“Jackson was great! Was very flexible when we had a change of plans and provided regular updates and photos. Communication was good and we could tell our dog was well-cared for.”


“This was my first experience leaving my fur babies with anyone other than friends or family. Cayla was very patient with me and my apprehensions of using a dog sitter. I got updates throughout my trip and pictures of them hanging on the couch relaxing. She said she would love to watch them again when needed and we will definitely be using her again! Bonus points for our house being super clean when we returned from our trip!”


“Kelsey was fantastic, self-sufficient, communicative, and respected my home and nervous dog perfectly. Thank you, Kelsey, for taking a few hours on Christmas to hang out with Donut!”



“Joan is the best, she took great care of our two pups! We felt so comfortable with her care and attention to detail, and our dogs absolutely loved her! She sent great updates with photos and we look forward to working with her again soon!”


“Jennifer was amazing with our two dogs and cat! She sent plenty of updates with pictures and both the dogs looked so happy. Also came home to a clean house! Would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone!”


“We booked Kate for a weekend for our 3 dogs. She spent a bunch of time during the initial meet and greet and literally pet our dogs the entire time. We received short updates and pictures of our dogs looking really relaxed. Everything went well and we will be booking with Kate in the future.”


“Cezanne took such good care of our two dogs + home while we were away over the weekend. She was super quick to respond and sent us an abundance of photos. It was the first time we've been away from our 7 month old puppy with special needs and knowing that he was in good hands made our trip so much more stress-free. We would rebook with Cezanne in a heartbeat!”

“Caroline did a FANTASTIC job sitting our dogs while we were on vacation. She regularly sent pictures and updates of our two pups, which definitely put us at ease. We could tell that they were happy and well taken care of. She was also extremely understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to extend for an extra day due to a flight cancellation. She kept our house tidy and even went the extra mile to wash the sheets and blankets and make the bed after her stay. Highly recommend! We will definitely be rebooking with Caroline in the future!”


“Alexandra was great! She took fantastic care of my pup and my home. She always texted to say when she would be coming and going and sent lots of pictures during her stay. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to use her again in the future!”


About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and birds my entire life. I currently have 3 cats, 2 of which I have raised since they were kittens. I have experience taking care of animals of all ages and sizes, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Whether your pet needs active playtime, calm companionship, or specialized care, you can count on me to treat them like family. I am a recent college graduate currently searching for full-time roles, which means I have complete availability every day to look after your pet. I am available for check-ins, house-sitting, or walks every day of the week, and my timing can be flexible depending on what you need. My goal is to make pets feel as safe and comfortable as possible in their own environment. Whether I'm house-sitting, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or going on a walk, I always follow the pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any medication needs. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so I can give them the attention and care they deserve. While in a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and communicative. I treat your space the same way I would want someone to treat mine. I also keep you updated with messages, pictures, or anything else you'd like, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“We used Rover for the first time this weekend and we chose Cassidy and she was fantastic, and took great care of our cat and 2 toy poodles. She stayed in our guest room and even stripped the bed and folded the quilt and sheets after using them. We will definitely will use Cassidy again!”


About: *I can board cats throughout the week, but I am only able to board small dogs for the weekend until the time being. Thank you!* I have been a pet owner since I could walk. I have always cared for dogs from my own family, to relatives, to friends of the family. I helped my dog Lily give birth to her puppies and made sure they were always fed and safe, since Lily was only a year old herself and wasn't sure what to do. I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field. I have administered medication, vaccines, cared for sick animals that require extra attention, and have a vast knowledge of animal welfare. I'm able to give baths, I love cuddling, and I exercise with all dogs! *I can board cats throughout the week, but I am only able to board small dogs for the weekend until the time being. Thank you!* I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and I have a set schedule of 9 am-6 pm so I can able to walk/check in/care for your fur baby before and after work and if the location is near my hospital then I can also stop in to check on them during my lunch break! I am also available on the weekends. I work every other Saturday but am out by noon! I can always make time to care for your babies! I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field.

“Toni was amazing in taking care of my beagle, Cooper! She took him on extra long walks (which I know he was appreciative of!) and was an excellent communicator from the beginning of the booking process to the end!”


“Isabelle was AMAZING with my animals which was proven through many photos of my animals always by her side and following her around (even my cat who is scared of people)! I would highly recommend her.”


“Kira did such a fantastic job with my dog for an overnight sitting! It was my first time leaving my baby with someone else and she did such a wonderful job taking care of and sending updates that I felt completely at ease during my trip! Will definitely use Kira again and highly recommend her!!”



“Martha was available for our last minute booking and responded very quickly. Our dog was nervous when Martha first came to stay with her, but Martha persevered and they ended up making friends. Martha was flexible and communicative with us, letting us know how it was going as she overcame our dogs nervousness. It helped us a lot knowing our dog was in good hands.”


“Our dog sitter dropped out while we were on the plane away from LA, and with Eric we experienced tremendous good fortune two times over: he was available to start pretty much immediately, and he was WONDERFUL. He dealt with both me and my dog with calm confidence, reassurance, flexibility and enthusiasm. He asked great questions and demonstrated knowledge and comfort working with reactive breeds like our pitbull, and via the pictures and updates he sent we could see our dog was relaxed, happy and safe. The greatest gift he gave was allowing us to be fully present on our trip to celebrate a family member’s life - the gratitude we feel is really endless. I would recommend Eric without hesitation and although the circumstances that led to us finding him were too stressful to fathom repeating, if we had to go through it again in order to meet him, we would do it in a heartbeat! Thank you Eric for taking such great care of our dog. We’re so happy to know you!”

“Chase has watched my 2 dogs a handful of times and each time has been a very pleasant experience for me as a pet owner by having him send pictures throughout the day of my pets going on walks to pictures of them being fed/drinking! He will always let me know what the dogs are doing so it helps me keep at ease throughout the day knowing my baby’s are being taken care of!
