“Jiaji was a fantastic sitter for our two kittens (5-6 months old)! She is very communicative and thorough in her visits and care notes. She went above and beyond to give added care when the kittens needed a bit more attention and some medication application. She also took very good care of our home. Highly recommend!”
“I am so lucky to have found Veronica! I work in emergency services and am on graveyards and Veronica has been a life saver when it comes to checking in on my dog while I’m at work. She communicates throughout the visit, plays, walks and cleans up after my pup. Couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“I was initially apprehensive of leaving Oreo with a sitter, since he's a strong XL dog who can be reactive to other dogs. But I knew he was in safe hands with Su. Su took wonderful care of our dog during her drop in visits, and gave us cute pictures of Oreo with each of her visits. I didn't have to worry at all about Oreo during my trip.”
“Siqin once again did a great job with Bhaiya, even when my travel plans were delayed and she had to step in for an extra day. She's patient with Bhaiya so that he becomes comfortable and eases in. She is highly recommended and very good with animals.”
“We are regulars with Shirley because she is awesome. She is reliable, on time, and always sends detailed Rover card with information about the visit and lots of pictures. We feel that our cats are safe with Shirley!”
About: I genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. I enjoy spending time with them and build strong emotional bonds. Many of my friends trust me to care for their pets because I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs. I work from home and can regularly visit your home to spend time with your pets, feed them, and play with them on weekdays and weekends. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because I believe they feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extended time with pets during the day — providing companionship, playtime, feeding, and regular check-ins rather than only short visits. When I am in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all house rules and care instructions. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure pets stay in safe areas, and never bring visitors or outside animals into the home. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and medication if needed, so their lifestyle remains consistent and stress-free. I pay careful attention to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment — and to care for every pet with the same patience and respect I would give to my own family.
About: I have several years of experience in dog care, I offer a personalized, loving and responsible service. I specialize in the care of puppies, as well as in the accompaniment of older dogs. What sets me apart is my focus on the emotional well-being of each pet: I don't just take care of it, but I connect. I adapt to their routines, their fears and their needs, as if they were part of my own family. In addition, I send daily updates with photos and comments so that the guardians are always calm. My commitment is to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment, so that your furry friend is happy even when you are not around. Pet care is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I organize my routine according to the needs of each furry friend, ensuring enough time for walks, feeding, play, rest and personalized attention. Whether it's during the week or on weekends, I always reserve specific spaces to provide quality care, without haste and with a lot of dedication. For me, it's not just another task of the day: it's a responsibility that I enjoy and value deeply. Each visit or walk is an opportunity for connection, affection and trust. Whether I take care of pets in my home or in the client's home, my priority is always their safety, well-being, and comfort. I make sure that each space is safe, free of dangerous objects, and adapted to their needs (such as quiet rest areas, play areas, and constant access to fresh water). In my house, dogs are integrated as part of the family: they are not in cages or locked up, but they share spaces with me, with constant supervision, daily walks, and lots of love. I follow their usual routines to make them feel at home, and I keep the environment clean, ventilated, and respectful of the environment. When the care is in the client's home, I absolutely respect their instructions, their rules, and the pet's space. I maintain the cleanliness, routine, and tranquility of the animal to avoid any stress. In addition, I maintain fluid communication with the guardians so that they are always aware of how their furry friend is doing.
About: I’m a proud dog owner and lifelong animal lover who knows pets are family! I understand how important routines, patience, and lots of love are for happy pups. I’ll always care for your dog like they’re my own with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles along the way 🐾 While I have my own dog, I will add what you need into my routine and follow any instructions provided. A dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust that someone will follow your animals routine. I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine consistent and stress free. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets receive lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, and comfort while their owners are away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos during visits!
“Jessica, is exceptional, she took great care of my two dogs. She sent me adorable pictures and kept me informed about their well-being during her visits. I highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook her whenever I travel.”
About: Hi! I'm Natalie and I'm looking forward to possibly getting to know you and your fur babies! A little about myself: I'm very detail oriented and caring, meaning that your pets will be watched carefully and respectfully. I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. I'm open and communicative and I'm always willing to connect with you. I'm a recent college graduate from San Diego State and a Bay Area native! I'm currently back home after graduation and looking for a job in the media industry, currently with a lot of free time on my hands! I'm starting to book for Bay Area residents starting June 14th, 2026 after moving back from San Diego! I will make sure to follow rules that the pet is familiar with (for example: no jumping on couches; going outside for bathroom breaks, etc.) and if the owner is currently training the pet, I will help with that as well.
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Sara and Raymond were great cat sitters. Very attentive, professional, responsive and detail-oriented. I felt my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book them again and highly recommend!”
About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.
“Sara is seriously the best ! She’s treats my sweet girl like her own and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s happy and comfortable. I travel a lot for work and Sara sends me a ton of photos and videos which gives me peace of mind.”
“Chloe is very friendly and obviously loves animals as she was very kind to all my pets. She took good care of my dog and we will definitely choose Chloe again. Thank you Chloe!”

Jill was wonderful. She was so patient with my shy cats and made sure they ate! She also cleaned up after them when they were messy. I really appreciated all the great photos. This was the first time my cats and I had a non family member take care of the cats, and Jill took care of my anxiety as well as my cats’ needs.
Paige was warm, kind, and very easy to work with. From our first meeting, she took an interest in learning about my outdoor cats and their individual needs. She provided updates during her visits, which I appreciated, and it was clear that she cared about the animals. I found Paige to be communicative and friendly throughout the booking. She was also very accommodating when our schedule changed and made arrangements to be flexible! Thank you for helping care for my cats and for taking the time to keep me informed while I was away!
Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on. We were so incredibly worried about our kitty and Diana put us at ease with her care. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also just so kind, patient, generous, and communicative the whole way!
Ashley takes great care of our two cats, Miko and Hutcha, during our time away. She did everything we requested, and is very good with communication. We are especially delighted and surprised to hear that Miko approached Ashley and they played. It’s good to see that Miko has become more socialized (with the right person!)
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Charlene as our cat sitter. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and went out of her way to make sure our cats were comfortable and cared for while we were away. What really stood out to us was how genuinely sweet and caring she was with them — she didn’t just stop by to complete the basics, but actually spent quality time playing with them and giving them attention during every visit. We could tell she truly cares about animals, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! 😊 Sijia was incredibly kind, flexible, reliable, and took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with both our cat and our home. What meant the most to us was how quickly the two of them connected — our cat loved her right away, and it was obvious that she truly cares about animals and pays attention to every little detail. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip, and we could really relax knowing he was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for all the care and love she gave him. We will absolutely book her again for our next vacation and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter! ❤️
Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.
I would highly recommend Zhengjun when considering someone to take care of your pet. Zhengjun stepped up and took over for my original sitter when that arrangement didn’t work out properly. Without Zhengjun’s assistance we would have been in a real predicament. So thank you Zhengjun for stepping up and saving the day!!
