“Brandon is a total gem! He and Billy are both so kind and caring. My two pups took to them immediately and had a wonderful time. Brandon is a great communicator and provided timely updates. I had a little mix-up with my dates, and Brandon was so flexible and accommodating with the change. I can't recommend them enough and my two pups can't wait to stay with them again.”
“Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you”

“WOW - Brandon is awesome and we are so lucky to have connected with him! Brandon took care of Max while we were out of the country for 5 days and provided us with twice daily photos and stories about his days and nights that allowed to enjoy our vacation without worry or guilt. He agreed to an early drop off and met us at the door ready to go and had Max packed up and at the door for pickup at the end of his stay. Max was glad to see us, and it was also very clear that he enjoyed his time with Brandon. We'll be back!”

“Carol is the absolute best person to care for your animals while you are away. She dropped in twice a day to clean up after my three cats, make sure they had fresh water and food, plus played with my hyper Bengal every time. She’s kind, intuitive, gentle and even my old sassy girl took treats from her ? Feel free to reach out to me for a personal glowing review!”

She is always on time for her check-ins and they all now recognize and know her. I always get lots of photos from her check-ins which are great. She's very communicative and on top of her pet care game!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and understand their unique personalities, routines, and care needs. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Kyla was wonderful with my dog Storm! Storm took a liking to her right away. Kyla was able to make sure Storm got a potty break and lots of loves, cuddles, and some treats while I was at work. Definitely recommend Kyla and would book with her again!”
About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands.

“Ana is awesome! She was truly kind and caring to my two special needs cats over several days/nights in my home. Managed medications and play as well as feeding schedules. I really liked the daily updates and photos even though I told her they weren’t necessary. I was nervous as first time leaving pets and home in someone else’s care. She is professional and made everything smooth and worry free. Already asked her to check her schedule for a future stay!”

About: I got my first pet when I was six years old. Since then, I have been taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 15 years. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to feed their pets, take them on walks, bathe them and even trim their nails, if needed. I love all pets and enjoy taking care of them as if they were my own. I can fit your schedule anytime with a week’s notice. For walks, mornings are more favorable due to weather conditions. For emergency care, one day advance would be preferred. I have a fenced yard where your dogs can play outside on the grass or they can enjoy indoor play with cool A/C. They’ll have their own room or they can be crated if needed.
“This is the second time we've worked with Shayna (we missed the review window on the first time) and we couldn't be happier having met her! She's provided both in-home overnights (10 days!) and day care for our 2 dogs, one old with medication needs and one young puppy. She is calm, friendly and professional and she clearly cares for every pet she works with. And our dogs LOVE her! She goes above and beyond expectations, shuttling our pups to appointments and even running errands if we needed something extra while we were gone. She already feels like part of the family and we look forward to working with her again. We can't recommend her enough!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, horses, and an entire 'ark' of farm animals. I offer pet sitting in my own home. I can take more than one dog if they are from the same owner. I currently do not have pets so my time is entirely devoted to your pet. I also offer care for your home should you need someone to drop in to water plants, view property, and gather mail. Happy to meet you and your pup for introductory welcome. "I currently enjoy a fully flexible schedule, making me available whenever you need me most — including last minute requests, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need recurring visits or spontaneous coverage, I am ready and happy to help." "Your pet receives attentive, loving care in my home with regular walks and potty breaks. I follow your exact routines, schedules, and habits while adding an extra layer of love."
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.
“Julie has been great with our dog. She is on time, keeps us updated with photos and texts. She is also very flexible if our schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter and will continue to use her for our pup.”
“Amy and Juan took such great care of Winston, accommodating us for a last minute stay. They took the time to understand him and his needs and really got to know him so well in such a short time.the communication and care was perfect. We would love to have Winston stay with Amy and Juan again soon!”
“Sierra was amazing from the start, she answered my inquiry so quickly and made the reservation process so easy. I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Sierra, he was always excited to come back after 4 days of doggy day care. My pup played with other dogs and got lots of play and exercise during the day - I love that I got photos each day, too. I’d definitely ask Sierra to dog sit again!”
“Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter for Coco. Jennifer’s dog, Stella, was playful, and the two dogs got along wonderfully. It was great knowing Coco had a fun companion to play with. I can tell Jennifer was very attentive and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I could tell Coco was well loved and cared for. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Nancy was amazing!!! She came thru in a pinch after we had two dog sitting cancellations. We were able to enjoy our family vacation to Disneyland while getting the most fun pics of Caramel throughout the day. Caramel was so happy at each drop-off and pick-up. Thank you Nancy, for helping us out and taking care of our precious fur baby :)”
“Ela was so wonderful. My Riley took to her instantly and she has bad stranger anxiety. I felt so at ease leaving her as I could tell she was in good hands. I appreciate her so much!”

About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 32 years of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.
“Sarah was great with our dogs! She was very patient getting them to warm up to her and took one for an extra long walk to give more time for them to do their business. Highly recommend, would book her again”
“Isabelle is fantastic! She’s always punctual, polite and our dog, Lady Belle, absolutely adores her. Isabelle goes above and beyond for our pup. I highly recommend her services!”

About: Lover of all animals. 20 years experience with our own dogs and others both HUGE and Small. Recently said goodbye to our old boy (a Large Great Weimar) and looking to spend some time with new doggy friends until we get our next. Extensive history with senior dogs and all of the care that goes along with that (assisted bathroom walks, pill schedules, dog bed changing, pee pads, etc), especially patience and love. Also happy with long walks or hikes for the adventurous tail waggers out there! My husband works from home full time, and I currently am available to give my full attention to our pet friends. So walks and attention at any time are not a problem. We have a large fenced in yard with additional barriers that can be added if needed. Lots of grass and play areas for fetch available. We also live in a gated golf community, with many paths and trails for any length of walks and play.
“The best! Shayna knows how to listen to my instruction & cautions then cares for my Frenchie genuinely-she communicates along the way to keep my worry & anxiety down. I feel so lucky to have her! She is a sweet, kind person & I highly recommend her”

“Lucy is great with Josh and Fiddler! She’s super sweet and attentive, follows all of our rules on feeding and water refresh; it was a terrific first visit and will definitely be booking more visits in weeks to come!”
“Sophia saved us last minute (day of) when we were in a pinch and needed care for our dogs. She sent really great report cards and pictures of the dogs and followed our instructions exactly. She was reliable and communicative and we know that our dogs really loved playing with her. Thank you Sophia!!!”
About: I can address the unique requirements of large and small breed dogs. I provide specialized care for senior and advanced senior dogs, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and healthy. I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles. I find that most animals actually like to stay in their own yard, but if need be, I do have decent sized back yard and it is secured by brick walls / concrete barriers.
“A.K is great, she’s taken care of our fur babies a few times, she’s very punctual and always keeps us updated about how our babies are doing, will definitely be rebooking her in the future”
“Fantastic experience with Mara getting our pupster back into the routine of her daily walk!

Mara also takes the most interesting, artistic photos of our pupster and shares with us.”
“Just started to work with Kristina and so far GREAT experience! On time, very respectful of property, my whippet (Fiddler) enjoys his time and is well cared for! Looking forward to many re-bookings!”

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a new born. The first were big dogs. A golden retriever and a brittney spaniel. As of currently my family consists of 3 little doggies and a hognose snake. Rags is my wired haired Doxie, Archie is my Chihuahua terrier mix, and Tessa is relatively unknown but we think she’s a corgi mixed with a chihuahua. My hognose is named morty. I rescued that love bug from his very forgetful (previous) owner. I’m working part time and I also door dash, Uber, instacart. I strive for my ability to be independent. I usually work my butt off for three days and stay home with the animals for the rest of the week. I figure spending more time with my animals I’d be happier. I am happier. Animals are like a zen zone for me. They’re easier to talk to and be playful self with. I keep my dogs food and water replenished. For my neighbors dogs that I occasionally watch from time and time again dude to her surgeries, I make sure they go out every 3 hours and I don’t feed them till 8am and 6 pm every day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.

“Kevin, is an exceptional pet sitter, he provided top-notch care and thoughtfulness for our beloved furry companion. From the moment we met him, his warmth, humor and friendliness welcomed our dog to him right away. He displayed great affection and expertise in caring for our pet. Kevin's thoughtful daily updates and photos not only provided peace of mind but also filled us with joy and comfort. We returned from our trip to find our dog content and happy. I highly recommend Kevin's services and will definitely be entrusting our pup to his care again!”
“Chloe loves to visit Laura and David. When we arrive she can hardly wait to get in the door. And after making sure everything is as she remembers, she settles right in. While Chloe is always glad to see us when we return, she doesn't leave without giving them both lots of puppy kisses. It is such a relief to go on our trips knowing Chloe is so content and well cared for. P Kirk”
About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!
