“My fiancé and I are so happy we found Bennie and Jennie to watch our 2 cats. We were impressed by their professionalism and their excellent communication. They gave us priceless peace of mind while we were on an overseas trip. When we returned, our home was spotless and our kitties happy. We would love for them to sit again anytime.”


“We highly recommend Sarah!!! She and her husband were amazing and patient with our very needy dog. Sarah is very responsible and reliable sitter. We can tell that our dog was well cared for and loved. She also sent updates and a lot of photos and videos which we really appreciated. Thank you again! =)”



“Michelle was great on communication, so sweet, sent photos, kept in touch, listened to instructions, has a great space for dogs to run. I couldn’t be happier with how her sitting my dog went. I highly recommend Michelle.”


“Don is a gift to my Fellow. I have a spirited 2 year old Airedale, Fellow, and Don's updates and photos are so appreciated. I have rebooked with him several times and will continue. Thank you for taking such great care of Fellow!!”


“Alexander arrived on time and he was great re-meeting JoJo and making him comfortable. Alexander sent multiple updates on their day and JoJo had a great time. Will definitely have Alexander over again to watch JoJo when I have to leave for long appointments.”


“Jane was absolutely lovely! This was my first time hiring anyone to watch my babies and I felt so confident in Jane to take care of them. From start to finish the process was extremely smooth, especially for my last minute booking. My animals, home, and mind were all taken care of while I went out of state! I appreciate you so much Jane!”


“Elizabeth was amazing with Bella, she helped blow her energy and keep her company on a night we were out. Bella had an upset stomach and needed to be taken out in the middle of the night. Elizabeth was very accommodating and took away all worries we had as we were out for the evening. Great sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her for future visits!”


“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Jingying! She took amazing care of our two puppies, Raina and Emma, while we were away for 10 days. Raina, our older girl, needs extra attention and daily medication, and Jingying handled her care with such patience, compassion, and attentiveness. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Emma, our younger pup, is full of energy, and Jingying made sure she had plenty of playtime and love too. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we came home, both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Jingying is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”



“Lilah was a superb sitter. She totally bailed me out when about to depart on an international trip and my normal sitter got sick. She was super responsive on both rover and via text. While gone, she sent me regular updates and pictures/videos of my puppies. She also did a great job working through some bad behavior from my puppy. A great asset anytime you have to leave home.”


“Joy took good care of our pup while we were away. She was friendly, respectful and responsive. Also provided updates and photos which kept us at ease knowing our boy was doing well. Would love to have her back again!”


“Sabrina is a thoughtful, kind & resourceful sitter. She spent 5 days at our place taking really good care of our boy Beau. We got texts & photos. I think Beau fell in love with her. In the future if need be, we’d be very happy having Sabrina sit with our Beau. Thanks Sabrina!”


“Brayli looked after my 4 year old anxious Cockapoo Oscar for a couple of nights at our house while we were out of town. She did a wonderful job taking care of him and making sure his routine was followed as closely as possible. Highly recommended.”


“Serena was great! Thank you so much for staying with my fur babies. The house looked great, and the dogs appeared well cared for. She brought toys, and sent me lots of pictures, and even filled my outdoor bird feeder! Love that she loved ALL my creatures. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Brynn was amazing, I felt confident in her abilities to take care of our pups. Super communicative, really took the time to understand all care instructions! I feel like she left our place cleaner than we left it.”


About: Animals have an incredible ability to ease the tension they sense in the ones they love, so in turn I would like to provide a sense of safety and love with each encounter with your pet. Your chosen family is often stronger than the one you are born into, and these animals that we have taken into our homes and hearts show it clearly and consistently. I have worked in an animal hospital for about 2 1/2 years and in my time I learned many tools to create a safe and welcoming environment. I can trim nails, clean ears, brush out matts comfortably and give sanitary haircuts. I was trained to give thorough baths to make pets squeaky clean! I can also administer medication and have taken care of pets who are getting up there in years. I have experience watching 20-30 dogs in a group setting and can walk up to 7 dogs comfortably at a time. I have basic dog training knowledge and I am familiar with animal behavior and how to deescalate potential dangerous situations and soothe an anxious animal. I will soon be going back to school and have a part-time job so my schedule is flexible. I am looking to add walking pet sitting and bathing back into my routine. Written instructions on specifics on how to care for your pets are helpful in making sure your standards of care are being met. Trust is a need not a want when it come to animals, some need easing into meeting a new person and some are all in on the initial meeting, whatever the case forcing a connection is the best way to destroy it. Taking time to bond is something essential to animal caregiving.

“Keeley did an amazing job with my dog Honey! She is very friendly, respectful, and super sweet. Keely came over to house sit, took Honey out for potty breaks, and a walk. Honey has epilepsy so it’s nice to have someone there with him when I’m out for an extended period of time incase of an emergency. I will definitely be rebooking with Keeley!”


About: I’ve been sitting for animals for years and love it. Also dog walking as well. I’ve never met a pet I didn’t like or did not get along with. My family loves when I board dogs and they get to meet a new friend. My children love animals just as much as I do. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and I have a lot of availability. I’m also available for last minute walks or sittings. Your pet is in very good hands when I’m taking care of them. I love to take dogs on walks by the beach and know all the best dog parks. Animals are totally my passion and I love working with them and being able to spend time with so many. I work from home and have a very available schedule. I can pick up and drop off if needed and take your pet to the vet or any grooming appointment. My home is very pet friendly. Pets are allowed to roam and allowed on furniture..I recently moved to an apartment..and have a balcony with a potty area..but take the dogs out often. We go on walks throughout the day as well.

About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. In college, my roommate brought her dog in, and when she was away, I treated her dog as my own. I walked, fed, and played with her. I have a lot of experience taking care of them. I currently volunteer at the OC Animal Shelter in the kitten nursery and took a dog 101 course. No matter what type of pet you have, I would love to care for them. I'm free after 5 pm Monday-Thursday and Friday after 2 pm. Saturday and Sunday, I'm free most mornings, and I will always be free after 1 pm. I respond quickly and send however many updates/pictures you want. I will always keep an eye on your pet, even if they are in an enclosed environment. I will follow any instruction/schedule to the tee. Even though I'm energetic, if your pet wants a calm night, I will be able to provide it. My main priority is making sure your pet feels safe and loved.

“As always, Halley was amazing watching our pup and kitty. She responded last minute to our request. And not only did she care for our fur babies, she also went out of her way to untangle a mess of necklaces on our table. Saved us hours :) Thanks again Halley!”
