“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”

“Lauren is the best! She communicated well and was thoughtful and caring during all of our interactions. Otis loved her immediately and I felt 100% comfortable knowing he was in her very capable hands. The house was just as we left it and Otis was happy and tired. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Natalia went above and beyond in caring for our dog while we were away for a week. She kept us updated with frequent photos and even a video, which reassured us that our pet was in good hands. Natalia's prompt communication and genuine care for our furry friend made our trip worry-free. We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a responsible and attentive pet sitter. She was awesome!”


“In addition to having large, rambunctious dogs that are not easy to wrangle, there was an additional, unexpected issue, which Angie dealt with by going above and beyond the expected scope of of services to take excellent care of the dogs. She sent daily updates and photos while I was out of town, so I knew she had things under control. The dogs had obviously gotten some great attention, based on the reception I got from them, which was welcoming without the anxiety the younger two can have when left alone too much. I highly recommend Angie.”


“Kendall took care of my 3 kitties and house sat while I was away for almost 2 weeks. The kitties were well taken care of and happy when I returned. She took the time to clean the house and do laundry so I returned to a clean home, always great after a long trip. She was very responsive and accommodating. Extremely friendly and kind to the kitties. Hopefully she'll be available the next time I need to leave them.”


“Michele responded quickly to my initial request. She came to my house to meet the cats and talk to me, which made me feel comfortable that they would be well taken care of. She sent me frequent pictures and videos, showing the cats playing and having a good time. I suspect they enjoyed their time with her more than the day to day they spend with me. She even informed me that one of my cats likes to participate in yoga. After 9 years, this was new information. When I came home the house was clean and cats were happy. I would highly recommend Michele.Hopefully she is available the next time I go out of town.”


“Caitlin stayed with our senior dog for a week over the Christmas holiday. She made time to meet our dog ahead of time and spent time with us getting to know our routines. She did an excellent job keeping us updated and sent lots of pictures. Our dog takes multiple medications and eye drops. Caitlin was able to handle all of them with no problems. Our house was very well taken care of and clean when we got back. I am looking forward to working with Caitlin in the future!”

About: I have an adorable cat who I love so very much where I live currently I can’t have a dog so I want to combine my love for taking walks with my love for dogs/animals. I work weekends, but my weekdays are free! I had a dog my entire life aside from moving to California I trained my German Shepherd and learned techniques for proper walking. I know how stressed animals get when they are alone they also are very aware of time so if they know someone is coming everyday at a certain time they are happier! I would be so honored to take care of your pets knowing how important a pet is in every family. I’m willing to help with grooming, For dogs and cats I’ve been giving my cat a bath since he was a baby and he actually enjoys it. Every animal is different I want to find out from you what works for you!

I work remotely from my laptop, so I am very flexible and can work from your home as long as there is reliable wifi. I generally make my own daily schedule so I can fit in feedings, walks, medications, etc with your pet's routine schedule. For house-sits, I always take thorough notes from the owners, and happily check in as often or seldom as requested to ensure the owners are comfortable with their pet's experience while they are away.

I’m a full time Development Director for a local marine science non-profit with a good work-from-home and dog friendly policy. Your pet would be my companion full time, if they are able to accompany me during meetings and time at the office. I can work from your home if there is high speed internet on a full time basis, as well. I have a crate at my home and my place where I live is fully fenced in and good for dogs. My car is set up for a dog, and I am vigilant about giving your pup plenty of exercise and keeping them fulfilled and cared for with a full time watchful eye.

Steve K.
“Highly recommend Steve for house and Dog/animal sitting! We had him scheduled for a 4 night stay which turned into a 2 week stay after a family emergency happened, as well as in that time our pup fell Ill and he stepped right up, took him to the vet appointments and made special food for him while cuddling him along the way. He is very responsive when you check in, he is very thorough when gathering information about your animals day to day and well being! 5 STARS from us on his service! xoxo Sonya, Patrick, pups Gooby, Lucy and sweet Tiko!”
