“Albina was awesome,and helpful at short notice. This was my first time getting a sitter for Luna and I was really worried and sad to have her gone. Albina really helped me feel more at ease,and I really appreciatef that.”
“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:)”
“Amazingly attentive and communicative! We received pics and updated the whole time and felt 100% confidence our pup was well cared for. We are very lucky to have found Michelle and appreciate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice during a holiday weekend.”
“Great with my dog Austin, felt like I left him with family the way I got daily updates and occasional photos. I’m glad I found a home away from home for my soul dog”
“Lisa was an amazing dog sitter! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care and enjoyed the frequent updates and pics she sent. Would definitely rebook!”
“We live several hours away and needed someone to watch our pup while we went on a cruise. I searched for someone and found Yulia! She had experience with dogs, she has no dogs, she takes one client at a time plus dogs are allowed on the bed. PERFECT 👌 Yulia knew how hard it was for me to leave Taco. His first time. She sent photos right away! She let me know how he was feeling and how he did throughout the day and night. We had awesome communication during his stay plus photos and videos. They truly helped me. He went on long walks and received a lot of loving from both Julia and her husband. Mr. Taco also learned a new trick!! She taught him to lay down! I'm truly thankful and grateful to have found Yulia. I hope she's available when I need her next! I may change my schedule to fit hers! Warm hugs. ❤️”
“Fantastic pet sitter who took exceptional care of my cat! She sent plenty of photos throughout the stay and it was clear my cat was happy and comfortable. Very attentive and professional - would highly recommend Irina’s services to any pet owner.”
“Shahane took great care of our dog, Alto! She was very communicative and made sure to provide daily updates and photos of him having fun. They have a wonderful and clean backyard space for many dogs. We would love to board him again. He was so happy!”
“Barbara was amazing with Sherman! He is always a bit shy at the start and she was very understanding. He warmed up super fast and had a great visit!! If we are in the area again, we will absolutely use Barbara to watch Sherman!”
“Tamar was fantastic! She was very responsive and asked great questions before watching my dog Rus. She sent a ton of photos while Rus was with her, and I could tell he was super comfortable and having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Tamar!”
“I think this was the best boarding experience we’ve ever had! Bowie had a blast with Sojeong, he literally had his own nye party with her and her amazing family :) we are very thankful for how great they took care of him! We got tones and tones of pictures and videos. We will for sure leave Bowie with her any time we are in LA! Thank you so much Sojeong, you did an amazing job ❤️”
“Dan is a Dog Whisperer. He always makes my little hero Pirate one of the pack in his pooch-friendly home. We’ve left Pirate with him before, but this was for 17 days. Pirate had such a good time with Dan and his dogs that when we reunited today, Pirate gave me kind of a side eye that said, “Hey, I like hanging out here. No rush to come home.” Seriously though, Dan has a very warm, calming presence and we’ll call on him again! Thank you!”
“Greg was an absolute incredible sitter for our senior dog Jack! We needed someone last minute and Greg was so accommodating and flexible. He'll be on our short list for sitters moving forward for sure”
“Leah does a great job taking care of our fur babies. She is always attentive and keeps me up to date with messages and pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“Michael took very good care of my 10 week old Lab. Such a short notice to. I am very greatfull and will use his service any other time that we might need. Thank you Michael! 😊”
“This was our first time leaving Lucky with anyone. We met sherice and her kids before we left for our trip. They made us feel very comfortable . Lucky was very happy and so were we . I would definitely use them again. Since I can't give them more than five stars I'll add my own. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

“Casey was awesome! I had to schedule her house sit last minute and she was super responsive, on time, and communicated super fast with me. We had a meet and greet to see if my cat would be ok with her dog (which I wasn't sure how he would react to dogs and Bella was lovely and is super-highly trained). She stayed with us during the meet and greet until I was comfortable with their interaction (my cat wasn't a fan but they did well enough for me to feel comfortable and knowing he wouldn't be super stressed) and she answered all my questions. She kept me informed (with pictures) every day on their day-to-day and was super respectful of and attentive to my cat's special needs. Kobe needs a balanced diet with many supplements and a strict medicine schedule and she took amazing care of him. My apartment was also super tidy and clean when I returned. I'm beyond relieved I can trust Kobe with Casey in the future with no worries! Thank you so much, Casey!!”
“Ru is so kind and loving with our cats, they immediately accepted her into their tribe 😻. Her communication is great, and she was very accommodative when my schedule changed at the last minute. Ru is our “go to” cat sitter. Thanks!!!”
About: I used to have cats when I was younger, but I became allergic to them over time. I love them so much though, so I will often play with them when given the chance. Cats have often warmed up to me easily. Since I have a decent understanding of their communication style, I'm able to respect their space and approach/handle them well.
“Hannah is such a reliable and kind animal-lover, I feel 100% confidence leaving my four cats in her care, even if three of them are kittens and it's a bit of a rambunctious household at the moment. She was super communicative and quick to respond. She also left the house possibly cleaner than I had left it, so that was supremely appreciated after returning home from a busines trip. I recommend her wholeheartedly and hope to be able to book her again for future trips!”
“Tomoko was a great pet sitter for my senior cat. She is very kind, generous, and accommodating, and my cat was genuinely cared for while i was away. She sent very detailed updates and took great pictures. I felt so safe that my cat was in her capable hands and I will gladly book her services again next time.”
“I was so impressed with Michelle and Liz. They played with my (very active) cat and I was never worrried for a moment. I felt like my cat was being taken care of by a friend. This was the first time I left my cat alone with ANYONE and I was very nervous about how she would do but I got pictures of her cuddling and playing with Michelle and Liz and I felt so relieved every day. I would definitely use them again. They were a godsend.”
“Karen saved the day again! I reached out to her last minute, right before the holidays and she was able to fit in drop-ins for my two kitties. She always sends great updates for my girls and will even make sure to get pictures of one of my kitties, Loretta, that loves to hide under my bed. She always goes the extra mile. 😊”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. My family had Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers, and later I adopted a mixed-breed dog of my own. Having my own dog taught me that every pup is different. Some are immediately affectionate and trusting, while others need a little more patience and time before they feel safe with someone new. I learned how important it is to pay attention to their cues, respect their boundaries, and let trust build naturally. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their person is away. I work remotely as a brand designer, so pet care fits very naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and already take regular breaks to get outside and walk, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. My schedule also gives me the flexibility to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I like to take the time to let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow the care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any little routines that help your dog feel at home. When caring for a dog in my apartment, they’ll have a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned space and plenty of company since I work from home. When staying in a client’s home, I’m equally mindful and respectful of both their pet’s routine and their space. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“We are so grateful for the care that Sojeong and her family gave to our brand new kitten. She was very responsive and sent us adorable updates, videos and pictures. Our little Moira was quite spoiled!!!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of our two cats when we were gone for a week. She stopped by every day at the same time and sent updates and photos. She was very amenable to taking in the mail and putting our trash cans back after trash day, which I appreciated. Would definitely request her again.”
“Nathan did a great job taking care of our kitty. He bonded well with our cat and even brought down his own hand vacuum to clean up around the litter box. We will call on him again.”
“Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!”

About: We are not ready to own a pet full time just yet but I would love to help other owners with their pets. I do have children my youngest being 6 so they do have to be children friendly but I also have a safe space your pet can be separate from them when they want or need to be. I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life as well as worked taking care of, full time, a rescue that consisted of 16 cats, 5 dogs and 5 horses. So I am very familiar with animals and their needs. This is the first time I have not had a pet in my life which is why I decided to join this app. Hope to see you and your pets soon!! I am a licensed real estate agent and mother to three beautiful children. I am available at various times to watch and care for your pets. I love to be outdoors and going for walks. I live in an apartment complex, in the building that sits in the back. I have open space and an outdoors community area where your pet can go for a walk or use the bathroom. I also am comfortable working in others homes with respect to their belongings and personal preferences.
About: ~ I consider myself a compassionate caretaker in as much as I do. ~ * Although I have only had two dogs of my own: a Spaniel-mix (rescue) & Terrier-mix (from a litter) I took upon a role of part-time caretaker, by helping to feed, walk, and bathe our dogs. I enjoyed using a k9sportsack to carry our smaller pup on extended hikes when terrain was tough. I hope that your pet can enjoy their time with my family and myself - as I believe we are keen to sense a pet's basic needs. Personally, I know of fun &/or calm places to take pets on brief outings outdoors, including trails &/or parks. I also take time to clean up along the way, or afterwards. Please feel free to browse my Facebook (Max Allan Mosesman) or Instagram profile (maxmosesman) where I post my most frequented routes, travels, & hobbies. If your pet does end up booking a stay with us (please schedule a Meet & Greet beforehand in order to meet us and our environment so that we can best prepare for your pet's booking as per their individual needs & preferences). Our home is small to medium sized, and good for up to 1-2 pets maximum (if they are already house trained), to take naps within, and/or sleep overnight. Our Backyard, half-grass/half-patio is also on the small to medium scale, with fencing on all three sides. The outdoor yard has side access (to a Garage) with two gates (one is removeable) along the way. Both front & back yards contain flowers, herbs, and fruit-bearing trees that you or your pet may find pleasant to be around. Currently, we are only accepting small to medium sized dogs that are already well-trained & socialized. If this description matches what you are looking for - then we hope to help you and your pet out soon enough! I currently work/volunteer part-time - which gives me about every other morning to take your dog outside on a specific hike (if deemed suitable & appropriate), as well as check in on them throughout the day for basic feeding and breaks in the backyard. Currently we have five members to our household, and each person does a part to help out with boarding pets, which includes some combination of feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and 'light' grooming. We are open to any & all suggestions that specifically pertain to your pet and will to our best to make adjustments accordingly.

“Sojeong and her parents took excellent care of our 2 reactive pups! My family and I dropped off our furbabies for daycare before heading to Universal Studios. Zoe is usually afraid of boys/men but she surprisingly had no problem walking with Sojeong's father! We were able to enjoy our time at Universal Studios without our furbabies because they appeared to be in good hands. Sojeong was incredibly patient and responsive. She provided multiple status, photo and video updates throughout their stay. My family and I highly recommend Sojeong, and we will book with Sojeong again the next time we're in town! 😊”

“Charlie has been staying with Sevan on a consistent basis for daycare for over a month and I can already see the improvements in his behavior. Sevan has been working with him to correct some behavioral issues. I can tell how passionate Sevan is about what he does and Charlie much prefers Sevan’s care to a daycare facility. So it’s a win-win!”
“Lisa and Michelle are the BEST sitters for our dogs. Our dogs always enjoy their time playing, snacking, and resting with their lovely pack. Thank you thank you!”
“Jessica was AMAZING with my dog Daisy! Daisy is usually very shy and doesn’t approach strangers but she ran to Jessica as soon as she saw her and was very excited to spend the day with her. Such a great sign! Jessica also took Daisy to the park which I really appreciate! I would 100% book again ?”
“Lisa took great care of our dogs on Christmas Day, allowing us to host without worrying about a dog escaping or eating dropped food. Thanks so much, Lisa!”
About: I’ve always had pets at home, so caring for animals is a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet with the same care and love I give my own. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give pets the time and attention they need. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable by following their routine, keeping a clean space, and giving them gentle, attentive care with love and respect.
“Gina is amazing at what she does! My dog Patli truly blossomed and opened up with Gina and the rest of the pups in the best way! Great communicator and always making sure your pups are seen and taken care of in their needs!”
About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.
“The house is so clean and well set up and the owner really loves the dogs she looks after. Thoroughly recommend Shahane and family for day care and drop offs. They are very flexible with time as well!”
“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”
“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”
About: Welcome to Sung & So Pet Care! Our family, including our beloved Cocker Spaniel Sunny, provides a cage-free, loving home for dogs. With over 4 years of experience caring for various breeds, we follow each dog’s routine closely and ensure every pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, just like Sunny enjoys every day. I stay at home every day, making food and taking care of the dogs. My husband goes to work every day and my son goes to school in the morning and goes home to do other activities. On his free time, he usually plays games or plays with the dogs. I care for pets in a safe, calm, and loving environment where they are treated like family. In my home, dogs stay in a cage-free space and are supervised throughout the day. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also reinforce basic manners and leash etiquette during walks. Upon request, I provide homemade meals or treats once a day in addition to their regular food, and for long-term stays, I offer bathing services. To ensure a healthy environment, all pets must be up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and on regular flea prevention. I require advance booking and strongly recommend a meet-and-greet visit before care begins so pets can feel comfortable and adjust well. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always safety, consistency, and giving each pet the same love and attention I give my own. 🐶💛
About: Hello, my name is Charlie! I have been a dog owner for 13+ years and recently said goodbye to my best friend. I have missed having a dog around and started pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely loved it. I have a house in Glendale with a fenced in backyard in a very safe neighborhood. So whether it's a day time visit or a fortnight stay, I have exactly what you need. My top priority is SAFETY and I will watch your dog like a hawk while they are with me. I know the hardest part of travel is leaving your pet with a stranger so I strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. I am a part time actor and have a very open schedule so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I love to cuddle on the couch, take walks around the neighborhood or play in the yard. Please let me know if you have any questions for concerns, thanks! I am a part time actor so I have a lot of free time waiting around for auditions haha! I typically spend some time at the gym but otherwise I am home all day and available for your pets! I have a fenced-in backyard in a very safe, walkable, neighborhood. My top priority is safety and I promise to keep a close eye on your dog especially when outdoors. I have no other pets in the home so they will get all my focus and attention and I do not invite others over while your pets are here, so there will absolutely be no strangers around them. Happy to accommodate any special requests (medications, vet visits, feeding requirements, necessary lullabies lol)
About: Trust your beloved pets to a mature, responsible adult. I enjoy a loyal following of repeat clientele because my clients understand that I can be trusted both with their beloved pets and with their homes. We can board up to two dogs at one time, but they must be from the same family home. I am a successful small business owner and I work out of my home. I live within convenient probity proximity to downtown Glendale and the 134 freeway. Each visiting dog may arrive with a bed, blanket, toys or anything else you think necessary for them to enjoy a sense of stability and security. If requested, we're happy to send updates, pictures and videos to assure you that all is well with your pet. Being away from a home can be a stressful situation for any pet, and we do our best to keep your pet calm and comfortable during their stay.
“Awesome spur of the moment stay. Daria’s can-do attitude and multiple photos throughout the visit allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. We will look no farther for the perfect petsitter the next time we visit Glendale…we found Daria!!! Many thanks from Chula Cholula’s family 💗”

“Tomoko has been walking my dog for almost a month now and she’s so awesome! The minute we met for the meet and greet, her kindness and warmth shone through, putting both me and my pup at ease :) she’s very responsible through texts, always punctual, and ensures my pup gets his walk without a fail. If you’re looking for someone who loves animals and will take good care of them it’s Tomoko! ❤️”
About: I've taken care of dogs for a long time. Extended family members have dropped off their pets with me when they are away on holiday. I enjoy playing with them. Typically I walk my dog, Mochi, once in the afternoon. Sometimes I play fetch with her around noon if she's up for it. I feed her on schedule daily. I have a large fenced yard and one friendly dog who will enjoy a playmate, as you may see in the first photo of Mochi with the pavers and grass. I make sure that there is always fresh water available for Mochi and that she gets regular outdoor breaks.
“We have had a family loss and Michelle and Elizabeth have been great about being there for our dog and being a little flexible when we had last minute booking changes.”
“Our dog Bennie loves his walks with Emin. Emin is very chill, easy going and friendly. He gets the job done and is very reliable. This is our second booking with Emin and we will 100% use him again.”

I am a freelance artist, so I am open to walking at anytime during the work week and can arrange my work schedule around a pups needs! I have a fenced yard and one 2 year old Aussie shepherd at home, who is fully trained and loves to be active and play ball!
“This was our first time using Rover and Chloe made us feel super comfortable. The communication was great and it looked like Shorty had a great time. Would 10/10 have Chloe watch our pup again!”

About: I have hands on experience raising two energetic and loyal German Shepherds. I offer a balanced approach to care, with focus on creating an stress-free , fun and safe environment. I’m currently working in La Crescenta from Monday- Friday 7:30am-4:00pm so I have all afternoons free to walk or drop in on your pets while you’re away. I can also do a quick drop in from 11:30am- 12:30pm At the moment I can not care for pets in my home but in a clients home I would get clear instructions from the client for house rules, feedings, medications, etc. Get to know the home and routines of the pets and have emergency contacts to call.
About: Hi! I'm Michelle, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, sniffing every tree on the block, or simply relaxing with company, my goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and excited every time we're together. I also believe pet parents deserve peace of mind, so I always strive to communicate clearly and keep owners updated while their pets are in my care. Experience with Dogs: I have spent the last six years walking dogs several days a week, working with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've become especially comfortable helping anxious or fearful dogs build confidence while keeping safety my top priority. I'm especially attentive to leash safety, reading body language, and adjusting each walk to the dog's comfort level to ensure they feel ready to explore outdoors. Senior Dog Care: I also have several years of experience caring for senior dogs with mobility issues, hearing and vision loss, allergies, and medication needs. This taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of adapting care to each dog's individual needs. Senior pets often communicate through subtle changes in behavior, and I pride myself on noticing shifts in their temperament, mobility, appetite, energy levels, comfort, or daily routines so I can respond with calm and appropriate care. Training & Enrichment: I enjoy keeping pets mentally engaged through positive reinforcement, interactive play, and enrichment activities that match their personality and energy level. Whether we're practicing simple cues, playing a favorite game, exploring something new, or simply enjoying quality one-on-one time, I love creating positive experiences that help pets feel happy, engaged, and confident. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routines, and getting to know those little things is honestly one of my favorite parts of this work. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and excited to see me each time we meet. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. While Fridays and Saturdays may fill up more quickly due to existing commitments, I always do my best to accommodate new requests whenever possible. If you're unsure about availability, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see what I can do! Safety is always my highest priority, whether I'm caring for pets in your home or out on a walk. I make a point to stay aware of our surroundings, watching for potential hazards, changes in behavior, and anything that may cause a pet stress or discomfort. I pay close attention to body language and know that even subtle changes in posture, movement, appetite, energy, or demeanor can be important. I also understand that every pet has different routines, boundaries, and comfort levels. My goal is to respect those routines while creating an environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I believe clear communication with pet parents is just as important, so I always keep owners updated and will never hesitate to reach out if something seems out of the ordinary. At the end of every visit, my hope is that your pet feels happier, more comfortable, and excited for the next time we spend together.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was a teenager. I have a deep love of animals and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m currently working freelance and can generally work my schedule around your petsitting needs. I’m available for house/pet sitting, walks and feedings, attention giving and playing and everything in between. I’m a pet parent to a cat named Rio who is the love of my life. I’ve owned both dogs and cats throughout my life and I love both dearly. I’m tall and strong enough to handle and walk large dogs and am always very gentle with smaller dogs and cats.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I've grown up with dogs all my life, sometimes with 5 in the house at a time. Along with taking care of my own dogs, I began dog sitting and dog walking for family members and family friends when I was 15. I love making dogs happy, getting them out of the house on walks, playing tug of war with them, or just cuddling on the couch. I am a full time college student taking mainly online classes so I have a good amount of availability. I am available Monday-Friday mainly all day, for the weekends I have limited availability but I can always be flexible. I think being respectful of what your boundaries are is most important. Every owner and pup is different and I can adapt well to the different needs for each one. I believe that being gentle and patient is a necessity when it comes to pet care. When walking or caring for your pet I will hold the upmost care for them.
About: My name is Jessica and I live a very active life taking care my three beautiful kiddos. I work from home so availability is open! Previously, I have owned large dogs including two german shepards, two st. bernards, and a chow/labrador mix, but I love dogs of every size! When I was younger, I walked to my moms animal hospital after school. It was my job to clean the kennels and feed the animals. So I spent many afternoons caring for dogs who were boarding at the hospital. We don't have any dogs of our own just yet so hopefully we can love on yours in the meantime! ! I hope we can meet the needs of your fur baby soon! Thank you so much!
About: I’ve been petsitting for 12+ years and fostering animals for 8+ years! I have taken care of many dogs under age 1 as well as senior dogs. I also have experience fostering kittens (as young as 2 weeks old) and cats! I am fluent in both Korean and English! Also, one of my family members is a veterinary assistant :) My home is condominium, and the floor is hardwood. I have a small patio area inside my house. I also have a small grass area for the residents — it’s located outside my house but inside the condominium complex. Pets are always welcome to sleep on bed or relax on our furniture! Usually, we take the pets out for potty breaks 4 times a day—first one in the morning, second one around noon, third one in the afternoon, and last one at night, right before bed. We also use the small patio area for potties if they need to potty more frequently. I take them on walks in the afternoon! For cats, I clean the litter box as soon as I see that they used it. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and cardboard scratchers! My parents and I will be available to take care of your pets full-time! My family (5) is also available to take care of the pets most of the time! If you do not want your pet/pets to interact with other pets, I can separate them upstairs and downstairs. At least one person will be available upstairs and downstairs so the pets are not left alone! Our condominium complex has two doors/gates (front and back) . I look forward to sitting your pets!
About: I'm a former clinical research nurse coordinator dealing with human patients for 20 years before becoming disabled. I have had pets all of my life. I have adopted several cats and dogs from the humane society including a 3 legged Siamese cat who was a Siamese twin that surgically separated from his sister leaving them both with 3 legs. I have trained several my dogs including a temperamental Dalmatian mix. I currently have a 13 year old Chihuahua/American Eskimo mix, who has Cushing's Disease that is on medication twice a day, a 9 year old Rat Terrier/Toy Poodle mix and an 8 year old black short haired cat that loves snuggling. My little dogs love to play what I call trick or treat. The kitty loves to play fetch the hair elastic and fishing. I have recently started pet sitting for a cat in the neighborhood. I've always loved animals and as a child I wanted to be a veterinarian. I am a former clinical research nurse with 20 years of nursing experience who has been on disability for 10 years. I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer 4 years ago and I now am looking to supplement my income by working with animals and giving and receiving unconditional love. I make sure that the pets are fed, have water, and go potty, (which means cleaning up after them.) Of course play with and walk the dogs. I would come to your home at intervals of 1, 2 or 3 times a day or if you or if you need I can stay at your home to care for your pet.
About: ~ I consider myself a compassionate caretaker in as much as I do. ~ * Although I have only had two dogs of my own: a Spaniel-mix (rescue) & Terrier-mix (from a litter) I took upon a role of part-time caretaker, by helping to feed, walk, and bathe our dogs. I enjoyed using a k9sportsack to carry our smaller pup on extended hikes when terrain was tough. I hope that your pet can enjoy their time with my family and myself - as I believe we are keen to sense a pet's basic needs. Personally, I know of fun &/or calm places to take pets on brief outings outdoors, including trails &/or parks. I also take time to clean up along the way, or afterwards. Please feel free to browse my Facebook (Max Allan Mosesman) or Instagram profile (maxmosesman) where I post my most frequented routes, travels, & hobbies. If your pet does end up booking a stay with us (please schedule a Meet & Greet beforehand in order to meet us and our environment so that we can best prepare for your pet's booking as per their individual needs & preferences). Our home is small to medium sized, and good for up to 1-2 pets maximum (if they are already house trained), to take naps within, and/or sleep overnight. Our Backyard, half-grass/half-patio is also on the small to medium scale, with fencing on all three sides. The outdoor yard has side access (to a Garage) with two gates (one is removeable) along the way. Both front & back yards contain flowers, herbs, and fruit-bearing trees that you or your pet may find pleasant to be around. Currently, we are only accepting small to medium sized dogs that are already well-trained & socialized. If this description matches what you are looking for - then we hope to help you and your pet out soon enough! I currently work/volunteer part-time - which gives me about every other morning to take your dog outside on a specific hike (if deemed suitable & appropriate), as well as check in on them throughout the day for basic feeding and breaks in the backyard. Currently we have five members to our household, and each person does a part to help out with boarding pets, which includes some combination of feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and 'light' grooming. We are open to any & all suggestions that specifically pertain to your pet and will to our best to make adjustments accordingly.

“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:)”

“This was my first time leaving my Noodle, my 2 year old Goldendoodle, with a dog sitter. I was a bit nervous but Sevan made the experience wonderful! He has a large space with a backhouse where the dogs stay inside when it's hot outside. Noodle stayed for 2 nights. Sevan sent updates, photos, and videos multiple times per day. Sevan made us feel at ease. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dog safety and wellbeing. Highly recommend!”
“Aimee, Earl and Toby are AWESOME!!!! My normal sitter had an emergency and I had to travel so I reached out. They were so kind and accommodating and we scheduled a quick meet and greet right away. Goldie had a blast and feel asleep as soon as she got in the car. Thank you for being amazing. I will definitely book with them again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. My family had Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers, and later I adopted a mixed-breed dog of my own. Having my own dog taught me that every pup is different. Some are immediately affectionate and trusting, while others need a little more patience and time before they feel safe with someone new. I learned how important it is to pay attention to their cues, respect their boundaries, and let trust build naturally. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their person is away. I work remotely as a brand designer, so pet care fits very naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and already take regular breaks to get outside and walk, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. My schedule also gives me the flexibility to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I like to take the time to let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow the care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any little routines that help your dog feel at home. When caring for a dog in my apartment, they’ll have a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned space and plenty of company since I work from home. When staying in a client’s home, I’m equally mindful and respectful of both their pet’s routine and their space. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“Lilly established an instant rapport with our dog! She provided us with regular updates! She is very easy to talk to and really made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her for 12 days! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Yvonne was so so amazing! I booked with her last minute and she cared for my pup so well! I received plentiful phots every day (amazing photographer too)! She communicated everything so clearly and timely. Will definitely book with her again if chance encounters!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
