1. Katherine W.

“Kat was very helpful and kind. Her attention to detail and professionalism were just what we needed. She gave us peace of mind. Will definitely use her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


2. Aaron B.

“Aaron was an absolute life saver for my boxer mutt and bengal when another sitter cancelled last minute! My pup can be reactive on walks and is very strong, so I was worried about leaving him with someone I hadn’t met. Aaron sent me pictures multiple times a day with frequent reports though, and it was very clear that both boys warmed up to him immediately! I appreciated that he took time to play with the cat as well and made sure he got exercise too. Thanks to Aaron I came home to a clean house (with washed sheets and a remade guest bed) and happy, well-cared for boys. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”


3. Kimberly J.

“Kim was an amazing house sitter. She was very communicative, took great care of the pets, and left my house squeaky clean. I could tell from the photos she sent that my pups were very comfortable and relaxed with her. 12/10!”


4. Cassandra S.

“We are so grateful to have found Cassie to watch our pups while we were out of town for a week getting married. From the moment we met her at our meet-and-greet, we could tell she was the perfect fit. She was incredibly friendly and took the time to get to know every little detail about our pups, from their routines to emergency contacts. It was clear that she genuinely cared about providing quality care. Throughout the week, Cassie stayed with our pups for the majority of the time, ensuring they were never home alone for too long. She took them on walks and made sure they were happy and well cared for. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing that everything was going great back home. We’re so thankful to have found Cassie! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter. Our pups were in the best hands!”


5. Chantal H.

“Chantal went above and beyond as a house-sitter for us over the holidays! Our pup loves her and we were incredibly grateful for the regular pictures, video, and message updates. Would highly recommend and hope to use her services again in the future!”


6. Jason R.

“It was awesome having Jason take care of Hazel again! Everything was perfect and Jason was incredibly communicative, which I really appreciated. Thank you Jason, and looking forward to having you back the next time!!”


7. Sara G.

“Sara was a dream! She was willing to take care of my older dog last minute and was very attentive and communicative. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated when needed. Will definitely use her again :)”




8. Kimberly Z.


“We just took our first family vacation since pre-pandemic, and it was a huge relief to leave our furbabies in Kim's loving care. She stayed overnight for a whole week with our pup and senior kitty. I was worried about our cat turning 19 while we were away because he was losing weight before our trip. When we returned, he had gained weight, and he looked healthier. Kim has a magic touch! She also cared for our guinea pigs, which are rather high maintenance, so I am very appreciative of her dedication to them. I'm so glad we found Kim so we have a trusted sitter for our next trip.”


9. Yoo Jee K.

“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”




10. Jaclyn R.


“Jaclyn was amazing with our fur babies. This was our 1st time using someone other than immediate family when caring for our fur babies while out of town. Her communication made me feel at ease during this process. I would definitely recommend her.”


11. Vincent T.

“Vincent was a tremendous walker, house-sitter, and puppy/cat whisperer. We have a challenging duo and he was great with our “kids” - detailed oriented and very communicative. Best Rover in LA.”


12. Hugo M.

“Hugo was amazing! We were able to book him super last minute and he was so great with Topsy - who seemed to absolutely love him. Hugo has really nice and calm energy that I think our fur child really loved. 10/10 would book again!!”


13. Dylan H.

“Dylan was amazing - I don't want to leave to good a review because I want him available in the future :-). Great with our dog and did extra training House was left in perfect condition Super communicator and provided lots of videos etc for the kids My favorite quality might be his super positive disposition.”


14. Daniela T.

“Daniela is incredible! She’s so communicative and sent so many cute photos and videos of my fur baby! My cat took to her very quickly and I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing she was getting the attention and playtime she needed while I was away!”


15. Andrea M.

“Andrea is competent, confident, and experienced. She stayed overnight at our home with our two big dogs and did a fine job. During the meet and greet she asked relevant questions that showed she was knowledgeable and cared about our dogs. We booked her and then had an unlikely weather event and she was quick to communicate and confirm she’d still be able to come. She sent a bunch of updates with the dogs which we appreciated—just cute pics and captions like “playing in the yard” or “relaxing after a walk.” This was great because we knew the dogs were being taken care of and we didn’t have to worry or reach out to her.”


16. Katherine M.

“Katherine has been AMAZING! She’s been great with communication and so flexible. Just booked her again for a full week to house sit with our doggies. 10/10 recommend :)”


17. Shaina W.
“Shaina is fantastic with pets, she has cat sitter for me numerous times. I also know she has had 2 huskies she cared for in the past. She is amazing - nurturing and absolutely loves animals of all kinds.”

About: I've been caring for animals my whole life, and honestly, I can't imagine doing anything else. Your pet's happiness is my top priority - I'll make sure they get their usual walks, playtime, and yes, probably a few extra treats too. What sets me apart? I send regular photo updates (because I know you miss them!), stick to their routine as closely as possible, and always have a backup plan for anxious pets or unexpected situations. I'm also happy to bring in mail, water plants, or handle other small tasks while you're away. Available for pet sitting, daily drop-ins, and dog walking. I love planning ahead to make sure your pet gets the best care possible, and I always respond quickly to messages. I have a part-time job where I set my own schedule, which gives me great flexibility for pet care. I love being able to plan my week around the pets I'm caring for, so I can give them my full attention when we're together. Having control over my schedule means I can accommodate longer visits, multiple walks, or whatever your pet needs most. When I'm with your pet, they have my complete focus - no rushing off to other commitments. Since I provide care in your pet's own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I do a thorough walkthrough during our meet-and-greet to understand your pet's specific needs, any safety concerns, and house rules. I keep doors and gates securely closed, ensure toxic plants or foods are out of reach, and never leave pets unattended in potentially unsafe situations. For anxious pets, I stick closely to their usual routine and safe spaces. I also make sure to secure your home properly - locking doors, setting alarms if needed, and being mindful of your security preferences. I always have your vet's contact info handy and know the location of the nearest emergency animal hospital. If anything unusual happens, I contact you immediately with photos or updates so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing.




19. Tanya H.

“Puppies were so well taken care of. Thank you so much for making a usually stressful trip a lot less so. We were able to do the things we needed to do without worrying about our pups. Will definitely use Tanya again.”


20. Penny C.


“Penny (aka our dog’s new best friend) was great taking care of our dog and cat while we were away on a long trip! I was nervous about leaving but Penny could not be more more trustworthy, thorough, or kinder. We were worried about New Year’s Eve fireworks, and so appreciated Penny comforting our dog through it all. We would definitely recommend Penny to anyone looking for kind, caring pet sitter!”
