House Sitting in Castro Valley

“We have had the pleasure of having Betsy as our pet and house sitter twice now, and she has truly exceeded our expectations both times. The first occasion was in July 2024, when we went on a nearly three-week trip and needed someone to take care of our two cats, Ringo and Paul. Betsy did an outstanding job, and we didn't hesitate to book her again for the first week of January 2025. Betsy is incredibly trustworthy and reliable. She kept us updated with pictures and messages about our cats, which brought us great peace of mind. Ringo and Paul absolutely adore her and follow her around the house. In fact, she gives them more attention than we probably do! 🐾 Not only does Betsy take excellent care of our pets, but she also leaves our home even cleaner than when she arrived. She handles small tasks with ease and is delightfully agreeable. Communication with Betsy is a breeze; she's friendly and always keeps us informed. We couldn't ask for a better pet and house sitter. If you are looking for someone who is caring, responsible, and communicative, look no further than Betsy. We highly recommend her services!”

“Alex is everything we had hoped for & would be our first call back for the next trip. He not only took good care of our pet crew, they were all very relaxed and calm upon returning home & the pet action photos he sent us kept us connected. Our neighbors saw him out walking our dog several times, and he was fully committed to keeping Daario (dog) safe and well walked/sprinted. He took great care of our home, and picked up after himself like a pro. Great communication, easy to work with, and most of the pets warmed up to him on day 1 based on the photos.”

“Awesome! Anna was on time so I could make it to my early morning meeting! She walked the dogs and had fun adventures. By the time I was home from my in person call, the dogs were pooped and they had expended their energy having fun and enjoying their day with Anna. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”

“Demi was a great house sitter for my dog Meatball! She was respectful of the house, gave us great updates and showed him a lot of love. We would definitely use her again!”

“Francis was a fantastic sitter, providing high-attention care of both our pets and our house while we were away. He took careful notes, tracked medications, proved highly flexible with unexpected changes, and even managed to make quick friends with our elusive cats. Francis is the first sitter to interview us during the meet-and-greet, rather than the other way around. From the moment we met, we knew that Francis was a different kind of sitter. Francis is a caretaker. We strongly recommend Francis for your pet and house sitting needs.”

“Erica took great care of my babies and sent me pictures which I really appreciated. I could see that they were happy in her care. I returned to my house just as I left it.”

“Sarah is so reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent us just the right amount of photos and check-ins while we were away. I will completely trust her with my dog any time. She is great!”

“Jene was amazing! She is very responsive and kept me updated throughout her stay with my pup. When I returned, my dog was relaxed and happy. Jene clearly took very good care of her :)”

“Natasha has been great with our two huskies: accommodating to our unusual food prep routine, regular walks, and regular updates.”

“Mariah was attentive, caring, and loving with my dogs. She was flexible whereas she would come to our house and spend time. Not just walk perform the bare minimum. She gave us daily updates that included pictures and comments from interactions with my dogs. One of my dogs has a limp, and needs a bit more patience. I highly recommend her if you need a caring sitter for your furry children!”

“Jason did a great job with my pets while I was on vacation. He left me updates and I didn’t have to worry the whole time that I was away”

“I’ve known Marin for almost ten years and one of the very first things I’ve noticed about her was her love for all animals, big or small. She rescued a Frenchie “Dio” a few years ago that was hellbent on wreaking havoc across all of the Bay Area. She still has Dio and he is the sweetest boy now thanks to Marin’s patience, care, training, and natural ability to assess animals’ needs. She takes care of him like a son and not in a sense that she takes care of basic needs, I’m talking spending thousands of dollars to get Dio the best emergency medical care possible. I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing Marin interact with and watch multiple animals at a time and she makes sure they are getting along, that they’re all exercised, and properly fed. I would trust Marin with my life, so I would absolutely trust her with my pets.”

“It’s not easy to find a dog sitter who are experienced with petite senior dogs. Especially with dementia. Liz understands Meow Meow so well and took great care of her. This is the first time that I don’t need to worry about Meow Meow when I travel ever since she has dementia. Thank you Liz. I am so glad we found you.”

“You can tell Ariena loves your dog. He is always well taken care of and she goes above and beyond to make sure he has a special time while you’re away. I would highly recommend her to stay with your animals!”

“I am excited to recommend my friend Ari as a pet sitter, particularly for his outstanding care and attention, which was displayed in his interactions with Ivy, a mutual friend’s poodle. Ari’s home is a sanctuary for pets, combining safety with an environment full of love and fun. His dedication to providing the best possible care was evident in how he looked after Ivy. Ari’s place was not just safe for her; it was a space where she could flourish and enjoy her stay to the fullest. One of the highlights of Ivy's time with Ari were their frequent trips to the local lake. Knowing Ivy's fondness for walks, Ari made these outings a regular part of her routine. He always ensured she was safely equipped for her adventures. Watching Ivy play under Ari’s careful watch was a joy. Ari's approach to providing safe and loving care for pets is unparalleled. He has looked after friends’ pets numerous times, and each time, he created a nurturing and secure environment for them. His home is impeccably maintained, ensuring a safe space where pets can roam and play without any hazards. Moreover, Ari's attentive nature means that he is always on the lookout for the well-being of the animals in his care. Ari's ability to connect with pets is something truly special. Choosing Ari to look after your pet means entrusting them to someone who treats them with as much love and care as if they were his own. His dedication to their well-being, combined with his genuine affection for animals, makes him an excellent choice for any pet owner.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was little, so I know a lot about taking care of them. Because of that, I’ve done some dog sitting and dog walking for close family members. I’m a high school senior with a busy schedule, taking college courses twice a week. Despite those commitments, I am available when I get home from school around early noon until the evening. I’m passionate about caring for dogs so I’m willing to take on dog walking on the weekends as well. As a dog walker, I will follow any specific instructions given to me by the pet owner. If there are any preferred walking routes or needs, I will accommodate. Being attentive to the dog’s behavior and needs is always a priority and working on building trust with a dog is something important while also respecting the home environment.

“To whom is may concern, I've known Kia for several years and we've become very close. She is someone I trusted with my two fur babies while I was on vacation for a month. She made them feel so safe and comfortable while I was away for an extended time for the first time. She gave them so much TLC my kitties still cling to her when she comes over to visit! She even went and got them some toys that they LOVE 'til this day! She is so nurturing and caring, my babies love her!”

“Brian was great and very responsible with my two dogs, Moo and Nami. I have a hard time trying to find a good and reliable person to take care of my two fur babies and Brian meets all the criteria. I wrote and gave him specific rules to follow since my dogs have medical needs and he followed them to the tea. My dogs love him! If you're looking for a fun, friendly, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter - Brian is your man.”
