“Lily was a fabulous dog sitter for our girl Juno. She kept her actively engaged and sent me regular updates. Could not ask for a more caring and compassionate dog sitter and human!”


“Sommer was very dependable and detail oriented which was important to me! She also provided excellent communication and quick response time when communicating!! My cat is usually depressed, stressed, and distances himself from us when we return from vacationing. It usually takes him several days to warm back up to us but he was not that way at all this time!! I would give Sommer 10 stars if it was an option.”


“Needed a sitter last minute - Devyn came through with flying colors! Our two cats were well taken care of and she followed our instructions perfectly. She sent us photos and made sure to keep us informed on a daily basis. We will definitely be booking her again!”


“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”


About: I grew up with dogs and have always and one or two to take care of. They are so fun to play with and I enjoy seeing the different quirks in each animal I’ve worked with. I’m available for daily walks, or drop-ins in the morning, afternoon, and early evenings from 7 am to 7 pm. My schedule is flexible and negotiable. I ensure my dogs are fed, entertained, and that they get a good amount of outside time. If it’s hot outside, then I will make sure to mind the temperature of the concrete and bring them in or play in a patch of grass.

“Kayla was wonderful and I will most definitely look for her in the future! She was very professional and was kind enough to extend her time to accommodate unexpected travel issues and make sure that Charlie was cared for. Thank you again Kayla!”


About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and work in a vet clinic. I have experience with giving oral and injectable medications. I can work with senior and special needs dogs and have animal CPR and first aid training. I would love to help out with your baby. I work full time but have availability early in the morning and after 3:30pm. I am free all day on Mondays and I rotate weekend work schedule but still have available time every weekend. I have a fenced in back yard and a dog and three cats. There are separate housing rooms available in the home and lots of toys!

About: I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, so I understand how to tailor my care to different life stages. Whether it’s keeping up with potty training, administering medication, or just providing a calm and comforting environment, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and happy while you're away. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind. My goal is to build lasting trust — with both you and your pet. I currently work for a CPA firm, but my schedule is very flexible — especially in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. That means I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's going for a walk, spending time playing, or just offering some calm company, I love incorporating pet care into my day. It’s the best kind of break from my work! Although I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly care for and play with my friends’ animals. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, given plenty of attention and exercise, and that their specific needs are met — whether that’s extra cuddles, bathroom breaks, or following any special instructions. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I would want for my own.

About: I am a lover of all animals & have grown up with them my whole life. I started pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 10. I am comfortable with all breeds, and all your pet needs including medications, puppies, seniors, walking, etc. I am happy to give your pet all the snuggles or wear them out with lots of play! I have a very flexible schedule and availability will depend on the day / week. I am open Monday - Sunday. Depending on when you need me, I am happy to make my schedule revolve around your pet. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and will do everything in my power to ensure this is the case. In your home, I will keep their routine to what they are used to. On walks, I will keep them on leash and make sure your requests are met. For drop-ins, I will make sure they are left feeling very loved.

About: I’m currently a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Environmental Studies and Political Science! I grew up taking care of family pets such as dogs, cats, horses, and goats, which was my initial introduction to the animal world. Beyond this, I spent many years volunteering at rescues to learn about caring for animals with particular behavioral and medical needs. I’ve gained invaluable experience through rehabilitating animals and have tried to advocate for animal welfare whenever possible in my daily life. Since starting my degree, I’ve house-sat and pet-sat on multiple occasions for periods up to a month in length. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and understand the importance of care done correctly. I’m happy to accommodate specific requests and prioritize pet well-being above all else! I'm a full-time student, so I will have several classes every day beginning in late August. However, this schedule could easily accommodate visits to the house throughout the day for potty breaks or other animal needs. I'm able to manage morning and night care, along with 1-2 visits throughout the day. I'm also available with greater flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-in visits, walking, and house-sitting. Depending on owner and pet needs, we can work out a schedule to suit everyone! In my client's home, I try to maximize time spent with the animals by sitting in communal spaces and interacting with them whenever possible. I'm a patient and flexible person, so the process of learning an animal's routine and behaviors is a fun challenge for me! I also complete necessary tasks like feeding, watering, walking, grooming, etc.

“Joanna did such an amazing job with our dog! Her taking care of Trooper allowed us to focus on our time away with family and not have to worry if he was ok or the house was ok, 10/10 recommend!!”


About: I have volunteered at animal shelters for 8 years and have had dogs all my life! I am experienced with senior dogs and with dogs who need extra love and patience both from shelter experience and from my own dog back home! I am a recent USC graduate so I currently have a lot of free time. I am available from 9 am - 8 pm for dog walks and dog sitting and am available to house sit. With my extensive years of pet experience, you can trust that I will give your pet the utmost love and attention while they are in my care. I will take them on frequent walks and ensure they have plenty of food and water.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to each pet as if they were my own. I have experience working with a wide range of pets; from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to senior dogs and cats who require gentle handling, medication, and extra comfort. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for both pets and their people. I tailor my care to match each pet’s routine and personality so they feel secure and happy. I’m currently part time CNA Med Tech, so I have plenty of time and energy to and play with and take care of your pets. If your pet stays in your home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent. I follow feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as instructed, and I take time to bond with them through play, cuddles, or quiet companionship—whatever they prefer. I respect your space, keep everything clean, and send regular updates with photos so you feel connected and reassured. Whether in my home or yours, I care for each pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats. I have 3 dogs and 5 cats. I’m very experienced with both. I use to watch my aunts dogs for her while she was at work. She has 2 dogs and I’d sometimes watch her cats which at the time she had 4. I’m always dealing with cats and dogs. I care for them everyday no matter what. I love animals and I can take care of them. I can feed them, take them for walks, play with them. Do all of the things cats or dogs need. I do these things on a daily basis.

“Chazney was great! She sent plenty of pictures and updates which we really appreciated. She also asked questions when needed and really just seemed to care about our fur baby! We felt comfortable knowing we were leaving our baby boy with her 😊”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals—from loyal German Shepherds and playful pit bulls to energetic labs, cuddly chihuahuas, and high-energy doodles. My experience also extends to caring for cats, ducks, and even fish, making me a versatile and trustworthy companion for your pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am a teacher during most of the year, but I love working with animals. I am trying to build my summer with pet sitting, dog walking, etc to keep myself active and busy. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. However, in your home I will keep the schedule/routines you use and ensure your pet gets plenty of cuddles and care.


“My dog is very wary of new people, and therefore requires someone who really understands dogs. Kelly agreed to meet our dog prior to sitting for us, and my husband was amazed at how our dog (who often has fear-based aggression with new people) INSTANTLY loved Kelly! Kelly sent us pictures 2-3 times a day, which showed us that our dog was having a great time! Will definitely book again!”
