“Chengcheng did a great job of sending text updates and photos daily of our pug. She is very easy to communicate with through text and we could tell that she really cares for your family as if it were her own. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing Experience! Kevin & his family treated our Ruby as if she was a member of their own family. My family was able to enjoy our trip knowing our baby was being well taken care of. We received regular updates with pictures of our Ruby having an absolute blast during her stay. She had so much fun, she almost didnt't want to come home. I would highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to board with him again in the future.”

She love dogs and you can feel a positive and welcoming vibe at her home. We definitely recommeded her 100% and hope to do more boardings with her in the future. Thank You for the gift Stacy! We truly appreciate it. ??”
“This was our first time dropping our puppies off with anyone. Tiffany and her family welcomed them in like they were part of their own family. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date with how they were doing. My puppies LOVED it there and loved Tiffany!! I will ask Tiffany to watch my puppies whenever possible!”
“We had such a great experience with Ilona! She took wonderful care of Sophie and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Ilona and would happily have her watch Sophie again!”
“Kelly was fantastic! I would never hesitate to use her again. She was incredibly patient and helpful with our Sophie who can be quite anxious at times. Great sitter!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
“Sarah S. was very accommodating! She was flexible with earlier drop off and pick up times and even came to the park for a meet and greet before hand. She responds to messages quickly and sent plenty of updates while we were gone. I will definitely use her again.”
“Tina was absolutely wonderful with Pickles! 🐾🩵 While we were out of town, Pickles developed diarrhea, and Tina was so attentive, communicative, and caring throughout the whole situation. She kept us updated, followed our instructions, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him a bland diet to help settle his stomach. Even with the unexpected stomach issues, Tina handled everything with so much patience and care. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing Pickles was in such good hands while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like family. We are so grateful to Tina for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Pickles. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and dependable sitter! 🐶💕”
“Thank you Leslie for your patients and understanding in regards to both of our pets having to adjust in your home. Looking forward to future sittings with you and your husband.”
“Jin & Brian cared for Lady so well for two day overnight stay! She came home so happy 😀 recommended for sure! Thanks so much again! Made our getaway very enjoyable since we did not have to worry about our sweet girl!”

“Thank you alaina for taking care of my little kitty for 4 days. I will definitely book with you again in the future. I also enjoyed reading every word you wrote in the note section describing the care chanel had with you. I can tell you truly love animals ❤️”
“Melinda was great with our cats, they quickly warmed up to her and she kept us constantly updated. She is also the first cat sitter we've had that properly emptied out or litter robot. Will definitely use her services again and recommend to everyone.”
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and have experience with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m very comfortable with shy, independent, affectionate, senior, and more particular cats, and I understand that earning a cat’s trust often means giving them space and letting them come to you. I pay close attention to normal routines, appetite, litter box habits, behavior, and any subtle changes that may indicate a cat isn’t feeling like themselves. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding instructions, administering routine care as directed, keeping litter areas clean, and maintaining the home while you’re away. Because I work remotely as a bookkeeper and tax preparer, I’m often able to spend much more time in the home than someone who is gone at work all day. I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship of cats and am just as happy giving cuddles to a social cat as I am peacefully sharing space with one who prefers a little more independence.
“Liseth was great! Good communicator , my very shy cats warmed up to her and were well cared for. My flight home was delayed and she went above and beyond and cared for them an extra day for me. Thank you so much!”
“This was the second time we asked Yelda to take care of our cat, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! Yelda is incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our cat is in safe, loving hands while we are away. She kept us updated and took amazing care of everything. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Yelda!”
“Perla was amazing taking care of my two cats. I was gone for two weeks, she kept up with communication, pictures, and how my cats were doing. Even though the initial booking was for once a day drop in visits, she was able to accommodate and do drop in visits twice daily instead, on request. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
“We could not be happier with the attention and care taken while we were away. This was our first time away from the cats, and their first time without us. When we returned they were happy, running around, tails in the air, and acting normal as if nothing different had happened. Maybe a little hurt they didn't seem to mind us being away, but that is all the better. We'll be back with Alyssa next years vacation, without any questions or hesitation.”
About: I've been a petsitter for 5 years, helping family and friends' fur babies while they were out of town. I am experienced with dogs and cats, small and large. I am very energetic and bubbly, but can match any animals personality to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals, I love making new fur friends!
About: I enjoy dogs!!! They are so energetic! I have dog sat for 5 palmeranian dogs at one time and those were always very loud times! Lol but I did enjoy them! I can be playful with your dog and I don’t mind breaking a sweat dog walking or even cleaning up after your pet! I know that every pet is unique and I am willing to learn exactly what your pet needs from me! I also know that they respond well when the person taking care of them interacts and gives them love when they care for them! I plan to do just that! I live in a great neighborhood where it would be easy and safe to walk your dog if you needed me to provide doggy day care!
“Mikey was amazing! He took care of our cats for a week. He kept us informed of everything that happened and sent me a picture everyday. He also took care of small trees we are growing to create a mini forest and they all look great! He even put one package that arrived inside the house and checked that my new dripline was working properly and my other plants were fine. We live in a ranch and nature for us is also a big concern when we leave so it was great to find someone like him to make sure everything survived this hot summer. Definitely will call him next we leave.”
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat, Momo. Always on time and sent pictures throughout. Finding a new sitter after moving can be a little worrying but Jennifer was super kind and personable which eased any concerns. Will be rebooking soon. Thank you!”
“Kyle has a great energy that I know my dog really enjoyed! You can tell he is a dog lover, and also a good person in general. Will be requesting him again when needed. Thank you!”
“First time using Kayla’s services and did not disappoint. Very thorough report cards and always on time. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again! Had no issues with multiple cats and one with complicated medical requirements and picky eating.”
“This was the second time booking with Celeste and she was great once again. My dogs love her and I will continue to use her services for all my drop in and pet sitting needs. Definitely recommend!”

“Susana was very welcoming and accommodating with our schedule. We were kept up to date with our pups activities with photos and massages. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her visit. We are happy to have found Susana and hope our pup can visit with her in the future. Thank you Susana!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love and treat them as my own children. They are a man’s best friend. They light up your day and take the stress away. I daily take them out on walks and feed accordingly. I am a stay at home mom with 20 plus retail Experience. I have decided to retire from sales. Now my focus is taking care of your pets if you are out of town, need a day sitter, etc. I have a fenced back yard, but I never allow pets out there unless I am beside them. I walk dogs on a leash. Play with them throughout the day.
“Chengcheng did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. She went on multiple walks, took her to the park, and even sent pictures of my babe throughout the day so I always knew what they were doing together. I highly recommend Chengcheng for any service she offers, you can rest assured your baby is in good hands.”
About: I have grown up with and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I both love dogs and hope to meet yours! My wife and I both work full time from home. We are home during the day at minimum 90%. We have a house with no kids and no other pets. We can provide as much attention to your dog as needed! I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.

“Llona was wonderful. She responded very quickly to my last minute request. My dog definitely perceives the vibe of people and as soon as he met her he happily ran into her home. She sent me photos of her boys playing with our dog...he loves children and you can see they are dog lovers too. She was in good communication while caring for our dog which of course made me feel comfortable...no worry on my part. Funny enough dropping your dog off to a stranger is like dropping your child off ...you want to know they are well cared for and that they feel safe and of course have fun. I would give it an A+ day for his first visit with Llona. And we will def use her again and recommend her!”
About: I love dogs. I love animals in general but preferably dogs. I’ve worked at a dog grooming place for a year and I learned so much about dogs and the proper care they need. If I took care of someone else’s dogs I know for sure they’d be happy and safe in my house and neighborhood. I have a dog myself, I love him with all my heart and hope I can share my love towards anyone else’s dogs. My dog loves playing with other dogs so I know he’d get along with anyone else’s dog. I can even take all the dogs I’m taking care of to a dog park, a regular park, play fetch, give belly scratches, etc. And just give the love a dog needs. I am available all day and everyday. I would have time to babysit, walk, feed and do all that good stuff for your pup! ! I have a dog park near my house, and would gladly love to take anyone’s pup there and play fetch, run around with them or even introduce them to my pup.
“Areli is FAB! Wow. Lily was cozy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Absolutely wonderful experience having Areli care for my sweet baby. Will def book again! ✨✨✨♥️”
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for years. My family and friends rely on me for their pet’s care and my veterinary experience gives me confidence in identifying issues and brainstorming solutions. I have open availability Monday through Friday, and am open to weekends depending on client needs. I work from home and therefore am flexible with scheduling. I can’t wait to meet your kiddos! I have a lovely home that I share with my husband, our 2 boys, and our pup, and I am open to visiting pets at client homes as well depending on what is more comfortable for the pet and their family!
About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember! Love meeting all of them and can't wait to meet your little bud! I make my own schedule, so for the most part I'm available when needed (with proper planning for longer visits of course.) Feel free to reach out when you need a hand! My pup is on pretty good schedule, so I'm know the importance of keeping those scheduled feedings and/or outside time. If we need walks, someone to throw a ball to get the zoomies out or just someone to hang with so they're not alone all day I'm in!
“Melisa was amazing, offered to even meet prior to the arrangement and took wonderful care of our pup. We will be using her in the future, glad we found her. Very responsive and flexible.”
About: Hi my name is Alexis I'm a full time college student and I nanny as well as pet sit. With that being said, I've always loved all fur babies and started dog sitting locally overnight about 4 years ago. I now help with dog sitting during my stay with clients while being a nanny. Occasionally I will also volunteer and dog walk at Rock and Rescue adoption center in Woodland Hills when I have free time after school. Additionally, I will help a friend of mine who has her own dog walking business walk the dogs and spend time with them if needed. I am hoping to meet you and your fur baby soon and I can't wait to hear back from you! Thank you.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies who are still learning routines to sweet senior dogs who need patience and gentle care, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very attentive, calm, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every dog I care for. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which means I can provide consistent, reliable care any day of the week. I enjoy structuring my days around pets—making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to adapt to each dog’s routine and give them plenty of time, love, and supervision. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide calm, loving, and reliable care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease.
About: I have always loved animals and grew up with sisters who train police dogs, service dogs, big and small dogs as well as my own dog. I love dogs and have been with them since I was a kid. I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.

About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. When I was younger, I helped take care of a litter of eight newborn puppies, helping with feeding, cleaning their space, and spending time playing with them as they grew. Even though I unfortunately haven’t owned a dog of my own, I’ve lived with and helped care for several family/friends' dogs over the years, including two pit bulls, my best friend's dog, and my aunt’s dog, who had special needs. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m able to plan my classes and study time around my responsibilities. I’m happy to provide services such as dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I will make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My goal is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Please read!! I’m a college student. I'm not available Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00 am–1:00 pm, and on Tuesdays from 11:00 pm–2:30 pm. Outside of these times, I’m generally free :) I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, cleanliness, and respect for my clients’ homes. I consider myself an organized person, so I always make sure to keep things tidy and clean up after both myself and the pets. I follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while also making sure the home stays just as the owner left it.

About: Hello, my name is Alexis Keys, and my heart has always been drawn to animals of all kinds. From a young age, I found joy in rescuing those in need from the streets, ensuring they had a safe haven. My journey has led me to volunteer at local animal shelters, where I’ve been privileged to care for many vulnerable creatures. I’ve also opened my home to foster animals who required extra love and attention, such as underweight puppies or kittens needing medication, helping them get ready for their forever homes. Additionally, I’ve offered my support to friends and family by caring for their beloved pets when they were away, ensuring those furry companions felt comforted and loved. Integrating pet care into our daily and weekly routines is truly vital for nurturing the well-being of our beloved pets and deepening the cherished bond we share with them. Establishing a structured routine helps ensure that the diverse needs of our furry friends are met, positively contributing to their overall health and happiness. Each morning can begin with a gentle touch as we feed and exercise our pets. A consistent feeding schedule not only makes them feel secure and well-nourished but also shows them just how much we care. Morning walks or playful interactions are not just physical exercises; they serve as crucial moments for mental stimulation and connection. Incorporating grooming and hygiene practices into our morning ritual sets a loving tone for the day ahead. During our work or school hours, it’s essential to thoughtfully prepare for their needs by organizing their toys and supplies, ensuring they feel loved and cared for even when we’re away. In the evenings, setting aside time to engage in play fosters not only their mental stimulation but also enriches the bond we hold dear, followed by evening feeds and gentle hygiene checks that ensure our pets are comfortable and clean. Our weekly routines often call for a bit more attention and care. Scheduling veterinary appointments for check-ups and vaccinations is so important for their health and peace of mind. Regular grooming sessions, including baths, can be wonderful bonding experiences. It's also beneficial to give our pets socialization opportunities through playdates, training classes, or fun outings to dog parks and pet-friendly events, enriching their lives while creating beautiful shared memories. Taking the time to check our inventory of food and medications helps ensure that we’re prepared and our pets’ needs are always met, making the act of caring feel even more joyful. To balance these responsibilities smoothly, we can lean on time management tips and encourage family members to help with pet care tasks, helping create a collective sense of responsibility. It’s essential, too, to be flexible and adjust our routines based on the unique needs of each pet and any lifestyle changes we may encounter. Ultimately, committing to a well-thought-out pet care routine not only enhances our pets’ well-being but also strengthens the bond we cherish. By crafting a personalized approach to pet care, we can ensure that our furry companions are happy, healthy, and feel like truly treasured members of our families. Caring for pets in our homes is a profound responsibility that highlights the essential role we play in ensuring their happiness and well-being. The services we provide, whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or grooming, are vital to keeping our furry friends healthy and joyful. Understanding the fundamental principles of pet care is truly important. Each pet has unique needs that deserve our attention—this includes their nutritional requirements, exercise routines, and socialization habits. Creating a safe and nurturing environment is crucial, along with regular health checks and timely vaccinations, all of which contribute to the loving responsibility of pet ownership. Pet sitting is a compassionate commitment that begins with thoughtful preparation. Meeting the pet and its owner helps us understand their routines and preferences, enabling us to provide personalized care. Daily tasks, like sticking to feeding schedules, arranging exercise and playtime, and maintaining a clean environment, are all part of making sure our pets feel secure and loved. It’s also important to monitor their behavior; this sensitivity allows us to notice any signs of stress and helps us manage interactions, particularly in households with multiple pets. When it comes to dog walking, taking the time to assess each dog’s individual needs is essential, as every dog has its unique pace and socialization style. Prioritizing safety during walks is key; this means using a leash properly and staying aware of our surroundings. After a fulfilling walk, offering hydration and ensuring the dog has a peaceful time to rest, along with checking for any injuries or ticks, is a significant part of the care we provide. Grooming our pets regularly is another deeply caring aspect of pet ownership. This includes bathing, brushing, clipping nails, and keeping their ears and teeth clean. Grooming routines can vary based on different breeds and coat types, and this time spent together also allows us to detect any skin issues or health concerns early on. We should also make special considerations for senior or special needs pets, as they require extra attention and compassion. Caring for multiple pets in one home comes with its own set of challenges, but with a gentle approach, we can foster harmony. Additionally, being prepared for emergencies by equipping ourselves with first aid knowledge is invaluable and underscores our commitment to our beloved pets. Ultimately, building a trusting and loving relationship with both pets and their owners is at the heart of successful pet care. By dedicating ourselves to ongoing education and adapting to new practices, we become better equipped to meet the ever-evolving needs of our cherished companions.
“Lukasz is at home with shepherds and Marley looks forward to her walks. He is super quick on the draw to answer back and very enthusiastic and earnest. If you need to have your dog walked while you are back in the office please consider Lukasz~esp. in the Sierra Estates neighborhood!”
About: Hi my name is Alexis I'm a full time college student and I nanny as well as pet sit. With that being said, I've always loved all fur babies and started dog sitting locally overnight about 4 years ago. I now help with dog sitting during my stay with clients while being a nanny. Occasionally I will also volunteer and dog walk at Rock and Rescue adoption center in Woodland Hills when I have free time after school. Additionally, I will help a friend of mine who has her own dog walking business walk the dogs and spend time with them if needed. I am hoping to meet you and your fur baby soon and I can't wait to hear back from you! Thank you.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 12 years, growing up in a home with dogs and other animals. From a young age, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently studying biology in college with the goal of becoming a veterinarian, so caring for animals isn't just something I enjoy—it's the career I'm working toward. I'm passionate about animal health and well-being, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. I'm a responsible, patient, and dependable pet sitter who understands that every pet has their own routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment I arrive. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve.

I'm generally available from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but I'm always willing to be flexible and accommodate your schedule whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions and your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed and instructed), and any household rules you have in place. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to make them feel comfortable while respecting their space and personality. I'll also keep your home clean and secure, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly handled at all times. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Amazing Experience! Kevin & his family treated our Ruby as if she was a member of their own family. My family was able to enjoy our trip knowing our baby was being well taken care of. We received regular updates with pictures of our Ruby having an absolute blast during her stay. She had so much fun, she almost didnt't want to come home. I would highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to board with him again in the future.”

We truly appreciate it. ??”
“This was our first time dropping our puppies off with anyone. Tiffany and her family welcomed them in like they were part of their own family.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
“Sarah S. was very accommodating! She was flexible with earlier drop off and pick up times and even came to the park for a meet and greet before hand. She responds to messages quickly and sent plenty of updates while we were gone. I will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you Leslie for your patients and understanding in regards to both of our pets having to adjust in your home. Looking forward to future sittings with you and your husband.”
“Melissa is always so accommodating and willing to host Kylo even if it’s a last minute request. She really treats him as one of her own doggies, always spoiling him with lots of cuddles, treats, and multiple walks throughout the day. She also sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day to put your mind at ease! Thank you Melissa, Kylo can’t wait for his next stay with you!”
“A very nice family who took great care of our two pups. They sent us lots of photos, and the dogs looked very happy in all of them. I think they were even a little sad to leave 😆 Will board with them again in the future!”
“Kayla was so sweet and took such great care of my dog! She communicated with me throughout the whole time and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she genuinely cares, and I would definitely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
“Rover / Laura & Brian After a last minute rescheduling, we needed to find a trustworthy sitter for our fur-babies. However no family or friends were available on such short notice of only a few weeks, leaving us worried and cornered into venturing to find a stranger to watch the most important things we love… our quiet 10 yr old 12 lb Pomchi, and goofy 80 lb Boxer/Staffy. Having 2 pups that are so different, but so GOOD and SPECIAL makes it so hard to find someone that WE feel can understand and appreciate their precious personalities. After Laura & Brian we’re gracious enough to allow us to introduce the pups to them beforehand (On Dodger Day, no less!), we found our boys to not only be comfortable, but excited! Laura explained how they watch and protect the little one, while also being completely capable with handling my goofy Boxer. Brian came out and my boxer who can be protective, immediately realized he was safe. During our trip we received photos and videos of our boys having the best week vacation, with new fur-friends and human-family. Feeling confident with a family we had just met with our babies was just an absolute blessing. When we came back to pick our babies up, not only did they not want to immediately leave, but Bowzer showed signs of guarding his “new family”. 😭🤣😅 Being able to trust strangers, LAST MINUTE that are so sweet and attentive to our babies was such a blessing/lucky/whatever you want to say. My dogs are my life. While leaving them is never easy, Laura and Brian made it as easy as possible. I think that we can start feeling more confident when we need to have our babies watched, and we are so so thankful!!! 💜👾🙏🏼”
“Shannon and her family were amazing! She kept me updated with pictures and videos of Ollie and he always looked so happy and well taken care of! She responds very fast and care so much about the pets she watches! I would definitely bring Ollie back again!”
“Anh and William were amazing! They sent updates and photos of Yeti every day. They took him on daily walks and their whole family played with him. They got to know Yeti pretty well and he had a great time with their dog as well! Super awesome!”
