“Payton is amazing! We love booking our dog sitting and dog walks with her! She takes amazing care of our doods and gives them nice long walks on our work days!!”


“Karli did a wonderful job caring for Sky while we were gone. She has great attention to detail! She noticed that something was off with Sky and found a burr stuck in between her toes. In addition to a pup, we also have cats. It was soo sweet of her to share pictures of her visit with them too. When we came back home there was a card with a picture of Sky in it that she left for us. ❤️ I’d hire Karli anytime to look after our pets!”

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany, and I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life! I’m 37 years old and currently share my home with two sweet senior dogs and a curious kitten. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, a patient walker, or just someone who truly gets animal quirks, I’m your person. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is safe, loved, and cared for. Let’s chat, I’d love to meet your pup or kitty! I live and work downtown. I’m hybrid so office m-w. On office days I can do drop in’s before work at lunch and after work. On Thursday-Sunday I’m happy to hang out at your place if needed, as long as there is Wi-Fi :) I live in an apartment so my dogs go for lots of walks, to the dog park near us and have lots of toys. They get a ton of snuggles and attention at home. We just got a new kitten who fits right in and she has taken over the house with toys. I’ll give your fur babies the same amount of love and attention I give my own.

About: I grew up with all sorts of animals as a kid and we had at least 6 to 8 dogs at a time. Some people called my house the zoo with the different types of animals we had! I have house sat for family friends in the past with animals and I understand the importance of your pet being taken care of while you're away! I currently have a loving almost 4 year old female black lab mix named Serenity. I would love to meet your critters whether it's taking them out on a daily walk or checking on them during your busy work day! I currently work full time and have Wednesday-Friday off and every other Saturday. I am available after 6pm on Saturdays so I can still schedule in the evenings. I live in an apartment so I am able to only offer drop in visits or daily walks for your animals. I can also arrange for overnights if needed. I do have a dog myself so that would need to be scheduled in advance!

About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician who has been nicknamed the cat whisperer. Although cats aren’t my only specialty! I love and care for all animals including; reptiles, insects, fish, and fractious cats or dogs. I am able to medicate your stubborn fur baby’s whether it’s oral or injectable medication, I offer free nail trims if needed while I stay at your home, and I’m able to monitor for any general signs of pain or discomfort and advise if a trip to the Vet is needed. With 5+ years in the Veterinary field and 8+ years of dog walking and pet sitting experience I can promise you your baby(s) will be in good care. During work days I am available to check on your pet early mornings before 7am, mid days around 12pm, and after 6pm. I have 3 days off during the week which will allow me to stay with your pet all day if needed. Trust is earned through gentle interactions and like humans all animals have their own personalities. I am experienced in reading animals body language and identifying if something is wrong. I am experienced in approaching and handling anxious dogs and cats. If extra love and patients is needed then that’s what they will get. I am also able to identify choking, coughing, or seizures and know animal safety very well. Your pet will always be safe with me and will never be in a situation where they will be harmed.

“Kylie is amazing. We've done a handful of meetings with her so our shy/complicated puppy can meet her and get comfortable around her. She's always been punctual, responsive, and very kinda and gental to our pup. 10/10 would recommend!!”


About: I grew up with a black Labrador retriever, Benita, we had her for sixteen years. Growing up some of our favorite activities were going on long walks to the beach. In recent years, I have taken care of my friends dogs Archie and baby while they’ve been on vacation and have also lived with two cats. I work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available mid day to go on walks and can be accommodating to your pets needs for shorter or longer walks. I live with a cat so my home is set up for cats. I have a litter box and non toxic plants in the home

About: I absolutely adore dogs and their personalities. I had an older pup of my own, who has been with me all over California. Unfortunately my beautiful girl has passed. Now I have a 1 year old rambunctious little aussiedoodle named Thorin and all he wants do is play. He absolutely loves making new friends. I am always the first one to be called by any friend in need to watch their pets. I’m confident that Thorin and I can give your pet a safe space for them to have fun and you to relax and not worry. I currently work 2 miles from my place of residence. Your dog will usually just go with me to work every day, we have a bed/area set up (pet friendly environment) or if preferred the dog to stay home. My man comes with me, so we do the same for yours. Also, they would be walked first thing in the morning, on my lunch, after work and then again before bed. I have a crate if thats needed for your dog/your dog likes to have his/her own safe space. My house is free to roam for the animals. I have a big backyard they can play in.


“We all appreciate Coco so much! She is so flexible and easy going. She is willing to do what makes our Roxy happy. We left for the weekend and I didn't notice we were low on treats. (I forgot to tell Coco that Roxy gets one after the walk.) Coco is so in tune with dogs that she figured out Roxy was missing something, and what it was! She asked to bring some extras over so that Roxy would be sure to be happy for the day. Treats are just little extras, and not necessary, but it was SOOO SWEET that Coco wanted Roxy to be happy. You're the BEST!”


“Taylor was amazing with my fur babies ! She made sure my babies were walked, fed, and had their water. She stayed and cuddled with them and most importantly my babies trusted her. I definitely recommend Taylor 1000% !! I will definitely hire her again and will recommend her to all my friends and family. Don’t hesitate to hire Taylor you won’t be disappointed at all !”


About: What makes me different is the combination of hands-on experience, attention to detail, and genuine care I bring to every pet I meet. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare setting, which gave me the opportunity to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to seniors who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m comfortable with special routines, administering basic medications, and supporting dogs with unique needs. I also understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort zone. Some thrive with long walks and active play, while others just want a calm companion to keep them company. I make it my priority to meet each pet where they’re at, so they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Along with walks and drop-ins, I also offer overnight care and can provide bathing or nail care upon request. My goal is to make life easier for both you and your pets by being reliable, communicative, and treating your pets like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is already part of my daily life with my own two pets, and right now I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to yours as well. I’m reliable, consistent, and committed to keeping a routine that makes your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed—and make sure they get both attention and consistency while you’re away.

About: I've got experience with mainly cats and dogs. I've worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years in my past. I've also pet sat for friends when I was younger. I'm a full time student. I have my own car. I have a good amount of free time and can come to you. My summers are more open and flexible but during school,my schedules will change on availability. I let them come to me. I've loved animals since I was a kid but every animal is different. I'm patient and understanding. I'm very approachable and friendly. My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe with me and that doesn't always happen in one visit. I'll be doing my best at making sure your animals get plenty of cuddles and playtime as well as being fed properly and loved on well.

About: I have had a golden retriever growing up and in 2020 adopted 2 lab puppies. I have a lot of experience with playing, walking, feeding, and just being around animals. Pet care will fit into my daily routine because I have quite a bit of free time that I would like to spend with animals! I care for my pets by walking, feeding, playing, and hanging out with them daily. I make sure to give them attention and a lot of pets!

About: I would love to take care of dogs during my retirement life. I love to take dogs on walks and exercise with them, and cook well for them like how I do for my own dog. I have almost 40 years of experience caring for small, and medium dogs. I had three Shih-tzus, one Labrador, and one golden retriever mix before, and now I have a lovely 8 year old rat terrier mix. All my previous dogs lived a long and happy life with my family and I, and my current dog, Charlie, is living a happy and bouncy life with me every day. Dog sitting or walking is so important since they are loved by their family. With times away from the family, they’re usually stressed and I want to be the one the dog sees and feels relaxed with at home. My home is always open to dogs, and I am also able to travel to take dogs on walks. There is a lot I am able to and willing to do for your pets, I’ll treat them as if they’re my own. I look forward to providing fun walks and enjoyable home visits for your lovely pets! They deserve the best. I am currently retired. I love to stay home unless I am out with friends. So, love to hang out with dogs, exercise with them, and go on leisurely walks. I feed my pet every night and cook for him. I can accommodate any special diet your dog may need. I treat all dogs as my family. I have a fully fenced backyard with a grass patch, and I let them run free in my home. I will let them run free with supervision in the backyard at least twice a day. I love to communicate with them and see their reactions! And they also receive treats for any tricks they know.

Athena Mae J.
“I only worked with Athena for two weeks to house sit for my dog, Ellie. During this time, I had to make the decision to put Ellie down due to health and behavioral reasons. Athena made this process so much more manageable and comfortable for both myself, and Ellie. She provided tips for making Ellie more comfortable while she was alone, helped me find a way to help Ellie eat more consistently, and took her on daily walks and playtime. Athena even created imprints of my dogs paws and nose to remember her after she passed. I couldn't have asked for a more empathetic and loving dog sitter who Ellie immediately latched onto and looked forward to seeing everyday despite it being such a short time. Thank you again for everything, Athena!”


Andrea D.
“I've known Andrea D. for over 11 years now,and she's always been great with pets. She would often be asked to pet sit by the people in our community, and had a lot of repeat requests.
