1. Kate V.

“I had a good feeling about Kate when we connected over Rover and did a meet and greet before I left for our trip oversees. My gut feeling was proved correct as she did an amazing job taking care of our kitties while we were away. She made sure to ask questions and fully understand the assignment before committing to the booking. I really appreciated having daily pictures and updates sent to us every day for peace of mind. She even brought over some toys to try and coax them to play a bit! We also really appreciated her going above and beyond on some extra tasks like resetting our router and grabbing mail/packages that were delivered while we were out. Kate is super responsive, great with cats of all temperaments, and overall a lovely human being. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to request her services again in the future.”


2. Kellie T.

“Our cat is very quirky and particular. But Kellie took great notes and followed through with all of his weird needs. She provided fantastic care.”


3. Elise G.

“I'm a repeat customer - Elise was great! I had an error in my booking (wrong date) and Elise was attentive & communicative to fix the error promptly! Thanks again Elise!”


4. Michael V.

“Excellent sitter, clearly cared for the boys beyond the requirements. He got an inconsistent eater to eat, cleaned up after one that micturated on a rug, and even played music for them. The one that's generally friendly loved him, and the one that's generally unfriendly tolerated him right off the bat which is impressive.”


5. CJ T.


“I needed a last minute solution as I was traveling to the bay area from NYC for work and had to bring my mini aussie with me. I am so grateful I found CJ ! Very professional and accommodating. But the best review comes from my dog herself. When he showed up to watch her on day 2, she was SO excited to see him she barely noticed when I left. Will one hundred percent hire him anytime we are back in the Bay Area!”


6. Meiling C.
About: What sets mI have experience in training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors. I'm also skilled in providing compassionate senior pet care, which includes administering medications and addressing specific needs. My commitment to tailoring my services to each pet's unique requirements, along with my genuine love for animals, makes me a standout choice for pet owners seeking a caring and knowledgeable sitter. I have time to walk the dogs every week from 9am-12:30pm except for Mondays. I'll be in the Bay Area this Thanksgiving and Christmas that isn't coming, and boarding is open now! my care for pets would depend on the service I offer. In my home, I would ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, provide regular feeding and exercise, and offer companionship. In a client's home, I'd follow the instructions they send, maintain routines, and give the pets the attention and care they need, which may include feeding, walking, and playtime. It's crucial to tailor the care to each pet's specific needs and preferences.


7. Robyn C.

“Robyn is clearly a dog lover. My rescue pit bull mix loves her and took to her immediately. Robyn was able to fit me in for 2x per day drop ins despite my short notice. Robyn is professional and caring and provides great updates. She is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for caring for your furry friends. I am currently working with Robyn to book daily visits going forward.”


8. Jasmine J.

“Jasmine is took great care of our dog. We are very happy with her!”


9. Kevin W.

“This was Kevin’s first time caring for a bird, and in the meet and greet Cooper was acting up, but Kevin wasn’t afraid and did a great job. Cooper seems to love him now :). Would definitely hire again.”


10. Kimberly K.

“Kimberly is Emmy's favorite! She is super responsible and communicative, goes above and beyond, treats my home as her own, and sends me adorable pictures of Emmy. I've even known her to give Emmy gifts (with my permission, of course)!! I couldn't be happier!”


11. Melissa C.

“Melissa was great. Helped out on short notice after another Catsitter backed out the day before my trip. Very friendly and communicative.”




12. Aimee H.

“Aimee was fabulous! She was super communicative and sent along great pictures. Phoebe had a great time and would love to have her back again.”


13. Maya G.

“Consistent and excellent care from Maya!! She is very reliable and we have valued having her as a trusted walker and companion for our puppy.”


14. Minghao & Yuchen L.


“Minghao was absolutely wonderful with our cat Ichi! He sent fantastic update photos and videos while we were out of town, and even helped out when we needed additional last minute help. Would highly recommend and will absolutely use again!”


15. Stephanie M.

“Stephanie is really in tune with dogs, and has quickly formed a great connection with our high-energy young border collie mix. She is able to handle his mischievous moods and keep him occupied!”


16. David A.
“David is an outstanding dog sitter and walker! His professionalism, knowledge of dogs, and genuine passion for animals truly set him apart. He is not only friendly but also deeply attentive to each dog's needs. Our dog absolutely adores him and always returns home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised—often with what we call "smiles" on his face! As an active runner, David keeps up with dogs of all energy levels, ensuring they get the physical and mental stimulation they need. I have complete trust in his meticulous care, training skills, and dedication to providing the best experience for our furry family members. Highly recommended!”


17. Jeannette R.
“Jeannette is very reliable she walks my dog Sushi and keeps me updated! I recommend her walking services! Sushi gets really excited when she sees Jeannette come at the door makes me feel so comfortable knowing she’s enjoying her walks! Will keep booking with Jeannette!”

“Courtney took calked our our little 20 lbs doggie while I was away and and also did some play time with him! Communication was great and I was so relieved to see how happy he was with her. It was our first time with Courtneys help but we will definitely book with her again!”


19. Kathrine M.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes! From my 95lb golden retriever and my grandpas 120lb giant schnauzer to my aunts 10lb chihuahua and my cat! Love any and all pets and will devote my full attention to them! I’m an active college student (currently at home for summer break!), so I can always squeeze in some pet time throughout the day! Also have lots of free time on the weekends and evenings. I will always be respectful for your spaces and belongings! Will only interact with the pet and nothing more. It’ll be like I was never there!


20. Arianna L.
