“Wowwwww!!! What a life saver you are Susana !! Thank you so much for the last minute care and the love you gave to Turbo. You were so kind and very much so easy going to the requests. Thank you for the quick responses and the pictures throughout the day. You’re so appreciated!”
“Chengcheng did a great job of sending text updates and photos daily of our pug. She is very easy to communicate with through text and we could tell that she really cares for your family as if it were her own. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing Experience! Kevin & his family treated our Ruby as if she was a member of their own family. My family was able to enjoy our trip knowing our baby was being well taken care of. We received regular updates with pictures of our Ruby having an absolute blast during her stay. She had so much fun, she almost didnt't want to come home. I would highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to board with him again in the future.”
“Our two dogs (small, Japanese Chin, one elderly) love visiting Nicole, and start getting excited on the drive there. She takes wonderful care of them, and I will always recommend her to others.”
“This was our first time dropping our puppies off with anyone. Tiffany and her family welcomed them in like they were part of their own family. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date with how they were doing. My puppies LOVED it there and loved Tiffany!! I will ask Tiffany to watch my puppies whenever possible!”
“I’m so grateful I found this family last minute from arriving in town which I live Las Vegas. I’m just beyond happy and my Snoopy was so happy. Thank you to the entire family. Very much appreciate the updates.”
“My partner and I have not taken a vacation in YEARS due to having a hard time letting go and trusting someone to watch our two babies…. We decided to book with Laura and Brian after looking at all the reviews. My other worry was my two pups have complete opposite personalities, one is loud and high energy, while the other isn’t very social (prefers humans) and does not like to play much. Laura and Brian accommodated to both personalities and gave each pup what they needed to thrive and be happy, we ended up booking for 5 nights!! I was a worried mess as we dropped off, but quickly Laura and Brian assured me to not worry as my pups will have their own vacation. They are so good about giving you updates and sending TONS of pictures of the dogs having fun with friends! I highly recommend them, I have nothing but amazing things to say! Book the trip, leave your pups with these amazing people who truly love what they do! Already planning my next trip and booking with Laura and Brian LOL! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Couldn’t be happier! Melissa & Sabatian were amazing at taking care of our French Bulldog, Kratos. The communication along with pics and video of him while we were out of state calmed our hearts as we were nervous as this was our 1st time using a pet sitter. Kratos went swimming and played so much that when we got him home he slept for hours! Thank you both again and now we know we have an amazing couple that will take care of our pup and love him while we are gone😊”
“I immediately felt so comfortable when I walked into their house, I knew my pup would be safe there. They even made her a little blanket fort because they noticed she's skittish and likes being underneath things. So sweet!”
“Communicated throughout my dogs stay, made us feel like Pepper was safe and happy. I highly recommend and im grateful for her to watch our dog when previous sitter fell through. Will rebook for future care!”
“We had such a great experience with Ilona! She took wonderful care of Sophie and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Ilona and would happily have her watch Sophie again!”
“Sarah S. was very accommodating! She was flexible with earlier drop off and pick up times and even came to the park for a meet and greet before hand. She responds to messages quickly and sent plenty of updates while we were gone. I will definitely use her again.”
“Amorn and Adam are great with our dog Leo. Leo seems to be right at home with them, and we really appreciate all the adorable photos they send! We are very grateful to have found people we can our trust with our dog and look forward to his next visit!”
“Liliana took amazing care of my dog, Brownie, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her dedication, professionalism, and kindness. From the very start, she showed genuine warmth and a true love for animals, immediately putting Brownie (and me!) at ease. She went above and beyond in every way—making sure Brownie was well-fed, exercised, and showered with affection. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never had to worry about how he was doing while I was away. It was clear that she treated Brownie like her own dog, giving him not just attention, but real companionship. When I returned, Brownie was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, trustworthy, and caring, and I’m truly grateful to have found Liliana. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Jin & Brian cared for Lady so well for two day overnight stay! She came home so happy 😀 recommended for sure! Thanks so much again! Made our getaway very enjoyable since we did not have to worry about our sweet girl!”
“Had our 5 month old golden doodle stay with Robert for an entire week while we were out on vacation and we feel great that our pup was very well taken cared of. Robert sent us daily videos and photos without even asking. He was also given walks and played with other dogs that Robert was caring for. Thank you again Robert for making sure our pup was well fed, happy and taken cared of while we were away! We won’t hesitate to send our pup there again! ?”

Cat caregivers near you - Russ
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and have experience with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m very comfortable with shy, independent, affectionate, senior, and more particular cats, and I understand that earning a cat’s trust often means giving them space and letting them come to you. I pay close attention to normal routines, appetite, litter box habits, behavior, and any subtle changes that may indicate a cat isn’t feeling like themselves. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding instructions, administering routine care as directed, keeping litter areas clean, and maintaining the home while you’re away. Because I work remotely as a bookkeeper and tax preparer, I’m often able to spend much more time in the home than someone who is gone at work all day. I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship of cats and am just as happy giving cuddles to a social cat as I am peacefully sharing space with one who prefers a little more independence.
“Amanda is awesome! She was very attentive and followed instructions precisely. She was also great at communicating every detail and asked for guidance whenever she faced an issue we hadn't addressed. I highly recommend her, and will use her again!”
“Thank you alaina for taking care of my little kitty for 4 days. I will definitely book with you again in the future. I also enjoyed reading every word you wrote in the note section describing the care chanel had with you. I can tell you truly love animals ❤️”
“Perla was amazing taking care of my two cats. I was gone for two weeks, she kept up with communication, pictures, and how my cats were doing. Even though the initial booking was for once a day drop in visits, she was able to accommodate and do drop in visits twice daily instead, on request. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
About: I have had cats all my life and have experience with sitting for the cats of others as well. Currently I have 4 cats at home along with other animals, I enjoy caring for animals. I look forward to helping with your pet and all their needs!
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.
About: Hi there! My name is Lukasz Paul and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and my Belgian Malinois. I also helped my parents with their pet sitting business in Santa Clarita. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! I’m working, so the days I added that are available, have to be either requested Later at night or very early in the morning. My work schedule does change week by week. So it does depend on my schedule on when I am available. My main job, at home is to show love and appreciation towards my dog. When she does something good, I treat her. Doing this will help her to understand me better.
“She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.”
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“Shannon took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. She was kind and calm, which made them feel comfortable immediately. Especially the more nervous one! She was receptive every time we reached out and always sent us sweet pictures so we knew our fur babies were happy and healthy. We will definitely book with her next time we go out of town!”
About: I have fostered and housed many kitties in need and found them great homes, I’m a kitty girl and I love them so much! I have 3 kitties of my own and I’m always the number one person my family and friends will call to come baby sit their animals ever since I was 15 :)
About: I have 2 wonderful dogs myself so I understand wanting the best for your little friends. When it comes to caring for a pet it is very important that they be comfortable and have trust with the carer. I can provide a gentle touch like no other to make your furry friends feel loved and safe while you are away. For pet/house sitting it is best to meet before hand to make sure that the animal understands that you trust me so it's okay for them to trust me as well. I can provide as many walks and potty breaks and the dogs need to be comfortable. I do require 24 hours notice for all cancellations. Walks start at 30 minutes per walk at $10 a walk for non holidays
“My husband and I hired Kimberly a second time for an entire week while we were traveling. I knew from the first time that my 2 cats would be in excellent hands. She came twice a day to clean the litter, feed them, and make sure they had fresh water. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail, take out the trash on “trash” day and wash all the cat dishes so we didn’t come home to a mess. Her service was impeccable. Her daughter was with her which made my cats even a little more spoiled by the extra attention they received. Please don’t hesitate to hire Kimberly. We highly recommend her and will reach out again for any future travel needs.”

“Susana was very welcoming and accommodating with our schedule. We were kept up to date with our pups activities with photos and massages. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her visit. We are happy to have found Susana and hope our pup can visit with her in the future. Thank you Susana!”
“Sarah took great care of my pup and was so nice too! She really went above and beyond to make her comfortable. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely bring my pup back. Thank you, Sarah!”

About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love and treat them as my own children. They are a man’s best friend. They light up your day and take the stress away. I daily take them out on walks and feed accordingly. I am a stay at home mom with 20 plus retail Experience. I have decided to retire from sales. Now my focus is taking care of your pets if you are out of town, need a day sitter, etc. I have a fenced back yard, but I never allow pets out there unless I am beside them. I walk dogs on a leash. Play with them throughout the day.
“Laura and Brian are amazing. LUNA’s first experience was great. She suffers from separation anxiety and it is the first time she is in daycare. They welcomed her with open arms. I am grateful for their updates and pictures. I will definitely return when needed.”
About: Hello! My name is Ana! I can help with boarding, day care and dog training (basic obedience, behavioral modification, socialization, potty training, desensitization etc.) I love working with dogs and have been doing it for a long time. I live in a house with a lot of space for different activities. Whether your dog is crate trained, roams the house, has special needs or on medication I can adjust to your pup’s needs. I want to provide the best care for your animals while you’re away. You will receive plenty of picture updates and a happy pooch in the end. Please message me with any concerns or questions! Thank you! I work from home, therefore I have plenty of time dedicated to the pups staying in my care. I do dog sport competitions, so might not be available some weekends. Dogs are never left unattended! Temperaments are matched for play time and socialization. Overnight dogs stay in crates to ensure a calm and safe space for each pup.
“Our Bailey had such a wonderful time with Montanna and her family 💖. We needed a last minute sitter and Montanna responded very quickly and graciously invited Bailey to spend the day with them. She sent updates and adorable pictures throughout the day as well. 1000% recommended Montanna!”
“Chengcheng did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. She went on multiple walks, took her to the park, and even sent pictures of my babe throughout the day so I always knew what they were doing together. I highly recommend Chengcheng for any service she offers, you can rest assured your baby is in good hands.”
About: I have grown up with and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I both love dogs and hope to meet yours! My wife and I both work full time from home. We are home during the day at minimum 90%. We have a house with no kids and no other pets. We can provide as much attention to your dog as needed! I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.
“Llona was wonderful. She responded very quickly to my last minute request. My dog definitely perceives the vibe of people and as soon as he met her he happily ran into her home. She sent me photos of her boys playing with our dog...he loves children and you can see they are dog lovers too. She was in good communication while caring for our dog which of course made me feel comfortable...no worry on my part. Funny enough dropping your dog off to a stranger is like dropping your child off ...you want to know they are well cared for and that they feel safe and of course have fun. I would give it an A+ day for his first visit with Llona. And we will def use her again and recommend her!”
About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“Areli is FAB! Wow. Lily was cozy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Absolutely wonderful experience having Areli care for my sweet baby. Will def book again! ✨✨✨♥️”
“My dog had an awesome time! Dina sent me a picture to update me on how she was doing during the day which I appreciated. I will definitely be rebooking for daycare or boarding.”
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines. I currently care for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home and closely supervise all pets at all times. I create a calm, secure environment and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
“Melisa was amazing, offered to even meet prior to the arrangement and took wonderful care of our pup. We will be using her in the future, glad we found her. Very responsive and flexible.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember! Love meeting all of them and can't wait to meet your little bud! I make my own schedule, so for the most part I'm available when needed (with proper planning for longer visits of course.) Feel free to reach out when you need a hand! My pup is on pretty good schedule, so I'm know the importance of keeping those scheduled feedings and/or outside time. If we need walks, someone to throw a ball to get the zoomies out or just someone to hang with so they're not alone all day I'm in!
“Maria and Michael were fantastic with our Cho-Cho. They made sure she felt as welcomed and comfortable as she could be, and that we were constantly updated with pictures and videos of her activities throughout her stay. Even their two fur babies, Luna and Abby, were also welcoming of Cho. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve had private clients over the past two years consistent of house sitting and dog walking. Moving to a new area and switching to Rover to meet new pets to care for. I currently have open weekends and work a 9/80 schedule allowing me to be off every other Friday and available to help your pets! I provide attentive, loving care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring safety, clean environments, regular exercise, fresh water, meals, medication support, and consistent communication with owners.
“Great communication with lots of pictures of bacon on walks. She really took care of him like he was her own dog. I will definitely be requesting more walks from Alyssa.”
“This was the first time with Trinity and she did a great job! Came when expected. Walked Bella, sent pictures and texted how it went afterwards. I feel very confident leaving my girls with her.”
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”

The animal and the owner needs to be comfortable with leaving me with their pet!
About: Hi, I’m Josselyn! 🐾❤️ Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a BIG deal. You want to know they're safe, loved, and with someone who can handle them in all aspects. That's exactly what I'm here for! I especially love working with active, playful, and high energy dogs who need more than just a quick walk around the block. I'm comfortable handling big personalities, lots of energy, and dogs who need plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I'll meet them where they are. If you looked in my car, you’d probably find a bag of dog food, extra water, treats, and a leash because helping animals isn’t something I turn on and off; it’s simply who I am. Some of the most meaningful moments for me have been watching an animal go from scared, hungry, or unsure to safe, happy, and loved. That’s when I realized caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s something that comes naturally to me. Along with caring for my own dogs and cats, I’ve also provided dog walking and pet sitting for others. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. Whether your pup is shy and needs time to warm up, playful and full of energy, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to understand them and make them feel comfortable. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks, jogging, hiking, or getting their energy out, I’ll happily keep up! If they prefer a slower, relaxed walk with plenty of sniffing and attention, I’m just as happy to go at their pace. Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be personalized to who they are. What truly sets me apart is that I don’t see this as just a job. I was caring for animals long before joining Rover. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When you trust me with your pet, my goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Because to me, they’re not “just pets.” They’re family. 🐾❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it's something I truly enjoy. I currently work two part-time jobs, which gives me a flexible schedule with availability most mornings, afternoon, evenings, and weekends. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxing walk, an active run, or just some extra love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs while providing dependable, consistent service you can count on. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's consistent and personalized. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands.
About: I grew up with pets and currently have my own pets, teaching my daughter proper responsibility and behavior with animals. We fully incorporate them into our family, and love and care for all living things! We love pets! I work a very flexible schedule, working a max of 3 days a week. I find at least 45 minutes a day to walk my pets so understand the need for animals to get out of the house, sniff, potty, and see new environments during the day. Our pets are fully incorporated into our home and our family. They are allowed inside, get at least one walk a day, but strive for 2, their health is maintained and prioritized, and Safety for my pets, other peoples pets, and the owners is always a priority.
“Sarah is wonderful with my dog Nala. I think Nala looks forward to her walks with her. It helps to have someone reliable to come by and spend time with Nala while I am at work.”
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
About: I have cared for animals on my ranch in Acton, CA for over 30 years. I get along well with them because of the mutual trust and respect developed between us. I am adept at maintaining safe, clean living environments and noticing any problems which may crop up. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds of different ages and also have a great method for obedience training. I can provide information on this as agreed to between the owner and myself. I have one dog of my own at the moment. She is a rescue, and I know her particular needs. The same would be true of your dog/s. Each enclosure on my ranch is basically a huge corral with shelter attached. Dogs can exercise themselves and seek shelter whenever they want. I am also able to keep them indoors provided they are housebroken and reasonably well behaved. I can give medications and provide personalized care as needed. Services provided include the following? -Lots of private space for each dog -Dedicated care plans for senior dogs or those needing medications -Large tree-abundant yards. No cages -Leash walk and play time -In-door stays available when dictated by the weather -Social activities with other dogs given they are compatible with each other -Regular photo updates and videos I'd love to meet you and your dog. Let's schedule a meet and greet to become acquainted. Carole I'm am available for boarding on both weekends and weekdays. Since I am retired, this means I can check in on your dogs boarded at my facility on a regular basis. My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.
“Lukasz is at home with shepherds and Marley looks forward to her walks. He is super quick on the draw to answer back and very enthusiastic and earnest. If you need to have your dog walked while you are back in the office please consider Lukasz~esp. in the Sierra Estates neighborhood!”

About: Hi I’m Brenda! I’m a twenty eight year old college graduate that has a special care for animals especially feline and dog friends. I am very caring and nurturing when it comes to pets as I am attentive towards what they need. If they need medication administered, food given at a certain schedule, daily walks in order to increase physical activity, or even detailed washing I am your helper! I do have prior personal experience coming from my dogs named Chestnut and Prince (both Chihuahua’s) I had helped raised mostly all their lives. They have both crossed the rainbow bridge unfortunately and I do miss them very much. We do have two dogs now Camilla and Luna whom I love very much. I had also babysat feline’s as well. I like to proper feed animals in a timely manner and being communicative towards the owners advising them of any updates from their fur babies. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I board all weekend yes and also every weekday after noon. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and attend to their activities/diet needs.

“Amazing Experience! Kevin & his family treated our Ruby as if she was a member of their own family. My family was able to enjoy our trip knowing our baby was being well taken care of. We received regular updates with pictures of our Ruby having an absolute blast during her stay. She had so much fun, she almost didnt't want to come home. I would highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to board with him again in the future.”
“This was our first time dropping our puppies off with anyone. Tiffany and her family welcomed them in like they were part of their own family. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date with how they were doing. My puppies LOVED it there and loved Tiffany!! I will ask Tiffany to watch my puppies whenever possible!”
“My partner and I have not taken a vacation in YEARS due to having a hard time letting go and trusting someone to watch our two babies…. We decided to book with Laura and Brian after looking at all the reviews. My other worry was my two pups have complete opposite personalities, one is loud and high energy, while the other isn’t very social (prefers humans) and does not like to play much. Laura and Brian accommodated to both personalities and gave each pup what they needed to thrive and be happy, we ended up booking for 5 nights!! I was a worried mess as we dropped off, but quickly Laura and Brian assured me to not worry as my pups will have their own vacation. They are so good about giving you updates and sending TONS of pictures of the dogs having fun with friends! I highly recommend them, I have nothing but amazing things to say! Book the trip, leave your pups with these amazing people who truly love what they do! Already planning my next trip and booking with Laura and Brian LOL! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Couldn’t be happier! Melissa & Sabatian were amazing at taking care of our French Bulldog, Kratos. The communication along with pics and video of him while we were out of state calmed our hearts as we were nervous as this was our 1st time using a pet sitter. Kratos went swimming and played so much that when we got him home he slept for hours! Thank you both again and now we know we have an amazing couple that will take care of our pup and love him while we are gone😊”
“I immediately felt so comfortable when I walked into their house, I knew my pup would be safe there. They even made her a little blanket fort because they noticed she's skittish and likes being underneath things. So sweet!”
“Communicated throughout my dogs stay, made us feel like Pepper was safe and happy. I highly recommend and im grateful for her to watch our dog when previous sitter fell through. Will rebook for future care!”
“We had such a great experience with Ilona! She took wonderful care of Sophie and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It was clear that Sophie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Ilona and would happily have her watch Sophie again!”
“Sarah S. was very accommodating! She was flexible with earlier drop off and pick up times and even came to the park for a meet and greet before hand. She responds to messages quickly and sent plenty of updates while we were gone. I will definitely use her again.”
“Basilio took excellent care of my Xerxes. From the first meet and greet with him and his dog, he is very friendly, knowledgeable, communicative and caring. Provided daily updates, walked and played with him. Will definitely use him again”
“Alexis was fabulous. 10 stars. This was the first time using the app and she was the first person I found. She was very responsive and we had very clear communications. The first day my two pups went to her house they were clearly not happy when I dropped them off but then I started getting photos of how well they were integrating. She walked them, loved them and when I took them back the second day they were reaching for her when I went to go hand her the dogs. She had a clean home and the experience was just amazing. I would highly recommend Alexis for all your doggy needs. She was great.”
“A very nice family who took great care of our two pups. They sent us lots of photos, and the dogs looked very happy in all of them. I think they were even a little sad to leave 😆 Will board with them again in the future!”
“Stacy went above and beyond with our dog Balu. She is the best sitter we could asked for. Stacy sent daily updates with pictures and videos and is very responsive. She love dogs and you can feel a positive and welcoming vibe at her home. We definitely recommeded her 100% and hope to do more boardings with her in the future. Thank You for the gift Stacy! We truly appreciate it. ??”
“Melissa is always so accommodating and willing to host Kylo even if it’s a last minute request. She really treats him as one of her own doggies, always spoiling him with lots of cuddles, treats, and multiple walks throughout the day. She also sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day to put your mind at ease! Thank you Melissa, Kylo can’t wait for his next stay with you!”
“Elizabeth was kind and professional. She kept us updated on Akira's progress during the three days she had her via pictures and text messages. She provided a loving family environment for Akira.”
“Henry was happy at Jane's resident. He got along well with her, her dog and family. Her husband gave Henry special attention at night because Henry did not want to be in a separate room at night so he slept in same room as Henry. Jane has a yard that Henry enjoyed with her dog. Jane and her husband were sweet and we did a meet and greet before drop off. Jane was able to take care of Henry's special diet restrictions. I would use Jane again:)”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Hasmik is wonderful, she sends me photos everyday to ensure that my dog is happy and exercising. I can tell her and her family loves my dog. I’ve had her dog sit multiple times and trust her.”
