“Zeni was great! She took excellent care of Penny while we were out of town. She sent lots of photos and provided daily updates on how everything was going. We will certainly use her again if she is available :)”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Experienced Caregiver. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, raising everything from birds and turtles to cats and dogs. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two gorgeous cats (ages 8 and 4) who mean the world to me. For the past several years, I have channeled my passion into professional pet sitting, hands-on shelter volunteering, and fostering—including raising a lively 4-month-old Doberman puppy. I have a massive heart for all animals and promise to treat your pets with the exact same deep love, safety, and dedicated care that I give my own. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Right now, I have the luxury of a completely open schedule! Since I’m currently between jobs, my days revolve entirely around pet care. Whether your cat or dog needs a mid-day play session, early morning feedings, or late-night cuddles, I can easily fit into their established routine. This flexibility also means I’m highly responsive and available for short-notice requests or extended daytime stays. Safety & Peace of Mind Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Thanks to my background volunteering in animal shelters and fostering, I am highly attuned to animal behavior and body language. I know how to spot stress early and ensure a calm, secure environment. My own home is entirely cat-proofed, smoke-free, and tailored to the comfort of my two resident cats. Whether in your home or mine, I am meticulous about keeping doors secure, maintaining strict hygiene (especially with litter boxes), and following your exact safety instructions. You will receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you never have to worry.

“Denise is a friendly, pet conscious person. She arrived on-time and we had a wonderful meet and greet … the pups loved her immediately. During her visit, Denise sent me pictures of the pups and took very good care of them… This gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would recommend Denise’s service for any pet owner.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Labrador from the time I was born until I was around 10 years old, and since then I have had two other dogs, including a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix and a Border Collie mix. Because of this, I have experience with different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from large dogs that need strong handling to active dogs that need plenty of attention and playtime. I have also dog sat for family and friends before, so I understand how important it is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I will always check in frequently with updates, make sure your dog is fed on schedule, take time to play with them, and give them the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. I am home for the summer from UCSD and currently shadowing a doctor, but I am able to work my schedule around what is best for dog or cat sitting. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually make most times work. I will always communicate clearly if I have something planned on a certain day, and I will make sure we figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I will make sure they are cared for, supervised, and given plenty of attention while you are away. I am comfortable playing with pets, throwing tennis balls or toys, taking dogs on walks, letting them outside, and watching them closely while they are out. I will always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule, so I will make sure they are fed on time and cared for in a safe, responsible, and loving environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, as well as my own and my families dogs. I love playing, walking, talking, petting, and even swimming with dogs. I’m honestly very patient with pets and I make sure to keep an eye on their body language and passive signals to make sure they are content. I’m currently working a part-time job and I wanted to incorporate more time outside and activity into my life, what better way to do that then taking care of animals! I will give your pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me, create that bond. I believe I have a great read on dogs and what they might want next. I will comfort them and love them as much as they possibly want. I will also keep you updated as much as you’d like!

About: Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. Your fur babies deserve all the attention and love and I'm here to make sure they recieve that! I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, transporting pets to veterinary appointments, monitoring their health, and communicating any concerns promptly with owners. Beyond basic pet care, I have experience with bathing, brushing, nail trimming, feeding routines, potty training reinforcement, and helping young puppies and kittens adjust to new environments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and attention I provide. I don't see pets as just animals—I treat every fur baby like a member of my own family. Whether it's playtime, cuddles on the couch, long walks, enrichment activities, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives individualized care tailored to their needs. My goal is for pet parents to have complete peace of mind knowing their beloved companion is being cared for by someone who genuinely adores animals and treats them with the same love, patience, and dedication they would receive at home. I strive to create an experience where both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and excited to book with me again. I work full time however I’m free on Tuesday and Wednesday. On those days, I can come over play/house sit your pet, give them bathes, feed them, and make sure they’re taken care of. I can also take them out on walks. Since I only offer house sitting in your home, precautions/rules that you set in place for your pet will be what is enforced. I will make sure to constantly keep an eye on your pet, record anything going on to inform you, make sure they don’t hurt themselves, and keep the gate up (if there is any)

“I’ve had Karly stay at my apartment with my cat multiple times and they made me feel like my cat was taken care of.”

“Emily has looked after my girl Lola on multiple occasions now, and I really cannot fault her at all. She has been super flexible and understanding with timings, communication with her is always easy, and we’ve come home to a happy Lola every single time. I can’t thank Emily enough - she’s a true gem!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around and animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am willing to learn and adapt to taking care of each individual dog as needed to fulfill any needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving and caring for them. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies as young as just a few days old. I am currently available full time during the summer for any drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home I would love to take your babies for walks, to the dog park, or anything else that is a part of their normal routine to make them more comfortable!

“May was an awesome sitter! Our two dogs took to her instantly. She provided lots of updates and pics and videos and did everything we asked. If we are ever in the area again we will def use her services.”

“Very sweet and conscientious care for my sometimes ornery shepherd. She managed my pup perfectly on the two walks she took and I found her sincere and charming. I would definitely recommend Danielle and plan to ask her to care for my pup again.”

Constance B.

“Amanda was absolutely amazing with Bailey! She took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Bailey was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!”

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies 😁🩵 My day job is super flexible so everyday looks a little different for me.

The more instructions the better I can tailor my visit to your pets!!!!

“Nita watched my dog/housesat for over two weeks, while I was on vacation with my family. She did a great job. She provided me with daily updates and pictures and was great at communicating with me regarding any issues, concerns, and overall updates. My house was in perfect order when I returned as well. Thank you for an amazing job! I would definitely rebook with Nita.”

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.
