Vianca has been so great with our puppy! She does drop in visits and is great at communicating, flexible, and makes sure Leo gets lots of love! I’ve used her a few times now and plan to keep booking her in the future as her schedule allows.

Aimee is amazing! During our first meeting at our home, she immediately connected with both us and Hippie. My cat is usually afraid of new people, but we all loved Aimee the moment she arrived :) It was heartwarming to see how quickly she put Hippie at ease. Aimee's calm and gentle approach allowed us all to build trust and create a positive connection right from the start. We felt confident leaving our furry friend in her care after that wonderful introduction.

Jessica did an amazing job! She was great with communication, reliable, and gave my dogs lots of love and attention. This was my dog's first time with a sitter, so it was not an easy challenge to take on but Jessica is a natural with dogs. My dogs already miss her. 😂

Regan is the absolute best! I was stressing with last minute holiday arrangements for a sitter and she saved the day!! She was so kind, gentle, and sent lots of pics of my girls while I was gone. My kitties absolutely adored Regan and I could tell immediately she was a purrfect fit. Next time I need a sitter I know who to call! :)

About: Growing up, we had 3 family dogs until our last companion passed away when I was 10 years old. I adopted my two cats when I was 19, and I took care of them for about 2 years before I moved up to LA for 2 years, leaving them in my parents’ care. While in LA, I cared for my boyfriend’s corgi from 9-5 while he was at work. I did Rover for about half a year in LA where I was given the opportunity to care for unforgettably cute and fun dogs. Now that I’m moved back in with my parents, I spend the majority of my time training, walking, and playing with my newly adopted dog, and I thought it would be fun and convenient to care for other dogs all the while. To tell you a little bit about my dog, his name is Teddy Kuma, and he's currently 6 months old. He is crate and potty trained, and learns super fast. I started his training as soon as I adopted him, so he knows over 30 commands now! As for my cats, they live in our renovated living room which is separated by a door, so if your fur baby is scared of cats, there’s no need to worry. And if you’re worried about my cats, they’re actually indoor and outdoor cats, so we have a small doggy door for them to freely move in and out of our home in the daytime. I’m a part-time student, so I have a lot of free time and a super flexible schedule. I spend most of my time just hanging out with my dog in the living room while watching TV, sewing, and/or knitting if we’re not outdoors, playing, or training. I have a playful, 7 month old golden mix at home to accompany your pup! I take him outside every 4-6 hours, and we go on walks two times a day. We’ll be doing fun enrichment sessions with treats, puzzles, and/or snuffle mats together to (hopefully) mentally tire out the pups as well.

Melody was nothing short of amazing!! She took the best care of our timid Labrador & terrier who quickly grew to love her sweet personality while we were away on a trip. She even took them on two walks a day since they were in their crates and cleaned up any messes and was quick to message me with any questions or concerns. And she even took our garbage to the street! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again for future trips! She’s the BEST!!!! Thanks again for taking such good care of our pups Melody!

Olena was great with our dog Summer! She came in for our drop in visits and played with her, took her to pee and potty, and fed her. She helped us out when I had to go away for a business trip. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thanks again!

My dog is 16.5 years old and changing by the day. I was reluctance to have a sitter due to some potentially challenging inconsistencies. But I was very pleasantly surprised and thankful that all seemed to go well! Ricky was always communicative and sent great phots which were very reassuring! Everything went smoothly (as far as I know!) and I would hire Ricky again for my dog ... Ricky!
