“Xiuqi was excellent. Oreo is shy and doesn’t warm up to strangers. Recently we had a trip planned and our regular sitter was unavailable. This was cause for concern as Oreo has never had another sitter. We met with Xiuqi and thought she would be a good fit. Well over 6 days Oreo fell in love. We probably have a new sitter. We received updates and pictures and videos. Very reassuring.”
“Lee (aka Qiuwen) has been wonderful and took very good care of my fur babies! She provided detailed report of each visit and sent lots of pictures and videos! She's a very detail oriented and reliable and I felt at ease leaving for a trip knowing that my girls are well taken care of. Definitely will be using Lee's services in the future!”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with my cat Jesse. She gave us regular updates and went above and beyond to accommodate our shy girl. Highly recommend Sandra to any pet parents!!”
“Anne was great (again)! It’s so nice to know we have someone reliable (that Lanikai likes) to watch her on our weekend trips. We hope she’ll be available next weekend 😻.”
“My cats, Grogu and Mando, really took a liking to Camille. A week before our appointment, I met Camille at our place to introduce my cats. They really loved her!! She checked in at the agreed upon time, she was able to feed and play with our cats, checked up on our feed and dry kibble, and provided thorough updates! Would love to work with her again!”
“My second time using Yongxin. Again she was excellent in watching over our elderly cat. She has good instincts and does not need to be told every single detail. She always checks with me and informs me of any peculiarities she observes. I would not hesitate to call on her again!”
“Maya did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties! She provided notes and cute pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Chalise was PHENOMENAL. She took a lot of notes when we met, and she continued to be just as attentive during the visits. Her report cards were helpful and put me at ease because she clearly played with them a lot, and I came home to a house that looked cleaner than I left it. Also, I won't go into too much detail but I messed up and that threw a big wrench in her visits, but she was incredibly flexible and cooperative and so generous. Will definitely use again.”
About: I grew up always having animals around and miss that very much in my day to day life. I am not an expert, but have 2 vet friends who I call for everything animal related, when needed. I currently work from home most days and have some extra time in my day to come take your furr baby outside for some sunshine and exercise. My cats are my world. I am quite literally a cat (animal) lady. I would love to foster in the future, but for now I just have two crazy babies. I grew up with dogs and even though I don’t currently have one, I love all dogs, but have a special place in my heart for big dogs.
“Bailey was very good with our cats, she went above and beyond with plant care too. I’ll definitely approach her again when I have to leave home for extended periods of time. She’s punctual and dedicated, my cats love her too”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a young girl. I love being with them and giving them all the love and attention they deserve. My friends, family, and neighbors all have me as their go-to fornany pet sitting needs and I hope to be the same for you! I am a teacher and so I am available during the evenings Monday through Friday. On the weekends, I am available all day for you! In your home, I will make sure to follow your specific instructions and rules to take the best possible care of your pet. I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and play time.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've grown up with a dog that I've had since he was a puppy, and my family has had four cats throughout my lifetime- all of which I've loved dearly. I've had many years of pet-sitting experience with both cats and dogs, providing services for family members and neighbors. I'm well versed in understanding animal body language and cues, following special instructions, and I strive to provide a pawsitive experience for you and your pets! I'm currently on summer break as a college student, so my availability is fairly flexible and open at the moment. My availability may change once my next semester starts in mid-August (2025). Your pets' safety is just as important to me as their happiness while they are in my care! I will always keep in mind any special instructions or accommodations and ensure your pet is safe and happy. I will feed/switch out food as needed, check that the water is fresh and filled, scoop the litter box (for cats), and follow any additional care instructions. I'll be sure to notify and keep you (the owner) in the loop should any concerns arise, and ask questions if needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal care and attention I give to each pet, as if they were my own. Having a furry friend at home, I understand the responsibility and emotional bond that comes with being a pet aunty. I bring that same level of care to every pet I work with. I’m reliable, communicative, and very detail-oriented—I make it a point to follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to medications and special care instructions. My flexible weekend availability, with plans to expand during the week, means I can be there when pet parents need trusted, consistent care the most. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their families peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, especially because I have a furry friend at home. I understand firsthand the love, attention, and consistency that pets need to thrive. Although I currently work full-time, I’m available on weekends and will have more availability during the week in the near future. Right now, I work Sundays from 7am to 1:30pm, but I’m free the rest of the day, as well as all day Friday and Saturday. With this schedule, I’m able to dedicate quality time to caring for pets, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Pet care is something I enjoy and prioritize. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors the care and routine they’re used to. In My Home: I stick to their feeding and potty schedule as closely as possible. Pets get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervised outdoor breaks (if needed). I monitor behavior and health closely, giving updates and photos to the pet parent for peace of mind. In a Client’s Home: I respect their space and follow all instructions provided, including feeding, walking, medications, or any special care needs. I keep pets on their usual routine to help reduce stress while their family is away. I make sure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes (for cats), and plenty of attention and comfort. I also handle small extras like bringing in mail, watering plants, or adjusting lights and blinds, if requested.
“We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care our cat, Milo, has received from Yanhong. She has been attentive, compassionate, and professional throughout her time looking after him. Not only does she ensure Milo’s physical needs are met—feeding, refreshing his water, grooming, and playing with him—but she also pays close attention to his mental well-being, keeping him comfortable and happy. What we especially appreciate is how regularly she updates us on Milo’s condition, sharing detailed notes and photos that give us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Milo and treats him like her own pet. We highly recommend Yanhong to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and responsible cat sitter.”
About: I am only booking for dog and cat drop in visits at this time. I enjoy the company of animals and would take care by providing correct food amounts, medicines if needed and love and attention I am available evenings for drop in visits to your cats. I am also available on the weekends all day. I am only booking cats I will follow the owner’s guidelines and ensure safety at all times. I would always ask for the vet information if such an occasion arises.
“Natalia was very easy to work with! She offered a meet-and-greet before our trip and checked in when she had concerns about our dog’s upset tummies. I definitely will book with her again.”
“Natasha was great, super communicative and clearly knows a lot about animals and cares deeply for them. I’d be delighted to book her again to look after Mr. Kitty!”
About: We have been frequently taking care neighbors and friends’ pets. My two teenagers love to play with animals and specially dogs. We can take your dogs to the park for walking and sniffing. I am available taking care your dog at home. Also I have two little helpers to play with your fur babies to make them happy. We are living in a single house with a large yard, dogs can run and play around in the back yard even in raining day.
“Paige did great with a last minute drop in request for me! She followed directions well and was patient with my nervous pup.”
About: It’s important for me to include lots of exercise and human love when taking care of dogs. If the dog isn't tired and lazy at the end of the day, there wasn't enough exercise for the day. I have big experience for many years from small dog breeds to big ones. Different breeds need different things and they have restrictions. I include basic training for puppies like sit, lay down, come, drop, or eat food only on commend, which teaches the dog patience and obedience. Currently i have one beautiful puppy of my own. We went through it all, from obedience training to poop and pee in the house, even crate training. I treat every dog as my own dog and provide the best care. I also care for cats and kittens ?

Thank you for taking care of our kitties so well again!! It helps so much to know they’re in good hands while we’re out of town. :)
Communicative and helpful! Took great photos and great care of my cat for a weekend trip and everything was great. Highly recommended.

Acelynn did such a wonderful job taking care of Remy! She texted me detailed updates and sent the cutest pics. :) I can be a very anxious pet parent but Acelynn’s attentive care ensured that I never had to worry. Remy and I are both happy campers!
It was wonderful to have found Eliana just a couple of days before our trip! She transmits such a calm and positive energy. I noticed that Uma accepted her very well from the beginning, which is not always easy with her. Eliana kept us updated every day with messages and photos, and that gave us great peace of mind during our vacation. We’re very happy with her care and would definitely contact her again in the future!
One of the best sitters we’ve had while living in the tri valley. Easy to communicate with and our cats loved her even though they usually run and hide from strangers.
Julia was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats during her drop-in visits! She's really detail oriented and always makes sure to communicate when something may seem off or different. Thank you again! :D
Sandra was absolutely wonderful with my cat Jesse. She gave us regular updates and went above and beyond to accommodate our shy girl. Highly recommend Sandra to any pet parents!!
Corey did a fantastic job watching my pets. He’s kind, a fast communicator, took pics of pets, and left notes. I would book him again!
Natasha did a great job watching my two cats. She is responsible and trustworthy and the kitties give their approval as well.
Kitty went above and beyond to make sure our first trip away from our kitten, Maggie, went seamlessly. She cares so much about our baby's well-being, and it showed in all the videos and photos she shared with us while we were gone. She also was careful not to let her escape, had suggestions to keep her less bored, and we trust her completely to watch over our her (and our home) while we're gone. We won't hesitate to have her sit for Maggie for all our trips from now on. I think Maggie would insist on it if she could talk! She's a real treasure💖💖
Our kitty Indy clearly loved his visits from Eunice, and we loved that he was in such good hands. Eunice took care of all his needs perfectly, including his requests for extra cuddles. She was very communicative and even helped resolve a small issue we had with contractors at our house while we were on an off-the-grid trip. We absolutely recommend and would rebook Eunice.
My cats, Grogu and Mando, really took a liking to Camille. A week before our appointment, I met Camille at our place to introduce my cats. They really loved her!! She checked in at the agreed upon time, she was able to feed and play with our cats, checked up on our feed and dry kibble, and provided thorough updates! Would love to work with her again!
Jaclyn was amazing taking care of our kitties. She provided updates and photos for each visit and is very responsive. Highly recommended and would definitely use her again!
My cats loved spending time with Sanjana and Slava! (My timid kitty even made a new bff!) Thanks for taking care of them! I highly recommend this duo to care for your fur babies!
Vivian was a very caring cat sitter who is very diligent in providing meaningful updates and getting the best pictures for the rover card
Maya was great with our cats! She’s been very active, engaging them in play sessions, giving special attention to each cat and their needs. She’s thorough with the food needs, always ensuring cats are eating well, had enough water and also attentive to any issues that might be bothering them. She kept the food area and the litter boxes super clean. Her post visit notes are very helpful and comprehensive. She’s also great at plant care. She took care of my 100+ plants very well. I’d 100% recommend her!!
