“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love.

About: Your pet’s new favorite sitter 🐶—providing dependable care, plenty of love, and photo updates while you’re away! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and it’s always been something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, treating each one like they’re part of my own family. I’ve always loved getting to know their unique personalities, routines, and little quirks. Now, I’m excited to open my services to more pet parents and provide the same loving, dependable care to their furry family members. My remote job allows me to spoil your fur baby with a paw safe yard and secure fencing. Since I work from home, I’m able to be available throughout the day to take regular breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also enjoy having them around while I work. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. There will always be fresh water, regular walks and playtime + belly rubs. If your pet has special medication or routine needs, I’ll follow the care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment so you can get away stress free :)!

“Great host for our dog!! Very good communication with frequent updates and even pictures and videos. We know he had a good time. We would book with Tatiana again.”

“Our dog Finn loved Shardae!! It was our first time leaving him and Shardae gave him the attention and love he needed. Also, she was very fast to respond to our request, asking questions, and giving me the opportunity to ask questions, to make sure she was a good fit for Finn. I will definitely call Shardae next time we leave town. Big Thanks!!”
“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! ❤️”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.
“Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my cats! :) Aileen communicates very well and replies fast! She takes so many cute photos of your pets! Would definitely recommend and use again in the future!”

About: Just a girl with experience willing to pet sit and dog walk. I’ve raised both a kitten and a puppy, so I have experience with younger animals. I also have experience with small pets as well like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fishes. I am mainly doing this because I love animals, especially dogs. I am young so there for energetic enough to keep up with dogs and young dogs or cats. I will make sure the dog or cat is feed, played with, and walked during the day. I am quick to reply whether it is on the app or through my phone number. I hope you have a nice day or night. I am currently working part time at my job so my schedule isn’t too busy. I plan to work on most of my available off days. I have an indoors area, my cat is always inside and my dog spent most times inside but we go have a gated area outside for any pets that would like to be outside.

Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”

We received daily updates and pictures(she even got our very scary kitty who’s by the way never been a people person…to pet her) a miracle in my eyes lol so shout out to her. I’ll definitely be booking again !”
“Jackie is great with our cat! On long trips she makes sure our cat doesn’t get too lonely and even leaves the TV on a timer to help him feel like he has company. She plays with our active cat a lot and sends lots of pictures and detailed visit cards”
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

Your fur baby will enjoy total freedom to step outside for sunshine, playtime, or potty breaks whenever they wish!

I offer a calm, clean, and warm environment where your dog will feel standardly loved and right at home. You can expect regular daily updates with photos and videos so you have complete peace of mind while you're away!

My backyard is fully fenced with zero escape hazards. I only accept friendly, vaccinated pets to ensure a harmonious environment.

“We had a fantastic experience leaving our pup with Lauren and her husband for daycare. From the start, they were thorough in explaining how they safely and calmly introduce new dogs into their home. They kept us updated with regular photos throughout both days, so we always knew Comet was having a great time. They even sent Comet home on the last day with a couple of adorable Polaroid photos! We highly recommend them!”
“Mindy was truly amazing. I needed care last minute and it’s hard to find sitters that allow their (human pretending) dogs stay on furniture and beds. My sweet boy has anxiety but I could tell from the first photos Mindy provided me that he was extremely comfortable. I love that Mindy has the space for my dog and she works from home so she can provide the attention needed for my baby. I also had last minute changes and she was able to watch Tank longer than anticipated and will become him back again. Thank you Mindy! Your property was perfect and clean and immaculate for my dog and I love that you live 9 minutes from me! I would use Mindy over and over again!”

“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
“This baby sitter always comes through for me. Traveling for an extended trip. Dog being a baby and doesn’t WANT to stay home alone for 10 hours. Surgery. And my puppy, now a teenager in human years(?), is always very happy to GO BACK to stay with them again. Her being healthy and happy (plus photos of her day) is the REAL TEST!!!”
“We can see that Toro thoroughly enjoyed himself at his first time at day care with Elaine. He came home so tired after a full day of playing with so many variety of dogs. He ate dinner and slept for the rest of the evening. Thanks so much for taking care of our Mr Toro and giving us a piece of mind.”

“We are so grateful for Xenia and her family! Skye is a bit shy at first and Xenia & Co. gave him plenty of space and time to get comfortable.

About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.
“Summit loved hanging out with Jasmine for the day! She was very communicative and I appreciated the proactive meet and greet. Would definitely use her again and recommend her”
About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.
“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”

Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”

About: I've had pets my entire life. I understand that they're a treasured member of the family. I'm also a weekly volunteer at the LA County Carson/Gardena Animal Shelter. I've received extra training on animal behavior & handling. I love giving animals whatever type of attention they need and I'm extremely patient with them. I'm equally comfortable with dogs & cats (and pretty much everything except orca whales). Overnight stays, walks, giving medication, litter boxes, feeding, you name it. Petting animals is good for our mental health, so let's meet more pets! I work full time in an office Mon-Thurs with an hour commuteon each end. While I can do overnight house sitting, I'm gone all day (12hrs) at work so not available for walks/potty breaks. I work remotely on Fridays, so lots of flexibility. I have two extremely particular kitties at home, so unfortunately I cannot offer care in my own home. But I am happy to come to yours!
About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: Just a girl with experience willing to pet sit and dog walk. I’ve raised both a kitten and a puppy, so I have experience with younger animals. I also have experience with small pets as well like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fishes. I am mainly doing this because I love animals, especially dogs. I am young so there for energetic enough to keep up with dogs and young dogs or cats. I will make sure the dog or cat is feed, played with, and walked during the day. I am quick to reply whether it is on the app or through my phone number. I hope you have a nice day or night. I am currently working part time at my job so my schedule isn’t too busy. I plan to work on most of my available off days. I have an indoors area, my cat is always inside and my dog spent most times inside but we go have a gated area outside for any pets that would like to be outside.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and potty routines, and I’m also comfortable administering medications or providing gentle care to older pets with mobility issues. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m walking, feeding, or simply spending time with them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they feel reassured while away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it every day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, depending on what’s needed. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize the pet’s needs. Taking care of animals is not just a task for me—it’s something I look forward to and naturally fits into my everyday life. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure—no small objects or hazards around, doors and gates are checked, and routines are followed to reduce stress. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, medical needs, and personality so I can provide personalized care and maintain consistency. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely—feeding times, walk routines, or any specific care preferences. I also keep them updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes to build trust and give them peace of mind. In my own home, I only take in pets I know I can safely accommodate, and I gradually introduce them to the space to make sure they feel comfortable. Whether I’m in their space or mine, I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and full attention.
“Sarah provided consistent communication and understood each of our three dogs personalities in order to care for each in the best way possible. She was patient and understanding with our smallest and most skittish pup while still loving. She went above and beyond by cleaning up loose fur and always provided excellent feedback and pictures during walks. Would definitely ask her to help out again. Thank you Sarah!”
About: I have grown up around animals since childhood and I love animals, especially dogs. I am responsible and patient, and I enjoy spending time caring for and walking dogs. I am available in the afternoons and evenings during weekdays and on weekends. Pet care fits well into my routine and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I am comfortable with all types of animals and always make sure they are safe, calm, and well cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions and treat every pet with patience and respect.

She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”

I will definitely call Shardae next time we leave town. Big Thanks!!”

I hope she never moves because she will forever be our go to for Falkor!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”

Highly recommend to anyone in need of a rover!”

“Mollie was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever! He had such a great time and it was clear that she truly welcomed him into her family and made him feel right at home. We really appreciated the picture updates while we were away, and they gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, we could tell that he had very little anxiety being away from us, which says a lot about how comfortable and well cared for he was. We’re so grateful to Mollie and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
