“She was absolutely excellent! She took amazing care of my cat and kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. My cat was happy and well looked after when I got home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“So grateful for Wiliams time and help watching over my fur baby. Almond had an incredible time thanks to William playing, walking and caring for her. I received constant pictures and updates. Almond was happy and cared for with William. She stayed 12 days and William was patient with her tedious feedings as I have made my dog extra picky with her feedings. She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“Wen really took special care of Rocket in her home and with her family. I’m so happy he could spend time with her children and I think he really loved that. Thank you 🙏🏻 Rocket will be back❤️”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Lanie, Layla and I enjoyed meeting Amanda. We appreciate the pre-meet to get acquainted. She has an extensive knowledge of dog care, which put my mind at ease. We booked the stay and everything went great. Our dogs came home happy and it seems Lanie made a new friend in Amanda’s daughter. We plan to book with her again. Thanks, Amanda!”
“Annie was great! Very thorough and always checked in with us and let us know how he was doing, what’s was going on with his day and sent us lots of pics. She was exactly what who we wanted to watch our Theo and will criminal use her again for our next vacation.”
“Donna and Mike were fantastic. My usual dog-sitter and backup were unavailable, so found Donna and Mike and they responded quickly, had a meet-and-greet the next day, and then dropped off my dog Dottie a few days later. They are very nice, kept me in the loop and with pictures the whole time, accommodating with pickup and drop-off, and are just great overall. Would definitely book again. Thanks again Donna and Mike for taking such great care of Dottie!”
“Jocelyn did an exceptional job caring for Penny. She took care of Penny for 3 days and we couldn't be more happier. She updated us a number of times while our Penny was under her care and sent pictures and videos to keep us up to date. We will definitely book Penny with Jocelyn again.”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“Phoebe had a great stay with Luana. Luana kept us informed about Phoebe’s visit and sent pictures. She was very attentive to Phoebe’s needs. We definitely recommend Luana.”
“We booked Marta for a 15-day stay while we were away, and we really appreciated how well she cared for Milo. When our flight was delayed, she was super flexible and had no problem extending his stay by an extra day, which was such a relief. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. She also shared helpful tips to keep our dog healthy. Overall, we’re grateful to have had her look after our pup and keep him happy and safe while we were gone!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of Milo! He was spoiled with lots of play time and walks. I can honestly say that she is the best pet sitter we have had. She was professional and communicated with us multiple times throughout the day. We loved getting pictures and videos of what Milo was up to. It was clear that he had a wonderful time. We could see that Stephanie has a true heart for pets and she treated Milo with so much love and kindness. We could not have asked for a better experience and will be using her again.”
“Tyrie was the best sitter for our fur-baby. She treated him like her own, and he was very comfortable in her care. Tyrie was also very thoughtful, and she followed all of our requests for walks, treats, and meal times. She was responsive to my messages and kept in touch during boarding.”

“Amanda was fantastic looking after my little fur baby who is settling into a new medication routine. She was always quick to respond and also great at keeping me up to date which was much appreciated!”
“Rachel is wonderful. Under her care my cat Tinky thrived. Tink developed a middle ear infection right before the Two week Xmas break from school. We had a trip planned to visit family for Christmas. We didn’t know what to do. A friend suggested using rover as they were using rover for their dog during the holidays break. We met Rachael and she put me at ease letting me know she had 4 cats of her own and her mom’s cat had previously had a middle ear infection. I felt confident she would know how to take care of Tinky. And she did. She gave her two kinds of medicine twice a day. Sent photos and updates. I didn’t worry at all because she was so thoughtful, caring and an expert with meds. Tinky was a happy kitty when we got home thank you Rachel.”

“Aarthi is great! She looked after my 3 cats while I was away and they loved her. She is very communicative and also sends photos/videos which was appreciated. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries. I believe Kona enjoys her time with Stephanie (and her well-adjusted Chihuahua Olive) as a fun special time with friends.”

I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you.

“Kylie was outstanding. She was punctual, friendly. and above all, obviously liked our cats. We live in a rural-ish area and appreciate her dedication to make it out every day. All the tasks were accomplished wonderfully and we were able to have a worry-free few days away. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Delighted once again with her loving and attentive care for our beloved senior kitties! She sent pictures and updates, reassuring us that everything was going g beautifully. We love the peace of mind!!”
“I’m very happy to have found Katelyn for occasional check ins. She is very friendly, reliable and punctual. She did everything exactly how I explained. Her experience as an RVT really gave us peace of mind since we have a diabetic dog thats needs insulin injections and medication. I definitely recommend her; especially if you have dogs with special needs.”
“Bradey took such wonderful care of my two kitties. Even c Gave extra love, sometimes space, treats and empathy to my asthmatic girl who likes to be difficult with her inhaler. She was on top of all of her tasks with them. I know I can rely on her.”
“Marie was great with communication and updates. We will definitely call her when we need a carer again. We can not thank her enough for her kindness, care and love for our beloved cats. We are very grateful for Marie’s pet sitting services.”
About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs including my own husky and several senior pups requiring medical support and vet visits. Over my lifetime, I’ve owned and loved five dogs, and I understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Beyond pet care, I’ve been entrusted to look after luxury homes in Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years, I managed weekly household needs to coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and more. I’ve cared for estates valued at $1-10 million, always leaving them spotless and secure. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic huskies, tending to senior dogs with extra care, or making sure your home is in perfect order, you can count on me to handle it all with reliability and professionalism. Rest assured I’ve got you (and your pets) covered. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.
“Erica is great! Highly recommend! She took good care of our cat while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She is very reliable and we felt very comfortable being gone for that length of time with her as our pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had cats and kittens since childhood and honestly can’t remember a time when cats were not part of my family. Currently, I have two 5-year-old rescue cats, Piper and Gimli, who are very much part of my daily life. At home, we have a cat wheel that Piper enthusiastically uses several times a day, as well as a stroller the cats jump into when they want to be pushed around the house. I usually take them from room to room, talking to them and describing where we are. They enjoy having individual turns, and Gimli especially likes curling up in the stroller for naps. He also loves “Cat TV” and will sit on the ottoman staring toward the television until I turn it on for him. Both cats are very attached and tend to follow me everywhere — supervising me in the kitchen, “helping” at my desk, curling up on my lap while I relax, and sleeping on my bed each night. They are strictly indoor cats. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats with medical needs. Previous cats required hydration injections, which I administered myself, along with pills and liquid medications when needed. I trim Piper’s nails regularly, although Gimli is much stronger and more sensitive about handling. He prefers affection on his own terms and enjoys relaxing high up in the cat tree, while Piper is more independent overall. I frequently care for my son’s cats as well. His family previously had two senior cats who lived to age 17 and required ongoing medication, including insulin injections for diabetes. They now have two energetic young kittens, which requires careful supervision because the family also has a Husky who is not yet trustworthy around small animals. Managing boundaries and keeping the kittens safe has become an important part of their daily routine. I also care for my former neighbor’s cat whenever she travels. Although shy with most people, she has become very comfortable with me and greets me enthusiastically when I arrive. I typically visit her two or three times a day so she has companionship, playtime, and attention in addition to basic care. In addition, I’ve cared for a friend’s cats while she was away, and her remaining cat still happily greets me whenever I visit. Animals have always seemed to trust and respond well to me. It’s very rare for one to act aggressively toward me, and I genuinely enjoy earning their comfort and confidence.
“We found Tyrie to be not only naturally good with animals, but also extremely responsible in caring for our home and garden. We were gone for two weeks and returned home to find everything in perfect condition! We will have her back for our next vacation. She's the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I’m comfortable with all types of kitties,shy, sassy, playful, or super cuddly. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of gentle attention, making sure your cat feels safe and loved while you’re away
“Ashley is the most loving, and accommodating sitter I could ever ask for. She took care of our cat every day for almost three weeks. She was very kind to buy cat treats and toys on top of the routine tasks, our cat loves her!”
“Never in my life I left my cats to anyone I didn’t know before and Jazmin made it easy for me to trust her with my cats! Jazmin is very responsible and animal loving person, she made it easier for my cats to deal with stress and do not feel alone and forgotten, while I was away moving my dog from coast to coast. I definitely recommend Jazmin as attentive, loving and thoughtful cat sitter!”

About: I am retired as of a few years ago, and we just lost our Bailey girl at 14 years old a few years back. I haven’t adopted a new dog since and instead am taking care of our kids dogs when they go out of town but do miss having a dog around. I’ve cared for about 6 dogs over my lifetime, and would love to care for your pup too. We have a huge yard that is fenced in for them to go out and play and a large neighborhood great for walks. A few of the dogs I have taken care, love to run in our backyard because there is room for them to run. Since I’m retired I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pups. I love dogs and enjoy interacting with them. I want them to be happy and safe. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard and a separate fenced in side yard both of which can be closed and keep the dog inside. I also welcome any crates if a dog feels more comfortable in a crate at night. If a dog is well behaved at night, they could also bring a bed and sleep next to our bed.
“Wen and her family were the best! She sent lots of pictures and videos, that showed Boaty was being well treated. Also I could tell by her pictures her home is well take care of and clean.”
“We really appreciate Pili accommodate our very last minute request and being flexible. She takes great care of our puppy. She was very diligent with frequent updates and pictures and our puppy was very happy when we picked her up at the end of the day care!”

“If I didn't know that I would bore you, I’d write a whole essay about our AMAZING experience with Mike and Donna. In a few words, they are the best pup sitters in the world. They pay attention to every detail and they cared for our dogs, as if they were their own in the best possible way. Thank you Mike and Donna for all the love and wonderful time you gave our fur babies.”
“I took a "test drive" with Mark, leaving my dogs with him for a day. He was a great match for my 2 older dogs. He knew how to match their energy and had a very calm presence when they first met him. My pups will usually bark at people when they first met them but not at Mark. They were fine with him for a full day. He took them for a walk and they were fine for him. My "party pup" wanted more pets from Mark before we left. I definitely recommend Mark for a calm & comfortable person & place of care.”

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County.

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog.

About: I have a good experience caring for senior dogs because I had my own dog who passed away three years ago. He was a 17-year-old Lhasa Apso and had been my best friend since I was born. He was blind and had trouble moving around, so I learned how to help him safely and give him the care and attention he needed. Over the past three years, I’ve also taken care of puppies, active dogs, older dogs, and dogs that needed medication, for quick walks, overnight stays and even long periods such as a 5 week stay. I’ve even cared for kittens and senior cats, making sure they were happy, healthy, and well looked after.

“Erica did a great job. I got home early and found my dogs, calm quiet, and very contented. Erica was out on a walk by herself. As I told her she could do when I got back she returned about 15 - 20 minutes later. And, she offered to, and did, take my pups on another walk to wear them out for the evening. I was very happy with her care of my dogs. In fact, I had already lined her up for a four day house/dog sitting job. After this any qualms I had vanished!”
“Tyrie was able to help me with doggy day care very last minute. My dog Frank had a great day with her and enjoyed himself immensely! I am very grateful for Tyrie’s efficient and quick response time and loving doggy daycare! Book with confidence!”

“Brady absolutely loves his walks with Jay! He looks so happy when he gets picked up, his tail wags away as they go for walks. My pooch is a "hard walker", he pulls & and at times he has reactivity issues towards other dogs, but Jay seems to know how to handle him. They definitely have a connection! Jay also has an easy going personality & he's been trust worthy regarding the schedule. Super happy to have discovered Jay as Brady's dog walker!🐾😊”

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over many years, including birds, cats, dogs, fish and others. I’m also the go-to caregiver for my son’s animals whenever needed. Friends know me as a dedicated animal lover and often reach out for help or advice in different pet and wildlife situations. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals in need and have rescued and cared for crows, hummingbirds, sparrows, finches and other wildlife over the years. I'm semi-retired and do volunteer work on Mondays. The rest of the week is fairly open so I can be flexible with your requirements. Typically, I stop by in the morning and then again in the late afternoon or evening depending on your preference. I believe pet care should involve more than simply feeding and leaving. I take time to make cats feel comfortable, cared for, and less lonely while their owners are away. During visits, I greet and talk to the cat, refresh water with clean bowls, provide meals according to instructions, and spend quality time doing whatever the cat enjoys most — whether that’s playing, brushing, petting, or simply sitting quietly nearby. I also check and clean the litter box as needed. Visits are typically about 30 minutes or longer, depending on the cat’s personality and level of interaction. Some cats enjoy active attention, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence. At times, I’ll sit and read quietly so they feel relaxed and accompanied. For evening visits, I can turn on small lights (or follow any specific household instructions) and turn them off during morning visits. Before leaving, I tidy up toys, make sure feeding areas are clean, return everything to its original place, and ensure the home is secure and locked. I also like to send occasional photos or updates so owners can see that their pets are safe, happy, and doing well.
About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs including my own husky and several senior pups requiring medical support and vet visits. Over my lifetime, I’ve owned and loved five dogs, and I understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Beyond pet care, I’ve been entrusted to look after luxury homes in Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years, I managed weekly household needs to coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and more. I’ve cared for estates valued at $1-10 million, always leaving them spotless and secure. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic huskies, tending to senior dogs with extra care, or making sure your home is in perfect order, you can count on me to handle it all with reliability and professionalism. Rest assured I’ve got you (and your pets) covered. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and loving pet sitter who truly treats every animal like family ❤️ I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. Right now, I have two cats — one I adopted from a shelter and another I rescued from the street. This experience has made me especially patient, attentive, and understanding with all kinds of personalities, including shy or anxious pets. I offer dog walking and in-home boarding in a safe, calm, and caring environment. I live in a townhouse with a large balcony, and there’s plenty of space nearby for walks, including a park where dogs can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I always send regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I’m reliable, gentle, and truly passionate about what I do — your pet will receive the same love and care as my own. I currently work from home online, so I have time to take care of your pets, play with them, and take them for walks. So I can come to your place and walk your pet at any time of the day. I live in a townhouse, and I have a large balcony and plenty of outdoor space for walks. I also have two cats who can keep your pets company—they are very friendly. I also have a separate spare room available if needed.
“The Doodles and I really enjoyed our time with Vy. I walked with her the first time as the feeding and walking can be complicated. And Charlie is a puppy and can be a challenge. Looking forward to the next dog walking session.”
“Kenna was absolutely wonderful—professional, communicative, and so caring. My pup adored her, and it was clear she went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable. 10/10, I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: Hi! I am a huge dog lover. I’ve had dogs all my life since I was born. I have had three German Shepherds growing up and now I have a border collie/retriever/lab mix (7) another shepherd (2) who loves playing with other dogs! I would love to take care of your dog while you need whether it be for a few hours-5 days. I love taking my dog to the dog park to run around and socialize and would love to take yours too. I love to cuddle and pet dogs ALL day so if your dog is one that loves that we will be perfect together!! If not, I can give your pet their space! I hope to meet your loved one soon and be able to play with your loving pet! *RATES ARE ON A SIZE/AGE/DAYS/AMOUNT OF DOGS BASIS :)* Not applicable, based on personal experience, preferences and individual needs, since every dog and family is different!

“Amazing! My fear reactive dog, Toby, loves Kianna so much and my Cassie is the same! They are sad for hours after she leaves and look for her each day. Just amazing how quickly they took to her! She is a new member of our pack!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I currently have two senior pugs, ages 16 and 13, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that older dogs often require. Through my volunteer work with Pug Rescue of Korea, I have fostered more than 10 dogs, including senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog. I've also fostered five puppies and understand the extra supervision, structure, and positive reinforcement that young dogs need. One thing adopters and rescue coordinators consistently appreciate about me is my communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents always know how their dog is doing. An adopter once described me as "extraordinarily communicative" and said the updates helped make her dog's transition into its new home seamless. I treat every dog as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra attention and companionship, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. As a small business owner, I manage my own hours and have the availability to provide reliable walks and check-ins throughout the week. Dogs are already a big part of my daily life. I care for my two senior pugs and continue to volunteer and foster through rescue organizations for several years. I enjoy spending time with dogs, getting outside, and helping them stay active and happy. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday and look forward to getting to know your pet. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. As a dog owner, foster volunteer, and rescue volunteer, I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow each owner's instructions and pay close attention to leash safety, hydration, and each dog's comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog, so I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and walking paces. I also respect my clients' homes and strive to be dependable, professional, and attentive. I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and have developed a special love for it. I have skills administering meds to cats and have three cats of my own! I am a current student, however, with summer coming up, my schedule is completely open! I would love to work with you to figure out the best way to ensure your pet has all the attention they need! I treat every pet as my own and every home as my own, with the upmost respect and care for everything in it! If there are any specific house rules, I would be glad to accommodate them!
About: We've had dogs almost all of our lives and because of our extraordinary care our last 3 dogs lived almost 18 years each. What a blessing they all were. The last one recently passed. We have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and are not afraid of dealing with their special issues. We understand, we all have special issues at times. We are looking forward to caring for your doggies, as well as you would care for them. My husband and I both work from home. We are free most of the day to care for your doggies. They will enjoy being with us and we will enjoy them.

We always walk our dogs on a leash and are careful when being around other dogs or children during our walks, we stop and let others pass or we cross the street.
“Bradey was professional and kind. She followed all instructions and asked questions for anything that wasn't clear. We loved having her take care of our pup and hope to use her again soon!”

“So grateful for Wiliams time and help watching over my fur baby. Almond had an incredible time thanks to William playing, walking and caring for her. I received constant pictures and updates. Almond was happy and cared for with William. She stayed 12 days and William was patient with her tedious feedings as I have made my dog extra picky with her feedings. She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”
“Wen really took special care of Rocket in her home and with her family. I’m so happy he could spend time with her children and I think he really loved that. Thank you 🙏🏻 Rocket will be back❤️”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Saeedeh took exceptional care of our English Bulldog, Nashville, and we could not be more grateful for her help. We found ourselves needing a sitter on very short notice, and she immediately made herself available without hesitation. This was also our first time boarding Nashville, so naturally we were a bit nervous. Saeedeh went above and beyond to keep us informed and comfortable by sending daily photos and videos, along with regular updates on how he was doing. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nashville was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely book with Saeedeh again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you again, Saeedeh, for taking such wonderful care of Nash!”
“Michael was a great local find for our Vizsla, Jupiter. He responded right away to a last minute request and Jupiter definitely enjoyed his visit there. Michael sent photos and texts. Perfect find.”

“Kun is wonderful! It is always scary leaving your furry family members behind when traveling. It's hard to know who to trust. Kun took such good care of our fur babies, kept us updated with messages and video, and was such a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough ❤️”
“Ellie and her family spoiled our dog Jager. He enjoyed a great deal of walks and playing. They even offered him a bigger and more supportive bed than the one I brought over. We will see if Ellie and her family are available to dogsit Jager again the next time we go out-of-town.”
“Gina kept us updated with pictures and videos daily. We looked forward to getting them everyday! She was flexible with pick up and drop off. Hazel has a great time and we will definitely be booking with Gina again!”
“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“An amazing experience! I have a Siberian Husky who is an escape artist, unspayed, and not so people/dog friendly. I’m so glad to have found someone who could accommodate. Great communication and my dog felt comfortable from the beginning. Highly recommend Thank you! 🙌🏻🙏”
