“Lauren was great with our girl Calliope. She always updated us with photos every day so we knew what was going on while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Kristen was wonderful with my golden, Lucy. She took the time to give lovins' and lots of belly rubs, which is a sure win! I felt very comfortable with Kristen, feeling I was leaving my bestie in good hands! I completely trusted her!”

“Heather went above and beyond caring for our three dogs during their very first experience with a dog sitter, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to trust with them. Leaving our dogs for the first time was understandably anxiety-provoking, but Heather immediately put us at ease with her kindness, patience, communication, and obvious love for animals. She took exceptional care of all three dogs, paying attention to their individual needs and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. Heather kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well-loved while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we would happily book with her again!”

“Thanks Teri! You did a terrific job! I would highly recommend Teri to watch your pets. From the first time she met my boys they took a liking to her and I could tell they were going to be friends. I don’t like to leave my pets with just anyone, they mean to much to me, but I will leave them with Teri anytime! Thanks again Teri!!”

About: I’m very caring and attentive to all animals and I am here to spend time with and play with them when you are unable. I have plenty of experience watching dogs, cats, and even reptiles on several different occasions for a few years now and will never get tired of meeting new ones! I have a passionate love for animals and believe they deserve the best care possible. I’ve been looking for a job and came to the conclusion this is the best for me. Getting paid to care and tend to animals and even just hanging and chilling with them doesn’t even seem like a job to me but more like a fun time. As of right now, I have all the time in the world to look after pets and be their friend. Contact me whenever you need me! :) I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. I do not have a fence but and perfectly fine taking dogs out on the leash for the bathroom or just for a walk. If you have any special requests or advice when you need me to look after them I am all ears and waiting for the details.

Our yard is fenced in so they can be let out anytime. We do have fenced in chickens a d ducks.

About: I have stepped up and taken care of pets from family members since I can remember. I am very active and love walking and engaging with any dog and being a companion to any furry friend.

Throughout the day I am available in between classes to stop by and check in. Whenever I am home I will offer companionship and am all for frequent walks and/ or playing. I live with 3 other responsible people who love animals and can keep them company as well.

“Jessica did a wonderful job with our one-year old indoor cats Artie and Roo. She was attentive and played lovingly with them, and even kept the litter box immaculate on top of simply ensuring they always had water and food. We'd hire Jessica again in a heartbeat!”

“Troy was great! He was very reliable and Dallas loved him. He made sure she was taken care of. He spent time just sitting outside with her and sending us constant updates and pictures from each drop in. We were able to relax while on vacation knowing our dog was being taken care of. We highly recommend him for taking care of your pets and will be using him again the next time we are out of town.”


About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire life, small to large breed, we love dogs! Our little one absolutely loves having them around, being outside, throwing ball, treats, etc. So, your pet would need to be great with kids :) We live in the beautiful Whittier neighborhood with plenty of walking options. Our backyard is enclosed with a high eight foot fence. So, your pet would be plenty comfortable. Or, if you're away, I could come to your pet for their time outdoors. I have a small SUV, so transportation is always an option! We're comfortable letting your pet roam the house while we're here and away. We would only take on more than one dog after talking to the owner of our current stay, and the dogs are compatible, or they come from the same home! With that said, we do not have any four legged pets of our own.... only tanked ones ;) three amano shrimp, two tetras, and two narite snails! So, your pet will have the luxury of our undivided attention! When your pet would come to stay with us, we do ask for as much info/'their 'stuff' as you can bring/provide regarding your pets normal/routine at their home, commands, tricks, toys, food, bedding... etc so your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time here, and so we can keep them in as much of a similar framework as their home. The Rover site allows for pics and videos. So, we like to take a few during their stay and send them to owners! Our current stay and past stays have really enjoyed this! Prior to you or us making a decision on your pets stay, we would like for you all and your pet to visit our home. This will allow you to see and get a sense of our neighborhood and home - where your pet will be staying, and meet us! I hope this has been helpful for you!
About: I'm a very passionate person when it comes to animals. Especially dogs. I have had over 9 years personal experience pet sitting and dog walking. I believe in a very personal approach when it comes to caring for dogs. So getting to know each client, and there specific personalities is very important to me. Playtime and running are also very important to all dogs. So a good run is something I like to emphasize and do with the clients. Diet is also important as well. My own dog has a very sensitive stomach, so I'm very focused on each client when it comes to their diets. Most of all I try to love each client equally. Because love is the basis of what I do. Since my pet care is not my full time. The times I would be most available for any walk, check in, or sit. Would be after 4:00pm after I get off. Anytime on the weekends, or if you live close to me I could mornings as well. Pet care is a part time gig for me. I can provide all forms of care for any pet I serve. I like to try and get in at least 2 walks a day for dogs, as well as at least a good 15-20 min of playtime depending on the dog. For cats playtime is also necessary. However depending on the cats needs it varies. On average I like to provide, the exercise, feeding, and play time. I can also handle more then one animal when serving
