“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Araceli was fantastic watching Roxy and Sushi! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how they were doing. Both pups clearly had the best time and came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”

Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Madelyn is great with my (normally anxious/nervous) pup! She is always very communicative and sends lots of photos. I’m very appreciative that my pup is comfortable/happy during her visits ♥️”
“I cannot recommend Mr. Vipulkumar highly enough as a dog sitter for my beloved Nina! From the moment I entrusted her to his care, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. Mr. Vipulkumar's home was incredibly welcoming, and he made sure Nina felt right at home too. He took the time to understand her personality, preferences, and routines, which made a world of difference. It was heartwarming to see how much he genuinely cared for her well-being. Throughout her stay, Mr. Vipulkumar kept me updated with regular videos and pictures. These delightful updates showcased Nina's happy moments—playing in the yard, snugging in her bed, and enjoying walks around the neighborhood. It was a joy to see her so comfortable and content, and it reassured me that she was receiving all the love and attention she deserves. Nina formed a special bond with Mr. Vipulkumar during her time there. His patience and kindness made her feel safe and cherished, and it truly felt like she was part of the family. In summary, Mr. Vipulkumar provided an outstanding experience for Nina, ensuring she felt at home while I was away. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is reliable, caring, and attentive, Mr. Vipulkumar is the perfect choice!”

Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!”
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”

I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!”
About: I have experience working at doggy day cares, pet resort and hospital and I most recently have worked with a small pet sitting business where I walked dogs, fed and checked in on all types of pets, administered medication, was a pet taxi, wedding dog attendant and even sold “barkcuterie” boards! I work for in special education at an elementary school and just got out for summer break. I have open availability throughout the week and weekends! I am a very respectful, clean and organized person.

About: have experience caring for my sister’s cats by feeding them, giving them fresh water, cleaning their litter box, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, gentle, reliable, and truly enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while their owners are away.
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
About: I've had cats of my own for over 15 years. I have experience caring for neighbors and friends cats for well over 10 years. I understand cat behavior and body language well. Through my education background (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training) and from personal experience, I know how to administer medication to cats of all ages.
About: I've taken care of cats of all ages as a pet sitter. I have a calm demeanor and have befriended even the most skittish of cats. I am experienced in administering medication and exercising cats!
“Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“I will be booking with Monica again in the future! She took such great care of my cats and even helped with watering my plants. She left a detailed summary of each visits with pictures. I’m glad to know my cats were in such great hands!”
“Wendy is amazing! This girl goes above and beyond. I got plenty of text and photos about the well-being of my babies. We even had an incident where it looked like someone tried to break in while I was away, and she sent extra photos just for my examination so I could tell if anything else was off. She's easy to get a hold of and communicate with. I will definitely be reaching out to her for all of my pet sitting needs as well as recommending her to anyone else in need.”

“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue!

I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I can adapt to your pet’s comfort level—whether that means gentle socialization or separate spaces. Your home and your pet’s belongings are treated with the utmost respect.

When in your home, I will follow all rules as necessary! I will crate your pup if you need or let them roam free! I will follow whatever I am told to do in order to give your fur baby the best care while you are away!
About: Neighbors and family friends have always relied on me to dog sit, take their dog out and spend the night to make sure their animals were okay while they were gone. I have free availability from week and weekends from early mornings to later afternoons. I currently just graduated college so I have alot of free time. I take good care of my own dog so other dogs will be a breeze to look out for and make sure they are doing good.
About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.
About: I’ve owned multiple different pets my entire life and I honestly feel so much joy just from snuggling my dog and cat and any other pet I encounter. I love to walk dogs of any age and size and I love to care for cats also!! I have lots of free time and I feel I could be very useful for people who need a pet sitter! I’ve watched some of my friends animals before but most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals! I have a big dog, I’ve had her for about 8 years and I also have a cat and a guinea pig! I really love my animals and I would love to be able to take care of more, for anyone who needs help!

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)”
“Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“It was our first time booking with Monique and I would 100% book again! We left our dog with her for five nights, and he was well taken care of. We got daily updates and pictures, and we love that she has a work-from-home and fenced yard set-up so that he was with people most of the time. Thank you Monique! Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!”

“Devon and Tyson watched my dog, Kaia while I was on vacation and couldn't be happier! I enjoyed getting daily updates (pics and videos) of Kaia having fun with their dog - seeing her so happy and playful with their dog made my day! Their communication game is on point; I never felt out of the loop. Kaia seemed like she was on her own little vacation, totally at ease and right at home. Without a doubt, I will be booking with them again in the future and would highly recommend!”
