“Robyn did a great job taking care of our three boys while we were away. She definitely gets cats and was amazing when she came over to meet them and helped them get over their shyness. We will definitely book again should we have a need!”


“Tori provides exceptional care and we are quite impressed with her professionalism and expertise. She’s been so patient and gentle while getting to know our shy girl who adores her now. Her communication has been top notch and we’ve so enjoyed reading her detailed report cards after each visit. I’m so happy we’ve found her and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“This is our third time working with Ronda and we’re very happy with her work! She remembers the details from the last visits and she always sends great updates and pictures of our two cats.”


“Madelyn did such a great job with our pups. She was very communicative and thorough. My dogs seemed relaxed and happy from their play time when we got home. I will definitely bring using her again for any needs.”


“Lynden and Timothy did a great job taking care of my 2 bullies for the weekend. They also do drop in visits one day a week for me. They always take great care and send great photos as well.”


“Cheryl was an excellent dog sitter for us! It was out first time having her take care of our fur baby, Lola. Cheryl had a good connection with Lola right away during the meet and greet and also communicated well with us then in helping us get to know her a bit and about the logistics of the care. During the 4 day pet sitting gig with a few drop in visits each day, she did an excellent job keeping us in the loop during each visit about how Lola seemed or what she did. That and the fact that she added pictures each visit helped me feel Lola was getting well cared for. Some of the pics were adorable, I might add :). Oh yeah, and she generously even left us some human treats on her last visit! I will definitely reach out to Cheryl again for future fur baby care needs!”


“Michelle is truly a cat whisperer. We left for our honeymoon and needed a sitter. Problem was with all of the people we’d hosted for the wedding, our poor kitty was pretty overwhelmed. When Michelle came over for the meet and greet at first she was shy but after hearing Michelle’s voice she came out of her hiding place and went right into her lap for pets. When we returned, we could tell they’d gotten to spend some good time together because our kitty was calm, happy and didn’t appear to be stressed at all. Will definitely book Michelle again if needed!”


About: I am a healthcare provider who is looking to help fur babies and their parents with walks and care during my time off. I currently have one German Shepherd dog named Tula and two one eyed cats named Winky and Willy. Tula and I love our time outdoors exploring and I look forward to sharing that with your fur baby. I have experience with a variety of ages and breeds of dogs in addition to some basic training. I hope I can be a helpful fit for you and your family! With my schedule I often have days off during the week that I am able to utilize my time to help care for others fur babies. I understand the difficulty finding someone who cares for your baby as much as you do, and that is why I am choosing to help others with that when I can. I am willing and able to feed, walk, play, and give all the attention needed for your baby. I have done basic training and am willing to keep up on training consistency while I am spending time with them.


“Lindsey was great with my kitties - she got my shy kitty to come out for each of her visits. Her communication was excellent both when preparing for her visits and throughout my time away. I loved seeing pictures of the kitties each day. I will definitely outreach to her again the next time I need a cat sitter.”


“Regina clearly loves animals! My two dogs and cat warmed up to her right away. She was responsive and communicative. Will definitely consider booking her again in the future.”

“Jordan is awesome! She dropped in to check on my dogs for me while I was away. She took great pics of them and provided detail updates on how they were that made me feel at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like family and my well-rounded experience with dogs at every life stage and temperament. I have hands-on experience training puppies, helping them build positive habits through structure, patience, and consistency. I’ve also worked with dogs who’ve shown previous aggression or reactivity and know how to create a calm, controlled environment that supports behavior management and trust-building. In addition, I’ve cared for senior dogs post-surgery, including those needing extra support with mobility, comfort, and detailed medication schedules. I’m confident managing complex care routines and always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, aging, or needs a little extra help, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building a bond with every pet I care for. You can trust that your dog will be in thoughtful, experienced, and loving hands while you’re away. As a full-time remote nursing student with a background in pharmacy and medication management, I bring a high level of attention, care, and reliability to every cat or dog I look after. I have a senior black lab of my own, so I truly understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle companionship—especially for aging pets or those with special medical needs. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playtime, walks, or help with medications, I tailor my approach to their unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of pet temperaments, from affectionate lap cats to active dogs or more independent animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With me, your cat or dog will be in calm, capable hands—and you’ll get regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like family. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. During drop-ins, I follow your care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box scooping, or just giving your pet some love and attention. I take time to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, seen, and cared for before I leave. For walks, I make sure your dog gets exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and comfortable. I’m happy to adjust the pace and route based on their energy level, age, or mobility. I always prioritize leash safety, weather-appropriate care, and positive interactions. As a remote nursing student with a flexible schedule and a background in pharmacy and medication management, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

“Savannah was fantastic! We hired her to drop-in on our border collie for ten days over Christmas and New Year’s. She was such a trooper between the holiday and late night check-ins and also got a long great with our two cats. Will definitely be using her in the future for our pet sitting needs!”

“Amir took great care of our cats and cow while we were away on our trip to Seattle! He was super detailed and asked a lot of great questions during the meet and greet to make sure he was prepared. He was super punctual and took great care of our animals! We will definitely use him again in the future when we need to! Highly recommend!”


About: My primary reason for dog sitting is simply because I love spending time with animals. I just moved back to the area and am looking forward to continuing working with Rover and making some new 4-legged friends:) Dogs that I am sitting can spend their days lounging around with me, playing in the yard, going for walks and other fun outings when appropriate. I know that every dog is different and has different physical and emotional needs. I will make sure they're getting their individual doggie needs met as well as shower them with plenty of love and attention while you are away. I have been around animals my whole life as well as raised an amazing 13 year Goldendoodle. Also, I spent 2 years working with Paws To Freedom assisting in Service Dog Training. In addition, my love for animals as lead me to volunteering at local shelters and fostering when needed. I have plenty of experience with a variety of animals and have taken cared for dozens of dogs while owners were away. Most importantly though, I have a genuine love and respect for animals emotional and physical wellbeing:) My schedule is very flexible and I am pretty much home full-time most days of the week. I can easily accommodate advanced scheduling and can sometimes accommodate last minute as well. This is however, very part-time for me so my schedule may fill up quickly at times. In my home pets are part of the family. They get treated with the love and respect just like any other member of the household.

Her own dog is the most well-trained dog I’ve met, and she did all of his training on her own-it’s amazing! She has also fostered a cat and a rabbit, caring for them until they were able to find their forever homes. She treated those foster animals as if they were her own and I know she would treat any dog she was dog sitting that way! I absolutely, hands down would choose Erykah as my number one top recommendation for anyone looking for a dog sitter!!!”
