“Tillana gets my highest recommendation! My high energy golden puppy had the most amazing time at dog sitting going to the Baylands, on long walks and playing with other pups! Tillana was easy to contact, gave tons of photo and video updates and was the most pleasant and warm person to work with ? I will 100% be returning for her services! Maisie came home content and sleepy from her long day of play & I felt at ease knowing that she was in the best of hands while I was away!”
“Stacey was great to work with! She was a great communicator, made pick up and drop off very easy and checked in with me throughout Bogey’s stay. My pupper seemed super comfortable and at easy with her and her dogs as well. Will definitely be working with her again :)”
“We had such a great experience with Yun! Finley came home happy and well cared for, and Yun kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Everything was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I truly felt like Finley was in wonderful hands, and I would absolutely book with Yun again!”
“Allison has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lulu! She has great communication, is very flexible, and clearly truly cares about the dogs she watches. From the beginning, she took the time to ask detailed questions about Lulu’s routine so she could keep everything as consistent as possible while we were away. She sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Lulu was happy and well cared for. What really appreciated was that even though Lulu is still in training, Allison continued the habits and routines we’ve been working on at home. There was no disruption when Lulu came back to us, no acting out or setbacks. We will absolutely be repeat clients and would recommend her without hesitation. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet like their own, Allison is your person!”
“Boba had a wonderful time at daycare and made some great doggy friends. Manli is a very caring and attentive dog sitter who clearly loves what she does. We felt very comfortable leaving Boba in her care. We will definitely come back again the next time we need a sitter!”
“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”
About: We have a standard poodle Joki - who joined us in 2020 from a breeder. Joki is well trained and behave very well with other animals and people. I’m currently work from home so I am able to take care of pers all day during the day and provide multiple potty breaks as need. We have fenced front and back yard available for dogs to play and break. We can offer a fence if two dogs need to be kept separate.
“Sein is a fantastic sitter! She takes great care of my pup Little Bear and you can tell she’s very gentle with him (he has separation anxiety). Always responsive and ensures Little Bear has many walks and is fed as requested. Highly, highly recommend booking with Sein!!”
“Lia shared nice updates and videos of our Julie investigating Lia's spacious backyard or relaxing inside. She was so friendly and accommodating when I needed to make some last minute changes to our original plan. Julie seemed to enjoy her time with Lia and I felt like Lia was happy to have our sweet, senior girl roaming around her place or napping and snoring!”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.
“Silvana is a dog whisperer! She has a way with dogs that makes them very calm and happy even when they just meet. She is super sweet and sent me pictures throughout the stay.”
About: I have periodically taken care of a family members dog which also included home stays (two week maximum), outdoor adventures, and beach visits. I currently do doggy day outs at pet shelters when needed and have had no trouble in the past. I have always been a dog lover and enjoy meeting new furry friends daily. I currently work with the city of Redwood City during the night shift so my days are completely free and I’m looking to fill them with friendly fun companions as we take adventures together and create wonderful memories for your pups I have a furry nephew by the name of Larry who is a golden retriever that loves meeting new people and animals on the daily. We usually go for walks after breakfast everyday then come home for a small nap. Once the good boy is up from his name we will have lunch then follow up with an afternoon hike or a walk by the water to introduce him to new smells. I do have a fenced yard that has plenty of space for play dates or doggy days in as well as a loving mother that cooks homemade dog food for our furry friends which we have had no trouble feeding them and accommodate to our furry friends needs.
About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while I'm home for the summer. I’m vegan and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule right now, so I'm around to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends over the last couple of years, so I'm super comfortable handling feedings, walks, and overnight stays! I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a typical 9-to-5, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know how to keep everything clean and safe.
About: With nearly three decades as a devoted dog mom, I understand that every dog is unique with their own personality, needs, and quirks. My 29 years of hands-on experience means I've cared for dogs through every life stage - from energetic puppies learning their first commands to gentle seniors needing extra comfort and patience. I've developed a keen eye for reading canine body language and behavior, helping anxious dogs feel secure and keeping active pups properly exercised and mentally stimulated. What truly sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs combined with the wisdom that only comes from years of dedicated pet parenthood. Your furry family member won't just be watched - they'll be loved, understood, and cared for as if they were my own. As a fitness instructor working about 10 hours per week, I have an incredibly flexible schedule that's perfect for pet care. The majority of my time is spent working from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, and companionship. My fitness background also means I understand the importance of regular exercise - both for myself and the dogs in my care. I naturally incorporate dog walks and active play into my daily routine, often timing outdoor activities around my own workout schedule. This ensures your pup gets plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. Since I work from home, dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They become part of my daily routine - morning walks before I start work, midday play sessions and potty breaks, and evening walks or park visits. My schedule easily adapts to each dog's specific needs, whether that's multiple short walks for a senior dog or high-energy play sessions for younger pups. The combination of my flexible schedule, active lifestyle, and home-based work creates the perfect environment for providing consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I have a large, securely gated backyard with direct access to a nearby park for walks and extended playtime. Dogs stay inside my home and sleep indoors for safety and comfort - no garage or outdoor sleeping. During the day when I'm home, they have free access to move between inside and outside as they please. I maintain their regular feeding schedule and any special dietary requirements, provide fresh water at all times, and ensure they get appropriate exercise based on their age and energy level. I follow all medication schedules and special care instructions exactly as provided. For anxious or senior dogs, I offer extra comfort and patience, while energetic pups get plenty of mental stimulation and play. I send regular photo and text updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well-cared for. My goal is to maintain your dog's routine as closely as possible while showering them with the love and attention they deserve. Safety is always my top priority - secure fencing, pet-proofed spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

Here’s a polished version you could send or post: I honestly couldn’t have raised Miguel without Olga. She has been a huge part of his life since he was a puppy, and there is no one I trust more to care for him. Knowing he was with someone who genuinely loved him and treated him like family gave me complete peace of mind. As I prepare to leave California, one of the hardest goodbyes will be saying goodbye to Olga. Miguel is going to miss his time with her and all of his pup friends, and I’m going to miss knowing he’s in such caring and capable hands. Finding someone trustworthy to care for your dog is incredibly difficult these days, but Olga is truly one of a kind. She is reliable, compassionate, attentive, and treats every dog as if they were her own. If you’re looking for an amazing dog sitter, I cannot recommend her highly enough. We are so grateful for everything she has done for Miguel and our family. ❤️🐾

Although Tori can be shy at first, she bonded with Sarah instantly and had a fantastic time playing with the other dogs. I especially appreciate Sarah's patience with Tori's eating habits. Tori is a picky eater, and it was so kind of her to hand-feed Tori to ensure she was well-fed. Sarah also sent plenty of photo updates and took her on long walks. I highly recommend Sarah, and will definitely be back for another stay
I felt very good leaving Kody in Yi and her husband’s warm and capable care. My anxious pup was quickly put at ease and settled in. Yi sent lots of photo updates and Kody seemed to be having a great time - playing, getting belly rubs, going on multiple walks, etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Yi.
