“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.
“Shardae was amazing! Prior to Onyx's stay with her, we met to introduce ourselves and ensure a good fit. It was a great meeting, and a week later Onyx was in her care. She was incredibly communicative, sending pictures and updates at least twice a day. I had absolutely no worries while Onyx was with her. I highly recommend Shardae!”
“Christy and her family were so great and welcoming to our pup. He was loved, well cared for, and so happy when we picked him up that we knew he was in the perfect place. We feel lucky to have found Christy’s home and have no doubt we will use her again.”
“Kimberlee is amazing! She took such great care of our pup and sent daily check-ins and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We have a very high energy Aussie, and somehow she managed to tire her out, which is no easy feat! It was clear our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kimberlee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“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.”
“Bear had such a wonderful time with Vanessa and her family! She took such good care of him and sent lots of photos along the way. Can’t recommend Vanessa enough and will definitely be returning 💕”
“Angela is wonderful with our pets. We call her The Dog Whisperer. 😃 She's amazing with our Toffee Doggie and with the drop ins for our kitties. If you want your pet to be loved while you're away look no further. She's the absolute best! Reggie”
About: My approach with any animal is to use positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. I grew up with dogs, cats and various other animals. I was heavily into 4-H and adopted a wild burro, raised pigs and joined the dog training group with my shelter dog, a German Shepard Samoyed mix. Currently, we have two rescue dogs. Whenever we host our neighbor's dog, all the dogs have a blast and act like they are having a sleepover. In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience with a diabetic cat that required two daily shots. My husband and I work from home so there is always someone around. We take the dogs out for frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also live near Valley Park and the green belt which are perfect for longer walks. In addition to my husband, I have two teenage sons who will also be here to play with your pup. We currently have two welcoming adopted dogs, Koko, who is the older wiser pup bringing calm energy, and Mango, who very lovable and wants to be friends with every human and dog. At our condo, the dogs have access to two decks in the back, perfect for quiet naps in the sun, and one deck in the front overlooking all the action that passes by on the street. If your pup likes to play tug-of-war, Mango will happily play and share her toys.
“Deeann was a great dogsitter. I had the chance to meet her before dropping off my dog and instantly knew he would be in good hands. She sent photos everyday and took my dog walking / to the park several times a day giving him plenty of exercise. Thank you Deeann!”
“Jen was a good choice for us to leave our little dog Pilot with. She kepted a good watch over him, sent us lots of pictures and he looked happy. Thank you for taking good care of Pilot.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caregiver to dogs for over 50 years. I am a nurturing and responsible person. I have experience with senior dog care as well as puppy care. I am a very active person who loves to walk and play with your furry friend. I’m a retired mother of 3 and have a very active lifestyle. I am flexible and available throughout the week. I also live close to LAX for easy drop off and pick ups. I am a nurturing and responsible person and I would love to walk and play with your pet. I have a home with a fenced in yard. I have room for them to play and be active. I also have space to your crate dog and always keep them safe. I am walking distance to many parks.
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
“We are so grateful to have found Jeanne to care for our dog, Luglio. From the very beginning, she was warm, responsive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease while we were away, sending regular updates and the sweetest photos that showed just how happy and relaxed Luglio was in her care. Jeanne went above and beyond to make sure Luglio felt at home, giving him plenty of love, walks, and attention. It was obvious she treated him like one of her own. He came back to us happy, calm, and well cared for—exactly what every dog parent hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jeanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving dog sitter!”
“She and her family was super nice and good care to my dog. She sent Text messages everyday what my pup done today. That helped a lot for my family to understanding she was enjoyed and staying safely.”
“Noreen was such a fantastic Rover! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my dog. She sent me lots of photos and updates and I could tell my dog, Saucey, was having a great time and very happy. I'll definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”

“I would recommend Mars to anyone looking for quality cat care. They followed the care instructions completely and provided great updates during each visit. No complaints! My new preferred cat sitter.”
“Jordan is truly the BEST! She went above and beyond with my cat and even cleaned up around the litter box without being asked! She sent great updates with lots of details, photos, and videos which is huge for me! Highly recommend booking with her!”
About: When it comes to pets, I especially love cats—no offense to dogs, of course, I still adore them too! 😂 Cats have always been my comfort animals. Even though they can sometimes be sassy or have a little attitude, playing with them or simply spending time with my fur babies is one of my favorite pastimes. Back home in Hawaii, my household has six Sphynx cats, all with their own unique personalities, and every one of them is adorable. I love watching them play, hanging out with them, and honestly, just watching them be cats! Having so many cats around has made me very comfortable caring for and spending time with them. Hopefully, you can trust me to give your feline friend the same care and attention I give my own!
“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!”
About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.
About: I’ve taken care of cats my entire life. They love reliability, consistency and affection - All are qualities I can provide in plenty. Talk sweet and give them treats is a motto I live by! I can administer medications and care for special needs cats as well.
“Sydney was awesome with our 7-month-old kitten for twice daily hour-long visits while we were away for a few days! We had a nice meet and greet before booking and felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She is very communicative and easy to connect with, she shared great updates with every visit and lots of great pictures and videos of our cat playing ☺️ We’d highly recommend her for catsitting!!!”
“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: 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.
About: I’m a complete dog lover and experienced dog walker, growing up I was surrounded by my friends dogs, and cats. Ive always had a special bond and love for dogs, never had the chance to raise one full time but I have all the experience needed to provide the upmost care and love for all dogs shapes and sizes. I treat all pets as my own and I will make sure to keep you updated and provide photos during my service. I am available for daily walk, drop in and house sitting. I would love to take care of your dogs 😊 I work from home so I have a flexible schedule which leaves me room to go on dog walks at the park or around the neighborhood. On the weekends I am available. I’ve taken care of a rescue cat for about 4 years now, I want my fur baby to feel safe and loved and that’s how I would treat all pets.

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.

“Carmen was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took great care of my dog and I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Carmen again!”
“Melinda is the best. My pup is always so happy and well-taken care of any time he stays with her. She is flexible, follows instructions, sends photos, and it’s very clear that taking good care of my pup is important to her”
About: I’ve been lucky enough to grow up with dogs my whole life. Whether it’s being around my own or asking my neighbors if I can walk theirs, I can’t get enough of them. I know how important dogs are to their owners, but I also know that life can get in the way and we can’t always give them the undivided attention they deserve. That’s why I’m here to help! I currently work a job that allows me to be pretty flexible with the hours I can care for your dog. While sometimes things come up, I can usually be accommodating to your schedule! I’m very clean and intend to leave every home better than I found it. Just like we aim to live in a safe environment, our dogs deserve the same.
“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.”
About: I only take one family’s dog (or dogs) at a time — never a mixed group, never a crowded house. That’s a deliberate choice, not a limitation: it means your pet gets my full attention the entire visit or stay, in a calm, low-stress environment instead of competing for space and attention with other people’s animals. It’s why my rates run higher than sitters who take multiple families at once — you’re booking exclusive care, not a spot in a group. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt to what actually makes them comfortable — not a one-size-fits-all routine. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who need extra patience. You’ll get regular photo updates and clear communication throughout. My goal is simple: you enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved — with no one else’s pet in the picture. My flexible schedule lets me provide attentive care throughout the day, not just quick in-and-out visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I tailor my availability to fit their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog — or one family’s dogs — at a time, so every guest gets personalized attention in a calm, uncrowded home environment. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine: feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting, I 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’d want for my own, and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.
“Lara is amazing!! She took our puppy for the afternoon and evening…and took such good care of her. She gave her a bath, clipped her nails, took her out to the parks and let her rest peacefully at home. She was such a great care taker and I loved getting pictures throughout the day of my happy puppy! Highly recommend 👍”
“Mindy is so sweet and attentive to our baby Raptor. She is always open to suggestions and answers any concerns we have. Mindy pays attention to our wants/needs and Raptor always has a great time with her.”
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.
“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’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for family, friends, neighbors, and pet owners who need someone they can trust while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog is staying with me for daycare or boarding, needs a walk, or just needs someone to check in while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I also send regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding, and overnight stays throughout the week and on weekends. I can usually accommodate morning, midday, and evening care depending on what your dog is used to. I know dogs do best with consistency, so I’ll stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I treat every dog like I’d want someone to treat my own. I pay attention to their personality, energy level, and routine so they can feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m coming to you, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and anything else they need. I keep a close eye on them, make safety a priority, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re doing well.
“Absolutely amazing. She was so good with my husky girl. Nala was exhausted when I picked her up. Which is rare for a husky haha. Will be booking again weekly if possible”
“Helen took great care of my dog Newton! She had plenty of toys for him to choose and even took him on a trip to a farm! She sent frequent video updates of my dog’s fun visit!”
“Honey and I are looking forward to the next time she gets to play and hang with Renee and family. I loved getting photo and video updates and she genuinely seemed sad to leave at the end of her visit. I felt super comfortable and assured she would be taken care of when I dropped her off, as if I was dropping her off at a friends house for the day! Honey will definitely be a regular at Renee’s house :-)”

“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.”

“We absolutely love Jordan! She has been wonderful with our dog and has quickly become someone we trust. She’s incredibly reliable, always communicates with us, and, most importantly, is so sweet and loving with our pup. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Our dog is always so happy to see her, which says everything. Knowing she’s with Jordan gives us peace of mind. We feel very lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I have always loved pets and have been dog-sitting since high school. I've watched dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and activity levels. Breeds have ranged from Yorkies, Aussiedoodles, Border Collies, Vizlas, Airedales, and between. I have watched high-energy dogs and puppies as young as 4 months old and have experience watching dogs as old as 14 with arthritis/epilepsy. I have been through an off-leash training certification program as well as leash reactivity training. Whenever I have free time, I like to go on walks and would love a companion. I live near The Strand and Greenbelt, giving your pet a range of places to be walked. I love catching the sunset on the strand after work or walking to coffee along the greenbelt on weekends. I take long walks but will accommodate the needed activity level of your pet. Many of my friends have pets, so we scope out pet-friendly spots on the weekends so their fur babies can join in on the fun. I live with two other female roommates who are pet lovers. We have a fenced-in patio and are a short walk away from the parks/walking trails. In my home, a pet can sleep wherever they are most comfortable. I am well-versed in enrichment activities for dog breeds that need them. I have experience administering medication and special food diets. I am very responsible, and always ensure the home is secured (doors locked, windows shut, garage closed). I have a car and a clean driving record, in case your pet needs to be taken to urgent care.
“Brooke has been incredibly consistent/punctual. My pup is always excited when Brooke comes over and is always exhausted after her walks. I absolutely would recommend for anybody that needs help!”
“Gabriella is an excellent dog walker for my 2 fur babies! She is very gentle and caring with them and they love her for it! I highly recommend her for all types of dog care needs!”
About: Hi! I will be moving to the Manhattan Beach area in September and can’t wait to explore the neighborhood! I have taken care of dogs for most of my life whether I am playing with my own puppy or pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am currently working full-time, however I work from home so I am flexible and can likely accommodate last minute schedules. Generally, I am available before 8:30am and after 5:30pm. I have a very high energy golden doodle at home. This means that walks are full of adventure and require high attention since he wants to say hello to every other dog and person in the neighborhood. Safety for your pets is incredibly important to me and I will treat your pets as I would my own!

“Lillian did a great job with my weird red headed pup balu! He can be skittish of strangers, esp folks who may not be confident around dogs- and after a meet and greet I was very excited for lillian to take the reigns with balu. He is excited to have her back on a regular basis!”

About: As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who truly loves and respects pets, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit for. I make sure your pet not only receives proper care but also feels like a part of the family while you’re away. Having two cats with unique needs, I am experienced in administering medications, whether it’s oral medication, topical treatments, or even injections if necessary. I know how to make these processes as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner. My patience and knowledge in this area allow me to confidently care for pets with medical needs. I am deeply committed to maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for your pets. They can be very particular about their space, and I take pride in ensuring they have a clean, safe area to call their own. I am currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your babies! I am available most of the time, whenever it works for you! I keep your pet’s living area clean and comfortable, making sure their food and water bowls are regularly filled. If your pet requires medication or has special needs, I handle them with care and patience. I ensure that they get the mental and physical stimulation they need. I know how important it is to stay connected with your pets while you're away. I provide regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your pets are doing and rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. While caring for your pets, I respect your home and privacy. I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide and maintain a tidy, safe environment. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in mail, or simply following your house rules, I aim to make everything as seamless as possible while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to a wide range of needs and situations. Whether it's training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle care for senior dog, I can handle various tasks with empathy and skill. My versatility allows me to personalize my approach based on the specific requirements of each pet and their owner. I have a keen understanding of behavioral cues and signals, which helps me establish trust and rapport quickly. Whether it's playtime, training sessions, or simply providing companionship, I ensure a tailored and attentive experience for every furry friend in my care. I am currently waiting to start school in August and have plenty of free time which I would love to spend it outdoors with a cute dog. Safety Protocols: I adhere to specific instructions regarding access, security systems, and emergency contacts. Trust and Communication: I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' routines, preferences, and any special needs. Environmental Awareness: I respect clients' homes by keeping them tidy, following waste disposal guidelines, and ensuring pets have a safe and enriching experience.
“Shay is simply the best! Not only do I have an extremely difficult and strong dog, I’m also a bit of a helicopter dog mom. I have a hard time trusting anyone with Bodhi, which I’m sure many of you can relate to, however I never once questioned Shay’s ability to take care of my baby. He had amazing communication, flexibility and sent me all of the updates. If you have a hard time trusting anyone with your dog OR need a strong person who can exhaust your dog, Shay is your guy!”
About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.

“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!”

About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.

“Shardae was amazing! Prior to Onyx's stay with her, we met to introduce ourselves and ensure a good fit. It was a great meeting, and a week later Onyx was in her care. She was incredibly communicative, sending pictures and updates at least twice a day. I had absolutely no worries while Onyx was with her. I highly recommend Shardae!”
“Christy and her family were so great and welcoming to our pup. He was loved, well cared for, and so happy when we picked him up that we knew he was in the perfect place. We feel lucky to have found Christy’s home and have no doubt we will use her again.”
“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.”
About: My approach with any animal is to use positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. I grew up with dogs, cats and various other animals. I was heavily into 4-H and adopted a wild burro, raised pigs and joined the dog training group with my shelter dog, a German Shepard Samoyed mix. Currently, we have two rescue dogs. Whenever we host our neighbor's dog, all the dogs have a blast and act like they are having a sleepover. In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience with a diabetic cat that required two daily shots. My husband and I work from home so there is always someone around. We take the dogs out for frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also live near Valley Park and the green belt which are perfect for longer walks. In addition to my husband, I have two teenage sons who will also be here to play with your pup. We currently have two welcoming adopted dogs, Koko, who is the older wiser pup bringing calm energy, and Mango, who very lovable and wants to be friends with every human and dog. At our condo, the dogs have access to two decks in the back, perfect for quiet naps in the sun, and one deck in the front overlooking all the action that passes by on the street. If your pup likes to play tug-of-war, Mango will happily play and share her toys.
“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”

“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!”
“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’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!”

“Andrew and Jessica were fun and loving caretakers of our little Prince, Beau, for a week this summer. They have a home full of toys for doggies, they only have multiple dogs if they have all been vetted and are friendly, and were very professional in all interactions. Definitely recommend this home for your friendly, social, loved dog.”
“Michelle was amazing with my dog, who had an amazing time. I will definitely trust Michelle again with my pup in the future. She made sure she had plenty of exercise and her dog and mine became quick friends.”
“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!”
