She treated Cookie like her own and kept us updated with sweet messages and photos that truly gave us peace of mind. It’s never easy leaving your furry family member with someone new, but with Helen, we felt completely safe. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we’ll definitely be reaching out again. Thank you, Helen, for taking such loving care of our girl.”

“Angie was the perfect fit for our dog! We spent the day at Disneyland knowing that our pup was in good hands. We love the fact that Angie works from home. She was able to send us photo updates throughout the day, take him on walks, and give him all the snuggles he needed as he was the only animal in her care. What a lucky dog! This was comforting for us and allowed us to completely enjoy our time at the park. Thank you, Angie!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.
“It’s so special to find someone who truly treats your pet like family. Kairo must feel so loved and safe with Carolyn and her husband that he greets her—whom I refer to as his Rover mom—by standing on his hind legs and giving her an immediate hug. I’m not sure whether I should be jealous, but all I can feel is gratitude. It’s an amazing feeling knowing you can leave your furry family members with caring and loving people who take care of them like their own. Kairo really adores them, and that brings a huge sense of peace, knowing he’s in such good hands while we are away.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I love to care for them, play with them and I just love being outside with them. I have a sister who is an experienced veterinarian and she has/is always been my source of knowledge on any medical emergencies for pets or just overall help in general. I've taken care of all different kinds of pets my whole life. Anything from parrots to puppies and cats, lizards, frogs, etc. I don't mind running with dogs or taking them to the dog park. I can handle larger dogs if they are strong. I understand each dog is different and has there own routines. I am flexible and can accommodate there needs whether physical or stationary. Thank you for reading this and I hope I can be of help to you and your dogs:) I am currently almost done with my last year in college and I have time to be with dogs and cats. I want a dog/cat but can't have one at the moment because unfortunately, I can't take care of one full time. I give your dogs/cats lots of love, attention and treat them like they're family. I love to take walks with my kids around the neighborhood or to the 2 nearby parks around. My family and I love going to the dog park as well, my mom has a yorkie that we take every now and then.

🌟 Review Alert! 🌟 Just got back from an incredible trip to Disneyland California! 🎢 It was my fiancé's first time, and knowing our dogs, Trid and Reg-Z, were in great hands made it even more special. Huge shoutout to Sabrina for her amazing doggie daycare service. 🐾 From 8:30 am to 11:30 pm, she made sure our fur babies felt loved and welcomed. Her updates and photos throughout the day were such a relief! 📸 It was clear Trid and Reg-Z were having just as much fun as we were! Finding someone you trust with your pets isn't easy, but Sabrina went above and beyond. 🐶❤️ Trid and Reg-Z returned to us happy and full of love. We've found our go-to pet sitter for life whenever we're back in California. As someone who grew up here but now calls Phoenix, Arizona home, I'm thrilled to have Sabrina's loving care for our little angels during visits. Trid and Reg-Z give her all 8 paws up for an amazing time! 🐾🐾 Thank you, Sabrina, for taking such wonderful care of our babies! 🌟
Rebecca was fantastic! She took excellent care of our shy, one-year-old Golden, making him feel right at home. Her regular updates gave us peace of mind and helped us enjoy our day. She is a professional, friendly, and top-notch pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will be back for sure. A++!
It's challenging to find a good, responsible sitter, and Kimberly is one of the great ones! Zenji is a senior dog with special needs, requiring medication to be administered several times daily. I worry about him constantly, due to all of his health issues, but Kimberly was very understanding, responsible, and put me at ease. I appreciated that Kimberly invited me to see her home and yard during the meet and greet and really took her time with us. Many pet sitters do not extend this type of offer to see their space, which always feels a little strange to have my dog stay in a place I haven't seen. In fact, Kimberly's space was so inviting and comfortable, that Zenji was extremely excited, and even I felt extremely relaxed! Zenji had a blast with Kimberly and got lots of exercise! They took walks around Old Town Tustin, which is a place Zenji always enjoys visiting. I really appreciated Kimberly's attentiveness, and her frequent responsiveness and updates. I am looking forward to hiring her again!
Angie is an absolute gem! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s attentive, communicative, and truly treats your pet like her own. I received regular updates and adorable photos that showed just how happy and relaxed my dog was. Angie goes above and beyond—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!
We are beyond thankful for having Reena as our fur babies sitter. Whether for the day or over night, Reena provides outstanding care to our dogs. She sends to us pictures of our dogs throughout the day and lets us know how they are doing. Our dogs absolutely love going to Reena’s and that is the most important seal of approval. 🐾 We trust Reena with our dogs and will continue to bring them to her.
Alysa, thank you for taking care of our little guy for the day. It was clear when we picked him off that he had a great day and was very happy. We appreciate you taking him in walks with your dogs, the time he spent playing with them and your whole care in general. We will be rebooking with you for future dates. Thank you!
