“Aijalon was a fantastic sitter for my 15 year old cat. This was the first time I had a sitter stay at my home to give my aging cat more attention and care while I was away, and it worked out better than I imagined. Aijalon gave my cat lots of attention and love, sent me just the right number of pictures to check-in every day, and kept my home cleaner than I usually do! I would definitely recommend Aijalon and won’t hesitate to book with her again in the future.”

“Yue Yue was awesome! Super responsive, flexible, and open to our instructions about how to care for our anxious pup. Her updates throughout the day helped us feel comfortable to enjoy ourselves while we were away. Will definitely book with her again! Thank you!”

“Joslyn was an absolute rockstar and made our dog Jackson so comfortable and happy while we were away. She’s super resourceful, follows directions to a T, very communicative, left the home spotless, and honestly a joy to work with overall (and it doesn’t hurt that the pup also loves her!). We can’t wait to have her stay with Jackson again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”

About: 🐾 Welcome! 🐾 Hi! I’m Gabrielle, and I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m home a lot throughout the week. I live in Hayes Valley, which makes it easy for me to get out for walks or check in frequently if I’m caring for your pet in your home. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, lots of playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just wants someone to hang out and cuddle with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I know every pet is different, so I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in, overnight care, or a longer stay, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! My work schedule varies as I am a performing artist. There are periods of time I am on extended breaks during my off-season, however, when I am working I live only 2 minutes from work so it’s easy for me to come and go to check on your dog! Jace will have a lot more flexibility as he is transitioning careers and currently unemployed. Between the two of us one of us is likely to spend most if not all day with your pet! We are open to sittings and boardings. We also live very close to many parks and would love to give your dog a lot of outdoor time and social time if that’s appropriate.

“Moana sprained her leg just a day before Elisa was booked to house sit, but Elisa didn't even flinch and just showed up ready to take copious notes about our adjusted care instructions. She sent detailed reports each day with captioned pictures so we were constantly at ease and able to enjoy our time away knowing our baby was in the best hands. So grateful to have found Elisa ❤️❤️❤️”


“Nicole did a great job at house/pet sitting. She was responsive, respectful, and made the whole process super smooth. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Nicole!”

“Lilit responded to my last minute request for someone to house sit with my doggie and boy am I glad she did! She met with me the day after I first messaged her and she jived very well with my doggie right off the bat. Throughout my trip she kept me updated with daily pictures as well as a schedule breakdown of what care she was providing. I copied and pasted one of these breakdowns below. But one of the best parts what that when I got back to my clean and wonderful home I was met with both a happy puppy and a beautiful drawing of my happy puppy courtesy of Lilit. What we've for today so far : July 3 • 9:00 - 9:10 ( playing catch ) • 9:15 - 9:35 ( walk around the area ) • 10:00 - 11:30 ( playing with his toys ) • 1:00 - 1:30 ( walking around the area ) • 2:15 - 2:30 ( playing catch ) • 3:00 - 3:20 ( playing with his toys ) • 4:00 - 4:30 ( walking around the area ) • 5:10 - 5:30 ( playing wity his toys ) • 6:00 - 6:15 ( playing catch ) • 6:40 - 7:00 ( playing with toys ) Soon we'll go for a walk around 30 min”

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

“Anita looked after my 4-years old boy cat over a long weekend. She was house sitting. I really appreciate her organization, efficiency and her appreciation for detailed instruction. She was also very communicative with me and transparent. Anita spent time playing with my cat and hanging out with him, which is exactly what he needed as he is a very social cat. She left the apartment very clean. I am very happy with her and will certainly use her expertise again!”

“Jenny did such a fantastic job with our dog Winnie! Jenny was very attentive and Winnie’s affection towards her proves just how much care and attention Winnie got. We also appreciate how Jenny took Winnie on lots of walks.”

“Icarus did a great job with our dog, Freckles, while we were on holiday. He took diligent care of our baby, followed all the instructions, administered the medication, and provided us with daily updates. Additionally, the apartment was left sparkling clean.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have years of firsthand experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a longtime pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, basic grooming, and following established routines. I know every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Whether they want lots of activity and attention or simply someone nearby for companionship, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and care I'd want for my own—and keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I'm also available for extended stays when planned in advance. I'm happy to work around your pet's normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routine so things stay as familiar and consistent as possible while you're away. I take the responsibility of caring for both your pets and your home seriously. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, home access, and any special needs or behaviors I should know about. I'll pay close attention to your pet's comfort and behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

“Sara is so respectful of my space when I travel and she takes great care of my cat. He's old and cranky but she formed a bond with him that he had no complaints when I came home. I'd request her again!”

“Shihua was so great with our two little chi mix babies!! I really appreciated her thorough communication and the genuine care she showed for their wellbeing. Would definitely book with her again!!”

“Victoria took great care of our dog, cat, and home on very short notice!!! She was very responsive, sent regular updates, and left our home in great shape!! We would absolutely rebook her in the future and recommend her to others!”

“Lindsey is amazing and very reliable pet sitter, I was so happy to find her last minute. She took a great care of Scipio, I down think here realizes we were gone. Thank you so much!”

“Celine gets five stars for house sitting and taking care of our doggie for two weeks. Celine was very responsive, sending regular messages with photos confirming all was well. When we returned our dog was a happy camper and our house was tidy and in good order. We would be happy to hire Celine again.”

“Lauren was great! We appreciated all the photos and updates. It was easy to get in touch with her to plan and she was very communicative throughout the weekend and when leaving. Would recommend!”

Selena did an incredible job taking care of Ellie! She kept us constantly updated and sent us tons of photos, and it was clear Ellie absolutely loved her. She also took amazing care of our apartment and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely love to have her watch Ellie again!

Gisele was such a great baby sitter for our pup! 1. She was super proactive and prepared even prior to our booking to come and meet Gus Gus and understand his schedule, 2. She is genuinely a very sweet person, our pup enjoyed hanging out with her and we loved the frequent updates from her as well. Gisele handled our new 11 week old pup so week and we hope she will be a regular babysitter for our pup!
We were so lucky to have Kathryn care for Blaze (10yo pittie mix) and José (senior kitty) for two weeks while we traveled in Asia. She followed our detailed routine closely — feeding schedules, meds, and walks all stayed on track, and Blaze got in every one of his daily steps. She kept us updated with frequent photos and asked thoughtful questions whenever something came up. José takes a while to warm up and can get a little feisty once he does, but Kathryn handled him with patience and care, and Blaze seemed happy and comfortable. We'd hire her again without hesitation.

Fiona is attentive and very responsible. She left our home in great condition and even went above and beyond to remake the guest bed and empty the dishwasher so we came home from travel to a tidy place. She takes great care of our cat Miso and is wonderful at keeping her company so she doesn’t get lonely!

Joslyn provided incredible care for our reactive dog and vocal cat. She communicates quickly and effectively and provides frequent updates. I am an anxious dog owner and Joslyn made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend her for your next pet care needs

Jess is amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and competent. She asked all the right questions and sent regular updates. I was very nervous about leaving my geriatric dog, but it was clear he was in good hands, which reduced my stress significantly! She even left the house sparkling clean. I highly recommend her!
