About: My love for animals began when I was just four years old, the day my parents finally let me have a cat. As I grew older, that love only deepened—I would go around to neighbors' homes offering to walk their dogs for free, simply because I enjoyed spending time with them. My first paid job was at a boarding kennel, where I cared for multiple dogs each day by feeding, walking, and playing with them. I stayed with that job for eight years, gaining valuable hands-on experience. I'm also very comfortable administering medication, as my own dog requires pills twice a day. My work hours are Monday through Fridays from 9:00 am-6:00 pm. I'm always free in the evenings through the weekdays and available anytime on the weekends. I have 1 dog and just adopted a cat from the Feline Social Club. They are both fed twice daily and received lots of love, walks, and playtime.

“Jessica was fantastic. She communicated well, arrived on time, and took good care of Piper! I will definitely book her again.”


“Katelin did the most amazing job taking care of my cats. She was available last minute, which I greatly appreciated, and she was a great communicator. She also sent fun photos and videos! I’d book her again in a heart beat.”

“Yuko did a great job over the few days that we requested her to complete drop-ins on our kitty cats. She used the app well to check-in, provide us with updates, provide some photos (please feel free to provide more & videos too) :) and our kitty cats responded well to her too. Our boys are very social and really love playtime, and she did a great job providing them balanced playtime. We look forward to having her care for our pets again soon!”

“Karly is one of the best cat sitters I’ve had. She’s very trustworthy, but is also an excellent communicator. I got updated photos at each visit, and I came home to very happy cats. I have already hired her again for another job :)”

About: Growing up my family had 2 dachshunds and over the past year I adopted a lab mix of my own! I love the bonds you create with dogs and the value pets add to our lives. I’ve had experience taking care of both small and large dogs and love both! If you’re looking for someone to help care for your pet I’d be happy help! I currently work 3 weekdays a week and am free some weekends. Whether you need someone a few times a week or occasionally on weekends I’m flexible! I have experience walking big and little dogs and am comfortable with both. I’m happy to create whatever environment they need whether they are crate trained or not

About: I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. I am experienced with helping them walk, feed, play, and clean up when I have their fur babies in my care. I love to pet and play with pets. In fact, you will find me frequenting a pet store just to look at pets! For the past 3 years, I lived with 2 dogs in a house. And I have a lot of experience taking care of them and come to understand well that each dog comes with their own set of unique characteristics and personalities. I've always enjoyed spending time around animals and I find dogs to be adorable and calming to be around. You know you're in good hands as you can count on me to ensure your dog is taken care of! I am currently working part-time so I operate on a fairly flexible schedule where I will have plenty of time to watch your pet. I will be scheduling doggy daycare and services around the days I am off work from my other job. I also live with my husband who is also a dog-lover who works remotely 2 days out of the week, you can trust that there will be an extra pair of eyes that can help watch your pet. I live in a clean condo with wooden floors, under my supervision your dog will be under my special care! I also have a fenced back patio where your dog is free to roam around. If your dog ever needs a potty or a bathroom break, they can easily go in this outside patio area where I can clean up after it.

About: New to caring for others’s pets professionally, but always grew up with dogs in my house, including a Husky, Border Collie, and Golden Retriever! I believe in positive reinforcement and follow lots of advice from Zak George! I currently wfh and have time to walk/drop in around 4 PM weekdays! Then I am pretty flexible on weekends as well to schedule a walk or drop in. I like to build trust with the dog and also ask what the common walking routes are for the dog so it’s comfortable and in a familiar area!

“This was another great experience for us. Katie arrived on time, remembering Molly is a shy girl and she allowed Molly to approach and sniff a greeting. We reviewed Molly’s routine and home security and left for our day at Del Mar. it was reassuring to know that Katie would be dropping in during the day and the Rover Report Card pictures arrived promptly. Katie will continue to be our go-to person.”


“Laura is THE BEST. My first time having her pet sit my cat and it was an amazing experience. She was able to give my squirmy cat medications with ease and confidence, took care of him lovingly and even went above and beyond to bring in our mail, water our plants, and take the trash cans out!! She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND and is so thoughtful. Laura - I am so thankful I found/met you! Kingsley and I are so grateful and can’t wait to see you again!! :-)”

Holly P.
“Used Holly this past weekend to walk my dog Mr, Big. He fell in love with her! When she left he watched her out the window whining. Needless to say I will be using her full time for walks. She’s a natural!”

Sarah C.
“Sarah is a dog lover and certainly very responsible in caring for one’s pet. The love and affection shown for not only her animals but others is very apparent, which is why I’d recommend her to anyone looking for dog care. She will put your dogs needs over her own.”


Meagan C.
“Meagan was so friendly and lovely. She was excellent with our dogs. Typically, our dogs would bark for a little while before getting know a stranger, but with Meagan, our dogs fell instantly in love. She would take them on walks with no issues and send us photos/videos. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to instantly befriend your dog.”


Stephanie S.
“Steph could be my dog's godparent. She's taken care of my dog many times, in fact, she takes more care about taking care of my dog than I do but I guess that's what you want in a sitter and not something to be insecure about. My dog's not the easiest to walk either--I let her go where she wants to so that's usually off the beaten path on grass and in bushes and loves to pull me along for the ride--and so if she can handle that then she probably can handle any dog. Steph's also got a great personality, trustworthy, unthreatening to dogs (I say this because my dog's wary of strangers), and easy to work with. Highly recommend! Thanks Steph!”
