5. Marissa K.
About: Hi, my name is Marissa. I’m from Northern California. My schedule doesn’t allow me to fully take care of a pet, so I decided it’s time to take care of others’ pets. I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers. I’ve mostly been trusted to take care of medium to larger sized dogs, as I’ve experienced them more. This is the first time in my life where I’m not taking care of a pet. It’s very different. I constantly ask my parents to send me pics of our dogs. I miss them! Their names are Callie (7 yrs) and Winston (4 yrs). I have been in and out of the RFV for 3 years. I love every season to which this area has to offer. I enjoy skiing, hiking, and reading. I just miss having dogs in my life! I am more available on the weekends than during the week! I think it’s very important to be around animals! I am unable to care for a pet in my own home, but I am available to commute to a client’s home. I am also willing to find nearby parks and/or designated walking areas if need be.

“Allie was fantastic & my pups loved her from the minute she came over for a meet & greet! She went out of her way to send me photos and videos while I was away & when I came back my house was in impeccable shape. Looking forward to having her house sit again :)”


7. Anthony B.
“I trust Anthony with my cat and dog who need constant supervision. He has always came through for me. I couldn't recommend someone better to take care of a pet!”


8. Calvin U.

“My Lizzie can be a little skittish with stranger but Calvin went above & beyond to ensure she was happy & comfortable. Communication was consistent along with pictures & video. Highly recommended.”


9. Melanie D.

“Melanie was amazing, I was in a tight situation and Melanie came through, was incredibly professional sending updates and pics multiple times a day. I highly recommend her services.”


10. Paola F.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Dog Sitter! I can't recommend Paola enough!!! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in caring, capable hands. Paola took the time to understand my pup's routine, quirks, and needs—and provided updates, photos, and genuine love throughout the stay. What really sets part apart is the attention to detail and the clear passion for animals. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for (and maybe even a little spoiled!). It gave me total peace of mind knowing someone so trustworthy and kind was looking after my furry family member. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. I’ll absolutely be booking again and I’d suggest you do the same before their calendar fills up!”


11. Danica A.

“Danica is THE BEST dog-sitter!! My pup tends to get stressed when I’m away, and this was the first time he seemed truly calm and happy while I was away! She took great, loving care of my dog, kept me updated, took fabulous care of my home, washed all used towels and bedding without being asked, and even left goodies for me and my kids upon our return!! Moreover, she was a perfect fit because she was able to commit to most of every day being company for my dog, which is invaluable. Thank you Danica!! Will definitely hire you again :)”


12. Kimberly S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and ages for 14 years. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship to their pets, including those with special diets and senior needs. I’m experienced with administering basic medications, understanding animal behavior, and creating a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and attention to detail. I am currently working a part-time job but I will have plenty of time to dedicate to pets on weekends and afternoons. I am very flexible with my schedule and can find ways to work something out if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of playtime or walks. I keep the space clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always give updates and photos to reassure you while you're away. I'm comfortable administering medications, crating if needed, and respecting your home's rules and privacy.


13. Moriah S.

“Moriah was amazing! She was attentive, responsive, and communicated with us each day! She took wonderful care of our dog, and we definitely use her again!”


14. Savanna J.
“I recommend Savanna to be a caregiver for all types of pets. I have personally allowed her to care for my dogs, cats, and baby and she has proven to be trustworthy every time! She is reliable, caring, and has good character!”


15. Amandla A.
“Amandla is a very calm mannered and trustworthy person who loves taking care of animals and her friends. Her attentiveness, reliability, and clear communication always make me feel comfortable knowing she’ll keep my Moki safe and happy. I’ve worked with animals my whole life, which makes me very picky with who I trust to give the highest level of care for my girl, Amandla is one of the few I really trust. Your pets will love her”




16. Faith B.

“Faith provided excellent care and communication while we were away! She was wonderful with our quirky rescue dogs and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. Thank you Faith!”


17. Karissa C.
About: Hi I’m Karissa! I’m a passionate pet lover and have been dog & cat sitting for many years, having at least 14 years of experience. I love being around animals of all types and can provide whatever care they may need from overnight stays to daily walks. I grew up around my family dogs and over the years have watched, walked, and cared for my neighbors and friends dogs when needed. I have been around and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I work full time, however I am able to accommodate walks, visits, or overnight stays with my work hours. I am typically available all afternoons and evenings in addition to some mornings depending on the day! I understand that pets are not a one size fits all and with that being said, their needs may vary from one another. Whether they’re a puppy with high energy or a homebody, I am here to accommodate their needs and wants and to make them feel as comfortable as I can for the time I’m there.


18. Carlie U.
“Carlie is a responsible, communicative, and great pet sitter. She has watched my dog Chai on countless occasions - as a puppy, after a surgery, and I can always depend on her to provide great care. Its clear that Chai loves Carlie, given her excitement to see her each time.”


19. shaylee b.
“Shaylee B. is a wonderfully kind individual, who genuinely loves all animals, and they seem to love her back. Both of my dogs cling to her whenever she is present, and always try to go home with her!”
