About: I have cared for pets of all kinds since I was 16, and we also have had a sweet baby 🐕 of our own for the last 8 years. When I lived near friends that all had dogs, I was always the go-to pet sitter. Our girl would love to have a playmate for a few days and I look forward to being able to dote on your dog with lots of walks and outside adventures, if they like! My schedule can be highly variable, but I work from home a lot of the time. I can provide a lot of undivided and individualized attention to your dog, with regular outside time and walks. We have a small fenced backyard and a decent-sized lawn out front. There is a large park nearby and we love going for walks in the neighborhood. We have 1 very sweet and shy 30-lb dog that loves to play (and especially loves puppies).

“Cabe helped us feel reassured the minute he met our cats. He was very sweet with them and exhibited a lot of knowledge around cats’ body language and boundaries. One of our cats can be slow to trust and he completely won her over. He sent regular updates and cute pictures which helped put our minds at ease. We were very happy to have had Cabe watch our cats.”

Thank you for an excellent job!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day.

“Nancy and Richard are amazing pet day care parents. They are so easy to work with and gave Kona an amazing experience. Multiple walks and cuddles. It was his first time away from home and it was obvious that he enjoyed his time with them. I would highly recommend Nancy and Richard to anyone who needs exceptional care for their pup with the knowledge that they are in the best hands possible.”

It is obvious that he has a great time when we take him there for daycare! She is very responsible, sends updates often, and takes him on multiple walks including hikes, which are his favorite! I HIGHLY recommend her if you’re interested in more individualized doggy care. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Adrianne!!!”

“We are beyond shocked at how kind and accommodating Robyn and Jovanny are. We needed a pet sitter very last minute and they went above and beyond to help us. They took great care of our two 50-70lbs dogs all day while we were out at Disneyland. Would 100% recommend.”
“She was great with my puppy! Picked her up and dropped her off on time, clearly knowledgeable about dogs and how to care for them. My puppy really enjoyed her house, children, and dog, and the pictures were adorable. I'm relieved to know there's someone I can count on to care for my puppy when I am busy!”
“Xiaomeng was absolutely wonderful. She was understanding with my work situation and Spoofy had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a genuine cozy experience for their dog.”
About: I’ve grown up rescuing kittens from the streets and healing them to health. I have two healthy cats at home that I take care of every day. They are fully vaccines and healthy. I have a passion for cats, so I am always doing research to get a better understanding of how they may think. I'm currently working full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I get many breaks during my working hours. I love my two cats, I never discipline them by yelling. They are allowed on the furniture and have a tree house to play in and many toys all throughout the home. I work from home so I'm always around and I rarely go out. I like being home. I also get breaks to go out and do any drop ins. I live in a three bedroom apartment. There is one bedroom dedicated as my cat room, which has a cat house, scratch post, wooden home and many toys and tunnels for play. I have toys for them everywhere and constantly buying new toys. My cats love the their playroom. Right outside the window is a tree where some birds and squirrels pass, they love to lay on the hammock and look at the window.
“I have used a few sitters before but Candi set a néw high bar. He came back with such a smile on his face and was wagging his tail when he came the second time. Candi is the best sitter you need to use for your dog. Thanks. Jeff”
“Andrea really helped us in a last minute day care sit! She had great communication with us before she met Coco and while she was sitting Coco. She sent us pics to update us and when we got back he was super relaxed.”
“Susi did a great job caring for my little poodle mix. We went to an event at the Honda Center, and her place is very convenient to that venue. Would definitely use her services again, and her communication was excellent.”
About: I am semi retired and am a homebody who’s obsessed with my own dog. I will be home to be at your dogs beck and call. I’m home all day and able to pamper my own dog. He goes out in the morning to potty and gets breakfast in the morning. In the evening we go to the park or walk the walking path down the street from my house. I also have an enclosed small yard for safe dog potty area. I’m able to walk my dog everyday and also have an enclosed small yard for potty time and it’s safe away from the animas and hawks. I have cameras and can monitor as well as have the time to care for your pets 24/7.

She was prompted on time for all of her visits and gave my dog Charlie all the love in the world in addition to some fun extra long walks! I’m so excited to have found her and will definitely be using her again”
“Sydney has been a lifesaver! She has been very patient with my older dog who, although very friendly, can be pretty shy on first encounters. She has gone above and beyond of what is expected of her and has always made it a point to communicate with me throughout the day. I work very long hours and I have noticed how happy my dog has been since welcoming her into his daily routine 😊”

About: Having experience with so many different dogs has taught me that every dog is different and has their own personality, energy level, and routine. I try to get to know each dog and understand what they’re comfortable with. When it comes to walking, I’m happy to adjust to their pace and needs. Some dogs love a long, active walk, while others enjoy a slower walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore. I’m patient, responsible, and always make safety a priority. I’m comfortable following specific instructions from owners and making sure their dog’s normal routine is kept as consistent as possible. I also pay attention to their behavior and will let the owner know if I notice anything unusual. I enjoy sending updates and photos during walks so owners know their dog is doing well. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs and treat every dog like my own. I want each dog to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care, and I want their owners to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. As a sitter, I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, treats, and companionship.

I take the time to learn what your pet likes, what they’re used to, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves walks and playtime or prefers to relax and get lots of cuddles, I want them to feel loved, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I strive to be someone you can rely on. Hi!

“Aurora is awesome! She is always punctual, friendly, and kind to our animals, and even takes the time to clean up any accidents - for instance, one of our cats knocked over and broke a mug and Aurora swept it up. We’ve also had Aurora pet sit for us and she is very respectful of our living space, going above and beyond what’s expected. I’d highly recommend Aurora to anyone!”

About: I've owned, walked and helped train dogs for 17+ years. I enjoy providing dogs of all breeds and sizes exercise and enrichment, and always put safety first. I carry an extra leash, water bowl, loud handheld horn in the event we encounter stray animals or critters, and also have pet crates in my vehicle should I need to transport a pet to a park or local greenspace at a pet parent's request. I'm currently super flexible as I'm starting up a dog related business from home. I am available M-F with some availability on weekends and after working hours with some notice. Having had many dog walkers and caregivers for my rescue pit bulls over the years, I know how important it is to treat each dog (and their home) like my own. I will provide exercise, TLC, fresh water and food (if food is requested), and plenty of snuggles before I depart.
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life. I love all animals and I am so happy to play and love your pet like it's my own!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals, especially dogs, since I was 9. I love animals and have sat for various types of pets— occasionally I will also get help from my lovely boyfriend. I’m currently a student attending college and I love animals. I’m super flexible and can find time on any days needed if it is possible. If needed, I can request an extra set of hands, my boyfriend, to help at no cost to you. I have 2 dogs that I care for on a daily basis. I feed them twice a day, the same time, every day. I make sure they get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and give them baths once a week.

“Our German shepherd was well taken care of while we were out of town for a long weekend. Natalia is very attentive to details, took dog on daily walks and sent great updates. We will definitely book again.”
“The best!!! Kenzi was the best I could have ever hoped for caring for my pup!! Upcoming trip a”and I definitely will be requesting Kenzie’s services again. I can’t say enough good things about everything she did for me with her pictures and texts that were so reassuring and kept me updated. My pup adored her, her family and her stay while I was gone. Thank you again Kenzie for all that you did for me and my family!”
“Catherine was outstanding when it came to making sure our dog was properly enriched, safe, and loved throughout the entire stay! She provided updates often and made us feel confident that he was in the right hands!”
“Tessa took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you, Tessa!”
“Claudia was so kind and accommodating. She kept our pup very active and sent many updates throughout the day. I felt completely at ease leaving the pup in Claudia’s care. Our dog came home happy and tired, we’ll definitely come back in the future! Thank you!”
“Heather and her family is a gem! They went above and beyond watching our girl while we went on vacation. I always felt at ease because Heather always sends updates! Will definitely book again in the future”
“Bernard and his father were amazing with our beagle, Rooster! Both are so nice and friendly. Our dog stayed with them for about 9 days while we were out of the country. With that, of course we wanted to make sure we were leaving him in good hands. They were nice to also do a meet-and-greet prior! They gave plenty of photo and video updates each day and I could tell my boy was happy. He even felt sad when we got home after picking him up, like he was sad to leave them. Good sign! I highly recommend them!”
“Cortney is the best! Always sends the cutest pictures, updates and loves our dog. You know she is the best when our dog is always excited to go spend some time with her. ❤️❤️🙌🙌”
“Yvonne was caring and very sweet with my pup. He is only 3mo old and needs a lot of attention, which he most certainly received at her house. I will 100% ask her to look after my pup again!”
“Holly was amazing with Nani! She took her on walks and took tons of pictures of her. She sent me updates all day and we loved it! Definitely will be booking with Holly again.”
“My dogs loved their time (2 weeks) with Jovanny and Robyn! They treated them like their own -- taking them on walks, giving them scratches, letting sit with them. I really appreciated all of the photos and videos -- I think they had way more fun with Jovanny and Robyn than they do at home! Would definitely book with them again!”
“Second time booking with Adrianne and just like the first time, we were very pleased with how much she kept us engaged during Beckham’s stay. All the activities and pictures gave us comfort in seeing that our pup was active, relaxed and gaining some skills. Adrianne and I agreed to integrate training during his stay and so far it’s proven beneficial, as it’s helping Beckham listen to cues that will create boundaries, better behaviors and help us with feeding. We plan to be long term clients!”

“Crystal took care of our little Mochi over a three day weekend. She was excellent in communication, coordinating drop-off and pickup. She sent regular updates with pictures. Our pup got completely shaved down by the groomer and Crystal noted she’s shivering often and kept her cozy with blankets and cuddles.”
“Summer had an amazing amazing time! we couldn't have asked for a better care for Summer. Pam took care of Summer like family. While we were having fun at vacation, we were getting frequent updates/pictures/videos of Summer being pampered.. While picking up Summer even neighbors came over to see her off - :). Would highly recommend Pam to any other pet parents who are looking to get family like care and attention. Thanks again Pam for taking care of Summer. She will be back soon!”
“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“Rebecca was absolutely lovely and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. I would highly highly recommend her. She was so great with our laboratory rescue beagle Daisy, taking into account Daisy’s quirkiness, and made Daisy and us feel so comfortable. She asked all the right questions, asked for a meet and greet before agreeing to watch Daisy (which I really appreciate and believe is so important) and we knew Daisy would be in good hands, and she was.”
