“Kellar took great care of our pups (and house) while we were out of town! Kellar was great with updates and pictures, and was quick to check in when our old lady, Maggi, wasn’t eating (don’t worry, she was just holding out for the good stuff). Both pups were relaxed and happy when we got home - we would definitely ask Kellar to stay with Raffles and Maggi again!”
“Being the first time away from our shelter pup,we were very nervous about him - if he would be well taken care of, if he would have a good rapport with his sitter, and if our sitter would even work out. Steven was amazing and allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy was well taken care of. He established a good relationship with him before our vacation (it helped that we had several drop ins before so Ozzy would be familiar and comfortable with him - I highly recommend doing this for any new sitter) and was respectful of our home while we were away. Thank you Steven for taking such great care of Ozzy!”
“Bonnie took care of my kitties (again) for an entire week, took care of my home, left everything in great shape, and even stayed an extra day when needed. My kitties love having her around. Bonnie's the best.”
“Ben was absolutely awesome with our dogs. He stayed overnight with them while we were at a wedding. They loved him as soon as they met him and (we're told) were on their best behavior on walks! They won't even do that for us! I'd request Ben again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone.”
“Charlotte was so accommodating to our schedule and gave our new kitten and senior dog a lot of love! It was so nice to enjoy our vacation and know that they were being given so much love and attention. Our flight home was delayed a few times and Charlotte was able to stay later than anticipated to look after our babies. We appreciate her so much!!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience caring for small and large breeds alike. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I provide patient, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I can walk, bathe, and take them out for potty breaks, and I also have hands-on experience caring for a blind dog at home, which has strengthened my compassion and awareness. I look forward to caring for your furry friends! As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your fur babies the love and attention they deserve! I plan my classes to keep my days open, so I’m available for morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening cuddles, and everything in between. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and with open availability, I’m happy to work around you and your pup’s needs. I provide attentive, loving care whether I’m in your home or mine. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, following their usual routines for meals, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I can handle special needs, like caring for puppies, seniors, or pets with vision or mobility challenges. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that pets are family (I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bird and tortoise!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m currently a student at Claremont Grad University where I’m getting my teaching credential. My classes are online so I have flexible evenings. My weekends are generally available as well. I am very attentive of the animals in my care. I always strive to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals they’ve always been a big part of my life. From the time I was 11 to 17 I helped my aunt with her animal care business, which gave me lots of walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with dogs of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets too, and I always treat each one like they’re my own. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and a safe, happy environment. This is my second job! As I am a young adult trying to save up for my future so my schedule is very tight around my other jobs schedule as of right now. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I also follow any special instructions carefully, whether that’s giving medications, handling specific diets, or keeping up with training. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re part of my family while their owner is away.
About: I’ve always loved animals and had many family pets growing up. I have had experience caring for and walking dogs of various ages and temperaments. I can stay kind, patient, and conscientious every step of the way! I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt on the fly! Let me clear my mind and a bit of your to do list with a brisk or slow stroll with your four legged friend. I show respect to all species and will vow to take the safest and healthiest path each step of the way with your four legged family member. Open to suggestions and areas your pet may need extra attention or time on.
“Eldar was wonderful with my puppy Loki. My partner and I had a busy Saturday afternoon and needed someone to hang out with Loki and keep up with his puppy energy. Eldar came in and saved the day! He took such good care of Loki and his play area. Thanks so much, Eldar! ?”
About: I have years of experience working with dogs, along with caring for cats and other small animals. My time volunteering at an animal shelter helped me build calm, confident handling skills with a wide range of pets and personalities. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week for walks, check-ins, overnight care, and spending quality time with pets so they stay comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their environment. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and keep a clean, calm space while making sure pets get plenty of attention and care.
“Cheyenne was wonderful with our senior dog Sadie. I used rover for the first time for 5 nights over Christmas. I was a little nervous as it was the first time I’ve used it, but I felt like Cheyenne was absolutely committed to all of Sadie’s needs, her habits and her overall wellbeing. I quickly felt very confident that she was in great hands. She spoiled her quite a bit and was super communicative with us the entire time. Sadie had some stomach issues which is always worrisome when you are away but Cheyenne was on it. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their individual needs. I have experience with Brachycephalic Breeds that need extra attention with breathing and comfort. I also have also cared for large breeds such as Great Danes and Labradors. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I can administer medications including antibiotics and understand keeping pets on their normal routine. Having been raised with animals my whole life, I know how important it is to provide patient, loving, and dependable care while you're away.

My focus is on keeping pets happy, active and comfortable while owners are away. I will provide loving care for your pets in the comfort of your home. I follow your routines for feeding, walks, playtime and medication to make sure your pets feel safe and happy while you're away. I treat your home with respect and keep you updated with lots of videos and pictures so you can relax. knowing your pets are in good hands.
“Marx took great care of my senior citizen pup while I was away and communicated effectively when he had questions, or needing clarification. I also got sick while on my travels and Marx so graciously was able to stay another day so I could recover and enjoy the remainder of my trip. My dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. I would definitely use and recommend Marx again to others.”
“Wendy took such good care of my cats. I have a new kitten in addition to my two adult cats and she had to maneuver feeding them in 3 areas and spending time with each cat. They were happy and well cared for when I got home.”
“Our second booking with Letitia went just as great as the first! I felt like she really cared about our dogs and their health and safety. Our 2 dogs looked happy and comfortable around her and that says a lot for one of our dogs who is a lot more shy around new people. She also went above and beyond to entertain and keep the fur babies happy and she did things around the house before she left the last day that wasn't asked of her to do but is SO helpful after returning from a trip. I hope when we need a dog sitter again, she'll be available. Letitia is a great find!!”

Keller was truly wonderful with Pasha and Marie! I have such a hard time leaving my pets, especially because Pasha is older and has some health needs and medications, so I usually don’t feel like I have the freedom to go on trips without having so much anxiety about them. Keller really changed that for me. They were so kind, thoughtful, communicative, and attentive from the very beginning. They sent lots of updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions, and were so careful with Pasha’s routine, walks, meals, and medications. It was clear that they genuinely cared about both of my girls feeling comfortable, safe, and loved. Pasha and Marie both warmed up to Keller so quickly, which honestly says everything. Having someone I could actually trust with my fur babies made such a huge difference, and I’m so grateful we found them. I will absolutely continue using Keller to watch my fur babies and highly recommend them.
Marx took great care of my senior citizen pup while I was away and communicated effectively when he had questions, or needing clarification. I also got sick while on my travels and Marx so graciously was able to stay another day so I could recover and enjoy the remainder of my trip. My dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. I would definitely use and recommend Marx again to others.
Alyssa was AMAZING!! We loved her and our dog loved her! Our boy was genuinely depressed the next day when she wasn't there. She communicated with us throughout the day and provided pictures and video. We feel she went above and beyond what was asked. Thank you Alyssa!
We highly recommend Degan! This is the second time we've had her watch our cats. She takes great care of them and the house. She is reliable, diligent, and caring. When we return, our kitties are always happy. We can tell that she has given them lots of love and play time!
Myra was able to handle my crazy calicos and my chinchilla with no problem! I have yet to find a pet sitter who is so detailed, care oriented, and well versed in exotic pets. She even gave my cats a nice groom! My medium haired looks fluffier than ever :). As for my chinchilla, I usually have to sweat over the fact that people have never even seen one before. She knew exactly what to feed him, pet him, clean his cage, and he was the calmest I’ve ever see him post trip. Left the apartment and litter boxes immaculate! Will be booking again.
We recently had Charlotte stay in our home for four days to watch our dogs, and overall we had a positive experience. She’s a young college student, very sweet, and affordable, Our dogs were clearly well cared for and kept company all weekend. She sent daily pictures of the pups and when we got home, the dogs were happy and completely exhausted from all the attention and activity! The house was left clean, and she even made the bed before leaving, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, she’s a great sitter who kept our pups happy. 💕 We’d recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive in-home sitter that gives dogs lots of companionship.
Simply put LIANNA IS THE BEST!! I totally forgot to leave Lianna a review the first time she cared for my beloved pup for me but on both occasions she has been exceptional. She is so accommodating, responsive, responsible and trustworthy. My dog adores her and it’s clear to see from the videos she takes for me. I feel so lucky to have found Lianna, you couldn’t ask for a better sitter. If you’re reading this, look no further and just do yourself a favor and hire Lianna!
I can’t say enough good things about Victoria! This was my second time booking her, and she once again took exceptional care of my pups during a challenging time for us. Just a couple weeks before our scheduled pet sitting, our house flooded, and Victoria was incredibly flexible in accommodating us. She had to watch the dogs at a nearby hotel and kept me updated with adorable pictures of their walks and all the fun they had together. Her dedication and love for animals are evident, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I will definitely continue to book with Victoria for all our future pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!
Kayla was phenomenal. The moment she met the pups her eyes lit up and I had a great feeling. She checked in many times with photos, she walked the dogs twice a day, and let me know if she needed to head out for a moment. She even watered my garden for me! She’s also just so pleasant. I highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out for future pet sitting needs.
Sophie was with Archie for the first time and only for 24 hours overnight. I think she did a good job with him, but she had some difficulty getting him to go for walks. He can be a bit stubborn and one has to let him know who is the boss. She administered his meds and adhered to his schedule well. I would have liked a bit more feedback from her or a photo or two about what she did to entertain him while we were away. I reached out to her a couple of times to see how her stay with him was going. However, her time with him was short. I'm sure if she were with him for a longer time, we would have had regular messages from her. All in all, we found Sophie to be a sweet young woman and would consider hiring her again. She also did a meet and greet visit with us a few days before her stay.
