“We were very happy with Steph and it seemed our dog was happy too. She followed our feeding instructions and made sure he had 2 walks a day and got to play fetch in her backyard. I really liked the way Steph stated in touch with us through photos of our dog and comments on how he was doing. We highly recommend Step for a dog sitter . Thank you Steph”
“We booked Mario for the first time/new clients. We liked his boarding care. He was great ! We met him prior to booking to get acquainted with him and for our dog to get to know him. My beagle got a lot with him well . Mario sent me a daily report and pictures . I felt at ease during our time away from our family puppy. I have already recommend Mario to our friends and family. With that said, I would definitely book with Mario again.”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“Cat was great with my "Cat- Pete" I enjoyed the photos she sent me of him "Birdwatching". It really let me know he was having a vacation at her home, while we were on our vacation! I instantly felt her love for Pete the moment we arrived for our meet-up visit! I would recommend Cat to be your pet sitter too!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Annette! She took amazing care of our sweet baby Kenji over the weekend. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with frequent updates, photos, and videos. She truly went the extra mile to make sure Kenji felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 36 years. I have cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and rescue animals throughout my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I currently have four adopted cats and have spent years helping care for neighborhood cats and kittens. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality traits, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and companionship. Whether your pet loves to play or simply wants a calm and caring presence, I will treat them like one of my own family members Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own pets and regularly feed and monitor neighborhood cats and kittens. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week. I understand the importance of consistency and will make sure your pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests from pet owners. I take the time to earn each pet's trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether caring for pets in my client's home or during walks and drop-in visits, I provide attentive supervision, plenty of affection, and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away
“Lorri took good care of my boy and I could tell from the photos and videos she sent me that he was having a great time while making new furry friends. I finally found the kind of petsitter that gives me peace of mind and doesn't make me feel guilty about going on weekend getaways without my best friend.”
“First time using Rover and Cande was great with our little Louie! She updated us throughout the day with pictures and videos. Great first experience, thank you!”
“Ellen was fantastic! She made my pup feel right at home, took her on walks, and shared thoughtful updates that completely put me at ease. You can truly tell that Ellen loves animals and takes such great care of them. I’d absolutely recommend her and can’t thank her enough!”
“Absolutely the best! My dog loves it there, has a playmate to pass the time. Stephanie and Jennifer are the best, the photo and video updates are really great. They have watched my dog several times and I have been 100% happy each time! Really great to just relax knowing your dog is in good hands. *I'm hesitant writing this, I don't want them booked up when I need them :)”
“Sheena took such good care of Mango. She went above and beyond most Rover hosts we have asked to take care of Mango in the past. She sent us so many videos and photos of Mango to us. Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Julie and Scott! I highly recommend them, and we're so grateful to have found them. We reached out for a last-minute dog sitter over the holidays for our 8-year-old small terrier mix, Zazu. Zazu can be a little bossy and defensive with other dogs, which we gave them a heads up about since they have a big dog at home. Julie and Scott did an AMAZING job integrating Zazu into their home life and making her feel comfortable with them and their sweet dog, Snacks. They sent lots of wonderful photos, videos, and updates - including videos of Zazu playing happily with Snacks! Julie and Scott are both so friendly and warm, it's no surprise that Zazu felt comfortable with them immediately. They took her on many walks and let her cuddle with them in bed to sleep at night. My wife and I joked that Zazu wasn't going to want to come home at the end of the stay. We are so relieved and excited to have found them, and will 1,000% be reaching out to them for our next dog sitting need.”
“We left out dog for 1 week and based on the pictures and videos, he had a blast. Stefanie was easy to communicate with, and our request was answered very quickly. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Stefanie.”
“I had such a great experience having Jeter and Blue stay with Gracie & Julio over the long weekend! They were incredibly flexible, accommodating, and took such great care of both of them. I loved getting pictures and updates throughout their stay. It was so nice to see how happy, comfortable, and well taken care of they were. I could tell they were in great hands, and I really appreciated all the love and attention they gave them. I would absolutely recommend Gracie & Julio and would definitely have Jeter and Blue stay with them again!”
“She was fantastic!!! I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know and she made me feel like he was so safe and taken care of! She has a great safe fenced in yard for him to play and She sent updates frequently on what/how he was doing! He came back groomed and tired from playing with puppy friends all week! I will definitely book with her again and I recommend anyone to do the same! Thank you Noemi!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”

“Nora was absolutely wonderful. Will def rebook with her again. Her check ins were thorough and consistent. She was a great communicator. And she was very flexible and helpful when we had to deal with a family emergency while we were away (and had to extend our booking). She even fixed a troubled doorknob while we were gone. Nora was great.”
“Richelle is great. My cat, who hates everybody, really warmed up to her. Even took on feeding my turtles. I have used her services quite a few times in the past and will again. Friendly, communicative, and punctual. 5 stars!!”
About: I have a high respect for cats especially, and am aware that they require a much different style of care than dogs. I do not have as extensive of experience with cats as I do with dogs, but that is not by choice (my parent is allergic). My roommate in college adopted a kitten, and I helped a with some of the care. I would love to be of service to your beloved cat!
About: I love making sure every kitty feels happy, comfortable, and cared for! 🐱💕 I’m all about cozy kitty cuddles, fun playtime, keeping their space clean, and making sure they’re fed and comfortable. Whether they’re playful, shy, or professional biscuit makers, I’ll give them plenty of patience, love, and attention. 🐾✨
“Daniella did a fantastic job with our puppy during her drop in visits! She kept us in the loop with cute pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and went above and beyond to work on training and brushing. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have been a dog mom coming up for 9 years. The love and care I have for my own I enjoy giving to all dogs. At the moment I do not have a job that requires me to be at a certain location during the day so I am free mornings and afternoons. I make sure all pets are walking normally before and after and make sure that they don't consume anything off the streets. My main goal is to make sure dogs are tired or atleast distracted during their walk so they get the sense that they went out and can get a good nap in after.
“Lana was a trooper and very understanding when I had issues completing our meet and greet, which I appreciated. She took good care of the cats and double checked with me that the fountain was alright because it doesn't run constantly (it is motion-activated). Overall, I would recommend Lana; she was nice, responsive, and understanding.”
“I highly recommend Sabrina as I’ve found her to be communicative and trustworthy. It’s great to be able to go away and enjoy ourselves knowing our cats are in good hands.”
“Jessica & John are fantastic sitters. They’re incredibly thorough and detailed. This is my 2nd booking with them and I couldn’t be happier (as well as our cat and dog!) You can tell they’re true animal lovers. Will continue to book!”
“Sarah took excellent care of my dog. She gave us so much peace of mind on our trip and it was honestly like we never left. Our dog obviously had a wonderful few days of drop in care with Sarah and we will be contacting her again in the future for more care. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Mallory did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat Helena while I was out of town. When I got home, Helena was her usual self- sassy, vocal, and ready to "help" with everything. Great pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for the past 7 years, and for the last 2 years I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter. Through this, I’ve had the chance to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy! I work a 9–5 as an engineer, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and all weekend. I live in a safe, gated community, which gives pets an extra layer of security when they’re with me. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always make their safety my top priority—keeping a close eye on them during walks, making sure leashes and harnesses are secure, and giving them a comfortable, stress-free environment.
About: I have a soft spot for cats. I grew up mostly around dogs my whole life but regularly fed and cared for the stray cats in my neighborhood. After volunteering at the local animal shelter and fostering kittens, I found out how misunderstood cats are! I can't recall ever having a bad experience with a cat under my care. Though my knowledge of cat care is still definitely growing, rest assured that I'll do everything I can to meet your cat's needs. I treat every animal with patience and respect, and cats would be no different. P.S. I’ve met plenty of shy cats who’d usually hide when around new people. I’ve regularly been successful at making them comfortable by just allowing them to approach me whenever they’re ready! I’m open to cuddles or just simply coexisting with your kitty if that’s all they’re comfortable with :)

“Jetta had the best time at daycare with Lorri and the "pack"! Lorri has excellent communication, sends updates, and really helps us feel comfortable knowing our girl is so well taken care of in our absence. We can't recommend her enough, thank you!”

“Once again, I picked up my pup and he was worn out from playing all day, I recommend Alexandria to anyone who would like a sitter to treat their pet just like one of their own. She’s the most helpful when it comes to updating me on how my bud is doing throughout the day. Absolutely the best pet sitter around!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.

“We were very happy with Hersh and his care for our small dog Sophie. Sophie was calm and relaxed when we picker her up unlike a previous stay at a kennel for small dogs. Hersh sent us a picture of Sophie relaxing on the couch and I could tell she was enjoying herself and was content. Good job. We would definitely use Hersh again if we are traveling in the area.”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I've spent my life caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own, and although my beloved dogs have passed, my love for animals has never changed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'll provide the same patience, affection, and dependable care that I'd want for my own pets. Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I currently care for my cats and have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I enjoy providing playtime, affection, and dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I'm a full-time special education teacher, and my husband is also a lifelong animal lover who is home during the day. While I will always be your pet's primary caregiver and point of contact, having another caring adult in the home means your pet will enjoy extra companionship, attention, and a safe, loving environment.

“We used Rachel for doggie daycare for the first time yesterday, and Mila had such a great time! She was able to hang out with Rachel’s dog, Robin, and her two cats, and it was clear she felt comfortable and happy. Rachel even texted us the cutest pictures of their interactions, which we absolutely loved. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of Mila. We will definitely be using your daycare services again in the near future and look forward to some training sessions as well!”
“I cannot thoroughly explain how grateful I am that Lexie agreed to watch my boy for me; we had met with another sitter months in advance who agreed to our pick up and drop off times at the meet and greet, but decided to cancel on me a few hours before! Beyond flustered and upset I was panicking, but Lexie came to the rescue but not only that, she provided Oliver a safe place to interact with other dogs. 🥹🧡 She provided updates with pictures to let me know my baby was safe and being watched. if you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable and will love your dog like their own, I highly recommend Lexie. I will be using her again in the future.”

Leashes are usually always on unless you have a fenced yard. I don’t mind having them in my car as well, they’ll always ride in the back seat with your permission!
“Mike was on time and courteous, and most importantly, developed an instant rapport with my skittish shepherd. He was great at handling her when she tried to bark at a little dog, and got her under control without being harsh. I feel good about him walking her alone.”

About: About 3 years ago, I moved to California specifically to live with a close friend who had just become a flight attendant to help take care of her two dogs and two cats while she was away for work. Since she traveled often, I became a big part of their everyday care… feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, keeping them company, and of course giving them lots of love. I even took them to a little trip with me to Joshua tree, which they enjoyed very much! One of her cats also had asthma, so I learned to be extra attentive to her needs and helped with taking her to vet appointments when needed. I’ve also helped other friends with house sitting, dog walking, and caring for their pets while they were away or out of town. I genuinely love animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your fur babies. I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and get plenty of love and attention while you’re away 🤍🐾 I may be new to Rover, but caring for pets has been a big part of my life for the last few years, and I’d love to care for yours too! I do work full-time in the hotel industry as a front desk supervisor, and do 8-hour shifts. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and for drop-ins or walks. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay overnight and care for your fur baby before and after my shift. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so we can make sure it’s the right fit for your pet! I know every fur baby has their own personality and routine, so I like to learn what makes them feel most comfortable before you leave. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, their favorite walking route, extra playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to follow their normal routine. I’m also very respectful of your home and will always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed, and everything is left just as I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and little updates too, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is doing well!
About: I have two large-breed dogs of my own who I love to the moon and back, so I understand just how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ve taken obedience training classes with my own dogs, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that dog training is just as much about teaching the owner as it is the dog! Those experiences have taught me patience, consistency, how to read a dog’s behavior, and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, including large, strong, and high energy breeds. I also grew up around cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my family. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat mine, with genuine love, patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. As a dog owner myself, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can be flexible with timing depending on you and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule to help keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, stay aware of our surroundings on walks, and never put a pet in an environment or situation that makes them uncomfortable. Having two large dogs of my own has also made me very comfortable handling bigger, stronger, and higher energy dogs. I also believe communication is a huge part of building trust. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
About: I've been a pet-owner since I became an adult, also growing up with pets as a child. My first pet as an adult was my cat, Carpet, who I acquired in the aftermath of the 1994 earthquake. Carpet lived with me for 20 years. During that time my cat, Rocky (aka Rocky Raccoon), joined us as a kitten. And when my neighbors’ dog Roxy needed a home due to her adoptive dad's ill health, I took her in. I adopted Roxy, my Staffordshire Terrier, when she was about 5 years old. I took great initiative to make sure she and the cats got along. Carpet, being older, liked her own space, but after she passed, Roxy and Rocky became forever friends (much like Warner Brothers' Tom & Jerry)! Both Rocky and I were devastated when we lost Roxy in the summer of 2018 at 14 years old. Roxy had struggled with many health issues and had been losing the use of her hind legs for a couple of years prior to that dreaded day. Taking care of Roxy taught me patience and a strong will to match her own. I learned how to care for an invalid and still make her smile. I know the expectations of senior dog care. I know it's hard to leave your senior dog, or any dog, in the care of a new person, but I can assure you that your dog will receive love and attention tailored to his or her needs. For active dogs, we can take a stroll to the jetty or a walk along the beach...all steps from my home.... or play ball in the park or a nearby field...or my back yard which has a nice run! On July 7, 2025, my dear cat Rocky passed away at the age of 20 from Chronic Kidney Disease. I took very meticulous care of her after her diagnosis to help her live her best life while managing the disease. When she was gone, it was the first time in my adult life that I lived in a home without a pet. I have not been ready to get another pet of my own, but I so miss having them around. That’s why I have opened up my home and offered my services to other pet owners. I know how hard it is to find the right fit and a person you can trust. I hope to be the kind of sitter I would have wanted for my own pets. I would love to have the company of your companion while you are away and provide them with a nice vacation home. *Please note: i am happy to travel further for House Sitting bookings or have your pet come to me. For Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking, I serve my local areas only in order to keep my prices low. Feel free to message me with any question. Thank you! I have used Rover sitting services in the past. Recently, I began working from home, so I am now offering my services as a sitter now that I can be available for the most part of the day and nights. Some days do require meetings or errands so in the event that comes up, we can discuss in advance how to handle. I can also bring your dog for a ride-along in these cases if possible and if they do well in cars. I live next to the beach and would love to take your pooch for a stroll or play some ball or even a swim if mom and dad allow it. I would be happy to day-sit for those working long hours and/or find some regular clients so I can build a relationship with your pet(s). I will strictly follow all rules given to me by pooch parents, as I know both pets and people have their quirks! I am open to watching more than one dog from the same home. I will never have another clients pets in my home when yours are booked to stay, unless and in case of an emergency and where I have your approval. Your pet(s) will have my undivided attention. I am the only human in my househould. On occasion, I will have a visitor. I have a doggy door in the house and dog beds for your dogs use, although, I may allow them up on the couch or in the bed with me if that's what they are allowed to do at home. I have tennis balls and chuck-its for playing, as well as some toys, but best of all, the beach is only one short block away! We can take a nice long walk on the sidewalks or on the beach. My home has faux wood flooring (more of a tile laminate) and an area carpet. I have a nice cement back yard about 12 by 80 feet long where your dog and I can play and/or sun bathe. Your pet would be by my side and taken for outings if they are up to it. If they are not up for outings, they will have access to a doggy door 24/7. For cat parents, I also have cat beds and kitty toys as well as a place to set your baby's own litter box so they can have the smells of their own home! (Due to owner's allergies, some litter products may need to be swapped. Most clumping litters are okay.)
About: I have been a dog mom coming up for 9 years. The love and care I have for my own I enjoy giving to all dogs. At the moment I do not have a job that requires me to be at a certain location during the day so I am free mornings and afternoons. I make sure all pets are walking normally before and after and make sure that they don't consume anything off the streets. My main goal is to make sure dogs are tired or atleast distracted during their walk so they get the sense that they went out and can get a good nap in after.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 6. Having my own dog was literally the dream of my life since I remember. I’ve always loved animals and have had pets my entire life, - at different times, my family had 3 dogs, 4 cats, parrots, hamsters, and even chickens. I’ve always been the go-to person in my family for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after our pets, and I truly enjoy every part of it. I love all animals, and I genuinely believe they feel my positive energy and trust in return. I’d be happy to help with pet sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking any time of day, including overnight stays. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

“We were very happy with Steph and it seemed our dog was happy too. She followed our feeding instructions and made sure he had 2 walks a day and got to play fetch in her backyard. I really liked the way Steph stated in touch with us through photos of our dog and comments on how he was doing. We highly recommend Step for a dog sitter . Thank you Steph”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 36 years. I have cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and rescue animals throughout my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I currently have four adopted cats and have spent years helping care for neighborhood cats and kittens. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality traits, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and companionship. Whether your pet loves to play or simply wants a calm and caring presence, I will treat them like one of my own family members Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own pets and regularly feed and monitor neighborhood cats and kittens.

I take the time to earn each pet's trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care.

“Lorri took good care of my boy and I could tell from the photos and videos she sent me that he was having a great time while making new furry friends. I finally found the kind of petsitter that gives me peace of mind and doesn't make me feel guilty about going on weekend getaways without my best friend.”
“Ellen was fantastic! She made my pup feel right at home, took her on walks, and shared thoughtful updates that completely put me at ease. You can truly tell that Ellen loves animals and takes such great care of them. I’d absolutely recommend her and can’t thank her enough!”
“Sheena took such good care of Mango. She went above and beyond most Rover hosts we have asked to take care of Mango in the past. She sent us so many videos and photos of Mango to us. Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Julie and Scott! I highly recommend them, and we're so grateful to have found them. We reached out for a last-minute dog sitter over the holidays for our 8-year-old small terrier mix, Zazu. Zazu can be a little bossy and defensive with other dogs, which we gave them a heads up about since they have a big dog at home. Julie and Scott did an AMAZING job integrating Zazu into their home life and making her feel comfortable with them and their sweet dog, Snacks. They sent lots of wonderful photos, videos, and updates - including videos of Zazu playing happily with Snacks! Julie and Scott are both so friendly and warm, it's no surprise that Zazu felt comfortable with them immediately. They took her on many walks and let her cuddle with them in bed to sleep at night. My wife and I joked that Zazu wasn't going to want to come home at the end of the stay. We are so relieved and excited to have found them, and will 1,000% be reaching out to them for our next dog sitting need.”
“We left out dog for 1 week and based on the pictures and videos, he had a blast. Stefanie was easy to communicate with, and our request was answered very quickly. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Stefanie.”
“I had such a great experience having Jeter and Blue stay with Gracie & Julio over the long weekend! They were incredibly flexible, accommodating, and took such great care of both of them. I loved getting pictures and updates throughout their stay. It was so nice to see how happy, comfortable, and well taken care of they were. I could tell they were in great hands, and I really appreciated all the love and attention they gave them. I would absolutely recommend Gracie & Julio and would definitely have Jeter and Blue stay with them again!”
“She was fantastic!!! I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know and she made me feel like he was so safe and taken care of! She has a great safe fenced in yard for him to play and She sent updates frequently on what/how he was doing! He came back groomed and tired from playing with puppy friends all week! I will definitely book with her again and I recommend anyone to do the same! Thank you Noemi!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life I currently have two dogs a cat 4 parakeets 4 love birds a hamster and a fish. I'm an animal lover I currently work from home caring for a special needs sister. I'm free throughout the day and evening. I have a very open schedule and love to walk.

“Gretchen is an animal person and a dog lover for sure! Mei Mei fell in love with her right away. Gretchen is a great communicator and responds right away. She took some photos of Mei Mei and kept me informed of her day which was nice of her. She made sure Mei Mei had her food and checked in with me about Mei’s Mei’s potty times before I dropped her off and before I picked her up. Always a good sign of an attentive dog person. Would highly recommend Gretchen. I’m sure she’ll see requests from us in the future.”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I've spent my life caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own, and although my beloved dogs have passed, my love for animals has never changed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'll provide the same patience, affection, and dependable care that I'd want for my own pets. Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I currently care for my cats and have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I enjoy providing playtime, affection, and dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I'm a full-time special education teacher, and my husband is also a lifelong animal lover who is home during the day. While I will always be your pet's primary caregiver and point of contact, having another caring adult in the home means your pet will enjoy extra companionship, attention, and a safe, loving environment. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and explore safely under supervision. I also have a nearby park, perfect for walks and extra exercise. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of my dog Otis. When my original dog sitter became unavailable, Amanda was able to accommodate us on short notice. We did a meet and greet beforehand to ensure that our dogs got along. Both Margot and Phoebe are great and very sociable! During Otis’s stay, Amanda was very communicative and kept me updated with photos and videos. I would book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“We left our dog with Jessica for a few days over Memorial Day weekend and she did a great job with him. Great communication and quick to respond to messages, sent pictures of our pup everyday, and was overall great to work with.”
“Jenny was great in every aspect. We needed to find a dog sitter for our last minute trip and she was more than accommodating. During our dog’s stay, she was great about keeping us updated on him with messages and pictures. All around great experience and we would definitely love to book with her again.”
