“Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Bonnie and Clyde are my precious babies and I don't like to leave them. I recently moved and was looking for a local sitter to build a relationship with so the dogs would be comfortable in my absence. I have found the perfect one. Unfortunately, in the midst of planning and being away, I lost my mother. Dustin and his family were beyond amazing in accommodating my needs. In addition, they were extremely caring and thoughtful. Though a sad and terrible time, they made me feel at ease knowing my babies were well taken care of while I was gone. I cannot say enough nice things about them. I will be using them in the future definitely! ”
“Where do I even begin? Nia watched Gordo for 12 days and not once did I question his safe being. Gordo is a young but big puppy and is not easy to deal with always and sometimes doesn’t know the line between soft and aggressive playing. I was worried because It’s important for me to leave Gordo when I travel in a trust situation. Nia, not only took very thurogh instruction on Gordos care, Gordo has come back a different dog. Not making it up. His behavior is so much more relaxed and has been incredible. Idk what Nia, but so grateful for it. I got the cutes pics and video stitching edits everyday. Not to mention the goodie bag she sent home with Gordo 😭 her dogs are the absolute cutest also. So grateful. I. My opinion her nightly rates are low and could charge double for her services if she wanted to. Thank you again 🫶🏼”
“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better host for my pups! Bailey took the time to ask questions and accommodate for what would work best for my dogs’ needs. She also made sure my dogs had plenty of time outside in her private yard which I’m sure my dogs loved. To top it off she sent me daily pictures and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Bailey!”
“Otto had a great time, and Cameron was so responsive and accommodating despite our travel complications. It was so nice seeing all the videos and getting a peek at all the fun the dogs were having. We’ll be sending Otto here again soon!”
“Julia kept our senior pug for nearly 2 weeks and took great care of her! She was quick to communicate, provided lots of updates and was flexible with us when we returned a day early from our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Thank you Susana for taking care of Dexter. I can tell he had a great time and was well taken care of. He got a lot of rest when he came home, so I can tell he had a great time with your family and your dogs.”
“Cheryl is the best honestly , always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. She’s patient, communicative, and I’ve never had any issues and I will always recommend Cheryl for the best care for your dog .”
“My baby Amehlo is 11 years old and Ive never left her with someone but my son was getting married and I couldnt bring her. Im so happy it was Jenny who I left her with because it all turned out fantastic. Jenny kept me updated with pics which helped me stay focused on my son and the wedding. When I picked her up I could tell by the way she was acting that she had a really good time and that Jenny was nothing but loving with her. Bonus: Im going to start bringing Amehlo to Jenny to spend the day like once a week or every couple weeks! Thanks Jenny!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs with Cristina. And I know, because the pics and videos, that my dogs had a great time and enjoyed their stay! Thank you Cristina for watching them like they are yours.”
“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Such a great sitter! Has been watching my pup for a few months now. Was super lucky to find him. Shadow loves him. Would highly recommend him to anyone who’s new or wants a new good kind person to look after your furry baby! 10/10 recommend! ❤️”

Cat caregivers near you - Lakeside
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Been taking care of cats since I was a teenager. Experienced in feeding, cuddling, litter pan cleaning and giving medications (when they let us!) Look forward to meeting your pet!
“Our cat was in good hands with Mariela! She was quick to respond to all messages and thorough with her care and updates of our cat while we were out of town. Mariela will be our first choice the next time we need help.”
“This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.”
About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cats while I was out of town! She went over and above and was communicative with me while I was gone. I’d recommend her to anyone! I’ll definitely be using her in the future.”
About: Although I've never had the pleasure of owning my own cat, pretty much everyone else that I know has (which is great for me). I've spent the past couple years cat sitting for friends and enjoyed every second of it. I've grown used to playful nips and scratches just as I've learned about cat personalities. Some cats need to be by you at all times, while others don't even care that you're there - both just as fun to visit! I like adapting to each cat as I get to know them and figuring out their favorite scratching spots, their preferences on if I should pretend I'm not there, and how silly they sound when they get super vocal. I'm big on communication and will quickly and openly work with you to ensure your cat has a puuurrfect experience (sorry). Feel free to reach out with questions or concerns!
“This is the second time I used Loren to take care of my cat while I was gone. Loren is an amazing animal sitter and I’m so grateful I found her. I 100% recommend using Loren for your sitter needs!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Angelina and I’ve had cats my whole life! I’ve definitely seen it all from having to give insulin shots to inhalers to mood shifts from family members leaving to the service. So I’d love to say I’m well versed in the craziness of cats. I’m big on love and snacks along with if your baby needs any medications while she’s here. You can count on me! Best, Angelina Darling
“Ashley sat for my cat, Minty for 6-30 minute sessions. Minty warmed to Ashley immediately. She can be a bit skittish. Ashley did a great job interacting with Minty and doing all necessary tasks. I will definitely contact Ashley again for future care.”
About: I've grown up with many cats around me and also have volunteered at a cat adoption place where I would play, clean, and processed adoptions. I also volunteer at spca and also play and clean and have quiet time with the cats at their facility. I'm extremely comfortable around them and can read their emotions well! I would love to get extra cuddles or keep you at ease with visiting your animal!
“Amber took excellent care of our senior cat. Rusty needs daily injections and Amber was able to give him this medication without any stress to him. I would recommend Amber without hesitation and will rebook in future.”
“Gretchen was amazing. She spent a mo th caring for my cat and my home. I came home to a perfectly clean home and my kitty was well taken care of. Halle will miss all the attention and love she got from Gretchen. I would definitely have Gretchen back. A++”
“Brianna was able to come on short notice to help with my pets. I loved how quickly she communicated her time schedules so we could coordinate the times. As well she picked up my plants that my cats knocked over. My house smelled and looked nice I will definitely book her again this time for a full stay.”
About: Hi my name is Ash! I currently don’t have a job so I’m available for all services at any time. I’ve been around different types of dogs my entire life. I love to keep dogs entertained and happy by playing with them, walking with them, letting them run around the house, feeding them yummy treats and food, and give lots of cuddles! I’m very good at keeping an eye on dogs when they are wearing a cone or if they are sick. I have experience on giving antibiotics to dogs. I usually let dogs out to go pee every 2-3 hours. I love all animals and am so excited to take care of your dog! I have an apartment but I live close to plenty of dog parks! My schedule is open I don’t work at a physical place right now so I have more than enough time to care for my dogs and yours!

Any mess that is made will also always be cleaned up.
About: I have been taking care of animals from small critters all the way to larger animals like horses for over 20 years. I am reliable and highly responsive. I will send photo updates, and make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. I work part time outside of pet sitting and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to make sure your animals have the attention they need. I am able to care for your fur babies at your place, so they feel comfortable. This also minimizes stress instead of staying in a new environment
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young! I grew up fostering animals and taking care of our own. I am great with dogs of all sizes and breeds, but have a special love for big breeds as ive had akitas most of my life! I worked at petsmart for 2 years, so I got to work with dogs, cats, and exotics nearly every day! I also have a variety of animals of my own, including a rabbit, a gecko, and some tree frogs! I have a very fun home🏡☺️ I also have some light experience with grooming and lots of bathing experience! I currently work as a respite care worker for individuals with disabilities, so my schedule is very variable!😊 I schedule week by week so please feel free to send me a request!

“She was so caring and attentive to my dog, and I love how she keeps you updated on everything. She was very accommodating given the fact that I had to drop of my dog really early for work. Would definitely recommend, I know I’ll be going to her for my pup.”
About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime and two cats. Every animal that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I love and appreciate animals for their never ending love for us humans. Rest assured that I was responsible for all of my pets and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner, so my experience can be valuable when it comes to caring for other pets. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.

“Hana is so sweet and such a professional! You can tell how much she cares for dogs and her knowledge is vast with dog training! Our dog, Brodie, used to go to daycare at a big facility but would always be too overstimulated. With Hana, his demeanor is way better! Would recommend her to anybody!”
“I reached out to Holly with a last minute sitter request. Holly was super responsive to my requests regarding Wee. I appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond by picking her up from my other sitter, as well as being flexible around whether I would need day care or overnight care for her.

“Vanessa has been great taking care of both our Cane Corso and our Frenchie Terrier. She was super accommodating taking our reservation last minute and both Loki and Batman enjoyed their time w her. Batman had a follow up stay w her and came home relaxed and calm! Would recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication. I recently served as the ASB President at my high school, where I learned the importance of being dependable, organized, and someone others can count on. This fall, I’ll be attending California Lutheran University to pursue both my bachelor’s and then master’s degrees. I truly love animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and treat your pet like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently on summer break and in the process of preparing for my first semester at California Lutheran University, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they stay on their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, provide plenty of love and attention, and always keep a close eye on them. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet, and I’ll communicate with you throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

“Ginger loves staying with Sandy. The first time she stayed with Sandy was for about 5 days and she would have been happy to stay longer. I’m so glad for Sandy as I no longer have a dog who resists going to daycare.”

I've raised all 3 of my dogs from puppies along with helping friends with theirs. I have tons of experience in cleaning and keeping them busy so I am more then happy to help with watching pups! I also have experience with elderly dogs that require medical treatment, as long as I get a detailed explanation on the steps to help I'll be able to follow them perfectly.

I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.
About: I’ve had hands-on experience with animals my entire life, beginning with growing up surrounded by pets and later adopting my own dog at just 11 years old. From a young age, I’ve been pet sitting throughout my neighborhood, caring for animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. Over the years, this experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive, loving, and dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care. I do not work, and I only attend college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for most of the day. Outside of those hours, I am fully available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I also have reliable transportation, so traveling to clients’ homes is never an issue. I’m committed to providing dependable, consistent care and making sure pets receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and behavior. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I always make sure pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of affection. I respect each pet’s boundaries and take the time to build trust at their pace, ensuring they feel relaxed, cared for, and safe at all times.

“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

About: I grew up with so many animals around me! My mom has 3 cats and 2 dogs, and my dad has the opposite, 3 dogs and two cats.

“Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Where do I even begin? Nia watched Gordo for 12 days and not once did I question his safe being. Gordo is a young but big puppy and is not easy to deal with always and sometimes doesn’t know the line between soft and aggressive playing. I was worried because It’s important for me to leave Gordo when I travel in a trust situation. Nia, not only took very thurogh instruction on Gordos care, Gordo has come back a different dog. Not making it up. His behavior is so much more relaxed and has been incredible. Idk what Nia, but so grateful for it. I got the cutes pics and video stitching edits everyday. Not to mention the goodie bag she sent home with Gordo 😭 her dogs are the absolute cutest also. So grateful. I. My opinion her nightly rates are low and could charge double for her services if she wanted to. Thank you again 🫶🏼”
“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better host for my pups! Bailey took the time to ask questions and accommodate for what would work best for my dogs’ needs. She also made sure my dogs had plenty of time outside in her private yard which I’m sure my dogs loved. To top it off she sent me daily pictures and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Bailey!”
“Otto had a great time, and Cameron was so responsive and accommodating despite our travel complications. It was so nice seeing all the videos and getting a peek at all the fun the dogs were having. We’ll be sending Otto here again soon!”
“My dog was so so happy the whole time of my vacation it’s like my nova (dog) she had her own vacation with this sitter honestly she was great sent me updates and pictures everyday and was also super nice and flexible when I was a whole day late for pickup one of the best sitters on here and my dog is not no little thing she’s a big girl so I’m honestly impressed she was able to handle my dog like she did 11 out of 10 experience will most definitely be booking with her again anytime I need.(:”
“My baby Amehlo is 11 years old and Ive never left her with someone but my son was getting married and I couldnt bring her. Im so happy it was Jenny who I left her with because it all turned out fantastic. Jenny kept me updated with pics which helped me stay focused on my son and the wedding. When I picked her up I could tell by the way she was acting that she had a really good time and that Jenny was nothing but loving with her. Bonus: Im going to start bringing Amehlo to Jenny to spend the day like once a week or every couple weeks! Thanks Jenny!”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Such a great sitter! Has been watching my pup for a few months now. Was super lucky to find him. Shadow loves him. Would highly recommend him to anyone who’s new or wants a new good kind person to look after your furry baby! 10/10 recommend! ❤️”
“Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better care for our Dobermans. Plenty updated and photos, dogs has lots of activities and love from Monica and her husband. Highly recommended! 🥰”
“Mark and Christina was absolutely amazing with my two pups. They recommended a meet and greet ahead of time with the other dogs they were watching and I was so impressed by their patience and understanding when our dogs were a bit nervous. They were kind, communicative, and send adorable pictures throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend them and would definitely book with them again!”
“I recently boarded my two dogs, Zuko and Dante, with Kirsten for two weeks and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was attentive and caring, making sure to follow their daily routine so well that when I picked them up, they slipped right back into it without any trouble. This really showed how consistent and thoughtful she was with their care. Zuko requires daily medication, and Kirsten made sure he received every dose right on time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also kept me updated with pictures throughout their stay, and it was easy to see how happy and comfortable both Zuko and Dante were with her. It’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving your pets, but Kirsten made it such a stress-free experience. I could tell my boys were in good hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!”
“Cody did a great job taking care of my dog (58 lb. mixed breed) for an entire week. A very nice household that often has other medium to large dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. He took care to request a meet and greet before accepting my reservation to make sure my dog got along with the dogs of a regular client. The boarding rates are extremely reasonable and I will definitely consider boarding my dog with Cody again in the future.”
“Bianca was simply amazing! We were worried we wouldn't be able to find someone to watch our pups as they're not used to staying with anyone but us and our pitty isn't too sure about people,especially men. But not only did Biance love and take care of our dogs, she also socialized our boy with some more men. I couldn't recommend her enough!!”
