“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
“Leah is an exceptional caregiver for my dogs Pepper and Pluto. Her heart is so full of love that my dogs felt immediately at home. She offered daily updates and pictures that were essential to our peace of mind as we were on vacation. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter and will definitely arrange future bookings!”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”
“Emmeline was awesome. She cared for my dog who’s a bit anxious. I received plenty of updates and pics. Was prompt and professional. Would definitely recommend Emmeline and will be using her in the future.”
“My 4 year old Nala boarded overnight with Lauren at her place. Lauren was so sweet with Nala and made sure to make her feel at home. My dog has separation anxiety but Lauren made her feel comfortable. I received comforting photo updates frequently and that made me feel less anxious too. Definitely recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs :)”
“This was my Pixies first time with Amy. I was told that Pixie had a good time with Amy’s 3 little dogs. That makes me happy that she enjoyed herself and that she was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Amy again in the near future.”
“As a first‑time dog‑sitting client, I was nervous and unsure what to expect. Kyle exceeded every hope I had. He was reassuring from the start, communicated clearly, and made me feel genuinely comfortable. Beyond caring for my dog, he showed real empathy and took the time to listen when I had concerns. His updates were consistent, and the extra photos were such a sweet touch. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.”
“We recently hired Margerita to take care of our fur baby while we were away. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Margerita was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards our pet. She always updated us with pictures and videos whenever I asked her. It was very easy to communicate with her throughout the time she had our pet. It was really sweet of her to pack some treats in the bag when we picked him up. I can totally see that my pet was missing his two friends he made while living with her. I will definitely recommend her and will hire in future if needed.”
About: I’ve raised my cat Simba since she was a 2 month old kitten with a fecal parasite from the shelter she was at before. I nursed her to health, play with her all the time, and make sure she eats around the same time everyday. I clean her litter boxes all around the house. I love how each cat has their own personality. I am doing this in my free time and my schedule varies daily but I am free and open to discuss my schedule in private. I have a cat who is very friendly but if they do not get along she can stay in a separate room. I make sure your cat will get acquainted.
“Amazing! From the meet and greet to the drop off, the stay and the pick up, Angela was simply amazing throughout. Every update had fun details and every picture sent showed my baby’s happy face. We will definitely ask to avail of her services again!”

“Kirsten did a great job! I met with her briefly beforehand, she was polite and attentive as I walked her through everything. During her visiting she checked off all of my requests and sent pictures as confirmation. Lastly she was great with my cat, playing with her and giving her treats. Would hire her again, fully trust her with my cat.”
About: Growing up in a family that loved animals I had gained experience caring for and training small, medium, and large dogs as well as cats and horses! I have held the titles of Miss Calaveras Saddle Queen, Miss California State Horseman's Association, and Miss Rodeo Oakdale. All of these titles were ambassador rolls for excellent animal welfare care and required a tremendous amount of equine care knowledge. My knowledge of animal care was expanded further during my employment at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital as first a kennel assistant and then a veterinary assistant. Working at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital I provided routine walks for a vast variety of dog breeds that were both boarding and hospitalized. I am able to administer medications if need be and willing to help with medical care. Currently a student at UC Davis, my weekly routine is very flexible for providing you the best pet care possible! This quarter mornings and evenings work best during week days and my weekends are open! My employee feedback from Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital described me as thorough, patient, and compassionate. I am confident that I will provide your pet with all the play time, treats, and care they could possibly want!
About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 8 years and currently share my home with my two cats, Suki and Remy, who keep me well-trained in the art of feline care. Between the two of them, I’ve learned that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and daily routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving cats the patience and space they deserve while helping them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to observe from a safe distance, I’ll make sure they’re cared for according to their needs. As someone who regularly trusts others to care for my own cats when I travel, I understand how important communication is. I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in good hands.
“I was out of town for two weeks and didn’t have anyone to take care of my dogs. I hired Gonzalo who had never met my dogs and he did great. He was a huge help he also takes and sends pictures with every visit which I liked a lot. I highly recommend his services.”

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”
“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently taking a break from my full time job. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.
“Poa and her daughter were wonderful with my service dog Grady! This was my first time leaving my boy. I was relieved to see him relaxed and at ease when I picked him up. I will definitely use POA in the future and highly recommend her to all!”
About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, (I have two kids, so if the pups are kids friendly, I can bring my kids. If not kid friendly, I am available at 6pm or anytime after). I am available to dog sit (daily care or overnight) Friday-Mondays as of right now. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.
About: Always had dogs. Lost my rescue dog at 19 years. Sit/board a separation anxiety prone dog. Worked at a small animal hospital for 3 years. I am retired, so very flexible with most hours and days. I am open to overnight stays with a cat friendly dog. And I like having a dog sleep with me. Large fenced back yard. I enjoy walking dogs; no dogs running loose in my neighborhood. Very careful if I go out the front door. Have two indoor cats but they ignore the dog that occasionally boards with me.
About: Your pet will not wanna go home. I will provide excellent care. Ive been obsessed with pets since I was a little boy and have always treated them as another human being. Expect to get the best care from me for your pet because I believe they deserve it. They’ll always have a watching eye and never be unattended. They will also be able to roam in my home comfortably and freely as if in their own home. Your pet will always want to return to my home because I will provide the best experience that they have had with a pet sitter that honestly cares and strives to provide that nurturing and fun environment for each and every stay that they’ll have with me. I’m home 23 hours out of the day at home. I have plenty of time on my hands to be the best pet sitter for your pet. I give my pets full access to my house and let them choose where they feel most comfortable. Of course I make sure to make my home very safe for them because they can be very curious about everything like a small toddler. There’s never a need to worry about their safety and we’ll being. I also have surveillance indoor and out just so I don’t miss anything.

About: I’ve had pets since I was very young and have been caring for my own four cats for a few years. I also have experience with dogs and have had my own while growing up. While I don’t currently have one, since I knew I would be moving over the next few years, I would love to bring my experience and affection into your home for your furry companions. The dog pictured is my Mom’s. He loves when I visit and is always down for cuddles and a walk I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet making sure they’re loved, fed, and groomed during any absence or as a helping hand. I work sparingly at this time and can devote myself to providing for your routine. I’m responsible and flexible, making sure your pets needs are met during routine visits. I want nothing more than for my clients to know their fur babies are cared for and regularly checked on.
“Ana is amazing! She is great with keeping me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. My dog now jumps out of the car and runs to Ana when we arrive she gets so excited. I highly recommend Ana :)”

As a college student and worker, I find the time throughout my day if working or having class to stop by throughout the day to do multiple potty breaks.

Either way I am willing to do so! Though I do prefer to watch pets in the clients home.

About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.

About: I have been caring for animals all my life, on both sides of my family. I primarily grew up with dogs (of all shapes, sizes, and breeds), but I have grown to love cats just as much. I have experience caring for several animals simultaneously, including both cats and dogs. I have cared for animals from newborns to seniors and have experience caring for animals with medical needs (oral medication, injections, etc.). I love animals of all kinds and would love to take care of yours! I am a full-time student at Merced College, and I'm working on my ASTs in Mathematics and Computer Science & Engineering! I do have a couple of in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (online wasn't available), so please message me if you are interested in booking but unsure if the dates/ times will work.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.

“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”
“My 4 year old Nala boarded overnight with Lauren at her place. Lauren was so sweet with Nala and made sure to make her feel at home. My dog has separation anxiety but Lauren made her feel comfortable. I received comforting photo updates frequently and that made me feel less anxious too. Definitely recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs :)”
“As a first‑time dog‑sitting client, I was nervous and unsure what to expect. Kyle exceeded every hope I had. He was reassuring from the start, communicated clearly, and made me feel genuinely comfortable. Beyond caring for my dog, he showed real empathy and took the time to listen when I had concerns. His updates were consistent, and the extra photos were such a sweet touch. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.”
About: I’ve raised my cat Simba since she was a 2 month old kitten with a fecal parasite from the shelter she was at before. I nursed her to health, play with her all the time, and make sure she eats around the same time everyday. I clean her litter boxes all around the house. I love how each cat has their own personality. I am doing this in my free time and my schedule varies daily but I am free and open to discuss my schedule in private. I have a cat who is very friendly but if they do not get along she can stay in a separate room. I make sure your cat will get acquainted.
“Amazing! From the meet and greet to the drop off, the stay and the pick up, Angela was simply amazing throughout. Every update had fun details and every picture sent showed my baby’s happy face. We will definitely ask to avail of her services again!”

“Nestor, was patient kind and genuinely cared for my beautiful Josephine, even accommodated my reservation when I requested the day before, responded to all my messages and sent pictures which is great to see when I am away and wonder how my dog was doing , my dog ate, slept, and even made a new friend with Nestor and Nestor's dog. I definitely recommend and will reserve with Nestor again thank you Nestor!”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”

My schedule is flexible, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I plan my days around the pets I care for, making sure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, and regular outdoor time. Whether you need early-morning help, mid-day visits, or evening care, I work to accommodate your routine and keep your pet’s day running smoothly. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure every pet is supervised, secure, and cared for according to their routine and needs. I follow instructions closely, keep environments clean, and pay attention to details so pets stay comfortable and stress-free.

“Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along. I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
“Paovanary took amazing care of our dogs! She took them on walks and sent plenty of pictures and updates. She was very communicative and flexible with us when our schedule changed for drop-off and pick-up. I would highly recommend her!”
