“Gary and Carol agreed to watch Spettro my blind IG when my regular sitter was out of town! They both were very welcoming, warm, kind, and flexible. They provided a safe home and comforting snuggles throughout the day! Spettro came home happy and tuckered out each day! Spettro will definitely want to go back and visit! Thanks again Gary and Carol!!!!!”

“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”

“Cassie is an exceptional dog sitter who goes above and beyond when caring for my pup Arlo. She has great communication and is always sending updates throughout the day with with photos and videos. She also does training and is very available to answer any questions I have. I would definitely recommend Cassie when looking for someone to care for your dog!”

“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”

About: I have two miniature Dachshunds who are my best friends. I deeply understand the need for someone trustworthy to not only care but also love your dog when you can’t. I’m here to help. I work 7 days on 7 days off. During my off time I’m home without any other responsibilities and have all day to take care of your best friend. I have a fenced yard and two friendly small dogs to keep your baby company. My dogs are free to roam the house, but also have a guest room for them to keep space if they need it.
“Michelle agreed to watch our puppy on a very last minute request. She was very friendly and responsive! We also appreciated her frequent updates and pictures throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend!”

“Mark was great! He initiated a meet and greet - which I really appreciate as my dogg doesn't like to be left alone. Mark seemed comfortable with my dog. I would recommend him to my friends.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’ve trained dogs in basic skills, cared for puppies 24/7, and have hands-on experience with cats, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and creating calm, safe spaces. I enjoy walks, cuddles, and building trust with every pet, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently do dog and cat sitting full-time and truly love being around animals. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with toys, giving treats, cuddling, bathing, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, care, and affection. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I have a fenced yard and always maintain secure spaces for pets. I visit dogs in their own homes, handle feeding, potty breaks, and medications carefully, and ensure they’re happy, safe, and well-cared-for at all times.
“Emma is wonderful and her doggy camp is the best. Our pups are always well taken care of and have a blast running around their big yard - this is especially wonderful for our high energy Boston terrier pups. They normally fall asleep on the ride home and we are so thankful!”

“Veronica took excellent care of our 13.5 year old Penny Lane. She took her on a walk with her pups and sent multiple photos throughout the day which we so appreciated. Veronica is a conscientious person who understands dog behavior. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Veronica to look after Penny Lane again in the future. Thank you, Veronica!”

“Annie has been with Sarah for 4 days this week. Annie turned 1 & Sarah & her family gave Annie a Bday party. It was so special and I really appreciated it. Thank you Sarah!!😘😘😘😘”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“With roofers banging on the house, Juno and Polly needed a quiet and fun place to stay during the working hours. They could not have been better cared for. More workers coming over the next two weeks. We’ll reserve our spaces today. Thank you.”


“Wow what a great dog sitter! She took ths time to explain how she introduces a new dog to the mix. She sent a ton of photos and gave me details throughout the day. My little pup had a blast! Thanks so much!”

“Devin was great with my puppy. Found out that my pup has a little bit of separation anxiety, but Devin managed to keep her distracted with walks and play time. Very happy with our experience. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I grew up in a house filled with many family dogs of all different shapes, sizes and backgrounds. My grandparent raised me and I helped her look after all of her various animals from a very young age. I had my own Bernese Mt Dog Freya until November 2023, she lived until she was 12.5 years young which was an amazing achievement for her breed, she was the love of my life and hanging out with her was my all time favourite thing to do. I have always been the go to dog sitter for all of my friends and family since I was a teenager, I like to be around dogs as much as possible because they bring so much joy to each day, I have also worked with local dog shelters fostering & walking dogs. When a dog is in my care, they will receive unique care and attention based on their needs, I truly look forward to hanging out with your pup! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I can adjust and accommodate to a dog's specific care needs. I take daily walks with or without a pup in my care but a pup always makes the walk more fun and exciting! My home is set up for dogs due to having my own large dog for the last 10 years as well as many other dog visitors over the years, I live very near to a fantastic park and enjoy walks with pups.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
