“Shardae provided exceptional care for our dog, Buddy. She was attentive, communicative, and kept us informed throughout his stay, including updates on his meals and overall well-being. She was professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. We truly appreciate the care she gave our pup and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Kyle was very communicative and responsive. We met up a day or so before our scheduled boarding and did a meet and greet. Our dogs got along well and made the drop off much easier and stress-free. Our dog came back happy and well cared for. We look forward to using Kyle again in the future.”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone other then family and I could not be happier with my choice of leaving him in Michelle's capable hands. She treated my dog as if he was a member of her family. She gave my dog lots of love and attention and ensure he got lots of walks which he loved. Snoopy broke a nail the day before I had to leave and Michelle graciously help take care of him e-collar and all. She provided his medication and followed all his care instructions. Michelle also allowed my puppy to sleep with her which was very comforting for my puppy who is used to sleeping with me. Michelle kids were also great with Snoopy (my dog) and I could tell in all the wonderful video updates that he was very happy. I definitely missed my puppy more then I thought and Michelle happily provided me additional videos and pictures which made my family's and my day seeing him so happy and well taken care of. Michelle is more then just a pet sitter, she genuinely loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs in her care feel comfortable and happy. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Jenny and her husband did amazing taking care of our Beaux!! We really enjoyed the updates and beautiful pics of our pup. I can tell she had a really great time that she even made sure to say bye before leaving. She even came home with a cute bandana 🥹 I would definitely let Beaux stay with them again. Thank you so much!!”
“Shane was amazing! He sent us lots of updates and pictures of Josie during her stay. He asked lots of questions before and during the sitting which made us feel very comfortable. Josie had so much fun playing with Shane and his dog too!”
“Our dog, Mars, really enjoyed his stay with Krissy. Krissy sent us photos throughout the day. She also took my dog to a nearby park every day. It was definitely one of Mars’ favorite vacations.”
About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. Born in Burlingame, California, I have lived in different parts of the United States, experiences that have shaped my adaptability, compassion, and appreciation for different communities and lifestyles. My journey with animals began at five years old in Macedonia, where I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs and developing a lifelong passion for protecting and advocating for animals. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Middle Tennessee State University and have over 1,000 hours of veterinary assistant experience. My scientific background, combined with hands-on clinical experience, allows me to provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care while recognizing subtle changes in behavior, comfort, and health. I recently completed an upper-level Animal Physiology course through UCLA Extension with a 4.0 GPA as I continue preparing for my goal of attending veterinary school. My education and veterinary experience allow me to provide a higher level of care, from maintaining daily routines and enrichment to supporting pets with medical considerations. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care that I would want for my own animals. I focus on personalized care, consistent communication, and creating a safe, comfortable experience for your pet while you are away. I would be honored to provide exceptional, reliable care for your companion. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I build my schedule around providing dependable, personalized care for every pet. Alongside pet sitting, I continue my education through UCLA and UCSD Extension as I prepare for veterinary school and volunteer with local veterinary clinics to further expand my experience. My goal is to provide exceptional care, consistent communication, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality and routine. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide personalized attention, enrichment, regular walks, playtime, and detailed photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My veterinary assistant experience also allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and provide attentive, knowledgeable care. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience where your pet feels loved and your family has complete peace of mind.
“Our 5 month old golden retriever, Maya, had the best time while staying with Mindy! It was Maya's first time away from us and Mindy shared daily updates and pictures with us so we could see how Maya was doing. We loved getting these updates!! When we picked Maya up, she was nice and tired from playing with some of the other dogs that stayed with her over the long weekend. Thank you Mindy!”
“Kimberlee was beyond amazing! This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and she really went above and beyond. My foster puppy Bubs is super high energy but Kim took it in stride. He came back so happy and tired, and I think better behaved than when I left. She picked him up and dropped him off because we live very close, which was so so helpful because he has a large crate, and while we we gone she even helped network him a ton to help find an adopter. Bubs had the best time, and I would trust Kim with any animal I ever have in the future! Thank you!”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“Chyna was amazing!! We needed a sitter for 4 nights (on a holiday weekend) at the very last minute and she was so accommodating! Made sure my dog got lots of outdoor time and sent lots of pictures and updates. She was very kind and professional.”
“Andrew & Jessica were great. I received pictures of Casey. Casey needs a little extra because she won't poop while on leash. Andrew was able to get her to relieve herself by day two. They really went the extra mile to accommodate Casey's needs, which was greatly appreciated because I'm a worrier and Casey appeared to be in confident hands. I rarely ever leave Casey behind. Andrew & Jess made the experience seamless. Thanks again! Stacy & Casey”
“Shay was great. He walked our dog multiple times a day and sent us pictures everyday. We were worried our dog would be sad when we left for vacation, but we could tell he had a lot of fun staying with Shay. Thanks!”

“Jordan did an amazing job doing 10 drop-in visits across 4 days for my dog Gus. Jordan came super prepared at the meet and greet visit and asked a lot of questions to understand Gus’ routine. My dog is part lab/cattle dog and has a bunch of quirks, and she made sure he was well taken care of. Jordan also did a great job when I booked her for a first time walk before my trip so Gus could get familiar with her. Providing picture updates on the walk. She provided great updates in each Rover card. Including photos, videos, and notes from each visit to share how Gus was doing. She even came back to check on him on 4th of July to ensure he was ok during fireworks. It’s my first time using Rover and Gus was in great hands. She made my trip worry-free. Would definitely book her again!”
“Mars is someone you can really rely on and trust to take care of your pets! Mars exceeds expectations on following care instructions and you can count on always getting amazing pictures of your babes. Mars is always first in mind when I’m in need of a pet sitter!”
About: In addition to having two cats, I have watched and cared for others’ for the past 4 years. I am proficient in administering medications including basic shots and oral medications. I love all furry pets and always love anyone reaching out if they have questions or requests!
“Gabriella was great with my kitten Millie! She was professional, followed all instructions, and took extra time to make sure Millie got plenty of love and attention while I was away at work. Highly recommend and will rebook!”
“Yiyu did a great job with our two cats. They got a lot of brushing and I could tell from photos that they were very comfortable with her, didn’t hide, and kept their regular routines. They got treats and brushing on their usual spots and windowsills right away. Thanks for everything!”
About: For over six years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels—whether it’s one loyal companion or a lively crew. I treat every pup with care, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Reliable, patient, and always ready for a walk (or many pets)! For fish - I’ve had a tank through my whole life (freshwater) and recently have had saltwater, taking a close eye on their needs and tank maintenance. 🐾🐠🐟 I currently work full-time on weekdays, but I’m available for morning and evening check-ins during the week. My weekends are fully open, so I’m happy to help however I can then! While I care for a saltwater tank full of marine life at home, I always make sure to dedicate plenty of focused time to meet—and go beyond—the needs of your furry companions. Every pet deserves attention, affection, and a little extra love while you’re away, and that’s exactly what I provide.
“Sydney is fantastic! She clearly cares about animals and took wonderful care of our cats! She even took the time to play with them to help them get comfortable with her and adjust to our absence. Sydeny also went above and beyond checking something for us that we forgot to do before leaving. As a bonus she also sends adorable pictures and videos while you're gone! Highly recommend Sydney!”
About: Well organized, tidy and communicative. I know leaving a family member behind can be daunting especially to a stranger. My goal is to reassure you that your fur baby is left with a friend. Whether it is frequent photos , videos or just a daily summary of activities of the day you will be left feeling at ease.
“Shay was amazing and had such great communication with me while being out of country in Colombia he provided such piece of mind that my baby was taken care of! Rocky enjoyed his time and I look forward to rebooking Shay!”
About: While I’m newer to professional cat sitting, I’ve spent a lot of time around friends’ cats and am very comfortable with their routines and personalities. I understand that cats need patience, calm energy, and respect for their space. I’m an art history professor and PhD student, so I’m very responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’m used to being trusted and following instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter care, playtime, or specific needs. I aim to create a calm, stress-free environment so your cat feels safe and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins. We even live right next to Bruces Beach Park so we can run around and play! Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll get real attention, affection, and a calm, comfortable place to hang while you’re away. I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!
“Becky was great with my kitten Millie! She was professional, followed all instructions, and took extra time to make sure Millie got plenty of love and attention while I was away at work. Highly recommend and will rebook!”
About: Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away. I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets! I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.

About: With over 15 years of experience, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I intentionally care for one family at a time, allowing me to give every pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. This means no crowded daycare atmosphere—just thoughtful, one-on-one care designed around your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and reassurance. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than just quick visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I can tailor my schedule to their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog (or one family of dogs) at a time so every guest receives personalized attention in a calm home environment. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible in the comfort of their own home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.
“Shane was awesome. Super pumped to see Rosie everyday and Rosie nearly yanked my arm off running to see him in the morning. I really feel like he treated our dog like his own. He sent updates and photos frequently. I felt very comfortable leaving her each day. He was flexible and helpful at drop off and pick up. We will hope to call on him again when needed.”
“Denise is AWESOME!! She took great care of my dog, took her on a walk and gave her a ton of belly rubs. My dog can be shy with hooman she meets for the first time, but she warmed up to Denise quite quickly. Would definitely recommend Denise - she is reliable, responsible and responsive. She knows dogs and you can trust her with your pup!”
“First time with Kyle; I have a very anxious Chihuahua mix & Kyle was very patient with her and gave her her own space until she became comfortable. I can tell he has plenty of experience dealing with this type of situation. Communication was easy and efficient with Kyle the entire time that I was at my function. I did check it quite often. Kyle was very responsive which I really appreciated because I was a little bit nervous seeing that my poor baby is very anxious.. We will see you again! Thank you.”
“Amazing experience! Easy drop off and pick up. The pups went with Mindy with no problem. They were happy and we were happy to be able to have our daughter’s birthday lunch at her favorite restaurant.”

“Claudia & Nicholas took such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Nico has a seizure disorder, and although it doesn’t happen often, he did have a few episodes while he was with them. They handled it with so much calm, care, and compassion, which meant the world to me. They are incredibly trustworthy, and I would absolutely have them watch Nico again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of pets - from cats, dogs, horses and more - since I was 6 years old! I grew up with a Portuguese Water Dog which is a very high energy breed and was the known neighborhood dog and cat sitter whenever anyone went out of town! I currently have a cat as well as a horse that I care for daily. I am familiar with administering oral meds, providing stimulating play time, and giving pets the love they deserve. I know how difficult it can be to trust another to take care of your special friend, and I pride myself in caring for others as I would my own - with much love, care and attention to detail. Please reach out with any questions - I look forward to meeting you! I work full time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule! I love to spend as much free time around four legged friends as I can. Safety is of the utmost importance in my care and I always think of the pets’ needs first no matter if we are at home, out on a walk, or at the park.
“Sophia was so incredible with my Frankie! She sent so many updates (which are always my favorite), and you can tell she really made sure Frankie had a fun day. Frankie didn’t want to leave, she loved Sophia!”
“Shay took great care of Olive! He listened to the special quirks and triggers she got, and our directions on how to handle them. Sent updates throughout the day with photos of her relaxing and out walking. She would love to come back again!”
“Renee took care of my Enzo last minute and I could tell he had a great time! Her kids played with him and walked him, when he got home he was so tired! Would definitely recommend Renee and trust that he’s in good hands here.”
“Neptune had a blast and was so excited to spend the day with Amanda’s Aussie, Floki!!! She shared pictures throughout the day showing me how much fun my lil dude was having.”
About: I grew up with lots of dogs, cats, horses etc in the English countryside! My dad was a farmer so I’ve always been around animals. I’m yet to get my own dog, but i’ve always looked after friends dogs when they go away or I’m always on hand if they need a walk in the daytime! I absolutely love dogs (and all animals), and cannot wait to get to know yours :) My work schedule is very flexible, I work part time and from home so my schedule can very much fit around looking after your dog! I live in a spacious 2 bed with a large balcony! My apartment is 1 minute walk from the strand where I can easily walk your furry friend whenever needed :)
About: Hi! I am Jackie, and I live close to Live Oak Park. I am home full time, and I am also one of the pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home meeting and a home inspection. My two Malteses, Abby and Oscar, and I are looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! Being retired, I have all the time in the world, plus all the love in the world, to direct at your dog. You couldn't have found a more loving, devoted sitter to watch your dog, whether for along-stay or short-stay. I pride myself in the care I put forth to my four-legged guests. Don't feel bad taking that trip you've always wanted to go on, leave your dog with me! I can watch all types of dogs; breed, size, only up to 30 pounds please, and age. I will be willing to watch bigger pals if they are polite and non-energetic. I'll even watch that puppy you just added to your pack. I am comfortable administering medication if your dog need such. Why I love dog sitting Dogs are my life! I have two furbabies but I have plenty of love to share with fur guests as well! I don't remember a time that I didn't have a connection with dogs. They are truly some of my best friends! About my yard My complex has plenty of room for me to walk your dog, and also have a small common area for your dog to run and play. My experience administering medication I have no problem giving your dog his medications as you tell me to. I am not, however, comfortable administering injections. I am retired and spend most of the time around the home. When am at home my main concern is making your fur babies content and happy. I live on a street that has many walking paths to venture out on. It depends strictly on the energy and stamina of your dogs. I'll do anything and try and make your dog happy.

Years of teaching and working in museums have trained me to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, qualities I bring directly into pet care. I’m calm, consistent, and genuinely love spending time with both dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Mondays and Fridays, and most weekends. On Tuesdays, I’m available until 1 pm; on Wednesdays, after 2 pm; and on Thursdays, until 3 pm.

About: I specialize in caring for calm, well-trained, highly independent pets while maintaining a clean, organized, and well-cared-for home. My goal is to follow your pet’s established routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. I’m a great fit for households with pets that are well-mannered, comfortable with their routines, and able to settle independently. I focus on maintaining the environment your pets are already familiar with, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout your absence. As a full-time traveling house sitter that has cared for 25+ homes, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days around each pet’s established feeding, exercise, play, and care routines while maintaining the home as if it were my own. Because this is my full time focus, I’m able to provide consistent attention, adapt to each household’s preferences, and ensure pets receive dependable care throughout my stay. House and pet sitting gives me the ability to experience new environments while maintaining structure and consistency in my daily life. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and presence of pets in the home. I like learning their personalities, how different animals and breeds interact with their environment, and what helps them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy play, interaction, and building a calm, steady presence with them during a sit. I provide structured, routine based care including feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and oral medication when it can be given with ease and cooperation. I value calm, stable home environments with clear instructions and consistent routines. I do best in well maintained, organized homes that are clutter free, odor free, clean, and with minimal excess pet hair buildup. I also appreciate the use of air purifiers when available. While I work remotely and am primarily at home, my work includes focused independent periods, and I check in on pets throughout the day as part of their routine care. A video call (Zoom or Google Meet) is required prior to confirming a sit to ensure a mutual fit for both home and pet care expectations. I appreciate homeowners who are familiar with my profile and come prepared with any questions as well. I am not a fit for: • Highly Velcro pets requiring constant proximity or attention • Aggressive behavior toward humans or other animals • Physical force based handling, training, or behavior modification responsibilities • Daily intensive mess cleanup or unmanaged accidents • Co-sleeping (pets must sleep independently in their own space outside the bedroom) • Frequent last minute changes, unclear schedules, or unstable routines I value clear communication, respectful, hospitable, and well structured sits.
“The first walk doesn’t always go great, especially when the owner provides the wrong entry code into the building, lol. But we worked through it and Marevie was very understanding!”
“Renee is awesome! We left her detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly. Our Cookie is a senior dog who requires patience during walks and Renee couldn't have been better with her. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins. We even live right next to Bruces Beach Park so we can run around and play! Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll get real attention, affection, and a calm, comfortable place to hang while you’re away. I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve spent the last four years house sitting and dog sitting for friends, family, and clients, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs adventure or a senior dog who needs gentle care, I always treat them like they’re my own. I love being active and outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. From walks and playtime to cuddles and belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day, so your pet will get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick check-ins. I’m also happy to stay overnight for house sitting, making sure your home stays safe and your pets feel comfortable in their own space.Whether we’re out for a walk, playing fetch, or just enjoying some quiet cuddle time, your pet will be in caring, capable hands while you’re away. At my home, I have a safe outdoor space where dogs can relax and play, and I’m happy to crate them if needed. I also love taking dogs for long walks, especially along the beach—perfect for pups who love fresh air and exercise.
About: With over 15 years of experience, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I intentionally care for one family at a time, allowing me to give every pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. This means no crowded daycare atmosphere—just thoughtful, one-on-one care designed around your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and reassurance. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved.

Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I can tailor my schedule to their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog (or one family of dogs) at a time so every guest receives personalized attention in a calm home environment. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible in the comfort of their own home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.

I’m available throughout the day and can be consistent and attentive to each pet’s needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level.

Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure they are well-fed, have fresh water, and are cared for throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and potty breaks, keeping them active and hydrated, and spending time playing with them, like throwing the ball or engaging in interactive play. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I always take time for cuddles and attention so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
About: Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away. I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets! I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.

“Shardae provided exceptional care for our dog, Buddy. She was attentive, communicative, and kept us informed throughout his stay, including updates on his meals and overall well-being. She was professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. We truly appreciate the care she gave our pup and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone other then family and I could not be happier with my choice of leaving him in Michelle's capable hands. She treated my dog as if he was a member of her family. She gave my dog lots of love and attention and ensure he got lots of walks which he loved. Snoopy broke a nail the day before I had to leave and Michelle graciously help take care of him e-collar and all. She provided his medication and followed all his care instructions. Michelle also allowed my puppy to sleep with her which was very comforting for my puppy who is used to sleeping with me. Michelle kids were also great with Snoopy (my dog) and I could tell in all the wonderful video updates that he was very happy. I definitely missed my puppy more then I thought and Michelle happily provided me additional videos and pictures which made my family's and my day seeing him so happy and well taken care of. Michelle is more then just a pet sitter, she genuinely loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs in her care feel comfortable and happy. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Shane was amazing! He sent us lots of updates and pictures of Josie during her stay. He asked lots of questions before and during the sitting which made us feel very comfortable. Josie had so much fun playing with Shane and his dog too!”
About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. Born in Burlingame, California, I have lived in different parts of the United States, experiences that have shaped my adaptability, compassion, and appreciation for different communities and lifestyles. My journey with animals began at five years old in Macedonia, where I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs and developing a lifelong passion for protecting and advocating for animals. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Middle Tennessee State University and have over 1,000 hours of veterinary assistant experience. My scientific background, combined with hands-on clinical experience, allows me to provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care while recognizing subtle changes in behavior, comfort, and health. I recently completed an upper-level Animal Physiology course through UCLA Extension with a 4.0 GPA as I continue preparing for my goal of attending veterinary school. My education and veterinary experience allow me to provide a higher level of care, from maintaining daily routines and enrichment to supporting pets with medical considerations. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care that I would want for my own animals. I focus on personalized care, consistent communication, and creating a safe, comfortable experience for your pet while you are away. I would be honored to provide exceptional, reliable care for your companion. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I build my schedule around providing dependable, personalized care for every pet. Alongside pet sitting, I continue my education through UCLA and UCSD Extension as I prepare for veterinary school and volunteer with local veterinary clinics to further expand my experience. My goal is to provide exceptional care, consistent communication, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality and routine. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide personalized attention, enrichment, regular walks, playtime, and detailed photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My veterinary assistant experience also allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and provide attentive, knowledgeable care. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience where your pet feels loved and your family has complete peace of mind.
“Our 5 month old golden retriever, Maya, had the best time while staying with Mindy! It was Maya's first time away from us and Mindy shared daily updates and pictures with us so we could see how Maya was doing. We loved getting these updates!! When we picked Maya up, she was nice and tired from playing with some of the other dogs that stayed with her over the long weekend. Thank you Mindy!”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“Chyna was amazing!! We needed a sitter for 4 nights (on a holiday weekend) at the very last minute and she was so accommodating! Made sure my dog got lots of outdoor time and sent lots of pictures and updates. She was very kind and professional.”
“Andrew & Jessica were great. I received pictures of Casey. Casey needs a little extra because she won't poop while on leash. Andrew was able to get her to relieve herself by day two. They really went the extra mile to accommodate Casey's needs, which was greatly appreciated because I'm a worrier and Casey appeared to be in confident hands. I rarely ever leave Casey behind. Andrew & Jess made the experience seamless. Thanks again! Stacy & Casey”
“Shay was great. He walked our dog multiple times a day and sent us pictures everyday. We were worried our dog would be sad when we left for vacation, but we could tell he had a lot of fun staying with Shay. Thanks!”
“Candice was absolutely amazing with my pup Luca! He came home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little bummed to leave. She sent the sweetest updates and clearly treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter!”
“Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!”
About: I grew up with lots of dogs, cats, horses etc in the English countryside! My dad was a farmer so I’ve always been around animals. I’m yet to get my own dog, but i’ve always looked after friends dogs when they go away or I’m always on hand if they need a walk in the daytime! I absolutely love dogs (and all animals), and cannot wait to get to know yours :) My work schedule is very flexible, I work part time and from home so my schedule can very much fit around looking after your dog! I live in a spacious 2 bed with a large balcony! My apartment is 1 minute walk from the strand where I can easily walk your furry friend whenever needed :)
“I had to book an urgent, last-minute flight and Bethany was available immediately to care for my dog with 12 hours notice. Her and her daughter were so sweet and Zelda seemed to have a great time. Bethany sent pics and updates while I was gone to keep my mind at ease. I will definitely book with Bethany again!”
“I can't say enough about Harley. She is the absolute best and went above and beyond to watch our Rhodesian Ridgeback for over a week. Incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and professional. We highly recommend Harley and her lovely Vizla Dixie :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Maddie! My dog Rooney absolutely loved spending time with her and her sweet dog Ralph. I received lots of photos and updates and her communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay. Rooney had daily walks and all of the love and attention. Highly recommend Maddie!!! Truly the best of the best.”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
