“Madison was amazing watching indie while we were away! We got pictures and videos each day which really help us feel at ease leaving her knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Madison in the future!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!”
“Linda was the absolute best! A loving, gentle, and thoughtful person from beginning to end. She was very caring and attentive to my dog, and I could tell my dog mutually enjoyed spending time with Linda. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog; they’ll be in good hands. Thank you Linda!”
“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Our dog had the best vacation with Bernice! We were happy with her communication and our dog looked so in every picture. We will definitely contact her next time we go out of town.”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Savanah, thank you again for watching Kate. I appreciate the flexibility on pick up. Overall everything went great. Receding the pictures of all the adventures was nice.”
“Ana was so helpful in caring for our dog last minute! We needed to board our dog with almost no notice and then I even booked the stay for one day short. Ana was so accommodating and treated our dog like family.”
“Erica is fantastic! Our Bodhi is a bit of a nervous pup and has never stayed in a stranger's house before. He did really great with Erica. She sent lots of updates which we appreciated. Will definitely use again!”
“Christina did a great job taking care of my dog Dickens! She is a caring person and I know my dog was in good hands. Dickens has a lot of health issues and so I was apprehensive to leave him with someone new but she was careful to give him his medication and followed my instructions. She checked in with me to let me know he was doing well. I will definitely have Dickens visit with Christina again if she is available when I need a petsitter. I really appreciate that she took such good care of him and I know he did too! Thanks again Christina!”
“Whitney is kind with great communication. It seems she took very good care of my girls and that makes me happy. I searched for the perfect sitter for months before booking Whitney and I’m happy to say I’ll continue to hire her. Thank you!”

“Ashley is my go to cat sitter! I appreciate her flexibility, love and wisdom for animals, and her kind personality. Sola loves her! She takes pictures - keeping me abreast of what’s Sola is up to.

I’m grateful that I’ve found Ashley -knowing Sola is in good hands lessens my worries when I travel!!”
“We have used Martha for both dog walking and drop in visits for our cats. She did a great job with both! I appreciate her thorough updates and numerous pictures she sends of our babies!”

“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”
“Sahba was an incredible sitter. From the first time she met my cats to the last time, they absolutely loved her. She took so many photos and videos of them playing and it was really comforting. She was very communicative, did great with handling my cat’s medicine, helped them with true enrichment, and treated my home wonderfully.”
About: I can understand cats a lot. They are very independent animals who like their own space and I’ve always respected that.. they approach me a lot because they are very comfortable with me because of my understanding of them so we make really good friends.
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for them. I’m comfortable with different cat personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent, and I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I truly love animals, I pay close attention to each pet’s unique habits, comfort levels, and routines.
“Highly Recommend! We have been having Shelby and Dalton look after our indoor/outdoor cats (Shag and Tiki) for a couple of years now and have always been so pleased with their level of care.”
About: I treat every cat like the refined little royalty they are. I’m gentle, patient, and truly love cats. I take time to understand their personalities, whether playful or shy. I’m also happy to handle litter cleaning, meds, and all the small details that keep your cat healthy and happy.
“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
“Annalisa was great with my sweet Little Kitty! I was able to book on short notice and Annalisa offered to meet beforehand which I thought was nice (especially since I didn’t have to bring it up!) When we met she was very thorough with what was needed and ran everything back to me so I knew she understood (again, she did this all on her own). My Kitty is normally very shy when others watch her but she was super comfortable with Annalisa. I will definitely be using her again for my cat sitting needs!”
“Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!”
“Lindsey is absolutely awesome with our cats. Our little shy, skittish kitty just loves her. We love using her to drop in when we are away. She goes above an beyond to help with everything that comes up when we are travelling.”
“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

Pet care is something I love to make time for. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule so your pets are always cared for when you need. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a front yard and a fenced backyard where pets can explore safely under supervision. My senior cat is very laid-back, so your pet can enjoy a calm, friendly atmosphere while in my care.
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”
“Berenice is the absolute best!!! And her Doggies Mango and Molly are so patient and precious!! I was very nervous about leaving my 3 month old Storm for the first time, but Berenice made me feel so comfortable. Storm had the best day in her care and I'll be a repeat customer on a consistent basis. Thank you for treating Storm like one of your own. Truly Top Quality!!”
“10/10 would recommend Charlie and Shanna! They kept our pup while we vacationed to San Diego and were so amazing to us! They gave updates, were super flexible and were a great first experience with Rover!”

“Reviewing Loren for the 10 days she cared for our 2 dogs and 1 cat.

She followed instructions, and took incentive to notify us about any concerns with our pets or alarm system Thanks, Loren! —Kelly and Ted”

“Justine is great 👍. Hoppy doesn't always like to walk when it's warm outside so she will play with her in the house. She's very attentive to Hoppy's needs. We are sad that she moved out of Long Beach, she will be missed.”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

“Madison was amazing watching indie while we were away! We got pictures and videos each day which really help us feel at ease leaving her knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Madison in the future!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Charles was awesome! He took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is anxious with new people, but he definitely knows what he’s doing and quickly earned her (and my) trust. He was very easy to work with and my dogs had a great time. I will definitely come back to him next time! Highly recommend!”
“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Mark and Christina were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dogs and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. They were kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating — I never once worried about my pups while they were with them. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I couldn’t recommend them more — truly the kind of people you hope to find when you need someone trustworthy and compassionate to watch your pets.”
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Savanah, thank you again for watching Kate. I appreciate the flexibility on pick up. Overall everything went great. Receding the pictures of all the adventures was nice.”
“Erica is fantastic! Our Bodhi is a bit of a nervous pup and has never stayed in a stranger's house before. He did really great with Erica. She sent lots of updates which we appreciated. Will definitely use again!”
“Christina did a great job taking care of my dog Dickens! She is a caring person and I know my dog was in good hands. Dickens has a lot of health issues and so I was apprehensive to leave him with someone new but she was careful to give him his medication and followed my instructions. She checked in with me to let me know he was doing well. I will definitely have Dickens visit with Christina again if she is available when I need a petsitter. I really appreciate that she took such good care of him and I know he did too! Thanks again Christina!”
“Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)”
“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“Kirsten took great care of Harley while we were away. She provided regular updates with photos and video and went above and beyond in making sure our dog felt at home. Highly recommend!”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Erika was a wonderful caretaker for my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures every single day. My dog looked so relaxed and happy at her place! I can tell he had a great time with her doggie too. I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!”
“Eli spent almost 2 weeks here and I can’t recommend it enough! The communication, constant photos/videos, and the facilities were all fantastic. We will definitely be coming back!”
