“Alesha is perfect as always! When we are out of town nobody takes better care of our two dogs and house as well as her. Very communicative and professional as usual :)”


“Eli was so great with Brew! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Brew was in good hands. He kept him active with hikes and was happy to give Brew company. Eli was timely and responsible and we will definitely use him again to help with Brew. Thank you!”


“Donatella made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated and had open communication throughout her stay with our pup. Will definitely be working with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”


“Vivian was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She did a drop in visit the week before coming to watch our girls for 4 days. While on our trip we got lots of photos and updates and after the first text we knew the girls were having fun. When we got home, I noticed how silky their coats were from all the brushings they got while Vivian was here. They were happy to see us, but they still go to check out the room where Vivian was sleeping to see if maybe she’s still here. It’s unanimous that we will be using her to sit again.”


“My first time using Luciana and I couldn’t be happier! Luciana was punctual, did a fantastic job of keeping me informed while I was away and was phenomenal with my Frenchie. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Luciana!”


“Dori was everything we hoped for; attentive to Bernie, and I could tell his needs were being met by his comfort with her. She sent photos and check-ins everyday, and left our house as it was, if not cleaner. She was a gem.”


About: Caring for your pet means more than just food and water—it’s about love, attention, and understanding their unique needs. Pets thrive in environments where they feel safe, loved, and cherished. Whether it’s a wagging tail or a gentle purr, the bond that grows stronger through consistent care and compassion. I am currently open to fit your schedule needs. Message me so we can work out a schedule that suites you. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I begin by getting to know each animal’s personality, needs, and routines, ensuring a calm and personalized approach. For my clients, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes or playtime routines. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication to offer peace of mind. Above all, I strive to create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed.

“Charlotte did an incredible job taking care of our cats while we dealt with the death of my husband's mother. She was very communicative and even handled a plumbing issues in our apartment while we were gone. My cats (and plants!) were well attended and the house was immaculate upon our return. She took out all garbage, recycling, did the dishes and even stripped the bed and did the linen laundry. She is welcomed back to cat sit anytime!”


About: I’ve been petsitting/housesitting for 8 years in San Diego CA and when I travel for petsitting. My experience with animals ranges from a wide variety of chickens, goats, pigs, a pet cow, horses, lizards, snakes and turtles as well as; cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes I am available most weekdays for drop ins and walks; with limited weekend availability depending on the week. If my schedule shows I am available through the weekend, then I am! For dog day care or boarding I am the primary caretaker but there are two extra sets of hands available. I currently look from home during this part of the year and have a flexible schedule to accommodate! We have a fully fenced in yard and prefer to take in only one families dogs at a time. If you dog is comfortable with it or prefers it, I am happy to take them on outings with me around town. I live walking distance to a shopping center and a few parks. Safety is very important to me as well as keeping the animals safe. I expect that all dogs and cats I care for to be non aggressive and properly trained to be safe to all in public. If they are not I require that it be disclosed in full and discussed with me prior to the sit, drop in, or walking; I am familiar with and can accommodate almost all behaviors but I do require it to be disclosed before proceeding. My priority is the comfort of your pet within their environment as well as the safety of all within that environment including your pet. If there are any quirks or triggers that your pets exhibit it is expected that they be disclosed when booking a walk, drop in or house sit as they can be accommodated if they are disclosed before the walk/visit. Please disclose if your cat is a frequent scratcher or biter, or if you dog has a rage/bite history for the safety of all parties.

About: I’m a recent college grad with lots of free time looking for extra income while spending time with cute doggies! I have my own 5 year old pomeranian who I absolutely adore!! He has taught me to love other dogs wholly. Your pet will get lots of pets, walks, and anything you’d like with me! I currently don’t have other commitments so I can fit your pet in any time of the week! Weekdays and weekends are all good for me. I will do as much or as little as you need! I can guarantee you that I will respect your space, as well as your pets. I want to provide a service that I would be happy providing for my own pup as well :)

About: I've had the pleasure of looking after cats and dogs for the past 5 years. I enjoy being your pet's companion while you're away and making sure they have enough food and cuddles. From administering medication to brushing teeth, you name it and I will make sure your pet gets the care they need! House sitting and pet care are my full-time priorities, so I am available pretty much anytime - including nights and weekends!

About: I have looked after my own and others pets since I was a teenager (for over 2 decades) and have developed a gentle approach to animal care and training. I have successfully trained my Huskita from a nervous, 1 year old rescue to a confident, well behaved 12 year old dog. I am extensively experienced with both cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walks and appreciate just how important they are to your dogs well being. I also understand that each dog is different and requires a tailored care experience, from the nervous and shy to the excitable and even aggressive. I am a 38 year old wildlife scientist who is adapting to a life in the US having moved here from the UK in 2025. I am looking for regular walking and home check work and can make most any day and time work during the weekdays. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own home and dog. I follow instructions carefully and will require a detailed chat leading up to the walking or sitting so you can provide any important and specific considerations for your pet. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and comfortable in their familiar space. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, giving a lot of affection, play and calm companionship. I’m mindful of routines, respectful of your home and committed to building trust with both you and your pet.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and elderly cat (who gets meds 2x/day!) with Michelle for 12 days. She is very responsible, has great attention to detail and is highly attentive to making sure all bases are covered. Additionally, and so important, she has a kind, loving and compassionate energy - I felt at ease leaving my furry children and home with her and was not disappointed!”


“Lilly was SO great! I have two dogs between 50 & 70lbs that are sweet, but both have their quorks.. my ‘mamma’s boy’ doodle usually will not go on walks with sitters, but he walked twice a day with Lilly! That means she was spending the time to be sweet with him and earn his trust, I was so happy to see him on walks & cuddling with her! She updated us & left the house looking great, I fully recommend Lilly! Thank you!”


“Jeffrey was terrific. He made an appointment before the sitting date to meet our dog Annie and discuss housesitting. He showed up at the date and time we requested. He took our dog on a daily walk and she really warmed up to Jeffrey. We really appreciated that he did some household items like take out our trash, check our mail and any packages that arrived. Our house was as clean and picked up as when we left. Jeffrey even made sure to make the guest bed that he was staying! 😉 We would definitely hire Jeffrey again. We feel he is a very dependable and conscientious house sitter. When Jeffrey left at the end of the sitting appointment, Annie wanted to follow him outside. 😀 Obviously, Jeffrey has a great way dogs. Highly recommended.”
