About: I have 20+ years in caring for someone elses loved ones. Growing up, I have always had a dog family member and I absolutely love animals. I’ve never had a day without a pet in my life. I have a spacious fenced in yard, that your pet can run and play. I am home all hours of the day and nigh and can honor any needs your pet requires. Your best friend is my best friend in this house! I am home all day! I am able to follow all routines your pet may have. We can play fetch or snuggle, whichever your furry friend needs! Although I do require a 24 hour request to prepare for sitting. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of room to play or couches they can lounge on. Whichever they prefer, I have both!

“Kayla did a great job taking care of my un-social cat. A warm and cheerful person who cares very much for pets. She sent a lovely note each visit along with a photo. She was also very responsive to my communications.”
“Gabrielle was such a joy to work with. Very communicative and always pleasant. She was reliable, and even brought in our mail! We have 2 kittens less than a year old. They were abandoned as kittens and not very trustful, but they warmed up to her very quickly! Everything went very smoothly, and we are rebooking her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little wary about letting a stranger into my house. But Mason’s personality was very reassuring from the start. He was prompt for our meet-and-greet before I booked him, and he was awesome and friendly. Mason was kind, communicative, and took great care of my cats while I was away. He sent updates and pictures, and I appreciated how much attention he gave them. My normally shy cats even came out to see him, which says a lot. I’d absolutely book Mason again.”

Red rover, red rover send your puppies and kitties right over! WOOF WOOF!
About: I have over 20 years in dog sitting experience. I love all animals and promise to spoil and love your animals. I find it easier on the animals for me to stay with them in the environment they are used to. However, I am not opposed to letting your animals move into my home either. I am very responsible and can provide references upon request. I promise to take care of your pets as if they were my very own. When you leave your pets with me you can be at ease knowing I will give them the love they deserve. I promise to send pictures of your animals while you are away to ensure they are being taking good care of. I hope you will let me come spoil your pets.

She has such attention to details and kept me well informed; I never felt nervous or questioned the care of my cat while I was away! I would highly recommend Hannah to care for your fur baby! ❤️”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love and care I bring to every animal I work with, along with a deep understanding of their unique needs. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and possibly medication management. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, which helps me quickly build trust and create a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behavior in younger pets, helping with crate training, or making sure older pets stay comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each individual animal. Your pet won’t just be looked after—I’ll treat them like family, with plenty of affection, play, and attention to their routines and preferences. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care a pet might need, whether that's administering medication, doing training exercises, or simply providing companionship and comfort. When I'm pet sitting, I structure my schedule around the pet’s needs, I stay consistent with their usual routine to help them feel safe and at ease, whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I keep everything secure and pet-proofed, and I always do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure your pet feels comfortable here. I do have 4 dogs of my own in home, so depending on your dog(s) and mine upon meet-and-greet, they will always have others to play with or I can always safely keep them separated, comfortable and calm at all times while staying with me. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s diet, crate training, medication, or anything else—and provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In your home, I make it a priority to respect your space while giving your pet the love and attention they need. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m also happy to take care of small household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants while you're away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, and a whole lot of belly rubs and love!

About: All of my cats are well provided for and taken care of. The four of them have 2 litter boxes that hook into the plumbing that only need to be looked after once a year. I am well versed in those systems if you have them but can also do the old school scoop and dump if that’s what you’re asking for. ❤️
About: I have fostered dogs until we found them a forever home. I have dealt with several different kinds of animals. Family and previous babysitting employers have relied on me to take care of their fur babies as well.

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”
“Lindsey is awesome. She gave me lots of pics & updated me without me having to ask. I have a bulldog & was worried about humidity but she paid attention to detail & took amazing care of him. I felt great having him in her hands & I found myself relaxed that I knew he was in good hands. He also came home with a little dog report card. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. I usually only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can focus on giving them the care and attention they deserve while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll keep your home tidy if I’m caring for your pet there, and I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, and it’s truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, administering meds, or just being a comforting presence, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My experience includes overnight stays, and extended care while pet parents are away. I understand that every animal has its own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care is an easy fit in my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I plan my days around the animals I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I’m organized and communicative, you can count on timely updates and consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine become a part of mine while they’re in my care! In Your Home: When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

“Staying with Sawsan has been wonderful for our puppy! Sawsan is nurturing and attentive and ensures that she has a cohesive, playful little pack for daycare and boarding. Beyond making sure that all the pups are safe and happy, she’s very laid back and flexible. Our pup is always excited to see her and comes home happily exhausted. :)”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover for as long as I can remember and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live on a spacious half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. My home features a large doggy door, so your pup can easily go outside whenever they want. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging around, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. I share my home with Jake, my friendly yellow Labrador Retriever. He’s very laid-back, loves other animals, and is happy to welcome new friends. To provide a calm, personalized experience, I only accept one client family at a time. This means your pet won’t have to adjust to a house full of unfamiliar dogs and will receive my full attention. For everyone’s safety, I have young children in the home and can only accept dogs that are friendly and non-aggressive around people and other animals (no pitbulls or pitbull mixes). I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the week. I also have two kids that are animal lovers. I’m able to adjust to whatever routine your pet is used to. My kids have learned to respect animals’ boundaries. Your pet will be enjoying the comforts of being inside or outside of the house and get lots of attention.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
“She was great and very friendly, Lived the place and I was impressed on how clean it was! Lucy loved it and slept all night after playing all day with the other dogs❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.

“I own a very quirky dog who was badly abused in the past. She does not take kindly to strangers. Evelyn was patient and kind, and eventually won Lily's trust. She treated both of my dogs as if they were her own. I can't think of enough good things to say about her. If you love your pooches and want them to have the very best care, don't hesitate for a moment......contact Evelyn. (Plus she has 2 of the cutest kids you've ever met!)”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Before getting a dog of my own, I spent a year working with a pet sitting company, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Now, my dog Miller is my whole world, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a patient, caring animal lover with a background in positive reinforcement training.

At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love and care I bring to every animal I work with, along with a deep understanding of their unique needs. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and possibly medication management. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, which helps me quickly build trust and create a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behavior in younger pets, helping with crate training, or making sure older pets stay comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each individual animal. Your pet won’t just be looked after—I’ll treat them like family, with plenty of affection, play, and attention to their routines and preferences. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care a pet might need, whether that's administering medication, doing training exercises, or simply providing companionship and comfort. When I'm pet sitting, I structure my schedule around the pet’s needs, I stay consistent with their usual routine to help them feel safe and at ease, whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I keep everything secure and pet-proofed, and I always do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure your pet feels comfortable here. I do have 4 dogs of my own in home, so depending on your dog(s) and mine upon meet-and-greet, they will always have others to play with or I can always safely keep them separated, comfortable and calm at all times while staying with me. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s diet, crate training, medication, or anything else—and provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In your home, I make it a priority to respect your space while giving your pet the love and attention they need. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m also happy to take care of small household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants while you're away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, and a whole lot of belly rubs and love!
About: I have 4 well taken care of cats at home right now. In my youth, I had a Pomeranian named Mufasa that was equally adored. My parents took over raising him when I left home and sent updates regularly. He has since passed away and ascended the rainbow 🌈. I am interested in taking care of other animals while in California. Since Mufasa, I have taken care of my small fleet of cats, all with their own personalities, and even two flocks of chickens over an 8 year period. I am interested in all animals and can adjust to accommodate any of their needs. ❤️ I’m currently working as an event coordinator in El Segundo. The event that I’m working is not starting for another month so I’m looking to spend time doing something that I love which is taking care of animals. I cannot host right now, as I am living in apartments that are too small to accommodate other animals, but I treat others environment as I would my own. With respect.
About: I’ve been with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, turtles, a bearded dragon, and the list goes on. I can care for larger and smaller dogs, such as pit bull to dachshunds. Also have experience for pets with any medical or special concerns. Just finished caring for Frenchie with seizures. I am only working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. My schedule is flexible and I’m free during the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs. My neighbor’s dog is also fenced in, but she comes over to play every now and then.
“I was so lucky to find Alyssa, my schedule changed on short notice and she responded immediately to my booking request. We had a call before the visits and my Benny loved her! She did such a great job with my stubborn but very sweet senior pup! I highly recommend her and look forward to future bookings!”
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.
“Cierra was fantastic! She sent me daily pictures of Mulata our dog and was very communicative. Very easy going and I highly recommend Cierra. Mulata got a long great with her puppy too so everything was great!”
