“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”


“Excellent service. Dane has great communication. He updates me everytime he comes and check on the pups. He takes cute pictures of them and spent time with each one, make sure they get all the attention they need. One of my dogs is reactive and difficult to handle, while most people turn him away, Dane makes sure he gets the care that he needs. I’m for sure will be a returning customer.”


“We used Erica for house/pet sitting services over the course of 5 nights/6 days. She stayed with our 3 dogs on and off throughout the day, feed them, walked them and also stayed at night. Erica was awesome from start to finish. She was super flexible, came for an initial meet and greet and also came back a second time to visit and go over details, get keys, etc. She provided us with updates and pictures as requested and always replied quickly. We will definitely be using Erica again!”


“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”


“We are so grateful to Korin for watching out little guy. Our dog is a rescue and can be really shy around new people. Korin handled him like a pro and even got him playing and enjoying pets! We will definitely keep Korin in mind for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Anais took excellent care of our pets and home while we were away for the weekend. Our dog can be a little finicky and needs a lot of company, but Anais was enthusiastic about getting to know his routine and we arrived home to find relaxed animals and the house just like we left it (she even washed her sheets - really not necessary!). Thanks Anais!”


“All the reviews are true - Kerri is simply amazing! She was really great with the dogs and left the house so clean that it felt like no one had touched it!. One of the dogs can be reactive on leash, and she handled her like it was a piece of cake. Happy to know the dogs and the house are in good hands with Kerri. Will be using her again for sure.”


“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”


About: One of my first memories is of adopting a stray that we named Chiqule (Gum, in Spanish) because he decided to stick around. Ever since then I’ve picked up many of our four legged friends and made them family dogs. Many years since having my own pet, my love for our furry friends has yet to dwindle and I continue to pet-sit and house-sit just for the opportunity to hang in with a little fur ball. I have experience with a small senior dogs and dogs who have required medication, 3+ walks a day, or an extensive park visit. I’ve house-sat and makes sure to build my schedule around my four-legged, temporary bestie to ensure a stress-free time. I like to establish constant communication and updates with the pet-parent to make sure all is well. I regard play time highly but makes sure to only ruff-house and much as per-parent sees fit. Cuddles are optional but recommended. I my work hours are 8:30-5 but travel form Berkeley to Hayward so I can pop in within that 15 mile radius! My weekends are a lot more flexible. I make sure to follow a requested guideline and/or care checklist from pet-parents. I make sure to scope out the potential yard for any hazards and establish some trust with pets before going out on our first walk. If treats are allowed or provided, I will reward my furry friend when I see best on our initial walks to establish trust and respect. Play-time is important and can also be carried out as the pet-parent sees fit.

“Alyssa is an incredible sitter who pays close attention to detail and asks a lot of questions to better understand your pet's schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”


“Nicole was an amazing dog sitter, and I would use her again in a heartbeat. My dachshund is an older guy, and he is both deaf and struggling with dementia, which means that he requires a lot of care and help. Nicole was incredibly accommodating with regard to his needs - organizing her household to make it safe for him, watching him closely when he was around other dogs, etc. Nicole is also very gracious. For example, I found out upon returning from a two week trip that my dog had been waking her up really early. Rather than complaining about that - which would have been totally justified! - she figured out a way to deal with his early morning needs. Communication was wonderful, I received updates and pictures multiple times a day, and when I picked my pooch up, he seemed happy and well adjusted. Thank you so much Nicole!!”


“Daria was absolutely wonderful & we will 100% be reaching out again in the future for pet sitting. House was left in perfect condition, and dogs were so happy and content when we got home. Daria is amazing at keeping you updated throughout the whole time you’re gone. We got so many amazing pictures and updates. If you’re looking for a pet sitter and come across Daria, I would totally recommend! THANK YOU !”

About: I have worked at a dog hotel/day care for over 4 years. I have volunteered at the SPCA shelter cleaning and caring for dogs and cats. I have also been in programs that discuss animal behavior. I have had dogs since I was eight years old and always took care of them. I enjoy being around animals because they are just so adorable! Lists of what needs to be done are appreciated. Just by having the presence of a dog or cat makes me happy because they are such loving animals. I enjoy petting animals. When my dogs make a mess I always clean up after them. When they are hungry or thirsty I will always provide them with food and water. As well as giving them treats! Overall, animals have always made me happy :) ! I currently have a full time job working at a dog hotel/day care, I will be able to take care of your pup(s) after work and on my days off or after work!(yes I love dogs a lot) I loveee spending time with my three dogs (2 pitties and a mini poodle). I like taking them baths (even though they hate it) I take care of them and play with them as well. I currently work at a dog hotel/day care and the entire day I spend it taking care of them as well as cleaning up after them :) !

“She is my savior! agreed to take care of our dogs at the last minute, and she did it perfectly. All of my dogs absolutely love her and they looked very comfortable around her. Thank you so so much!”
