About: I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby home alone. One of the biggest concerns pet owners have is trust: Will my sitter be careful? Will my pet be safe and loved? That’s exactly what I offer—peace of mind. I’m dependable, no-nonsense, and I’ll treat your pet like family. I care for animals of all kinds, from yappers to deep howlers, shy cats to cuddle monsters, and even our little loves like guinea pigs and fish. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a game of fetch, or just quiet companionship, I’m there. And when it comes to feline royalty, I respect boundaries and give love on their terms. Services include: * Dog walking & playtime * Cat care & companionship * Feeding, medication, litter & cleanup * Daily check-ins or overnight stays * Lots of love, attention, and belly rubs Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a 35-year-old union plumber by trade and a lifelong animal lover with a heart full of care and compassion. I work from 6am to 2:30pm M-F I’m available to drop in anytime after 3pm during the week. Weekends are open. I don’t drink or smoke, and I take pet care seriously—your furry (or scaly, feathered, or hooved) family members will be treated like my own! I currently care for two beloved chihuahuas, including one senior pup who is deaf and requires daily medication, so I’m very experienced with elder pets and special needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from fish to steers and just about everything in between. Whether it’s walks, feeding, medication, playtime, or just good company, I offer dependable and loving care while you’re away.

“Monica is awesome. She always does such a good job looking in on Woodrow, my cat. He’s not always the friendliest to new people, but he’s warmed up to her and has a lot less anxiety when he sees me packing my suitcase now. :) He knows she’ll be there to give him his wet food, make sure his litter box is clean, and play with him if he feels like it. Highly recommend!”


“Francine did a great job taking care of my cat. She's a nervous kitty afraid of new people but Francine was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely book her again!”


“anjelica is organized and a thoughtful listener. anjelica integrated all of my special instructions for my furr baby beautifully and i could tell by the picture updates that my baby felt comfortable and had a wonderful time! i appreciate you!!!!”


“This is our first time using Rover Drop-in Home Visit option and initially was not reluctant in doing so for many reasons. Ms Katherine right away scheduled a meet up beforehand with us and Chewie, without even us asking for it, before finalising our needs. She right away bonded with Chewie at the same time made us more reluctant in choosing our service option. We are very very fortunate to have Ms. Katherine take care of one of our family member, Chewie. Ms. Katherine made sure our needs are met, and most specially Chewie’s needs and wants. She treated Chewie as her own, going above and beyond expectations. She also communicated as much to keep us updated. Even though we only chose the Drop-In Home service option, we would definitely make her our priority and first choice, if needed, to take care of Chewie both as drop-in visit, boarding, or other care needs. We appreciate Ms Katherine and most definitely pleasure to have found and meet her. We highly recommended Ms Katherine from our family.”

I am a professional house and pet sitter as my main source of income so I'm available to dedicate as much time as needed to your pets and furry family members. This is what I do! I watch pets and homes 24/7/365. Never hesitate to reach out for last minute needs or extended stays in your home with or without defined end dates. I do not host at my home but prefer to meet animals where they are most comfortable. I'm also very open to minor house cleaning and/repair requests if it is within my capacity.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, I’ve always loved taking care of them and currently my partner and I have two cats and an elderly dog. I have taken care of both cats and dogs with medical needs in the past, and am comfortable with medication admin for both. I love all animals and would love to hang out with yours!! I work 3 days a week so I’m available at all kinds of weird hours for walks or drop ins! Unfortunately I cannot board animals in my home at this time but am flexible and able to come to you. If I'm off work, I am typically free at all hours of the day. I’ll play with your kitties in the home and take your dogs on walks all over the neighborhood! I also am open to taking them to dog parks if that is something you are interested in. I will ensure that your pet is comfortable and safe always.


“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! We have used Claudia more than once and she is wonderful. Checks in all the time and takes pictures to let us know our kitties were doing well. Highly recommend Claudia and will be using her in the future if need be!!”


About: Calm, patient, and attentive to feline behavior. I respect their space, earn their trust, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free from anything. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I stay active, enjoy spending time with animals, and always make time to give them full attention and love. In my home or a client’s, I create a safe, calm, and clean environment. I follow routines closely, give constant attention, playtime, and always ensure pets feel loved, secure, and stress-free.

About: I have had cats, dogs and rodents since I was able to walk. I love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I currently have two cats, two rats and a leopard gecko. I am currently a student and I have plenty of time on my hands to take great care of any pet that you need! I attend school for a few hours a day and am free most of the time! I live in an apartment, but have no issues watching pets in your home! I could take in cats, but dogs might feel a bit cramped in my one bedroom apartment

About: Living in beautiful San Diego with my wife and son, I continue to provide exceptional care for pets, ensuring they feel at home while their owners are away. The approach is simple: shower pets with all the love and attention they need, just like we would with our own furry family members. What sets us apart is our family-oriented approach to pet sitting. With my wife and son as my partners in care, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets, making them feel like part of our family. Our goal is to provide a loving and comfortable experience for pets, giving them the attention and care they deserve. Together, we offer a unique blend of experience, compassion, and dedication that ensures pets are happy and content in our care. As a self-employed individual working from home, my daily and weekly routine is flexible, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care. I prioritize the well-being of our furry friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Pet care routine is woven seamlessly daily, with scheduled feeding and playtime. Balancing pet care with my responsibilities to my son, wife, and art is a top priority. I have structured the daily routine to accommodate the needs of the dogs while also allowing time for work and family activities. Whether it's taking breaks throughout the day for a quick walk or spending quality time with our pets in the evening, I make sure they are well cared for and feel like part of the family. In my home, pets are treated like family and have full access to our amazing yard. They can lounge in the sun, explore the garden, or play to their heart's content in our secure outdoor space. Inside, they have a cozy spot to rest and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. Routine is tailored to each dog's needs and may include regular feeding times, outdoor play sessions, and lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I aim to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for them. I make use of any outdoor space available, whether it's a backyard, patio, or garden, to ensure pets have the opportunity to get fresh air and exercise. Routine is customized based on each dog's needs and may include outdoor playtime and lots of interaction to keep them happy and engaged. We also ensure their indoor space is clean, cozy, and secure, so they feel right at home while their owners are away.

“Toni was fantastic with our Patches. During our meet and greet, Toni was very extremely pleasant. She asked the right questions about the visits and feeding our cat. Then during each visit while we were gone, Toni briefed me on the status of Patches and how she was doing and eating. Toni always made sure our patches was doing well before she left. I highly recommend Toni and will certainly use her again.”


About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.

“Wow Wendy was amazing my cats too to her right away! They hardly get along with strangers but somehow fell in love with Wendy lol would definitely recommend her for any drop ins or pet sitting!”


“Victoria is absolutely amazing!! My dogs took to her right away and she was really comfortable with my asks and how to take care of my pups. They can be a handful but she had no problems! We will definitely continue to have her as our sitter and highly recommend her!!”


About: My passion for animals directly reflects my ability to communicate and relate with your pet. I enjoy quality time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and enjoy their time with me! I have a very special connection with dogs and am also very patient and open to learning what is best for all animals! I am a night shift worker and am available for your pet all hours of the daytime! Perfect for getting the outdoor sunshine for your animals or midday attention they need indoors! I always respect owners policies and terms for handling their specific pets. I am very flexible and a quick learner. I will get along with your pet in no time! I can do basic house calls or long day hikes and play days at the park whatever you and your pet desire!

Annie A.
“If you need a pet sitter who is reliable, responsible and caring, you won't find a better person than Annie. Annie has cared for our 2 elderly Corgis for their entire lives when we travel, or are otherwise unable to be at home to meet their needs. One is on a special diet, and both take medication. I trust her 100% to feed and medicate them properly. She is also very alert to changes in their health status. Our dogs love her, and get excited when we say her name. We never worry when they are in her care. Annie is a dog lover herself, and she won't let you or your pets down.”
