“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”
“Issis was awesome!!”
“Hannah is the best! I highly recommend her. She is professional, super sweet, loves my pets. She's attentive and makes sure they have everything they need and is very communicative.”
“We used Cassandra for stop-in visits while we were gone for the day and she was exactly what we needed! She followed our instructions, kept our dog company, and gave us detailed follow-ups after each visit. Thank you Cassandra!”
“Nelly did a great job with my senior pom! She was very attentive to all the directions and even took notes. Would definitely have her dog sit again in the future.”

About: I love dogs and know how important they are to their family. I've been around dogs throughout my whole life and have watched all kinds of dogs varying in size and age, and will take care of your dog with the love and attention they deserve. I have a flexible work-from-home situation and work on-call in the evenings so I tend to have a lot of time in the weekdays. I can usually accommodate last-minute care if my availability is free. I have an 11-year-old dog (mixed-breed, medium size) who can accompany your dog if you'd like them to get interaction. Comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time, can feed, play fetch, and crate your dog if required to help them exercise and stay on track with their usual schedule.
About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
“Heather is so nice and just loves my babies…and they love her! Thank you for keeping me at ease when I have to be gone for a long time during the day!”
About: I truly have a large heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. I am extremely attentive and will care for your animals as if they were my own. I've owned 5 dogs growing up and 4 cats. I currently have two cats that I love as part of my family. Believe me, I've seen it all (lots of messes that needed to be cleaned and new lessons that needed to be taught). I am pretty flexible with my time and will be able to give your animals the attention and love they need while you are away! Animals are my one weakness that I cannot live without. I really believe that they become a part of your family and need to be treated as such.
“Gabby was very communicative and always on time for her check ins. I felt bubby wasn’t neglected at all and lost of pictures and videos!! Bubby was so happy when I got home and it was like I never left. She didn’t seem off or anything like that. Gabby’s reports were thorough and let me know if there was anything strange with bunny. I will definitely book again when going on a trip again!”
About: I've had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, starting from a young age when I helped take care of our family pets. My love for animals led me to take in strays, ensuring they received the care they needed. Over the years, I've become the go-to person for friends and neighbors, watching their pets while they're out of town. These animals quickly become a part of my family, seamlessly joining the pack and receiving the same love and attention as my own pets. I'm available daily including weekends and holidays if I am not out of town. Thus able to care for your pets throughout the day. :) When it comes to the safety and trust of your pets, I take it very seriously. I have a secure, fenced yard where your fur babies can play and explore safely. With two friendly dogs of my own, your pets will have great company during their stay. If needed, I can easily crate your dog to ensure their comfort and security. My top priority is providing a safe and loving environment where your pets can feel at home.
“Jason gave me regular updates every day and Zeus always looked as if he was relaxed and comfortable having someone with him. Absolute amazing sitter that I can trust my dog with 💯”
About: Loving pet caregiver in Long Beach! I have a German Shepard mixed who is reactive, energized and loves to chase squirrels, but my whole life I’ve lived with dogs small to big. I can handle pulling as well as some chasing. With a love for all breeds and sizes, I provide safe, fun, and engaging walks for your furry friends. I understand each dog is unique, so I tailor each walk to fit their personality and energy level! Im here to help pet parents who may not have the time to give their dog a walk or need to make sure their pups (or cats) are doing well! I am also active on the wag platform! I provide pet care during my free time! I work part time with a randomized schedule and I also attend school during Wednesday and Thursday! I provide walks and drops in for fur parents who may be too busy and need a lil help. I usually do wag but decided to give rover a shot, so I have experience walking different type of dogs.
“Jennifer took care of my special needs cat and my 3 other cats. She was there morning and night and gave medicine to the diabetic cat I have. I shall be using her again in the near future.”
About: I’ve taken care of and nurtured 3 dogs and 5 cats from in our family home. I am quickly becoming the go-to pet sitter around the neighborhood during vacations or trips at any time of the year. I am available most days, Sundays through Saturdays due to my open and flexible schedule. I am unavailable on the weekends from time to time, but we can always work around that! Diligently provide all needs for your pet above and beyond feeding. Walks, play-time, administration of medications if needed and cleaning up are all part of my service offering! While also making sure the security and cleanliness of the house is maintained.
About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a teen (dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents) and was a cat owner for 10 years. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am home most days with my younger daughter. When we leave the house, we're usually back in 1-3 hours max. So your pet will have lots of supervision and interaction! Our home is still set up as a cat's home. We can provide a quiet dark space if that's what they like or they can be out playing with cat toys and interacting with us if they prefer that! Our front and back doors are always closed and locked, so your cat will always be safely inside.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and now have a two-year-old Yorkie-Dachshund mix named Derby! Being active and playing with him is one of my favorite things to do! Walks around the Claremont Village and trips to dog parks in the area. He is exceptionally well-behaved and loves to interact with other dogs so playtime can be arranged. I get along well with all dogs and have good instincts. I have lots of experience dog sitting and walking. I'm a grad student at Claremont Graduate University with limited income and so am looking to work as much as possible and have complete availability. I am available to walk your dog, drop in and feed and let your dog out while you're at work, and for dog sitting for anywhere from one night to two weeks.

Tresha P.
“Missy, a 16-year-old Lancashire Heeler, has been with me for over 14 years. It is not easy to leave an old dog behind for a few days or weeks when away on business. As Missy became more family with Tresha, I saw the joy she experienced when she knew she would be spending time with her. This allows me to leave her with confidence in the care of another. Tresha always shares moments, videos, and photos of their fun times, and when I returned from my trip, she was the same dog I left behind: a happy one. Tresha has the empathy and intuition required of a pet care provider.”
Michael T.
“Mike has been watching my dog for over 2 years. I think he loves animals more than people. The worst thing you can say about Mike is that he likes the San Francisco Giants. From the moment my dog, Jerry, met Mike, he loved him immediately. Jerry was a pound pit who was found in a cardboard box. He has been sceptical with most people (not aggressive), but has always found Mike to be a person of safety. His soft and nice demeanor makes people, and animals, feel at ease. When Mike watches Jerry, I do not ever question the well-being of my dog. I only question that my dog will be less enthusiastic that he has to return to his actual owner. Mike is a five star person.”

“I couldn’t be more than thrilled to have had Natalie come and check in on my 4 fur babies. Milo, Mia, Molly and Moti had such a fun time being walked and played with. I would highly recommend Natalie for all your doggie needs when ever you need them walked, boarded and check-in on while away.”

Gabrielle T.
“We recently had Gabrielle cat-sit for our two cats while we were away for 10 days, and were very happy with her service. Gabrielle came over every afternoon, ensuring our cats received consistent care and attention. She also went above and beyond by keeping our house clean and watering our plants – something we truly appreciated. The picture updates were a nice touch, giving us peace of mind and letting us see how happy and comfortable our cats were. We highly recommend Gabrielle for her outstanding service! We'll definitely be asking her to sit for us again!”
Cassidy D.
“I’ve known Cassidy for over 18 years. She has cared for my family’s pets so many times. I can’t think of anyone who has more love for animals than Cassidy and her family. She is so responsible and will truly care for a pet like it’s her own.”
Gabriella G.
“Our dog loves Gabriella and the care she gives him. We had 2 dogs and she took great care of them. Now we are down to just Kenobi and she shows his affection and care based on his needs. She has also watched him at our home which has been convenient for us and Kenobi. He likes consistency and she provides that for us when we travel. We would highly recliner Gabriella to care for your pets and also watch from the comfort of your home. Your pets will be in good hands and have loving care.”
