“Liam had been SO GREAT with my strong, crazy dog! he's super reliable, very communicative with us, and very capable and calm with Luna. He's also done a great job staying in our home. Very grateful!!!”

“Victoria was an incredible house sitter! She kept me updated on my dog’s well-being through constant communication and sent multiple photos and videos. I highly recommend her services and would definitely book her again.”

“Karime was amazing! She accommodated a very last minute request and took great care of my girls while they were dealing with some serious allergies. She communicated consistently and promptly and also took note of when things seemed concerning. Great and caring sitter!”

“If I could give Kimberlee more than five stars, I would! From the moment we met her, it was clear she was incredibly conscientious, detail-oriented, and genuinely cared about giving Scooby the very best care. Our dog, Scooby, is anxious around other dogs and does much better staying in her own home with a trusted person. Kimberlee was absolutely perfect for her. She was accommodating, thoughtful, and went above and beyond in every way. She kept us updated with wonderful photos, and honestly, you could see in every single one how much Scooby adored her. As pet parents, that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Knowing she was not only safe but truly happy allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our time away. It takes a special person to earn the trust of an anxious dog, and Kimberlee did just that with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. We are beyond grateful that she was Scooby’s person while we were away. I cannot recommend Kimberlee highly enough, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you, Kimberlee, for taking such incredible care of our girl!”

“Arabelle was a great pet sitter for my Emma. This was the first time I had someone come into my home to care for my cockapoo. She was trustworthy and got along very well with my Em. She kept her on a regular schedule during the day. Arabelle provided multiple walks and playtime. Emma hasn’t played much in sometime so I was very pleased that she was able to peak Em’s interest again. Arabelle kept my home tidy and clean as well. What a kind and well educated doggie professional !”

About: Experienced caring for friends' pets, making sure they feel safe, well-fed, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. All furbabies are loved infinitely here. I currently work from home, so I have a pretty flexible routine, 5 days a week. I am available weekly and also weekends mostly anytime I follow each pet's routine, provide food and fresh water, ensure exercise and playtime, give plenty of attention, and keep owners updated regularly with texts and pictures!

“We LOVE having Ellyana & Alexander watch Finn - they are wonderful caretakers of both Finn and our house. It’s such peace of mind to travel now! Our dog is a shy dog and he clearly loves Ellyana & Alexander - thank you!”


“Wow this is a game changer!!! My dog is 16 and lately it has been difficult leaving him overnight. I was a little hesitant to have a stranger stay overnight with Scruff. But when I met Kayla, all of concerns were squashed. Her and Scruffy immediately hit it off. Kayla is young and energetic, which definitely is a plus. Scruffy needs to get out moving around more 😏. When I reached out during my trip she responded quickly, without overwhelming me. Especially with Scruffy being older he has some quirks. He also can have accidents in the house or gets sick. Kayla reached out to understand if this was concerning. (It wasn't’). I have had friends who have called panicking. This caused me to either leave early or be stressed for the entirety of my trip. Kalya’s laid back and chill personality made me feel even more relaxed and comfortable that I had decided to go with her. When we got home the place looked great and Scruff wasn’t as anxious as he usually is when I get home, which was a relief 😅. Scuffy was happy to see me of course but I can tell he misses Kayla already. Without hesitation I recommend Kayla, to anyone with a pet.”

“Matt was available within a few days notice. Ruby was very happy to stay home with him. He played, walked and hiked with her every day and sent us a daily update with pictures. We knew that she was happy and well taken care of! He also took great care of the house and everything was clean and tidy when we returned. We highly recommend Matt and will definitely have him stay next time we go away!”


About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and have always been comfortable around them. I had a Labrador before, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and spending time with dogs. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Animal Science in 2025 and also have some experience interning at a vet clinic, which helped me better understand animal health and behavior. Since summer 2024, I’ve been helping friends with dog sitting, walking, and boarding. I’ve done three long-term stays (over a month each), so I’m comfortable caring for dogs for extended periods and helping them settle in. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away! I’m currently a student, but I have good availability in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 5pm, so I’m able to do walks and spend quality time with your dog during those hours. I’m also flexible on weekends and can adjust based on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I live in an apartment right now, but I make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable space. I take dogs out for regular walks and make sure they get enough exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

“Sai did a great job taking care of my two cats. She was super responsive and the cats were clearly well taken care of. She even vacuumed up the litter that the cats kicked around and washed the towels/sheets.”

“I was so, so very happy with my decision to hire Heather to watch my dogs! She was responsive, to-the-minute on time, kept me updated, and just in general really gave me a strong sense of confidence in her reliability and responsibility. She was even nice about my dog who hates going out in the rain and thus occasionally has accidents in the house (and he did, during her visit, because it was raining). I will absolutely be asking to hire her again; I am just very, very happy with the quality of care she brought to my pups! Very happy to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age, I started dog sitting at the age of 12 for family friends. Recently I got a dog myself that is a Havanese puddle, her name is Lily and I adore her and miss her so much since she is back home. I have always had dogs as a part of my life and want to continue this by helping people with their own dogs here. Pet care fits into my schedule either weekly or daily depending on what is being asked. On Mondays, I can help after 2 pm. As for Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am pretty busy. But on Wednesdays and Fridays I have a really flexible schedule. At home, I care for my dog by walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with her as much as possible. I think it is very important to make sure that dogs have long walks and have amplitudes of playing time, which I think I am able to do with my own dog.
“Jen is awesome, and our cat, Bat, really warmed up to her. He can be a bit reserved, but Jen was able to get him out of his shell. She sent us videos everyday, and we could tell that she took incredible care of Bat. Definitely would recommend and rebook. Thanks, Jen!”


“Merina was an amazing pet sitter. She left my home and my pets very happy! She was very professional and personable, kept in contact with me with how the animals were doing while we were gone, and I can’t wait to book her again!”

“We want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Heather for taking great of our pet yorkie Winnie while we were away. Winnie is 4.5 years old and we have never left him before, so finding the right person was very important to us. We wanted an experienced person who was willing to stay in our home for two weeks to care for Winnie. In Heather we found someone who is experienced, caring, consistently communicates and sends pictures. Heather kept us informed and responded to all our messages very quickly. That was greatly appreciated. It’s clear that Winnie loved having Heather take care of him. We came home to a happy pup and were impressed how clean our house was. We appreciate Heather’s attention, patience and support, as well as her willingness to stay in our home for two weeks. Everything was in perfect shape when we returned. It gave us peace of mind knowing Winnie was in experienced, capable and caring hands. Heather also went beyond just caring for Winnie by doing a variety of things around our house, including bringing in our mail daily. Heather did a great job.”

Willow took care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town. Everyone was happy and health when we got back, and she seems to have managed our very enthusiastic shepherd well! Plus, she was very respectful of our home and everything was tidy when we came back.

Geordie is a stubborn lovable Corgi who has never been left with a sitter before. Gabriela did wonderfully with him. Primarily, she has an air of responsibility about her and I felt safe to leave. I had been worried about it for weeks. No worries. Geordie was well cared for and I’m very grateful.

Very communicative & proactive. Our pup doesn’t always take to new people quickly, but she seemed to be comfortable with Karime right away—Karime had great animal lover energy and took great care of our dog & managed sometimes complex care instructions well (anxious pup, allergies, etc.)

Katherine was above and beyond my wildest expectations! I had never left my kittens with a stranger before and was super nervous. She did a meet and greet, sent me regualr updates (and the cutest pics), and made sure my girls were the number one priority. My kittens definitely fell in love with her and her daughter over the course of the week. I can't imagine a better sitter!

Jassmyne took care of our cat (Tati) for a fairly long stretch (2 weeks), and she was fantastic. She was very communicative throughout, sending lots of pictures and updates, and she handled it calmly when Tati came down with a small cold. She also took great care of our house while we were away. Tati clearly liked her. I strongly recommend Jassmyne!

Conor spent 24 hours at our home with our elderly dog overnight. We arrived home to a happy, calm pooch and our home was just as we left it. Conor was timely, respectful, communicated well and sent photos. He even left a note for when we got home. We appreciated meeting him prior to booking and will definitely use him again in the near future. Thanks Conor!

Brithny was an absolute gem taking care of my dog, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From our very first meet and greet, she put me completely at ease, she even brought her own dog sana along to help the dogs get comfortable together, which showed just how thoughtful and prepared she is. You can tell right away that she has real experience with dogs and genuinely understands them. Throughout her time with my dog, Brithny went above and beyond. She took him on fun little adventures and made sure he was active, engaged, and well cared for the whole time. She was gentle with him, responsible about his routine, and clearly poured a lot of care into how she looked after him. On top of that, she sent frequent updates and photos, which meant so much to me while I was away, since I always knew exactly how he was doing. I felt so relieved knowing my dog was in such capable, caring hands. Brithny is exactly the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. I recommend her without reservation.

Reine did an AMAZING job sitting for our dog and cat! Our pup is prone to separation anxiety and can often be nervous around new people, but she is clearly very experienced with this and helped make him at ease right away. She even gave us behavioral suggestions for how to help him with these things in the future. She gave us frequent updates and really went beyond what I expected to make sure the animals were well taken care of. I highly recommend her!
