“Its hard for me to leave my elderly cat, especially for an extended period of time. I had a crazy beginning of my trip and it was so nice to know my cats care was one less thing to stress. I loved getting the photos and break down of how each day was for her. It was awesome to know how you guys took the time to spend time with her and give her love, even went out of your way to clean up my place for me to get back too. Thank you for being so communicative and thoughtful!”
“If you’re searching for a sitter and looking at reviews, stop looking - Caleb and Sara are the ones you’re looking for! They are thoughtful, always keeping you posted with pics and videos, they provide love and attention to your pets and your home. Clean, organized, excellent communication everything you are looking for in a sitter. My cat Boujee loves them!!!👏🏼👌🏼🙏🏻🥰”
About: Since I was born, I’ve owned dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, and even taught them to speak to me! I come from a long line of animal lovers. I currently work remotely from home. My 21 year-old daughter lives with me at home 24/7 and is an animal whisperer. The dogs will always have walks and there is a park nearby. I have a fenced yard with chickens in a coop. I have three indoor loving cats, that think they are dogs and play fetch, who loved their bellies rubbed. I have a crate if your dog needs special care. I also have no problem, keeping the cats in a closed room away from any dogs with any special concerns.
“We were so anxious about leaving our cat alone for an extended period of time especially since she is shy but Shannon was amazing! She reassured us before our trip, during, and after. We received daily report cards and pictures of our baby which constantly put us at ease. We felt relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire trip knowing our fur baby was in good hands with Shannon. We will definitely be booking again with Shannon for our future trips!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I’ve owned mostly larger dogs but have had small dogs as well. I know how to bathe, train, teach them how to swim and much more. I’ve trained my dogs and family members dogs my whole life and would love to help you with yours. Im currently not working but would love to play with your dogs any hour of the day or even bathe them if needed! I have so much free time everyday! We live on a 4 acre property and there’s is plenty of room for playing with the ball, swimming in the pool or even the pond.

“Laura is a treasure! She took care of our 2 cats in a loving and caring way, spent quality time with them each day, and made sure they got their medication and treats on a steady schedule. She also took care of our chickens feeding and egg collecting, as well as giving our hens some time to roam the yard each day. She communicated with us every day, sent photos regularly, and was very responsive to our messages. She has a calm demeanor, and was very attentive to our pets needs.

About: 💛 Hi, I’m Lisa—a lifelong animal lover based in Murrieta, California who treats every furry friend like family. 🐾 To make sure I can provide the best possible care and attention, I kindly ask for at least 12 hours’ notice when booking walks or visits. This helps me plan my schedule and be fully present for your pet’s needs. While I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests, advanced booking is always appreciated for a smooth and stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

With 33 years of experience caring for rescue animals—and 19 years in this community—I bring both heart and reliability to every visit. My love for animals started when I was just a little girl—sneaking extra cuddles, earning trust (and the occasional gift!) from rescues and fur clients, and learning early on that animals speak straight to the heart. That bond never left me, and it’s the same love and devotion I bring to every pet I care for today. As an Empath, I intuitively connect with animals, offering comfort, calm, and consistency—especially when you’re away.

With a fresh background check, Pet CPR & First Aid training, and nearly 20 years in this community, I'm honored to now be supporting local families and their beloved pets with heart-centered care. I specialize in senior pets and overnight care, and always treat each animal as my own. You’ll get real-time updates and sweet pics while I keep your pet happy, safe, and loved. I respond quickly and care deeply—reach out today with questions or for a meet & greet-and let’s make your time away worry-free. 🐾🐶 P.S. I have plenty of availability for you!
