We had to leave our goldendoodle for three days while out of state. She had not been left alone since being boarded at our vet 4 years ago, so we had concerns. Heather was wonderful! She came to our house twice before we left to learn our dog's habits and become familiar with her. Heather stayed at our home during our time away. She followed our dog's schedule to perfection (feeding time, potty time, nap time, bed time, play time, etc.). The day after our return, our dog was looking around for Heather. Heather also updated us regularly, including photos. I would recommend her highly, and hope to use her again.

Arabelle was incredible! She took such attentive care of midnight, and updated often! The place was in immaculate condition when we returned, which is more than I could ask for. She became midnights best friend for a few days, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter, I will definitely book again!!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. As an educator, I've also cared for classroom pets throughout my career, including fish and reptiles. In addition, I have experience caring for pet birds. Because of this, I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats. Whether your family includes a playful puppy, an independent cat or birds! I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care. I'm dependable, patient, and have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping active pets engaged. If your pet prefers a quieter pace, I'm just as happy providing companionship, cuddles, and a calm, reassuring presence. As a teacher, I'm organized, responsible, and an excellent communicator. You can count on me to follow your pet's routine carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you'll always have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the day, so I'm available most weekdays after 4:00 PM for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and medication administration if needed. I'm also available on many weekends and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique routines, preferences, and needs, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's maintaining their regular feeding schedule, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes or habitats, or following specific care instructions, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I believe in open communication and will provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I respect my clients' homes, keep them clean and secure, and make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are safely closed before I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pets complete peace of mind.

Gabriela was our very first experience with overnight (multi-day) dog sitters outside of our immediate family and we could not have been happier! She came to visit us at our home prior to booking and sweet, calm demeanor put us right at ease. She was communicative the entire time- sending regular photos of walks, playtime and sleepytimes. She alerted us of any minor concerns and even kept up with a special diet and doggie eye drops! She was respectful of our home and left it tidy and even took her sheets off the bed and emptied the garbage. Our dogs were excited and clearly well cared for upon our return. We would not hesitate to book Gabriela again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Ellyana & Alexander went above and beyond to care for our beloved Frisby. Thank you! We had discussed some of Frisby's health issues before we left home but did not expect Ellyana to have to immediately deal (perfectly) with Frisby when she needed close care and attention. We got home asap to follow up and Frisby is ok. 5 stars plus to both Ellyana & Alexander plus taking care of all the basics of her care and special attention when she was ill.

Jordan was fantastic. During the Meet & Greet, she asked all the right questions and it was very clear from the start that she is a professional who takes dog- and house-sitting seriously. We had her watched three large dogs for a full day and everything went smoothly. The dogs loved her and she kept us informed of how things were going. My daughter (two the three dogs were hers) also had high praise for Jordan. We will definitely seek out her services when we next need someone to watch Gracie.

About: I have had 4 cats and 2 dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love animals and grew up pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors!! Grew up with all kinds of pets, my personal specialty being feisty rescues. Love them all and happy to accommodate special care instructions!! I am a full-time grad student, so morning and evening visits are preferred - although I can often accommodate one lunchtime visit during the week! I care for pets in the clients home only, as I have a temperamental rescue cat at home that isn’t trusting of other animals. I am happy to accommodate special care instructions for all kinds of animals and will be sure to give lots of love every time I visit! Feedings, walks, litter pickup, play time, etc. (:

Camryn was beyond amazing!! She went above and beyond with her communication from the first request to meet&greet and throughout the sit. My dog fell a bit sick during her stay and she took great care of him (and the carpet). She's very kind and considerate not just towards the pet but also to their humans. I cannot recommend her enough!

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.

My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and living areas, administering medications when needed, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.

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!

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!

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!

I was so pleased with Joo’s ability to connect with my 2 dogs. Both are rescues and have specific needs: Lizzie is fearful and very anxious; Quigley was a stray—perhaps for years—and is house trained only when his human is home. She handled both of their needs with compassion and kindness. They warmed up to Joo quickly. Joo sent my photos and videos of my kids while I was away. It was obvious that they were having a really good time. That put my mind at ease and a smile on my face.
