Shalyn was wonderful to our fur family while we were gone. We got daily pictures and videos and she was very competent, respectful, clean and kind! We will be using her again in the future!

Michelle is the absolute best. She stayed with my girls for a few nights and took great care of them. She’s great with sending detailed updates and photos. Michelle is reliable, professional, and has a special way with animals.

Janey is a fantastic dog sitter. She is incredibly thoughtful and caring. She house sat for my two dogs and from all the photos and videos it seems they really trusted her, felt safe with her, and were able to be their spunky selves with her. It’s true that she will go above and beyond your expectations. If you’re looking for a sitter that will ease the stresses of leaving your animals with great communication, Janey is who you want.

Alessandra is the GOAT! I was naturally a bit anxious about a stranger staying in my house, but she completely blew those worries away. Her energy is 10/10!! She is sweet, genuine, and incredibly loving toward my dog Tito! We started this booking as strangers and ended it as great friends. If you can snag a spot on her calendar, DO IT. She is a total gem and an absolute professional!

We used Veronica to house sit and to watch our cat and dog. Veronica communicate with us daily about our animals and sent us pictures. She was super friendly and listened to all of our needs in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Veronica and definitely will be using her again to watch our animals.

I don’t think that anything I’ll write will do justice to how amazing her care was for my pup Archie. Ria watched Archie over Christmas and she did an amazing job. She constantly send me updates with pictures and videos. I’m always anxious leaving and always worry about Archie but I really did not have to. Archie loves her and always gets excited to see her. Ria has walked Archie many times and she takes him on little adventures to the beach or the dog park. She is very quick to respond and open to any needs. Archie can get very anxious sometimes but I know that Ria knows what to do and knows how to help him in the situation. I 100% recommend Ria for your dog sitting or walking needs. And I will definitely book with her again.

Thank you Liz for taking such good care of our fur babies! We have a very needy (high separation anxiety) puppy and she was able to stay with him and our other dog all day :D. She also followed our directions/routines to the tee - walking, feeding, training. She went above and beyond and even clear our floors when she noticed the dogs made it dirty. We are truly grateful for Liz. Her dedication and professionalism are unmatched! Will be reaching out to her again :)

Matomi dog sat our dogs, Koda and Luna for 3 days. It has been awhile since we needed this service. Koda and Luna was well cared for, while we were away, Matomi also kept us updated and also sent us photos of Koda and Luna. The pictures she sent were so comforting for us to see because Koda and Luna look so comfortable and relaxed. We didn't feel any worries and felt so comfortable with Motomi caring for them and house sitting. We will always use Motomi when we need her services again. Thank you Motomi. Ray, Maki, Koda, and Luna.

Josh has totally won over my complicated pup! I was so concerned about leaving, not only did Josh put my worries to rest, it became apparent immediately that he could handle anything that came up and my dog excitedly waited for him every day as his new best friend! I will never be hesitant to leave as long as Josh is available!

Seriously, the best dog sitter ever. My two GSD’s are not typical dogs. They like to bond with a person and enjoy lots of walks. VIctoria treated them like royalty, sent me a ton of pictures and walked the dogs several times a day. My house was clean when I got home and she had even washed and tied the sheets. I can’t say enough good things about her

Paige did a great job watching my dog and housesitting while I was gone. She was always quick to respond to messages, sent daily updates and videos, and I came home to a clean, tidy house and a relaxed, happy pup. She was a little later than scheduled starting on the first day but after that it was smooth sailing. She even kept my sweet pea seedlings alive for me. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Paige!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and from a young age I learned to understand their personalities, rhythms, and unique ways of communicating. That natural sensitivity isn’t something you learn later in life—it’s something you grow up with. I’m a geographer with studies in biology and a master’s degree in territorial development, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, environment, and safety. My life has always been connected to nature. I rock climb and hike regularly, so if your pet is active, I can offer exploration, movement, and outdoor experiences. If your pet prefers calm, I provide routine, stability, and a peaceful environment. I adapt with patience to every temperament, from the most independent and reserved to the most affectionate and curious. My experience as a teacher strengthened my empathy, calm communication, and ability to create trust. I can also administer non‑injectable medications and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. I chose pet care because it brings me back to what’s real, simple, and full of heart. When your dog or cat stays with me, they’ll be treated with love, respect, and dedication—like part of my ʻohana. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I’m available in the mornings, throughout the day, and in the evenings, including weekends. When possible, I also accept last‑minute requests. My priority is keeping your dog or cat on a stable routine, with steady company and a safe, calm environment. I only offer pet care in the client’s home and adventure walks, because I believe pets feel safer and more relaxed when they stay in their own familiar environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as they know it—feeding times, medication, play, rest, and any special instructions. I respect your home’s rules and adapt to your pet’s temperament, whether they’re independent, shy, or very affectionate. I also offer adventure walks, ideal for active dogs who enjoy exploring, hiking, or releasing energy in nature. Thanks to my experience with hiking and climbing, I guide them with calm attention, safety, and responsibility. In both cases, I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is creating stability, trust, and a caring environment wherever your pet feels most at home.

Yee Ki took great care of both our pup, fish, and house +house plants! She met with us first to learn the special needs of our pup (medical condition) and we felt at ease getting to meet her in person first. Yee Ki provided regular photo updates, and extra communication when necessary. The house was in the same condition as when we left - tidy and neat. It’s clear she took extra care to ensure our return home would be comfortable and stress free. We appreciate Yee Ki’s service and would recommend her to anyone.

Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!

She was very prepared to care for them and asked all the important questions to ensure the pups were happy and comfortable. She left the apartment in pristine condition when I got home.
