“We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our energetic mastiff! From the start, they kept us updated and informed, which gave us so much peace of mind. Tuco spent a full week with them and had an amazing time, he came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be choosing them again. Highly recommend!.”

“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“Kristin was a great caregiver for our 11 year old dog who tends to be very anxious when she’s in a new environment. She was very caring and nurturing with our girl and sent us updates and pictures while we were away. We highly recommend her to care for your fur baby!”
“Brian is great cat sitter — we could tell our fur baby enjoyed her stay and was made very comfortable. He kept us informed every day with thoughtful updates and some pretty great quality photos. Absolutely recommend him, and will use him again in the future if needing a cat sitter!”
“Fiona was fantastic! Very flexible, accommodating (had a last minute time change) and communicative - she sent lovely updates of my dog's stay. I would definitely book with her again without hesitation!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Weihui! She and her husband were incredibly warm and welcoming to both us and our dog from the very beginning. Weihui asked thoughtful questions at drop-off, which immediately gave us confidence that our dog would be in great hands. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with detailed messages, along with plenty of photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how much genuine love, attention, and care she gave our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re truly grateful to their family for taking such wonderful care of our dog. We will absolutely be booking with Weihui again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Erin and her family are a godsend! When I was preparing for our wedding, I forgot to book a dog sitter and the week prior to our wedding I contacted Erin to watch my dog scooter! She agreed and even went out of her way to drop him off for photos on the day of the wedding! She kept us consistently updated on what he was doing, and even sent photos of her family playing with scooter, which warmed our hearts! Cannot recommend her enough for her family took such good care of our Scooter boy we are forever grateful!”
“Yulia and her family are so sweet! I really feel like they took excellent care of my pups while we were away. She was very communicative too, I really appreciate that! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“My dog received excellent care from Leslie and her family. She got to sleep in the bed and was treated like their own pet. Leslie’s family is my #1 choice whenever I leave town. Thank you for making Sugar a member of your family!”
“Taking time for ourselves became a lot easier after meeting with Cliff and Kathryn H. They have provided great care to our Dachshund Rooney and appreciate them very much.”
“Michelle was fantastic! She took care of our Maxwell for 4 days while we were out of town. Right off the bat when we first met her and her husband we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and genuinely cared about our dog, she was fantastic about keeping us informed on his day and sending lots of pictures. We never worried about him and knew he was well taken cared of and happy. I highly recommend her and we look forward to having her watch our Maxwell again soon.”
“We are so grateful to have found Irina to watch our dog Teddy! She reassured us and provided so many updates with cute photos and videos of Teddy. It made me feel so much better being away from him knowing that he was being taken care of so well by Irina! Plus she has the cutest pup Sugar that played so well with Teddy. :) Thank you Irina for caring for Teddy like your own! I highly recommend Irina to watch any animal of yours!”
“Erin did a great job of caring for Lexi. She sent pictures and updates and even when our dog gave her a rough couple days, she handled it well! I recommend her and will be using her again. :)”
“We were concerned about our energetic puppy feeling comfortable. However, Lily made him comfortable right away. He was eager to explore and found a cozy spot on the couch. Lily sent several updates where our puppy was having the time of his life enjoying the yard and getting all the attention. We knew right away we had chosen the right fit for our family and will for sure use her services in the future.”
“Candice is amazing! She took our pup on short notice the first time we needed someone, and was so great with him. We got pictures of him playing in the backyard with her other dogs and it was so clear he was having a blast! We have already used Candice for a second time, and plan to continue sending our Duke to her when we are out of town in the future. Highly recommend Candice!”

I previously owned a rescue which I had 45 cats and 21 dogs so I’m definitely capable of taking care of your sweet pet.
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“I am pleased to write this positive review of our pet sitter, Kimberly. I scheduled Kimberly to come to our home and do two drop-in visits each day we were out of town. We have two ten-year-old cats, and I am guilty of spoiling them all the time. Kimberly showed up at our home on time every day. She provided detailed notes and pictures of my cats. I tend to be nervous; however, Kimberly was so thoughtful with her description of taking care of my cats, as well as the pictures, I had absolutely no reason to be concerned. We are going out of town for an entire week in the near future, and I have already confirmed I will be booking her through Rover again. I feel lucky I can travel without worrying about my fur babies. Please don't hesitate to hire Kimberly! She's a gem; She's kind, professional, thoughtful, and takes pride in her work. We feel blessed to have met her and her lovely little daughter.”
“We couldn’t use our normal person from Meowtel anymore since she was out of range so we decided to make the change to Rover and glad we did. June was amazing. Very responsive from the get go, and she fit us in even booking her last minute when she had other clients. Our cats loved her right away and she even brought them snacks (after asking us if she could of course due to their dietary restrictions). She was able to turn alarm on and off for the house and even went back one night after remembering she had left a light on (which most people wouldn’t admit). Felt like our kitties were in great and capable hands. You can tell she has her own pets, animals love her! She even followed up a few days after we had returned making sure the kitties were okay! Have already booked our next service with her!”
“Brigette is an amazing pet sitter! She took amazing care of our two cats who have very specific routines and needs. They cuddled with her which they don’t even do with our family and she took great care of our home while we were away. We received daily updates with lots of photos. The cats for sure miss you. They got a little vacation of their own with lots of play, treats and attention. Thank you Brigette for all you have done for us. You are the best!!”
About: Hello! 😊 I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a cat of my own, Binx! He loves to lick and play-bite—just like he did as a kitten—which has helped me become very comfortable reading feline body language and understanding the unique behaviors and personalities that make every cat special. I’m very good with cats, and they often seem to gravitate toward me. I truly enjoy earning their trust and creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and cared for. One of my favorite things about animals is that each one has their own distinct personality, bringing so much joy, humor, and companionship into our lives. I am fully available and offer flexible scheduling to meet my clients’ needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved, I’m attentive to their individual preferences and routines. My goal is always to make sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable in their home environment. During visits, I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every cat as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Thank you, Melissa

“Just had Lexy watch my 2 cats again for 5 days! She does such a good job, not only my cats get a lot of love, but all my mail and packages are brought in. It's nice to see pictures of what they're doing while I'm away. I already have more days lined up for Lexy and the kitties! Definitely will keep using her pet sitting services.”
“Highly recommended! John is awesome! John stayed at our home for a week with our cat, Billi. He treated our home with respect and sent us updates regularly.

“We needed a dog sitter asap while we got our kitchen demolished for renovation. Our 9 month old Shepherd mix had a great time. He played with her dog, he was walked and he took naps throughout the day. I was updated with pictures and videos. It assured our family to know he was in good hands. Thank you so much Elena ❤️ Look forward to bringing our puppy back again when we need your services.”
About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. In my early years, I trained working for border service, which gave me strong skills in discipline, behavior understanding, and dog communication. Today, our family has three dogs of our own; one senior dog ( 8 years old ), one young and active dog ( 2 years old), and one rescue dog ( approximately 3 years old). All of them are Friendly, well- socialized , and non-aggressive. My daughter and i truly love dogs and treat every pet as part of our family. We provide a safe, calm, and caring environment, whether it's for boarding or daily walks. We are attentive to each dog's need, routines, and personality. I am home full-time, so your dog. I work from home, so your dog will always have attention and care. In the morning, my daughter walks he dogs before school. During the day, I provide walks, playtime, and supervision. In the evening, we usually walk together as a family. We have a safe and comfortable home for dogs. Our dogs are friendly and well-socialized.

“Tina was very gracious and took in Obiwan. He had a wonderful time and Tina kept us up to date on Obi's progress throughout the day with pictures and narrative. She is located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space in the backyard. I would recommend Tina to anyone that wants someone that really cares about your pet.”

From the moment we arrived, it was evident that she has a deep understanding and passion for dogs. Her comforting demeanor instantly put my dog at ease, making him feel right at home! I highly recommend Thea to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog sitter. Her spacious property, combined with her expertise and loving approach, made for an exceptional experience for my dog. We will definitely be returning for future stays!”
About: Tucked away in the mountains, my off-grid home is more than just a boarding space—it’s a peaceful, nurturing retreat where both dogs and cats can feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and caring for them is second nature to me. Maybe it’s the Leo in me, but I’ve always been drawn to the independent, curious nature of cats, just as much as the loyalty and energy of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually—their quirks, their comforts, and their communication style—because no two are the same. Whether they need adventure, structure, play, or just a quiet place to rest, I tailor their stay to what suits them best. My own pack includes two amazing dogs, both of whom I’ve raised since they were pups—an Australian Kelpie who thrives on activity and focus, and a Husky/Malamute mix who loves adventure just as much as I do. I also have two incredibly special cats, Face and Lilith. Face, my shadow and best friend, was once a wary barn cat who took 1.5 years to trust me. Now, he hikes with me and my dogs, showing an adaptability I’ve never seen in another cat. Lilith, my Hemingway cat, appeared as a tiny, helpless kitten in the woods and has since grown into a thriving, playful companion. Recently, I also took on the challenge of caring for and finding homes for 21 puppies all at once—an experience that reinforced my deep commitment to the well-being of every animal that comes into my care. For dogs, my home offers the perfect mix of adventure and comfort, with plenty of space to roam, explore, and play. For cats, I provide a dedicated, dog-free space downstairs, designed just for them, complete with padded, cloth-covered shelves, sunlit lounging spots, and plenty of enrichment to keep them engaged. Cats are never let outside unless specifically requested by their owner, ensuring their safety. Whether you have a dog who thrives on companionship and outdoor adventure or a cat who craves quiet comfort and personalized care, my home is a place where they will be loved, understood, and cared for like family. I do have a large fenced back yard which is behind expanded currently. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s fully integrated into my daily life. Living off-grid and working from home means I don’t have a traditional 9-to-5 schedule, so my time revolves around the animals in my care. From the moment I wake up, I’m tending to their needs—letting dogs out to stretch their legs in the fresh mountain air, preparing meals tailored to each pet, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Throughout the day, I engage with them in ways that suit their personalities—whether it’s a long hike through the woods for high-energy dogs, quiet companionship for more relaxed pets, or interactive play for curious cats. Because I’m always home, no animal is ever left alone for long. I have the flexibility to adapt to their needs in real-time, whether it’s providing extra comfort for a nervous newcomer or giving an active pup the extra exercise they crave. At night, every pet settles in safely, knowing they are in a warm, loving environment. Caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s simply my way of life. Exercise and outdoor time are a big part of my daily routine. I take my dog for runs or walks multiple times a day, exploring the beautiful mountain trails and giving them the movement they need. If your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, I’d be happy to include them in these outings, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and enrichment. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a high-energy run, I tailor the experience to match their needs and comfort level. If your pet has special needs—such as medication, a specific feeding routine, or any other care requirements—I’m happy to integrate that into my daily schedule. Every animal is different, and I make sure to accommodate their unique needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.
“Turbo had a great time with Lily and William. They took great care of him, sent photos and let us know when he ate. He sometimes is too nervous to eat, so the fact that he did means he was comfortable. We made a spontaneous trip to Six Flags and appreciated how quickly Lily responded. They were about 10 min north. We will definitely visit Lily again next time we head south and make a stop by Six Flags!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.
About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.

“We’ve never seen our dog so happy to see someone!! June is going to care for our doggie for a few days so we planned a walk so they get to know each other but ….Princess was thrilled to see June even though they only met once ! June is very knowledgeable about dogs, asks questions about her routine and everything she should know to make Princess feel safe and comfortable! We recommend her and hope we have more trips planned hopefully she could care for Princess every time we are away. ❤️”

From playtime and basic training to giving medication or extra cuddles, I make sure each pet feels loved, happy, and comforted so they never miss their hoomans too much.

“Highly recommended! Lexy took great care of our loved pet. She’s not only patient, but also kind. Received detailed photos and notes for each walk, so as the parents, we know what happened and we feel safe in mind even we are far from our pet. Will definitely ask Lexy for another favor if we needed in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up, my parents bred small litters of dogs, so I was hands-on from the very beginning—assisting with feeding, socialization, early training, and daily care. Our dogs were true members of the family, and that experience taught me the patience, responsibility, and deep compassion animals deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I intentionally create time for it. I prioritize structure, consistency, and presence when caring for animals. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening playtime, I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick visits. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and boundaries. I respect your space as if it were my own and keep everything clean and secure.

About: I have dealt with many different pet personalities and genuinely care about their needs. I aim to give your four-legged friends the attention they deserve. I believe that a dog should have the ability to see what outside looks like, and visit different areas such as parks. I also believe that all pets act a certain way for a reason, and shouldn't be yelled at, or treated badly if they aren't 'easy-going' or 'social'. Personally, my love for pets started when I got my first dog as five years old. Named him Rocky after the boxer, Rocky Balboa. Unfortunately, he passed away two years ago from old age. He was blind, but he still recognized my voice...which was pretty amazing. Rocky showed me that a dog could truly be a man's best friend. I pledge to give the upmost care to your best friend. I currently work from home, so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and give your pet the love they need while you’re away. I will carefully review your instructions in order to provide the best and safest environment for your pet(s). My services will be provided at a level that gives you and your pet maximum comfort.
About: What sets me apart?: I've loved animals since I was born and have interacted with dogs and other animals ever since. I love dogs of all kinds and can adapt to their personalities.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I love animals probably more then people at times and I will love your fur babies as if they were my own and take great care of them! I am wide open with availability during the day in case your pets need someone with them for most of the day or if they are fine being alone for certain amount of time. Currently not working full time . I live in an apartment so I won’t be offering to take in any pets as theirs a limit of how many can be staying here. At the moment.
About: Hi! I’m a dog walker and sitter in the Santa Clarita area. I am currently a grad student with flexibility in my schedule to meet your pet's needs. :-) I first began petsitting in 2015 in Maryland. Since 2022, I worked for the petcare company, BabygotBark, where I cared for an array of sweet dogs, cats and birds. This included dogwalking and pet sitting! I have experience caring for young to elderly pets, that have varied temperaments and sizes. I send updates, either daily or occasionally-- whichever is your preference. Which includes photos and excerpts on how your pup is doing. I also ensure your home is taken care of while you're away-- treating it gently and continuing any routines in your absence like watering plants and so forth. I value ensuring that you can travel without any worries! If you're looking for someone patient, flexible and communicative, you've found your person. Please let me know if you would like any contact references from past families i've worked with. :-) Take care! I'm in grad school and currently work as a design freelancer which ensures my schedule is open and flexible with your needs and dates, whether on a weekday or weekend! My work comes with me wherever I go, so I am able to spend the majority of the day with your pet. I like to begin with learning about their feeding, walking and grooming schedule so that they can continue the same routine upon your departure. During our meet and greet, I ask about their temperaments and any triggers to be mindful of. It's important to me that we continue the routine you've set for them-- to help them feel the most comfortable and confident during our time together. After our walks and feeding, I like to spend time with them by providing toy stimulation, grooming care, and lots of love and cuddles.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our energetic mastiff! From the start, they kept us updated and informed, which gave us so much peace of mind. Tuco spent a full week with them and had an amazing time, he came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be choosing them again. Highly recommend!.”

“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“Erin and her family are a godsend! When I was preparing for our wedding, I forgot to book a dog sitter and the week prior to our wedding I contacted Erin to watch my dog scooter! She agreed and even went out of her way to drop him off for photos on the day of the wedding! She kept us consistently updated on what he was doing, and even sent photos of her family playing with scooter, which warmed our hearts! Cannot recommend her enough for her family took such good care of our Scooter boy we are forever grateful!”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“My dog received excellent care from Leslie and her family. She got to sleep in the bed and was treated like their own pet. Leslie’s family is my #1 choice whenever I leave town. Thank you for making Sugar a member of your family!”
“We are so grateful to have found Irina to watch our dog Teddy! She reassured us and provided so many updates with cute photos and videos of Teddy. It made me feel so much better being away from him knowing that he was being taken care of so well by Irina! Plus she has the cutest pup Sugar that played so well with Teddy. :) Thank you Irina for caring for Teddy like your own! I highly recommend Irina to watch any animal of yours!”
“Erin did a great job of caring for Lexi. She sent pictures and updates and even when our dog gave her a rough couple days, she handled it well! I recommend her and will be using her again. :)”
“Candice is amazing! She took our pup on short notice the first time we needed someone, and was so great with him. We got pictures of him playing in the backyard with her other dogs and it was so clear he was having a blast! We have already used Candice for a second time, and plan to continue sending our Duke to her when we are out of town in the future. Highly recommend Candice!”
“Laura is lovely and Candy had a great weekend with her. I will absolutely reach out to her in the event I need a pet sitter for my furry therapist, keeper of my secrets and love of my life.”
“There were two reasons I chose Thea to board my two Beagles for 8 days: 1) She has a wonderful ranch, with dogs and several other different animals which are dog-friendly, which would allow my Beagles to do what they love--sniff around here, there, and everywhere--under supervision, and 2) Her rate was very reasonable. This was my first time boarding my Beagles with a 'stranger.' Would I do it again? Absolutely, and without hesitation! Thea, and her crew are ultra-accommodating to your pets individual needs. Thea's individual-styled boarding beats kennel-style boarding any day of the week.”
“I'm just back after 3 days away for a New Years getaway. I left my girl Mila with Kristen and her beautiful dog Aleutia. No one told me I'd miss my dog this much... But Kristen must have known, she sent me pics of Mila and updates and really put my heart at ease. Thank you Kristen, cheers, until we see you guys again.”
“Emily was amazing! Such great detail and care with our boy Bruce who is still in his silly puppy phase. We loved her constant communication with us and photos. He had a smile on his face the entire time he was there so we know he was properly cared for. Also appreciated the extra training and mental stimulation she provided him. Definitely recommend her service!”
About: I have raised two dogs for Guide Dogs of America who specialize in training dogs for the blind. I am an avid puppy lover. I love spending time with any dog! I am currently working part time at The Ivy Day Spa here in Valencia CA. I work about 5 days out of the week, usually afternoons to early evenings. I am able to spend most of my days with your pets. I am comfortable taking care of cats or dogs within your home. As long as the house is well kept and pleasant to be in. I also have a fenced in yard and live close to a large park.
“I cannot say enough about how kind and accommodating Christal has been! We did a meet and greet before I left my two pups with her and even that short time, my pups hopped back into the car with smiles. I’ve gotten pictures of my dogs outside playing, and inside chilling with the family everyday, again with happy smiles on their faces. I know my pups are being well loved and taken care of. Even when we ran into travel troubles with a cancelled flight, she graciously offered to keep them another night to help us out while we figured out how to get home. So kind! You will be a happy pup parents if you book with Christal! 10/10!”

About: I combine experience, reliability, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I take the time to understand each pup’s unique routine, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm—I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I make sure each pup gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I prioritize sticking to their normal routine so they feel secure and at home, even while you’re away. On a weekly basis, I plan dedicated time for longer walks, training reinforcement, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one bonding. Because I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, I’m able to give every dog the focused, individualized care they deserve. Your pet becomes part of my routine—and part of my life—while they’re with me. When pets stay with me, I create a safe, calm, and structured environment that feels like a second home. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so everything stays familiar. Pets have access to cozy resting spots, supervised play areas, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, keep fresh water available at all times, and use positive reinforcement to help them settle in. I’m attentive to their comfort, bathroom needs, and any special instructions—whether it’s medication, crate routines, or training cues. Frequent updates and photos keep you connected while they’re with me.
