“Angelina went above and beyond every single day, sending me regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me smile and reassured us that everything was going smoothly.

He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”

“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie!

They loved playing with her in the yard, and my puppy thoroughly enjoyed her time with them. My puppy was happy and excited from all the fun and activities when I picked her up! I would definitely recommend Amanda as a responsible and nurturing dog sitter for anyone looking for care for their precious pup. We would definitely use her again!”

“My cat is high maintenance and a bit of a pain. Cam was incredibly patient and clever in terms of getting my cat his medicine. After a few days the cat finally trusted him to deliver the meds orally. Cam was great throughout the process. 5/5 Would recommend!”
“Sarah took great care of my kitties. Unfortunately one of my cats became ill right before I left on vacation, and Sarah did a great job with the extra care around medicine and diet changes. She was great about sending updates and communication. One of my cats is really timid and she warned right up to Sarah.”
“Sara goes above and beyond!!! She does an incredible job at taking care of my diabetic kitty making sure she gets her meds on time and lots of love. She also sends a ton of amazing photos as well! Can’t recommend her enough 💕”
About: I fell in love with cats after adopting my cat, Marty, during college with my roommate. Caring for Marty taught me so much about understanding a cat’s unique personality, respecting their boundaries, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel loved. I have experience with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and providing companionship while making sure cats feel happy and secure.
About: As a dog owner my whole life I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, From senior dogs who need that little bit of extra care to young puppies who need that extra exercise and training, I will be your furry friends new bestie ! I am a stay at home mom and have lots of time to take care and play with All the animals. I like to go out for morning and afternoon walks and lots of play time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room for running and playing . I also have a 3 year old miniature dauchand who loves to run and play with new friends .
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own.
“Eden is awesome, she was great with Lily, our cat and I felt totally at ease being away from home with her check-ins. I loved the updates and the photos she provided-she was incredibly reliable with her visits and just great to book with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter, your pet is in great hands!!”
“Eric was attentive to our cats' individual needs. We apprentice his attention to detail. Additionally, he went above and beyond when a tree fell at our house and helped us by taking photos of the initial incident.”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends and neighbors often trust me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. At home, I'm the proud owner of a mini poodle, so I understand the daily needs, routines and personalities of small breeds. I'm patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. Also I love running and often take dogs with me for safe, fun jogs, which keeps them happy and healthy. I care for my own mini poodle every day, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine. This makes it easy and natural for me to care other dogs at the same time. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that's very safe for daily walk. Our home is just a short walk from Nara Park and Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. My friendly mini poodle helps new pups feel welcome, and I always supervise playtime to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for.
“Xiaoxue took great care (and pictures) of our cats! We really appreciated the detailed updates, prompt service, and clear care that she took of our cats while we were away. It looked like they had a good time and the house was well taken care of. Thank you!”

Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: Six years of cuddles, walks, and playtime have made me a true pet enthusiast! I know how much pets enrich our lives, and I'm eager to share that love with your furry friend. I'm experienced in providing engaging activities and creating a fun, safe environment for your pet to thrive. I work from home and can fit in schedules during the week. I have a unfixed, male Beagle, Leo - who is a sweetheart and is very calm and mingles well with to other dogs. He mostly loves to laze around once he's had his fill. I have an enclosed sun room for the pet to relax and bask in the sun. The neighbourhood is very calm, safe and pet friendly.
“Very happy with our first day of care by Anastasia. Scrapper seemed very comfortable almost immediately and happy afterwards. We think he will be pleased to stay again!”
About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.
“Merry was wonderful with our Jackson! She was kind, responsive, and very friendly. The icing on the cake were her two sweet and adorable dogs :) We look forward to trusting her with our dog again in the future!”
“Emma was great! Prompt, communicative, and obviously cares for my pet as if she were her own. We needed a doggy daycare for our 11 week old aussiedoodle and Emma was more than capable to care for our pup. Also has a fenced in back yard, which I know my pup enjoyed. Thank you Emma! I appreciate you!!!”
“Kona had a wonderful time at Joanne's and she came home completely exhausted! Joanna kept in contact with us all day sending pictures and even videos! Will be using her next time we need a place for Kona to stay!”
“Elaine has a knack for putting our somewhat anxious Ipo at ease. She can sense Elaine is a patient, serious dog lover with years of experience caring for many clients as well as her own Brady. Elaine’s flexible, very easy to work with. We’re booking a 2wks boarding , first time away in years! Highly recommend”
“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”
“Maeve took excellent care of our puppy, Barnaby. It was his first time with a sitter, and first time meeting another dog, and Maeve made it so easy. She communicated with me promptly, sent photos, and Barnaby loved being with her. 100% recommend.”
“Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.”

“Had a great experience! Angelina was punctual, friendly, and took my pup on a nice 30-minute walk. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend!”
“Lucy was super detailed with her notes and photos! The dogs seemed to really love her, and she was super great at making me feel comfortable with my first time using Rover! Would highly recommend!”
“Susannah comes to our house twice a week to take our dog out for a stroll. She is very reliable, comes on time and is very responsive. Would recommend her to a friend.”
“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”
“Our dogs were in great hands with Rachel walking them! Communication was easy and we appreciated her flexibility with minor adjustments to the schedule. Our dogs look forward to seeing her again!”
About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.
“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”
About: I’ve been in the animal care field since 2022 and have done a little bit of just about everything! Food and Supply sales, assistant grooming, dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. In addition, I'm currently pursuing my associate's degree in animal care and have a wonderful 1-year-old lab/pitbull mix named Judy! I’m currently working part time as a dog walker, so my availability will be weekdays after 4PM until 10PM, and 8AM to 6PM on weekends (weekend sittings are available for full days on Sat/Sun) My yard unfortunately isn’t fenced in, so I always make sure my dogs are leashed and are wearing their collars with AirTags just in case. I don’t board dogs at my house due to the yard having no fence. When walking other dogs I always double clip their leash to their harness and collar.
“Amy has been awesome! We have a new puppy and she has been super helpful in helping him learn the ropes. Amy is reliable, sends a detailed summary of the visit, and has taken great care of our puppy while we are at school and work. I would highly recommend her.”
