attention and care that Jack gives our babies. And in addition to that he is very responsive and he leaves our house better than he found it. I feel like I am so overly blessed by having Jack take care of our babies.

Once again, Shauna took such great care of my beloved pets while I was away. My pup is always so happy to see her and she looks happy from the pics Shauna sent. Even my cat who usually just hides trusts her enough to come out of hiding and receive Shauna’s love & attention. The house is spotless and pets are happy calm healthy when I return. Shauna is the best!! I’m now scheduling my travel around her schedule.
Caleb has been an excellent sitter both times for our pup Cooper, kept me updated on his status and was fast with his responses. The dog likes him and so do I. Anytime I am out of town I will be looking to use his services should he be available. I highly recommend him should you find yourself ever in need for a sitter.

Delanea took great care of my senior dog, Bella, who has several age-related health issues and requires extra attention. She was punctual, communicative, and kept the house clean throughout her stay. Most importantly, Bella seemed happy, comfortable, and very relaxed when I returned home, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Caring for a senior dog can be challenging, and I appreciate the time and attention Delanea gave her. Thank you for helping care for my sweet girl.
