House Sitting in Barron Park, Palo Alto

“My recent rescue chihuahua LOVED Jennifer. I felt so at ease leaving him for the first time. I was worried since he wasn’t warming up well to humans and was resource guarding, but he seemed so relaxed when I got back. All the pictures of snuggles and walks made my worries disappear. The house was spotless and my flowers lived longer than they would have with me!”

“This was the second time Cj‘s watched our doggo in our apartment while we were on vacation. Both times were perfect and we already booked Cj for another upcoming trip. He took great care of our German Shepherd/Husky mix and from the frequent updates we could tell that our doggo had a great time. Cj even coordinated perfectly when the apartment complex scheduled an unexpected maintenance visit.”

“Gulnur took care of my cat (Cleo, who is a bit skittish) for an extended period of time (housesitting), which she gracefully agreed to extend when a need arose. She was very conscientious about Cleo's comfort, giving Cleo the time she needed to get used to Gulnur and making sure that she was home when the house cleaner came so Cleo wouldn't be afraid of the vacuum cleaner (which she is). Cleo has been sitting in the room where Gulnur stayed, trying to figure out where she can find her for the good body scritches that she gave!”

“Ghazal stayed at our house to take care of our dog and two cats for 10 days. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Our very shy cat warmed to her almost immediately. Gahzal was very responsible and caring. She took the time to replenish the bird feeders in the backyard so even the wild life was happy!”

“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter! She took care of my 14 year old pit bull for the weekend and I came home to a tidy home and a very happy puppy. She also sent some cute photos! Will definitely be using her again.”

“Kavya was great with my nervous dog. She administered medication and walked him even though he is reactive to bigger dogs, and sent me updates almost every hour which was great! She left the house spotless clean after leaving as well.”

“Juna was such a great sitter. Super responsive and sent great updates with pictures. Would recommend and book again!”

“Amara did a great job with Max! He really seemed very attached to her, and she followed all of his routines.”

“Victoria was great! She provided good communication and made me know my dog was in good hands.”

“I’ve know Ingrid for a few years now as a friend and co worker. She’s very compassionate, responsible, and an active learner. She would be a great pet sitter because of her love for animals and experience working with both small and larger animals.”

“Trina took care of Xander and Teal over the holidays. So grateful to her for taking such good care of my babies, especially giving Xander his meds which is a tough job. She is responsible, caring, clean and loving. Would trust her with my babies any day!”

“I was away for 5 days and Malena stayed at my house with my dog Olaf. She did a great job during those days taking him for walks, feeding it and loving him of course. She was so gentle and patient with him. Olaf really likes her and every once in a while she loves to take him for a walk too. I totally recommend her to take care of any pet.”

“Tina has been a great dog walker for us and our two dogs. Our dogs can both be pullers but once they got used to Tina they have become better on their walks! We always look forward to working with Tina!”

“Courtney is a wonderful pet care taker. She is passionate, knowledgeable and reliable. My cats and dog love Courtney. Even my shy cat comes out when Courtney is around. She is the type of person that loves greeting any animal on a walk and is very respectful. I trust her with my three fur children.”

“Koda quickly warmed up to Farzin and his calming personality. Farzin took great care of our boy, and we would gladly work with Farzin again in the future.”

“Katherine did a fantastic job with my Rosie! So glad to have found her!”

“Colleen looked after my dog Patty for 9 days while I was on vacation, and she was fantastic! She's communicative, quick to respond, friendly, and clearly very responsible and organized. I left for my trip knowing that Patty was in great hands :) Colleen sent regular updates and photos, was flexible and accommodating with pick-up and drop-off, and clearly did an amazing job of looking after Patty. She went on frequent walks, and Patty was relaxed and happy when I got back :) I'd highly recommend Colleen to look after your pup, she's wonderful!”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life - dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, etc. in rural NY. In college, I lived with my brother and helped raise his emotional support lab Georgia. I love and care deeply for animals and want to make your animal feel at home as well. Currently I live at a location where I can not have a dog and I am missing the crazy energy and puppy love. I am currently looking to care for animals as my full time career. Very flexible with hours and availability to help clients care for their animals! I have a orange cat at home and he is my partener in crime! I portion food for him daily, brush him, and ensure he gets all the belly rubs possible :) I grew up with 4 different dogs over my life and have experience with new born puppies to 16 year old Pomeranians. Walking, teaching tricks, running, and belly rubs are ways I care for dogs!

“Jake has been great! We left town for a week, and he housesat for our high energy golden retriever puppy (8 months). She seemed very happy and well taken care of when we came home. House was spotless. He was very responsive and sent daily pics. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend Isabel! She took great care of our dog and home for 3 nights while we were out of town, sent us regular updates, and gave our high energy 2yo border collie lots of exercise and attention! We can’t wait to work with her again. Thanks Isabel!”
