House Sitting in Downtown North, Palo Alto, CA

“Ian is the best! He was so thoughtful, communicative, and clearly really loves dogs. Our senior dog had a minor medical situation right before we left and Ian was extra vigilant, kind, and responsive to make sure we knew how she was doing (totally fine) and sent photos of her enjoying walks and such. He was super respectful of our home and we're already to rebooking with him for our next trip!”

“Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!”

“Shalese was a perfect sitter for our dog, Bobo. She sent us daily pictures to keep us updated and even took him to a dog costume party we mentioned to her at our local park! I would highly recommend Shalese if you’re looking for a sitter. Bobo loved her so much and looked like he had a great time.”

“We had an amazing experience with Liz! One of our pups needs to take medications at specific times to manage her epilepsy. Liz was very attentive and detail oriented. She also was a great communicator and sent us videos every day. On top of that, both of our dogs adored her!! Highly recommend Liz and can’t wait for our pups to hang out with her again!”

“Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!”

“We came home to very happy and relaxed kitties, I could tell they were well cared for. Our apartment was left clean, Stephanie was communicative, and she followed instructions. Thank you so much!”

“We reached out to Cordigen with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible from our very first messages and meeting. She immediately recognized that our pup needed support with calm greetings and was so thoughtful in how she approached her, speaking softly and offering gentle, kind reminders to Scout not to jump. Throughout the day, Cordigen was wonderfully communicative, sending photos and updates so we always knew how Scout was doing. She even played calming music on the TV and was happily playing with Scout in the backyard when I arrived home. At pickup, she gave a detailed rundown of the day, from bathroom breaks to how she helped Scout stay calm when she heard noises outside. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Cordigen as a sitter and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for dog care, especially for dogs who may be a bit anxious or need extra help staying calm. Thank you, Cordigen!”

“She answered my last-minute request and took care of our two large German shepherds and one tiny dog perfectly - our dogs immediately fell in love with her, and usually they are an annoying, noisy bunch, but they behaved chill. Thank you so so much for taking care of them and I'd love to ask you to take care of them again.”

“We all love Austin! He met Luna and CB with our dog trainer and learned all of our pet's habits. This was our first time using Rover and Austin easily explained the procedure and asked all the right questions. He sent multiple picture each day and was quick to answer texts from us. He went on walks, played in the backyard and handled our fur babies very well. We already scheduled our next baby sitting as well as introducing our other dogs in the mix! Calm demeanor and very kind !”

“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”

“Barbara was a fabulous and easy dog sitter to work with. She was fast to communicate, sent frequent photos, and left our house cleaner than she found it. We are looking forward to using her again in the future.”

Kelsey G.

“Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of our Labrador Retriever, Sophie. He took her for walks several times a day, did some training with her, and gave her plenty of love and attention. Stephen also sent us regular updates, including photos, videos, and text messages while we were away. We highly recommend Stephen to care for your beloved pet. Tim & Sandy”

“Kathryn house sat and took care of my dog Milo for a week. She was flexible, easy to communicate with and took excellent care of my home and puppy. Highly recommend! I will definitely work with her again. Thank you Kathryn!”

Amanda T.

“Fang was amazing! Our dog Annie is a recent rescue and is still really anxious about new people and things. Fang went out of her way to meet with Annie multiple times before she watched her, and gave Annie the time and space to really warm up to her. She was so wonderfully patient with Annie. We knew she was in good hands when we left - and Fang sent us plenty of photos which helped reassure us that Annie was doing ok while we were gone. Annie clearly had a great time!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, whether it was walks, playtime, or just keeping their pets company. I’ve also cared for pets for several days at a time while their owners were away - making sure they felt safe, happy, and loved until their family returned. I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs (whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or happiest just snuggling on the couch). Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. Because to me, they’re not “just pets” - they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine: I make time every day for walks, play, and plenty of snuggles. My schedule is flexible, which means I can adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so spending time with pets is not just part of my routine: it’s one of the best parts of my day. When caring for pets in a family’s home, I always treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all feeding and care instructions carefully, and keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being. I believe in building trust through consistency, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention, so your pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away.

“Roy was such a great sitter for our two (high energy) Australian Shepherds! He was very communicative and kept us informed with updates and photos. One of our dogs has some medical needs and I was confident he was in good hands with Roy. He also took great care of our house and honestly left it better than when we left. Would highly recommend!”

“Dominique was AMAZING! My pups went right to her with tails wagging (they usually bark and run away....), she sent photos and responded to my texts in a timely manner, followed the instructions, and was very respectful of my home. Overall a great experience, I will definitely be using her again!”

Janette J.

“Trina took care of Xander and Teal over the holidays. So grateful to her for taking such good care of my babies, especially giving Xander his meds which is a tough job. She is responsible, caring, clean and loving. Would trust her with my babies any day!”
