Brittany is the only dog sitter so far who has been able to get my very anxious Husky to go for a walk. That speaks volumes to the kindness, patience, and love that she has for animals. I am so impressed and grateful to finally have found someone that I can trust if we have to go away. She’s the best!

I just moved to the area and needed someone last minute to help me with my dog - feeding and a couple walks - while I was at Disneyland for the day. It's always hard to leave your dog, especially when you don't know the person, but Angela was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. She was super responsive to my initial outreach and asked great questions. I loved getting the visit reports and photos from her throughout the day. She took extra time to get to know the dog and make him comfortable, and did other little thoughtful things that made me feel like she treated the dog and my home like her own. I can't express my appreciation enough, and will definitely be calling Angela again!

About: I am a full time house/pet sitter! I love the life of taking care of people's homes and beloved animals. I raised my family with tons of pets - dogs, cats, frogs, fish, lizards, snakes, hamsters, etc. I now care for others' in the same way as if they were my own - with complete care and love. I have been on a different app with over thirty 5 star reviews. I am new to this one! You won't be disappointed by giving me the opportunity. :) I work remotely for an organization that specializes in walking alongside foster care youth that are aging out of the system. I can be anywhere to do my job! So I have lots of time to be present for your animals. I am very flexible - accommodating what I do to be in line with the pets' routines and needs. Giving medicine, caring for aging animals with gentleness, lots of play time and cuddle time. I also leave a home as clean (or often more clean!) as when I arrived. Being respectful of others' privacy comes naturally to me and it is something I take seriously.

About: I’ve always had more animals in my household than people—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have two dogs of my own: Cooper, a goofy and energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, and Whiskey, my sweet and loyal brown Lab. But in our home, we share the space with a full crew: five dogs total (Koda, Harry, Charlie, Cooper, and Whiskey), one cat named Oliver, two ducks—Banks and River—four chickens (Dallas, Aurora, Wanda, and Lainey), and two horses, Woody and Gator. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is second nature to me. In fact, I sometimes joke that I take better care of my animals than I do myself! From early morning feedings to vet visits, muddy paws, and midnight cuddles, I wouldn’t trade the chaos for anything. It’s taught me patience, responsibility, and how to love unconditionally—and I carry those values into every aspect of caregiving I do. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine—it’s how I start and end each day. From early morning walks and feedings to playtime, training, and vet visits, I build my schedule around their needs. Whether it’s giving medication, grooming, or just quality cuddle time, I make sure each of my animals feels loved, safe, and well-cared for every single day. In my home, pet care is all about consistency, love, and attention to detail. I stick to regular feeding and walking schedules, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, affection, and stimulation. I’m always monitoring their health and behavior, and I adjust routines as needed to keep them happy and thriving. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to maintain familiarity and comfort for the pets. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own—whether it’s sticking to specific diets, administering medication, or just making sure they get belly rubs and attention. I communicate often, send updates, and ensure peace of mind while families are away or at work.

About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.

About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I am a dog and nature obsessed girl in her twenties! I have a deep passion and connection to animals. My dog walking journey started many years ago when I was only 15. I became the local dog walker for my apartment complex, and my wonderful journey for pet care began! Additionally, I have hands-on experience working in a dog day camp and boarding facility where I would prepare meals, supervise large play groups, walk many dogs at a time, and gave my undivided attention to the most loving fur babies! I am completely comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I would also love to help out and provide some basic obedience training, bathes, nail trimming, etc. if requested! Being around dogs all of the time is something that I LOVE to do! I am open to going on fun trips, long walks, client home boarding, drop-in visits, bathing, feeding, distributing medication, or any other services or requests you may have. I am open to dogs who are dog and/or food aggressive. I am devoted to giving top notch care to your furry friends while you are busy! If interested, please send me a message At the moment I currently have open availability! I stay at home most of the day, so I am willing and able to prioritize your time and needs around my schedule to ensure complete satisfaction! I live in a household with three dogs, one of which is my own personal dog named Buster! He is a rescue Siberian Husky and the absolute love of my life! My entire world is dedicated to him and fulfilling his needs. We have created a wonderful life together and would love to take your fur baby along for the ride!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who, until recently, had four fur babies of my own. A few months ago, I lost my beloved German Shepherd—who was also my best friend—to cancer. Her passing was heartbreaking, but I’m grateful to still have three amazing dogs who bring me so much joy: two Golden Retrievers and a mini Sheepadoodle. I’m extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. After caring for my own sick dog, I also have experience with administering medication and providing extra attention and care for pups who aren’t feeling their best. I just graduated highschool and am a new college student. I go to school 2 days a week and work 1-2 days a week part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not in school for a long time during the days I am there. For my own pets I have a fenced in back yard so that my pups can go in and out of the house as they please. We keep our front door closed but also have a small puppy gate around it just for extra protection in case the door somehow gets left open. When at a clients house I follow all rules and guidelines While using my own experience with my dogs as well. Im always checking on the pups to make sure they are doing well and are happy.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I volunteer with dogs as an adult and have two cats. I have experience with: small and big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, cats, and bearded dragons. I am comfortable administering medication. Recently trained in Maddie’s University dog care. I can't wait to meet your furry baby! Right now, I am unemployed, so I have a very open schedule to take care of animals. If I get a job, I will communicate and change my availability as soon as I know. I will do what the owner expects of me regarding the pet. I have a car and can take the dog to a park or the vet, if necessary. We have cats and live in an apartment, so I will not take care of animals at home.

About: Over 10 years loving and caring for pets big and small! I’ve volunteered at shelters and a vet clinic—every animal feels like family to me. 🐾 I study and work from home therefore have lots of time to take care of your pet’s needs. I study 7 days a week online. I have a very spacious yard with grass parts and sand parts. I have a gated pool meaning no pets enter that area, as well as a gated yard.

Audrey was absolutely incredible. She stepped in last minute after a bad experience with another sitter and completely turned everything around. She even cleaned up after the previous sitter and made sure my dog was comfortable and cared for from the moment she arrived. Her communication was amazing — constant updates, photos, and quick responses that gave me total peace of mind. She was just all around wonderful, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Audrey, for taking such great care of my boy!

Julia was very helpful and took care of everything I could’ve hoped for while I travelled last minute for a funeral. My very shy cats warmed up to her quickly which says to me that she’s patient and kind—my fussy little furballs often take 3-4 occasions with a new person to get as comfortable as they were with her within a few days. I was grateful to know they were in good hands while I dealt with a difficult situation many states away.

Becki’s been our cat sitter twice now - once when our 15 year old cat just had dental surgery and needed extra attention, and most recently when our two cats were at home alone for 2 weeks. Both times, Becki’s been communicative and has gone above and beyond by grabbing mail, watering plants, and sending detailed cat updates. We know our girls are in good hands with her!
