As always, CJ is the best. Not only for how he takes care of our furry friend Simon, but also for keeping the house spotless and paying attention to all the details. We were away from home for 8 days and couldn't be more grateful. We love you CJ.🤗

Evelyn took care of our rescue dog like her own. She made sure to review our guide in advance (our dog has some triggers based on his shelter experience). She was very affectionate and our dog ended up cuddling with her. Would love to book Evelyn again!

Jeannette was great. Kept me informed when she got Jake in at night. She even came early the day I departed and stayed late the day I was returning to let Jake out and get Jake in. Everything was perfect when I came home.

I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough! He stayed with my dog during my wedding weekend and went above and beyond in every aspect. Not only did he take exceptional care of my dog, but he also looked after my home with the utmost responsibility. Stephen provided extremely thorough updates throughout the weekend, giving me complete peace of mind during a busy and important time. He was incredibly responsive and attentive to every detail. I will absolutely be using him again—he’s an outstanding sitter!

Allie was a fantastic sitter for our dog Rosie!! She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure Rosie was comfortable and happy while we were away. Rosie has a lot of energy and Allie made sure she was entertained! She kept us updated with how Rosie was doing several times a day. We felt very at ease knowing that Rosie was in good hands with her and her partner. Highly recommend!!

I have known Julia for five years, and during that time, she has been a loving and gentle caregiver to my two dogs, Aussiedoodle (4) and Personal Jack Russell (8). She has taken both of them for walks at the same time with no problem, and the dogs both adore her. Your pups will be in excellent hands with Julia!

I've never seen dogs gravitate to people, like they do to Kaden! Kaden brings so much energy and excitement into his interactions with animals, so clearly, it's mutual. Kaden is especially skilled with larger dogs, or dogs who might need a more active lifestyle. He'll gladly take your furry friend for a run, hike, or big adventure. You can also be sure that Kaden is attentive and will keep your pet safe while out and about. As a guest in your home, Kaden is clean, responsible, and goes above and beyond to care for your space. He's highly communicative and will keep you up to date on all the fun you're missing out on! Kaden has also watched my cat, who loves him equally! I would highly recommend Kaden for anyone looking for a pet sitter who will make your pet his priority. We love him!

Maria was such an incredible sitter for both my dog and cat! She was very patient with my relatively high-energy dog, taking her for several walks and to the dog park. My dog can be quite a handful for sitters, and Maria was fully up to the job. She also immediately became fast friends with my cat (who doesn't often like people) and diligently cared for her. I highly recommend Maria as a pet sitter!

Alexis was very thoughtful and diligent in her approach to caring for our pups. She went above and beyond to give them lots of exercise time outside and play time inside. She also kept us updated on each dog’s status, so we could discuss any potential changes in care that might be helpful. We look forward to having Alexis look after the pups again soon (and I know they’d love future opportunities for cuddle time with her!)

10 years of experience

About: With over a decade of pet sitting experience and having fostered 5 litters of puppies, I'm excited to meet your pet! As a volunteer for DPS rescue, I worked with shelter intake, adoption events, and took in litters of puppies, typically with no mother. I have experience with dogs who are not good with other dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. I have also done house-sitting in the bay area with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, snakes, and lizards. I have a ball python at home so I am open to non-traditional pets. As a business analyst by day, I am detail-oriented and can follow specific instructions to keep your home in great shape while you are on your trip. I work full time in Milpitas from 9-6. Your pet will need to be okay being left alone for 9-10 hours on workdays, but I will always come to the house after work to check in with them and walk dogs. I commute by car and can sleep overnight at your house weeknights and weekends. As a dedicated house sitter, I provide personalized care for your dogs, cats, and reptiles right in the comfort of their home. I try to stick to the animal's typical routine as much as possible. For dogs, I provide twice daily walks, playtime, and plenty of pets to keep them happy and engaged. With cats, I will give the cat as much love as their personality desires. When it comes to reptiles, I understand that each species has specific needs, ensuring proper habitat maintenance and feeding schedules. I’ll keep you updated with regular check-ins while you're away.

Cora was so helpful and watched our dog Penny super last minute. She picked her up from our apartment in the morning and then brought her back in the evening and waited with her until we got home. She was so nice and accommodating, and sent us pictures throughout the day! Highly recommend! Thank you Cora! :)
