About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time, and have taken care of pets for friends and family for 10+ years. I love how different every dog is, and getting to understand how to take their individual needs into account. I do my best to adapt my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for, and currently have a lot of time available to walk, feed, and play with pets in my care. I prefer to have clear instructions when it comes to pet care, and try to keep the care I provide as similar to the care they already receive as possible.

“Lily took amazing care of our two dogs and even took them on evening walks that they so love! We appreciated the communication and photos and will absolutely come back to Lily next time that we take a trip!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine.

Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

Moth M.
“Last year, I took my son on a trip to Las Vegas for four days, and Moth generously stepped in to care for my pets. Not only did they keep my animals fed and happy, but they also stayed at the house the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. When I ended up unexpectedly stranded in Los Angeles for an extra day, Moth didn’t hesitate to extend their stay—watching over my dog and two cats for a total of five days. They maintained the litter box, ensured the pets were well-fed, and even walked my dog daily. I came home to calm, well-cared-for animals and a tidy home. Moth was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets’ wellbeing. I will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter—couldn’t be more pleased!”
