“Bronte looked after our cat Pacho for five days. We got photos and updates after each drop-in visit. It was clear Pacho loved her. Bronte is caring, communicative and trustworthy and I would without hesitation recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Jessica was so flexible with our schedule and was so helpful. She sent so many pictures of our kitty’s and gave us peace of mind while we were gone! Thank you Jessica😁”


About: I have been around dogs all my life. I rescued and raised my own terrier mixes, including my senior dog, Annie who is 12. I have cared for neighbors’ dogs of all sizes. I’ve attended numerous training classes for my own dogs. I love being with dogs and will treat yours like family. I am a school teacher and have weekends and summers off. During the summer I have more availability, mornings, afternoons and evenings. During the school year I am available in the evenings and weekends. I have a small fenced in backyard. My little dog Annie gets along well with other dogs. I walk my her twice a day every day. I understand the importance of a routine, attention and playtime.

“Jennifer always does a spectacular job when she watches my cats!! She spends the time with them and I know my cats are getting the best care when I'm out of town. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. I previously cared for three dogs of my own and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and multi pet households. I’m comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I can accommodate special feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual care needs to help maintain consistency while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their pet’s stay, so they always have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home. I’m trusted with others animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care from morning to night. Your pet won’t just be checked on, they’ll receive plenty of companionship, playtime, affection, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate special feeding schedules, medication routines, potty breaks, and individual care needs to help keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether your pet is staying for a day or an extended visit, my goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay so they feel as comfortable as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where pets are closely supervised and treated like family. I have access to a secure, fenced outdoor area within my apartment community for safe potty breaks and fresh air. I’m experienced caring for shy or anxious pets, as well as homes with multiple pets, and I always adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and in caring hands.
About: I raised my dog from a puppy by myself and trained her to be a nice respectful playful dog. I took care of all her needs so I am more than ready for anything the job entails. I am a Robotics Engineering Student at UCSC, I have class for a few hours midday, but other than that I am free to take care of your pets. I have a dog back home and I miss being around her, It would be a joy to take care of your pets, hang out with them, make sure they are well-fed, taking them on walks, and much more.
About: Hi, my name is Sereina! I've grown up around dogs and have always been someone reliable and trustworthy around others pets as well. I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, and breeds. I would love to keep growing my experience and getting to know families and their pet family members as well! Currently I am working a part time job and visit my family in San Diego frequently. I am in school during the fall as a full time student but have extra time right now in the summer. Caring for your pet is another way for me to fill up the time throughout the week and meet new pets! As your pet sitter, I can be very by the book. If you have any special requests or know how to counteract any known behaviors from your pet I am capable of following your standards and following what is most comfortable and right for your pet. I will treat your pet with the same love and respect you have for them (and then some!). I am patient and will do everything I can to hold yours and your pets trust.
About: I grew up in a house where there always seemed to be animals in every corner, so it's probably no surprise that I ended up making a career out of caring for them. For the last 15 years, I've worked with hundreds of animal rescues and supervised veterinary teams to care for animals of all kinds. I've learned everything from reading behaviors to administering meds and cleaning wounds...but just as importantly, I've learned how to make animal's feel safe and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I've fostered dozens and have three of my own (all with different energy levels, high and low) so trust that I know how important it is to find someone who will love them like family. In a way I'd want for my own pets. I'm also currently expecting my first baby (yay!), so I'm taking a step back from my regular career for a while. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm currently taking a step back from my full-time career to enjoy my first pregnancy (I'm still quite early), so I have a very flexible schedule and am around most days :) I always try to keep routines as normal as possible while you're away. I'll send plenty of updates (I usually have my camera with me, so expect lots of photos!) and make sure they get all the love, exercise, and attention they're used to. I'm comfortable administering meds, performing injections, wound care, nail trims, and anal gland expressions. One of my dogs is a GSP, so high-energy dogs are right up my alley, and I'm always happy to keep up with walks, adventures, or training. Honestly, I'm here to care for your pet in whatever way makes you feel most comfy, even if that just means sitting on the couch while we watch some old movies. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or take care of the little things around your home while you're away. My goal is that you come home to a happy pet and a house that's exactly how you left it.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and I have experience with sitting for my friends pets as well as pet sitting for all types of cats and dogs I am in school to help me get hired as a veterinary assistant. It is asynchronous and online so my schedule is completely open as of right now. I will care for clients pets in their home so that the pet may feel as if their owner never left. Getting details about schedules or small things that are important to know.

“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have loved them for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the everyday care, attention, and patience that comes with having them. One thing that really sets me apart is how naturally I connect with shy or hesitant dogs. I’ve always had the most nervous dogs among my friends and family warm up to me surprisingly quickly! I’m patient and gentle, and I never rush a dog that needs time to feel comfortable. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles they’re used to. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work from home three days a week, so I’m able to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I’m especially open to longer daytime stays and doggy day care during the week. I’m also flexible and available for weekend care depending on my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, and I’m especially patient with shy or nervous dogs. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions and make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and given plenty of attention. I have two babies of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or visiting them in theirs, I treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own.

“Regina’s patient and great at assessing what my dogs need. She then gives me helpful feedback, and homework, to work on with them until I see her again. She’s very understanding and makes training manageable. Beyond grateful to be working with her.”

“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

“Kelsy is absolutely wonderful - she has such a positive energy and our cats took to her right away. She is communicative, dependable, patient, responsive, personable, and most importantly she loves animals and they love her back! I will definitely schedule her services again.”

Asmita is the best pet sitter we have EVER had!! We have a very feisty Siamese cat and she dealt with her attitude with ease. She sent us such detailed updates and so many pictures and videos, it was so nice since we were really missing our cat. Asmita also went above and beyond to vacuum ghe litter box area, take out the trash since it was starting to smell during the 2 1/2 weeks she watched our cat, and much much more. We will definitely be reaching out to Asmita any time we need somebody to watch our cat!

Jennifer was awesome with her check-ins of my cat. I provided her instructions (she asked clarifying questions) and followed them consistently. It was a relief knowing my cat was looked after responsibly. I highly recommend Jennifer and would request and recommend her services.

Miranda, came to watch my two kitties, Ollie & Finn. She spent a lot of time interacting with them, ensuring they were well fed and watered, and cuddling with them. It was amazing to have someone reliable to check in and spend time in one's space. Miranda was also very communicative about anything that came up, which was great. Would highly recommend!

Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!

Emily took such wonderful care of our pets! We were especially worried because one of our dogs is a senior, but she gave them so much love and attention that we were able to enjoy our family trip without any worries. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions carefully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely ask Emily to watch our pets again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!

Hannah was very responsive and sent loads of photos. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and brought treats for my three dogs so they could get familiar with her. She is such a kind and warm presence and I'm looking forward to book her again in the future- and I'm sure my pups are looking forward to it too!

Shana is great! I hired her to take care of our tortoises that live outside while we were gone for 9 days. Not only did they need daily food and water, but their house also needed to be cleaned regularly. They’re pretty large tortoises so they also make big messes. She updated me every day, took pictures, and I came home to a spotless tortoise enclosure which was a dream. She really cared for them the way we do and I knew she bonded with them from her messages. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy and extremely caring, hire Shana!

Misha went above and beyond while caring for our cat Dante! She sent great pics and we could tell she really cares about animals. She was also flexible with us while we vacationed in a national park with limited service and she made sure Dante was taken care of. Highly recommend her for pet sitting and we'll definitely use her again!

5-Star Review It was easy to recognize from the start that Lisa is a true animal lover. She was prompt for our meet-and-greet with my cat, Ozzie. Lisa is an excellent listener, very knowledgeable about both cats and dogs, and a natural with animals. Throughout the pet-sitting experience, she provided outstanding communication, regular updates, and wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to work with Ozzie’s schedule and unique personality, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Lisa completed every request I made and truly went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I couldn’t be happier 🐾💕
