About: I've cared for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I have two cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it's feeding, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual preferences and routines.
“It was such a pleasure trusting our cat to such a caring person! She was punctual and attentive, and constantly sent photo and video updates during her visits. Our cat was happy and calm, and we could go about our business with total peace of mind. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!”
“Lisa was super easy to work with, and was flexible with her timing on checking on our cats to help maintain their normal schedule/cycle while we were away! Our cats are pretty low maintenance and it was reassuring having someone check in on them every day so we weren’t stressing during our vacation. Lisa was also proactive with her communication, letting me know if there were anything changes to the schedule, which I really appreciated.”

About: Hi I currently am an aunt to a cute grey tabi who I named Booboo with a sassy personality but grew up with large dogs in the home. I allow pets to show their personality and learn what their habits are in order to give them the best care and attention and make sure they are healthy and happy. I’m great at following any directions and will treat your pets as if they were my own
“Myla was fantastic. She came by to feed and water our cat and dog. Our cat rarely comes out for anyone but us. But the cat LOVED Myla. She sent us a bunch of both our fur babies looking happy every time she visited. Great sitter! We will definitely call on her again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received! On top of keeping to their routine and sending great updates, Jaimie went completely above and beyond when our flight home was delayed by two and a half hours. Even though she wasn't scheduled for that evening, she immediately stepped up when I texted her and ran right over to make sure our cats were fed and looked after. Reliable, attentive, and a total lifesaver!!! We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: For the past 5 years I've pet sat for family and friends, especially during the summer. Many have suggested I venture out to pet sit on the side because they love how I care for their pets. Pets are part of the family and I understand the importance of a trusting pet sitter. Your pets safety and well being will always be my priority! Hi pet parents! 🐾 To make sure I can give your fur babies the best care possible, here is a quick update on my current availability and my upcoming schedule: Current Work Days & Late-Night Walks On the days you see blocked off on my calendar, I am working my day job from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM.

Looking forward to seeing your pups and kitties soon! 😊 My priority is the safety and well being of your pet! I thoroughly review all the information provided of your pet and communicate any questions I may have. I make an effort to know feeding schedules, potty preferences and activity schedules before meeting your pet. My goal is make sure your pet feels at home with zero disruption to their routine.
“This is the second time Hector has cat sit our little guy. We were grateful he was available last minute for 3 visits, and he’s done so well following instructions. He’s also very communicative during the visits and I found that helpful. Definitely keep Hector in mind if you’re needing cat sitting. We have, and have only had super positive experiences.”
About: Grew up with having lots of family animals. I go above and beyond for your furr babies! My first dogs name was luli she is 9 years, still living happily and healthy. I now have 1 cat named luna, she is 1 year old & spayed. I’m a pet sitter for family & friends, but i’ve now decided I have enough experience to care for other peoples pets. I am on my 2nd year of college and am trying to have a little side hustle. Hoping to get lots of experience and meet new babies!
About: The first family pet o ever took care of was a calico cat named Keisha,. She had already been a member of he family for over a year before I was born so I guess it’s fair to say she took care of me for the first decade. That's the only time I can remember us having just one cat in my childhood. You've had all kinds of breeds and both indoor and outdoor cats alike. I have yet to own or take care of a Maine Coon and I sure would like to one day. I've always seemed to be the one that can get the cat to come out from hiding when no one else can.
“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.”
About: I’ve had my own cat for three years and have cared for cats my whole life. I’m experienced in feeding, cleaning litter boxes, providing companionship, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
“Our dog has been going to Laura and Brian D. regularly for daycare and occasional overnight stays since March 2025. He always has a blast when he goes there, which I’m able to see from the great photos they send me. I love that he has so much fun with such a cool group of dogs! We had an unexpected family crisis this past week, involving me to spend long stays in the emergency room. The one day of daycare I’d scheduled turned out to be a 3-night stay for our dog. Laura and Brian were so incredibly kind and supportive, making accommodations as my ER stay became longer and longer. I appreciate them so much, and am so glad I found them!”
“We were visiting LA and required a last minute sitter due to the hot weather. Edwin and his family were quick to respond and accepted Java last minute! Edwin and his family were so great! We got the updates that we wanted throughout the day and Java looked like she was having fun. Java was spoiled during her stay and even received some homemade dinner. We would definitely recommend you leave your pet with them and we would if we are back in the area.”
“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.”
“Great communication. I have a senior pet who requires a lot of special care like medicine administration, special food preparation, and diaper changes. They handled it all well. Will definitely have them dog sit again.”
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“Maria and her daughter as so incredibly sweet, kind and supportive. It was my first visit & they made me feel very comfortable and gave me updates. Communication was great!”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”
“Very pleased with Karn's doggy daycare service. My dog seemed to be in good spirits when I picked him up, and he passed out at home immediately, which makes me think he had a good time. Karn shared video of my dog in their large backyard with plenty of room to wander and socialize with the other dogs. I would definitely be happy to use Karn again to babysit my dog.”
“Thank you thank you thank you! Natalie was amazing with my dogs even the shy one of the bunch! Definitely would recommend and will definitely use her services again! ??”
“Another awesome stay for Chili! Updates throughout the day were great and they even found a toy for Chili that she couldn't destroy! Chili is already looking to schedule her next stay. Thanks again guys!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies who are still learning routines to sweet senior dogs who need patience and gentle care, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very attentive, calm, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every dog I care for. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which means I can provide consistent, reliable care any day of the week. I enjoy structuring my days around pets—making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to adapt to each dog’s routine and give them plenty of time, love, and supervision. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide calm, loving, and reliable care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease.
“Amazing! Kindness, warmth and complete kindness and super consideration! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so grateful. I’m a worried mom, as are others, but I was reassured and greatly respected. My puppy was so loved and cared for! I couldn’t ask for more. 100% recommendation.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I truly see dogs as members of the family and treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would give my own loved ones. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience teaching basic puppy commands such as sit, shake, and lie down, and I enjoy helping reinforce good habits through positive encouragement and consistency. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy during their stay. As someone who is usually home, I have a wide schedule and would be able to care for pets often, unless I have anything planned ahead which I would make sure to let pet parents know. When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Your pets will always have access to fresh water, be fed according to their normal schedule, and receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I generally keep pets indoors unless the owner specifies that their pet is accustomed to spending time outdoors. Even then, I prefer to keep pets indoors at night to ensure they stay safe, comfortable, and protected from the cold. I provide regular exercise and walks, typically 3–4 times per day depending on the pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I understand that every pet is a beloved member of the family, and I will treat yours as if they were my own, providing attentive care and ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pet!:) I help with walks, feedings, and medication, and playtime of course. I’m really patient with all kinds of pets, from puppies to older dogs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m currently in online school, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for you anytime of the week! I always pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddles, or a little space. I want to always make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, food, potty breaks, and attention. I prefer small and medium dogs.

I do have open mornings most days of the week and what better way to fill that than caring for pets! I have a gated yard and grass for your pets to run and play in. I’m very attentive to what a pet needs and understand what they are asking for.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and am a proud cat and dog mom. I have two wonderful dogs and a special-needs cat, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer at a local cat shelter, where I’ve gained experience working with cats of all temperaments. Whether your pet has lots of energy and loves long walks and playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every detail, from sticking to feeding schedules and medications to making sure your pet gets plenty of affection and enrichment. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

I find it easy to put time in my day to take care of your babies. My dog is young and has a bunch of energy, where else my cats are the opposite.

“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”
“Candy is wonderful!! Caring, loving, knowledgable. Everything you want in a caretaker when you can't be there yourself. Big house and big back yard! I'll definitely be using her again. Ruby had a good time! Thank you, Candy!!”
“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!”
“Kristian was absolutely amazing with Milo! From the start, he was communicative, kind, and clearly cared about making Milo feel comfortable. He kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Milo came home happy, well cared for, and it was obvious he had received lots of attention and love. I could tell Kristian really treats every dog like they’re his own. He’s officially my go-to sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Kayla was so sweet and took such great care of my dog! She communicated with me throughout the whole time and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she genuinely cares, and I would definitely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Zues loved his time with Carter. He was treated so well, my mom was afraid he would not want to go home with her. The smile on his face said it all. Cater played with him, sent us pictures. Some great actions shots. Our Zues is very active and loves the attention. Thank you Carter for an amazing week with Zues.”
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.
“Very last minute trip and she was ready to help 2 of my senior dogs. I did wish there were more photos and updates, but I knew they we just going to be lazy so I wasn’t too worried. Thank you so much! I appreciate it!”
