“Morgan took exceptional care of my two cats! She’s reliable, responsive, and very kind. I felt totally at peace being away from my babies, I’ve actually already booked Morgan again! She’s fantastic, and I’m so glad to have found her.”
“Danielle was great! Super thorough and professional. She came for drop-in visits while we were out of town for 4 days and provided comprehensive updates and photos with every visit. I could tell the cats loved her based off the photos! She went above and beyond - would highly recommend!”
“I had an ant problem unfortunately and Nina & Leo took care of it as well as taking great care of my cat. I was able to return home to the ant problem solved and a happy cat. I was able to enjoy my time away. I thoroughly trust & recommend them.”
“Qinyun is super responsible and able to handle many unexpected situations! She has been my go-to cat sitter whenever we are away from home. I will recommend her to any cat parents nearby!”
About: I’ve done frequent drop in visits to care for a friend’s cat while they were away. I know that every cat has their own routine so have a fine attention to detail to follow directions, ensuring that they are well loved under my care so that you can have peace of mind when you’re gone! I only work 3 days a week so based on my work schedule, I have the flexibility to help others with their pet care needs! I will ensure that your cats are fed on their normal schedule, can scoop the litter, and provide ample play time with worm toys and treats.
“Yeri is a very reliable sitter. She took great care of our shy cats and followed all of our guidelines closely. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter for their pets.”
“Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!”
“Hannah took fantastic care of our Roo! For a cat notoriously slow to warm up to strangers, he fell in love with Hannah immediately. We received thorough updates and adorable photos every day, and we will definitely be booking with Hannah again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have spent the past 10 years fostering and rescuing my own dogs. I have 2 rescues with very different needs and energy levels and have spent the past 8+ years learning how to communicate with dogs and learn their behaviors and language. Happy to learn and adapt to any animal and reinforce training and behaviors. I work part time and remotely so have lots of flexibility in my schedule and accept short term bookings. I love animals and exploring the Bay Area outside with the girth friends. I am completely open to keeping the pets current schedule and would love to learn what works best for them and take lots of pictures and provide updates as often as you want.
“Marilyn did a great job watching our cat while we were away. He tends to be pretty shy and she got him out of his shell. She was communicative and responsive. Thanks!”
“Brianna took excellent care of my cat while I was away. I needed a catsitter at the last minute and appreciated that she was quick to respond and flexible. She followed instructions well and left my apartment spotless. Would hire again!”
About: I’ve had/taken care of dogs since the day I was born. In my 22 years of living, my family and I have not gone a day without owning multiple dogs/pets at once, we have always had 2-4 dogs as part of our family and I love it, I love taking care of them. I have had very big dogs - such as English mastiffs, and I have had small/medium dogs - such as Miniature Dachshunds and French Bulldogs. This would be my only source of income at the moment as I try to figure out what I want to do for my main career, so I have plenty of time from Monday-Thursday to care for your puppies. I’ll only be walking dogs for the moment, so I’d be making sure to walk them at a pace that seems good for them, and I’d be making sure that they seem ok and happy throughout the time of the walk. I’ll make any accommodations based on your dog depending on his/her needs, and I’ll adjust how we walk depending on the weather.
About: I have over 25 years experience providing professional dog care for dozens of breeds of dogs. I am very comfortable with all breeds both small and large and as a 3 time Irish setter owner I have experience with dogs that are very active and very needy of attention. I will be happy to set up a personal care plan involving walks, feeding, and any other component that you require to make sure your dog is always happy, safe, and well attended! I work from home doing administrative tasks for my brother’s construction company. Your dog will be able to spend its time either playing in our large grassy back yard or inside with me. I live with my father so in the event I have to leave briefly there will be someone home with your dog 24 hours a day. I have a large grassy gated backyard and my work station looks out on it so I will be able to ensure that your pet never goes unattended. Your pet will be able to go inside and out at their choosing. We can also schedule as many walks per day as you choose. I can guarantee, based on decades of experience that your dog will be safe and very happy in my care.

Cora did a great job with my cat, Zorro! She sent a pic along with each visit, and was able to administer his medication with no problem. She was quick to let me know of any issues (litter robot not working, vomit on couch) and was very helpful in fixing the issue. I recommend her to other fur-parents!
Kylie was fantastic and did a great job with our cat!! He needs eye drops and she was able to get him his eyedrops which is not an easy feat, his eye looked much better than it has with other sitters when we got home! She gave great updates everyday and our cat was clearly well loved while we were gone. We will absolutely hire her again any highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful cat sitter:)
I wanted to leave a review for Patrick who watched over our cat during the holiday break. He provided us with updates and excellent photos of our girl while we were away. We knew she was in good hands with a true pet professional! Patrick is a perfect sitter for your pet.
We had a wonderful experience working with Justine! We were nervous to leave our kitty at home for the first time but she immediately put our minds at ease. She proactively reached out for info ahead of time, was prompt for visits, sent us photos, and even offered to help with other things around the house while we were away. She was kind and patient with our shy kitty and followed the instructions we left. We'll definitely book Justine again when we need a Rover. Thank you, Justine!
Lisa took great care of our 4 month old kitten for drop in visits. She was professional, communicative, sent daily updates and photos. When we came home our kitten seemed very content and happy and everything was tidy. We felt very at ease and would strongly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy pet care.
Kim did a wonderful job!! My cat loved her, and she was very communicative and went above and beyond with my pet Russian tortoise, who can be a reluctant eater in the winter and needed some extra care. Got great updates and check-ins every day. Will absolutely be asking her to watch them again.
Chelsea is AMAZING! She is so great with our cats—they love her and always come out to greet her despite being very shy. She also accommodated us over a holiday weekend last minute which we will forever be grateful for. She is very communicative, attentive, and considerate. Could not recommend more!
Vanessa was great with our small dog grizzly and two cats. Grizzly can be grumpy but Vanessa won him over quickly and everything was very smooth. She was flexible, communicative, and professional. We will definitely book again in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their pet!
Menqi and I had a video chat prior to the sit. Her questions and concerns were thoughtful and thorough. It was also a pleasure to meet her kitties via the chat. Menqi qas on time for the sit and shared images of Dorrie. My other kitty, Cinder, is quite shy therfore I was not surprised that she didnt see him. I arrived home to happy ,and fed kitties ,and a clean litter box. Thank you. I would definitely request Menqi to drop in, again, while I am away.
Rebecca was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She communicated with us regularly, gave our cats plenty of attention and playtime, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She even went above and beyond by picking up extra dry cat food when the feeder was running low. We highly recommend Rebecca!
