“Juliana was wonderful with her drop in visits for our senior dog while we were gone over the holidays. She was communicative and went above and beyond to make sure all her needs were met. She was able to give her pills, which she hates, and get her to eat!”
“Diana is awesome! She is very communicative and response quickly. She also takes great photos and send a lot of them while she's taking caring for your pets. She also went out of her way to apply ointments to my cat and took out the litter trash. Thanks, Diana!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid and I'm still taking care of my German Shepard/ border collie mix now. I'm currently working as a nanny part time, so I have plenty of time to take on new clients. When I’m not working I’m a stay at home mom to an almost 1 year old, 10 year old dog, and a 5 year old cat. I live in a studio apartment (so I am unable to board anyone else’s pet) so for Abbey we take lots of walks and play outside daily. We stick to a consistent daily schedule. When it comes to your home and your pet I will make sure to respect your space and treat your pet like family.
“Sarah was amazing — communicative and provided cute pictures and videos of my cat, Kipo. She even cleaned up an accident (Kipo tends to pee too close to the edge of the litter box) without question. I really appreciated that she checked-in with me, requesting to change the drop-in time. I highly recommend Sarah and would trust her to take care of Kipo in the future.”
“Andrea is exactly the type of dog walker and pet sitter you are looking for! Great communication and response time and overall loving/caring personality. Your animals are sure to love her! They’ll be in great hands!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs from all various age ranges since I started dog sitting and walking at the age of twelve. While I don't have any professional training, I can easily connect with dogs on personal level because of my warm and friendly personality. I have two large dogs of my own and have an understanding of what it takes to care for bigger breed dogs. I love to spoil my own pets and will do the same for my current and future clients. I currently work as a teacher so I'm available to take care of a clients pet in the early mornings and anytime after 2PM. I'm more available on the weekends and will usually take the pet out for longer walks as my schedule permits. I have never taken care of another clients pet in my own home, I always get offered to stay in my clients homes. The clients always introduce me to the pet before I take the job, to make sure I will be a good fit and am trustworthy to be in their home. All clients I have house sat for, leave detailed written instructions as to what their pets daily needs and routine are. I make sure to follow all directions exactly how they are written and I keep the client up to date on how the animal is doing plus I send check in pictures whether they are requested or not.

“Jennifer took care of my animal for a second time and everything was yet again perfect! I appreciated all the pictures and updates. Great communication and will decently use Jennifer again. 😊”
About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and that’s when I start my walking, then I come back and have my breakfast, so I will have plenty of time to care for a dog. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and walking them.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs — especially big ones — so caring for them feels second nature to me. I truly have a huge love for dogs, and since I can’t have one where I’m staying right now, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected and build those special bonds. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, patient with puppies, and gentle with seniors. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Right now, I’m not working, so my schedule is very open! That gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care — whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or longer sitting stays. I enjoy having that extra time to give pets my full attention and keep them happy and active throughout the day. I care for pets in the comfort of the client’s home to help them feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s routine closely — including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I’m always sure to give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m also available for dog walks, which I think are a great way for them to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, and stay happy!
About: I’ve spent 8 years as a devoted cat mom and have hands-on experience walking my brother’s friendly, medium-sized dog. I treat every pet with patience, care, and love as if they were my own.

As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, your furry friend will never feel rushed or overlooked. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. I take time to make sure pets feel calm and cared for, whether that means giving extra belly rubs, cleaning up after them, or keeping their space tidy. Safety always comes first, and I never rush visits or walks. I want pets to feel loved and owners to feel completely at ease.

“Alice is the best. She took great care of my dog and made sure I was stress free during my time away from my dog, I knew she was in good hands and well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“Cristina took the initiative to come meet my kitties ahead of time. She took great care of them and played and cuddled them. I asked her to bring in our trash cans and some packages at the last minute and she was happy to do it. Very responsible, responsive and great with the kitties!”
About: Dog & cat lover serving the greater OC & LA area! I grew up in a household full of animals and decades later, that has not changed. I’m the person who socializes with dogs and their owners while on walks with my 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Lady. Aside from caring for her and our 18 month old Russian blue cat Cosmo, I have had experience pet sitting for my family, friends, and neighbors. I work from a home office, which provides the schedule flexibility to walk and care for your dog(s) during the day. In fact, I can accommodate 3-4 walks/play sessions per day. I can definitely take care of your kitty as well as administer meds for your 4 legged friend. Need more than just walks? No problem! I provide day/overnight care services as well… Offering your pet a fun, active, comfortable and (most importantly) safe place to be when you are working or out of town is one of the best perks of my work from home schedule. I have experience caring for all age dogs/cats including senior and special needs pets. My last cat was a vision impaired senior with a thyroid condition so I administered meds to him in his last years as needed. Whether or not your fur baby requires any special care or attention, I’m the Rover for you. My goal is to be present and engaged with your pet, so that they (and you) know that their time away from home is only 2nd best to being with you! Please let me know: If your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of If your dog gets along with other dogs/cates Any special care information, including the need for medication, etc. I'm am in a work from home office schedule and am available daily as needed. I have great flexibility and can support your body schedule or your vacation time easily. I have a safe fenced in home on a quiet street. I live close to a nature park for good safe walks, and lots of play.
