“It was my first time leaving Artie with someone new for an extended period, and Nadege and Camille were wonderful. I knew he was in good hands after meeting them, and I got pictures everyday showing how at-home he was with them. I’m thrilled to have found them and look forward to me next time ❤️.”
“Once again, Frida had a blast with Amorn and Adam. I can tell these two just have big hearts for dogs. Frida gets treated like the princess she so clearly thinks she is. I also love that she's getting to meet and play with other dogs. Thanks again for your time and care and the great pics and communication. Will see you next time.”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Sean was amazing with Theo while we were away for the week. He’s so caring, sent lots of great photos, and even brought him swimming (Theo’s favorite!) and bathed him after! Thank you for caring for our little guy - he can be difficult the first time somewhere new and you were incredible. 🙌🏼”
“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Ashton is a five-star dog sitter. My family friend cancelled at the last minute for a weekend trip. Ashton responded promptly to my request. She agreed to a friendly outdoor meet up. While I was nervous about the idea of leaving my pup behind, Ashton eased my worries by asking all the right questions. She made sure to learn my dog’s routine and habits. She sent me daily updates including pictures and was responsive to any questions or update requests while I was gone. When I picked up Ollie, I could tell my pup enjoyed his stay with Ashton. I would 10/10 recommend her services and definitely will be using her for any future sitting needs.”
“Heaven was such a friendly and openly caring sitter since the first booking exchange. She was willing to accommodate my little boy last minute and was very attentive, communicative and caring of Charly since the initial booking process, to the stay to the very last second of pick up. Your fur babies will be in trusting-caring hands with Heaven”
“Nicole was great with Frankie! Frankie was recovering from kennel cough when she stayed with Nicole and she was great about keeping me updated and giving Frankie her medication. Punctual, easy to communicate with, and Frankie was happy and exhausted when I picked her up!”
“Thank you again for taking such great care of Louie while we were out of town. We loved the daily pictures and enjoyed seeing Louie walking and playing with the other dogs (he loves to play!!). We’ll be back for sure!”
“They did an amazing job watching over my Pomeranian. Very responsive and sent plenty of pics and video updates. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable sitters!”
“Stacey took great care of Saja! Upon meeting Stacey, it was clear that she was nice, professional, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible for our little guy (which she did!). Great with communication and sent photos every morning. Will certainly book again!”
“We’ve used James a few times and he’s always great to work with! He sends daily updates, responds quickly and is easygoing. We’re happy to have someone we can trust to watch our dog. We recommend him and will continue to use his services so long as he’s willing.”
“Our dog stayed here over Christmas and had such a wonderful time! He loved playing with their dog and the other doggie guests and came home happy, tired, and relaxed. We really appreciated the photos and updates and could tell he was treated like part of the family. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him, we will absolutely book again!”
“I would give a ten star review if I could. Fantastic family, so caring and compassionate towards animals, especially my old dog, Lady. She has never been left with a sitter before. When I checked around too many places offered to keep her in a crate but she has never been crated before so we did not want that. With this family she had the run of the house and yard and slept on their bed at night which she does at home. My only fear was that at the end of her stay she would not want to leave. But she was glad to come home and during my trip I had peace of mind and no worries that she was in good hands. Highly recommend this family to take care of your dog. I will when I travel again!”
“Alina was an incredible sitter for my dog moose! he stayed with her over the july 4th holiday- moose is a rescue with some special needs, including fear of fireworks and other dogs. Alina treated moose with care and compassion, and she gave me honest updates if moose was struggling (without me needing to ask). it is such a relief to have found someone who seriously cares about moose and will go the extra mile to make sure he is cared for and that I know how he is doing!! I will definitely be hiring Alina again, and would recommend her to any dog owner, especially those who might need a little extra support.”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Natasha was great! Her and her family kept me updated about Cowboy throughout each day I was gone and sent photos. Cowboy had fun and was a happy dog when I picked him up.”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: My first experience with cats was discovering 6 kittens under my home when I was 7! Since then I have been fortunate enough to always be around to care for kittens and cats who need homes. I currently have 2 female cats both foster fails. I have cat sat for numerous friends and family members who have pets with diverse personalities. I have experience with very timid cats, and very social talkative ones. I am comfortable being around cats with all types of behaviors and am not intimidated by the fur babies who just need a bit more time and patience to get comfortable!
“Our second time with Jenny caring for our three cats! Our cats absolutely love her. Everything was smooth including timing of check-ins, message updates, responsiveness, and ensuring our home is secured when she finishes the check-ins. Thank you so much as always, Jenny!”
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”

Attention to detail to each personality and each accommodation and needs while providing the best care while making safety top priority I’m currently working part-time and pet sitting is something that I love and thrive to do I always believe that you must love what you do in order to provide the best outcome I have a secure fence and lots of room for playtime my home is a loving welcoming home well secured for all pets enough room for play and rest
“Yoo Jee is awesome. I’m def a helicopter cat parent and my trio can be a handful. Yoo Jee was great with the kitties and keeping the house clean and safe. Much appreciated and def will ask her to come again :)”
About: I have extensive pet sitting experience and come from a family of animal lovers—we were always the go-to pet sitters, even when we didn’t have pets of our own. I genuinely love dogs (yes, I’m the guy who always asks to pet your dog). I’m based in Van Nuys and currently building my Rover profile as a part-time sitter. At the moment, I’m traveling by walking, which means I focus on nearby clients and reliable, on-time care. I take responsibility seriously and treat every pet like they’re my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Monday–Friday: late afternoon to late evening. Flexible and open to other times as needed, including late-night care. Let me know a week in advance if you need weekend care. On vacation July 13-31 I care for pets in my client’s home by following their instructions closely and making sure I respect their routines, rules, and preferences. I understand that every pet and household is different, so I take the time to learn what each animal is used to—feeding schedules, walking routes, behavior guidelines, and any special care needs.
“Jackie has looked in on my dog and cat a couple times now when my family is away, and I have full confidence in her. She's reliable, considerate and a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She’s super responsive, is caring and affectionate towards pets, and will make sure to leave detailed information for each fur baby during every visit. Will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Very sweet, came and did a meeting greet and after that had no issues remembering the instructions! Was very sweet with our girl, gave great pictures and was very responsive! Would book again!”
About: I have 7 cats of my own and have grown up around cats my entire life. I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from newborn kittens to senior cats. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable handling a variety of personalities and needs, including cats with anxiety, shy or traumatized cats, and cats who need extra patience to feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for pregnant cats and helping monitor their well-being. What sets me apart is that I truly understand cat behavior and know that every cat is different. I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐱❤️
“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”
“Kim is the best!! She is communicative, reliable and offered me the most reassurance about my kitties when a few things didn’t quite go to plan while I was gone. Thank you Kim!!”
“Kathryn took great care of my cat Fancy while we were away for a few days. Lots of photo updates and written descriptions of her visits! Kathryn was a huge help and I will definetely rebook into the future.”
“It usually takes time for my indoor cat to warm up to a stranger. But she approached Itzel when she saw her standing in the kitchen. I also appreciated her keeping me posted while I was gone. Her gentleness with the indoor cat helped me to feel more relaxed about being away. Itzel was reliable, and I appreciated the service she provided.”
“Tiffany was wonderful! We left our cat with her for 3 weeks and she took great care of him. This is the first time we've had to leave him for this long, but she made it easy for us to feel more comfortable about the experience. She and our cat got along really well, she was super responsive, and she sent us tons of photos and videos. She was also really attentive to him and his likes and dislikes -- when she noticed that he was interested in some boiled chicken that she was feeding to her dogs, she made sure to ask us if that was something he typically liked and was allowed to eat. Additionally, she was very accommodating of his habits. She bought him a cat cave in case he wanted to hide away (he loved it), and when he decided that his favorite place to be in her apartment was right on top of her pillow, she rolled with it which was very sweet. All in all, she was a great cat sitter, and we'd definitely recommend her to others in need of someone to take care of their cat!”

“Victoria took a last minute booking and was able to allow for a late evening pickup too, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated throughout the day and even sent a picture of him sprawled out and living the life on their couch. I’m sure my dog would love hanging out again in the future!”
“Ellie is so excited to go to daycare and comes home tired and happy - she loves going to Chan’s and playing fetch all day! Chan sends lots of photos and takes amazing care of Ellie.”
“We had a great experience with Sarah. Easy and flexible pick up and drop off, and she had a great space for Ansel. Ansel could relax and nap much of the day after stressful travel the previous day. We recommend Sarah.”
“Renata took such great care of my dog Ryan. She sent pictures and was so accommodating with my long day! I needed 2 extra hours and Renata did not mind at all. Thank you very much.”
“Natasha took such great care of my pup and sent a ton of videos/photos during the day. She was very communicative leading up to the stay and throughout the visit. I will definitely be using her again to look after my dog!”
“We needed day care for a couple of days during a trip from the Bay Area to Southern California, and I’m so happy I found Amorn and Adam to look after our senior toy poodle, Jubilee. During her stay, they sent lots of photos on her progress and interactions with other dogs, helping to give me peace of mind that all was fine. They demonstrated such kindness and understanding towards our little one, who shakes nervously in unfamiliar environments. They adapted to her shy-ish ways, let her be and gave her a comfy blanket on which to sit or lie. As quickly as the second day when handing her to Adam, Jubilee didn’t even shake, she was actually quite calm, and that was amazing. I am 110% pleased with their services. Thank you so much Amorn and Adam!”
“My dog had so much fun with Cassie! She was communicative and sent me photos and updates. She was patient with my dog despite her initial shyness. Highly recommend!”
“Piper is a doggy daycare regular with Jennifer! Jennifer handles her energy and need for attention so well. She sends us pictures and updates and communicates with us if there is anything we need to know. I always drop off an excited pup and pick her up happy and tired. Just what we need!”
About: If you're on this app, clearly you love your pet. You want to assure your pet is properly cared for and loved while you are not around. I have over 20 years of caring for my dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the West LA Animal Shelter. I have trained friends dogs and have tended to my 18 year old elderly dog since she was a puppy. I pitched on my baseball team and love to air out my arm with long games of fetch at the park as well as leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. I'm full time work from home - my routine is multiple daily walks with my 2 dogs. Park nearby is an oasis as well as sun drenched backyard lounging. Fenced yard where my two friendly dogs like to hang out, but they have the run of the house as where they like to sit in the front window and watch the street activity.
About: I have had pets through all of their years..I managed to train my two dogs, and they are now perfect citizens. I have one cat...I love her!!! I have a lot of time. I am self employed so I have no problem working your pet's needs into my schedule. Looking forward to being part of your pet's life! I live in a house with a huge fenced back yard. I have an older dog who accepts all animals I have a cat who is friendly with both dogs and cats
“Michelle has such a welcoming personality. Her family made me feel at ease with leaving YoYo. I didn’t have any concerns. She sent pictures & videos throughout the day. YoYo had a great time. Also, she was very accommodating with my late pick up time. I’ll definitely use her services again. Super thanks 😊”
“Soraya was amazing with our puppy, Noche. She took great care of him, kept him safe, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and treated him like he was her own. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave our little guy. We would absolutely book with Soraya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Noche!”
“This was Nami’s first time staying with Maria and she loved it. She seemed very happy afterwords! Nami tends to be a very anxious dog but Maria was patient and kind when watching her.”
About: Hi I’m a full time pet sitter. I have been petsitting for the past 8years. I have a lot of time to take the doggies out for walks multiple times a day. I also interact with them, by playing or doing basic commands with them. They are always allowed hop on the couch and join me to cuddle while watching a movie. It’s a cage free environment, unless you are training your baby or prefer for your pup to be in a cage certain times. They will feel right at home, in a comfort place where they are allowed to roam around freely and cuddle up on the couch or the human bed at night. We also reward them with extra belly rubs and delicious treats! I am a full time pet sitter. During the day I do have multiple walks I go out to. My partner Maggie is also home full time to care for the pups while I’m away. Dogs in my home have to be friendly with humans and other dogs. I am only taking small- medium size dogs. Unless I’ve cared for a more relax friendly bigger dog that I know won’t need much space.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
“My dog can be very stubborn and is quick to decide whether or not he likes you, but surprisingly Mason was a very happy dog with Jamie, he was well behaved and it seems like they had a blast! I highly recommend if your dog has trust issues, or is a nervous one to book with Jamie. I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had experience in taking care of different breed of dogs. I have a dog and cat of my own. I also worked in a grooming salon as a bather for 3 years. I have handled different personalities, breeds, and sizes. I am comfortable with interacting with furry friends. I accept boarding, and other services Available Monday-Sunday for dog and cat sitting. Services include boarding and drop-in visits. Stay-at-home mom offering flexible care options for your pets. Although I reside in an apartment, I can offer outdoor activities, such as taking them for a walk or visiting a dog park, depending on their comfort level. I own a cat and dog who are comfortable with other furry friends.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs most of my life with my family. I have experience with fostering puppies too. Currently I have one fur baby. I work from home full time so I’m flexible with your schedule. I like to go on walks about three times a day and walks usually take 20-30 minutes. I will be around to play and attend your dogs needs. I also have lots of dog beds that I have collected over the years to make dogs feel comfortable.
About: Not only growing up with and raised my kids around dogs of all breeds. Rockwilders, pitbulls, German Shepherds, hounds etc. While active duty Marine. My son's were raised by by Staffy pitbull Sampson. Not only getting myself out the house, the time will be therapeutic for myself and the dogs. We will be getting much needed sun and exercise. The dogs and owners home be cared as if I'm staying at my grandma's house and I was told to take her dog fee fee outside. Then have the kitchen cleaned before she finishes her nap to go play bingo with the other grandma's from New Orleans.

About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
About: I've loved and taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, rabbits, even a pet squirrel (lots of stories about Honey). Spending time with animals brings me such joy and I treat every pet with love and care as if they were my own. I currently have one dog at home (my sweet boy in my pics) that we've had 10 years and we had our precious girl for 8 before she passed last year. I also had my childhood dog for 15 years with an adorable underbite that made him look a lot tougher than he was. :) I'm comfortable taking care of senior and sick animals as well as giving medication. I took care of our sweet girl with cancer last year with oral meds, tube feeding, and IVs. Our other dog gets allergy shots that I administer at home and I've taken care of him through 2 back surgeries. I've used Rover many times over the years and found wonderful sitters for us when we needed them. Now I'm joining this side of it so I can return the favor and share some love and joy with your fluffy ones. I was working full time and unfortunately my industry has been dealing with consistent massive layoffs. Now I'm a stay at home mom, but have lots of flexibility since my husband works from home. When going to your place, I will be careful while opening the door to ensure no escape artists try to get out. I will treat your space with respect and make sure to leave things just as I found them. Most importantly, I will make sure to adhere to any instructions given for the visit.
“Jaime was absolutely awesome with Boosh, our Pit/Lab baby girl. He was able to pick her up and down the stairs to our complex. We had dog family over for a week and Jamie was able to accommodate walking them on short notice. Boosh loved seeing him and would bring him her ball a few times; seriously jelly about that. ?”
About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝

About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!
“Marie is reliable, caring, and great with my dog. Always on time and sends updates with photos. I feel totally at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Minerva is the most caring and loving dog walker! She takes her time walking Kobe and sends plenty of pictures and updates about his activities (pee, poo, etc.). She's very detailed, quick to respond, communicative, and incredibly friendly. You can tell she's an animal lover. Kobe has fallen in love with her in such a short time! Can't thank Minerva enough for everything she does for our Kobe!”

“Jessica is super-friendly, reliable, and always on-time!! She takes great care of our two pups, and you can clearly tell that she is an animal lover. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! We're Cecilia and Nicholas! 👋🏽 This account is run by both of us and between the two of us, we've got 13+ years of experience loving and taking care of dogs! We have spent a lot of time volunteering at shelters and fostering dogs (can provide references from the shelter staff) and have successfully helped in findings homes for many dogs at the shelter. You can check out some of the dog videos I've created on my TikTok, cicijasso. We both work from home, so we have a lot of flexibility to give your dog attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. We're comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny to big, and we have experience with reactive dogs too, since one of our own can be reactive. We understand what it takes to keep everyone safe and comfortable. A little bit about us and our dogs: Our first two dogs were Milli, a pitbull who lived a full and happy 15 years and Levi, a scrappy little rescue mutt from Texas who stole our hearts and unfortunately passed away too soon (~6 yrs) of cancer. Both were our whole world and we miss them every day! Since then, we've welcomed 2 new babes into our family. We have Sasha, a beautiful and sassy little pitbull, who we rescued from a DC shelter during our time there, and then Juno, a shy but loving German/Doberman mix, who we recently adopted during out time in Arkansas. As you can tell...we sort of love dogs and have a tendency of rescuing one wherever we go. Animals are truly our passion, not just a hobby. We'd love to help care for yours. My husband and I work from home full time and are able to step away from our computers to take them out for potty breaks every few hours. We’re flexible and able to work with any requirements your pet has for going out. For house sitting or drop-ins, we keep things as close to normal as possible: same feeding schedule, same walk times if there is one, and plenty of playtime or just hanging out so your dog isn't alone all day. We also handle meds, special diets, and any specific quirks your dog has, just let us know what they need. Because we've fostered so many dogs and volunteered at shelters, we're comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience: nervous dogs, reactive dogs, dogs still learning basic manners. We don't expect perfect behavior, we just want your dog to feel safe and cared for the whole time you're away.
“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”

“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Ashton is a five-star dog sitter. My family friend cancelled at the last minute for a weekend trip. Ashton responded promptly to my request. She agreed to a friendly outdoor meet up. While I was nervous about the idea of leaving my pup behind, Ashton eased my worries by asking all the right questions. She made sure to learn my dog’s routine and habits. She sent me daily updates including pictures and was responsive to any questions or update requests while I was gone. When I picked up Ollie, I could tell my pup enjoyed his stay with Ashton. I would 10/10 recommend her services and definitely will be using her for any future sitting needs.”
“Heaven was such a friendly and openly caring sitter since the first booking exchange. She was willing to accommodate my little boy last minute and was very attentive, communicative and caring of Charly since the initial booking process, to the stay to the very last second of pick up. Your fur babies will be in trusting-caring hands with Heaven”
“Nicole was great with Frankie! Frankie was recovering from kennel cough when she stayed with Nicole and she was great about keeping me updated and giving Frankie her medication. Punctual, easy to communicate with, and Frankie was happy and exhausted when I picked her up!”
“Thank you again for taking such great care of Louie while we were out of town. We loved the daily pictures and enjoyed seeing Louie walking and playing with the other dogs (he loves to play!!). We’ll be back for sure!”
“Stacey took great care of Saja! Upon meeting Stacey, it was clear that she was nice, professional, and dedicated to providing the best experience possible for our little guy (which she did!). Great with communication and sent photos every morning. Will certainly book again!”
“We’ve used James a few times and he’s always great to work with! He sends daily updates, responds quickly and is easygoing. We’re happy to have someone we can trust to watch our dog. We recommend him and will continue to use his services so long as he’s willing.”
“Alina was an incredible sitter for my dog moose! he stayed with her over the july 4th holiday- moose is a rescue with some special needs, including fear of fireworks and other dogs. Alina treated moose with care and compassion, and she gave me honest updates if moose was struggling (without me needing to ask). it is such a relief to have found someone who seriously cares about moose and will go the extra mile to make sure he is cared for and that I know how he is doing!! I will definitely be hiring Alina again, and would recommend her to any dog owner, especially those who might need a little extra support.”
“Our dogs stayed with Annabelle & Ben for one night as a trial before our longer, upcoming trip. Everything went really smoothly and we appreciated their communication with frequent updates and pictures on how they were doing.”
“Natasha was great! Her and her family kept me updated about Cowboy throughout each day I was gone and sent photos. Cowboy had fun and was a happy dog when I picked him up.”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Aimee went above and beyond to help me with my dog Kobe and made sure his stay was as comfortable as possible! She set up a meet and greet to ensure our dogs were a good match and gave me a tour of the space. She took great care of my dog even when he was scared by the 4th of July fireworks. On top of that she was willing to keep him for a bit extra when I ran into car troubles on my way back from my trip. I can’t put into words how thankful I am to Aimee and her husband for taking great care of my baby while I was away”
“Hasmik was great. I had never left my baby with anyone. She took such good care of him that he didn't even miss his mom and dad. He is our first (human or otherwise) so we were very nervous. She sent lots of photos and put my mind at ease. She will be my go to sitter.😊”
“Armando was very quick to respond and did a great job with our puppy Haku! We could tell Haku had a great time and was very calm and comfortable in Armando’s presence. Armando’s yard is also very well kept and spacious. We will definitely book again!”
“We just left our four year old pitbull with Lenny for three days and we couldn’t be happier! He sent so many wonderful pictures of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and relaxing in the big beautiful backyard and at home lazing on furniture. We will definitely be returning to Lenny many more times. It is just fantastic to know that we have someone we can trust, who is honest, responsible, loving, and at a reasonable and fair price. Thank you, Lenny!”
“A true savior! A true animal lover ❤️ We will for sure book again. Great pictures and updates. She made my hospital stay easier knowing that my baby Kloee was comfortable and safe. Thank u so much 💓”
“I highly recommend booking with Mandie S. We were staying in Burbank where pets were not welcome and I am so glad I was able to book at Mandie's. I knew Celeste and Rocky really enjoyed their stay because Mandie sent me videos of them wrestling in the morning, the way they always do at home. Celeste has allergies and Mandie knew just what to do because her Shit-Zu also has allergies. Mandi gave me a bag of special hypo-allergenic dog food to try at home to see if it will help Celeste as much as it helped her dog! Now that is going above and beyond what most sitters would do! Communication was prompt as was drop off and pick up.”
“We are so happy we found Candy to watch our dog, Roscoe while we were away on vacation. Roscoe is a bit picky when it comes to bigger dogs and strangers but Candy was able to handle it really well and after a couple of days, he was happily playing with the other dogs. Candy is also very easy to reach and will always respond to messages, which is a big plus =) ”
