1. David S.


“David did an incredible job with my sweet (and sometimes spicy) girl. He was so flexible and accommodating with my schedule. Truly so thankful for him!”


2. Laxmi P.

“Laxmi took great care of my cat, Cleo! She is considerate, communicative, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter :)”


3. Amy H.

“Amy did a great job caring for my senior pup! He requires a lot of patience on walks, so it’s not always easy. They made sure to update with photos throughout their time together. It was always very easy to get into contact with Amy, who replies very quickly, even to last minute requests to book! :)”


4. Anastasia K.


“Anastasia was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations to take care of Milo and Luna while we were away. During our initial meet-and-greet, she took extra care to write down every detail about our pets and how to care for them. Our cats, who are usually shy with strangers, immediately warmed up to her during the meet-and-greet. For the actual home visit, she fulfilled all tasks that we asked with care, and even sent us many photos of the cats. Her excellent communication, punctuality and kindness definitely did not go unnoticed. We will definitely ask for her help again next time we are away! 100% recommend.”

About: I'm a lifetime dog owner and I feel that I have gained an expert grasp of how dogs think and relate to others in an out of their pack. I've lived in The Mission for more than 25 years and I've had at least one dog for almost the entire time I've lived here. I live within walking distance of more than 5 dog friendly parks and my dogs and I frequent all of them at different times. I've cared for and loved many dogs from the youngest puppies to the oldest seniors. My schedule completely revolves around the needs of the pets under my care. I own multiple dogs myself and I also care for others pets too. Nothing is more important. I've worked from home for years and my schedule is very flexible. The dogs under my care have freedom to roam 2 rooms and also use the dog door in the back of the house which leads down 2 flights of stairs to a fenced in yard. I discourage barking when I hear it because I don't want to disturb the neighbors. We have a filtered water fountain, many toys, dog beds, areas to get away, areas to socialize, and other dogs to socialize with! I take my dogs on multiple walks every day so they will be exercised and socialized.


6. Sandra L.

“Sandra came through in an emergency and took amazing care of my brothers pup on same day notice. She is extremely thoughtful, present and caring. I could not recommend someone more!!”


7. Giovanny G.
“Gio cares for my reactive Shepard mix. He’s is excellent with her, she loves him, and I trust him completely. He he takes good care of my home.”


8. Kim B.

“Kim was the perfect caretaker for Matcha. Our cat has the relentless energy of an Australian Shepherd and could play all day. Unlike many, I could tell Kim genuinely played with her. I giggled at every action shot or cute snuggle photo he sent me. I came home to a happy cat, and I’m so thankful. Will definitely be leaning on him for future visits!”


9. Lauren S.
“Lauren is the best with my senior dog Jolly! She takes him on walks for me while I’m at work and tends to his every need and he is quite the picky old man. Highly recommend her. She is great.”


10. Brianna K.

“Brianna was excellent --- we really appreciate her communication, very accessible and encouraged us to know our guys were being taken care of. She had helpful questions and during the time we got pictures and videos of how they were doing which was super helpful”




11. Erika A.

“Another great experience with Erika! This is our second time working with her and she's a very thoughtful and responsible petsitter! One of our cats has a medication which can be challenging to administer, and she took care to do so every day and even got creative with how to do it (treats, the secret is treats). She sent fun pictures, clear and enthusiastic notes, and was overall a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend for anyone in the area, she's great, and we plan to reach out to her again.”


12. Akiko G.

“Akiko was extremely responsive and went above and beyond. Our cat clearly loved her too! Akiko exhibited outstanding professionalism and genuine care for our pet. Can’t thank her enough.”


13. Andrea C.
“Andi is a TRUE animal lover and would make an excellent pet sitter for your furry family members! She is experienced with athletic energetic dogs, slobbery giant breeds, senior dogs and/or dogs needing medical care. She's not squeamish about dogs requiring medication or injections because of her medical background, which is a huge plus! She is also athletic and loves spending time with dogs outdoors hiking or adventuring - so if you're dog is into that, she's your pet sitter. ;) Andi reads dog body language fairly well. As an example, she can tell when my quirky, socially selective Duck Tolling Retriever doesn't want to be pet and is respectful about not putting hands on him until he's ready. Once trust was built and because she 'listened' to him, he absolutely ADORES when Andi visits.”


14. Lorri F.

“Lorri did a great job looking after our two cats. She took the time to befriend the shy one, and cleaned up after the old one's unexpected and voluminous stomach irregularities without comment or complaint. Plus, she went the extra mile bringing in packages and emptying out the litter robot without being asked. Thanks very much Lorri!”


15. Madeleine B.
“Madeleine is a wonderful animal lover and she loves dogs. I know her from volunteering at the shelter where she walks dogs. She is very good with the big and small dogs. The dogs feel her positive energy and love her. Thank you, Debbie”


16. Kathleen M.
About: Cat mom to Daisy 🌼 I have past experience caring for a cat with diabetes (Daisy’s brother, Lou) and I am knowledgeable in giving insulin doses/checking blood counts. I grew up with cats, dogs and birds so I am very comfortable caretaking for a variety of pets and personalities. I am currently in between jobs due to recent company layoffs, so my schedule is flexible based on your pet’s needs on weekdays and weekends. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with close attention to detail, ensuring you feel safe and comfortable with your babies in my care.


17. Nadya O.
About: Hi my name is Nadya. I have taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was little. I love being surrounded by animals and love them so much. I love petting and playing with cats and dogs as well as walking dogs. Their happiness means everything to me. I will care for them as if they are my own while I take care of them. I walk my dog every day in the afternoon so I would love to walk your dog or drop-in in the afternoons or evenings as well. I prioritize the care and safety of my pets inside and outside the house. while I take care of your pets I will do the same.


18. Janice C.

“I needed a very last minute booking, and I'm glad I found Janice! She responded very quickly to all my requests, and took great care of my cat. Would definitely rebook!”


19. Nicole F.
“Nicole did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was super responsible and made sure my dog got all her medication on time, which was a huge relief. I could tell she genuinely cared and was always checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly. My dog seemed really happy and comfortable around her too, which says a lot. I totally recommend Nicole if you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of your pets.”


20. Jared A.

“Jared did a great job with my last-minute request to walk and feed my dog. He responded to my booking request very quickly, and I appreciated his clear communication about what he needed from me. When I got home afterwards, my dog was calm and content. I'd be happy to book with Jared again!”
