“Joyce and Patrick are fantastic sitters. My little dog Cocoa must have remembered the fun time she had during our meet-and-greet because when I dropped her off before our trip, she went right into the house with Joyce and didn't even glance back at me! Normally she's an anxious dog and gets upset at separating from us, but not this time, apparently. I appreciated the photos and video I received from Joyce, and the prompt communication about drop off and pick up times. Thank you, Joyce and Patrick!”
“As always, our babies are well taken care of during our vacation! This time, we left two dogs with Shelby and Scott. It was one of our dogs' first time staying, and it seems like they really helped make him feel comfortable. Thank you so much!”
“Oi was so flexible, adaptable and went above and beyond to give Theo a bath and trimmed his nails. I’m so happy she was able to spend time with him, and he seems clean and relaxed. She definitely cared for him very well and knew to feed him an unreasonable number of times since he is a growing kitten. She is very nice and good to work with. I will definitely book again.”
“Jane was great with Ozzy - I can tell he had a great time. She provided picture updates on how Ozzy was doing which I appreciated! I look forward to boarding Ozzy with you again in the future!”
“Jahni was amazing and showed our pup so much love. She kept us updated with some many pictures and videos. I appreciate her flexibility and care. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Am so glad I found Connie. She is wonderful with my fur baby My fur baby has anxiety separation but since she has been going to Connie's she getting so much better. Connie is very accommodating. She is wonderful.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life, so I’m pretty familiar with their many personalities and the fact that they’re usually the ones in charge. I’ve cared for cats from playful kittens to sweet seniors, including cats who were injured or needed extra attention. I genuinely love spending time with cats, learning their little quirks, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while their humans are away

About: I truly have a soft heart for cats. We recently fostered a sweet shelter cat who had been abused and was very scared, and I’ve learned how important patience, gentle voices, and slow trust-building can be. I’m comfortable giving shy or nervous cats the space they need while helping them feel safe at their own pace. I also care for stray cats in my area, making sure they’re fed and looked after. Every cat I care for is treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets. Growing up, I cared for 12 songbirds, and today I have a pug who I'm always accommodating for each season by keeping him cool and hydrated in the summer, warm and comfortable in the winter, and adjusting his daily routine based on the weather. I've pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, including two senior Golden Retrievers, a Chihuahua, a tabby cat, and a hobby farm with chickens, an albino peacock, two Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs, seven cats, a livestock guardian dog, and more than a dozen songbirds. This experience has made me comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to every pet's individual needs. I'll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a regular part of my weekly routine. I work part time at the San Dimas Canyon Nature Center, where I help care for protected ambassador animals, including peregrine falcons, great horned owls, Swainson's hawks, red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks, barn owls, American kestrels, desert tortoises, a mule deer, and various reptiles and amphibians. My responsibilities include cleaning enclosures, preparing species-specific diets such as rats, quail, crickets, and fresh salads, and helping ensure each animal receives proper daily care. This experience has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and ability to follow individualized care routines. Because animal care is already part of my everyday life, fitting pet sitting into my schedule comes naturally. I'm committed to providing the same level of patience, consistency, and compassion to every pet I care for. I take pet safety, trust, and routines seriously. My experience caring for protected ambassador animals at the San Dimas Canyon Nature Center has taught me to follow detailed instructions, strict schedules, specialized diets, and medication routines with confidence. My friends and neighbors also trust me in their homes because I am respectful, responsible, and have a habit of leaving spaces better than I found them. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while making sure every pet receives the care and attention they need.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of various kinds, sizes, and ages, whether they were my own or a family/friend’s. I love to make them feel safe and loved!

About: It all started when I was 8 years old (24 now) and my mom brought home a tea cup yorkie that we named Daisy. She had puppies a few years later and there I was laying down in her closet where she gave birth, my mom and I were there helping her through birth along with bottle feeding the pups throughout the week. That is when the love for animals and my passion for learning about them began.I am one of the biggest animal lovers you will ever meet. In public a dog will catch my eye in a heart beat and I will have the biggest urge to run over and learn about the dog and give it tons of loving. All my family members already know to call me when I'm home for summer and they need someone to look and care after their pets at home. It is something that I truly take pride in because being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to know that your pet is getting the true caring necessary. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I am currently a Grad Student now beginning my masters program online which gives me tons of free time during the day to take on clients animals! Personally I will provide any care and specific accommodations for animals as long as long as I am instructed on the care needed. But as for my dog at home, I feed him once in the morning and once at night along with two 20 minute walks following each meal.
About: I’ve only recently fallen in love with cats. My old roommate and I adopted our first cat about 3 years ago, but she got to keep her in the move. I rescued my big ole chunky boy Otis from a family that was moving to another state and could not bring him. He is my best friend in the whole world! His best friend is my roommate’s cat, Toby, who I also love and take care of as if he were my own!
“Joyce and Patrick were so wonderful — they took care of Theo, my kitten, like their own pet. They really care and are genuine, flexible, and communicative. I loved the updates and photos of Theo while I was away and it would give me peace of mind. They are both very trustworthy and have good judgment with animals. I can tell Theo was well taken care of—and I would totally book with Joyce again!”
“Jenna was a great sitter for our cat Lana. We were out of town and she sent us photos and videos of Lana so we were assured Lana was doing well. She had a nice cattery for Lana to stay in. Jenna was also super responsive which was helpful in booking a sitter last minute. I would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to others!”

“Needed a last minute sitter and she really came through! I don’t think my puppy wanted to leave, she had so much fun. Good communication, pictures, and I know my pup got plenty of love. Thank you so much :)”
“Yu was a great dog sitter! His dogs got along well with my dog, he did walks around the neighborhood, and he took great pictures to show me throughout the day how my dog was doing so I can check in and feel assured that he was doing ok and happy. There was even a picture where my dog was happy playing in the grass under the sun in his backyard with his dogs with a smile on his face so I was really satisfied with his services. I will definitely book again. THANK YOU YU for taking great care of my son!”
“The absolute best! I feel so comfortable leaving Gia with them and their dogs! They sent so many photos as it was my first time using a dog sitter and my girl came home happy and tired! I would love to come back in the future! Thanks for loving on and taking care of my girl.”
About: I previously worked for one year at a professional cattery, where I cared for cats of different ages, personalities, and special needs.

I will not restrict the pet's freedom. If you want your pet to be in a cage, I can also accept the cage you bring yourself.
“Pamela is an incredibly caring person and dog lover. Her professional skills are an overwhelming bonus. As soon as she found out that my dog Finn was a rescue with separation issues she put a plan in motion to ensure his first visit went smoothly and was anxiety free (which it definitely was). She provided us with updates throughout the day and was incredibly attentive to all of our questions. We are planning to have Finn stay with Pamela again soon and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Elli had a fun-filled day at Michelle’s home. The 4-hour trial run was a success! Soon after drop off, Michelle sent me a photo of Elli making new friends out back. Her yard is impeccably clean and dog friendly. I was relieved that Elli adjusted quickly. She’s a bit timid and suffering from severe separation anxiety after losing our other dog last November. Elli will be back!!”
“We've been lucky enough to have Jenna do drop-ins for Snoop a few times a month, but due to an unexpected emergency this was the first time we had our pup over for day care at Jenna's house through the weekend. Jenna continuously kept me updated through pictures and videos, and we feel incredibly fortunate to know a safe and loving enrivormment is available for Snoop to socialize with other dogs! Thank you Jenna for going and above and beyond with each visit!”

“Karina was amazing with our dog Moon. She took him in last minute and took such grat care of him. This our first time using a dog service and we are booking Karina again. She gave us that piece of mind with text and pictures and any concerns we had with leaving our dog for the first time. 10/10 she is great.”
“There were a lot of logistics involved in my booking since my mom and I were switching off dropping off my dog, but Tammy was really flexible and understanding. She provided photo (and potty) updates regularly and made sure Coco always felt comfortable in her home. Coco will let us know if she ever feels uncomfortable somewhere, so it was a good sign when we came back every morning and she was happy to be there. We will definitely re-book with Tammy whenever we need a dogsitter!”

My home is clean, pet-friendly, and well-organized to ensure your pet stays comfortable. I’m experienced in handling different temperaments, and I always introduce new pets slowly and respectfully. With my knowledge of basic pet care and behavior, I make sure each animal feels safe, understood, and relaxed throughout their stay.
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes my whole life. My most recent girl, Carlie, was a 60lb Pittie/Husky mix and she loved running on the beach or going on long hikes! She unfortunately passed October of 2025 at the age of 16. The vet said he had never seen such a well taken care of senior. I’ve also pet-sat for many people over the years, including my sister’s two 100lb big babies who are wild with energy! I can handle the big dogs, but I also have a place in my heart for the little ones too! You could also say that I’m a bit of a crazy cat lady. I’m ready to walk, feed, treat, or even bathe if you need. I’m currently unemployed, so I’m all yours! My days look like coffee and snuggles with my cat Otis in the morning, a quick workout, a trip to the grocery store, and making a nice dinner for my roommate and I. I have one cat, and my roommate also has one cat and two small friendly dogs. We have a small fenced grass backyard for all animals to run and play.
About: It all started when I was 8 years old (24 now) and my mom brought home a tea cup yorkie that we named Daisy. She had puppies a few years later and there I was laying down in her closet where she gave birth, my mom and I were there helping her through birth along with bottle feeding the pups throughout the week. That is when the love for animals and my passion for learning about them began.I am one of the biggest animal lovers you will ever meet. In public a dog will catch my eye in a heart beat and I will have the biggest urge to run over and learn about the dog and give it tons of loving. All my family members already know to call me when I'm home for summer and they need someone to look and care after their pets at home. It is something that I truly take pride in because being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to know that your pet is getting the true caring necessary. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I am currently a Grad Student now beginning my masters program online which gives me tons of free time during the day to take on clients animals! Personally I will provide any care and specific accommodations for animals as long as long as I am instructed on the care needed. But as for my dog at home, I feed him once in the morning and once at night along with two 20 minute walks following each meal.
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog when they need me. I played and walked with them. Dogs love to play with me. I used to have a dog, fish and four hamsters in my house, and now I have two cats. I really love animals and like to play with them. I have plenty of time playing with your puppies after I send my kid to school in the morning. So basically, I’m free after 9am until 4pm. I have fenced yard that I can play balls or anything with your puppies. I can also take your puppies for a walk in our community. Our community has a nice environment. Many people walk their dogs in the neighborhood.
About: Hi! My name is Yasmin Aka Mimi. Dogs have such a beautiful space in my heart and soul since I can remember. They bring me peace and comfort every second. I love all kind of dogs, no matter the breed or age. I do have experience with as young as 10 months old to 18 years old dogs. What sets me apart is I’m very patient and my passion for dogs is very noticeable. Pet care is something that fits my schedule as I work from home. I can work mostly from any hour of the day and I do offer overnight care if needed as well. I love and enjoy to spend time with fur babies. I do live in an apartment and I know that causes people to fear their dogs don’t have the ability to spread their wings or run, but I do live near a dog park and I walk my dogs 3 times a day as I will care for your fur babies, all depends on the dog and their needs. They will be comfortable and I will provide the best care l can offer them and they will get their needs done and loved every second.
About: I feel I am fit to take care of any and all animals. All my career I have worked with animals big and small. No matter the situation I handle it in a professional manner and know exactly what to do. I am certified in grooming and pet safety. I can read animal behavior quite well. Your pet will be treated like my own! You will be happy with your services I provide! I have rescued, babysat, and groomed for many years. It's a passion of mine I enjoy very much! In my care your pups will feel like they are home, loved like my own, and exercised like they just went to the dog park! Your pup will go home happy and exhausted from all the loves and play! ! ! I am home full time so your pup always has me there for them, with the exceptions of short term errands I may run in the days your pup will be here. FOR BOARDING DOGS - I have a fully fenced yard and pups are monitored at all times in the yard! PSA expect your pup to be dusty/dirty from yard play and water play. Unfortunately over the years of having hundreds of pups flow through my home and the quantities taken at a time, growing and keeping grass has been unsuccessful so parts of the yard is dirt and a section of the center yard is turf. I offer bath services to small breeds currently as I’m currently only equipped for small breeds at this time. My yard features a doggy pool out every summer for those water lovers many shaded spots to lounge around and a 1970s fire hydrant all the boys love to do their business on 😆 I use vet grade cleaners and sanitizers regularly to maintain a clean environment for the puppers and boarding kitties. FOR BOARDING CATS- (profile currently under construction)

“Oi was so flexible, adaptable and went above and beyond to give Theo a bath and trimmed his nails. I’m so happy she was able to spend time with him, and he seems clean and relaxed. She definitely cared for him very well and knew to feed him an unreasonable number of times since he is a growing kitten. She is very nice and good to work with. I will definitely book again.”

“Caihua is the best dog sitter. She is a dog first sitter and has so much passion for dog! Her home also has a very large yard for the dogs to play in. She always updates with videos and really shows how much she cares about dogs. I would recommend her”
“Thank you, Suzhen! It was so great to have a safe place for our dog to stay. We really appreciated all the updates photos and videos. It helped to know our pup was doing well during his stay with you!”
“We used Robbie again to watch Otis, and once again he did a fantastic job. As a returning customer, I can say the consistency is what stands out most. Otis came home well exercised, calm, and even more obedient than before. It’s clear Robbie puts real care and attention into every stay. Highly recommend Robbie if you’re looking for a safe, caring place for your dog. Thanks again Robbie!”
