“Jeffrey has been a great help to us when traveling. He's cared for our dogs, cats, chickens, and even helped with watering some plants while we're gone during a heat wave. He is my go to for pet assistance when we go out of town.”

“Jessica did a great job! This was my 2nd time using her. We had a last minute emergency and she was able to step in and take care of our kitty immediately. Will definitely book again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Zoe made me feel comfortable from the moment she accepted the request on the app. My dog Brutus loved having her stop in to check on him a couple times a day - especially when he could be chatty and snuggle with her. We will definitely be contacting Zoe for future stays with Bru! Thanks for taking such great care of our boy!”

About: I treat every dog like my own. Having had two dogs and growing up with dogs, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure and cared for. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and love keeping up with playful, high-energy pups too. I’m comfortable following routines, reinforcing training, and giving extra attention when needed. You’ll get consistent updates so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands. I work full time. So my availability varies but I am open to working things out! I have some flexibility and can also be available before and after work My approach to house sitting is all about consistency, attention, and trust. I maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar space. With hands-on experience from owning two pets and a lifetime around animals, I’m confident managing a wide range of personalities and needs. I stay attentive to behavior, provide regular engagement and care, and ensure your home stays clean and secure. Clear communication and daily updates are always part of my service.

“Stacy took such good care of our kitten, Kona, while we were away. It was our first time leaving her alone and Stacy made sure we felt as comfortable as possible, sending us multiple updates per day with details on how she was doing and photos. She made sure she got lots of playtime in and kept her food, water and litter fresh. She took care of our baby just as she would her own. Highly recommend!”

“Accepted my request for a last minute drop in visit. She was patient with my dog who is terrified of being around strangers when I’m not around. I just wish she didn’t let my dog pee on my couch 🙃”


About: I’ve been animal-obsessed forever. I briefly planned to be a vet… until I discovered how temperatures are taken and quickly pivoted to professional pet spoiler. I’m the friend everyone calls for reliable dog sitting and cat sitting, and I treat every pet like my own (nicknames absolutely included). I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your house rules, and big on clear communication with photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. After fostering a dozen pups, I had my first foster fail in 2014 when Stevie came home for good. He’s now my geriatric chihuahua, living his best life fueled by naps, Greenies, and prime sunbathing real estate. Your pet will get the same loving, attentive care! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule much of the week, which allows me to give pets in my care plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about structuring my time around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always aim to keep each pet on their normal routine to minimize stress. Because I share my home with a senior chihuahua, I’m especially attuned to comfort, safety, and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or extra cuddle time, I build pet care into my week so every animal gets reliable, loving attention. I keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walk, medication, and care instructions — right down to favorite toys and nicknames. I treat every client’s home with great respect and always keep things clean and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and I stay very attentive to your pet’s comfort, safety, and energy level. With my fostering experience and senior pet background, I’m patient, observant, and quick to flag anything that seems off. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
“I can’t recommend Christian enough. He’s been amazing with my dogs…so caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to their needs. You can tell he really loves what he does, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. He’s also super reliable and flexible, which has been a huge help for me, especially when I’ve needed someone on short notice. It gives me total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dogs like their own, he’s the one. My dogs and family love him!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have about 4 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood, while keeping their routine consistent. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure each dog gets the care, playtime, and attention they need 🤍🐾 I’m currently available in the mornings and on weekends, especially Sundays. While I don’t work from home, I make sure to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet during my availability. My schedule allows me to be consistent and reliable for walks, check-ins, and quality care 🐶✨ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always create a calm and secure environment and follow any instructions you provide. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routine. I also prefer to do a meet & greet before the first booking to make sure your dog feels comfortable and everything is a good fit for both of us 🐾✨

“Emily was such a great hep during this crazy week with our dog! She made sure Kenai was super happy and always sent great updates about her status! I can’t tell you how much of a great help she was to our family. Thank you again Emily!”

“Rachel was was great. She came to our house to do two drop in visits for our chickens over spring break. She made sure they had food and water and collected the eggs. Rachel sent lots of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Thanks again!”

“Cayley is amazing and my pup LOVES her! She is so kind and so accommodating. I highly recommend her without any reservation. I felt completely comfortable with Cayley walking and checking in on my Golden.”

About: All my life I have loved and cared for the dogs and cats in my family! I may have even been the instigator of all of them being brought into our family. ;) I have worked with a variety of dogs ranging from Shepards to precious three legged mystery origin dogs! I’ve been seriously house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking for two years. I care for other people's animals like I do for my own. They are always a priority for me. I am responsible, dependable, and easy to work with. I will do anything to keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy! I'm new to the area. I have a lot of free time to care for other people's animals! I am highly flexible and happy to work with your schedule. I am unable to provide boarding for animals where I am living at the moment. But I am able and willing to come to you to take care of your pets. House and pet sitting are my main areas of experience! Anything I am asked to do or rules to follow in other peoples homes I abide by. I will treat your home and space with the care and respect I would expect others to have in my home. This also applies to any guidelines or rules for walking. I am also highly prone to lots of serious animal snuggles when they are wanted. :)
“We’re so grateful to have found Meghan! She watched our dog for a week, and we came home to a happy dog! She sent detailed updates each visit, played fetch with him, gave treats & made sure he was happy before leaving each visit! We have already booked her for our next trip!!”

About: 🥰 Now retired from Corporate America- I finally get to do what I love!! If you’re looking for Quality, Responsible and Experienced care for your pets- look no further! I have 45+ years experience with dogs, cats and horses. 🐴 🐈 🐶 Prior Volunteer @Agoura Animal Shelter I’ve been in love with pets since I was born. I’ve had many dogs over the years. I was raised with Dobermans, and had 2 of my own as an adult, in addition to a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab mix, 2 Min Pins and now, a Terrier/mix rescued from the meat trade in So. Korea. I’ve had one or more cats at a time since the day I was born (feral), and at one point, we rescued a pregnant kitty that had 4 kittens, which we kept and all lived long and cherished lives. My last kitty, “Little Girl”, was found by the grooms at the barn @ 3 weeks old. She was so wild, that she chewed the nipple off the bottle, and the Vet said it would never work! She recently passed at 19 years old, from CKD/Hyperthyroidism, which we both valiantly fought for 4 yrs. She was my soul cat- that I will miss for the rest of my life.💔 I’m an Equestrian- Horses are my passion! I’ve competed and owned horses for over 30 years, and have extensive knowledge of their care. I’m Insured and Pet 1st Aid/CPR Certified. I have experience medicating pets (ie:cats with Hyperthyroidism/CKD, etc dogs with pancreatitis, etc). Specialize in Senior pets. I know what it’s like to have to leave your beloved fur-babies home, especially if they aren’t feeling well! Whether they’re in tip top health, or in need of a little extra attention due to a medical condition, You can rest assured, that they will have the best care! I’m home full time now, and so available to meet the commitment and responsibilities of caring for your special fur-babies. Because feeding/walking and playing take time and attention- and every pet has its own unique and individual needs, sometimes they just need a little extra love and companionship❤️ Safety is my #1 priority! I will always ensure that your pets are safe, your home is secure and there is nothing within reach that could cause them harm. Additionally, walks are always done considering the environment, other pets and their proximity to your pet and the demeanor of both. No risks are ever taken.

Leaving our cats alone for the first time in a new home was stressful and Alexandra took care of everything! The cats loved her, she kept us informed and provided pictures and also took care of several packages that were left wile we were gone. I can definitely recommend Alexandra and will be using her again.
I can’t recommend Christian enough. He’s been amazing with my dogs…so caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to their needs. You can tell he really loves what he does, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. He’s also super reliable and flexible, which has been a huge help for me, especially when I’ve needed someone on short notice. It gives me total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dogs like their own, he’s the one. My dogs and family love him!
Shaun is amazing! She is very thorough, and at the meet and greet asked questions about things I wouldn’t have thought of. She wanted to make sure she knew all the ins and outs of taking care of my pup. Her updates with each drop in visit were perfect. She provided the usual details, but also included little things that made me know my dog was in good hands. Knowing my dog was nervous with new people, she let me know that my dog was warming up to her and coming out of her shell. It was just what I wanted to hear to help ease my mind. I will definitely book Shaun again next time I need a sitter!

Martha was great!! Would definitely recommend her. The animals were taken care of perfectly and they looked so happy in all the photos. She Made our trip away that much more enjoyable knowing that our fur babies were in great hands. Will be using her service again. Thanks Martha!!!
We have had Juan take care of our two cats five times and we don’t even consider hiring anybody else because he is the best! He and his girlfriend take great care of our cats and our home by providing us updates and adorable pictures of our cats. They even take the time to play with our cats, feed them treats, pet them, and ensure the house is safe. From the start, they’ve been great with receiving information about taking care of our cats and are very polite and adaptable when receiving new updates. We’ve been very grateful for them and would highly recommend!

I hired Daniela for an initial meet and greet with my dog to see if she’d be a good fit. She was on time and professional. She was confident and assertive with my dog which is important considering the breed is a cane corso. She seemed trustworthy and will be hired as an option for drop in visits moving forward.

We are so glad Tracey was available to take care of our pups while we were visiting Simi Valley and had a day at the Reagan Library planned without them. Tracey quickly figured out our dogs' favorite activities (the old one is a cuddler and the youngster is fetching obsessed). She was also great with us people providing prompt communication, darling photos, and showing up dependably. Definitely recommend her!
