“The sitting with our cat went perfectly! IULIIA was very attentive, gentle, and caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our kitty were in good hands. We’d be happy to book with IULIIA again! 🔥”
“Daniela was great with our puppy and our senior dog as well as multiple cats and birds when she house sat for us. We got lots of pictures and updates and could see the progress she was making in teaching the puppy to heel on walks. She went above and beyond to keep things organized and clean, which is not easy in our chaotic household. She even got our most timid cat to come out of hiding for treats. We’ll be booking Daniela for our next trip if at all possible.”
About: my lifelong experience sets me apart from other sitters because my family would always positively recommend me to their friends. I am experienced with foster animals and pet sitting through years of helping a shelter worker and caring for her dogs. I’m attentive, reliable, and love working with all kinds of pets. I am currently working parttime as a preschool teacher but i am available on weekdays after 12. Mornings during the weekday are my only busy period. the care for pets varies depending on owners request. In the past, I have always followed clients requested bathroom and feeding schedules. if you have any questions, feel free to message or call me.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs, basic training, and keeping routines consistent so your pet stays happy and stress free I’m available Thursday through Sunday with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining your dog’s routine, including feeding times, walks, and play, so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every dog in my care. I do have friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, so if your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have great companionship and supervised playtime. If your dog prefers space or requires separation, I can easily accommodate that and ensure they have a secure environment. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions, including crating if needed, to match your dog’s routine and your preferences.
“Kim did a great job watching my baby. He is super shy and she handled it perfectly. She was trustful and communicative. Would definitely use her again either for sitting or walks or anything! Thank you Kim!!✨✨⭐️💫”
“Came in clutch last minute and was so patient with the fact that I couldn’t give her a full break down of my dogs schedule because of how fast paced the day was. Was so good at just taking charge and taking care of my baby. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: Since high school, I have taken care of my family and friends' homes and beloved pets, and I can't want to take care of yours! This has added up to 10 years of experience working with all kinds of dogs, big and small. I love house sitting and meeting new furry friends. I can't wait to meet yours! I am currently a student at California State University, Northridge, but I have a generally flexible schedule. Because I take night classes, I am able to take your pet out on a walk and feed them in the morning and have plenty of time during the day to let them out and do a nighttime feeding before heading off to class for the night! I always take time to write down what your schedule and routine with your pet is and figure out how best to match my schedule to accommodate. I always take extra time to play with your pets and make walks and active time a priority.
“Farrah was really great! She stayed at our house for a week with our dog and did an amazing job. She sent lots of updates and was always very reachable whenever we checked in, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also kind enough to come by a few days before we left to do a walk-through of the house and meet our dog, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy dog and a house left in great condition. We truly appreciated having someone so trustworthy and reliable caring for both our home and our dog. We would absolutely recommend Farrah and would love to work with her again.”
“Went above and beyond to make sure that I felt comfortable, followed all directions and was very attentive and very flexible. Will definitely use her anytime. I’m in vegas thank you so much Cyndi .”
“Brittney was great! We were able to enjoy our vacation with updates and lots of pictures! We came home to happy puppies and a clean house. Definitely would book again!!! Meister and Tuaca loved her too!!!”
“Anna is the most professional and communicative sitter we have ever had. She was thoughtful and made a point to keep us filled in on how our pups were doing every day we were away. She went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I grew up with 3-4 dogs in my house at all times. I love being with animals especially dogs and being able to provide the care that they need. I am able to connect with dogs on a level that they feel most comfortable as well. Now that I am done with school, I would love to provide for dogs that need some love while their parents are away. I love being around dogs and making them feel loved. I am able and willing to take care of your dogs however you need me to. If I need to walk them, play with them, take care of them, ect., I would provide a great service of love and attention.
“This is our second time using Emily and she is just fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough, she is so caring and thoughtful and provides such excellent care for our fur baby. She sends daily updates and pictures and also took great care of the house since we had her stay at the house for the duration of our vacation as well. Highly trustworthy and responsible, we would continue to use her again every time!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12+ years for family & friends, which has included walks, feedings & overnight stays. The dogs have ranged from 2 years to those in their more senior years of 8+, and who at times needed meds. I have a pretty flexible schedule these days so excited to be able to do overnight stays, walks and drop-ins as needed 😊If you still have questions about my availbility please feel free to ask. I make sure to understand where I should enter the household, where all my paw friend's things are, including food, bowls, leash, doggy bed, snacks, meds and so on. I also make sure to ask where & how often they need to relieve themsevles. And of course what is most important to them about their environment like where they like to sunbathe, nap and walk.
“Molly was incredibly flexible & willing to work with us to make sure our 7 month old puppy was adequately cared for while we were in and out over the long weekend. She was attentive to our pup’s needs, and provided care as if our pup was one of her own!”
“Sanaz took care of our two dogs with so much care while staying at our house. She also watched over our bearded dragon and three leopard geckos, making sure their lights were on and off when they were supposed to be and their water topped up. I would have her in our home again! I felt very safe with her care and attention to all. Thank you, Sanaz!”

It was such a joy to have Geena pet/house sit for us! We had to leave for a week for a family memorial service and couldn't have been happier with her care for our dog and cat (and python)! She really went above and beyond to give our pets plenty of love, play, and attention, and was great about giving plenty of updates. Love that she was super transparent about all our pets' behavior while we were gone, letting us know when they ate or didn't eat, how our dog was on walks, etc. Above all, you can tell she really loves animals, and we'd be more than happy to have her watch our babies again in the future!
This is our second time using Emily and she is just fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough, she is so caring and thoughtful and provides such excellent care for our fur baby. She sends daily updates and pictures and also took great care of the house since we had her stay at the house for the duration of our vacation as well. Highly trustworthy and responsible, we would continue to use her again every time!
I highly recommend Luke to take care of your furry family. Our dog is wary of strange men at the outset but she warmed up to Luke very quickly. This was our first vacation away from her since we rescued her so we weren't sure how she'd handle the change in caretakers but she did better than I expected. Luke was responsive and sent daily pics and updates. He was also great at watching our house for us while we were out of town. Thanks Luke!
Daniela is truly as good as it gets. The amount of communication was incredible and for the first time ever, we came home to no accidents (or on purposes). She was beyond professional loving and caring. Never had anyone on Rover come close to this kind of care.
Gabriella was absolutely amazing at taking care of my Amstaff. I was away for the holidays for a couple of weeks, and very anxious, but Gabriella helped to ease that worry. She gave me daily updates, followed instructions, and played with Saint (my dog) every night! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future

Joycelyn is awesome! She took wonderful care of our pup Shiloh. She’s exceptionally warm, accommodating and kind, and that made all the difference with our baby. We have a lot of unique instructions to take care of our dog because he does have some behavior issues and she handled it perfectly. 10 out of 10, 100% recommend and we will absolutely be hiring her again!
Mary Kate was great! Super sweet during the meet and greet, my dogs loved her then and even more so when she played with them while we were gone. My husband and I knew they were in good hands, especially with the daily picture updates. I would absolutely book with Mary Kate again!
Nancy showed incredible care for my Great Dane Ziggy. She sent timely pictures and updates throughout her stay and left the space exactly how she found it. I felt like I left my pet with family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for peace of mind when they can’t take their pup with them
Candice! What a dream care taker for Buster! She was so loving, caring, attentive, playful, and good at creative problem solving. She wanted to get him out (he’s not much of a walker), so she put him in a wagon and took him on a neighborhood adventure. He loved her and loved playing with her. If she is available during the time you need help, book her as quickly as you can. 10 out of 10!
