“Juan cared for my two cats and dog during the 2016 flood. He boarded then for two months. We have used him multiple times over three years now. He updates us daily and send pictures of our animals. He is a true animal lover”
2. Maddie C.
“Maddie is awesome. My cats really love her. She spends the full 30 mins taking care of the cats and playing with them (as they allow). Aftwr being gone for a week, the cats were totally calm and relaxed when we got home. I will absolutely be booking with Maddie again!”
3. Bobbi L.
“Bobbi was great!! Very professional and a calm demeanor that my dog loved. My dog has medical issues so it was great to know Bobbi’s background and studies make her knowledgeable about taking care of special needs dogs. I highly recommended Bobbi.”
4. Sophia G.
“I highly recommend Sophie for any pet sitting needs! She took exceptional care of my 15-year-old cat Boggs, who is quite shy and has several medical issues. I was impressed by how well she managed his medications and special needs, and her patience with his cautious nature was incredible. He’s typically very reserved, but he seemed completely at ease with her, which speaks volumes about her experience and attentiveness. Honestly, I think he was spoiled even more with her care than he is with me! I couldn’t have asked for better peace of mind while I was away—Sophie truly went above and beyond”

About: As a child I had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake. As an adult I've had a dog and helped rehome a couple kitties. I don't have pets because my kids have allergies, but I love them. Due to being a parent, I am seeking a job with a flexible schedule that I can work when my kids are in school or aren't with me I would treat them with loving kindness and respect as if they were my own whether I watch them at their owner's home or my own.

About: I've been taken care of cats and dogs since I was young girl . I am also in school studying to become a Veterinary Technologist. I am currently in school part-time so, I'll be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I am available sometimes on weekends. I have a decent-sized yard and a lot of space for your pet to move around. I currently work at the LASPCA, so I can even bring your dog to work with me sometimes. There are plenty of parks nearby where I can take your puppy on nice walks and playdates.

About: I recently had my Black lab pass in june 2022 I would love to pet sit any animal. It makes my day just to be around them I sometimes have to let my friends dogs usually 1-2 times a week. I let him out, walk him, and feed him when i visit him. I love to play with animals and i’m very good with big animals. I love to play catch with them, feed them, pet them, and bundle up with them, also spoiling them is amazing
17. Macy A.
About: I’ve worked for a family friends animal clinic for 2 years and have accepted dogs of all kinds! From walking, to bathing to giving all the love, I’m the girl for the job! I work a day job but have optimal time after work to get the job done! Caring for my pet becomes part of my daily work routine by setting aside time for feeding, exercise, and attention. We take breaks for walks, ensure they have a comfortable space nearby, and balance their needs alongside work tasks. This can help structure my day and offer a mental break during busy times. To care for pets in both my home and clients' homes, maintain consistent routines for feeding, walking, and play. At my home, ensure a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of stimulation. In clients' homes, respect their specific instructions, use their preferred supplies, and provide updates on their pet's well-being. Building trust with both the pets and their owners is key. Whether at home or at a client’s, maintain patience and adaptability, ensuring each pet’s individual needs are met while balancing your work commitments.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have over twenty years of experience caring for animals of all varieties. I spent a decade working in veterinary medicine, and am capable of caring for all your companion animals, great and small. Cats, dogs, exotics, and even your backyard flock are all safe in my care. I am a college professor by day, available on Fridays, in evenings and on weekends during the school year. During breaks, I am available during the week, as well. Don’t you love coming home to your house exactly as you left it? Happy critters, no litter box smell, no accidents to clean up, mail checked, plants watered? I do, too! My own pets are pampered, and yours will be, too!
19. Ella B.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I have always looked at pets as an extension of my family. They’re my children too! I currently have 4 cats, but I grew up with dogs and have helped family members take care of their fur babies whenever they have needed help. I’m extremely calm and patient. I am a hairstylist so my schedule is extremely flexible! I prefer to take my hair clients around 9am-3pm. Most evenings I’m available as well. I am available to take them on walks around your neighborhood, let them outside in your backyard if needed. I can make sure they’re fed. I can also do clean up if needed. If you have indoor cats I can also make sure they are fed and well taken care of. I also have much knowledge on feeding cats a raw/semi raw diet if you would like to know more on that topic!
