“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Jen and Stephanie were amazing with my Jack Russell. The space for the dogs outside is super secure and both Jen and Stephanie are so sweet with my pup. He’s a typical Jack Russell and his energy is unmatched- when I picked him up he was happy and cheerful like he was on vacation there :). Will def have Vincent stay with Jen and Stephanie again. Ten out of ten”
“Catherine took care of my senior dog Lovie this weekend while I was out of town for a funeral. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my little girl with her during this emotional time. She sent me pictures while I was gone, of my doggie on a walk and also of her sleeping peacefully. I would absolutely use her services again and will the next time I need it. I highly recommend her.”
“They are very kind, my puppy Max looked very happy. I am very grateful to them. Even though it was last minute, they agreed to take care of him. I will definitely contact you again in the future.”

“Sandra was wonderful! She was very welcoming, kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the weekend, and was flexible when we needed to pick our dog up a little later than planned. We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care and would happily have him stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Wow… i don’t even know where to start! Mystique, Richard and their amazing daughter Milan welcomed our dog Cooper with open arms into their home. They were an incredibly kind family and i felt very safe with cooper in their care. They watched Cooper during our wedding weekend and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stress free weekend. they even brought cooper to our wedding ceremony AND rehearsal the night before for us. I would recommend them 100000% to anyone to watch their pups and i know cooper can’t wait for the next time we leave town so he can stay with them again! thank you thank you thank you!!”

I treat every pet the way I’d want someone to treat mine: with consistency, affection, and respect for their space and needs. I’m home often and keep a consistent daily routine, so pet care fits in very naturally. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, and I’m always mindful of sticking to a pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. I always want to make sure your pet sees me as a companion and not as an intruder. I treat your home and your pet with a lot of care and respect. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and give them the right balance of play, affection, and calm time.
“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”
“Noemi took great care of my dogs Buddy and Loni. It was an extended stay of 8 days, and I was thrilled to learn they got so comfortable they played with the other dogs. Her set up of a double gate and great backyard makes it a wonderful, yet safe, backyard for the dogs to play in. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Julie and Scott! I highly recommend them, and we're so grateful to have found them. We reached out for a last-minute dog sitter over the holidays for our 8-year-old small terrier mix, Zazu. Zazu can be a little bossy and defensive with other dogs, which we gave them a heads up about since they have a big dog at home. Julie and Scott did an AMAZING job integrating Zazu into their home life and making her feel comfortable with them and their sweet dog, Snacks. They sent lots of wonderful photos, videos, and updates - including videos of Zazu playing happily with Snacks! Julie and Scott are both so friendly and warm, it's no surprise that Zazu felt comfortable with them immediately. They took her on many walks and let her cuddle with them in bed to sleep at night. My wife and I joked that Zazu wasn't going to want to come home at the end of the stay. We are so relieved and excited to have found them, and will 1,000% be reaching out to them for our next dog sitting need.”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”

I will absolutely be rebooking her in the future, thank you Shannon for being awesome and caring for my cats like they are yours. -Erica”

“Richelle is great. My cat, who hates everybody, really warmed up to her. Even took on feeding my turtles. I have used her services quite a few times in the past and will again. Friendly, communicative, and punctual. 5 stars!!”
“Alison was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From our initial meet-and-greet, I could immediately tell she was kind, patient, and genuinely loves animals. As a dog mom, that’s incredibly important to me, and she made me feel completely at ease. During her visit, she took Bentley on a nice walk, spent quality time with him, gave him lots of affection, and followed all of my care instructions perfectly. I could tell she treated him with the same love and attention he’s used to receiving, which meant so much to me. She also kept me updated throughout the visit, and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alison again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet as if they were their own.”
“Daniella did a fantastic job with our puppy during her drop in visits! She kept us in the loop with cute pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and went above and beyond to work on training and brushing. Would highly recommend!”
“Alexis did a phenomenal job of caring for my two cats. She was accommodating of everything I asked and took great care of them. She sent plenty of updates each day to keep me posted on the status of their health and what silly shenanigans they got into. My house was as I left it, it was like I wasn't even gone. What a pleasure to work with her. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“My husband and I highly recommend Peggy. We have 2 cats, and one is very anxious and she ALWAYS runs away when people come over… but not when Peggy came over to meet them on Friday, before we left for our trip. I was shocked when Althea didn’t bolt, and she also got down from the top level of the cat tree and sat down in the living room to observe and listen as we talked with Peggy. 1st time, ever, so it was a direct response to Peggy’s calm and friendly energy We had to attend a friend’s wedding near San Diego, and felt very confident that our “kids” were in very capable hands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
“I am very pleased with the way Dawn took care of my three cats and my house. The cats are happy and Dawn followed all of my instructions to a "T". I won't hesitate to book with Dawn the next time I travel.”

About: From a young age I would house sit for neighbors and would take care of their pets, whilst they were on vacation. I've taken care of older dogs that had special needs as well. I have been walking dogs for the past 5 years as a hobby, and as a way to stay healthy. When my friend's shoulder was dislocated I walked his Grey Wolf/Husky mix for him while he recovered. I am available most days, I have full availability on weekends, and late nights (10-11pm) all week for those dogs whom prefer cooler temperature walks. I am unable to host your dog at my home currently. I'm experienced in giving older dogs their medications including pills and Insulin. I can house sit and watch your pets while you are at work, on vacation, or even if it's just date night.
“Sierra (Kora) was very attentive to our dogs and cats. We didn't have any worry while we were away. She was very caring and communicative. She also sent pictures of our dogs every visit which we appreciated!”
About: We are a pet-centered family. Fur babies have been at the heart of our home for over 20 years. We've rescued dogs and cats across various stages of life, some with special needs, and loved them well into their senior years. We’re conveniently located near 101, making for an easy drop off and pickup. We provide personalized care, tailored to the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's adhering to the dietary requirements of their meals, administering medication, or modifying walks and play to accommodate any physical limitations or developmental needs. Animals of all types tend to gravitate to me. I'm patient and playful. If they just need a calm presence to cuddle with or a buddy to play fetch and get their zoomies out, I adapt to the needs of your pet. Our home is filled to the brim with a love for pets and their care. My wife leads a community for pet parents and my daughter is a future vet who makes every animal she meets her best friend and desires to rescue as many she can. I'm a retired engineer and my wife works from home. Pets are family and our schedules are adjusted accordingly to ensure they are not alone. I love nature and giving pets the opportunity to relax and play where they feel the most comfortable. We can walk the park grounds right outside our door, relax on the deck, or snuggle on the couch. We can also hop in the Jeep and go exploring if they prefer. Every pet is different and my goal is to always meet them right where they are.
About: I have taken care of cats for friends and family for nearly 20 years, including newborn kittens and their mamas. I also have experience with senior cats and distributing medication.

I can’t wait to meet you and your kitty!
About: I provide more than just walks—I give personalized care tailored to each dog. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs pets, including administering medications and gentle training. Your furry friend gets safe, attentive care and lots of love while you’re away. During the work week, my routine includes dedicated evening walks to decompress after the office. However, I leave my weekends entirely open for 'dog time.' My weekly routine involves taking longer hikes or providing more intensive care on my days off, making me a great fit for owners who need a reliable sitter for weekend trips or Friday night events. I focus on maintaining your pet's exact routine to keep them stress-free. My care includes structured morning and evening exercise, fresh food/water, and a focus on home security.

About: I have been a dog mom coming up for 9 years. The love and care I have for my own I enjoy giving to all dogs. At the moment I do not have a job that requires me to be at a certain location during the day so I am free mornings and afternoons. I make sure all pets are walking normally before and after and make sure that they don't consume anything off the streets. My main goal is to make sure dogs are tired or atleast distracted during their walk so they get the sense that they went out and can get a good nap in after.

About: I was born into a family with Saint Bernards, and over my lifetime have owned seven Saints plus an English Mastiff, a pittie mix, a cat, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I've been described by friends and family as a dog whisperer, and I can't help but make friends with any dog I see. I've been dogsitting for friends and family on the side for years now, doing overnight visits, extended stays, and drop-ins for potty, walks, and meals. I love cats and dogs of all sizes, but I've always had a soft spot for the giant breeds. I was a cross country runner and still live an active lifestyle, so long walks and runs are no problem. I can also do transportation to vet visits, doggy day care or walks at dog parks, etc. I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am widely available for scheduling. I have a few steady clients with regular visits, but I can work with you and figure out the best schedule! As a lifelong animal owner, I understand the needs of many animals, as well as the feelings that owners have towards their furry friends. My initial clients were friends, but through the established trust and word of mouth recommendations, that list has grown. When doing overnight or extended stays, I will always bring in the mail, take out the trash, and perform any other household duties you may need. I've cared for sick dogs, handled emergency situations, and taken care of urine and other medical samples for my clients. Whatever you need, I can accommodate.
About: I really focus on making pets feel safe and at ease by sticking to their routines and respecting their personalities. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive. I treat every pet the way I’d want someone to treat mine: with consistency, affection, and respect for their space and needs. I’m home often and keep a consistent daily routine, so pet care fits in very naturally. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, and I’m always mindful of sticking to a pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. I always want to make sure your pet sees me as a companion and not as an intruder. I treat your home and your pet with a lot of care and respect. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and give them the right balance of play, affection, and calm time.
About: I’ve been taking care of exotic animals for about five years now in a zoo or sanctuary setting however within the past three years it has been specific to exotics cats such as tigers and lions. I have a deep passion for animals and find so much joy being able to help them in any way that I can. Not only did I work with exotics during that time but domestics as well such as dogs and cats and even on occasion rabbits. I have a lot of experience giving medications and dealing with difficult animals. I am excited for the opportunity and to help more animals! I’m currently working part time but my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have enough of a notice, I can make it work anytime during the week! I have two boxers, a chihuahua and two cats at home and treat them as if they are my own kids (because they are) I will treat your babies the same! I believe that just because animals can’t speak for themselves doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice and I believe it is our job to take care of them to the best of our abilities and to be their voice. I have experience crating, giving medication, and with difficult dogs or cats. I can help in any way for your babies to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!

“Melissa was a Wonderful Dog Walker for my 2 year old Lab/Shepard Mix... She Never Missed a Day.. She Carried her 4 month old Baby in a backpack while she Walked. She had to take a break to tend to her growing Baby...”
About: Hi! I am a pet owner for over 14+ years. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and fish, I’ve had them. I’m so happy to say that all have lived happy lives with so much care and love from family. Plus tons of my family members are vets so I’ve had the amazing opportunity to meet different animals and learn all about them. This allowed me to understand animals and cater to their needs rather than be confused and let them be. I’ve also taken care of 3 cats, 5 dogs, and 3 kids all at once, so I believe I’m pretty trustworthy and responsible haha. In my house, your animal is like my own and will be given all the love in the world. Regardless, I always put pets needs over mine because they are the special creatures in Life that need all the love and care they can get :)
About: I grew up taking care of animals. I currently have one Russian Tortoise, one pug, and two chihuahuas. One is diabetic so I have experience with giving insulin injections and monitoring pet health. I have house sat and pet sat for years. I also worked at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for one year and worked with animals and conservation. I am currently a student and have plenty of availability. I have class Monday and Tuesday from 3-7 pm, and Thursday from 4-5pm, but can work around it. I live in a an apartment in a safe community, with a gated yard. I have a doggy door for access to the yard. There are tons of walking paths around.
About: Hello, my name is Chantal and I have always had a love for dogs and animals as a whole. As a kid I was raised in a home where we never once went without a dog in the home, so you could say I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. And as a fellow doggie parent I understand that the comfort of dogs always comes first. Though I don’t have career experience with pets, I have done dog sitting in the past for family friends which included a wide variety of breeds and different temperaments. Although I don’t have professional experience with dogs, I hope to give all dogs the same level of love and care that I have since I was a child. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which means I have most of the day to take care of my pets needs, including walks, feeding etc. As a dog walker I would love to offer that time to help take care of someone else’s pets needs for some good exercise and comfort. I currently live in a two bedroom apt with a balcony, but no backyard, so I always make sure to walk my own pets in a timely manner so they can have their potty breaks comfortably. I have access to a vehicle so I would apply this to any dog I visit to walk them, regardless of wether that live in an apartment, or a big house with a backyard.
About: Hello there! I have hands-on experience caring for a puppy for around two months, including helping with daily routines, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I also volunteered with PAWS for Reading, where I helped with reading dogs and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and making animals feel calm, comfortable, and supported. I’m dependable, attentive, and careful about following instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or any special routine your pet needs. I’ll treat your pet with care, respect, and attention like they’re my own. I am currently available at any time that suits your schedule. Kindly go ahead and book an appointment with me, and I assure you that I will respond to your request in a timely manner. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a clean, calm, and supervised environment, follow care instructions closely, and make sure pets have what they need throughout the day, including attention, routine, and gentle care.

At the moment I do not have a job that requires me to be at a certain location during the day so I am free mornings and afternoons. I make sure all pets are walking normally before and after and make sure that they don't consume anything off the streets. My main goal is to make sure dogs are tired or atleast distracted during their walk so they get the sense that they went out and can get a good nap in after.
About: A dog owner for 20 years. I’ve done rescue, foster, and hospice care for 10 years. Whether you have a shy rescue who needs time, a young pup not potty trained, or senior dog needing love while you’re away; I can handle it all. Dogs in my care get snuggles, treats, long walks, and dog park fun. I’m active duty military but not deploying at this time. Im not working and available all day until the end of September. Any day/any time I can assist you with your dogs. For walking: I’m available anytime. I will have my baby with me either in a carrier or stroller. For boarding: I have two dogs (1 small, 1 medium) that love to play and a baby boy. My apartment has lots of grass for potty time and a dog park within walking distance. I have a balcony with an outdoor bed if your dog loves to sunbathe. If your puppy is too young/old or not vaccinated to safely walk on public streets, I can set up a potty station on the balcony.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds growing up. I love animals and have so much fun taking care of them. I love volunteering at local animal shelters.

“Tiantian sent us a lot of photos and updates. Our dog is high-energy, but she managed to keep her on an even keel and when we picked our dog up she was happy and was in high spirits.”
“Bethany was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute care, and she responded right away and met with us quickly to make it happen. Rezzi instantly got along with her sweet pup, Momo, and I received daily photo updates that kept me at ease. Bethany works from home, has a small backyard for playtime, and made sure Rezzi got her daily walks. Rezzi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Bethany again!”
“They are very kind, my puppy Max looked very happy. I am very grateful to them. Even though it was last minute, they agreed to take care of him. I will definitely contact you again in the future.”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“They were awesome, and I mean AWESOME! Nice safe space, fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood. I felt guilty taking back my dog from their kids, I could tell they gave my Ziggy so much love, and didn't want him to go even. Wonderful family, I will be back for sure.”
“Wow… i don’t even know where to start! Mystique, Richard and their amazing daughter Milan welcomed our dog Cooper with open arms into their home. They were an incredibly kind family and i felt very safe with cooper in their care. They watched Cooper during our wedding weekend and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stress free weekend. they even brought cooper to our wedding ceremony AND rehearsal the night before for us. I would recommend them 100000% to anyone to watch their pups and i know cooper can’t wait for the next time we leave town so he can stay with them again! thank you thank you thank you!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”
“Noemi took great care of my dogs Buddy and Loni. It was an extended stay of 8 days, and I was thrilled to learn they got so comfortable they played with the other dogs. Her set up of a double gate and great backyard makes it a wonderful, yet safe, backyard for the dogs to play in. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“This was the first time Royce did an overnight with other doggies so I was a little nervous but omg he came home so happy, calm and exhausted from all the play time and socializing! Lorri was great at sending updates which put me at ease! Royce had a wonderful time making new friends 🙂I will definitely rebook when I’m in town again!”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Julie and Scott! I highly recommend them, and we're so grateful to have found them. We reached out for a last-minute dog sitter over the holidays for our 8-year-old small terrier mix, Zazu. Zazu can be a little bossy and defensive with other dogs, which we gave them a heads up about since they have a big dog at home. Julie and Scott did an AMAZING job integrating Zazu into their home life and making her feel comfortable with them and their sweet dog, Snacks. They sent lots of wonderful photos, videos, and updates - including videos of Zazu playing happily with Snacks! Julie and Scott are both so friendly and warm, it's no surprise that Zazu felt comfortable with them immediately. They took her on many walks and let her cuddle with them in bed to sleep at night. My wife and I joked that Zazu wasn't going to want to come home at the end of the stay. We are so relieved and excited to have found them, and will 1,000% be reaching out to them for our next dog sitting need.”
“Allie was an amazing sitter for my 8 month old husky, Mairi. She was very nice and professional. She updated me with pictures and videos all throughout the stay. Mairi looked so happy in every single picture and video and she was so tired when she got home. 10/10”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I've spent my life caring for both dogs and cats.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.
“Gracie and Emilio went above and beyond to care for our dog! They took her on daily walks, played at the park, and sent lots of photos to keep us updated. They have a great outdoor space and their dog Gigi was such a fun playmate for our active dog. Would highly recommend them caring for your pup and will definitely book again!”
