“We appreciate all that Erin & Alex do for our Tobi! They continue to remain his primary sitters! They are always communicating with us, sending videos and updates. It always helps us to feel at ease! Our little guy always enjoys his time with them and his mama’s appreciate that! Thank you both again & see you next month!”

“Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you”

“Ela was communicative and nothing but accommodating to every query or request. I can’t recommend her services enough as she made the whole experience of being away from our baby comfortable and reassuring. Arlo was regularly walked and taken to the park to socialise with other animals as well as clearly developing a loving relationship for Ela. Ela regularly updated us sent photos and videos as well. We will definitely be returning for her services!”

“My dogs were so well taken care of! I received pictures daily as well as updates on how they were behaving and if Woody took his medicine. They can be a little shy but I could see in the pictures they were cuddling with Daniella and her husband every day. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Joy was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, she kept us updated every single day with messages, photos, and details about how they were doing. Knowing our dogs were in such caring and attentive hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. It’s clear that Joy genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable throughout their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are incredibly grateful for all of her care, communication, and professionalism. I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with my sweet puppy! I am an experienced rover sitter myself, and I will say I am impressed! Gloria’s attention to detail was amazing, and her communication skills were some of the best I have had with a pet sitter. My puppy came home extremely happy, she clearly received top notch care and a lot of love during her stay with Gloria! Thank you so much! I will 100% be booking again when I need a sitter.”

“Sierra was so good with our Kobe. My husband even said that at drop off, Kobe looked so sad to be home haha, and he’s usually so excited to see us. She kept me informed through out his stay, and updated me with photos as well. When we need to board him again, Sierra will be our first option for sure. Thanks again ❤️”


“Amazing care. I am so glad I found Edith. I felt at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She sent photos every day of my cat looking happier with her than me lol. Best caretaker for pets ever. I highly recommend Edith.”

“Araceli was very responsive to our messages and sent updates that included videos and pictures of our pups. She took very good care of them. They had a wonderful time and came home exhausted.”

About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!

About: Hello, my name is Eileen but I go by my middle name, Liani (pronounced: Lee-Ahh-Nee) what truly sets me apart is that caring for animals doesn’t feel like a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve grown up around many different kinds of pets and feel comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Through TrustedHousesitters, I’ve earned positive reviews by being reliable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and homes. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra reassurance, I take the time to make them feel at ease. I have a very flexible schedule as I am currently in grad school so I definitely do not mind last minute scheduling if I can fit it in and work around whatever I have going on for the week. My cats are very loving and social— with both other cats and dogs! My smallest one (about 7 months now) lovesss playing with everyone. I have done very well with instructions left by people I have pets sat for and have done well.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own I am a stay at home mom so I’ll be home with your pet most of the day! And available to go on walks as well I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly husky who loves visitors! Your pet is free to the whole house, can be crated if you need.
“My Bernedoodle- Hattie had the best time with “Bo” the sitter, and Oreo the dog! I had my dog groomed before dropping her off, and they split her nail when trimming it. Bo, immediately put a clear cone of shame on her. And kept cleaning the area up and applied bedydine on the area. I picked her up last night, she was happy but limping. Took her to her Vet this afternoon, the Vet said, everything he did helped with a great outcome! Thank you Bo & Oreo! We will see you soon!”

“Brandon is a total gem! He and Billy are both so kind and caring. My two pups took to them immediately and had a wonderful time. Brandon is a great communicator and provided timely updates. I had a little mix-up with my dates, and Brandon was so flexible and accommodating with the change. I can't recommend them enough and my two pups can't wait to stay with them again.”


“We are so grateful for Amy and Matt! We left our three month old puppy with them for a weekend and while he certainly is cute he can be quite a handful. They took him on challenges and all though and did everything they could to make sure he felt comfortable and loved while he was with them. They kept us informed with daily updates and pictures and it was obvious he was settling in with their help. It was the first time he had stayed somewhere else and we are so fortunate it was with Amy and Matt! Thank you!! ”

“What a wonderful experience our Thunder had staying with Sam and Darrell in their beautiful Palm Springs bungalow. Our puppy was attended to, snuggled, played with and walked;we were consistently updated with pictures and brief messages. We will definitely book Sam again in the future!”

“Don is the best! We get pictures every day of our dog Bruno while he's with Don. He takes Bruno for walks and gives us training tips to work with him on the leash. We always know our pup is in good hands with Don.”
