Pet Sitting in Diablo

“This is our 2nd time with Leilani and our cat was very happy to see her again! She is super responsive (and patient too), another great experience!”

“Dear Perspective Client, It is with pleasure that I write a letter of recommendation for Aditya Pathak. Aditya is a calm and gentle pet handler who has proved himself to be a wonderful companion to all our furry and feathered friends over the years, growing up in a home with dogs and birds. It’s this incredible quality of intutive caring and love of animals, especially dogs that has drawn family and friends to request for pet care services of him, over the years. All clients and their pets seem to adore him. He has not only cared and raised our two rescued pit bulls, Eden and Roscoe but also helped train and rehabilitate them to become relaxed, sociable and happy dogs. He is dependable, reliable and willing to adjust his timings/visits to care (including administer medication) for sick and medically challenged dogs. Providing timely and compassionate administration of medication and comfort, including pet-sitting services for traveling owners, has proved invaluable to both clients and their much loved pets. Rest assured your pets will be in capable and caring hands.”

“Tugba was a great sitter for our kitty! Besides the usual watering and feeding , she brushed her every day and was very communicative throughout the week. Highly recommended!!”

“Emily has shown a canny ability to engage with the Terrier that we occasionally ask her to watch. Lilac is typically a bit shy around younger folks but has gotten along great with Emily. Indeed, Lilac feels very comfortable with Emily and would always be super excited whenever Emily comes to visit. Emily has a shining personality and her passion shows in her handling of dogs. Totally trust Emily to help with caring for pets.”

“Mary was wonderful! She sent me lots of photos and it’s clear Pippin really felt comfortable with her. He was totally hamming it up and being very snuggly which is always a good sign. He was in good spirits upon my return as well! Will definitely be working with Mary again ☺️”

“Lindsey has watched my dogs for over 7 years now. She is very experienced, flexible, responsible, patient, and most importantly understands my dogs. I have two 15lbs Pomeranian that are high maintenance and every time I leave them with Lindsey, I know they are in good hands. They can be difficult to walk (they don't like other dogs) and I know she is able to control and handle the situation properly. She is very caring and gives them lots of love. I know when she dog sits, she puts them first and makes them a priority. I highly recommend Lindsey. She is a dog lover!”

“Rachel was a pleasure to work with. She was reliable, prompt, and most importantly our dog loves her. We will definitely request her services again. Thanks Rachel!”

“Sabrina has extensive experience working with dogs and has provided expert care to my own dog, Moku. I highly recommend Sabrina for all of your pet care needs. She is very attentive, responsible and capable of taking care of any dog regardless of size or temperament. My dog loves Sabrina and I am sure yours will too!”

“Excellent with my pups…. Definitely went above and beyond, even cleaning up after one pup that got sick in his crate. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Joseph is a great observer, very empathetic and has a heart. He is a friend to all big and small and treats everyone, everything with respect!”

“I sure did a great job with my two dogs. She is very sweet and has a very calming affect on the dogs. Very friendly and very patient with my pitbull who ended up really liking her”

About: My experience consists of training and care for small to large breed dogs from puppyhood to "golden senior", as well as cat and rodent care. I work full time, largely remotely. My "in office" schedule is flexible and I will not accept jobs on days that I must be in office. I have three dogs (2 small breed, one standard size bernedoodle), 1 cat, and children. My animals hang out with me essentially all day (and we have great conversations)! Pets in my home will have access to my home, my home office, and my fenced backyard. I have a dog door and will be home with them. We will walk at temperature-appropriate times.

“Marianne is a natural animal lover. She took care of two family dogs (Tasha who was a 16 year old German Shepherd and Rufio who was a 15 year old Siberian Husky). They both loved walks and spending time with my sister Marianne. They both lived long happy lives. She a natural caregiver and is very responsible and reliable. She has also taken care of friends and families for babies such as cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and hermit crabs! Would definitely recommend her for Rover :)”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is not just my experience, but the deep, personal connection I have with animals. Having raised four Labrador Retrievers from puppy-hood to their senior years, I have a profound understanding of the different stages of a dog's life. This experience has equipped me with the skills to handle everything from the boundless energy of puppies, teaching them basic obedience and house manners, to the delicate care required for older dogs, ensuring they remain comfortable and healthy in their later years. My journey with my 10-year-old yellow lab, from an 8-week-old puppy to a dignified senior, has taught me patience, adaptability, and the special nuances of nurturing animals through every phase of their lives. Our family is deeply rooted in a love for animals, shared enthusiastically by our 6-year-old and 8-year-old. Their joy and compassion for our pets illuminate our home with laughter and tenderness. They actively participate in caring for our pets, learning responsibility and empathy through feeding, grooming, and playing. This family-oriented approach ensures that every animal in our care experiences a warm, nurturing environment, surrounded by love and playful energy. Our children's involvement also means that pets in our care get used to young, energetic companions, making our home the perfect haven for pets from families with young children. Pet care is seamlessly woven into our daily routine, reflecting our deep commitment to the well-being of our furry family members. Each day begins with a morning walk, which is a refreshing start not only for our pets but also for the whole family. This is followed by a nutritious breakfast tailored to each pet's dietary needs. Throughout the day, our pets are integrated into family activities, ensuring they receive plenty of interaction, exercise, and mental stimulation. This routine not only keeps our pets happy and healthy but also teaches our children consistency and responsibility, making pet care a fundamental part of our family's lifestyle. In our home, pet care is centered around creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. Our fenced-in yard provides a secure space for pets to play and explore outdoors without worry. Inside, we ensure a cozy and safe area for each pet, with their own designated spots for sleeping and relaxing, along with plenty of toys and enrichment activities tailored to their needs and preferences. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owners regarding feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I ensure that each pet receives individual attention, whether that involves playing or simply spending quality time together.

“I have a 80 lb German Shepard mix ,Buck, that Mary Jane helped me train since he was 5 months old. She takes care of him when I have to travel for work. Buck loves when Mary Jane comes to take care of him. I feel very relaxed whenever I have to leave town, which is frequently, knowing Buck and my house are in great hands. She treats my dog like her own.”

“Hannah was great!! Our dog really loved her. We felt confident and at ease knowing that Hannah was their to spend time with Gryffin. We would not hesitate to have Hannah come again! Thank you Hannah!!”

“Fei is so kind, and she went above and beyond while caring for my cat. She is quick and thorough with communication, asks a lot of important questions, and makes sure to check in frequently. My cat absolutely loved her, and I could tell he was very well taken care of and loved while I was away. Also, my apartment and all of my cat's space/things were well-maintained and neat when I got back, which I appreciate so much. I would 100% ask Fei to watch my pet again in the future and would highly recommend booking her. Thank you, Fei!!! :)”

“Sahaila is a huge dog lover, which makes her a great pet sitter! She has taken care of my dogs numerous times and they have had no problems having her as their pet sitter. I know I can always rely on her for any updates or concerns with my dogs. You won’t be disappointed!”

About: What’s better than 1 dog sitter? A 2 For 1 special! Treonna (Long hair) - Currently working in a 24 hour pet hotel (since 2015). Experience with giving meds, aggressive behavior, training, and dog CPR. Have had 2 dogs and an gecko in the past. Currently have 2 dogs, a cat and a bunny. Would love to have one more dog and a yard for them to run around in. Destiny (Black Turban) - Raised 4 litters of stray cats starting at age 14. Assisted at pet hotel. Main pet sitter for most of family members. My wife and I work opposite times of the day so our pets always have someone with them. It’s starts with me taking our dogs out for a walk before I leave for work at 4am. Then when Treonna gets home at 7am, it’s time for breakfast and another walk. When I get off work and return home, it’s time for another walk and then nap until Treonna starts her graveyard shift. Our dogs rotate going with her to keep her company while she works. I have a Belgian shepherd puppy who is super playful and loves to make new friends. She is available for doggy play dates upon client request. Our cat likes to keep to herself but is slowly coming out of her shell. She is enjoying the company of humans and other cats

“Katie was super organized and great with our dog Lewis. Highly recommended and I think we have found someone who we trust to look after Lewis on our trips away. Big Thank You”
