“Arroyan a was great with our chihuahua. I know our dog can be skittish and a little nervous around new people, but Arriyanna handled her like a pro from the start. This made me feel comfortable knowing that I was leaving her with someone who was going to take good care of her. She was flexible and the added bonus was when I picked her (Kalee) up she said she had been a good girl and was welcomed back anytime. This made my heart happy.”
“Tatiana did an amazing job helping my kitten with her separation anxiety. Tatiana was very patient and nurturing not just with her but myself as well. I would definitely rebook when needed. Thank you for everything and for such a safe environment.”
“Nicholas was great with our Ollie! We had a good meet and greet. They have a wonderful yard for sniffing and a system of gates to keep your puppy safe. We felt good about leaving our Ollie with Nicholas and Cora because they were obviously experienced dog owners. He asked good questions to make sure he was prepared for making sure Ollie was as comfortable as possible. Nicholas was very communicative and gave us good updates on Ollie. Will definitely use their services again the next time we need a sitter”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Mac had an amazing time with a lot of playtime and new Friends ! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, I will definitely rebook and would totally recommend!”
“Armando was incredible! He took great care of our dog, was super responsive and sent lots of photos. Our dog came home happy and tired. We will definitely use him again.”
“So Amazing! We boarded our pup for 6 days and would absolutely rebook with Elaine again. We received pictures and updates at least 2-3 times a day during his stay. Elaine and her husband are kind, funny and welcoming making the decision to leave Lucky in their care an easy one -would 1000% book again.”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“Laura, amazing. I trust her with my dogs as myself. She is a very caring sweet person. My 2 dogs have stayed at her house multiple times. Every morning we received updates and beautiful pictures of our dogs. Last time I forgot to bring a snack for my dogs while my dogs stayed at Laura's house for a week and she was very kind in buying my dogs a snack at no extra charge for me. I know it's a small thing, but it just shows what a nice person she is.”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”
“Narumi was amazing. She kept the boys on routine and was able to give Bandit his medicine (no small feat). They stayed engaged, exercised, and she gave plenty of updates. Thank you again Narumi!”
“This is the second time we used Jenny and my doggie was happy and enjoyed his stay. I enjoy getting pictures of him throughout his stay. It's hard to leave your dog but I know he is in good hands with Jenny!”
“Anna took excellent care of my dog Leila! She sent me frequent updates so I always knew Leila was in good hands. Leila is very shy but Anna definitely won her over and I could tell when I picked her up that she was comfortable and happy.”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
About: We personally have a working dog breed with endless energy. Our pup also deals with separation anxiety, so we understand how to provide support dogs who experience the same issues . With 10+ years of dog companionship experience, you can feel comfortable knowing your family member is in good hands. Your pup will always have company and supervision in our home. I work 4 days a week and my husband wfh full time. He does travel periodically. Please see availability on the calendar for the most accurate schedule. I understand deeply how important it is treat every dog specific to their required needs. Every dog will be treated like my own family member. Please provide any quirks your pup may have. Miles does seek dominance with other male pups, for now we are only accepting spayed females.
“I found Sharyl through Rover. She is such a warm, kind hearted and fun loving person; I felt safe to leave my fur babies with her as soon as I met her. Both of my boys (a dog and a cat) are needy and they want to be with humans all the time. Sharyl gave my boys the attention they needed and she even let them sleep in her bed! During our trip, she also sent us pictures and videos to give us updates. I am so happy that I discovered Sharyl; I feel that we hit the jackpot!”

“Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.”
“We are lucky to have Donny as our go-to cat sitter! He has consistently gone above and beyond in caring for our cats, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. When one of our cats was unwell and needed complicated medical care (pills, ear drops, isolation from other animals - you name it), Donny handled everything with ease and professionalism, which was so reassuring. I would recommend him 100 times over if your pet has medical or other special needs. He’s incredibly easy to work with and our cats love him! He’s even managed to teach (one of) them tricks - it’s clear he has a special gift for connecting with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, Donny is the person you want.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was hands down the BEST experience I could have asked for, especially with Chris caring for my dog & cat! 🐾 Chris has incredible communication skills and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind :) He is also extremely punctual and reliable, especially when it comes to feeding and walking schedules, which meant everything to me & more. The level of love and care he showed my animals was truly top notch. He followed every instruction perfectly and still found ways to go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to relax and disconnect from “pet mom mode” because I knew my animals were being cared for exactly how I would care for them, if not even better. I also loved the pictures Chris sent, you could genuinely see how much fun my pets were having with him, and somehow he even got my cat to come out and play, which says everything. If you’re thinking about booking with Chris, do it!!! You’ll thank me later & your pets will gain a new best friend 🐾”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Sharde as my cat sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and professional. Throughout my trip, Sharde kept me updated with adorable pictures and thoughtful messages, which made me feel connected to my cat even while I was away. When I returned home, my cat were happy and relaxed — a true testament to Sharde's care and attentiveness. I highly recommend Sharde to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Zulaiha was generous, flexible, and thorough throughout our experience! We got to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. I’m so grateful for their efforts and would book again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was basically a kid, and yes — your dog will become obsessed with me. I’m reliable, patient, and great with pets who need extra attention, belly rubs, or a hype-woman on walks. I’m a full-time student, but my fall semester is ending, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I’m available most days for walks or drop-ins. I only do in-home care, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I’m hypervigilant, gentle, and big on routines—I keep doors secure, follow instructions, and treat your home and pet with respect.
“Elaine was amazing with our cat Gus. He's a bit of a sensitive flower and she got him out of his shell, purring and playing. I will definitely book her the next time we need a drop in sitter for him, I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been caring starting about just couple years Growing up in our home we always had a companion pet dog or car . Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors I work full-time, but I always make time in my evenings, and weekends to dedicate to pet care. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority in my routine. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, I focus on caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and safe. I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they get lots of love, supervision, and care while keeping your home secure and tidy. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and will always keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

I provide reliable drop-in visits for cats throughout San Pedro, Long Beach, Torrance, and nearby South Bay communities. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to follow their routine and care for them at their own pace. Each visit can include fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats (if approved), medication when needed, and plenty of updates and photos so you know they’re doing well while you’re away. My goal is to make your cat feel safe and comfortable in their own home while giving you peace of mind during your trip.
“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”
About: I’ve watched over many people’s cats along with my own cats at home for years. I enjoy their company and respect their needs. I would be thrilled to watch over your cat, and make it a safe space for them. I have plenty of experiences with different personalities of cats, such as calm cats, energetic, cats who may need some time to warm up to you, and those that are playful right away. However your cat may be like, I’ll be happy to get to know them! :)
“Taylor did an amazing job and I will 100% be bringing her back to babysit my cat Bella. She responds quickly, sent photos every day, kept my apartment clean, took out the trash, and even kept my little plant alive! It’s obvious she is a pet lover and had a great relationship and was so caring for my little kitty. She really brought me so much peace of mind while I was out of town!!”

“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
“Hiromi was the best sitter we could have chosen for our young 3 month old puppy! She gave updates/pictures as often as I wanted to make me feel comfortable. She is extremely nice and our pup was so happy to spend time with her. We booked her for two days in a row- when we dropped him off the second day, he remembered her and was excited! We will definitely take Luke again to Hiromi- she is our #1.”
“Arriyanna did such a great job taking care of Emma, she gave her lots of attention and made sure that she was ok. Despite it being Valentine’s Day and a rainy day at that she worked out perfectly. She also kept me posted on how my girl was doing so definitely recommend leaving your furry one with her! ???”

“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!”
“Sylvia was amazing! She kept me updated on my two dogs throughout their stay in her home and made sure they got plenty of playtime ! I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook !”

About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.
About: I am an animal lover with over 10 years of experience providing exceptional care for pets. I have worked at a doggy daycare for over 2 years and am happiest when I get to spend the day with four legged friends. As a fellow pet owner I am well aware of how much your pet means to you. I understand the importance that they are not only taken care of while you’re away, but living their best life. When I am caring for your fur baby, my number one priority is that they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I am comfortable and more than capable of caring for all types and breeds of pets, and am especially great with pets that require more experienced care (senior pets, special needs, high energy, shy/nervous). I am just as obsessed with your pet as you are, you can expect lots of updates and pics while you are away, as well as a piece of mind knowing you’re pet is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet your pet!
About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.
About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. Any time there was an opportunity to look after a friend’s or neighbor’s pet I was more than happy to do it. Being paid to do it was nice, but being able to see the pet was the biggest reason I did it. I’m currently working part time so I have quite a bit of time on my hands. As I’m learning to navigate the adult world from recently graduating, looking after pets is a great way to stay active and build a good routine. When it comes to safety and health of your pet, I always run it by the owner dozens of times to make sure the animal is taken care of the highest degree. Whether it’s the specifics about a medication that is important to take or when it’s time to take the pup to bed.
About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve had my family dog that I mainly took care of growing up and one of my own now that I’ve had for the last 6 years, if you hire me your satisfaction is guaranteed! I currently work part time at a gym with pretty flexible scheduling so I have plenty of time to check in on your pup when needed. I have my own house with a big front yard and a big fenced back yard for dogs to run around as much as they want.
About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!
About: I am a dog lover through and through. I have owned, cared for and loved dogs of every size and shape my entire life. There isn't a pup too big or too small, too young or too old! I am adaptable and can tailor my care to your dogs specific needs and personality. We're talking walks, fetch, pets, puzzles, games and all the attention a dog could ever ask for! I have experience with dog reactivity and dog based fear aggression. I also have experience in puppy care and senior puppy care! I am blessed to have a very open schedule which allows me to be available and flexible to your needs! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fuzzy family member! I am blessed to have a very open schedule during both the week and weekend, which means I am very flexible and can work with you on your specific needs. I treat every pet I care for as the individual they are. I am adaptable and tailor my care based on your pets needs and personality. I know how stressful it is finding care for your pets (I'm a dog mom too!) and my goal is to make sure I do everything I can so that when your dogs in my care, your mind is at ease.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and cat care. I started pet sitting in middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. I also have hands-on experience with newborn puppies. I’m happy to care for your cats too! Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the love they need while you're gone. I work from home so I can take your pet to the bathroom whenever they need, take them on walks, and play with them all day :) I live in an apartment but it is very pet friendly. There are many places for dogs to run around or go to the bathroom.
About: Hiiiii! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog and cat mom with a true passion for giving pets the individualized care they deserve. I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and for the past decade of adulthood I’ve always owned at least one of each. I’m extremely comfortable with all ages, personalities, and care needs. I have extensive experience with senior and medically fragile pets. I cared for my senior cat (Mariah Kitty like Mariah Carey) with stage 4 kidney disease for 6 months, administering fluids, medications, and daily monitoring until she passed. Because of that experience, I’m very confident with special instructions, routines, and gentle medical care. I currently care for two purebred pets with specific needs — a corgi with early-onset arthritis and a Persian cat who requires regular eye cleaning, coat upkeep, and hygiene care (you know what I mean by hygiene care if you have a long haired pet..). This has taught me patience, detail-oriented care, and how to keep pets calm and comfortable even when tasks aren’t their favorite. Whether your pet needs slow walks, daily medication, extra brushing, enrichment, or just someone loving and reliable to hang out with them, I’d love love LOVE to help. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I treat every animal I watch like one of my own. I was recently laid off so other than trips to go visit my family out of state and job searching, I am available to care for pets morning to evening! I can wake up early and stay up late if your family needs it. I provide care in your home only, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I always adapt to whatever schedule, rules, and preferences your pet is used to — meals, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, crate time, bedtime routines, and anything else you need. For house sitting: I maintain your pet’s normal daily rhythm and keep your home clean, safe, and secure. I give plenty of companionship, enrichment, and calm presence, especially for pets with anxiety or special needs. They can feel when our energy is off you know? For drop-in visits: I make sure your pet gets bathroom breaks, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I also handle small things like litter scooping, brushing, basic cleaning, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I promise I will send you the BEST content while you're missing them! For dog walking: I tailor the walk to your dog’s age, speed, and mobility — whether they need a slow stroll, a structured walk, or a little extra exercise. Safety is always the priority, and I keep your dog on-leash unless you specify otherwise. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve been caring starting about just couple years Growing up in our home we always had a companion pet dog or car . Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors I work full-time, but I always make time in my evenings, and weekends to dedicate to pet care. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority in my routine. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, I focus on caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and safe. I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they get lots of love, supervision, and care while keeping your home secure and tidy. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and will always keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”
“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”
“Elaine is so amazing! I didn’t know when I was going to give birth and she came in to help me last minute. She is so great with my dog and is my #1 go to! Thank you Elaine, you were a life saver.”

“Armando was incredible! He took great care of our dog, was super responsive and sent lots of photos. Our dog came home happy and tired. We will definitely use him again.”
“So Amazing! We boarded our pup for 6 days and would absolutely rebook with Elaine again. We received pictures and updates at least 2-3 times a day during his stay. Elaine and her husband are kind, funny and welcoming making the decision to leave Lucky in their care an easy one -would 1000% book again.”
“Laura, amazing. I trust her with my dogs as myself. She is a very caring sweet person. My 2 dogs have stayed at her house multiple times. Every morning we received updates and beautiful pictures of our dogs. Last time I forgot to bring a snack for my dogs while my dogs stayed at Laura's house for a week and she was very kind in buying my dogs a snack at no extra charge for me. I know it's a small thing, but it just shows what a nice person she is.”
“Narumi was amazing. She kept the boys on routine and was able to give Bandit his medicine (no small feat). They stayed engaged, exercised, and she gave plenty of updates. Thank you again Narumi!”
“Anna took excellent care of my dog Leila! She sent me frequent updates so I always knew Leila was in good hands. Leila is very shy but Anna definitely won her over and I could tell when I picked her up that she was comfortable and happy.”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“Christa was the best dog sitter. She went above and beyond while taking care of Maverick and I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“Sonish is amazing! We feel so comfortable leaving Charlie with him and you can see Charlie feels right at home. Sonish is great at keeping us updated and sending pictures/videos of our fur baby. Thank you Sonish for your services.”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Our family had a last-minute trip come up, so we needed to find a dog sitter on short notice. We reached out to Zahara because she lives nearby, and after seeing her 5-star rating and reading all the great reviews, we felt comfortable trusting her with our dog, Yuki. She was amazing! She took Yuki on daily walks, played with him every day, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also made sure to check with us about his meals and supplements, and followed all of our instructions carefully. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Yuki, and we could tell he was happy and well taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'll definitely be booking with Zahara again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Trevor did an excellent job caring for my dog. He was very communicative and thoughtful to make sure all parties were comfortable. I highly recommend him and will be having him watch my dog in the future.”
“Sam was the best ever!! We could tell from the beginning that he was very in tune with animals and their emotions and needs. Our dog is especially energetic, so we appreciated the care Sam took to help our pup focus and be at ease.”
“Very communicative. King took to her with no problem. The pictures I received were amazing. I can never capture great pics of king. I was able to do a meet n greet before the official stay which allowed me to be mentally at ease with leaving my fur baby for days. Will definitely book again.”
“Lulu loved her 2+ week stay with Ziya. It showed through the photos where she was hanging with her new dog friends and even cuddling on the couch with humans. Lulu isn’t much of a cuddler yet she has been since she got home! Lulu found a new home when we’re out of town and definitely will be back with Ziya in the future!”
“HIGHLY recommend! Natalie was super friendly and responsive to us, helping out on short notice to watch our boxer. She sent us many videos and pictures and we could see that he was happy and comfortable during his stay which made our time away better. THANK YOU!!!!”
