“Zoe has been wonderful with our pups - rearranged her schedule for us and taken great care of them. They’ve been exhausted every night !! Thanks so much Zoe”




2. Kristina B.


“Kristina truly went above and beyond when watching my dog while I was away. She recorded videos of every check in and walk, she sent updates on how he was doing and any possible concerns at the house, and she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable during this crazy heat wave. I really appreciate her diligence and will definitely book again!”

About: I have owned a cocker spaniel named Buddy all my life until he passed, currently own another cocker spaniel named Felix and he’s a rescue from South Korea. I am an Information Systems major at UC Riverside and I do Rover as a side hustle, I would be beyond grateful for your booking and to spend time with your pet! I am a natural when it comes to meeting new pets and I enjoy spending time with animals because it’s my form of therapy. Dogs instantly feel comfortable in my presence and it doesn’t take long for us to be the best of buddies! I take my dog Felix on regular walks whenever I can. When it comes to clients’ pets, I treat them like my own and care for them as much as I possibly can. Spending time with dogs is important to me and one of my favorite things to do in my free time.


4. April S.


“April is awesome!! I was very nervous to leave my pets as one cat is very shy. But not with her! She also managed around a difficult household member. Right away my kitties took to her and I had peace my entire time away. I will definitely be using her services again!!”

I would highly recommended Douglas for his services and I will be happy to have him watch my pet any time.”


6. Alyson G.

“Alyson watched my cat when I was out of town for a long weekend and was great! Teddy was happy and well fed when I came home. The process was seamless and Alyson clearly knew what she was doing given she has cats of her own. She also sent great pics of Teddy which helped me missing him!”


7. Jess N.

“Sam is an exceptional dogsitter! She has taken care of my dog both at my home and at hers, and my dog is always thrilled to see her. Sam goes above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures and ensuring Hoppy is comfortable and happy. Hoppy will definitely be staying with her again.”


9. Casey P.

“We booked Casey to feed and spend time with our dogs while we were away. We didn’t get to meet her in advance, so we sent her detailed instructions, and she followed them perfectly. She even noticed that our continuous dog water bowl (that’s not in a noticeable place) was empty, refilled it, and reconnected it, so that it was working again. We also received great pictures and communication while she was with our dogs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Casey!”

“Heather was great! She sent great updates, worked well with our excited pups, and was very communicative. Will definitely use her services again.”


12. Alexandra M.
“Alexandra is a fantastic and reliable caretaker for all animals. I have known Alexandra for 6 years and she has worked with animals of every size both personally and professionally as a zookeeper. Alexandra and I interned together taking care of exotic cats such as tigers, leopards, and jaguars. She was an amazing caretaker of those exotic animals, so I knew she'd be a great petsitter as well. She has looked after my own cat and dog many times, always sending lots of great photos and updates. I highly recommend her to look after your pets!”


13. Elena H.

“Elena was great. Professional, prompt, personable and she loves dogs! My pup was happy and healthy with her care. We'll book several times again in the next few months.”

16. Valerie P.

“Valerie was amazing! She responded not 5 minutes after I opened a line of contact, for a very last minute puppy check in, and was communative throughout. She updated my pups pee breaks and cuddled and played with them, and posted adorable pics of them being so obviously loved by her. Would definitely trust her with my pups anytime and I will undoubtedly hire her in the future! Thank you so much Valerie!”

18. Samantha W.
About: I love animals and I have have taken care of dogs in the past as well as other animals and I am responsible and caring. I am a full time stay at home mom so I can take out your dogs as often as they need to or as much as you'd like me to take them out. At my apartment complex we have a lot of places to walk and a lot of grass fields as well as a area that is fenced in for them to run around off the leash! I have 2 children so they will always have a friend to play with as well as get loved on by me as well as them! You won't have to worry about your pups when they are with me ?


19. Pearline G.

“Pearline was awesome! She responded very promptly and took the time to drop in for a quick explanation. Thanks so much girl you’re a life saver!”


20. Iyanna J.
About: I had many kinds of pets growing up (dogs of various sizes, turtles, birds, fish, cats, etc) and so, I have a wide range of experience. As of late, I occasionally watch my neighbors dog when they travel and I also am able to make pet food from scratch (with natural ingredients like veggies and self-prepared meats)! So I can be sensitive to specific pet diets At the moment, I'm not getting scheduled for my job. So I have a lot more time. I have incredibly open availability and can do weekends or weekdays! Whatever works best for the owners! I would say I'm most available from 8am-5pm each day, for right now. I have a fenced in yard and an area in the living room where any pets can freely lounge or occupy. The floor in my home is also tile so, in the summer, it can keep any fur babies with more hair a lot cooler.
