“Charlie and Angrboda are always very calm and comfy when Jessikah has watched them while I'm away. She always leaves my home clean and tidy, and is the BEST communicator I've had watching my pets. This time, she dealt with two complications: (1) Charlie's old man knee acting up and making him lethargic and uncomfortable, which I'm so thankful she was attentive to; (2) fielding a tree service that was rescheduled to the last day of my trip, which really did me a solid - rescheduling would have been a pain. When Charlie was feeling unwell, she sent videos and called me to make sure I knew what his symptoms were and could give her an informed recommendation for his care. I panicked a little, but her videos helped me identify the issue and decide it was not an emergency. He's doing great, now 🥰”
“Dane was kind, patient, and understanding with our kitties and with us as well! My partner and I had an out of town emergency family, causing us to need to leave last minute & change our booking multiple times. Dane was flexible and understanding throughout the process. Our kitties were very new to our house and skittish, but Dane was gentle with them and helped them get comfortable with him very quickly!”
“Alyssa is amazing! Our pups were so happy to stay with her, and she left our home super clean. We have an older pup who has a lot of special needs, and Alyssa always pays special attention to detail. She’s just the best and our pups agree!”
“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”
About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I currently have three dogs and one cat who I love like family. I’ve also cared for several of my aunt’s pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I care deeply about animals and their wellbeing, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d be happy to give your pets the same level of care and attention! As a senior in high school, I keep a consistent routine that makes it easy to fit in pet care. I’m home before the late afternoon most days, which gives me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, my schedule is very open, so I am able to spend even more time with pets and be flexible for longer visits or multiple walks. Since I already care for my own pets daily, adding additional pet care fits naturally into my regular routine. If needed, I can adjust my schedule to make sure every pet gets reliable attention and care. When I care for pets in my home, I focus on creating a comfortable environment. I make sure they have all their necessities like water, food, and plenty of play and attention. Since I have three dogs and a cat, I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone gets the type of interaction they need. In a clients home, I’ll ensure to follow their routines closely so the pets feels secure and consistent. I’ll make sure to follow any rules and schedules, and especially make sure to bond with the pet so they feel relaxed while their owner is away!
“Alejandra took excellent care of our three dogs, and our home. She communicated well, and transparently, which helped keep us informed on the health and welfare of our “kids”, one of whom was still recovering from dental surgery. She even took her to her follow-up vet visit. When we returned after our 11 day vacation, the house was clean and tidy and the dogs were clearly bonded with her. We will gladly book with Alejandra for all of pur future vacations!”
“Paola was great with little Beau 🐶 he loves her already! She had to be at our house crazy early in the morning, she got here a few minutes early & was wide awake and joyful…. Beau & I will invite Paola back whenever possible!!! 🐶💕”
“Nia came through and saved the day! I couldn't have picked a better sitter for my boys. On top of being super responsive and accepting a relatively last minute booking, she also was very personable and kind. I was so thankful that despite not feeling 100%, she still watched my dogs. I think I can speak for Zeke and Smush in saying we are all happy to only book with Nia moving forward. She’s the best!”
“Korin was amazing as usual. She took great care of our pup while we were away and shared regular updates/photos. Louie loved playing with her and was clearly tired and happy when we got home. Thanks, Korin!”
About: My background spans a lifetime of animal husbandry, from raising horses, poultry, and rabbits on a hobby farm to specialized adult experience with iguanas and high-energy breeds. Most recently, I raised my Pitbull, Fang, from eight weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with puppy development, leash manners, and managing powerful, athletic dogs. I’ve also completed the American Red Cross online Pet First Aid course, adding emergency awareness and safety training to my practical experience. Whether it’s a backyard flock or a misunderstood breed, I provide confident, intuitive care built on decades of working with diverse species. Since my active hours are 8:00 PM to 1:00 PM, I am perfectly positioned for late-night check-ins, early-morning walks, and night-shift owners. My own routine includes three-hour morning adventures with my Pitbull, Fang, ensuring your pets receive high-energy exercise and dedicated attention while the rest of the world is still asleep. Safety and trust are paramount, especially when handling powerful breeds like my Pitbull, Fang. In my home or yours, I maintain a secure, hazard-free environment with a focus on clear boundaries and consistent routines. My "nocturnal" schedule ensures I am alert for late-night needs or early morning exercise when the neighborhood is quietest and safest for walks. Whether it’s managing high-energy dogs, specialized reptile habitats, or backyard flocks, I prioritize double-checking gates, monitoring health cues, and providing constant communication so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
“Diana arrived early which ended up being a blessing as we got ready to go! She did an incredible job as our dog was a bit standoffish at first. Diana quickly built a strong and trusting relationship with our pup and was very patient! Would definitely love to connect her with our dog again!”
“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life I have dealt with all ages of pets, health issues and reactivity. I’m very calm and reliable when it comes to dealing with different personalities of pets. I am currently in search of work after graduating college in San Francisco with my undergraduate degree. I would love to pet sit and walk dogs before settling into a full-time career. I have a very flexible schedule. I currently have two dogs in my home one dachshund and one German Shepherd, who are my pride and joy. I walk them, feed them and groom them and they both love to snuggle. I cannot offer pet sitting at my own home but every pet I have watched over I treat like my own.
“Cashja was great with our two dogs, even though one of them is a blind senior and has lots of needs. We'll definitely ask her for her help again next time we're out of town.”
“Maddy did a drop in visit to walk my dog and feed the dog and cat their dinner, and she was fantastic. She showed up right on time, sent updates and pictures, and was overall reliable and communicative. I would 100% recommend her and rehire her in the future.”

Leo was awesome with our pets. It was our first time leaving our pup Milo who is a 10 month pit with him along with 2 cats. And he took such good care of them and sent us the best pics (professional photography levels) we felt at so much ease knowing Leo is taking care of them. We trusted Leo completely thanks to his amazing communication and care. We most definitely will be using Leo again for caring for our babies and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for utmost care and love for your pets. Thank you so much Leo. You rock !!
Kerri was amazing with our aging pup. She went out of her way to make sure our dog had what she needed to be comfortable, and sent plenty of photos and updates. She gave our pup and us everything needed. Would absolutely have Kerri look after our dog and home again.
Bola is just lovely. She is considerate, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dogs (on short notice no less!) We had never hired a house sitter before and are now wondering why we never did, when there are people like Bola in the world. I feel like I owe them a ride to the airport. Like not even OAK. I owe them a ride to SFO or San Jose. Thank you Bola. We’ll be hoping you’re available every time.
Alisa is an exceptional caretaker. It can be difficult to find a trustworthy dog sitter when you’re new to the area, so I feel very fortunate to have found her. She was respectful of my home and left everything in perfect condition. Most importantly, my Cavalier was well cared for and happy. I would highly recommend Alisa without hesitation.
Erin was a delight to work with—she handled dog/housesitting (2 senior rescues, one rambunctious Aussie shepherd) during an atmospheric river with grace and aplomb. Communicative, punctual, and left the house in great shape. Would not hesitate to have her return.
My pup Lulu came down with a stomach issue the day before we left for our trip. Rebecca worked with me to come up with a plan for her care and monitoring, adjusting her diet as Lulu recovered and sending me regular updates on Lulu's progress. Being 3000 miles away, it was such a relief to know that Lulu was in good hands and that Rebecca was prepared for the worst case scenarios. Thanks to Rebecca, I came home to a happy and healthy pup!
We are so happy to have connected with Jamie who provided house-sitting care for our daughter’s husky-malamute mix, Kazami. Jaime was caring and attentive to Kazami, who at 2.5 years old is energetic and loves the attention! Jamie walked, fed, and played with her, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our family can wholeheartedly recommend Jaime!
Devon was a great dog sitter! She did a wonderful job following all of Bailey’s care instructions and had her snuggling with him within a couple of hours of arriving! She was great at giving me updates about how things were going while I was gone, including photos, and I felt totally at ease the whole week I was gone. She took great care of my place and everything was neat and tidy when I came back and I will absolutely be working with Devon again! You should too!
