Karollyne follows instructions super well & is genuinely caring for my cats. When it was too cold and I had my window open, she closed it so that my kitties will not catch a cold. It’s the small details that matter! I would definitely book with her again.

Carmen took great care of Yumi! I got a picture every time she visited and Yumi was happy to see her. She went above and beyond and I will gladly use her in the future.

Echo(Qiutong) was an incredible sitter for my pet, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive, reliable, and truly treated my pet as her own. Whether it was making sure my pet was fed on time, taking them on walks, or just giving them love and attention, Echo went above and beyond. I could tell my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible and caring, Echo is the perfect choice!

She is an amazing care taker for your pups! I love the way she is with my milo! He never goes with anyone but for some reason he is very attached and I can just drop him right off at her door steps and he will go! I’ve had her watch him for a week as I was on vacation and they grew a huge bond! She sends photos and always answers the phone when I wondered how my little guy was doing!

Sasha took care of my cat, Eevee, for me while we were away for two weeks (the longest we’ve ever been away from her!). This was our fourth time having her watch Eevee and she was fabulous as always! Eevee is a very anxious and wary cat but she gets along with Sasha so well and I love all of the photo and video updates I get from every visit! Sasha was even kind enough to help us out with some care for our plants and some housekeeping tasks since we were gone for a longer period than usual. Sasha is extremely friendly, communicative, helpful, and great with animals and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!

Wow Christine made this experience super easy for us. It was the first time leaving our furbaby with someone else, so we were super hesitant to do this, but Christine did an exceptional job taking care of our little guy for 10 days. I’m happy to say I would confidently leave our little Charlie with Christine again. Not only was she attentive to our pup, but she was amazing at communicating with us at any time of day. It made us feel a lot more comfortable knowing Charlie was in her care. Thank you for this really positive experience. Hopefully we can have you care for little Charlie in the future. You’re awesome!

Best sitter ever! The whole family loves dogs and every time my dog goes back he can’t wait to see them. He actually jumped out of the car the other day when he arrived he was so excited. Oh and he got to have his first swim in their pool! So accommodating with drop off and pick up times as well - super easy to work with and you can’t go wrong booking with her!

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

Amanda is the best. My golden retriever Duke is full of energy and not fond of many people. But whenever he sees Amanda he gets so excited and runs to her. She really knows how to make him feel loved and me feel safe about him being in good hands.

I truly recommend Amberlee as a pet caregiver. Starting off with being a pet owner herself, she has been an outstanding companion to our family dog, Buddy. Amberlee shows much compassion to animals in general but tends to take it a step further in caring for animals as she understands pets are family members. I truly recommend her for her kindness, compassion, attentiveness, understanding, and selflessness.
