“Margaret is great with the animals and very caring and conscientious. My shy dog is comfortable with her and my moody kitty is totally loving with her. She’s a natural!”

“I've had Nick watch Sadie a few times now and it's safe to say he does a great job! Sadie genuinely seems to love when he swings by to watch her for a few days. He's very quick to respond to messages and takes wonderful care of Sadie. Always happy to rebook with him!”

“Meng did an amazing job watching Otto and Archie for us while we were out at an event all day! The boys got lots of play time and a walk. Meng left our house spotless as well. Will book again!”

“Liana did such a great job being a sitter for my dog! Her calm demeanor and warmth made my dog comfortable with her instantly and feel safe with her in his space. She did a great job asking me questions and making sure she was informed on how best to care for my dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Aolani took great care of our cat, Ralphie, while we were out of town for a weekend and made sure to provide plenty of updates and photos! Our cat loved Aolani's pets, and she left our home in great shape. Would absolutely recommend and book again.”

“Jeff is an excellent pet sitter. They took lots of care and made sure the dogs and cat were well looked after. They left our house very tidy and clean. Will definitely be booking with them again.”


“Sam was very communicative and professional, giving us lots of photos and updates during his first sit with our pup. Was able to manage our high energy golden retriever puppy with no issues!”

“Once again, Jennifer took excellent care of my kittens! They were happy and healthy when I got home and the house looked just as clean as when I left! There were some tech issues and Jennifer was able to look into them for me and get them sorted so all of the automated cat gear could continue to function.”

“We booked Nicholle for a one-night stay with our pups and really appreciated that she was available last-minute! She sent plenty of photo updates and kept us in the loop, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks again for helping out on short notice!”

“Yuliia went above and beyond with my puppy. She kept me updated, sent pictures, spent plenty of time with her and made sure she was happy the entire time. Thanks to Yuliia she made my trip feel a lot easier knowing my pup was in good hands.”

“Deirdra house sat Rosita for 5 days. She not only walked Rosita for almost 3 hours per day, she made sure she was loved. Deirdra even cleaned my home, watered my plants and left me a detailed journal on what happened while I was away. She also sent me photos almost daily. I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for an amazing dog sitter.”

“Natasia is a new sitter for us, and we tried her out with a couple of visits to our home before we went out of town for a few days last weekend, and she was everything we could have hoped for and more. We have two dogs, one of which is newer to our family, just over a year old and possessing a lot of energy. Natasia is not only a sweet and calm energetic presence, but she is also highly reliable, responsible and responsive with regard to messaging about our upcoming appointments, as well as wellbeing updates about the dogs. Most importantly, our dogs acted as though they were well cared for and loved in our absence. We highly recommend Natasia for any and all of your doggy needs :)”

“What a fantastic first experience. Todd was recommended to me. We had a great meet and greet and my dog immediately loved him. He had to give him drops and use an inhaler and it all went smooth. Very happy I found Todd.”


“Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!”

About: Hello! I discovered my passion for pet care as an auntie to friend' dogs and looking after them, which quickly grew into a thriving, word-of-mouth pet-sitting service built entirely on trust and stellar referrals. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets behind, and my primary goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to stubborn 80-pound Bulldogs. Pup mamas often tell me they won't leave their doggos with anyone else because of the deep personal attention and kind care I provide. I look forward to giving your dog or cat that same elite level of focus and attention. And of course, sending you plenty of pupdates. I work as a personal fitness trainer, meaning my client sessions are split with natural gaps throughout the day. Because I am only away for short blocks of two to four hours max at a time, I can easily accommodate early morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. This flexible, active routine allows me to easily fit into your pet's established schedule without long gaps in their care. I am also fully available for overnight house-sitting bookings on weekdays AND weekends, providing your pet with dedicated companionship and structure while you are away. I provide pet care exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, as I do not host animals in my personal residence. This environment ensures your pet stays relaxed, stress-free, and safe in their own territory without the disruption of changing settings. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, ensure all doors and gates remain securely locked, and can easily crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. And of course, you get regular pup-dates.
“Emily was amazing! It was our first time since moving to LA last summer having a pet sitter and we were gone for almost two weeks but Emily was so kind and communicative and left us at ease knowing our baby was safe and happy while we were away sending photos and updates along the way! Would definitely hire again 🩷”

“Morgan was fantastic with our pets! He kept me well-informed, and asked how much contact and how many pictures I wanted while we were away. He was very communicative and so loving towards our animals. The house was in great shape, better than when we left. He was very respectful towards the animals, the house, everything. Our pets were calm and happy when we returned. I would absolutely book him again! Thank you Morgan!”

Christian was such a delight and so sweet to our silly little crew of pets. Our two cats and elderly dog are definitely a bit high-maintenance, but Christian handled every step of our embarrassingly long list of directions perfectly and with so much care. Also, I’m a major clean freak (have had issues with other Rovers in the past being messy) but I was so happy to come back to see that Christian was super considerate in that department too and kept things tidy. We’ll definitely book him again the next time we’re out of town!
Julia was amazing! She looked after our one year old golden retriever Clementine for three days. She gave us plenty of updates and responded quickly when we checked in. Clementine still has some of that puppy energy and excitement and Julia handled that so well. Clem loved her and we’ll definitely book again!

Genki is fantastic! He watched my two dogs while I went out of town and when I came back I was extremely impressed. My pups were happy and he left my place very clean! I never once worried because Genki would send photos and keep me updated on how my babies were doing. I hope to be a repeat client of his!

Margaret is a true ANGEL sent from heaven above. I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy for the first time but once I met her at our meet and greet I knew he was in the best hands and my nerves were gone. She also handled an unforeseen power outage at my apartment like an absolute champ while keeping my boy happy and healthy. I also came home to an apartment cleaner than I left it! I’m so happy to have found her, I know my boy will always be in good hands when he’s with her! Thank you SO much Margaret, ralphie misses you already ;)

We so appreciate Tierney watching Stanley while we were away for a week! She kept him active in the heat with walks earlier in the day, stayed in touch with us, and adapted to his schedule. Our flights home got majorly messed up and we are so grateful that she was able to be flexible to make sure he got walks he needed while we made our way back. Thank you!!

Val was so caring, thoughtful, and resourceful with my anxious dog, Lucy. I really appreciated how communicative Val was, and how much time and energy she put into figuring out ways to put Lucy at ease. I would be eager to hire Val again and highly recommend her!
Nika was unbelievably great. She took such good care of Charlotte and sent me tons of great photos throughout my trip. She is professional and a phenomenal communicator and never for a second did I not feel like Charlotte and my home weren’t extremely well taken care of. I came home to a sparkling clean apartment and it would appear that Charlotte had the best week of her life. I’ll definitely be using Nika again.
