“Cari was amazing! Our pups absolutely love her and we felt so at ease with her being there with them while we were out of town. She sent us lots of pictures and the house was neat as a pin when we got home. We’re so happy we found her!!!”
“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”
“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”
“Juliana and Celeb did a wonderful job at carrying for our two dogs. Our pups feel in love with Juliana. And she showed them so much love and attention while we were out of town. They didn’t even act like they missed us, hahaha. We will definitely be using them again. They took excellent care of our home and even made sure our plantings were watered in this record breaking heat. My husband and I felt so good while away knowing our babies were being cared for by two people who love dogs and are very good with them. Thank you both for being so awesome with Bandit and Boone.”
“John did a spectacular job watching three very high energy dogs (including a puppy!) We felt safe and comfortable having him in our house while we were on vacation. He left a notebook filled with detailed notes about his time with our dogs. Would hire him again any time!”
“Bri was absolutely amazing! She was so responsive and careful to follow all of the instructions that I left for my cat. She left the house in impeccable order and she went above and beyond . I came home to a very happy cat who clearly got a lot of play and attention while I was away. Exactly what I was hoping for. I would be happy to have a Bri back again!”
“Valerie was so great with Bandit. She sent us photos and updates. She absolutely knew his needs and took very good care of him. She was also very accommodating since she didn’t have much notice. I would absolutely have her sit with him again. Bandit actually cried for her when she left. Great girl and great personality. Thank you so much Valerie for taking good care of our fur baby.”
“Such a compassionate Petsitter that treats the animals like a pet nanny! The animals loved her. To boot, I had recently gotten an equine that had bloodwork come back the day before our trip which necessitated special treatment. She handled it like a pro and my girl took to her right away. Would highly recommend even at the peril of having her booked up when we might like to have her sit for us.”
“We booked Katie to stay with our girl for our 9 day vacation June 18th. She was great, gave us updates everyday with pictures. She responses very quickly . She made us feel very comfortable being away. I would highly recommend her. Katie is the best!”
About: I have 1 dog and four cats, a few years of pet sitting experience, and even worked as a kennel tech at a dog kennel before. I’m currently in the process of finding a part-time or full-time job since I’m taking a break from college, but pet sitting on the side would give me a good opportunity to not only earn money but to give me a purpose and do something I’ve always loved to do: caring for and helping animals (and helping their owners out too!) Like I mentioned, I have several pets at home so I can easily do things like taking dogs outside to go to the bathroom and on walks, feeding them, clean up after them (I especially clean litter boxes a lot), and I can even stay with them as long as they need if they don’t do well being alone for long periods of time.
“I booked louis as a last minute house sit for both my Great Dane and French bulldog. We did a meet and greet and his presence with my usually very timid Great Dane was so relieving!!! My Great Dane became INSTANT friends with Louis!!! His approach with building a relationship with them was so appreciated!! He kept the house incredibly clean and provided great updates with how they were doing! Will definitely be booking again for my work trips/vacations! Thank you Louis!!”
About: I have had cats and a dog that I made sure were well taken care of. I love taking care of animals whether mine or other people's. I work in the mornings until 12pm and have off in the afternoon, so I will have time in the afternoon and evenings to take care of other people's animals I have several leashes to use to walk dogs and I have gates and crates that I can block of certain areas of the house to make sure they are safe.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. I currently have a boxer and a mini poodle who I love even though they’re a handful, and I’ve had cats in the past! My parents left the responsibility up to me to take care of them so I have experience with cleaning, feeding, grooming, and more when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m a college student with random free time in my schedule during the week so a quick pet sit or walk would work perfectly for me! I can feed the proper dosage of food to the pet, take them on a walk and play with them when asked and even clean them. I can administer medicine if necessary as long as the owner properly demonstrates and explains what’s needed!
About: I’ve had many different kind of animals as pets over the years. Mostly dogs of medium and large sizes but also petsitting for family member’s smaller dogs. I’ve also had cats, rabbits, ferrets, and more. I love animals and I’ve never had any bad experiences with them. I love walking and playing with them and just taking care of them in general. I’m currently working full time but I’m available on the weekends. I’m more then happy to watch and walk and play with any find of animal. I currently have a Shar Pei mix that gets along with other dogs and cats. My two cats are very comfortable around dogs. I thrive to make an environment where all animals can feel safe and relaxed.
About: I have grown up with dogs for the majority of my life. Dog breeds like pugs, Dalmatian, Australian Shepard, pitbull, boxer, doodle, blue heeler, and more! I grew up on a farm with horses, sheep cows, cats, dogs! All kinds of animals 🥰 I am very passionate about animals being taken care of the way they deserve! Along with that I have also spent 5+ years caring for snakes and other reptiles I work in Palm Springs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 8-4. I am available most weekends, can do multiple days or weeks the only days that the potty time would be more than 4 hours are the days I work, I do have a friend that would be willing to give them a potty break during days I'm at work when they have time, ONLY with the permission of owner! I will be sure the owner is aware of anything and everything that happen while their furry family member is in my care 🥰 I have a fenced in yard. No typical pets, just ones in tanks so there would be no issues on either end, your pets can't get in and mine can't get out so they will have access to my whole house 🥰 I do allow most animals on my couch and bed. I am also able to watch in the owners home.
