“We’ve used Katie a few times now to watch our pup and we can’t say enough good things. She’s attentive, kind, a great communicator, and responsible. We are so happy we found Katie and can go on trips knowing our sweet girl is in good hands. Katie helps administer meds to our pup and is very intuitive with knowing what our dog needs. Thank you Katie for taking the best care of our girl!”

“Ana is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter!!! The best ever! I can't say enough nice things about her. She Sent pictures of him and communicated with me on a daily basis, while on a 12 day cruise! She gave him a bath, medication, and hand fed him when he was reluctant To eat. She left my house sparkling - totally clean & my Yorkie looking super healthy and cute! She was an angel - took care of my little dog like he was her own. I know he was sad to see her leave - but we will Always call her in the future! Thank you Ana!!!🌺❤️ You are truly an amazing person!!”

“Angelina was absolutely wonderful with my little dog, Peach. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and trustworthy hands. She was kind, attentive, patient, and treated him with genuine love and affection. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone else, but Angelina made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Angelina, for taking such great care of my little boy! ❤️”

“Brittany was a wonderful sitter for our wild 4 month old puppy! She stayed with her for 10 days and made sure she wasn’t left alone for long and had plenty of potty breaks. She was reliable, punctual, and communicated with us regularly to let us know that our girl was happy and safe. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who loves animals and makes sure your animal is well taken care of!”

“Joey has been incredible for us and our dog, Bullseye. She just stayed at our home with Bullseye while we were out of the country for two weeks. We felt very comfortable with her, and could tell Bullseye was happy and well taken care of, too. She is very responsive and sent daily photos while we were gone. I highly recommend using Joey for any pet needs! She also has amazing flexibility, and is happy to stop in for walks as needed.”

“Esther was awesome! Petsitting 2 cattle dogs at the last minute was challenging, but she worked with me and my pets and got them in a routine within a day! She kept me informed every step of the way and never hesitated to answer my texts. I've already asked her how to contact her for future pet sitting. Raider, Sloane and I are grateful to Esther for everything. Thank you! ♥️”

We believe that your pets are the most comfortable when they can stay at their home and we are committed to offering affordable, responsible, and communicative house-sitting services for your peace of mind. When you book, you get the benefit of knowing there is a team of two to ensure the best service for you and your pets. We will meet with you before booking to ensure that you are comfortable with us and vice versa. It is so important that there is a good fit between everyone - including your pups/kitties - so that you can go on your trip/vacation with complete peace of mind. As pet parents, we know how important it is to be communicative. You will receive daily updates while you're away. No ghosting, no one-worded responses, but clear and authentic communication. We currently accept clients only within our specified booking area. Eric works remotely. I will house-sit a majority of the late afternoon and evening hours. Our schedules are usually planned months in advance and we are not spontaneous people. I follow any instructions and schedules you leave me to the best of our ability. The more details, the better it will be for your peace of mind.

“We cannot give higher praise for Amyra and James. They put our minds at ease and were such amazing help! Our puppies loved them and we really appreciate everything they did. We trust them completely and are no longer worried about leaving our pups knowing they’d be in the best hands!”

About: I have experience with many different breeds of dogs as well as different species of animals other than dogs and cats. I have walked/watched great danes, pit bulls, labradors, and mixed breeds to name a few. As for the other species I have taken care of/owned I feel comfortable with reptiles, birds, small animals, fish, and spiders. I am always open to learning about and caring for different species of animals and breeds if dogs or cat! I have the summer off from college so I have a bunch of free time I hope to fill with caring for dogs and other animals! For the animals in my hone and past pets my big rule is respect. If the animal is experiencing a strong emotion or needs something I will always respect it. Animals have their bad days too! As for caring for pets on this app, that basic respect rule will still apply. I always make sure to not only respect your animal but also your home.

About: 🐾 Howdy Hey! Hi! I’m a UCI student, certified EMT, and cat mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your cat. I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a kitten of my own, so I know cats are not “low-maintenance” pets — they have routines, preferences, boundaries, and emotional needs just like dogs do. My goal is to care for your cat with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. Whether your cat is playful, shy, curious, cuddly, anxious, senior, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel safe, respected, and comfortable. 🐱 My Cat Care Philosophy I believe cats deserve enrichment, stimulation, and individualized attention — not just food, water, and a clean litter box. Cats deserve to live their best lives too, and I love creating a calm, engaging environment that supports their natural instincts. Depending on your cat’s personality and comfort level, care may include: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box maintenance • Playtime with wand toys, toy mice, tunnels, or your cat’s favorite toys • Treat puzzles or simple enrichment activities • Scratching opportunities • Cozy resting spots and calm companionship • Brushing, if your cat enjoys it • Medication support, if instructions are provided • Regular photo updates so you know how your cat is doing I also offer safe indoor bird-watching enrichment. I have a bird-feeding area outside where cats can enjoy “cat TV” from a secure indoor window view. Cats remain fully indoors and safe at all times — this is visual enrichment only, with no outdoor access or contact with wildlife. 🏡 Cat Boarding in My Home For boarding, I aim to create a calm, safe, home-based environment where your cat can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. I keep care intentionally limited so each pet gets focused attention and is not treated like just another booking. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not force cat-to-cat interactions. Your cat’s safety and comfort come first. I can provide a separated space with their own food, water, litter box, cozy resting area, toys, and enrichment. If your cat needs time to decompress, hide, observe, or slowly adjust, I completely respect that. I understand that some cats are social and curious, while others need quiet, patience, and personal space. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while you’re away. 🧼 Cleanliness & Safety I take cleanliness seriously, especially when caring for cats. Litter boxes, food areas, water bowls, surfaces, and shared items are cleaned regularly. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy level, behavior, and overall well-being. My EMT background has made me detail-oriented, calm, and observant, which helps me notice when something seems off and communicate clearly with owners. Before boarding or visits, I like to know about your cat’s: • Feeding schedule • Litter box habits • Medical needs or medications • Favorite toys and enrichment • Hiding spots or comfort items • Personality and handling preferences • Stress triggers • Behavior around other cats The more I know about your cat’s routine, the better I can care for them. 🌿 Outdoor / Catio Policy For safety, I do not provide outdoor roaming, balcony access, or unsupervised outdoor time. Boarding cats will remain indoors in a secure environment. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine if they have a fully enclosed, secure catio at home. Catio time must be discussed ahead of time and will only be provided if it is safe, enclosed, and owner-approved. 💬 Communication You can expect clear communication, thoughtful questions, and regular photo updates. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel reassured that your cat is safe, comfortable, enriched, and genuinely cared for. Thank you for trusting me with your cat. I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. As a UCI student and certified EMT, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day (or night). Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible while their owner is away. During visits, I provide fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, bathroom or litter box maintenance, enrichment, and companionship tailored to each pet's personality and needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. Before each booking, I take time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. As a certified EMT, I'm attentive, calm under pressure, and comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, activity level, and overall well-being. I understand that dogs and cats thrive when their routines are respected, and I work to create a safe, positive, and low-stress experience while you're away. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi, I’m Galina! Animals have been the biggest passion through out my life. I currently have one small dog named Pockets but I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and with cats too! I am a part time dance teacher for children and love to spend the rest of my time caring for animals. I offer house sittings, walks, and drop in feedings & play time. I fully ensure your loved fur babies are always safe in my care and handled appropriately around any other animals. I make sure they're walked, get LOTS of one on one play time, treats (as appropriate), and as much love and belly rubs as they can take! As a dog parent myself, I love photos of my pets and always send photos and updates for you to put your mind at ease while you are away from your pets. I am happy to watch your pets in your home or in mine. When I pet sit or do walks/check ins at your house, I am always responsible and clean, leaving your home neat, tidy, and cleaner than when you left! Also happy to offer plant watering, mail pick up, or anything else you need when I'm at your home, even if it's just a drop in visit. I treat your pets like they are my own because I love all animals!! I'll make sure they feel they have a new best friend, lots of play time, endless attention, and the safest care. I work part time as a dance teacher for children and the rest of my time is spent caring for animals and hanging out with my pup! I always make sure each pet is given a lot of love and all instructions for each pet is carefully followed. I’m always aware of each pet’s surrounding to make sure they are comfortable and safe.

“Irene did an amazing job caring for my pups while I was away for a wedding. She sent updates and pictures while allowed me to feel confident they were in good hands and enjoy my time away worry free. She definitely went the extra mile, I highly recommend!”
