I'm glad we have someone we can rely on for future stays.”

“Chad and Franchesca were amazing at looking after our two indoor house cats whilst we were away for over 2 weeks! They took care of everything from food, water, litter tray, and even playing with them each day. They also took our trash out to be collected each week, and navigated heavy snow to come to our home. They gave detailed daily reports and photos, which was great to receive every day to know the cats were doing well. They responded to messages very promptly. We 100% recommend them and would definitely use them again!”
“I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Sahula (Rebecca) for the outstanding job she did for watching my kitties. She kept me posted with messages, pictures & videos throughout the day. I didn’t worry about them once while we were away. She even stayed later than originally scheduled due to our flight being delayed. When we returned, we found the house more organized and cleaner than when we left! I am praying she’s still available next year because after this experience, I don’t want anyone else watching them! Thank you Rebecca! I honestly can’t thank you enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of small to large dogs all my life for over 20 years. I am currently a mom to 3 dogs with all different sizes and breeds. I work from home which lets me spend a lot of time cooking for them, hiking with them and playing with them. I have volunteered with Humane Society for several years working with dogs with behavioral issues and have fostered several dogs as well. I offer multiple walks a day, hiking and long walks on weekends. We are walking distance from a lake so we can have a play time there if your dog loves water. I have a fenced yard and many hiking trails we frequent nearby. I have 3 friendly dogs that love to play. Crate is also available.
“Joshua was an excellent host and his dogs did excellent with our dog Duke! He came home tuckered out after a long day of playing! He sent pictures and kept us in the loop which was perfect since we rarely leave Duke alone. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Alexis was an absolutely amazing caretaker I would 100% book with her again and probably will do so in the near future. The amount of care, dedication and attention left me feeling so relieved that my two pups were in great hands even if one of my pups was a bit skittish and had boundaries with strangers it was clear he was able to relax in her home. She took plenty of pictures and her notes were so detailed I felt completely sure that they were having a great time. They had plenty of long walk’s, enrichment activities and made sure they were fed well and full. Its clear she has a great skill set that allows her to understand dog behavior exceptionally that makes her perfect for taking care of your pups, I was able to learn even more about my pups during their stay with Alexis. Cant recommend enough!”

Her house was very nice and had a decent size yard.what was really fantastic was that I got pictures of Charlie throughout the day which reassured me that not only was I having a great time but so was my dog. All in all I would highly recommend her and next time I visit she will be watching Sir Charlie Thank you again Angela :)”
“Kara took great care of Bogie during her daycare time! Bogie seemed to have a great time from all the videos and photos Kara sent and got along great with her two dogs and daughter. Would definitely have them watch Bogie again!”
About: I have had dogs of my own my entire life, and have always had one in my 36 years of life. I love and care for all dogs. Your dog will be loved and well taken care of not only by me but my whole family. I have 2 goldendoodles that I got as puppies and potty trained them as well as taught them basic commands. I do not allow pets outside, even my fenced yard, without me outside with them. We never have visitors so an opened gate will never be a problem, because our gates are always shut. Your animals will be loved as if it were one of our own. If an overnight stay and they are used to sleeping with a human, myself or my child will be more than happy to comfort them throughout the night. They will be so spoiled, loved, and extremely well taken care of. I work less than part-time from home. I am always available and can fit in your pets needs at any time. Your pet will fit right into my daily life. I have a fenced in yard, and your animal will not be allowed outside at any time alone, I will always be with them for potty time. I have 2 goldendoodles of my own, who are extremetly shy and skittish of people, but love other dogs. I can crate your animal if you prefer, but they are also free to roam around and be loved on. If your pets prefer not to be around other pets, I can block off part of my home so my dogs are separated from yours.

About: With 6 years of experience as a dedicated Chihuahua breeder, I have a deep, hands-on understanding of the physical and emotional needs of toy breeds and Small Pets. My background has provided me with a strong foundation in veterinary care principles, allowing me to offer more than just a place to stay— at my home I offer expert supervision for your furry kids. A cozy mountain home for small dogs and prioritizing safety, organic care, and retreat-style comfort. Service Specialization: • Small-breeds-only up to 12 lbs • Personalized diet , Organic, homemade treats, • Cage-free home environment for dogs. • Secure boarding for caged small pets Constraints: Sorry, I can not accept cats (experience limits). Pet care is my primary focus. I work from home in the San Bernardino mountains, which allows me to provide a 'boutique' experience with constant supervision. My routine revolves around the comfort and safety of my guests—including scheduled feedings, supervised outdoor time, and plenty of lap time. Your pet won't just be 'staying' here; they will be the center of my daily schedule in a safe, cage-free environment. My home features a secure double-entry system and a supervised, fenced patio for safe mountain air. I am dedicated to a low-stress, cage-free experience where your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every guest with the same meticulous care I gave my own litters as a breeder, providing a safe haven where your smallest family members can relax.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with females in heat, regular potty routines, and providing a balance of indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. I’m home full-time Monday–Friday and provide constant supervision. I only step out briefly (about 15 minutes) for school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I monitor pets during that time with a Furbo camera. Weekend boarding is available with advance notice! My home is cage-free with supervised free roam, but I’m happy to accommodate crates or specific care needs if that’s what your dog is used to. I also offer baths during their stay if needed. I have two friendly female Frenchies who love making new playmates, and I can also keep dogs separated if preferred. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority!

“Melissa is such a sweetheart, adaptable, and a great communicator. Her three dogs are so well behaved and socialized well! Her dogs helped my introverted dog warm up to them. My dog ate so well which means our dog felt very comfortable and she loved being outside in their fenced in front and backyard. When we come back to the area, I would definitely book again.”

About: Growing up in South Africa, going on safari was a significant part of my culture, and my love for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. After the loss of my beloved 20-year-old cat, I found joy in walking and playing with a neighbor's Husky, helping to fill that void. Currently, I don't have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will be my top priority and cherished companion until you return. I moved to the mountains five years ago and work primarily from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and care. I am very hands-on, with a wealth of love to give, and I have a natural knack for connecting with animals. My cat used to snuggle with me every night, and I can't wait to welcome more little fur-balls into my life to cuddle. My standard nightly rate includes up to 2 pets. In addition to my passion for animals, I have completed a cat and dog CPR certification course through the Red Cross, ensuring that I am prepared for unexpected situations that may arise. I also hold my own liability insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London, separate from Rover's insurance, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Furthermore, I have successfully passed an enhanced background check by a third-party provider. Animals are my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to live in the mountains, surrounded by all the beautiful wildlife. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member/s! Pets need love, security and re-assurance when their human parents are on vacation. That is why I prefer to house sit. I can also just drop in for feedings and walks if you are more comfortable with that. I will treat your fur babies with love and respect and give them lots of play and cuddle time! Your wish is my command and I will follow any special instructions or routines you may have.
About: Hello my furry friend lovers!! I have cared for many different kinds of animals in my life, some of which include dogs,cats,birds,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,fish,snakes,goats,chickens and now pot belly pigs. We love making homemade treats in our house so I am currently taking some pet nutrition classes to safely make special dietary treats. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I would be more than happy to meet you before any final decisions are made so that we can discuss everything there is to know about your pet. I have experience with different illnesses and medications from working with a rescue where I adopted my own angel with a neurological disorder. We absolutely adore pets and I can promise you that you and your baby will be treated like family. I am a stay at home wife that is taking pet nutrition and business classes so I could someday open my own pet boutique where everything is homemade. I promise no potty breaks will be missed and your baby gets all the love and cuddles they can handle. 😊 We have dogs, cats and pot belly pigs for your pet to play with in our fenced yard but we also have big crates for separation if needed. Your baby will be allowed on our furniture to sleep and get cuddles unless you say otherwise lol we do love our snuggles.

Meet Roger Roger has cared for his own dogs throughout his entire life—from bouncy puppies to beloved seniors. He’s also helped care for pets belonging to family and friends, often taking on full household responsibilities while they traveled.

“Karina was great. We got updates on all of our dog Calvin's walks, and pictures were great to have too. Calvin has a new friend and Karina definitely spoiled him with longer walks and attention. Calvin can be a bit anxious but took to Karina right away. It was comforting to know that we could count on her to take Calvin out at the prescribed times and didn't have to worry. This was Calvin's first time with a dog walker (he used to go to a pet boarding facility) and we felt he would be more comfortable staying in his own home - with Karina's help, that turned out to be just the right thing to do! In the future, we'll definitely use Karina whenever she's available!”

About: I prioritize clear, timely communication with owners and provide honest updates, photos, and notes after each visit. I have taken care of several different pets such as cats and dogs. I will always ensure the best care for the pets under my supervision. I can also keep up with high energy pets, but also provide calm energy for the pets who like to just hang around. I am currently working part time and will be attending medical school starting in the fall. My weekends are almost always free and can frequently provide overnight care during the week. I will ensure to provide clear and frequent communication with host when taking care of your pets in your home or when visiting. Trust is a priority to me when taking care of your pets so I will ensure it is earned from both your pets and from yourself.
About: I have been working with dogs and other pets for 20 years and pride myself on the way I treat them. I go above and beyond expectations to provide the utmost dilligence when caring for your loved ones. I have in depth experience with elderly dogs and can handle the largest of the all. I thrive on keeping dogs and pets of any kind happy and healthy. I am available all weekdays but I do work as a house cleaner throughout the week and have weekends off generally. I have years of experience caring for all kinds of tempers and types of dogs. From the fearful to the escape artist who just wants to adventure. I enjoy them all and care for each individual dog the same way their owners would. I work full time as a dog trainer and pet sitter. I prioritize fitting clients into my schedule while maintaining healthy balance of work and play. I have the ability to watch for 1 dog in my own , I have crates if needed and large fenced yard. I typically don’t book services that require my house to be involved as I have little kids running around and they would need to get along with my dog who is fairly friendly. I will book services in my home if absolutely necessary or emergent.
About: My experience with pets includes all types of critters ranging from two legged feathered ones, four legged scaly ones, to four legged furry ones. I'm the proud mommy of a very catty cat, and two sweet bunnies. My pets are part of my family, and that is exactly how I will treat yours as well. Having taught middle school students, I'm quite efficient at managing sometimes unpredictable schedules and different personalities. I'm very playful yet organized, and love working with all kinds of animals. I'm quite patient, and enjoy watching their personalities unfold as they get to know me better. I Have worked with old as well sick animals, so I am more than capable to handle any emergency should one occur. I can administer medications as well. My neighbor and I are both pet sitters, and we often work together as each other's backups. We also help each other with our own and our other neighbor's pet. Because of that, we offer to both come to the initial meet and greet so you can meet both of us. I generally require a meet and greet to make sure we can see if we are a match. To me, my clients are part of my extended family, and I prefer long-term clients over constantly rotating ones. Leaving pets behind is always stressful, and having a long-term relationship with a sitter makes the separation a lot easier for both the pet and the owner. As a freelance care provider and photographer, I couldn’t ask for a more rewarding way to spend my time around pets. Being able to create a flexible schedule enables me to not only spend time with my own pets and family, but also provides me with the energy to give my utmost attention and energy to your pets when they are in my care as well. I always stay at the clients house for overnight bookings, so your pets will have plenty of company. Safety and comfort are always priority. During my time as a teacher, I learned that clear communication is key to any successful relationship. I require a free meet and greet before accepting any request. The meet and greet is a great time for you, your pet, and me to get to know each other, and discuss any routines and special considerations. I also request that you provide a written list of all important information including feeding and walking schedules, and a list of emergency contacts and veterinary information. My grandmother taught me, “it’s better to be safe than sorry”, and I am grateful to take this lesson with me into my profession.
About: Hi! I'm Aileen, a 20-year-old who's always had a special place in my heart for all animals. Growing up, I was the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and I've spent many hours caring for and bonding with both. I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped with feeding, socializing, and walking the dogs, and I've fostered a few kittens, too. I'd like to think that i'm a calm and gentle person, friendly but a little reserved, so I tend to connect really well with animals. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and a safe space, and I love being part of that care. I’m currently working part time at a daycare, and going to school full time as well. Depending on my work schedule, i’m available most days after 1 pm. Whenever taking care of any animal, I make sure to keep my attention on the animal as if they were a child. I make sure to follow any requests provided by the pet owner to ensure the best service possible.
About: I love all kinds of dogs, little wild ones, big slow ones, big sporty ones. They just crack me up. I will treat your pet with the utmost love and care at all times and be communicative with you about any changes in behavior, possible issues. I've had dogs my whole life and have been doing urban pet care for almost 10 years. I clarify, cause farm dogs are a totally different animal and I wouldn't ever even try to leash one. Ha!! I look forward to hearing from you. -Kristy Most of my experience has been with my own pets. I've had cats or dogs (usually both) my entire life. Growing up on a farm they get into all kinds of trouble and frequently need special attention. I also frequently pet sit for friends, neighbors and former employers. I'm very responsible and will care for your pet as you request. No treats unless you say so and no sofa time unless that's ok with you. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs since I was a kid. I've always had animals in my life. Dogs, cats, chickens, a calf I bottle fed, horses... need I go on. Most of my dogs have been in the 60lb range. So I'm used to holding my ground and handling them when they get excited. Since I've been in LA, I have been a surrogate parent to my friend's dogs, but have had my cats Doodie (now with my ex) and Harris (my little southern girl). I also have a special gift for catching "runaway" pets when their owners can't. My experience administering medication Yes. I'm a master of the blow in the face to make them swallow their pills trick. I have also given shots before to a diabetic weenie dog.
About: I have had family dogs growing up and as well as into adulthood and around my daughter. My dog passed a couple years ago and I thought I could give back to the pet community. I have my own business so I can set my own schedule which allows me to work around the schedule that you need. My business is local on the mountain so I am up and around the area. I care for the pets the way that you need. I will ask questions and find out from you how best to care for them and their needs. I then write those details down and remember them on the follow up visits.
About: Your pup will always be in my company, since I’m always at home. Lots of outside time and walks through my neighborhood’s local forest trail. Your dog(s) will have their own space in my kitchen, separate from my dog’s personal space. I am a responsible homeschooling mother of an easy-going, 6 year old daughter ( she loves animals). I am a ‘Stay at Home’ Mom, currently homeschooling my 6 year old daughter through a fantastic charter school. I make my own schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s schedule into my own. My daughter is very well-behaved, with an easy going disposition, which makes animals love her. My husband also loves all animals, but will not be care-taking for your animals, as he is works full time. I will be the full-time caretaker of your beloved fur-friends. I have 2 portions to my property . One side is fenced on a hillside with a small astro-turfed area for potty breaks. The other side is open with a small water fall and full Astro turf. This gives dogs lots of time outside. I will also keep your dog in the kitchen, where I spend the majority of my time cooking and teaching my daughter kindergarten + computer work at the kitchen table. Your pup will also enjoy the walks around the neighborhood, which includes a lot of trees and nature.

“Thank you Allen and family for caring for Athena. Allen has great communication skills from the beginning of my booking until complete. My almost 13 year old Jack Russell was well taken care. Allen sent me multiple pictures of her 1 night stay. I will definitely use Allen again.”

“Huina was absolutely amazing with my dog Tucker! She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I got regular updates and cute photos and videos that really put my mind at ease. My pup came home relaxed and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommend!”
“Xutao and his family took really good care of our 11-yr old dog. They were so welcoming when I first dropped in. Their home and yard is well suited to care for animals. He provided updates and was very communicative during drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the stay. His kids are truly the sweetest and poured a lot of love, care, and play. I'm glad we have someone we can rely on for future stays.”
“Erika was a beyond great sitter! She not only kept me updated but asked any necessary questions to make sure everything was an easy transition and did such an awesome job at trying to keep his schedule as consistent as possible. Thank you so much for everything !”

“OOO my goodness Laura and her family are simply amazing. My rescue puppy is very human attached and they took her on walks. They cuddled her. They have a safe yard. The communication was amazing. I cannot even tell you how comfortable I was leaving my fur child with them and I will use them over and over and over again. I wish I could stay with them and have them babysit me. LOL love love love them!!!!”
“Cindy and her family were great! They kept us up to date with everything. They sent pictures periodically throughout the day. Outside of Sheba’s injury, which was no one’s fault, I would use and recommend Cindy.”
“This was our first time going to Alexis, and rather last minute for our regular sitter wasn’t available. Our fur baby Reece was very excited when we did our meet and greet so I knew he would be fine for his stay. Alexis was very attentive to my baby boy. I felt relived he was in good hands. Alexis is very professional and knows her stuff when it comes to caring for Reece. If I’m ever in need of a sitter Alexis will be it. Thank you Alexis for all you did for my Reece!”
“April did a great job with my dog. She regularly updated me and followed the list of instructions I gave her lol. I am looking forward to working with her in the future. My dog enjoyed being with her too! Thank you April!!!”
“Latie was incredibly communicative and continually assured me that my 6mo old puppy was in great hands. When Cedar met Latie it was as if she knew her and walked away with no fuss - that was a first!! It goes to show how great Latie’s energy is with our beloved animals. She also provided a crate which was a huge help for me.”
“Hugh and Mary offer a special place for dogs! They treated our pup like she was their own. They sent many pics and updates throughout her stay, and we were able to see she was getting lots of love and playtime. Will definitely use again next time we need boarding in the area!!”
“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”
