“Thank goodness we found Davalyn. We were worried we wouldn’t find anyone to replace our long term sitter due to our dog’s separation anxiety. Davalyn was happy to watch our dog in our home while we were out of town. Davalyn was detailed, communicative, trustworthy and kept the dog’s schedule. We came home to a happy dog and a well maintained house.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats. Even farm animals since I was 10 yrs old. I'm even going to college to be a veterinary technician. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have during the day plenty of time to play and work with your pups up until 3 pm. I have a huge fenced yard with two friendly pups to keep your babies company. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary needed.
About: I've had a dog in my house one way or another since high school. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and energetic. I can feed, water, walk, bathe and play with your best furry friend. Whatever your pet needs are, they will be met. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home everyday, all day minus an errand or two every week. I have more than enough time to give your pet the care and love that is needed while your away. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard, with two very loving, energetic dogs to play with. I can either let the dogs all play or keep them separate for whatever time is needed. I am rarely gone so supervision is always guaranteed.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my entire life. Since I was a baby, I’ve been around all sorts of animals. My love for animals has only gotten stronger since then. I like to learn all about them, and get better at caring for them. I do not have a job, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your furry companion! I am available almost throughout the entire day! I am able to house smaller animals in my home. Cats and small dogs will do just fine here, my dogs are friendly. If you are uncomfortable with having your small dog or cat near bigger dogs, then I have another place I can watch them at!
“My pets enjoyed having Candace coming over and she dud good stepping in when our other sitter has a family emergency. She even made friends with our one dog who does not like strangers.”

“Kaity did a great job as our housesitter and pet sitter. She sent frequent pictures of our animals and played with our dog. Our shy cat even came out of hiding for her! She watered all of my flowers outside, collected mail and packages, and left the house in great shape. We will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Kayla is amazingly caring and attentive not only to our precious pup, she took great care of our home while we were gone! Would highly recommend !! So grateful For her kindness and care!”

“Kimberly was responsive and communicative. My husband and I have not left Buddha overnight with someone he didn’t know and he did great. Kimberly made is all feel comfortable and my husband and I were able to enjoy a night away knowing our baby was in great hands. Definitely will be using Kimberly again.”


About: My background in veterinary medicine sets me apart from other sitters. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, including seniors, anxious pets, and pets who need medications or extra care. Providing a safe, calm, and loving environment is always my top priority! My husband and I own our own business, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pet consistent care, attention, and love throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home by sticking closely to their normal routine: feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications—while making sure they get plenty of attention and care.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Whether bathing or going for a walk I will make their needs my priority. Family members have entrusted me with their pets care for decades. I will do the same for your furry family. We would go for a walk in the morning after breakfast and play fetch after lunch. Potty breaks every 2 hours and scheduled play time. I have 1 friendly dog and 1 loveable cat. We do not have a fenced yard but we have tons of open spaces for running and playing. We would go for a walk in the morning after breakfast and play fetch after lunch. Potty breaks every 2 hours and scheduled play time.
“Kristi did a great job again! She always sends timely updates and pictures which helps me know my doggies are doing well. She also makes sure my home is perfectly clean when I come home. I really appreciate her!”


About: I grew up with 4 dogs, 3 cats, and a plethora of other pets (a snake, chickens, quails, and a hamster to name a few). And all this in the suburbs of Los Angeles! In high school I walked dogs before school and often did house sitting on the weekends and breaks. It was a good gig for a kid and now I’m getting back into it as a side hustle while I finish school. I love to get to know people’s cute pets! I’m in school and I work part time, but my schedule on both accounts is very flexible. I will squeeze you in morning, noon, or night! I also have extra availability during weekends and holidays. I’m responsible and integrity is of the utmost importance to me. When it comes to care for your animals, the client is king. I will follow any and all instructions EXACTLY. Attention to detail is my super power, especially if I am taking care of your furry friends while you are away! I aim to provide your pets with all the same spoiling and love that you do… and then some!
“Our dog seemed to love her. It is hard to review because the poor woman became sick right after coming to sit. Given the fact that she was sick the entire time, she was a trooper. We will have her back again.”

“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals (large and small) since I was about 7 years old. I grew up around farm animals and small pets. I love dogs and kitty’s! I have 1 1/2 years working as a Vet Assistant and have petsat for about 4 years now! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! I’m currently just working odd jobs as I will be moving away in a few months. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Reach out for any questions! I have administered medications, feed, water, as well as taken doggies on walks, playing with toys. I am able to meet the needs of every individual animal, whether your pet be lovey, need space, are energetic, or are couch potatoes!
“Nikki and Britney provided wonderful care for my two Golden Retrievers. I needed someone for a half a day, two days in a row. They arrived on-time, gave my boys lots of love, and sent lots of pics. The boys were very happy when I got home. I would highly recommend them to others.”

About: Raised on a farm, I grew up caring for animals. I consider myself the expert on puppy training. I will patiently and lovingly care for your pet of any age. I look forward to welcoming your loved one into my home. I am a full time provider, caring for your pet is my number one priority. I am available day or night seven days a week. My schedule will reflect any time off in advance. A sprawling spacious home on 5 acres of fenced yard. I love the outdoors and am excited to take your energetic pup outside to play or gently encourage an older pet to join me for a peaceful stroll. During inclement weather we can be active in the gym. I look farward to sharing my home with your loved one.
“Very pleased with Cailin's week spent with our 2 goldendoodles at our home. She tended to our many outdoor plants. The house was clean and welcoming when we walked in the door. Thank you, Cailin!”

“Cassie was an amazing sitter for my pup. She was incredibly kind when I had to change the booking due to one of my dogs passing and she handled my grieving pup extremely well. Lots of pictures with a lovely update everyday to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 100/10”
