“Caroline had amazing communication!! I had a whole google doc of instructions 😂 and she was so good at consistently keeping our babies on their schedule and routines, even with all their quirks! I loved all the regular updates; we had some scheduling issues in the middle but she was incredibly transparent and very detailed in communicating so o was able to make l alternative arrangements! Our shy cats + xl dog took to her immediately 😊”
“Alia is amazing! My dog is elderly and has a complex set of medication needs. Alia took beautiful care of her, sent great photos, kept in touch about everything. I feel really lucky to have found her. I didn’t worry at all!! Thanks so much Alia!!!”


“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!!!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Lindsay. She took excellent care of our two dogs staying at our place and giving them plenty of attention, love, and exercise while we were away. We came home to two very happy, relaxed dogs. Communication was great, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such reliable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”


About: I've cared for my own cat for seven years and spent the past few years as a working student at a horse stable, where I train, ride, and handle the full daily care of horses. Outside of the stable, I have experience walking and caring for dogs, and animals have always been central to my life. I bring that same attentiveness, calm, and genuine love to every dog I walk. I work full-time in San Carlos with hours ending at 5pm, so I'm available for dog walks every weekday evening after 5. I'm also at a horse stable on weekends as a working student, but I can coordinate weekend availability depending on the week. I genuinely look forward to making dog walking a consistent and reliable part of my routine. I provide walks in the client's neighborhood, keeping dogs on leash at all times and staying fully attentive throughout. My years working with horses have trained me to stay calm, read animal behavior, and respond quickly and safely to unexpected situations. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my first priority.

“Caroline is absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, showing up right on time. She was very patient with our dog, who is shy and slow to warmup to new people, and did all she could to make her feel comfortable. She kept us informed the entire time and sent photos and cute videos. We highly recommend her!”


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.
“Maria provided exceptional service for my dog, Thor, and cat, Alfie! I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pets. Maria sent me daily summaries, pictures and videos so my mind could be at ease while away. I highly recommend Maria.”


About: I've grown up always volunteering to care for dogs while my friends were on vacation. I used to have an English bulldog named Elvis who I loved SOOOO much. I just graduated college and moved home, and my building doesn't allow dogs, so I figured this would be a great way to interact with some :) I love ALL dogs no matter the shape or size, and would love to walk your dog/give him or her all the cuddles. I will be out of town May 26 - June 10, and then after that my 9-5 won't start until July 27th so I'm literally free whenever and just want to make some extra $$ and see dogs. I do still plan to dog sit and walk when I start though! I will make sure I understand really thoroughly what your dog needs like how often to walk, feed, etc so I can keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible while you're away. I will take thorough notes on whatever else they may need! :)) And I will make sure to ask about what they like so I can spoil them while you're away(within your limits) by feeding them special treats and giving them some extra scratches if they have a personality where they like/need that <3
About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.
“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”

“Jaron is WONDERFUL! Our schnauzer as a general rule does not like other people including our adult children, but Stewie warmed up to Jaron and even cuddled with him. Jaron was contentious and used great communication to let us know what was going on. Definitely will ask Jaron to house sit again.”
“We cannot thank Katrina enough for taking such good care of our two dogs. We hired Katrina for pet/house sitting. As any pet parent knows, it is stressful to leave your fur babies behind while on vacation but Katrina eased that stress by sending daily updates, complete with photos to let us know how our dogs were doing. She took them on long walks and sent photos while on the walks. (The dogs looked very happy.) She also took good care of the house. We will definitely reach out to her again and highly recommend her.”

“Elena took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing! She took care of our dog and cat and they were really happy. She sent us a lot of photos and communicated often we are going to book again with her!”

She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Alia did a wonderful job caring for my dog, Daisy, as well as our outdoor cats. She provided consistent updates, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated her professionalism and clear focus on Daisy’s care and well-being. It was obvious she took her responsibilities seriously and treated our pets with genuine attention and kindness. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!
