“We are so grateful to Jenni for looking after Mochi while we were away on our cruise. She sent us photos and videos to keep us updated on how Mochi was doing; thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind!”
“Grateful they were able to accommodate us last minute! My dog is a gentle giant and they kept him safe for us for the night, I loved getting picture and videos. Thank you!”
“We were nervous to leave our little guy for a few days, but we didn't need to be. Claudia took exceptional care of him! He got to play with her dogs and several others. The videos she sent us of him were magical. I don't think he has ever been happier than he was staying with her!”
“We were so lucky to have found Natalia. She took great care of Max, a foster dog, while my husband and I were out of town. Max is a special needs dog and Natalia not only took good care of him, she gave us regular updates and helped us continue his home physical therapy during his stay. If you need someone to care for your pet, I highly recommend her!”
“We had to leave Vito for boarding last minute. Jess was able to accommodate and was happy to host Vito! We got regular updates through out the weekend which made us feel more comfortable. We would definitely recommend Jess and would book her again! ☺️”
“Julie and Justin were amazing with our Ollie while I went out on a week long vacation. They made him feel very welcome and they sent updates every day. I would 100% recommend them to any of our friends and I will be contacting them for future needs 😊”
“Highly recommend Alex and family to dogsit! I was able to enjoy my vacation without stress or worry, Alex takes great care of Mavis and gives frequent updates. Thank you to Alex for being so flexible and caring!”
“Alvaro is an amazing sitter. Simba loved being part of Alvaro’s family over Christmas week. Simba loved his company and with every picture Alvaro took, our family knew Simba was in good hands. Simba was very (very!) comfortable in Alvaro’s home. We constantly received pictures and saw that Simba was doing great. I don’t even think Simba missed us for a bit. Thank you Alvaro for taking care of Simba like he was your dog. I will definitely be coming back when we need a sitter. Thank you and Happy New Year!”
“Yvonne was caring and very sweet with my pup. He is only 3mo old and needs a lot of attention, which he most certainly received at her house. I will 100% ask her to look after my pup again!”
“We had a such a wonderful experience with Madison and her family. They were truly delightful and Hank enjoyed making new friends. We would definitely recommend and would use her services again in the future.”
“Wow, was this a great experience! Dubele and her daughter, Van were incredibly communicative, kind, and patient with me from first contact all the way to picking my cats up at the end of the booking. They sent daily photos and provided updates as often as I asked (and even when I didn’t!). Overall, I cannot recommend Dubele enough as a petsitter. My cats, who are terrified of new people, were curled up on her lap by day 2! I will definitely be using their services again anytime my cats need overnight boarding.”
“My two boys had a great time with Catherine. She did a good job making sure my little one had his medication 3x per day as needed. My bigger dog gets a little more anxious around new people and ended up taking to her right away, which is a rare and excellent sign of approval from him! She was good about communicating and sending photos. We will definitely rebook!”
“Anne and Jason were wonderful and took great care of our old dog Coco. They provided us with updates and pictures of our dog which gave us great peace of mind. She seemed so content with the care they provided that she almost didn’t want to come home. Would definitely have them watch my pet again.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Bao! It was obvious to me in a way I had never seen before, that my dog was so happy to be there when I dropped him off. Bao sent so many pictures, videos, and updates, which was so wonderful. I felt so much relief and knew Max was in great hands. I'll never use anyone else!!”
“Great sitter, the boys really seemed happy when we picked them up. Lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely be booking with Dulce again if we are every back in this area.”

“Emilie did an amazing job dropping in on my cat while I was out of town, sending plenty of pictures and updates. My kitty is very shy around strangers but Emilie put a lot of effort into keeping her socialized and entertained at her own pace, and maintaining her food and litter routine. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and thorough sitter.”
“Today’s was Mairas first time doing a drop in it visit with canelo while I was at work and she did great she sent me pics and he seems very happy playing with her , she fed him and even gives her his paw. The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.”
“My First choice across the board; Chelsea and Richard take such passionate care of your baby while you're away. There's such a peace of mind leaving my cat in their care because when I return he isn't rambunctious. He's very mellow after being on a cat vacation with Chelsea Richard. They are my one and only choice for pet sitting. <3”

“Its never easy having to leave a pet home for a trip you can't take the pet on. We recently had to do this to travel across the country and looked for help with taking care of our cat at home, where she is most comfortable. Bianca was absolutely wonderful about taking care of our cat, letting her get acquainted at her own pace. Within a couple of days, our cat was snuggling to Bianca like she'd known her for years ! Bianca stayed over at our place to take care of Nutella and she took great care of the home, ensuring the trash was taken out before she left. She left the place very clean and our cat was a happy camper for the duration. I would definitely request Bianca's help again, should the occasion arise.”
About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and am used to having a pet filled household. I know the variety of personalities a cat can have and how best to interact with them based on that. I will follow your cats lead and either keep my distance, play with them, or cuddle them based on their preference. I have over 15 years of experience taking care of cats. I have also taken care of pet medical care. Specifically, giving a dog twice daily pills and administering inhaler medicine for a cat. I am reliable, will communicate often, and love sending photos of how cute your cat is being! I am currently flexible with scheduling but will need sufficient notice.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience growing up on a ranch, where I've cared for a wide variety of pets. This background has equipped me with valuable skills in handling different animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for senior pets, or tending to unique species, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion to ensure the highest level of care for every furry friend. My hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal behavior allow me to tailor my services to meet the specific requirements of each pet, setting me apart as a reliable and dedicated caregiver. I’m a college student living on campus hundreds of miles away from home and my own fur babies. Outside of school I have lots of free time and would love to spend it doing something I love and enjoy. For in-house pet care services, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets in their familiar environment. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering any necessary medications, engaging in playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe environment. I also offer companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety while their owners are away. Additionally, I can perform basic grooming tasks such as brushing and nail trimming if needed. Throughout the pet care process, I maintain clear communication with the pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns promptly.
“First time leaving our boy with a sitter and I couldn’t have a better experience! Oliver came home happy and I felt so relieved and would definitely want all sitters to have the same warmth and kindness as Gloria. Definitely recommend and WILL have oliver board with her again! ?”
“What an incredible experience, Katie is absolutely AMAZING. With a last-minute request, she was more than willing to help. She responded quickly and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable in her place. We got daily updates, photos and videos. We are happy that we found her, and would definitely return. Highly recommend!!”
“Armand was a fantastic sitter for our cat Wesley! I was really impressed with his background and experience fostering kittens, and he earned Wesley’s trust easily and quickly. Armand sent us detailed and thorough visit summaries and plenty of pictures, so we had nothing to worry about during our trip. He followed our care instructions to a T, checked in with us when he had questions, and went above and beyond while caring for Wesley. I can’t recommend Armand highly enough, and would love to book him again in the future!”
“Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Claudia was lovely and we felt great leaving our pups with her during their check ins. She was communicative, helpful, and went above and beyond!”
“Windy was so accommodating with a short-notice booking, and she always updated me with notes and pictures which made me feel so secure about leaving my cat with her. I would absolutely book with Windy again!”
“Thanks so much! I first booked Ally to help with my beloved dog Gracie, who was ill and on a lot of medications and needed some speciaized attention while my father took care of the other animals in the house. She came for a meet and greet to learn the layout of the house and meet the pack and see my complex feeding instructions. Unfortunately, my Gracie passed only a few days before my trip. 😭 Ally was willing to work with my ever changing needs with ease. She was super kind and ended up still coming twice during my trip to scoop the litter boxes and clean the dog bowls etc. She sent photos and an update, telling me how everyone was doing. It really helped ease my mind to have someone checking in while I was gone. Thanks again!”
About: While I don’t have as much experience with cats as I do with dogs, I’ve always enjoyed being around them and caring for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Spending time with them has helped me learn how to approach cats patiently and respectfully while paying attention to their individual personalities. I understand that some cats are playful and social while others prefer a calmer environment, and I’m comfortable matching their energy and giving them the space or attention they need. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“As fellow dog sitters ourselves, we know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pup with someone, and Jenni gave us that peace of mind from the start! First time Gigi stayed with Jenni and she was incredibly responsive from the start. While we were at the Angels game, we received lots of pictures of Gigi playing with her new friend, enjoying toys, and going on an evening stroll. Gigi looked so happy! 🐾❤️ Pickup was just as seamless, with Jenni meeting us outside, carrying Gigi to us when we arrived. Her location was also super convenient, only about 10 minutes from the stadium! We really appreciated the communication and care Jenni gave Gigi and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Mahur is a very nervous and cautious dog, but Michelle was incredibly patient and took the time to earn her trust. She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. Mahur usually doesn't like being touched by people she doesn't know, so I was amazed to receive a video of Michelle petting her while Mahur looked completely relaxed. It was clear that Michelle genuinely cared for her and made her feel safe. Michelle is a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.”
“Gloria was absolutely the best! Mary had an amazing time and completely fell in love with Gloria’s bulldog, Boba. By the end of the visit, they were best friends — Mary was still looking for Boba on the way home! The photos and videos turned out awesome and captured so many great moments. If you’re looking for an awesome dog sitter, look no further because it doesn’t get better than Gloria and Romel!”

I really appreciate knowing that he was with someone who cares and is attentive.”
“Tiffany arranged for a meet and greet first between my dog Remy and her own dog, making sure that they got introduced prior to boarding. She was very thorough, asked the right questions, and I left our meet and greet feeling comfortable and confident that Remy will be well taken care of. I appreciated the updates on his feedings, walks, how he's getting along with the other dogs, as well as his overall behavior and demeanor. The photo updates were a plus. I would definitely go back to Tiffany for future day care / boarding!”
“We had an amazing experience with Olivia. Our dog well cared for and got lots of love. Would definitely book again. Her house was adorable and she had a large backyard for him to run around in. Furthermore, she was very accommodating as we had to pick him up on Christmas morning.”

I can’t say enough good things about everything she did for me with her pictures and texts that were so reassuring and kept me updated. My pup adored her, her family and her stay while I was gone. Thank you again Kenzie for all that you did for me and my family!”

“Romina took great care of our dog. She provided many updates and pictures throughout the day which we really appreciated and enjoyed. We will definitely have her watch Tucker again in the future!”
“Summer had an amazing amazing time! we couldn't have asked for a better care for Summer. Pam took care of Summer like family. While we were having fun at vacation, we were getting frequent updates/pictures/videos of Summer being pampered.. While picking up Summer even neighbors came over to see her off - :). Would highly recommend Pam to any other pet parents who are looking to get family like care and attention. Thanks again Pam for taking care of Summer. She will be back soon!”
