“Shelli is a pet sitter's pet sitter! She took incredible care of our doggo, who was recovering from leg surgery just under two weeks prior to our trip. She followed his care instructions perfectly, keeping him healthy and happy. She even handled a tricky door lock with no problem and kept our house running smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again.”


“Kate spent a week taking care of our dog, Oliver, while my husband and I were on vacation. We came home to find a happy, healthy puggle. Kate was great about sending us updates. We will definitely use Kate's services again in the future!”


“Amir overnighted with my 2 large neurotic dogs over New Years. He was super attentive to specific meds and feeding regimes, as well as their PTSD with fireworks and noise. I felt confident leaving them to Amir and came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Recommend!”


“Pearl stayed in my home and watched over my dog and cat. She was very communicative during the stay and sent me lots of photos and videos, which I appreciated. I would definitely ask Pearl to sit for me again.”

About: I’m a college graduate from the University of Southern California who specializes in dog walking and in-home sitting. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a quick walk around the block or overnight care, I give each dog my full attention and care. I'm reliable, and always follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. Your dog will enjoy personalized care, daily exercise, and plenty of affection. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of time on my hands. I have very flexible hours right now and would be willing to work with your dogs schedule. I’ll walk your dog around your neighborhood or drive them to parks and trails for fun, active walks they’ll love. I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.

“Showed up last minute to save the day and went above and beyond for us! We definitely hope to book Brianna again soon! She sent updates throughout and even left late when plans didn't go as hoped! Thank you Brianna!”


“John did a wonderful job overnight house sitting for my 2 cats and Husky. While my fur babies are all fairly independent, they need and want a human presence at all times. John did great being there for them and keeping me up to date on their daily shenanigans.”


“Bethany was attentive, kind, and a wonderful communicator. My little Ripley was happy and calm with I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Bethany as well as request her services again. Wonderful pet sitter!”



About: Hi, I'm Abby! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and I've been taking care of pets in various settings (in-home, daycare, boarding, dog-walking) for more than ten years. I specialize in multiple-pet households, but whether you have one pet or five, rest assured they'll each receive the best care possible. I'm extremely detailed (I love a comprehensive info sheet!), and I ask the right questions up front, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and energy to devote to your pets. I prefer to work weekdays, Monday-Friday, but I am also available for longer in-home stays over the weekend with enough notice. I take your pet's health and safety very seriously, which is why I make sure I understand not only what their immediate needs are (food, water, exercise, enrichment), but also what potential stressors might be (loud noises, other animals, etc.). I gather as much information as I can up front, so I can anticipate your pet's needs as they arise. Knowing where the cleaning materials, trash, emergency numbers, and security items (crate, leash, carrier) are in your home gives ME peace of mind and makes my job that much easier. Once I have all the info I need, while you're gone, I can check back in with you as much or as little as you prefer -- I'm happy to send updates throughout the day, or I'm just as happy to take care of things myself and provide a summary when you return. Either way, I make sure both you and your pet(s) enjoy your time away!

“Jordan did an excellent job watching our pup! We initially booked her for one day of house-sitting, but when our plans changed and we needed a second day, Jordan was ready to help us. We set up a meet and greet and Jordan was very communicative during the booking process. Throughout her sitting days, she kept us updated with texts and pictures of our pup and even did some household cleaning like doing some dishes and taking out the trash! We were impressed by Jordan's attention to detail and care for our pup, and we highly recommend her.”


“Kyle watched our pups for us for a long period while we traveled to Europe. We got daily updates with photos. Our dogs looked so happy. He gave them plenty of exercise, down time and enrichment. We will definitely hire Kyle again. Thank you!”


“Kelsi is great! She stayed at my home with my pup all day while I was out of town. She sent me updates and pictures of my pup which I really appreciated. She did great following his routine and accommodating to my pups behaviors. Overall Kelsi is kind and caring and I’m hoping to book her again soon!”


“Hannah stayed with our 3 dogs for 6 nights and we came home to healthy, happy dogs and our house in the same condition we left it in. Hannah sent regular updates and asked questions as needed. We were able to relax and feel confident our pets were getting the care and attention they deserved. Thank you, Hannah!”



“Amanda has great communication and was on time. She sent me updates with pictures during her stay with our pups. Definitely beyond satisfied with her service. Thanks Amanda!”


About: I love dogs of every type and have been a dog owner and advocate for over 20 years. Same for kitties. Some people call me a whisperer :) I'm the person who meets all my neighbors because of walking the dogs, I know the animals names first before the people :) I have been dog sitting/caring for years; often too with friends who also are pet owners, to help each other. All three of my doggies passed away within a year and half of each other. I'll eventually be a dog mom again, and mine have always been very social, sweet and good with other dogs. But if your doggie likes the company of other dogs, I've got you covered! I have close friends with dogs (ours played all the time) and can have doggie playdates and go to the dog park (on leash) if your doggie likes that. I'll watch your doggies in my house or yours. I have dog beds, blankets, treats, toys, even stairs/ramp if they need help getting on things. They are allowed on furniture unless, you don't allow it at your house. I don't get upset by any potty accidents or if they get sick. My place is cozy, doggies always know they're in a doggie home. They know by my voice - and box of toys :) Walks, hikes, playtime. I'm diligent about whatever your fur baby(s) need - diet, medication /topical treatments, how they are around people and animals, what they like/helps them the most. Adapt easily to their needs - cuddles or not, pets, belly rubs, whatever :) I can bathe them, take them on field trips to the beach, park if they like that. I have a lot of friends who host dog-friendly parties. I keep them on your schedule. If they do anything different/out of the ordinary, I'll let you know. I'm an excellent communicator, so if you like updates and photos you're all set. I have been involved with rescue for 20 years, working with rescues, as an independent rescuer, fostering. I am very active with the community to help abused and neglected animals, networked on social media. I work in events and remote from home. I also have a dog walker/sitter whose been with me for 9 years. She's a high functioning special needs adult, wonderful with animals, so she will pitch in. Care of your pets is 100% joy. I have a cozy place, that has a enclosed front yard, a three foot wall, with a of shrubs for more than half. They love it. Depending on your dog's size, habits (jumper!) I won't leave them unattended. I have a smaller, completely enclosed back area where they can be unattended but only if I'm home. I live in a great walking neighborhood with lots of dogs; and have really good friends nearby with dogs who love playdates. All my friends are dog lovers too. In either my home or yours, I follow your direction for their care, no 'spoiling ' :) I make homemade food too if yours like that. I can crate them, take them to their appointments. I am devoted to their care, feeling loved while you're away, their needs and routine.

About: My prices are very affordable, because good care for your fur babies should not cost a paw and a tail! I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with chickens, dogs, cats, AND birds. I love animals and I really do believe they are long lost family members! I can work whenever wherever, at your convenience. I am completely free all the time, other then a few classes a day. Please feel free to contact me regarding time’s and days you need me! I live in a apartment conveniently located right by the harbor. I also live near few doggy parks and open land for your fur baby to enjoy. I am currently working part time, however am super flexible with any times you may need! I am available early in the morning, most afternoons, and even super late at night. I care for pets in my home as if they were in your home! I understand how difficult it is to leave your pets while you are away, and I want you to be reassured they are in good hands with me!

“Christiana was a wonderful dog sitter! She is sweet, smart and knows how to care for pups! I am so grateful that she was able to watch Chloe. My pup is an 18 year old pup and has special needs! Christiana was very responsible. I came home to a clean house and a happy pup!”

Andres S.
“Andres is a great friend of mine. He usually takes care of my dogs when I go on vacation for two weeks every summer. I have two german sheppards that are a lot to handle. I never worry about my dogs while Andres is watching them. Also, when my dogs see Andres, they always tend to freak out in excitement which they don’t even do for me. Overall, I 100% recommend Andres to walk or watch my dog.”
