“James was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my best friend with him! Not only did it seem like he truly enjoyed taking care of animals but was also knowledgeable and experienced. If I am ever near Dana Point again, I’d used James in a heart beat!”
“Cienya did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Charlie. She is very personable and easy going. Her home has a perfect backyard for doggies to play and enjoy the outdoors safely. She took Charlie on walks and sent pictures daily. Charlie seemed very relaxed and happy in her home. I will gladly rebook when needed in the future.”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! p.s. tips are never expected but alwaysss appreciated;) I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“I I had a last minute meeting that I had to go out of town for and Tara responded immediately. When I met her and her darling little Shih Tzu I felt immediately at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the day and communicated that Luna was doing great would absolutely recommend leaving your precious pup with Tara.”
“My “girls” had a great time with Maria and Robert, I could tell by the pics and video they sent me. After meeting them I felt completely confident leaving my “girls” with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thanks Maria and Robert!,”
“If you haven’t used Steph G., you are missing out!!!! She is absolutely the BEST and you will have 100% complete peace of mind knowing that your fur baby is being taken care of while you are away. You will receive photos and updates throughout the day and your baby will have the best time hanging with Steph G. My baby, Walter, is depressed when I pick him up because he doesn’t want to leave all the ‘fun’ at her place! Book her now!”
“Kelleen took great care of our dog while we went on vacation. We received daily pictures and updates and our pup seemed happy and well cared for upon our return. Thank you Kelleen!”
“Kelly is truly incredible! I felt really comfortable leaving my high energy puppy with her. She sent fun photos and videos and did an amazing job watching him while I was away.”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
“Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving our 11-month-old mini Bernedoodle, Leo. Eric and Allison were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leo was not just being cared for — he was part of their family while we were away. He had the best time playing with Moose and his dog buddies, and he definitely misses the kiddos too! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and that means everything. We will 100% use Eric and Allison again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving sitters. 🐶💕”
“Lorelle was super responsive and took great care of our dogs. We got daily pictures of them having fun and knew they were in great hands while we were away. Thanks again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Claudia was amazing with our dog, Marleau! She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved since he has so much energy. She was in constant communication and sent photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how attentive she was to details, especially making sure he got his allergy medication. Marleau came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Claudia again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“Jocelyn was attentive, response, kind and patient to my little Almond. I received many pictures and updates during her stay. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Jocelyn!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: My cats are absolutely my whole life. I spent many years thinking that cats weren’t a social /affectionate animal until I began researching in anticipation of owning my own cat. My cats are the most well adjusted, social and friendly /affectionate cats. I understand not all cats are and how important boundaries and respect is with cats. I love all cats, and I’d love to meet more !
About: I have cared for my own pets my whole life almost always had one in the house. Have consistently watched neighbors, family and coworkers pets. My biggest job has been caring for 4 cats and 3 dogs in the same home. I am happy to care for animals with specific medical needs as well as puppies. I am working as a teachers assistant my hours vary during the week but I am free every evening and morning and all day on weekends. I am very flexible and willing to bend to whatever needs and schedule the animals require. I am 5 9’ and strong enough to handle larger dogs this has not been a problem for me since my family owns a Bernese.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm an active person who loves long walks, playtime, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I'll follow your care instructions closely and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a goofy one-year-old cocker spaniel named Gus and take him for daily walks, play fetch, and give him lots of treats. I work full time but work from home on Tuesdays and am able to fit pet care into my work schedule. My weekends are usually free for dog time. We have a fenced in patio that dogs love to explore and bask in the sunlight on the couch. My dog, Gus, is friendly and enjoys playing with others.
About: Hi! My name is Kaitlin- I’m a 30- something moving to Dana Point to be with my fiance. I’m a clinical pharmacist studying for my law exam to become licensed here. In the mean-time I’d like something to keep me busy, put a smile on my face and keep my golden doodle socialized (when or if desired). This is something we did back in Texas in our free time through a different platform. My time in the hospital has made me sensitive to medically complex animals that need more TLC. I’m also an avid distance runner so we can get some miles in for more active breeds. I will follow up to make an activity plan of what exactly we will do with our time together. I’m open to a pre-visit meet and greet. It is hard to leave our precious cargo with just anyone. MSG us- we’re available! Hi!

“Victoria was reliable, trust-worthy, and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy during our extended time away. We appreciate her services and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Isabel was the absolute best! Prompt, communicative and so incredibly kind. This was our first dog sitting experience outside of friends and family and she truly eased any fears we had. Would recommend her 1000x over! Thank you, Isabel!”
About: Animals tend to be very fond of me. I enjoy playing with active pets and I always take their comfort level seriously. I also am extremely tidy and do my best to keep things as they were when I arrived. I work three days a week, eight hours, Monday through Wednesday until 2pm. Besides that my schedule is pretty flexible. I can always bounce around too Something I never forget to do is keep everything locked and for the most part the animal will not be out of my sight unless I have to work, which will be communicated prior to the visit.
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I also work with horses. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, extra scratches, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve.
“Mariia was so amazing! She took care of my two cats and fed our fish for us while away for thanksgiving. She was really quick to respond to my messages and communicated well, which made me feel at ease knowing my animals were greats hands! I would highly recommend Mario’s and I will definitely use her again!!😁”
“We are so thrilled to have found Kari. She was the absolute perfect person to care for our kitty who was recovering from post-surgery complications. We were nervous to leave Simba after everything that happened to him recently, but Kari assuaged all of our fears. Kari took such great care of him, following his annoyingly strict medicine and food schedule. She watched for any litterbox issues. She stayed in constant contact with us and sent so many photos showing us how happy Simba was to have her there. Kari also left our house in immaculate condition and brought in packages. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing sitter and can't wait for her to care for Simba in the future! Thank you, Kari!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising two Frenchies and a Chihuahua. I also care for loved ones’ pets when needed, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. Since I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate my full attention to caring for pets. My days are focused on providing love, playtime, walks and companionship, making sure your furry friend feels happy and well cared for throughout the day and/or night. I’m available to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll keep up with their usual routine–feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. When the dogs are calm and resting, I will use that quiet time to tidy up and clean around the house, so everything looks even better than when you left. It’s all about keeping your pets and home happy!
About: My whole life I’ve always had at least one cat in my household. At the moment, I have a 16 year old tortoiseshell (pictured in profile) who I love and adore :) I’ve dealt with almost everything a typical cat-owner would go through such as cleaning litter boxes, dealing with UTI infections, administering medication, and of course can’t forget about the zoomies.
“We love Cheryl! She watched our furbaby for a week and sent pictures and updates everyday. We were worried about leaving him for so long this time, but he was totally fine and very well taken care of. So happy to have found a reliable sitter for our furbaby.”
“Christina took care of my cat in her home for two weeks. She was patient with him adjusting to being in a strange home and treated her as well as her own cat. She was able to introduce him slowly to her 15 year old cat which he loved. Was so much better than leaving him alone or in a boarding facility. She also provided regular updates/photos/videos. He came home looking healthy . Thank you Christina.”

I was hosting my family for our reunion & had several changes to the drop off & pickup time & she was so flexible & gracious. Out of all the Rover sitters I have used - she made me feel the most comfortable leaving my dog with her. I will definitely be having Doreen watch my girl again & highly recommend!”

“Veronika & Marcus took the best care of my puppy! They are so patient, kind and loving and I would trust them anytime. Their sweet dog Maverick is my pup’s new BFF and had the best day away at daycare 🐾”
“Diana and Emily watched our dogs, Yoshi and Stitch, for an all-day doggy daycare while we went to the zoo. Diana and Emily were flexible, communicative, and our dogs had a great time. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Diana and Emily to anyone looking for sitters that will care for your dogs the way you do.”
About: We don’t currently have any pets at home. However we both grew up with dogs and have had plenty of experience dog sitting our friends’ and family’s doodles and cats. The most rewarding moments come from seeing their genuine smiles after a good exercise or meal! We mostly work from home and occasionally go into the office a couple times a week. When we work from home, we can take regular breaks outdoors which allow us to board and or walk your dogs. We prefer caring for pets in our home. We like to pet proof the home to be void of potential toxins or physical danger. We live a very routined lifestyle so will find it very easy to fit your dog’s routine into our life style.
“Mariia is a great sitter! She was well attentive to my dog Coco’s needs and sent me pics of my dog during her stay. I felt very comfortable with Mariia taking care of Coco because I can see she takes good care of her dogs and other dogs as well. Looking forward to rebook another stay for my dog.”
“So grateful for Brenda! We needed a last minute sitter for our pup due to a cancellation and I don’t think we could’ve picked anyone better. She was so welcoming! Our pup loved her and her family and Brenda updated us throughout the day along with pictures! Highly recommend and I would definitely book her again.”
“Brooklyn was treated like a visiting queen. Carmen and her son made Brooklyn feel right at home, gave her walks, sent us pictures, and delivered lots of snuggles. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: For 18+ years, I have cared for dogs--not only the family dogs (rescues included), but for others who have needed help with walking or overnight stays. I am retired, so my time is very flexible. I can easily flex my schedule as needed. I have great experience walking dogs in Laguna Beach. I give each dog the personal attention they need as I can easily fit care in throughout my week. I am happy to walk your dog in the Laguna Beach neighborhood. I have a nice area in my yard for dogs that is fenced in where I can throw balls or frisbees or a toy of choice, if you prefer for me to watch them at my house during the walk or playtime.
About: I adopted my rescue dog Fitzy in 2021, and he quickly became such a special part of my life. Watching him grow into the loving, happy, and well-adjusted dog he is today has been incredibly rewarding. Caring for him has taught me a lot about patience, trust, and understanding each pet’s individual personality and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. And I love when Fitzy has a play mate too! I work from home full time, so your pup will have plenty of company throughout the day! Our routine includes morning and evening walks, with shorter potty breaks during the day. A few times a week, I like to hit the trails at Sea Summit for some extra fresh air and exercise. At home, there’s a patio perfect for sunbathing and a window sill with a prime spot for neighborhood watch! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have a pet-friendly home with a secure patio and plenty of cozy spots to relax. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know your fur child is happy and well cared for.
About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.
“Teresa was wonderful. She communicated in a timely way and was very kind. She is so calming and even my anxious dogs were able to relax with her. She played with my energetic 1yo pup and both pups got plenty of sunshine with her in her back yard.”
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, I’ve spent more than 35 years around dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve cared for all kinds, including a disabled Jack Russell, and my two beloved Boxers who are no longer with us. My 5-year-old son, Jackson, adores animals too, and together we’d love to welcome your pup into our home and treat them like family. I work from home full-time and am available every day to provide attentive, consistent care. Your pet will receive the best possible treatment and plenty of love while staying with us. I have a fenced backyard with grass, perfect for safe playtime. I also love going on walks and will make sure your pet gets lots of exercise and attention, just let me know their routine!
“We felt super comfortable leaving our dog with Jaycee. She was warm and friendly and took great care of him. It was so convenient to drop our dog with a responsible and helpful person. So thankful to her for the excellent service and flexibility!”

“Dorothy was amazing with our boys and very communicative. We appreciated her timeliness and ability to work with our blind dog. She sent photos and updates and followed our instructions. We would definitely use Dorothy again for our boys.”
“My wife and I needed a dog walker last minute. We also needed someone to come by early. Amy was very professional. She continuously gave me updates on the walk. This was my first time using a hired dog walker and Amy made me and my wife feel very comfortable. We very much appreciate Amy and the effort she took to walk our dog.”
“Victoria was available on short notice to walk our dog. She responded quickly, followed the directions perfectly and even offered to bring our sweet girl down to the harbor for a special walk! She gave her long walks & We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Bree. I’ve always had animals in my life, and I genuinely love being around them. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve lived with several roommates’ dogs over the years, which means I’ve spent a lot of time caring for different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve learned how to read their moods, understand their needs, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I also have a close friend who is a professional pet trainer, and I often ask them for advice whenever I want to make sure I’m doing what’s best for the pets I care for. Because of that, I get the benefit of expert insight along with real-world, hands-on experience. My approach is simple: I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I’ll talk to them, I’ll be patient with them, I’ll respect their boundaries, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and listened to. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful outing, or some quiet company at home, I’ll show up for them every single time. I work part time and go to school part time so I have mornings & afternoons free Monday-Thursday and after that I do attend school from 5pm-10pm those days. I work 4-10pm on Fridays -Sundays and I am available before and after those hours. I can follow any instructions needed to optimize care for your fur family. I will make sure all doors and cabinets to places they shouldn’t be in are secured and they are always safe.
“Andrea was super helpful and responsive. I made a mistake with my address in Rover and she reached out quickly and was very kind about the whole situation. Highly recommend & will hopefully book with her again in the future :)”
“Kelsey is a one of a kind dog-sitter. From the start, her communication was consistent and friendly. My dog, Birdy, took an immediate liking to her and I felt totally relaxed as Kelsey’s care for her was as if Birdy was her own. Throughout their time together, Kelsey updated me with videos and pictures and took extra care in assuring my home was safely locked up and secure before she left. Kelsey went above and beyond and I will be thrilled to use her expertise again soon. Thank you!!!”

About: I provide steady, detail‑focused care with a professional approach that works well for both dogs and cats. I keep my schedule intentionally limited so every pet gets consistent attention and a predictable routine. I have experience with dog training, caring for senior animals and providing TLC to each animal I encounter. I keep my client list limited so that I can provide excellent care to each animal. I am available for drop ins, dog walking and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. I make sure to ask details such as where the extra pet food, toys, leashes etc are located.

About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals.

The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.
About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had at least one furry friend in my house (dogs and cats). I’ve also dog sat for friends and family over the course of my life. This includes senior dogs and cats that need a little bit of extra supervision (including administering medication) and care. I am currently working part-time 25hrs per week 5-hour shifts and am typically off at around 10pm. Therefore, I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends before and after when I do work. More than happy to spend the night taking care of your pet(s) as well. Message me for more accurate details pertaining to my schedule as it can vary from week to week. I have a fenced yard, and can crate your dog(s) if needed. I would provide your pets with all the love they can ask for as well as physical stimulation through walks and playtime with pet toys. If applicable, I am also happy to take your pet to a dog friendly park or beach if that is something that would interest you (and your furry friend[s].)

While I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve also been dog sitting for as long as I can remember for neighbors, family friends, etc. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and will always treat your animals like they were my own. I adore my own dogs and they are my whole life. I understand leaving your animals in the care of someone else can be scary and can cause anxiety for both humans and pets so I am always upfront and communicate to keep you updated. I would love to be able to take one stressor off your plate by taking good care of your animals! I’m currently in school for nursing and I do have some full days, but I am always flexible to work around my schedule. I know it in advance as well and can be upfront to see if it would be a good fit. I’m comfortable just stopping in, staying at your place, truly whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Im very used to having a lot on my plate and having a schedule so I can always make one work. I am not able to board animals but I can stay at your house, do multiple drop ins throughout the day, etc. I’m flexible! I will always update you when I get there and when I’m leaving so you know the care your animal is getting!

“James was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my best friend with him! Not only did it seem like he truly enjoyed taking care of animals but was also knowledgeable and experienced. If I am ever near Dana Point again, I’d used James in a heart beat!”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! p.s. tips are never expected but alwaysss appreciated;) I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“My “girls” had a great time with Maria and Robert, I could tell by the pics and video they sent me. After meeting them I felt completely confident leaving my “girls” with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thanks Maria and Robert!,”
“If you haven’t used Steph G., you are missing out!!!! She is absolutely the BEST and you will have 100% complete peace of mind knowing that your fur baby is being taken care of while you are away. You will receive photos and updates throughout the day and your baby will have the best time hanging with Steph G. My baby, Walter, is depressed when I pick him up because he doesn’t want to leave all the ‘fun’ at her place! Book her now!”
“Kelly is truly incredible! I felt really comfortable leaving my high energy puppy with her. She sent fun photos and videos and did an amazing job watching him while I was away.”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
“Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving our 11-month-old mini Bernedoodle, Leo. Eric and Allison were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leo was not just being cared for — he was part of their family while we were away. He had the best time playing with Moose and his dog buddies, and he definitely misses the kiddos too! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and that means everything. We will 100% use Eric and Allison again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving sitters. 🐶💕”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Claudia was amazing with our dog, Marleau! She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved since he has so much energy. She was in constant communication and sent photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how attentive she was to details, especially making sure he got his allergy medication. Marleau came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Claudia again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, cats, horses, and goats. My first job was at a pet shelter and later on as a veterinary assistant technician. I love taking dogs on long walks and runs. I’m experienced at handling dogs of all sizes and great at reading animal behavior. I have two senior dogs. I work full time but have time during the evenings and weekend to take care of your pet. I have time for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I have a fenced yard and two small old senior dogs who are dog friendly. Even though I have a fenced yard, I think it’s important to walk dogs several times a day to stimulate them.
“Leslie was absolutely amazing. The sweetest person on earth, she was so patient and so willing to do everything for my dog. My dog was very anxious and was having a little bit of the bubble guts for this trip and she was so willing to take care of him even with the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend her to anybody staying in the area and need somebody to watch their dog for a couple of days or even just for a day.”
“Lisa, is so sweet, and a great communicator. She took lots of pictures of Lucy and kept me informed of how things were going. Her home is beautifully decorated and immaculate. She has it perfectly setup for dog sitting. Lisa took Lucy for many walks, car rides and outtings all the things Lucy loves to do. When I picked Lucy up she was happy, clean and pooped out from all the fun.”
“Beth and her daughters did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs. Beth stayed at the house for a week, and not only gave the pups lots of time, love and attention, but she left the place spotless (she also fed my daughter's bird)! She sent us photos every day and gave us ample updates, so communication was a breeze. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Niko had a fantastic stay with Roxy! He had some separation anxiety but Roxy made him feel part of her family and at home right away. Roxy’s patience, affection and understanding of Niko was beyond expectation and I’m SO grateful to have met her to help me occasionally with Niko’s care. I received pictures and feedback of his day and had no issue with communication. Roxy was flexible to my timeline and her place was in pristine condition. A wonderful and interesting person who knows and understands dogs of all breeds. Thank you again for having Niko to enable me to spend time away. Thank you for making him feel right at home 💕”
“Radhika is amazing to say the least. She is a dog whisperer for sure and also a very thoughtful person. She kept Poppy super safe, healthy and even sent us pics through our trip. We are so grateful we got to meet Radhika. Poppy missed her already!”
