“I can’t say enough about Chelsea and Richard! Chelsea TRULY took the time to get to know our pup and spent so much time engaging her. She also communicated as to our dogs well-being, activities, eating and sleep habits. This was so reassuring. Chelsea just goes above and beyond and is the very best caregiver!! Thank you for taking care of our baby!!”

“I have used Lena several times now for house sitting and she is always attentive and gives excellent updates. She clearly loves animals and my fluffs enjoy the time they have with her.”

“Kaylynn stayed overnight and took wonderful care of my two BIG strong breed dogs- Pitt Bull and Bull terrier. —-she loves animals! Also took great care of my home and cleaned dogs dishes. Highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of three cats since I was 10 and one dog for a short time. Been responsible for vet visits, bathing and feedings. I currently work till 4pm M-F so I'm looking forward to spending my afternoons interacting with your pets! Weekdays after 4pm and anytime on Saturday's and Sundays! I will follow any feeding, bathing, walking, etc. schedule provided by and in clients home. I can also help with crate or any additional trainings needed.
About: I'm a dedicated dog owner myself so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I'm patient, attentive e and committed to making every walk safe, fun and stress free. I treat every dog like family. I balance my work schedule with pet care and always make time to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I carefully plan my days to ensure each dog receives safe, enjoyable walks and consistent attention. On walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level. I always follow the owner’s routine and make sure pets return home happy and well cared for.
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.
“Katrina is so kind and thoughtful. We were so happy with how our home and pup were cared for while we were away on vacation. Katrina sent lots of photos, and is quick and easy to communicate with. We’ll be booking again!”

“Vyanh is a wonderful dog sitter. She sat for us for 3 days. She is responsible, punctual, kind, reliable, cleans most important our pups loved her. I will be requesting her services again. She provided updates and made an effort to walk our pups, play with them and connect with them!”

“Jenn is absolutely amazing. I am a nervous wreck when it comes to leaving my babies but she is a complete professional who also treated them with the love that I could only hope for. I will use her for every trip that she is available for. Very very grateful to find her on this app.”
“This is the 2nd time I have used Kristen and I’m so happy that I found here. My pups are my babies and I hate leaving them but she made me feel okay about leaving them. She sent me check in photos daily and made sure to follow our schedule. Thank you Kristen ❤️”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Jingying! She took amazing care of our two puppies, Raina and Emma, while we were away for 10 days. Raina, our older girl, needs extra attention and daily medication, and Jingying handled her care with such patience, compassion, and attentiveness. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Emma, our younger pup, is full of energy, and Jingying made sure she had plenty of playtime and love too. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we came home, both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Jingying is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“We are so happy we found Annie! From the very thorough meet and greet to booking her for a house sit, it has all been wonderful. She’s very professional, reliable, and my dog loves her.”

“Katrina was wonderful! She stayed at our home with our pets for the weekend. Excellent communication and sent lots of cute pictures too! I recommend her and will also be using her in the future.”


“Magdalena take such amazing care of our dogs. You can tell they love when she comes to visit! She makes sure they have food water and plenty of exercise and play time. We highly recommend her if you are looking for an amazing service.”

“Tracy was absolutely wonderful! Our pets loved her and she took great care of both them and our home. She left our home clean and even took care of an ant infestation we had while we were away! She sent us updates with pictures of how the pets were doing while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their pets!”


“We’ve never had our dog stay with anyone who wasn’t family so we were extremely nervous. Kelsey kept me updated everyday with pictures and how he was doing. Our house came back even cleaner than we left it. And our dog was so happy when we came back. I highly recommend Kelsey!!”

We loved having Lucy as our dog sitter while we were gone on vacation! She took great care of the dogs, and our home, while we were gone. She also sent me lots of photos of them to keep me updated on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you Lucy!

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.

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

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.
