1. Emma H.
“Emma is very calm and connects well with all my three cats. I have one high-energy kitten (needing lots of playtime), one shy/nervous cat (needing patience and calm care), and one more senior long-haired cat (sometimes needing extra help with grooming) She is trustworthy and very reliable. My cats like her a lot, and she spends quality time with them. She goes above and beyond. When my cat was sick, she helped provide necessary oral medicine. You would be lucky to have her as your cat sitter.”

3. Anais D.

“Anais was terrific. Efficient, friendly and so great with Zeke. She understands dogs and different temperaments and was wonderful interacting with Zeke. 10/10 would recommend!”


4. Korin M.

“Korin was on time and communicative! She was great with Tater and I really appreciated how patient she was when Tater was WAY over excited when she came over for a meet and greet. Would love to book her again in the future!”


5. Angela Z.

“Angela was great! We needed a sitter last minute, and Angela was there to save us. She showed up for the drop-in visits as scheduled and took care of our kittens. Another go to sitter for us!”


6. Megan K.

“Megan is awesome. We have two fairly reactive dogs who require a special touch. Megan was amazing and gave wonderful updates. We will book with her again!”


7. Chika A.
“I've know Chika for several years, during which time she's house sat for me on three separate occasions when I had to unexpectedly go out of town for family business. This included caring for my border collie, who was just a puppy the first time she watched him. Chika kept my house clean and tidy; all the dishes were done, the surfaces were clean, the carpet was vacuumed, etc. (she actually kept it cleaner than I usually do lol). My pup is usually shy around new people and takes some time to warm up to folks. He also has a TON of energy and needs multiple walks and play times a day to keep him from chewing on things and otherwise causing chaos in the house. Chika has been very good about making sure that he gets all the exercise he needs whenever she's watched him and any time he sees her, he gets so excited! I highly recommend Chika as a house sitter and pet sitter to anyone who needs one, whether it's for a single night or an extended period of time. She'll take good care of your home and make sure your pet gets everything they need to be happy until you come home!”


8. Andrew M.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 and currently a turtle for the past 5 years. I have experience with from giving medicine to giving the best good boy/girl heard rubs around. I have a full time job, but have a flexible schedule. I can do mostly 30min visits or longer on weekends. But am willing to coordinate on as needed basis. I can do mainly drop in visits as I have 2 cats and a turtle currently at my place. So home stay will not work.


9. Ying Z.
“Vera is a friendly person she loves taking care pets. Every time I get out of country, she takes care of my two smalls dogs.”


10. Zara K.

“This is our second time working with Zara! She again took such good care of our two cats while we were away on a long weekend. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker for their furr babies.”


11. Marlene P.

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”


12. Laura O.
“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”


13. Karla M.
“Karla is a very kindhearted and responsible person that will always deliver a job well done. Her caring and hardworking personality is what makes me confident in recommending her to anyone that is looking for a great connection and caregiver.”


14. Jasmin A.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmin, I am 22 years old and live in Oakland, Ca. I have experience with dogs as I own one myself and most of my family own dogs themselves. I have experience with puppies, adults, small, and medium sized dogs. I’ve always had patience and sympathy for animals as they are also living creatures with emotions. From pugs to pitbulls I care for dogs as if they were all mine! I am currently looking for a side job and found this site which I think would be a perfect side hustle as I love dogs and have enough free time ! I also have my own car so mobility won’t be an issue. I live in a house with a backyard that has plenty of room and toys!! It is wooden fenced up so there’s no running away from this home ! All dogs are received with love as I understand how cruel the outside world can be to our fur babies.


15. Kristi P.

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”


16. Nia G.

“We had Nia drop by twice a day to help take out our 17 yr old dachshund for potty breaks. She was always on time, very professional, and extremely communicative. She also sent lots of photos to let us know how things were going. We will be looking to have Nia do drop-in visits in the future and overnight stays.”


17. Lindsey C.


“Lindsey is amazing. She’s consistent, she’s communicative, she’s flexible, and our puppy loves her! I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.”


18. Tiana P.

“Tiana was wonderful, fulfilling a last minute request. She was communicative and flexible, and gave my at-first shy pup space to warm up. Very appreciative of her help!”


19. guadalupe d.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life! I’ve always had a pet and they’ve ranged from chickens to spiders. I started pet sitting when I was 16 and am currently working at a dog daycare/boarding place and am a dog handler that will love and care for your pups no matter age or size! :))<3 Apart from being a student (on break) I’m also working part-time at a dog daycare on the weekends so during the week I’m usually free! When pups are in my care it’s my priority to help them feel safe and comfortable at home no matter how tedious or time consuming it will be!<33
