“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”
“Ava has been walking Ollie for several months now, but she recently house sat for us. Again, she was communicative the whole time including before/after the booking. She kept our apartment clean and followed all our instructions/requests. Ollie loves her and is always so excited to see her. We really appreciate all her help!”
“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”
“Merci was an incredible house/dog sitter! So considerate of our two dogs (who can both be quite a handful). Excellent communication, lots of pictures and thoughtful updates. Our two dogs were enriched by Merci!”
About: My fiancé and I have been pet-sitting for friends over the years and love spending time with dogs. For work, I'm a software engineer and he's in pharmaceuticals—we would have a dog of our own if our current travel schedules allowed it, but in the meantime we love giving that energy and attention to caring for other people’s pups. My fiancé grew up with large dogs, and I’m regularly around both large and small dogs at work, so we're comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves active adventures, long walks, trips to the dog park, or just relaxing and getting plenty of attention, we’re happy to match their vibe. When your dog stays with us, they’ll get lots of playtime, care, and companionship. We’re responsible, communicative, and happy to follow your dog’s usual routines so they feel comfortable and at home. We treat every dog like they’re our own and want both you and your pup to feel completely at ease while you’re away. We’re also happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing. We enjoy building our plans around the dogs we’re caring for. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility for walks and playtime during the day. We’re also available on weekends and love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s longer walks, time at the park, or exploring around the neighborhood. I can help keep things consistent for your dog while you're out of town, maintaining their usual routines like feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I'm a bit of a rule-follower and perfectionist in life, so you can trust me to be careful about safety and any rules you might have for your dog. I’m also respectful of your home and will treat it with care while I’m there. I’m happy to send regular photo updates so you know how your pup is doing.
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.
“Victoria apartment-sat with Snowy for three days and was absolutely on top of everything from walks to treats to cuddle time. Provided a lot of comfort and confidence that my 3yr old corgi would be well taken care of. Look forward to her and Snowy hanging out again.”
“No words can say thank you enough! My pup was well cared for and it showed when Lizzie stopped by to drop off key: Brie went nuts to see her! THAT spoke volumes. Thank you, Lizzie!!!”
About: I have been pet sitting for a few years now, assuring sure your pet is loved and appreciated. I am great at handling necessary clean up situations and making sure your pet is attended to in a timely and proper fashion. I have a lot of time for pet care. Any down time I have I would love to spend with animals. I am looking for a few opportunities per week. Most of my work will take place in the clients home. In both spaces your pet and their safety will be my number one priority.
“Brooke was a great caretaker of our dog Reilly! She stayed at our home with him, was very attentive and kind, and took him out on some great outings. She also did some training with him which we asked for and appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle was absolutely fabulous! She was able to watch my two dogs on very short notice while I was in Oakland to visit family. My dogs loved her! She took great care of them, taking them on multiple walks throughout the day and providing attention when needed. She we be the first person I reach out to when I am in the Oakland area again. Thank you Michelle!”
“Aik was amazing! He handled my dog’s unexpected quirks with ease!!! I can tell she was loved and very well cared for. Plus he took great care of my house too! Would recommend and rebook anytime. Thanks Aik!!!!”
“Anna was great caring for my Benny. He takes time trusting people, but somehow Anna managed to get him to trust her. We received photos daily and he seemed so very happy.”
“Two of our regular Rovers moved, so it was a little stressful to find a replacement rover, but we lucked out with Kathryn. She's great with providing updates and photos. Our dogs were so comfortable they acted like we were never gone AND it was over the Halloween weekend! (A time when they usually get super stressed out with all the door knocks). Kathryn worked her magic at keeping our pups safe and secure and gave me a sense of relief knowing they were well cared for. We will definitely be coming back to her for future trips, because I can trust her with all three of my dogs and my home! She's officially part of our pack now. :)”
“Hamed was awesome, our dogs love him (and so do we!). He gave them lots of attention and playtime with other dogs. We so appreciate the care and love he gave them while we were away and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“Diana was wonderful with our dog, Honey! She was on time, very quick to respond, incredibly responsible, and went above and beyond our expectations. Honey was safe and secure and had a great time!”
“Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs for 90% of my life. I was raised with them, loved them, and learned to care for them like family. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just a chill nap buddy, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I understand their needs, quirks, and routines because I’ve lived it every day growing up. Your pets are in good hands with me. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work part-time as a photographer and filmmaker, which gives me a lot of flexibility. On weekdays, I’m free after 5 PM, and on weekends, I’m available all day unless I have a scheduled event for work, which I’ll always mark down in advance. This open schedule lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need, whether it’s regular walks, drop-ins, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I take pet care seriously and love being able to fit it naturally into my lifestyle. In my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their routines closely when it comes to meals, meds, walks, playtime, and quiet time too. I keep their space clean, give lots of attention, and always respect their personality and needs. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I make the environment stress-free and familiar, with regular updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority, like they’re part of the family.
“Aijalon is amazing. She took such great care of my cat. She's friendly, kind, communicative, and an absolute delight. I was away two weeks and never worried about the wellbeing of my pet. Would absolutely be thrilled to have her back. Highly recommend Aijalon with your pets and home.”

Gisselle is a rock star! We love having her stay with our dogs when we leave town. Gisselle is so good with Finn and Nellie. This last time it was just Finn, and he adores her. Gisselle is wonderful with Finn and Nellie. The daily photos and check-in’s are just right. I feel completely at ease knowing our dogs are in Gisselle’s capable hands. I can’t say enough great things about her, she is simply the best! Gisselle is always our first call when we need to be out of town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s actually it more like 10!
Ben took excellent care of my dogs, Capucino and Alfalfa, with great patience and attention. Capucino can be quite a handful, but Ben handled him wonderfully and made sure both dogs were well cared for. I truly appreciated his reliability and kindness. I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Wiz and Daisy! We had never left our dogs with anyone and she made us feel completely at ease. The updates and photos throughout their stay gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.We could tell our dogs were comfortable with her from the first time they met her. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave our pups and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!
Christine stayed for several nights with our two dogs and two cats and it was a great experience. Our dogs have very different energy levels, as well as personalities, and Christine knew exactly how to manage both our senior dog and younger dog (and the cats!). I felt totally secure having the animals in Christine's care and peace of mind when I traveled. We would absolutely book with Christine again.
Linda was awesome! Super communicative, timely, and kind to my overly nervous dog. She took the time to come out for a meet and greet before the sitting period so my dog could get accustomed to her, which was extremely appreciated. She sent lots of pictures even though I was only away for two nights which I loved!! She also left my house extremely clean and left my dog happy. Will definitely book again in the future if I ever need to go away again!
Regina did a fantastic job of watching our dog Daisy while we were in Asia for 3 weeks. It's a long time to be away and we were relieved that Daisy was so well-cared for. She got lots of love and attention. Regina communicated with us daily with pictures and updates. She took Daisy on walks, played with her and snuggled with her. We came back last night and Daisy was happy to see us, but looking for Regina. Also, Regina left our house neat and tidy, just like we left it. We are grateful to have had her watch our baby on this trip of a lifetime.
Kayla is amazing. She stayed at my home and took great care of my Tito. She was kind, punctual, and very honest. I really appreciated the way she handled everything, thank you Kayla and Sorry that Tito misbehaved a little Most importantly, my dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I’m very grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely book her again.
Leslie was a joy! Oreo immediately bonded to her and, while usually quite anxious when we leave, seemed very happy and excited to be spending time with her. She checked in regularly with pics and videos. We booked Leslie for an in-home sitter, and I would highly recommend her!
Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.
We are so grateful for the amazing care our pets received! Andrea went above and beyond: she sent us daily updates, kept us fully informed on how everyone was doing, and even brought food from her own dog when she noticed we were running low. She kept our home clean and tidy, followed every request we had, and made our animals feel safe, comfortable, and totally at home. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust wholeheartedly with our pets. We can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a truly thoughtful and reliable sitter.
Jess is an absolute gem of a sitter. She stayed with our two dogs for several days while we were out of town, took amazing care of them, and sent us lots of pictures. I *know* she took amazing care of them because in the photos, the dogs were being their normal and lovely selves. Plus, when we got home, they were well-rested and happy, and our little guy watched the street for a long time after Jess left. ("Where did my friend go?" was the caption under his cute face.) I will 100% hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing caretaker for their pets.
