“Denise was so quick at responding and made us feel so comfortable leaving lola in her care while we attended a wedding. Lola had a great walk and we received plenty of photos of their time together. Really appreciate you Denise, cant wait to rebook with you!”
“Thank you so much Megan for helping with our two cats. We had never left the baby alone and he was quite the terror, but you were super professional and took care of all of their needs regardless.”
“Berto did a terrific job watching my cat Manny. He is reliable and has a warm demeanor that made Manny comfortable enough to not hide under the bed like he usually does with visitors. That’s an impressive achievement. Berto was communicative and shared great photos and a video of Manny from his visits. I highly recommend Berto for your pet.”
About: I’ve had dogs around my whole life. From big labs and golden retrievers to a small cocker spaniel and bulldogs. It was a blessing to take care of them over the years. I’m currently a college student, I have a bunch of availability. On Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs: around 2 to 8pm. On fri-sun: open availability until 8. I will care for your pets in your home how you have as instructed perfectly. I believe routines are very important for our fur babies!
“Monica is a great sitter and animal lover, she's good at following instructions and was great with my kitties while I was away. Tallulah responded well to Monica and enjoyed her visits, Precious is always shy, but eventually got used to her visits. Communication was mostly great, but could be improved. I arranged an emergency sitter for one visit due to a lack of communication/slow response. Overall, Monica was a reliable sitter and the cats would be happy to see her again. I would recommend Monica and would hire her again, so long as she's clear about availability and visiting times.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for a German Shepherd for the past 7 years, which has given me experience with large, energetic dogs and daily routines like walking, feeding, supervision, and exercise. I’m confident handling stronger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I have also met people with cats and love being around cats. Feeding, Reassurance, Playfulness, Walks are all my strong suit. I've been around dogs and cats all my life and would love to meet more! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me time throughout the week to care for pets, walks, drop ins, and playtime. I’m active, reliable, and able to give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable in my care. I have experience handling dogs through owning a German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of supervision, consistency, and exercise. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have always been surrounded by animals throughout my entire life. In my house there were always mostly dogs but I also had a cat when I was little. And they are beings so special to our lives that they need us to take care of them with a lot of love and compassion and that is why I would like to be able to help others take care of their most precious babies!! And knowing that I can help in some way comforts my soul. I speak Spanish ! I am available every day at any time. I can accommodate my schedules according to the needs of your babies and thus everyone is satisfied! I live in an apartment and I have two balconies. one open (only covered with a fence) and I have another one that is completely covered (with concrete) so that your babies can play quietly there and even inside the apartment you can play without any problem. I have air conditioning throughout the house so on very hot days they can be cool inside the home and I always have snacks or ice cream for dogs if you allow me I can give them to your pet. I also have several toys so they can play inside the home
“Jenn is an amazing cat sitter who understands cats. My cat likes her immediately. In the past three days, Jenn kept sending us daily updates and photos, which took away our worries . Our home was just as we left it—clean and well-kept—and our cat seemed relaxed and happy upon our return. We highly recommend Jenn to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats around at all times. From a four dog and one cat household, down now to just me and my one cat, I’ve got experience with slow households and chaotic ones. I’ve got experience with feeding, bathing, and walking dogs. I’ve also pet sit for friends and family, from high energy small Russel’s, to larger Chow Chow’s. I’ve also got minor medical and senior care experience. My families old yellow Labrador required insulin in his later years, so I have experience in monitoring energy, as well as checking blood sugar and injecting insulin. Further, prior to moving out from my parents, I spent the last 2 years assisting in the care of our senior dog who now requires doggy diapers. Rest assured, if your pup has an accident, or the sweet baby has any sort of bladder issues, I’m more than equipped to care for your puppy and clean up after. Having recently moved to a pet limited apartment, I no longer live with dogs, nor am able to at this time. If your babies need a walk, or just a pop in to play and eat, I’d love to be your gal. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ve got loads of time to dedicate to your pets. Unfortunately my complex rules won’t let me board, but I’m more than willing to make the drive out to you for drop in visits or long walks. I’ve got plenty of time to sit with shy kitties who might need extra care to feel comfortable, or high energy pups who need miles to go to feel good. My sweet kitty Hera has places to climb, windows to sunbathe, and a cat wheel to really burn her energy. She doesn’t go outside, so ready assured cat parents I know to watch those doors and windows to keep them from taking a frightening adventure. In general though, the more details you give me the better! If your fur baby needs special attention to their food for them to approve, or they only like going one direction on a walk, just let me know! If they have outdoor access, favorite hidey holes, or any special care instructions, I’m here for you and your babies.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I love them dearly! I know dogs need to be taken out frequently, played with, and given much attention. While you're away, I can assure you that your fur babies will be taken care of and be very loved. I realize that it can be very scary to be away from them; therefore, I am open to sending clients pictures and updates of their dogs at their request. I will make sure to meet their needs to make both you and your pet comfortable throughout their stay. I am mostly available on weekends as that is when I am less busy. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood to ensure that they get the exercise they need. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I will care for your pets as I care for my own. I will ensure that they are safe! I am open to sending you photos and videos to update you on your fur baby's time with me.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time and caring for them. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have gained hands on experience through volunteering at animal shelters and helping friends and family care for their dogs and cats. My experience includes feeding pets, providing fresh water, going on walks, playing with them, giving them attention and companionship, and helping them maintain their daily routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a positive experience for both pets and their owners, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Lyndsay, and I’ve been working with animals for over 20 years. I grew up on a three-acre ranch surrounded by just about every animal you can imagine—dogs, cats, horses, turtles, fish, a rabbit, a guinea pig, a rat, and even a frog. My lifelong passion for animals began early, and at just 15 years old I landed my first job at a petting zoo. That experience led me to Petsmart, where I worked for over three years as a Petcare Specialist and Groomer, caring for pets, administering medications, and grooming canine clients. After college, I continued my journey in animal husbandry by volunteering with several dog rescues, the Marine Mammal Center, and the Santa Ana Zoo. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—from rodents and reptiles to everything in between—gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of species and needs. While my life is a bit more structured these days as I run my own fully work-from-home business, animals remain a central part of my world. I’m an active member of the local dog community, belong to several dog social clubs, and help foster rescues whenever possible. I’ve also opened my home to many rescue animals of my own, including baby birds, opossums, and dogs with complex health conditions, and I’m well-versed in managing diverse medical and dietary needs. Doggy Day Care is: Monday - Thursday from 7:30am - 6:30pm. **After hours may acquire an additional $20 charge.** Fridays and overnight care may be approved separately for repeat customers. All dogs will remain within my oversight throughout the day while they are interacting with each other. I am well trained in dog behavior and body language. I separate all dogs into their own space when it's time for feedings, and during "nap time", giving all our guests time to decompress throughout the day. Bowls, bedding and flooring will be washed nightly to prevent germs from spreading. In the off chance that I need to leave the house for a few minutes, I will secure all dogs in their own crates, turn on soothing music, and watch them from my security cameras. Rest assured that your dogs will be in a comfortable and safe environment.
“Kiki is great. She was excellent with our dog and went the extra mile during her drop in visit. We will be asking Kiki back for more visits and you should feel confident in hiring her.”
“We went on a trip for a few days and Karyn helped us care for our 5-year old cat, Luna. Karyn is compassionate and loving, who takes great care of Luna. Karyn communicates well and is very responsive. We are 100% satisfied and we would recommend her service to friends.”
“Jenna was so awesome! Could not be happier with hiring her to look after our cats while we were visiting our family. She is organized, on time, and very responsive. She sent pictures ever day for every check in and was able to come for one extra day, on the fly, when our flight home changed. From the pictures we can tell our cats really appreciated her too. We will absolutely be booking with Jenna again for our next trip. Thank you Jenna!”

Mirae is the cat whisperer! My kitties are so shy that they hide from everybody. The minute someone comes to the door they are just streaks diving under the bed. But they let Mirae pet them and even asked for attention. Mirae was faithful to the times I requested and sent pictures so I could see how good the kitties were.doing. I will definitely be using Mirae’s services again!
Michelle was amazing with our sweet Dixie (4 month old golden retriever puppy)! After our first phone call with her, we knew Dixie would be in excellent hands. Michelle was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. We will absolutely be booking her again the next time we are in town; we couldn’t have dreamed of a better pet sitter.
Yermin did a great job with my kitty and dog. She had no problem "job sharing" with a friend of mine, who came by twice a day to walk the pup and Yermin came by each evening to make sure kitty and pup were fed and got him out for his last pee of the day before bed. She was very responsive when contacted and she was always in communication. Also sent lots of photos, which I love!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my puppy received! Anne was a great sitter. Even during a short visit, she made sure my puppy was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Latte!
First time being away from our dog- she's a rescue we've had almost 9 months who's easy going, low maintenance so we thought she'd be ok with a once a day visit for the 2 weeks we needed to be out of the country. Her and Jenn got along fabulously and she seemed happy from the daily photos that were sent. Jenn was also kind enough to water the potted plants on the patio and everything was in order and in place when we got back and most of all our Yuki was healthy and cared for . In a prefect world we'd love to be able to travel with our dog-and many times we do but sometimes it's just not possible-so the next best thing is to be able to have Jenn look after her. Thanks again Jenn..
Tiffany is amazing! She was so thorough with our dog’s needs. She took great care of him. We knew what to expect and she delivered! Our dog was so happy when we returned, thanks to Tiffany’s loving care of him. We are so lucky to have found Tiffany. Thank you!!
Today’s was Mairas first time doing a drop in it visit with canelo while I was at work and she did great she sent me pics and he seems very happy playing with her , she fed him and even gives her his paw. The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.
Danyella was simply amazing! She took extra special care of our baby girl pup. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our doggy was in good hands and being loved. Danyella was great at communicating and keeping us updated Very responsible, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We will definitely use her again.
Chandler took excellent care of our senior cat Chonky. She was very attentive to Chonky's needs. She gave him amply play time, brushed him and pet him. She also took care of feeding, giving him water top ups, taking out the trash, cleaning the dishes and litter boxes. She also vacuumed the tracked litter off the floor. We definitely recommend Chandler for your cat care needs!
