“Nicholle was really lovely and communicative while looking after our senior dog. We were a bit behind schedule and she was very accommodating to our timing. I would absolutely book her again! Thanks Nicholle!!”

“There are too many good things to say about Adeline and the care she provided to our home — and most importantly, our animals! She communicates through text and picture, which provided such great comfort during our time away. It was clear when we got home that our animals were loved on and well cared for.. it seemed like we were never gone. Oh! And she left the house in amazing condition. I highly recommend Adeline.”

“Lillian took excellent care of our dogs! Our dogs were comfortable with Lillian from the start, and she followed our detailed instructions in looking after them. Our house was spotless when we got home, and our dogs seemed happy and relaxed. Lillian was conscientious and responded very quickly to my messages. I felt peace of mind with her caring for my dogs while I was away!”

“Julie did a wonderful job with my babies. She sent my photos every day. My house was left clean and tiday. I would definitely use her again and I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is cat, and I absolutely love animals! I have grown up around cats and dogs since I was young. I am very familiar through my years of experience on how to properly care for them. I obtained my Bachelors in Animal Science and currently work at a dog day care. There I handle all types of breeds where we monitor health, playtime, walks, and feeding, and grooming. I volunteered at an animal shelter for several years where I provided the residents with a safe, gentle, familiar face. I built several bonds with many of the cats and dogs there. I learned how to properly approach all types of behaviors. I currently am training my own puppy and am familiar with walking schedules, playtime, rest time, and just giving an animal a safe environment. pet care would fit into my weekly routine, I have a flexible schedule. Please message me on dates/ times that are needed so we can arrange! Since I have one dog and cat I am familiar with safety aspects at home. I always make sure my dog is taken out at least 5 times a day for optimal play time and potty breaks. I check my cats litter box everyday to ensure she has a clean space. I try to stay in a close proximity to my animals all of the time when I home so I know they are safe, and have company.
“This is our second time booking Shahrzad, and we couldn’t be happier! She is absolutely wonderful, responsible, warm, and attentive. Our cats adore her, and we feel totally at ease knowing they’re in her care. She sends sweet updates and goes above and beyond every time. So grateful to have found her! She is our go-to cat sitter now!”

About: I have always been an animal lover from a very young age and had my first dog at 10 years old. There is no one that would take care of your dog child better than me! I’m currently not working and this will allow me to be able to take the time to care for your pet. This will give me more flexibility and availability for you! I believe that pets are an extension of the family and treat them as such. Dogs are angels on earth and there is nothing truly more innocent and loving than a dog!
“Sam and Solene are literally the best sitters we've ever had. Our dogs love them and they took excellent care of our home. They were really great with updates. I highly recommend them. Check out their Instagram @soloandberry”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I love animals probably more then people at times and I will love your fur babies as if they were my own and take great care of them! I’m currently working Monday through Friday from 11-5:15 so I have availability before and a little after depending on location. I am also free on weekends. I live in an apartment so I won’t be offering to take in any pets as theirs a limit of how many can be staying here. At the moment.
“Nothing but great things to say about Austin! We have been looking for someone to watch our 2 dogs for a while. We used to use family or friends but wanted someone outside our circle to be able to rely on and we found that with Austin. Our 1 dog has a gamete of health issues and daily medication that is administered, and Austin navigated it without any hesitation. We came back home to a clean house, washed blankets and healthy, happy dogs. We are so lucky to have found Austin and highly recommend him. Thank you SO much Austin!”

About: I know how much love and trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. There's no animal, no matter its quirks or temperament, that could make this feel like work. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started with family pets grew into a passion for fostering and rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list - especially the ones who were most overlooked or misunderstood. I’ve learned how to meet each dog where they are, earning their trust and helping them feel safe. I run a non-profit that allows me to work from home with a very flexible schedule. Whether or not I’m caring for pets, I spend a few hours each day outdoors - walking, hiking, and staying active. The rest of the time, I’m happily working from my laptop at home. Having an animal around significantly just makes the day brighter. I’m based locally in Malibu and have a car, so I can easily come to your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I treat every home with the utmost respect and care; I believe that’s just basic decency. You can trust that I’ll leave your space better than how I found it. Having been a pet owner myself, I completely understand how important it is for animals to stay in an environment they already know and love. Safety always comes first, I don’t take risks with anyone else’s beloved pet, ever.
“Simply put, Bryn was a God-Send! Her abilities to manage, care and tend to every need of our pets was impressive and appreciated. Our pets are protective and sometimes temperamental but Bryn broke every barrier with them, stole their hearts and ensured they were safe, happy and well cared for in our absence. A testament to Bryn’s amazing communication skills were proven as we were provided pictures, videos and regular updates daily and without hesitation. We came home to happy pets and found Bryn even gifted our dogs with new toys and favorable treats. We could go on forever about how extremely grateful and happy we are to have entrusted Bryn with our pets and our home but will end with this…Bryn is the perfect example of what an incredible pet sitter is and will seek her services again when the need arises! We LOVE Bryn and so do our pets!!”

“We had a great experience with Staci! I have a 16 year old dog and Staci took the time to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Staci sent daily picutures and communicated throughout the day about how my pet was doing. She was even open to extending her stay, last minute, when my travel plans changed. I would love to have Staci watch my dog again!”

“Lindsay was a great dog sitter for our dog. She shared lots of pictures! She was in good communication with us if needed. We came home to a clean house. She even washed the sheets and towels. I would differently use her again.”
