“Katie was WONDERFUL! she was able to accommodate my request on short notice and did an amazing job. She sent lots of updates and I felt great knowing my poodle was in her care. Thank you again Katie!”



“Michelle has been a God send. She had been consistently on time and able to watch George for us a few times this week. She takes him on nice long walks and is easy to communicate with.”


“Bennie and Jennie were the most amazing cat sitters! They provided frequent updates and I knew Leo was well taken care of and happy at all times. They were very professional, reliable, and kind, and I will definitely be using their services again. I cant recommend highly enough!”


About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!

“… Frances is absolutely wonderful. We liked everything about her immediately. She’s was really kind and thoughtful and patient with our dog, who has pretty intense separation anxiety, but was safe and comfortable under her watch. Frances was understanding about everything and was so very sweet. We will be ABSOLUTELY thrilled if she would watch our dog again and we give her the highest recommendation. Thank you so much, Frances!!”


“Elizabeth is amazing! I cannot imagine a better pet sitter. I was gone for 10 days, and the whole time she was communicative and sent lots of pictures. When I got home, my apartment was better than I left it! I could tell both of my pets were comfortable with and well loved by her. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”


“We cannot give higher praise for Amyra and James. They put our minds at ease and were such amazing help! Our puppies loved them and we really appreciate everything they did. We trust them completely and are no longer worried about leaving our pups knowing they’d be in the best hands!”


About: I’ve cared for pets nearly my entire life, providing regular feedings, playtime, and ensuring they feel cozy and content. With years of experience walking dogs, I make it a priority to learn their favorite toys, maintain their hygiene, and ensure they receive the right amount of exercise and attention. My approach is always attentive, compassionate, and focused on their well-being. New to Newport Beach and in my final year of college, I’m excited to meet some new furry friends! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I bring genuine love and reliable care to every pet I meet. As an older sibling and a volleyball coach for young ones, I’ve learned the importance of being alert and attentive. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve developed a keen eye for making sure every pet is comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I bring that same level of attention and love to every furry friend I care for.

“I'm so pleased with Mary's care for my dog, regular communication with me, and keeping my home in great condition. Ripley is a senior dog with medical needs and Mary handled everything beautifully!”


“Elena was very accommodating with my situation. Her place wasn’t hard to find and my Milo and enjoyed his time over there. She often send pictures and also send me messages every day to let me know how he was doing and what he was up to. I would definitely be using her again and her family love My Milo as well. I was very pleased with how much care they gave him.”


“Caroline was fantastic with our puppy and kitty. She stepped in last minute when another sitter fell through and went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies AND ease our minds. I would recommend Caroline to anybody!”


About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!

“If I could give Irene more than 5 stars, I would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment she met our pup, we knew she was something special. She’s kind, attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and could tell our Gigi was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone, but with her, we had complete peace of mind.”


“Alana was an exemplary sitter for my 2 dog kids. Everything from her excellent communication, attention to detail and warm personality made me feel comfortable with choosing her. And the dogs have told me their side of the story and it sounds like 8 paws up for Alana!”


About: A few years ago, my neighbor asked if I could watch her two labs while she was on vacation. Ever since then, I've taken care of chihuahuas, schnauzers, and even pit bulls whenever a friend needs a helping hand. I also have 4 chihuhuas and a cat of my own that I love like my own children. I most often pet sit for dogs, but I've also taken care of cats, lizards, turtles, and bunnies. I'm a quick learner and am open to anything! I'm a student at the University of Calfornia, Irvine, but I am currently free almost any day of the week until the end of September (when classes start). After September, I will be available Monday, Wednesday, some Fridays, and most weekends. My schedule is pretty flexible, though, so I'm willing to make things work. I love to spoil my pets, and I'd love to spoil yours too! If that fits your dog's needs, of course. I'm available by text and can give picture updates!

About: I live on a farm and have taken care of animals most of my life, including dogs, cats, chickens, and cows. I've also stayed over at some of my friends houses to take care of their dogs whenever they leave on trips and need a sitter. I'm currently on summer break from college and have plenty of time to take care of your pets throughout the day and even overnight if wanted. I can take care of your pet in your own home in whatever way you would like. I am happy to take dogs on walks and play with any animals. I will also abide by any house rules or routines that I am told.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! Outside of my own pets, I have had experience in both dog/cat sitting and house sitting for friends and family. From my past experiences, I have built close and trusting relationships with both animals and owners. I’m responsible, have great communication skills, and tend to be flexible with scheduling. I just graduated from college and I’m free these upcoming months (June-Aug.) for pet sitting and house sitting! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m open to daily and weekly check ups. I’m open to caring for each animal based on the owners requests and desires! I’m naturally a nurturing person so paying close attention to animals are my top priority!

“Bryce was so great with my two dogs when he dog sat for me for a few days. He followed all the instructions, gave consistent updates, and was overall truly excellent. I very highly recommend him!”
