“Jane was really great to communicate with throughout the process and was incredibly reliable. She took such good care of our cat! She sent photos and updated us on the stays. It gave us the peace or mind to have a vacation without worry.”

“Amy is amazing- the dogs love her.”

“Molly was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. She took great photos and fun (and detailed) notes that helped relieve some of our anxiety at being apart from our babies. I left a detailed to-do list for her as well and she followed it perfectly. We would certainly book with her again!”

Richard B.

“Just wanted to give a review on Christine. I worked with her on my last vacation and she is a wonderful care giver to my animals. Always on time and takes the extra effort to get things done..She would be a definite asset to your animal care needs.”

“Our dog Luna is normally very shy around new people but she absolutely loves Aditi! She went above and beyond to take care of her and always sent us the cutest pictures and videos with each visit. She is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. 10/10 highly recommend!”

Ryan C.

“Daniel and Bethany took wonderful care of our bunny. They were attentive and took extra care to make sure that she had a clean crate before we arrived home. Thank you so much for the great care!”

“Laura is amazing! She stepped in super last minute to take care of my boy when my friend flaked on me WHILE I was out of town. Laura is kind, trustworthy, and very patient. My dog is a bit on the shyer side and she seemed to know exactly what to do on how to gain his trust based on intuition and experience. I can’t recommend her enough and will be hiring her in the future. Thank you again, Laura! 🩷✨”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since the age of 7 and have been dog sitting since 16. I now am the proud owner of two lovely cats. I will always make sure to put the needs of your pet above all else. :) Excited to meet you and your pets! I am a recent graduate from LMU who is in the process of applying to jobs, so my schedule is very open to taking care of pets at all times of the day! Walks can be taken at any time of the day/night. I am also happy to hang indoors with your pet to make sure they’re comfy!

“We loved having Daisy watch our boy. She was super responsive and easy to communicate with. You can tell that she is a responsible human. She took the care to walk and feed G while we were out on New Year’s Eve!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.

“Esther watched our two kitties with super short notice. She stopped by to meet them and was very thorough for each check-in. Our two cats are rescues, so they have a lot of anxiety. They were very comfortable with her. We’d definitely hire her again.”

“I have requested Hannah to check on my cats several times now and she is always very responsive, timely, and just overall a nice person. She accepted my most recent request on very short notice which was very helpful. Thank you again Hannah!”

About: I grew up around animals (dogs, cats, horses, snakes) and worked at a doggy daycare for 5 years while in college. I walked dogs of all sizes and ages! I am a full-time pet parent, part-time technical recruiter, and forever animal lover! My weekday schedule is flexible, so I have lots of time to pamper your pooch! As someone who grew up around all kinds of animals from birth, I know how to take care of a lot of types of animals (from horses and snakes, to cats and dogs). When I worked at a doggy daycare, I walked dogs from 5 pounds to 150+ pounds.
