Evanette was fantastic, she gave us frequent updates on Elf, and our house looked better than we left. My wife asked her to move in!

Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.

About: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.

Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!

Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊

He went above and beyond for Mr. Kitty while we were away, giving him tons of attention, keeping us updated with photos and videos, and making sure Mr Kitty was completely comfortable the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our furrbaby was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be rebooking again. Highly recommend!!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛

Hailey was so amazing with my baby Storm! I had to leave out of town last minute for the 4th of July and she quickly responded to my request! We met up the next day so she could meet Storm and she even brought her a toy 🥹🥹. When I was away she would update me daily and at multiple times throughout the day so I could be at ease. Storm has a lot of attachment anxiety and doesn’t like yo be alone so Hailey was very good about not leaving her! I 100% recommend her and will be rebooking her soon!

Rebecca took our last minute booking to watch our Ralphie after another sitter cancelled the day before our trip. She came by for a meet & greet within hours and we were relieved to see how our pup and Rebecca got along from the start! As for the stay, Rebecca arrived at our house on time and was great about keeping us updated. When we came home, our house was clean and she even washed any dishes she used - it was so nice to see that Ralphie was happy and our house was how we left it! We definitely recommend Rebecca for your pet sittting needs in the East Bay.

She was also able to accommodate a day of last minute holiday weekend booking and made the boarding work with her schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay and I would definetly recommend her and use her again!

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.

This was an outstanding experience! Liz took the time to meet our pets before we made our decision, which gave us peace of mind. Her experience and education in animal care are evident, and she has a natural affinity for animals. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with regular videos and photos, ensuring we were always informed. We returned to a perfectly clean house…trash taken out, beds stripped, and more. We will definitely book with Liz again as soon as possible!

Bryson stayed at our house to watch our GSP for the weekend. He kept us updated throughout his time with our dog and took great care of him. Our dog is very high energy so it was great to find a sitter that is used to all types of temperaments. The house was clean when we got back home and he even washed the sheets. We will definitely be asking Bryson to watch our dog again in the future!
