“This our third time using Chelsea and she is nothing short of magic. We’ve trusted her in our home. We have trusted her with our most precious fur baby. She’s been kind, loving, on time, professional and someone we can call a friend. Thank you, Chelsea.”
“From the first impression, it was obvious to us how much Annie loves pets and her job. The detailed questions she asked about things that even we haven’t thought about, or the detailed notes she took during our meet and greet assured us our pets will be in good hands. Her professionalism was once again proven to us when she notified us immediately of an issue our dog developed. We’ve already booked her services for our future needs and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Holly was an amazing dog sitter. She constantly kept me updated on the status of my puppies as I enjoyed the day with my family in Disneyland. My puppies are only four months old, too young to be with other dogs and be outside. Holly watched them in our hotel suite because of that. I live in Northern California and it was nice to have someone who cared for my puppies like I would. I highly recommend hiring Holly and I will definitely retain her services in the future.”

“Marco was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule change. We met at my hotel for a quick meet and greet and then stayed in my room while I bounced around the city. He’s punctual, he pays attention and seems like a pretty trustworthy guy. He safely watched my dog sleep (her favorite hobby) and got her out for a quick walk which is all we needed. He has great communication and is quick to respond; also his rates are extremely reasonable for the service. I recommend you reach out to Marco if you need your dog watched while out visiting Disneyland or the greater Anaheim Resort Area.”
“Ally was so wonderful again taking care of Ollie, and she even made the long drive up to our new home when we were in a bind trying to find someone more local for a weekend. Ally sends tons of updates and is very communicative. I highly recommend her!”
“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Jade was amazing. Our baby is a very fearful rescue and Jade came by a few days prior to her visit to get acquainted with Mandi. On the day of the sitting Jade was so patient and even though our little one started out hiding. She eventually was comfortable enough to come out and sit next to Jade. Jade sent many updates and pictures. As we walked Jade out to her car, Mandi followed her like a sheep follows her shepherd. I was so happy to find someone who a was patient with our a scared baby girl. We will definitely be using Jade’s services again. In fact, we already have her booked for another visit.”
“Kelsey was great with Esso and Beatrice! She stayed overnight, took awesome care of them, and we came home to two happy pups. Easy to communicate with and very reliable — would definitely book again.”

I'm patient, reliable, and committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages, so they can have peace of mind while they're away. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Because I'm home during the week, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship.

I introduce pets to new environments at their own pace and always use secure leashes and safe handling practices during walks. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hello, my name is Maira and I’m a life long animal lover. I’ve had all kinds of pets and cared for everything from turtles to fish, hamsters and birds, a rabbit, cats and dogs. Although I love all animals, Dogs are where my heart melts! I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs as well as helped friends and family basic train their small and large breed dogs. I have 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages including my 90lb high energy Doberman which taught me a lot. If you remember one thing from my page I hope it’s this; I will take care of your furry babies as if they were my own. Monday through Friday I am available 6:30am - 6:30pm to care for your furry family. Saturdays and Sundays I am available 7:00am -7:00pm. If you need me outside of this time frame please let me know. During a drop in visit, I let your fur child out for a potty break and ensure they have plenty of water, food, and treats (if you okay the treats before hand) then hang out, play, and love on them for the remainder of the 30mins. During a walk booking, I will pick up your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Which can be part structural and part sniffing to mentally stimulate and not just physically work out. The goal is a happy healthy pupper (and yes a 10 y/o is still a pupper) you will receive photos of our adventures and a message informing you how your baby’s walk went. Rain or Shine! Your Dog’s safety is my top priority. If it’s too hot or it is raining we will alter our walks with either a rain jacket or walking indoors at a near by pet friendly store. I am prepared with towels, plenty of water and a pet first aid kit should we ever need anything.
“Emily did an excellent job caring for Bambino. She kept us informed throughout the day with updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She was attentive, professional, and clearly cared about his well-being. We especially appreciated the detailed progress report she provided at the end of the visit. We would gladly trust her with Bambino again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Excellent job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I’m a big animal lover! I’ve cared for both dogs and cats since I was 10, have dog/cat sat for families, friends and neighbors for over 15 years. I have a very flexible schedule and am always willing to work on your time and make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and taken care of! I'm currently working a remote part-time job and am available any time of the day to walk and care for your dogs. My schedule is very flexible, I'm available early mornings and afternoons as well for those needing to work late. From my own experience with my dog, I know how to crate train a dog. I ensure all possible exits leading outside of the home are closed and locked. Depending on the dogs diet, I'll provide the right amount of food and offer rewards for good behavior with treats (if allowed by the owner). Overall, I make sure the dog feels safe around me and try my best to build a trustworthy relationship.
“Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !”
“Lena was an amazing caregiver for our two dogs while we were out of the country on vacation. She fully demonstrated all the attributes of an exceptional dog sitter— responsible, caring, conscientious, communicative, and nurturing. We would not hesitate to hire her again to watch our dogs and are deeply appreciative of her wonderful care of Remy and Tucker and for also looking after our home while we were gone. Lena is a true gem!”

Kayleen was a gem. Doggie was all upset with us all being gone and she spent lots of time comforting her and making her happy. The house was spotless and the dog was all smiles when we returned. Thank you to her. I highly recommend her and her house sitting / dog caring abilities. She was super responsive when my dog freaked out upon her departure to the store and handled the situation beautifully
We were very happy with Dahlia. We could tell from her updates, photos, and videos how much she really loved our dog. Dahlia played all of Shadow's favorite games, kept to her schedule, and cuddled with her. I think Shadow might actually be happy the next time our family leaves for a vacation because she enjoyed Dahlia so much!
Katherine stayed in our home for 2 weeks with our cat and dog. We were impressed with her work experience, training in pet emergency care and CPR, and her pursuit of further veterinary studies. At the first meeting she was warm and engaging with us and more importantly with our pets. Our 65lb dog Teddy liked her so much he immediately sat next to her on the couch. Katherine was very aware of our pets' needs and spent a lot of time with them playing and taking walks. She also administered ear medication for Teddy twice a day. We got lots of updates and pictures, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our sweet boys were well taken care of.
Chelsea was absolutely incredible. She didn’t just take amazing care of our dog, she took exceptional care of our home as well. From remembering trash day, asking about the gardeners, bringing packages inside, and making sure everything was in order, she thought of every little detail. Walking through the front door after our trip to find our home so well cared for was such a wonderful feeling. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also took my requests seriously, especially about never letting our dog outside alone because of the coyotes in our area. It was clear she genuinely cared about keeping him safe and happy. Chelsea truly went above and beyond in every way. She is kind, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be using her services again in a heartbeat. We are so grateful for everything she did!
Emylie is absolutely wonderful! Very caring with my little baby. She frequently sent me pictures of Freyja and the status of her wellbeing. If you want a lovely human to care for your furry family member, Emylie is your girl. Thank you so much, Emylie for making Freyja feel safe and happy while I was gone. 🙏🏽
Ashley was wonderful in taking care of my 2 mini dachshunds. She communicated frequently with texts and photos of my dogs and was very respectful in my home. My request was super short notice too with only 3 hours before I had to leave town. She saved me in a pinch and I would love to have her back!! Thank you again :)
Marco was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule change. We met at my hotel for a quick meet and greet and then stayed in my room while I bounced around the city. He’s punctual, he pays attention and seems like a pretty trustworthy guy. He safely watched my dog sleep (her favorite hobby) and got her out for a quick walk which is all we needed. He has great communication and is quick to respond; also his rates are extremely reasonable for the service. I recommend you reach out to Marco if you need your dog watched while out visiting Disneyland or the greater Anaheim Resort Area.
Eduardo is a great person and dog sitter. He communicated throughout the stay, came to meet our dogs prior to sitting and took them for walks. He let us know when he was arriving and leaving and took great care of them. Especially our little one that’s a little shy at first. I highly recommend Eduardo for your pets too
Bianca was the perfect dog sitter during my visit to SoCal! This was her second day in a row watching my dog. She communicated well, ensured my dog was entertained, and took her out when needed. Super friendly dog sitter! I highly recommend! Thank you again Bianca!
Highly Recommend Jackie! Jackie was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs! From our very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly conscientious—taking detailed notes about their schedules and asking thoughtful questions to ensure they received the exact care they needed. She provided regular daily updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were wonderfully cared for, but what impressed us most was how she handled our more anxious pup. She usually gets very stressed when the family leaves, but she was completely relaxed, happy, and at ease with Jackie. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Nisa was my life saver! After another walker had ghosted me before a big trip she pulled through on such short notice. She was everything my two boys needed and more. This was my first time leaving my boys overnight but she calmed every nerve with her communication and updates. One of my dogs is extremely reactive with fear based aggression, this was nothing Nisa couldn’t handle! He warmed right up to her and didn’t want to see her go once I returned! As if she wasn’t gift from god before, she was set to leave to work the last day of her visit but after one of my boys unexpectedly threw up she dropped everything to stay with them until I got there several hours later. I cannot thank her enough, it was clear that she really cared for my boys and that’s a gift thats priceless. Please consider booking with Nisa, it’ll be the best decision you can make for your fur babies!
