“This is my second time booking with Amanda for my two kitties and I’m so glad I did! She’s super detailed with the report cards and took the cutest pictures. Will definitely be booking again as I always know my girls are on good hands with Amanda”


“Emily once again took amazing care of our two cats! She manages to get photos of our shy cat and plays with the rambunctious one. Our cats never seem lonely after her visits--which is so wonderful.”


“Amanda was an attentive and communicative pet sitter, who provided support when our regular drop-in dog person was out of town. I have a selective chihuahua mix and he loved her! Thank you!”


“Vasiliki has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She not only took excellent care of my cats, but also handled a very challenging situation with a new kitten and my cat. Her patience and gentle approach made a world of difference during this sensitive introduction period. She kept me updated every day with thoughtful messages and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such caring hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds since I was young. I always had a special place in my heart to care for animals. It is my passion in the future to be able to become a vet. I’m currently in college (strictly) online and have a part time job but i’m pretty much free all day so i’m available whenever needed :) By taking precaution and getting to know these animals. Always watching these animals is number one in my book to have a safe and trusting environment

About: Treat your cat as though you would a dog! Give it structure. Give it attention. Give it affection. Give it routine. I will learn your pets patterns of behavior and help make their time without you very enjoyable. I am an author that is currently working on a book, so I have a lot of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention and affection they need! It is all about building trust with both dogs and cats. I will take the time to get to know your pets and win their hearts and minds!

About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now my own boss. Hoping to rescue another poodle soon <3 I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I will only be walking dogs or doing home sitting; I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.

About: I'm a part-time college student, But I manage to take care of your loving fur babies while I'm off of school right now. Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I'm on break from school, so I can have more time to take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop time. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

“Bethany is awesome!! I contacted her rather last minute to check in on my skittish cat while I was away for an extended trip. She replied super quickly and we were able to schedule a meeting. My cat is fairly shy, but Bethany took the time and attention to form a bond with him. I would definitely book her again, as she has a lovely personality as well as a wonderful way with animals. Thank you, Bethany! ?”


About: I’ve had a fur baby since the age of 11 and have taken care of dogs from birth to being a senior. I love fur babies and will treat them as if they were mine! I’m off on the weekends from work so would be able to give your baby all the love and time that i can give out I live in a apartment but am able to take your dog out in the grass area to use restroom and take for walks out.

About: I would also like to note that I have experience in keeping and caring for large breed dogs, such as the shepherds, as well as medium and small breed dogs. I can work with several animals at the same time. I am also an expert in maintaining healthy dog nutrition, which allows me to use this knowledge, for example, in the postoperative period or a number of diets after illnesses, as well as when the animal refuses to eat due to stress or other circumstances. I this regard. I have the opportunity to prepare a balanced feed that allows you to fully restore the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, and also helps the pet to come to a state of calm and relaxation. In turn, I can guarantee that your pets will find in me a wonderful and loving friend, and you an impeccable assistant who will keep home in perfect order during your absence. My clients come from various fields of activity. But they all agree that I am the best worker in the animal care industry. As a result of long-term and close interaction with me over several years, my clients unconditionally acknowledge the fact that an unconditional trusting contact is established between me and their animals, filled with love and mutual understanding. This allows my clients to have complete peace of mind and confidence that their pets are in a completely comfortable and protected environment filled with love and care while they are away.My clients also emphasize the high level of trust in me, as well as my highest professional and human qualities, such as honesty, integrity, sincerity, kindness and responsiveness. The ability to quickly react to a situation and recognize the needs of a pet, attention to detail, as well as unconditional love for pets. All of the above naturally leads to complete mutual understanding and trust at the highest level. I look forward to meeting your pets to give them endless love, happiness, surround them with love and attention, so that in every minute of your absence your pets feel only warmth and peace. I work exclusively in my clients homes because i believe that being in an unfamiliar environment can be stressful for a pet, unlike being in a home environment.

About: I’ve rescued animals all my life on my own and with organizations and owned a boarding kennel for 15 years until retirement. Lots of experience. I am retired and love being in the company of animals in any fashion. Their happiness and comfort is my primary goal, whatever that entails. I will follow your guidelines on how to care for your fur baby to the letter. I know that activity, food and love are what’s important.

About: I grew up having dogs in the home and am currently a mommy to 2 kitties. I am truly happiest around pets. I love animals and getting to know their personalities. I have a flexible WFH schedule working with humans currently and I love connecting with animals in my free time as it helps me recharge I’ve attended training classes with past pets and am able to use skills learned to help with common and some uncommon behaviors up to 100 lbs. I can walk multiple dogs without any issues, can crate, and redirect dogs with gentle commands


“Amanda is great! She gave my cat daily drop-in visits for a week while I was out of town, and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She is very nice, professional and responsible. All around a very positive experience!”


About: Hello! I am a local mom of four, not including my 1 year old mini dachshund, our beardie & 2 tree frogs. With a home full of kids pets are a must have because they bring so much joy 🥰. I didn’t have dogs until my adult life, but I grew up with cats. I’ll never forget my dad letting me pick out a kitten and bring her home. It was a huge milestone to have a little life to take care of & a memory I’ll never forget. Now we have our mini dachshund, and she is the sweetest girl. Training her & raising her has been so much fun for us this past year. I am available for drop ins and walks for your pets (open to almost all pets- don’t be shy to ask). I’m trustworthy, responsible and easy going. I’m just an honest mom with a busy schedule (school + sports) who needs flexible work I can do in the midst of all the things! I also may not mind last minute needs- again, don’t be shy to reach out. Would love to meet you & see if I can help you fill in the gaps with your pet care needs! I am home most weekdays taking my kids here and there. So I have a lot of random gaps in my schedule that I’d love to fill with walks / drop ins. My evenings and weekends are pretty open at the moment. I may occasionally have one of my kids with me, so if your animal isn’t good with children please specify so I know not to bring them :). I do not offer boarding or overnights in your home at this time. If good rapport develops over time that could be discussed in the future. Safety is my top priority, I know we love our fur babies like children & I will love yours like they are my own.

About: I have 8 years of experience of caring for my pet Red Eared Slider turtle Speedy, but I also dog sit for friends on occasion. I love spending time with animals including taking dogs on walks and playing with them when they have zoomies! I just graduated from UC Berkeley and am back home with lots of free time that I would love to spend caring for your pups and cats! I have no work commitments this summer (taking it easy until I start graduate school in Irvine this September) and so I’d love to spend lots of time, week and weekends, caring for your pets. I will be traveling occasionally over the next months, but otherwise am very free almost any day and any time to help where I am needed! I will talk with you in detail to discuss exactly what you need from me to feel safe about my caring for your pets, but I live in a very safe and comfy home that your pet will love! If I am house sitting/checking in on your pet at home, I am extremely careful with keeping doors closed, keeping an eye on your pet at all times, and watching to make sure your pet is comfortable.

Olesia A.
“Olesia was such a pleasure to work with, and I completely trusted her to look after my two cats, Cheeto and Olive. She was punctual, safe with my animals and my home, and did a wonderful job keeping them fed, calm, and happy. She played with them, monitored the litter box (never a fun job), and followed their feeding schedule exactly how I asked. She left everything better than when she came in, and asked questions if she needed clarification or help. She was easy and personable to work with, and is very kind. You can tell she loves animals. I have had her take care of my cats at least 3 times now, she is amazing!”
