“We were very pleased with Nora. She took excellent care of our two pups and sent lots of photos to keep us up to date on how they were doing. She stayed in our home and left it spotless. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.
“Alyssa is great. I can always trust her to take care of my senior chihuahua. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with your special doggos, I highly recommend her”
“We asked Carla to dogsit our golden doodle this weekend. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. Carla came.to our house to meet Teddy and become familiar with her personality. Carla communicated with us through out the weekend, updating us with pictures and short texts. It is common for Teddy not to eat while we are gone, but because Carla made her feel calm, she ate the first evening Carla came. Carla left our home clean and in order. We highly recommend her to you and will be calling her in the future.”
“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”

My townhouse is very peaceful and I’ll create a cozy bed for your pet to sleep in. I also have a lot of grass and a park with a nice trail nearby where I can have a lot of playtime with your pet! I ONLY take dogs that are crate trained so please bring your crate with you. I would also LOVE to have a meet and greet beforehand to see if it’s the right fit! You are more than welcome to bring anything that makes your pet feel more comfortable such as a toy or some favorite treats I could give him or her! I will follow any instructions or preferences that your pet has, in order to make sure it’s a comfortable and welcoming environment!
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had Great Danes for over ten years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve taken care of pets ranging from energetic kittens and puppies to sweet seniors, and my goal is to work with you and your pet's unique temperament to best meet each pet's individual needs. I'm a law student who primarily attends classes in the mornings from Monday to Thursday. Outside of class, my schedule is flexible. I update my calendar regularly, which will best reflect my exact availability. I will take the utmost care to make sure your pet is comfortable and safe in your home and in my presence. I’m comfortable with crating, feeding, and giving your pet medication if needed. I also understand that some pets take their time to warm up to new people, and in those cases I’ll make sure to take the time to gain your pet’s trust. I have experience walking dogs big and small and I’m happy to work with your dog on leash training as well.
“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”

“Emma did a fantastic job caring for my two pups for two weeks. She administered meds for one dog twice a day and keep them both healthy and happy. So thankful to have had her caring for the house while we were away!”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life, and taken great solace in their company. I've been around a lot of working dogs and a lot of apartment cats, and found things to love about all of them. I've even done some pet photography, which is always a fun challenge. I'm between jobs and have an open schedule. I'm happy to move things around for your convenience. I'm always up by 9 and usually home by midnight. I try to give pets who spend their day alone a little bit of extra attention and care. I think it's enriching for both of us!
“Ashley was wonderful! I highly recommend her. She did such a great job with my little dog. She was timely, trustworthy, a great communicator, and best of all my dog loves her! Thank you, Ashley!”
“She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!”
“Sarah was a wonderful cat sitter for my 10 month old kitten Boots. She looked after him for 2 days and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She understood the nature of kittens and introduced herself in a way that Boots, who is usually shy, warmed up very quickly to her. She updated me with pictures, videos, and messages of Boots and the games she created for him. Thank you again for the care you gave to my kitten.”

Alex S.
“Alex grew up with animals in the home and is comfortable with both cats and dogs. She was responsible for walking our two great danes, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and also feeding, nurturing and cleaning up after our cats. She has a keen sense of animal's needs and moods. One of our cats was very moody and she always found herself in Alex's lap as she sensed her calm, caring demeanor. Alex took our second puppy to puppy class where she learned the importance of positive discipline, socialization and handling skills. She is familiar with taking our dogs, and friend's dogs, to dog parks and the beach. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alex as a great dog or cat sitter/walker. She is responsible, caring, and strong! Any animal would benefit from her care!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Mia H. to care for my three dogs, and I can honestly say she is one of the most loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitters I’ve ever met. Mia has a natural way with animals — she’s gentle, patient, and always attentive to their needs. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her caring hands. Mia goes above and beyond to ensure that my pets are happy, safe, and well-loved, and her excellent communication and reliability make her an outstanding choice for pet sitting or dog walking. She genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. I can’t recommend her enough — any pet parent would be lucky to have her caring for their furry friends!”

Negin was super sweet and engaging, and has excellent chemistry with animals. She stayed at our home and took care of our cat, and my cat seemed very pleased. I got pictures and videos of Negin and my cat daily. I would use Negin again, and I thank her for the care she provided for Monkey.

Tiali was a fantastic house-sitter! She quickly earned the affection of our dog, who usually mistrusts sitters for the first few days. We enjoyed all her photos and updates, and the house was in great shape when we got home. Will definitely be looking to have her back with us!
Nikki was incredible with our two dogs, one of whom is very slow to trust- Nikki went out of her way to make sure that dog felt safe with her before we even left. Our house was also so well taken care of, and she sent lots of updates! Thank you so much, Nikki, for taking such good care of our fur babies. Will absolutely be rebooking in the near future!!
She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!
Emme stayed at ny house for 4 nights while I was out of town. She took time to learn about my dog and his habits during the meet and greet. She asked questions and took notes. During her stay, she arrived on time, checked in often and gave me updates regularly. She is very attentive and asked questions that came up that we had not discussed. I felt my dog was cared for. I would recommend her and consider using her services again..
We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our puppy at our hotel—and Kendall was amazing! She was punctual, kind, and clearly experienced with young dogs. Our pup was calm and happy when we returned, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend if you live the area or visiting like us and need a trustworthy sitter!
