“Haru’s 3rd time with Albina and I can say she’s very comfortable with her! She’s very patient with Haru, very responsive and accommodating with us and just really nice and kind! We definitely recommend her and will surely see her again soon!”
“Irina and family took incredible care of dog Stevie. She was adopted and is slow to warm to new people. She loved her new caretaking family. We so appreciated the daily checkins and pictures of Stevie living her best life. They took her to beach a couple times. So appreciate knowing that Stevie was so well cared for while we were away. Couldn't be happier with Irina's caretaking.”
“We live several hours away and needed someone to watch our pup while we went on a cruise. I searched for someone and found Yulia! She had experience with dogs, she has no dogs, she takes one client at a time plus dogs are allowed on the bed. PERFECT 👌 Yulia knew how hard it was for me to leave Taco. His first time. She sent photos right away! She let me know how he was feeling and how he did throughout the day and night. We had awesome communication during his stay plus photos and videos. They truly helped me. He went on long walks and received a lot of loving from both Julia and her husband. Mr. Taco also learned a new trick!! She taught him to lay down! I'm truly thankful and grateful to have found Yulia. I hope she's available when I need her next! I may change my schedule to fit hers! Warm hugs. ❤️”
“Josie is amazing! Kind, thoughtful and an animal lover. Phil had the best week in her home and he keeps dragging me to her house. Very grateful and can’t recommend Josie more highly! Look forward to next time already.”
“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“She's an amazing sitter and sent lots of pics and videos. It's easy to see how much love and care she puts into the pets she takes care of. I would definitely recommend her to watch the fur babies.”
“This is my second time booking with Daria, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! My dog absolutely loves them, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!””
About: I've been pet sitting for 20 years. Neighbors, friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & bathe their pets. I adore all animals and would love to care for your fur baby. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)
“Angelica was great. I’m so glad I found a sitter I can trust. She is kind and sweet. She loves dogs .and I can tell my dog loves her too . I’m definitely bringing my dog back to Angelica the next time I go outta town.”
“Katrina has taken care of my elderly dog for two weeks while I was on an Asia trip. She was the best person for my dog to look after - kept up with the consistent communication, checked up on his health, and gave him the best walks. When I picked up my dog, he looked SO happy and even looked better!! My dog currently misses her after we left so I need to book her again soon!! 😂”
“Conner is great! Went out of town for five days and was not worried about Larry once. He was communicative, took Larry on some awesome hikes, and sent photos everyday. The entire process was stress-free! I would recommend him to anyone looking for boarding services!”
“Alexa was amazing! She was very helpful watching Koda. Koda is reactive with other dogs and Alexa was great managing that. She also successfully gave Koda daily medication and a bath. Koda came home happy and healthy! Alexa provided lots of photos of their walks together and was very quick to respond to any messages. I will definitely book with Alexa again, thank you so much!”
“Dan is a Dog Whisperer. He always makes my little hero Pirate one of the pack in his pooch-friendly home. We’ve left Pirate with him before, but this was for 17 days. Pirate had such a good time with Dan and his dogs that when we reunited today, Pirate gave me kind of a side eye that said, “Hey, I like hanging out here. No rush to come home.” Seriously though, Dan has a very warm, calming presence and we’ll call on him again! Thank you!”
“Tamar and her husband are so great with our dog, Remy! I’m left with so much peace of mind - Tamar manages Remy’s anxiety and reactivity really well. Remy has a blast with all of the walks, playtime, cuddles, and chill sessions he gets. Highly recommend!”
“Daria was a great caretaker for my senior cat! She’s kind and has a clean home. Very communicative through the app and made me feel reassured my pet was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jonalyn was amazing! She updated us with photos through out the stay. Ace had to best time on his pack walks and got a lot of exercise. I would highly recommend Jonalyn to anyone and we will absolutely be back!”
“Amanda and her husband are amazing!! Our dogs got so much love and attention while we were on vacation. Both are anxious wrecks, and in Amanda's care they were calm and happy. She sent photos everyday, I swear they came home better behaved then when we left! Will use her everytime we go out of town :)”
“I loved all of the photos and updates Yvonne sent throughout my dog’s stay with her. It is apparent she loves the dogs she cares for as her own! He was so happy with her and all of her pups.”

“Aksana did a great job looking after my kitties! she was very communicative and followed the directions I gave to a tee! I definitely will be rebooking in the future any time I need a sitter.”
“AWESOME. First off, the cats didn't die, and that's the most important thing. But Ali was nice and professional. She left VERY sweet, thoughtful messages with great pictures every time she visited, which made a huge difference to us. It was very easy to coordinate giving her the instructions/key and she just executed everything perfectly. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Alicia was so lovely! Our cats ended up being very comfortable with her and I felt really at ease knowing she was taking care of them. She is such a genuine soul and I would love to have her cat sit again.”
“Alicia was great with my cats. She was always on time or a few minutes early, sent photos and videos during each drop in visit & followed all my instructions. This is such a great service & I plan to use it again.”
About: I cared for my cat, Scotty, for five years and worked on basic training and enrichment, including leash training and supervised outdoor time once a week. This experience helped me understand feline behavior, boundaries, and the importance of patience and trust. I’m attentive to feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for cats. I respect each cat’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or independent—and focus on making them feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
“Sorn was amazing!!! She took such wonderful care of our two cats and made sure everything was taken care of. She went above and beyond to understand their needs, was so communicative, sent us tons of photos (which were also beautiful!) and was always on time to visit. Litter box, food, etc were all perfect and on top of that she won the cats over and they trusted her within a day or two. And she is just a lovely person. We will be booking her whenever we can when we go out of town. Thank you so much Sorn!”
“My husband and I were away on our honeymoon for over two weeks, and Brandi took such amazing care of our two cats while we were gone. She went far beyond just feeding them, she spent time playing with them, paying attention to their personalities and needs, and making sure they felt loved and comfortable the whole time. She also helped with thoughtful little things around the house like bringing in our mail and checking on our plants. Coming home to two happy, relaxed cats gave us so much peace of mind. Brandi is truly caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy, and we couldn’t recommend her more.”
“So thankful Alina was able to watch my kitty for two weeks! Thank you for being so nice and personable, I originally felt uneasy hiring a pet sitter because I had never done so before but you give off such a genuine and trustworthy vibe that never once did I feel uneasy, I was just thankful Devito was getting taken care of! Alina stayed for an hour everyday for two weeks over the holidays and was exceptional! Thank you so much, I will be contacting you anytime I leave town!”
“Fantastic pet sitter who took exceptional care of my cat! She sent plenty of photos throughout the stay and it was clear my cat was happy and comfortable. Very attentive and professional - would highly recommend Irina’s services to any pet owner.”
“Lucine did a fantastic job with my cats. I came home to happy, healthy cats. I really appreciate how in the loop she kept me, as well as all the great photos. I'll definitely book her again :)”
“Sara took excellent care of our pair of foster cats and their space! They love her. We appreciate her communication, and the wonderful photos of them while we were away. Thank you Sara!!”
About: I've had cats all my life. I've fostered a lot of kittens, which is how I got my tuxedo siblings Scotty and Star in 2015. Scotty passed away last year from kidney disease, and although Star is still with me (and thriving!), I truly love cats and am always looking to make new furry friends.
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our cat Pogi! Deonna went above and beyond with everything. After every visit we got a lovely summary of the visit with pictures, which we always looked forward to. We came home to a clean litter, clean eating area and a happy cat! Thank you so much!”
“Traci is a great pet sitter. She gives detailed reports and photos. She took time to really connect with our baby, Stokely. She went above and beyond to create ways to bond and ensure our pet was cared for and happy.”
“Alex is honestly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. He goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of and comfortable, as well as keeping us informed with great updates and pics. Truly one of a kind.”
About: With over 20 years of pet-sitting experience, I bring a deeply intuitive and seasoned approach to caring for your feline family members. Having lived with cats off and on throughout my life, I truly understand their unique language—from the social butterflies who crave interactive playtime to the sensitive souls who just need a calm, patient presence. I pride myself on maintaining their precise routines and creating a stress-free environment, ensuring your cat feels completely safe, respected, and pampered while you are away.
About: Cats have held a purr-fect place in my heart since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Growing up, my Grandma's mischievous Tabby, Otto, became my confidante and partner in crime (mostly harmless furniture rearranging!). We spent countless hours playing hide-and-seek (mostly him hiding, me desperately searching for a fluffy ambush!), and his gentle purrs soothed any childhood worry. For over 9 years, I've been the go-to cat sitter for my friends. From playful Siamese kittens to regal Persians, I've built personal bonds with a variety of feline personalities. My experience goes beyond playtime! I clean litter boxes like a ninja (odor-free!), and keep your home a haven of comfort while you're away.
“I always feel confident leaving my senior diabetic cat in Tamar’s care. She administers his insulin without issue, makes sure he eats and is cared for while I’m gone. He loves her too ❤️10/10 recommend Tamar!!”

“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”
“Isabel took a great care of my dog while we were at the Rose Bowl game. She’s great with communication and was very quick in responding for drop off and pick up. Will definitely use her again next time we visit SoCal.”
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”
About: Last year I said goodbye to my 17 year-old dog Max, just a few months after my cat Scotty passed away suddenly from kidney disease. Thankfully, Scotty's sister Star is still with me and thriving, but I really miss being around and caring for other animals. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and the gentle care they require. I'm also very familiar with younger dogs of all sizes. And I've fostered a lot of cats - mainly kittens - which is how Star and Scotty originally came into my life. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet - whether it be walks, drop-ins, boarding or pet-sitting. I work part-time, teaching improv and also teach at an academy for gifted and neurodivergent homeschool students. The classes are short and nearby (and are not every day) so I'm never gone for more than 2-4 hours. Which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your pet! I'm available for home visits, walks throughout the day, boarding, and/or pet sitting any day of the week. I live in a residential neighborhood in the Somerset section of Glendale, perfect for walks. My apartment is a large one-bedroom I share with my cat Star, who is very affectionate and easy-going - she'd love to keep your pet company!
“Margarita was a great sitter for our puppy onyx. Friendly and very communicative; sending us text updates with photos. We’ll be happy to book her again. Definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.
“Jennifer was great. It was a last minute request and shew was great so we booked her again. She was communicative and sent cute pictures and videos. Will definitely go to her again”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Since my very first Boxer, Roxy, I’ve been completely in love with the companionship of dogs. In fact, I raised my own dog, Rambo, from a puppy, and he still lives with me today! As a fellow dog owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can sometimes be to juggle everything that comes with having a pet. Let me help ease those worries and be there for you when you need a hand! I absolutely love everything about animals and can’t wait to meet your pup soon! I live super close to the beach and several great dog parks. I’m very attentive to each owner’s preferences for how and where their dog should be walked, and I’ll always check in to make sure your pup gets the care that suits them best. Since I’m a long-distance runner, I’m more than happy (and able!) to give your dog as much exercise as they need! I'm super flexible and easygoing, but I do have to be strict about overnight dog-sitting cancellations to keep things fair for everyone. That said, if we set up a plan to walk your pup, you can count on me, I’d never miss it! 😊 Your pet's happiness means so much to me! I won’t be able to provide house-sitting services, but I do have a park very close to my home where I can take your dog for walks and, with your permission, even enjoy some playtime in the dog park! Rest assured, I’ll be the only one caring for your dog, so you can feel completely at ease!
About: Hi there! I’m Tamar, a full time pet sitter, dog walker & cat cuddlier, located right in Glendale, California. Every furry friend deserves a good care, and I’m here to help make that happen.I grew up in a animal lover home and have taken care of dogs ranging from 150 lbs to 10 lbs and cats of all colors and age. If you need a friendly and reliable sitter for your beloved cats, dogs, birds or fish, I offer a range of services, including dog walking, overnight care, pet sitting, and playtime for cats. With 25 years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I create a safe and cozy environment for your pets while you’re away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker, I would love to hear from you! Just send me a message, and let’s ensure your pets receive the care and love they deserve. Ask me about walk weekly bundle!

We love going to dog parks and walk in our friendly neighborhood.

About: Hi! Welcome! I have been a cat mom for 16 yrs, but sadly my beloved cat, Mittens passed away in May 2025. I miss him dearly! And I deeply miss having a fur baby in my life! But since I’m not ready to get a new pet, I would like to give my love, attention and experience into taking care of other people’s pets! I am extremely experienced with taking care of cats and I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs before, and now several times professionally on Rover, that it’s made me fall in love with dogs just as as cats! I absolutely love and enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats! And they both have their own wonderful and amazing charms! 😁 I work from home so I am always at home, so it makes it easy to take care of pets and give them all the attention and potty breaks that they need. I am available for boarding or pet daycare at anytime, so please feel free to contact me whenever you would like. I live in a one bedroom apartment that is 1000-1500 sqft and I don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but live in a very safe residential neighborhood, so walking dogs outside at anytime of the day is completely safe and fine. My living room is a reasonable size (1000 sqft), which is why I only board small to medium sized dogs; however, I work from home, so I’m always able to take the dogs out to get some much needed air, sun and exercise daily, so they don’t get too cooped up or bored indoors. I also always make it a priority to turn the AC and fans on at my place, so they can stay cool and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, I have used the Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with a pet sitter on here, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates of their pets to them, therefore, I always make that a priority and I am more than happy to do that! I firmly believe and take it very seriously that a pet sitter should always respond immediately and be absolutely communicative at all times!
“Irina met me right on time for dropoff and pickup, was extremely friendly, and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout the day. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in excellent hands with her. I would totally leave my dogs with her again!”
“Ripple had a blast today with Briana and her adorable dog! She was able to watch ripple last minute when I was in a rush to find a sitter. She sent adorable pictures of ripple throughout the day and was really easy to communicate with! Ripple will definitely be coming back. 10/10 would recommend:)”
“Awesome spur of the moment stay. Daria’s can-do attitude and multiple photos throughout the visit allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. We will look no farther for the perfect petsitter the next time we visit Glendale…we found Daria!!! Many thanks from Chula Cholula’s family 💗”
“Chris and Edward took really great care of my boy. Provided updates and lots of love. Will definitely be having them watch Drogo again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs about 4years. I like to watch them to play, and talk to them as communicating. To walk, feed and play with them, let me feel so warm and make my day. I have a big heart to take care of them. I stay home a lot and take care of my dog. I know each pet owners have different time, if our time could match, I would like to help and take care of your pets. I do have a big unfenced yard in front of my apartment. They can run and play inside the area. I also have a corgi girl, I believe she can be their friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining a structured schedule. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. In my home, I provide fresh water, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I stay home often, so pets are well supervised. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and keep their regular routine. I treat every pet with love, patience, and care, just like they are my own.

About: Hi, my name is Sophie! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, working with small and large breeds of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors.

I’m great at reading their moods and energy, so they always feel safe and comfortable. Animals truly are my safe place and I promise to provide the up most care and attention to your furry friend. I’m currently in LA with a completely open summer schedule, so I can give your pet my full attention whenever you need me. I’m completely available Monday through Saturday with flexible times. I’m not working this summer, so I can easily help with walks and drop-in visits around your schedule. I care for pets in your home so they stay in their familiar environment. For walks and check-ins I’ll come to you, keep your place exactly how I found it, and send updates and photos every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy.

“Jonalyn has been walking our dog regularly for a bit over a month, and we (including our dog) have been very pleased! She goes above and beyond to be very accommodating, maximizes the walking time, and sends tons of action pics of their walks.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to high-energy adult breeds. I helped care for my cousin’s six dogs from the time they were born, giving me early experience with puppy routines, patience, and consistency during important developmental stages. I recently adopted a husky mix and actively follow a structured training plan that includes potty training, consistent daily walks, and learning extra commands. This has helped me develop strong skills in managing high-energy dogs, maintaining routines, and providing both physical and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to proper feeding, food preparation, and allergy awareness, and I always follow each dog’s specific needs. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy their energy—whether that means playtime, training reinforcement, or calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’m flexible with scheduling, and if you need a specific day or time, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your needs. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets based on their individual routines and comfort levels. In my home, pets receive structured feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, consistent walks, and dedicated playtime. If your dog is friendly, I do have a dog of my own who would love a new friend, but I always introduce pets slowly and safely. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiarity and providing attentive, loving care.
“Traci was amazing. She went above and beyond to make my pups feel comfortable with her. My guys are really big and can be intimidating but they are really the sweetest things. This is our first time having Traci walk them, but we will definitely be calling her again. They were still tired from their walk with her when we got back home.”
“Michael was very easy to work with, seemed very personable, and most importantly- libby appears to have enjoyed his company 😊 Michael was very professional - communicating with me beforehand to see if libby had any special needs or preferences. He arrived a couple of minutes early and they went on an hour walk. I would definitely use Michael’s services again.”

Mandy is a considerate, kind, and wonderful caretaker that i would highly recommend to anyone who wasnt the very best care for their pup.”
About: I am a California based gal with a deep rooted love for all animals, great and small. I have been working with rescue shelters and in foster care for dogs since i was 19 years old.

I have experience with all types of dogs, from puppies to seniors, big to small, and all sorts of temperaments. I have helped many clients and friends to train their dogs, and I love to watch their progress! I treat my own pup like family, and love to show the same love and care to all pups! I have been background checked and certified for dog walking and drop in services!

I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. In my home, I provide fresh water, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I stay home often, so pets are well supervised. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and keep their regular routine. I treat every pet with love, patience, and care, just like they are my own.
“My dogs and I LOVED having Ali dropping in for walks. She's responsive, kind, and always on time. I knew my dogs were safe and happy with her, and she was very sweet about their quirks and needs. Thank you again so much!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and my focus on building trust with both pets and owners. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so I can tailor walks and care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I follow instructions closely, send consistent updates, and treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and owners feel completely confident in my care I am currently working a full time job Monday-Friday but I am available evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. Thank you. For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and trust. Before each walk, I make sure the dog’s harness and leash are secure, follow the owner’s preferred routine, and stick to safe walking routes. I pay close attention to the dog’s comfort and body language so they feel calm and confident with me. To build trust with clients, I’m always punctual, respectful of their home, and follow instructions exactly. I send clear updates and photos after each walk so owners know their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Deonna was super sweet and caring with Miso. Even despite him making a poop accident, she’s truly an angel for handling the situation well and cleaning up the accident so Miso is in a clean and safe environment. Appreciate it so much and would recommend to anyone!”
“Our baby isn't used to being walked by anyone else - although he was stubborn about walking with Sean, Sean was great about keeping in text contact, giving him a bathroom break, and playing with him in the house. Thank you Sean for doing a great job with our large puppy!!!”
About: With a lifetime of caring for dogs, including my own elderly rescue, I bring compassionate, experienced care for senior dogs and those with special needs. I understand the love and attention they deserve. They will have my full attention Friday through Monday. In the middle of the week when I'm in the office, I always come home on my lunch to see pets and give them mid-day love. In my care, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I maintain a secure, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention to their individual needs. I follow strict routines, keep a close eye on behavior, and ensure they feel comfortable and loved. You can trust that your pets are not just cared for—they’re cherished.

“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“This is my second time booking with Daria, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! My dog absolutely loves them, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!””
“Conner is great! Went out of town for five days and was not worried about Larry once. He was communicative, took Larry on some awesome hikes, and sent photos everyday. The entire process was stress-free! I would recommend him to anyone looking for boarding services!”
“Alexa was amazing! She was very helpful watching Koda. Koda is reactive with other dogs and Alexa was great managing that. She also successfully gave Koda daily medication and a bath. Koda came home happy and healthy! Alexa provided lots of photos of their walks together and was very quick to respond to any messages. I will definitely book with Alexa again, thank you so much!”
“I loved all of the photos and updates Yvonne sent throughout my dog’s stay with her. It is apparent she loves the dogs she cares for as her own! He was so happy with her and all of her pups.”
About: What sets me apart is how deeply I tune into each pet. I'm an empathetic and thoughtful caregiver — I read the subtle cues and anticipate what a dog needs before they have to ask. I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience with: • Puppies (patience, potty training, basic commands) • Senior pets (gentle handling, mobility support, medication routines) • Basic training reinforcement After decades of pet sitting on the side and loving every minute, I've learned that the little things — a calm voice, a predictable routine, noticing when something feels off — make all the difference. Pet care is my full-time focus. My daily routine revolves entirely around the pets I'm caring for. A typical day starts early — morning walks, feeding, and medication if needed. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime and rest according to each pet's rhythm. Evenings are for settling everyone in, sending updates to owners, and prepping for the next day. Because this is my only job, I'm fully present; No juggling meetings or rushing off to a desk. Your pet gets my complete attention. I care for pets in my own home. I've created a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Here's what that looks like: • My home is clean, secure, and set up with pets in mind (no hazards, plenty of cozy spots) • I follow your pet's regular schedule — feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and rest • I only take a small number of pets at a time, so each one gets individual attention • I send daily photos and updates so you can see exactly how they're doing For safety, I'm careful about introductions between pets, keep the environment calm, and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Your pet's well-being is my full-time focus.
“Ece was an amazing boarder! She was quick to setup an area for my cat in her home and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She is incredibly responsive and very sweet! I will definitely be using her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Counting our lucky stars for Cynthia. Took incredible care of our little guy. Eased his anxiety. Sent pictures throughout! Her beautiful yard(s) and her sweet pups kept our dog engaged and exercised. 10000% would recommend.”
“Liridona was such a lovely lady and took great care of our dog Broski. She sends us a lot of pictures and videos of Broski so we know he was being well taken care of. She also made sure scheduling meet and greet and the drop off and pick up time is as smooth as possible. We would love to have her sit Broski again and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. 10 out of 10!”
“Stephanie was such an attentive and caring pet sitter to our 12 year old terrier. She was diligent with his special food plan and medicines and made us feel secure in having our dear dog out of sight for 5 days. Charmander had a great time staying over and will be back again for a slumber party soon!”
“Lilly established an instant rapport with our dog! She provided us with regular updates! She is very easy to talk to and really made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her for 12 days! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Margaret was great with our high energy pup. She was very attentive and kept him entertained with long walks and play dates around the neighborhood, keeping us up-to-date throughout his stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Jonelyn is the best! She is so sweet and understanding. I appreciated her flexibility. She sent me the sweetest updates for my pup and I could tell they had a great time together. Would highly recommend her!”
“Teresa took great care of our dog, Andre, over the weekend. She was communicative, kind, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Andre came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust Teresa to watch him again and highly recommend her!”
“I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Sevan! He is truly a gem and I could not have asked for a better caretaker. Sevan has a longstanding background in dog training & is a professional in all things dog behavior. Not only did he take incredible care of my Buddha while I traveled, he helped me understand better ways to approach dog socialization. Please do yourself a favor and work with Sevan, he is a game changer!”
“Greg is great! He asked lots of questions to make sure she’d be comfortable and happy. Very kind and thorough, and gave me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos of how truffles was doing. She’s always a little sad after leaving someone she likes, and she’s already sitting here missing him. Thank you again Greg!! Glad you both had fun together! :)”
