Mallory is very conscientious and good with our cat and dog. She communicates really well and sends pictures. She lets us know when she's at our house and when she leaves. She also cleans, which is very appreciated. We highly recommend her.

Laura is a wonderful dog and house sitter. She is responsible and asks questions to understand our dogs' different needs. She communicates well with photos and updates. We can easily be away from home knowing she is there to tend to the needs of our two Cardigan Welsh Corgis and our home and land.

We really appreciate all the care that Lisbeth gave our boy during our absence. She was great in communication and sent us tons of photos and videos. If you need responsive and trustworthy care for your fur babies , you can trust Lisbeth 1000%. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ponchik.

Simply put, Valeriya was amazing. She exceeded all our expectations and we could not have imagined a better experience. Valeriya took care of our 8-year old Aussie Doodle Noodles, sitting for him in our home, taking care of our house as well, for a little more than a month. It was our first ever long duration trip leaving Noodles at home, and we were anxious to say the least. At the meet and greet, Valeriya suggested a series of "get-to-know Noodles" activities to ensure her arrival for the sit was well met and comfortable. She asked us to prepare thorough directions, including items we would not have thought to include without her tremendous input. During the stay, she communicated daily with us about Noodles, his activities, eating, general health and well being, providing photos and live videos of their time together. We had weekly video calls with her and Noodles. She contacted us whenever anything unexpected, however small, came up. But most importantly, her professional, courteous approach with us was matched only by her genuine affection and care for Noodles, who took to her immediately. The bond between Valeriya and Noodles reflected in her videos, her smiles, and his smiles and genuine enthusiasm for her and all their activities throughout her care for Noodles. We did not worry about his well-being for one second. Valeriya is the "Mary Poppins" of pet sitters -- we literally could not have conceived how perfect a fit she would be for Noodles and for us. She is invaluable, words cannot express our gratitude to her, or the affection she shared with Noodles throughout her extended stay with him in our home. We are looking forward to a long term relationship with her for all our pet sitting needs. She is, succinctly, beyond great -- she is the very best, and the standard for pet sitting should be based on every aspect of her service. With eternal gratitude to Valeriya, we remain over the top for her kind, courteous, loving care for Noodles and our home.

About: Dogs are truly a humans best friend.🥰We enjoy taking them for walks, (helps keep us in shape😁) playtime and just bonding with them. When we needed sitters for our pup years ago, we appreciated our sitter checking in with us. We feel communicating with our neighbors, gives us all peace of mind. So if it’s ok with you, we will send a picture, or video to assure you that your pup is safe and sound. We have more time now, to enjoy God’s creation and do things that bring us real joy. We absolutely love and appreciate the gift of life and enjoy caring for and bonding with all types of animals. Whether at the park, or at the beach, dogs tend to gravitate towards my husband and I. (They obviously feel our ‘love for dogs’ vibe.🥰) We have 4 grand pets we love dearly and look forward to their visits, but when they go home, we love on everyone else’s pets, lol. We decided to start pet sitting again part time, to help fill that void.🫠 We prefer sitting at your home, so your pet feels comfortable and less stressed while you’re away, but we also don’t mind entertaining them at our home for the day. If so, it would be helpful if they’re crate-trained, in case we have to step away for a little while. It is of upmost importance to us, to see that your pet is safe and happy under our care. We love to spoil and treat them as if they were our own, so beware, they tend to not want us to leave.🥰

About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I understand cat behaviors and have experience taking care of cats ranging from any age between three months old to 16 years old. As for dogs, I have experience caring for any small to medium-size dog, such as taking them on walks, playing with them, and preparing any meals for them. I am available Monday through Thursday from 6am to 1pm. For Friday through Sunday I am available all day. I am flexible and can accommodate if needed. I have two indoor female tabby cats. Their ages are 2 and 3. Their names are Felony and Menace. I have them strictly on a wet food diet however Menace has digestive issues so I add a small amount of pumpkin to both their wet food along with extra water. I try to get as much water into their diet as possible.

About: I’ve worked with animals almost my entire life from dogs and cats to horses, goats, and chickens. I worked teaching kids how to handle animals for many years. I have three dogs, two small elderly mutts and a 3 year old German Shepard/malinois. I’ve dog sat for family friends for up to 3 weeks at a time. I love working with animals and it’s been a passion of mine for years. I’m extremely flexible and can work with any schedule. I’m in college and do mostly online classes. I can conform to any set schedule your pets already on. My childhood dog has anxiety so I’m used to taking care of anxious, clingy, and high energy dogs. I have experience with a wide variety of cats as well. My main priority is your animal(s) comfort.

About: Hello! I am a dog mom to a senior pup and a trained “doggy day out” volunteer at the SPCA Monterey County animal shelter. I would love to help care for your furry sweethearts! I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I primarily work from home, which gives me flexibility during the week, and I have a lot of weekend availability for your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life; from dogs (Rottweilers, chihuahuas, corgi, malamute, papillon, dachshunds) to cats, parakeets, lizards, rodents, and fish. I’ve loved and cared for all of them. My friends and family know I love animals so much I’m their go to person to ask for pet sitting. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets in the hands of someone else and hope that person will care for them the way you expect and they deserve and I’d love to be that person for you! I’m free mostly weekdays but the weekends are flexible and open to discussion. I’m a morning person so I’m typically up around 6am so I’m able to accommodate early requests. Im a firm believer in routine. I want to make your pets comfortable especially around a new person or while you’re out of town. I want to do what I can to keep their routines similar to when you’re around, if you’re training I’d love to learn what I need to do to keep it consistent for them. If they like to be let out a specific time, then I want to be able to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible.

This was our first experience with Arlene and it was perfect. Doggies got to go on a road trip to escape the heat of our house. She kept us updated which was nice especially since we unknowingly picked the hottest weekend in a long to time to go away. We already have plans for future bookings.

Christine is the perfect match for our dog Henry. Christine understands dog reactivity and how to manage it when she takes Henry out. She also spent a lot of quiet time With Henry, which is something he really enjoys. Christine was very good at communications and providing updates about Henry. I think Christine would be an excellent care giver for any dog.
