“I cannot recommend Elaine highly enough! She took the most exceptional care of our pup! Coco has been in Elaine’s care several times now and she is truly treated like family. Elaine is thoughtful, professional, and clearly an expert when it comes to animals. What stood out most is how genuinely caring and loving she is — you can tell she truly loves pets. Knowing Coco was in her hands gave me complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found someone so dependable and compassionate.”
“Tbh she makes me feel like I’m with my dog just without the responsibilities. She takes great care of him as if he is her own. Can’t express how grateful we are to have found her. Both the puppy and us have a great experience every single time!!!! Totally recommend her hands down.”
“Katherine and John took such good care of Nala. They shared pictures while I was away and Nala looked very happy! I will definitely use them again. It’s such a relief to find people you can trust leaving your pet with.”
“Marlo took amazing care of our 5-year-old pup, Sky! We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and it was clear she was in great hands. She also sends the best updates, which made us feel so at ease. Reliable, kind, and fantastic with pets—highly recommend!”
“Great sitter for my dogs. This is my second time using him. I moved to San Diego and found Ronald when I was leaving .Los Angeles. Glad I kept his profile. I have 4 dogs and Ronald kept them all at the last minute for the Easter weekend .”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough. She was fantastic with our girls during their 8 day stay with her. She cared for our 2 golden retrievers (Mia and Riley), Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and our Russian Blue cat (Olivia- who has special needs as she is a tripod kitty) so well and gave us the peace of mind knowing they were in a safe and loving environment. Laura communicates very well and at the right frequency to give updates on your babies and sends pictures to help when you are missing their sweet faces. I know her house must have been hair-covered by the time we picked them up (mine always seems to be despite roomba constantly running) but she was gracious and no complaints. We will definitely book Laura in the future.”
“This was Lolly’s 2nd time staying with Karina, but her first extended stay and she had an amazing time! Karina always keeps you updated with several photos each day and let’s you know about any concerns she might have or funny stories about your dog’s day. I will continue to book with Karina for any dog sitting needs I might have. So very thankful to have found a sitter so friendly, detail oriented, and as caring as she is.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Brandon took amazing care our 3 year-old Boxer mix, Deebo. He kept us constantly updated with many pictures. I will definitely rebook with Brandon in the near future. Thank you for taking care of Deebo!”
“Annette was amazing. Right off the bat you can tell she loves and cares for animals. Her home is safe, secure and very cozy. She checked in throughout the day and sent the cutest photos. She administered eye drops to one of my girls and even let me know when she noticed one had more eye discharge than normal. 5 stars and I will be rebooking for any upcoming trips!”
“Sherry and Andres are the sweetest couple we’ve ever met! She took care of my pup while we were on vacation and did such a stellar job! I received photo and video updates every day, and when we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave because he had so much fun hanging out with them and the other doggies. 🥹 I have complete trust in their care and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Edwin and Jenn are amazing! They were so patient with our dog, Bailey, and incredibly easy to communicate with. They were open to doing a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped us feel confident that Bailey would be in great hands. This was our first time leaving Bailey with anyone outside of family for more than a couple of days, and we genuinely never had to worry while we were traveling. They kept us at ease and updated the entire time. They were also very accommodating and flexible with both pick-up and drop-off. On top of that, their pups are so sweet and super friendly. We highly recommend them!”
“We reached out to find someone that could handle our pibble puppy that’s high energy… we are so lucky we found Austin! We instantly felt comfortable with him and knew he was the right person. He took such good care of our Maile, and sent us updates. He also worked with us to keep her training through her puppy stage. We will definitely reach out to him again and absolutely recommend him. Thank you so so much, Austin!”
“Nick and Cora were great with our chow chow. They took him for many walks and kept him company. They were great for me too, sending many pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing. Six stars!”
“Amber and her family were a delight! Extremely responsive, kind, professional, friendly, and truly caring animal lovers. Amber sent us lots of sweet photo updates, kept our dog in amazing spirits, and upon pickup he was perky, peppy, and smiling. We loved that their family was around to play with him, as he loves interaction and playtime with humans and kids. The house was clean and spacious for numerous dogs. The backyard was so perfect for all types of dogs; it was large, clean, and very safe to be on or off leash to lounge, snooze, and sunbathe. It was fully gated and secure. We will definitely re-book with Amber and hope that she is available!!! Thank you so much Amber and family!!! :-)”

“Clémentine did an amazing job taking care of our rather difficult cat for a week! She is incredibly professional, highly communicative, thorough, and a true pet expert. We are so glad we booked her.”
“Raymond went above and beyond to take care of our 2 cats. He did extra things like cleaning their food bowls and sweeping stray litter that the cats tracked throughout the house. We will definitely be booking him again!”
“This was our first visit with Shelli M. and found her to be reliable, thorough and very friendly. She cared for our two senior cats with pets and rubbies. She texted us everyday with photos and videos of our fur babies. Everything was lovely when we got back from our trip.”
“From the beginning, Danielle was communicative and intuitive! Our babies, Coco and Kwame, can be a bit shy, especially Kwame, but he warmed up to Danielle so fast in the first meeting, which brought us a lot of relief and comfort. We loved and appreciated the check-ins she would send of our babies, and to see them open up to her really let us know that they were being genuinely taken care of and engaged with. She was so flexible about adding an extra check-in we needed to add at the last minute. She was so attentive with the details of emergency contacts, key drop-offs, and vet information. We really appreciated this, since we had so many things in mind for our trip. She also followed instructions, especially during feeding time, because Kwame is a thief, and Coco will let him. We are definitely going to book with her again since our babies are comfortable with her, and it was so easy to communicate with her. See you soon, Danielle, thank you! :)”
“Stephanie is such a gem! She takes incredible care of my sweet girl and the cuddly/purring videos and adorable photos she sends keep me going while I'm gone. I always know Arya is in wonderful hands with her!”
“Jennifer really helped to ease my worries during my holiday trip. I’ve never left my cats with a sitter before this so I was a little anxious but Jennifer was awesome! She took great & thorough care of my cats during each visit and took such cute photos of my kittens. She was also very communicative and asked questions, which I appreciate greatly. Thank you for loving and caring for my cats, Jennifer! I really appreciate your time and effort, especially during the holiday season.”
“Heather took great care of my cat. Lira is an elderly cat with health issues. Heather came by everyday fed her, scooped litter box and gave her medicine and some love and cuddles.She also gave me detailed feedback and pictures after her visits. I am planning a trip for my birthday next month and I hope she is available to take care of Lira again. Highly recommend.”
“Alycia was a great cat sitter and very easy to correspond with. She sent pictures and helped with a last minute plant watering request as well. I was very comfortable having her come to my apartment and would recommend to anyone!”
“Molly was so amazing! We were new to our location and nervous about leaving our three cats for the first time and she was so great! She sent us updates and photos and had great communication the entirety of our trip. We would definitely recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
“I hired Nicolas for last-minute cat sitting around Xmas and he did a great job. Followed directions, kept the litter box tidy, and I returned home to a happy cat. I would definitely consider rebooking him.”
“Carla is lovely and took wonderful care of Louie. She took pictures everyday and went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable by sending us a list of everything she did during her visit. Carla, we really appreciate all your help!”
“We love Gabby! This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure to know that Gabby was taking care of our two cats while out of town. Gabby is so sweet and caring and 100% reliable. My husband and I trust her completely and feel our babies our being loved whilst away. We’ll absolutely use her services again!!!!”
“Marissa was attentive, communicative, and great with our pets. She was thoughtful about checking in and her updates were clear and reassuring. I will be using her services again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Marissa is incredible and works so well with my cats. I can always count on her to deliver what they need. Whether it’s cuddles, playing, or just hanging out, she shows up for them.”
“Jackson is super warm, polite, professional and responsible! He takes great care of Tsuki, feeding her, cleaning her litter box and playing with her. You can tell this dude is a real pet lover from the first moment you see him. Also don’t forget his photography talent!”
“Cassandra took care of my old cat so well!! My cat has some medical needs that were handled with care and everything else went so smoothly with copious pictures provided. Would absolutely book her again and highly recommend you do the same!”

“Frankie had a blast w Ellaine and her dogs that also stayed with her this Thanksgiving. Frankie definitely was tired when she got home, which is great because Frankie has a ton of energy.

I highly recommend her services and have been a repeat customer cause I trust my puppy w her. ”

I would absolutely bring Diego back here.”

About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have house sat for many friends. I’m a recent former veterinary assistant with 6 years of clinical and hospital experience. I understand dog and cat behavior and have studied under amazing veterinarians, so I feel confident I can treat your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I can give medications depending on the pet’s temperament but will do my best. :)
“Ali was so great with my girl, Nova! I appreciated the care she took with her and Nova came back excited and happy. She was also able to accommodate my last minute request. I will be booking with Ali again!”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life. I learned at a young age the responsibility and passion it takes to properly care for an animal. I understand that pets are truly a part of the family and I treat all animals with love and respect. I have cared for multiple dogs and cats that were my own and also for friends and family. Anyone that you ask can attest that I am the biggest animal lover! I am a full time entrepreneur/artist, so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to step away from my work to check on your pet as needed or pick up my laptop to care for your pet in their own space. I am available Monday-Friday with a flexible schedule and occasional Saturday and Sundays. Since I am self-employed, I am able to come to your home to care for your pet at any time of the day for as long as your pet needs! Depending on your pet's needs, I can be as attentive or as quick as you like. Working from home allows me to consistently check in on your pet and meet all of their physical and emotional needs. I love and care for all dogs I come across, so every breed is welcomed with open arms!
“Elizabeth was so great with my dogs ! Kept me updated everyday and sent pictures of my dogs on the walk ! She was so kind and patient with them as well. I will definitely be booking with her again !”

About: I've always known I was an animal person! I've grown up with cats and dogs since I was 5 years old — 7 family cats and 5 family dogs throughout the years — so I'm familiar with every stage, from puppy and kitten energy all the way through senior care. Personally, I have 3 wonderful pups of my own. We're an active household: we walk every day and make sure to play and engage with them throughout the day, so I understand firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. As someone with three dogs of my own, it's important to me to provide the same level of care I'd want for my own pups. I want you to feel confident that your dog will be looked after just as they would be in your own home with the same patience, attention, and love. I am present full time for your pup! Care fits right into my everyday routine rather than being squeezed in around it, so your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day. After I have a better understanding of your pup's routine we'll go on walks, play in our fenced front and back yard with lots of grass to enjoy, and I'll send you pics and updates along the way so you can see how they're doing. For rest and downtime, we have a private, dog-friendly ADU set up specifically for our furry guests to decompress after play and meals. I'm present in the ADU with them, and we also have a Furbo camera set up for extra monitoring. If your pup enjoys canine company, my Australian Shepherd will keep them company there; if your pup prefers to be the only dog, we'll give them their own separated space and time instead, tailored to what makes them most comfortable. Throughout the day, care naturally rotates between active time outside and quiet time in the ADU, so your pup gets a good balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest with me nearby the whole time. Your pet's safety is my top priority, both indoors and out. My front and back yards are fully fenced and gated, with an added interior gate leading to the backyard for extra security. I never let dogs outside unsupervised for extended periods, and I always do a visual check of the yard and gate latches before letting anyone out. We have cameras covering the front yard, so we never open the door to unfamiliar people, and dogs are always leashed the moment we step outside the fenced area. Indoors, I keep household chemicals, medications, and anything toxic to pets safely stored away, and I make sure trash cans and food are out of reach. I follow each pet's normal feeding, water, and bathroom schedule as closely as possible, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. If I'm caring for multiple pets at once, I introduce them slowly and supervise their interactions until I'm confident everyone is comfortable together.
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
