“Rachelle did a great job with our senior cat (14+). She was accommodating, flexible and communicative throughout the process and worked with us at every stage over 4 days. Highly recommended.”
“Amanda is such a great sitter she has dropped in for our four kitties for the last few years and recently started dropping in for our pups they adore her. We are very happy to have met Amanda. We will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Shannon was great with my cats! They were well cared for, even managed to medicate the one under the bed twice in four days, which I call an accomplishment! The pictures were an awesome help, as my kiddos were very sad to leave the cats behind. They were excited to see them each day ? Thank you so much, Shannon!”
“Denise did a wonderful job caring for our kitty, Buster, with drop in visits over 3 days. Denise managed to get Buster to drink his water. Denise even cleaned up a little "fur-ball" accident. Buster seemed very happy. I will definitely use Denise again!”
“Although this was a short booking (only 2 visits) I was very impressed with Amy. She has a very warm and caring personality and our Buster took to her immediately! She left thorough reports for each visit. I could tell that she enjoyed taking care of and spending time with Buster. We will definitely be booking Amy for future trips!”
“Gracie was wonderful with our puppy and did an amazing job with drop-in care. She was always reliable, kept us updated, and clearly cared a lot about our pup. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, but I've been training dogs for the past 3 years. I have done pet sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, and dog training. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to take care of dogs at any time of the day. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I also can easily crate a dog if needed, and have an x-pen available for smaller dogs if they need to be contained, but with more space.
About: Hello, Thank you for stopping by my page. I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy being around them. I do have a little experience in working with animals as I would take care of my families pets and they trusted them with me every time. I was a teacher and worked with children in a variety of capacities, so I have passed one of the strictest background checks. I have an Associate degree in early childhood hood education and worked with kids for 7+ years. I am a wife and a mom of 2 boys. I have a 7 year old son and a 2 year old son. I enjoy being a mother and a wife. I don’t have much work experience with animals as I do with children but you can trust that I would care for your animals as I would a child. They would be in safe hands and well taken care of. Thank you for visiting my page and I hope you could trust me to look after your pets. I’m currently home while my little ones are in school so I would do this part time. I would be able from 9am to 3pm when I’m kids get out of school. I have a patio for smaller dogs but not a yard for bigger dogs. I would take the bigger dogs as well as the smaller dogs on multiple walks so they have a chance to be outside. If too hot I will have the pets inside with me with AC on as well as offer water often.
“Pricilla took amazing care of our grumpy senior dog! He is very selective about who he likes and he started to greet her with a wagging tail each time :) Priscilla went above and beyond to take care of both our house and pet and gave very detailed updates. Highly recommend her services!!”
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 22 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.
About: As an owner of four eccentric cats, it's safe to say I love the company of animals. Growing up, it was my dream to have a pet to love and take care of, and I was always the first to volunteer when family members would ask for someone to watch their dog or cat. This remains true even now, with years of experience caring for the animals of friends, family, and colleagues, as well as volunteer work at an animal sanctuary and providing palliative animal care. I have a flexible schedule I am comfortable with the vast and varied demeanors and needs of four-legged friends. I cherish any opportunity to provide specialized and individual care that accommodates those differences. From one animal to several, from short walks to extended sitting, I am enthusiastic to help however possible. I work from home, which means my schedule is flexible and I am available Monday through Sunday. Whether it is a short check-in or prolonged stay, I can ensure your furry friends will have no shortage of love and attention throughout their day. I would love to know any special accommodations, medications, or behaviors of concern to make your fur baby feel as comfortable and safe with me as possible. This includes respect and commitment to maintaining a clean and secure environment for your pets. Much like my own animals, my approach is one of unconditional patience and compassion for every pet. I focus on approaching every pet with consideration for their individual needs and energy levels. I will defer to you for communication preferences, and am open to sending updates as frequently as desired.
“Our pup is very particular about who he likes and interacts with. After just meeting Laura once they were close buds. Usually when we are out of town he doesnt eat well bc he is nervous. But with Laura caring for him, he ate every meal! We will definitely be using her again..and again!!!”
“Visit went wonderful with Vanessa! She is very professional, friendly and very patient, with me and Oreo. I can't thank her enough for helping me out. Thank you so much Vanessa you deserve a 10+”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I actively have two of my own dogs at home a German Shepard and husky/pitbull mix. I’ve trained my service dog on my own who has now been serviced for 5 years. I love all animals and I’m very open on my schedule. Im currently working part time for horse shows down in Del Mar. they’re about once a month so leaves my schedule very much open! I’m free for u n ur furbabies anytime ! I’m more than happy to travel to you guys to watch over ur pets! I have two dogs and cats at home. I would also love to take ur pups out for a walk to the park.
“Thank you Kairo for taking care of Lily and sending pictures of the visit. Obviously your visit was her highlight of the day. Looking forward to booking you again when I have to go out of town.”

Although this was a short booking (only 2 visits) I was very impressed with Amy. She has a very warm and caring personality and our Buster took to her immediately! She left thorough reports for each visit. I could tell that she enjoyed taking care of and spending time with Buster. We will definitely be booking Amy for future trips!
I seriously cannot recommend Allison enough! She watched my two cats while we were away, and as a cat mom with very skittish cats, I was honestly nervous leaving them. My girl cat also needed medicine during the stay, and Allison handled everything so perfectly and carefully. What meant the most to me was that BOTH of my cats actually came up to her both days she watched them! which literally never happens with new people. It was such a huge relief and says everything about how calm, patient, and kind she is with animals. She was also incredibly flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and genuinely caring the entire time. I felt so reassured knowing my cats were comfortable with her and being so well taken care of. I would absolutely trust Allison to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, sweet, and amazing with pets🤍
This is the second time using Laura and she was just as wonderful as the first. She made drop in visits this booking and we were just as pleased as when she stayed overnight. We love that our very shy and cautious guy has already taken to trusting Laura, that is enough for us to know she is amazing. Laura sent us pictures on every and always responded very quickly to our texts. We love Laura, but more importantly our kitties love Laura.
Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats for 8 days. They both are shy and do not come out for strangers. She came twice a day to check on them made sure they had fresh food and water. Cleaned the litter box and updated me on any odd behavior. I will definitely hire her again on my next time away from home.
