“We LOVE Lindsey! She has such a sweet, calm energy that our big babies (two 90 pound Pitbulls) absolutely loved. We’re so grateful to have found her, and will absolutely be reaching back out to her on our next travel. Oh, she also sent pictures every day, and checked in with us without us asking. She was absolutely fantastic! Thank you Lindsey!”

“From the first time my dog and I met Cassandra, I knew he’d be in good hands immediately and she proved that today. She house sat for me and took care of Riley and when she arrived, was very attentive to the care he required and that made me feel at ease entrusting him to her while I was away. She will definitely be my go to sitter moving forward and should be yours too!!”

“Bridget was amazing! I felt that I could trust her right away. She was very responsive and punctual, and my babies loved her right away! She left the house spotless and followed all instructions perfectly. Would highly recommend!!”

“Andrea is the absolute best! I knew it was a great sign when my vocal dog didn’t bark at her once and my shy dog hopped right up on the couch for a pet. Andrea’s relaxed and confident energy was a perfect fit for my pups (and for me, honestly). On top of that, it was so nice to arrive back to a tidied up home after an hectic trip. Andrea exceeded our expectations and we’ll absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”


“We’ve used Shauna multiple times and she’s nothing short of amazing. She’s attentive, personable and loving to our fur family members. We trust her. The only downside to giving her the 5 star rating (which she deserves), is others booking her when we would like to use her! She’s fantastic.”

“Elizabeth did an amazing job! This is the first time I’ve had a pet sitter. My cat had a wound and a cone and no one except my mom has ever watched my dog. So, I was a little nervous. But, Elizabeth’s sweet spirit put me at ease. She sent me pictures of my cat’s wound so I could see the progress and pictures of my dog when she walked him. She also sent additional periodic pictures and gave me updates. Elizabeth was very thorough and truly cared about doing the best job possible. My house was immaculate when I came home. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for her!”

“Zeni was great. She took wonderful care of our dog for a whole week while we were away. She was also very communicative, sending us daily updates. We look forward to working with her again and would definitely recommend her to anybody!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week. I have completed the shelters Fear Free training that teaches how to recognize and alleviate Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets. The training touches on how to read animal body language, low stress handling techniques, environmental and protocol modifications. I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I currently work part-time. My schedule consist of working M,W,F at 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and T,Th at 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. I am not scheduled at my day job on the weekends. So on Saturday and Sunday I am available for constant care. I can house sit, do drop in’s, and walks 7 days a week. But on weekdays I will be out 4-5 hours a day due to my work schedule. I will always respect clients boundaries. I understand the importance of leaving the place in good condition and cleaning up after myself. Most importantly sending updates to the owners on how their pets are doing. I also understand the importance of the big responsibility it is to care for my clients pets. I will always treat them as my own, with compassion, care, love and respect.

About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I am the biggest dog lover ever!! I truly think they are a gift to the world and I would be honored to help give your pup some lovin! I have grown up with dogs my entire life, including all rescue pups from a variety of backgrounds. I have quite a bit of experience dealing with elderly and ill dogs as well as puppies and fearful/reactive rescue animals! I have life long experience with dog walking, feeding, bathing, training, etc and I consistently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I have learned to create trust and care with fearful, traumatized, and aggressive dogs. I love love love animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care always. I’m a college student at CSULB studying public relations, I also work front desk at a spa! This means I have a much different schedule than many working professionals and am often extremely flexible with my schedule! I am often available during weekday morning, afternoons, etc when many people are at work. I am happy to care for your pet in whichever way you feel is needed for you and your fur baby. I can crate animals if needed or let them have free range if that is what works the best for you! I know that every pet and family are different so I am more than happy to do whatever feels best for you!

“We have a last minute cancellation so we were a bit stressed but Miranda jumped in and saved the day! Very responsive and took great care of our senior pup. We will definitely be using Miranda in the future!”

“It was the first time we left our puppy and we were so nervous. Brendan was incredibly communicative and sent us so many pictures & videos over the 3 days that made us feel at ease. It also looked like our puppy was having the time of her life with him! Can't recommend him enough!”

“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”

About: I've always had a strong love for animals. Whether soft or scaly, feathered or fluffy, animals make life special and more meaningful. My love for pets started with a cat, then a hamster, more cats, dogs, and a fish here and there... Nowadays you’ll probably find me with my two orange cats and a Scooby Doo dog. In addition to drop-ins and sittings, my pet/animal care experience includes volunteering at PetSmart and the SPCA of Long Beach. It’s been a joy to care for all the many pets and animals throughout my life! I work full time Monday through Friday but am open some weeknights after 5pm. I’m also available on some weekends and holidays. My pet care routine includes feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. I love feeding and giving them treats, playing, and going for walks. I also love downtime and cuddling. I will follow your care instructions, be respectful of your home, and provide detailed updates on how your pet is doing.

Jack is an incredible dog sitter! I was nervous about leaving my long-haired, diva dachshund, Roxana, for a couple of nights because the last time I left her she was sad and defiant, waiting for me. Jack eased my worries immediately. He is personable, flexible, and extremely engaged. He managed her sun exposure and health needs perfectly—including all of her dietary supplements and medication. He also sent cute, high-quality updates that captured her spirit. The photos were reassuring and lovely. He even learned the names of all her neighborhood dog amigos. She also bonded with him really quickly which she refused to do with her last dog sitter. I will definitely book him again!

Once again, Shauna took such great care of my beloved pets while I was away. My pup is always so happy to see her and she looks happy from the pics Shauna sent. Even my cat who usually just hides trusts her enough to come out of hiding and receive Shauna’s love & attention. The house is spotless and pets are happy calm healthy when I return. Shauna is the best!! I’m now scheduling my travel around her schedule.
Bridget is always reliable and communicative. My new kitty warmed up to her as soon as she came! My furbabies always love having her around. Bridget always leaves the house clean and follows all instructions to a tee. It’s so nice to feel comfortable and at ease when I travel.

Caleb has been an excellent sitter both times for our pup Cooper, kept me updated on his status and was fast with his responses. The dog likes him and so do I. Anytime I am out of town I will be looking to use his services should he be available. I highly recommend him should you find yourself ever in need for a sitter.

Holly was great!! My cat requires twice daily medication and right before my trip decided that he wasn’t going to eat it in a treat anymore…If you’re ever had to medicate a cat that doesn’t want medication, you know it’s no easy task! Holly was amazing with troubleshooting and trying to make it a positive experience for him. She left our house even better than we left it. I would highly recommend!

Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.

Seth is absolutely amazing! I always trust my pup, Bradley is going to be well cared for when I book with Seth. On top of that he is so communicative and leaves your place very tidy and clean! I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting/walking/drop in needs if you are in Long Beach/Belmont Shore. Thank you Seth!!!
