“Cindy was just wonderful while I was away for two weeks. She took care of my very feisty Maine coon mix and was patient and kind, and I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying. She sent photos and little stories every day. I feel completely confident about her. She gets my highest rating”
“Nicole took wonderful care of our cat, Louie, while we were away. We so appreciated her detailed reports and sweet photos. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in all communications, giving us peace of mind that Louie was in very capable hands. We have already re-booked Nicole to cat-sit during another upcoming trip and would highly recommend her to others in need of pet care!”
“She was an amazing sitter! She watched my 4-month old kitten Deon and made sure he was comfortable and cared for during his stay. She sent several updates throughout the day including photos and videos of him. When his time was up, she packed all his stuff up before I arrived to pick him up and had him ready for send off! I enjoyed sitting with her a bunch and will make sure to check with her first before other sitters!”
“Katie was amazing! She went above and beyond while looking after my cat while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat and home were in such caring and capable hands. Everything was well looked after, and I could tell my cat was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

Thank you, Kendra, for your hard work!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my live since i was born. I have taken care of two black-labs, german shepherd mix, and a yellow-lab at home. I always go my local animal shelter just to look at the dogs and take them out to play. I also have helped at an equestrian center feeding horses, cows, cats, and dogs, so i’ve been around all sorts of animals. I play softball here at USC and have been in 8 hour weeks, so I’ve had a lot of free time and would enjoy playing with your dog or cat :) I have a kitten in my apartment right now and my roommate has a 7- month old toy aussie doodle that I also help care for.
“Haley is wonderful. She is very patient with both of our dogs. She’s prompt and dependable and we’re very lucky to have her.”
“We’ve only ever booked with Courtney because she’s been so amazing! She obviously cares a lot about our pets and that gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We have cats who need medication and she’s really good about making sure everything is correct for them. Highly recommend booking with her!”
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m trained in senior pet care, medication administration, and recognizing subtle signs of distress or discomfort in aging pets. With years of hands-on experience and a calm, compassionate demeanor, I create a safe, stress-free environment that feels just like home. Whether your pet is playful or needs a little extra TLC, they’re in capable, loving hands. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life—I share my home with a beloved cat, so I truly understand the importance of consistency, comfort, and routine. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, playtime, and quiet moments of companionship, which makes pet sitting a seamless and fulfilling extension of what I already love to do. Whether it’s tending to my own cat or yours, their well-being is always a top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I create a calm, safe, and nurturing environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, clean space with plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort—just like family. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own, keeping their well-being and happiness at the heart of everything I do.
