“Armando was great! My senior dog has separation anxiety and epilepsy. Some sitters don't know how to help him get comfortable during his stay but him, his wife, and Buddah made my pup feel at home.”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Nick and his wife were excellent with my pups. We had a meet and greet, and my dogs instantly fell in love with them. They sent updates and took really good care of them. I will highly recommend them. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“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”
“Great sitter. They follow all the instructions, making sure my dog was safe and well taking care of. My doggy enjoy staying at Quing. Will ask in the future to take care of my doggy again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years and would love to host small to medium-sized friendly, mellow dogs. I am an artist and writer who lives in San Pedro, CA, by the waterfront. I have a fenced yard and work out of my home art studio. I can board your doggie(s) at my house for the day or for a few hours. I do not own pets right now because I have been traveling a bit. I am available M-F, and holiday/weekends if given advance notice. Only two dogs at most at any one time at my home. Contact me if you want a trusted companion for your furry friend :) I wake up very early in the morning. I usually take a walk by midmorning, and work on art or writing for the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I have a fenced yard to allow your doggies to get air, sun, or run around a bit supervised. I am also comfortable with dogs sitting on my furniture or bed. I have hardwood floors.
“Ziya took wonderful care of our dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We’re very grateful for her care and attention, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter!”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
“I would definitely trust for Lukas to stay again. It was the first time he ever stayed with a sitter. He came back home very happy and in great conditions. Arriyanna is very good on responding to messages and sending pictures. 10/10 experience.”

“I couldn’t be happier with Larissa providing wonderful care for my sweet dog, Jewel. She was clearly well loved during her visit. I highly recommend Larissa for anyone looking for a caring, kind and reliable sitter ♥️”
“She made me feel at ease with the updates I was very nervous leaving my dog in general and she kept sending updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her in the future she is the best!”
“I found Sharyl through Rover. She is such a warm, kind hearted and fun loving person; I felt safe to leave my fur babies with her as soon as I met her. Both of my boys (a dog and a cat) are needy and they want to be with humans all the time. Sharyl gave my boys the attention they needed and she even let them sleep in her bed! During our trip, she also sent us pictures and videos to give us updates. I am so happy that I discovered Sharyl; I feel that we hit the jackpot!”
“Nala loves her Perla! She is very responsible and monitors her closely, giving us detailed reports. She manages the schedule well in advance, so I feel very comfortable leaving my baby in her care!”
“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!”
“I’d give 100 stars ✨ if I could! Elaine is amazing! Falkor and she because besties almost immediately, which put mine and my husband’s minds at ease. It’s never easy leaving our fur baby, he is our child! But never was there a doubt in our decision to leave him with Elaine! She is so kind and is definitely an animal person, like us! I hope she never moves because she will forever be our go to for Falkor!!! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have a special places in my heart for animals and can’t wait to share that love with your pets! I have always adopted my own dogs from the animal shelter and have experience with all types of temperament’s. I am also an avid runner with my own dogs and happy to take yours for a run as well if a walk isn’t enough for their energy needs. Since we can’t adopt any more dogs into our family at the moment, I joined Rover as a way to have more dogs in my life! I work full time from home but have a pretty flexible schedule to take my lunch break at any time during the day depending on when your pet needs me. While I will only be providing outside the home services, I always make sure to treat people’s homes as I would my home. I make sure to leave it better than I found it and alert the client if I noticed anything that needed their attention immediately.
About: I’ve taken care of and lived with cats for about 20 years but most importantly am a former veterinary assistant. I’ve learned to read their behavior so I can gain their trust and better care for them. Because of my clinic/hospital experience I feel comfortable medicating, if needed.
About: No, I had already been working with cats at my job. I never had a pet. About two years ago I decided to adopt my first cat at the harbor shelter. That was an entire different experience than taking care of a dog. They’re mostly on their own, but they definitely love love and cuddles. Then a year later I was blessed with the second cat that my mom found on the street. This cat was a neonate kitten. I have never taken care of such a small kitten before, even in my own profession, the biggest cats that we see, or at least two months. This kid and was a couple of days old I managed to bottlefeed him and woke up at every meow, took him to work with me, and he survived and grow to be a phenomenal cat.
“John did an absolutely incredible job caring for our two cats! We had a last minute booking because of an unplanned trip. John was available right away for a walkthrough, and was extremely attentive throughout. Significantly, both cats took a shine to him during our first meeting, which is rare and turned out to be a good sign! John is a cat person, and cats pick up on this immediately. It's amazing to see. John gave us constant updates, and even made extra visits. He played with the cats and watered our plants, and even gave one cat medication each day. He even sent us very artful photos of our cats! We felt so at ease being away with John caring for our cats. This confidence in John provided us with immense peace of mind and we are so grateful to him for the care and attention he showed to our beloved cats. We cannot recommend John enough... he's absolutely amazing. You cannot possibly find a better cat sitter.”
“Bethany is awesome!! I contacted her rather last minute to check in on my skittish cat while I was away for an extended trip. She replied super quickly and we were able to schedule a meeting. My cat is fairly shy, but Bethany took the time and attention to form a bond with him. I would definitely book her again, as she has a lovely personality as well as a wonderful way with animals. Thank you, Bethany! ?”
“Kayci was amazing! She took such good care of our kittens and she was really thoughtful with the pictures and messages she sent about how the visits were going. We would absolutely work with her again. She made us feel really comfortable leaving our kittens.”

Whether it’s daily walks, check ins, or overnight care, I’m reliable, flexible, and fully committed to your pet’s well being.
About: Hello, I’m 28 years old. I am excited to join and meet members of my community in need of someone that’s caring and trustworthy to look after their furry family members! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I like being outdoors and consider myself as active, so I will encourage exercise. I want your dog to get the physical and mental exercise they need, allowing them to have fun and feel safe, but will also meet your dog where they’re at. I will go the extra mile for your dog or your cat and will love them as my own. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting your pets!

About: I always thought of myself as only a cat person until I had my own dog… but the love is unwavering!! Cats and I understand each other because we’re quite the same, personality-wise. I’ve been cat sitting basically since I was a young child, around 4 years old. Love all fur babies!!
About: I absolutely love cats and their unique personalities 🐱💛 I’ve cared for many cats over the years for friends, family, and families I’ve worked with, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that’s giving belly rubs, little scratches, playtime, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m very intuitive with animals and respect each cat’s personality, whether they’re cuddly or more independent. I’ve also done overnight stays and even taken some cats on little walks! My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have over 2years of experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I have cared for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes thoroughly, playtime, and providing affection. I am patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s routine. I can also administer basic medications if needed and always make sure cats feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away.
“Angela seems to know how to connect to pets. My cat had a very relaxing and fun time under Angela’s care. She genuinely loves animals and the way she interacted with and cared for my cat showed it all. We strongly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
About: I adore cats and understand their unique personalities and comfort levels. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly, shy and timid, or a just takes time getting to know you, I adjust to whatever makes them feel safe and respected. I’m great with: • Slow introductions • Routine-based feeding • Litter box care • Playtime • Anxious or sensitive kitties who need a calm, patient sitter • Photo/Video updates My goal is to make your cat feel relaxed, secure, and cared for while you’re away, without disrupting their routine or space. I am always respectful of your home and follow instructions closely.
“Have been using him for dog sitting for months now and have now also had him drop in to say hi to our bird and cat. Always very pleased with his care! My dog is older and has special needs, in addition to pretty bad separation anxiety. My dog doesn't put up much of a fuss going to his house, which is a testament to how much he likes Armando, his wife, and Buddah! He was also very accomodating with the drop in visit- we had set up the TV to play while we were gone and it messed up, but he was willing to follow the instructions we sent to fix it so that the animals can have entertainment again! Very thankful to have found such a caring and quality sitter.”

“Pups loved Shelbie! Our 1st time using Rover and our experience with Shelbie was great! Appreciated the photos throughout the day. Pups were happy campers! Thanks Shelbie!”
“Qing took my little Kit for doggy day care for two long days at the very last minute. She was responsive and sent several photos throughout the stay. Kit seemed very happy when I dropped him off and when I picked him up. I will definitely reach out the Qing again.”
About: Hi! I'm a dog lover of all sizes. I'll run with your dog, teach them tricks (taught our former dog how to use the clicker and various commands), throw the ball with them, take them on walks and feed them. I'm located in PV by the PV reservoir so I'm always out and about in the neighborhood on runs, etc. I grew up with a Scottish Terrier and have watched German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Dashunds, Shiba Inu’s and other Terrier breeds. I've got many books on how to deal with various dog behaviors and it's taught me a lot over the years. Would love to help during the week or if you need someone to assist on the weekends too, that can be arranged. Hope to meet your pooch soon! I’ll be able to balance time as I’m at home most days of the week. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can typically make it work. I have a fenced yard and can take care of your pooch inside or outside. If your dog likes to run, I love running with em.
“My boy Bear made a new friend today! First time I've seen him this comfortable without me. Thank you so much... and your dog Penny is such a sweetheart too! Glad they got along 🙂”
“Courtnie was very accommodating for my two dogs. I needed someone for long term daycare multiple times per week, and I was having trouble finding someone I trust. She was very knowledgeable about dog behaviors, and how to make it a safe environment for all the pups. I felt safe leaving my dogs in her hands, as she seems very experienced. She is now my doggie day care provider, and I don't plan on changing! Her prices are very reasonable as well.”
“Sylvia was amazing! She kept me updated on my two dogs throughout their stay in her home and made sure they got plenty of playtime ! I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook !”
“Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!”
About: Hi! Thank you for stopping by my profile. One of our favorite family hobbies is caring for pets. Every furry guest becomes part of our little family while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I’d love to share a little about our home and why we truly enjoy taking care of pets. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From Golden Retrievers to Dachshunds and German Shepherds—and of course cats—these wonderful companions have always been around me. After moving from Europe to the United States, I found myself missing the presence of furry friends. While living in Washington, DC, I started dog walking and cat sitting, and I continued caring for pets while living in Virginia. Now we’re in San Pedro, and I’m excited to keep providing loving and reliable care for pets in our community. We’re family living in a safe, gated community near Cabrillo Beach. My son is a wonderful little helper and is often the pets’ favorite because he gives them lots of attention, playtime, and love—and he’s always happy to share his bed for extra cuddles. He especially enjoys playing fetch with dogs at the dog park just a 3-minute walk from our home. 🐾 Your pet will enjoy plenty of play sessions, walks around our sunny neighborhood 🌴, as well as indoor and garden playtime. We also have a small yard where pets can relax during the day while I’m home. I provide multiple walks throughout the day, along with cuddles, brushing, and lots of attention to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and preferences so I can make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱 I am very flexible. I am currently staying home with a flexible remote job. I can take care of your furry friend during weekdays and weekends with the same day notice. In both my home and my clients' homes, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I ensure all potential hazards are removed and prioritize the pet's well-being. At clients' homes, I establish trust with the pet, familiarize myself with their routine, and follow any specific instructions provided. Communication with pet owners is key, and I ensure adherence to dietary and medical requirements. Overall, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cared for, whether they're in my home or their own.
About: I am born the year of the dog. I love dogs. I have a deep connection and calmness with furry creatures. I love running, long hikes and cuddling with dogs. I have a large gated yard in a safe neighborhood. I live next to a wonderful nature preserve. I am very resourceful and on finding the best trails and parks near any client. I am very clean. I Always carry treats and bags for cleaning up. I have dog sat and walked for 20 years. Never have had a bad experience. My own Siberian husky passed away after 15 amazing years together. I have more steadily started dog walking and sitting to feel the void and have a exercise partner. I am a artist and producer
“Zahara was amazing with my dog! 🐾 She asked for details beforehand and even invited me to check out her place before the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. While I was away, she sent pictures and videos, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. She’s super friendly and really attentive to my dog’s needs. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“¡Perla estamos tan felices y agradecidos de encontrarte, que realmente sentimos el amor y la dedicación que le das a nuestro bebé Dalí! Muchas gracias, estamos seguro de que Dalí te extrañara a ti y todos su nuevos amigitos ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I could remember growing up. Now I own two yellow labs. One full breed and other yellow lab/Great Pyrenees. I take my two dogs on walks both in the morning & evening. I work remotely and back in school. Therefore I have pretty open availability.. Whether I am taking the dogs on a walk, or watching over them in my home, or a clients’ home. I will treat them with the upmost respect, warmth and love. Both of my dogs adore me because I adore them so much.
About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛

About: I have taken care of dogs for 8 years now personally for friends, family and myself! I have a chihuahua/ shitzu mix who is 6 years old that I have raised since 7 weeks old and he is the best. I am currently a stay at home mom/wife ..so I will have plenty time to give needed attention to the doggies and nice play time as well. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, have potty breaks and enjoy the outdoors. My apartment community also has a dog park, plenty of grassy areas, and a walking trail, providing lots of opportunities for exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and exploration. I make sure every dog gets the activity, attention, and care they need while staying in a safe, comfortable environment.

It is all about building trust with both dogs and cats. I will take the time to get to know your pets and win their hearts and minds!
“Thank you Shelbie for being so understanding when it comes to senior dogs. She walked my 3 pups with different needs with no problems at all. Will use again!😃”

“Kyle is our regular walker and doing a fantastic job with Bene who is not always the easiest with new humans :) Kyle is super nice and gets along great with Bene, always punctual and a great communicator, takes his job very seriously - would highly recommend him!”
About: I've been a cat and dog owner my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. I have experience with cats (including kittens and seniors), dogs (including puppies and seniors), rodents, and a little experience with ferrets. I try to adapt to your pet's mood and "social" preference, so I can be calm and comforting or high-energy as needed. I travel frequently as a freelance sailor and photographer, but when I am here in San Pedro, my schedule is wide open. Because pet-sitting is my only occupation when I'm in town, I'm able to make your pets my priority with zero corporate distractions. I am available anytime from 9am to 5pm for consistent daily midday walks, flexible check-ins, and short-notice bookings. Since I live right here locally and have my own reliable vehicle, I can adapt to your pet's routine seamlessly. I try to keep to your pet's routine and your standard of care-giving as much as possible. Every animal has a unique personality, and I completely adapt my style to match exactly what they need on any given day. If you have a high-energy puppy who needs a brisk, fast-paced walk around town to burn off steam, I am ready to move. If your pet is older, shy, or prefers gentle companionship, I am more than happy to focus on slow sniffs, belly rubs, and quiet cuddles. I treat your home with total respect, leave everything exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed updates and photos after every single visit.

Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛
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. :)
About: I have taken care of dogs professionally for 10 years and unofficially for most of my life. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. It is therapeutic for me and the dogs to have time together in a symbiotic relationship. I can handle 2 dogs at a time regardless of their size or weight. I enjoy spending time with animals. I work mostly evenings at my other job so morning or afternoons are generally better. However evenings do sometimes work.. I play with dogs and cats with toys. Also, I give them a lot of love and attention. I enjoy cuddling and petting animals regularly.
About: I have loved animals my whole life what sets me apart from other is I treat any animals like it’s my own, I have empathy on how they feel and just how I want others to treat my pets with love and compassion I’ll do the same in return with my experience and love I have for our animals.

“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”
About: We live in a very dog friendly and safe neighborhood. I’m experienced in taking care of special needs dogs as well as non-special needs. If your pup is on a special diet, I have no problem weighing food. As well as administer any meds. I’m currently available to play, walk and take care of your pup. I can take your pup out to go potty every 2-4 hours. Taking care of pups needs is my first priority. I do ask that your dog(s) and cat(s) be current on flea medication and their vaccinations, just to safe as we go for walks around the neighborhood and/or parks.
About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now a mama to a baby boy! SAHM since I am EBF, so all support helps my family. I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.

With a lifetime of experience in pet-sitting, house-sitting, and loving dogs like my own, I truly get animals on a deep level.

I am a full-time pet caregiver with open availability, allowing me to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I have years of experience caring for animals and have been around pets my entire life. I offer walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, and boarding. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means active outings, structured routines, or gentle companionship.

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

“Armando was great! My senior dog has separation anxiety and epilepsy. Some sitters don't know how to help him get comfortable during his stay but him, his wife, and Buddah made my pup feel at home.”
“I cannot express enough how truly wonderful Ashley was with our fur baby. She was genuinely concerned and gave him the very best of care and attention - even making him a home-made bandage for a cut on his tail and taking him on mile-long walks. Our Charley was best buddies with her fur baby, Gus. She continuously checked-in and sent pics while we were away. We were totally at ease the entire time which was priceless. Thank you so much Ashley and family. I would give you 100 stars if I could.”
“Great sitter. They follow all the instructions, making sure my dog was safe and well taking care of. My doggy enjoy staying at Quing. Will ask in the future to take care of my doggy again.”
“Ziya took wonderful care of our dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We’re very grateful for her care and attention, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter!”
“Koji had the best time! He can be pretty energetic, but Katie handled him so well and gave him so much love. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. So grateful and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Nala loves her Perla! She is very responsible and monitors her closely, giving us detailed reports. She manages the schedule well in advance, so I feel very comfortable leaving my baby in her care!”
“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!”
“I’d give 100 stars ✨ if I could! Elaine is amazing! Falkor and she because besties almost immediately, which put mine and my husband’s minds at ease. It’s never easy leaving our fur baby, he is our child! But never was there a doubt in our decision to leave him with Elaine! She is so kind and is definitely an animal person, like us! I hope she never moves because she will forever be our go to for Falkor!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my 2 dogs! They asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet which shows they really care and take their job seriously. They sent pictures and updates every day. They have plenty of space for the dogs to play and run around. I will definitely contact them again.”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
“Maria was so amazing! Our dog is usually picky about people and doesn't like being away from us very much but looking at all the pictures Maria sent us while we were away, he had a great time. She took him on multiple walks and dog park visits throughout each day. I will definitely going to be rebooking with Maria.”
“Brian was amazing, patient and so communicative throughout Rocky and Stu’s stay. He went above and beyond - not only did he bathe both dogs after noticing that they were scratching a lot, but Brian also braved bringing stubborn, old-man Stu to the dog park (which is no easy feat), but in just one weekend, Stu is now exponentially better when passing other dogs on walks. We will definitely be rebooking. Thanks, Brian!”
“Katherine was so great! She took Frankie on short notice and gave her tons of love. She updated me with photos and messages about how Frankie was doing. I will definitely be using Katherine again.”
“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!”
“Upon arrival I instantly felt comfortable leaving Louis with Gina! She was very welcoming, friendly & such a positive vibe! She instantly took a liking to my little guy & I knew they would hit it off & he would be well taken care of. She kept me updated throughout his stay & sent lovely pics. I was confident Louis was in good hands! Gina is very accommodating as I needed to extend my time last minute and I am grateful for her flexibility. Definitely will be using her again!!”
“I’ve been so worried about finding a sitter who will be as patient with my baby as I am and I definitely found that with Laura! I felt so at ease knowing that he was in her care because she treats every pup like royalty 🩵👑”
“Qi was so nice to let us do a quick meet up before I had my dog stay with her! We got to see the house and my dog got to meet her and get used to everything which was so helpful. Qi provided lots of pictures and was easy to get in touch with if needed!”
