About: I have over 10yrs experience caring for pups. In 2016, I adopted Barney the shihtzu, then Jack in 2019. Both were presumably 4yrs old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed from bone cancer. In 2022, I rescued Penny. She’s the white pup in the photo. I will take in only small dogs, no more than two at a time, to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I kindly ask that your pup arrive clean for daycare or overnight stays. Regarding visits at your home or housesitting, I am comfortable and experienced with caring for big and small dogs - and cats or other pets. I prefer a meet and greet for these services so I can acclimate to your pet’s environment. Certifications: • Cat and Dog First Aid Online Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home much of the time, which allows me to provide pets with regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and monitoring throughout the day. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, including senior pets and pets needing medications or extra attention. I understand how important consistency and routine are, especially when owners are away, so I try to maintain as normal and calm an environment as possible for each pet. Because I limit the number of bookings I take at one time, I’m also able to provide more individualized attention and supervision rather than treating pet care as a high-volume service. I’m also open to doing home visits and overnight sitting at your home. Bigger dogs and multiple pets are okay in these situations. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions for me. My pups are not crated and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Your pup(s) would be treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. However, if you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I’m happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. My dogs are housebroken, and I ask that visiting dogs be housebroken as well, with the exception of puppies. I rescued Penny as a puppy and have also cared for other young dogs, so I understand the importance of consistency with potty breaks, routines, positive reinforcement, and basic training — both outdoors and with pee pads if needed. For daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting, I require a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible so your pet(s) and I can become familiar with each other and I can learn more about their routine, personality, comfort level, medications, feeding schedule, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to maintain as much of their normal routine as possible to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I provide feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter maintenance, playtime, companionship, medication administration if needed, and regular updates/photos for peace of mind. I do request that your pup(s) arrive reasonably clean and groomed since they will be allowed on furniture and around my home. I also ask that owners share any special needs, routines, behaviors, anxieties, triggers, medical conditions, medications, dietary restrictions, or quirks ahead of time so I can help ensure your pet has the safest, smoothest, and most enjoyable stay possible. Please also let me know about any behavioral concerns such as resource guarding, separation anxiety, excessive barking, reactivity toward people or other animals, escape tendencies, chewing, marking, or aggression so I can determine the best and safest environment for everyone involved. The more I know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, comfort level, and preferences, the better I’m able to help them feel relaxed and at home while you’re away.

“Kamila was very knowledgeable and understood what was needed for my critters. She also sent pictures and updates and asked questions when needed. Very happy with Kamila and definitely book again next time.”

About: We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well. I work from home, so other than errands or short outings the dogs have someone home with them nearly all the time. We have a gated kitchen so dogs can be separated if needed. We have a large fenced yard with a covered patio and when it’s too hot to be outside, the dogs are in the air conditioned house with us.

“Sumaira is absolutely wonderful. She follows your directions to the letter, is on time and send pictures. My pets love her and I always come home to happy pets. I highly recommend Sumaira as her professionalism is unmatched!”

“Taylor is most excellent! She knew and provided just what Gracie and I needed, and more! I believe I hit the jackpot when I found Taylor! So kind, sweet, understanding and helpful!”

Anne M.

“Elizabeth took great care of our cat while we were away for a few days! She kept us updated and sent us pics. We definitely plan to use her in the future!”

Nicole J.

“Megan did a great job! Always checked in and gave us feedback. Our babies were fed, watered, and happy when we returned. We would highly recommend her, and we plan to use her again.”

“Jessica was great! She was a great communicator and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see my little fur angel while away. She even went above and beyond by offering to water my poor plants that I had just traumatized after repotting them! Jessica arrived right on time for our meet-and-greet and clearly understood how cats operate — giving Ree space to come to her first. I felt comfortable with Jessica knowing my cat (and plants!) were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Courtney was great. Will continue to use her services! Highly recommend”

“Tatiana is the most wonderful, loving pet caregiver I have ever known. My senior cat with IBD was vomiting and not eating when Tatiana came to check on him. She went above and beyond to readily communicate with me, and accepted additional visits to check on him (and my other cat). She fed him by hand until he was feeling better and got him to take all of his medications and supplements. This brought me so much peace of mind while I was away. I can’t even express how wonderful Tatiana is. I 100% recommend her to look after your pets! She is amazing!”

Roberta L.

“Gen was amazing! Kept my up to date during every drop in visit and sent plenty of pictures. I knew I had left Mac in great hands, and I looking forward to booking with Gen again!”

Julia L.

“Halona is amazing! On very short notice, she came by our home to do a meet & greet with our 4-month old puppy who is a pretty timid rescue pup. She asked all the right questions about our home and our pup, some I had not even thought of myself! Knowing I can rely on her to drop in mid-day for playtime with my pup is such a relief. She was right on time, sent many amazing photos, helped tire him out, feed him, and dry him off from the wet grass, etc. Gave me a full report of his behavior and activities while she was there! Halona is a trustworthy, reliable, and loving puppy friend!”

Eleni L.

“Stefanie is wonderful! She's very calm and kind, took time with the animals, and communicates well. She was very flexible as our schedule kept changing. Thank you Stefanie!”

About: Hi! I’m Seiko — an experienced pet care professional with over 18 years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, birds, exotics, and small animals. I have a background in both emergency and general practice veterinary medicine, along with years of experience in large dog daycare and boarding environments. I graduated with honors in Veterinary Technology and became a Registered Veterinary Technician in California. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets with special medical and emotional needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring behavior changes, and helping anxious or shy pets feel safe and comfortable. Before transitioning into veterinary medicine, I spent 14 years working in a busy Los Angeles dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for large groups of dogs in fast-paced environment. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm under pressure, and give every pet individualized attention. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, tropical fish, and more. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply a calm and reliable presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m extremely respectful of clients’ homes and routines, and I always aim to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. I’m currently available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and recurring care throughout the week and weekends. I also love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for I am currently transitioning out of a full time Registered Veterinary Technician position to focus on pet walking, sitting, and care as a full-time opportunity. I am available morning to night during the week and most weekends. I would be more than happy to get to know your pet whether it is a once in a while drop-in, a regular check-in, or a scheduled daily walk. While I unable to host your pet in my own home I will happily provide the best care in your's. I will bring experience, knowledge in care, and a love of pets to every interaction.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was eleven, cats since I was sixteen. I'm very dependable and trustworthy. I'm also flexible to your needs. My schedule is very open, so I can make time to help you with your loved pet. I'm also available for housesitting on weekends. I can also do daily check-ins to make sure all is well with your loved one. I can crate your dogs. My own cat is an indoor cat, and I would keep clients' cats indoors as well. I can't board in my place, however.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and I started dog sitting when I was 16, so I have 13 years of experience and 23 years of knowing dogs! I am very experience with every kind. I am seeking to walk dogs and dog sitting as a part time job as I am a grad student. This is a perfect job for me because I love dogs so much and I love hiking as well and being outdoors. I’m very comfortable with dogs at my house, as long they get along with other dogs and are friendly. However, I can also board dogs if they do not get along with other dogs, they can stay in another room.
