1. Leslie V.

“Leslie was just what I was looking for to help me with my anxious dog as I went away for the weekend. She is very easy to communicate with and responsive. She was great about arrival and departure times and kept my dog and my house safe. My dog was definitely less stressed when I got home compared to drop in visits which we have done in the past. I will use her again for sure.”


2. Lesley C.

“Lesley did a great job taking care of our Penny Rose puppy and the house. Lesley communicates well and sent us daily texts with pictures/videos. We highly recommend Lesley and feel very comfortable with her being at our house while we are gone.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and have now been in the veterinary field for 4 years so I can ensure I can provide the care they will need! I've worked with a multitude of different animals and can't wait to meet your fur baby! I work as a veterinary assistant 4 days a week but I know my schedule well in advance and can always figure out what would work best! I will ensure proper food and water are provided, potty breaks are maintained, and all of the needed play time and walks are had as well.

5. Jennifer D.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since a child. As an adult I’ve fostered several dogs to help find them homes. Big animal lover who likes structure. I don’t let my pets in the kitchen and try to teach them not to beg. I currently have open availability, so plenty of time to help play with your pups and care for them while you’re gone. Whether it just be for a few hours, or overnight. I have a smaller backyard, but it fenced, and available for pets to use. I live close by a gorgeous park, so love heading for walks, & playing catch somewhere nearby.


6. Emma C.

“Emma was AMAZING to my three seniors and spoiled chihuahuas. As old babies, they have special needs. She was on time for meals and medication ( insulin 2x/day). My dogs were comfortable with her care and kindness. I relaxed for three days when I saw by the home cameras she followed the rules about my diabetic dog food and insulin injections. She was confident and made me trust in her care. We are so glad to had her in our house. I really appreciated her care to my seniors Chihuahuas 💙🩷🩷 Thank you so so much, Emma🙏 Lots love from Gaucho, Panda, Cookie, Claudia e John🙏🙏”

My pets are always happy and well-cared for, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they are in such capable hands. I highly recommend Celeste to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver.”

12. Alyson T.
About: Hi there ! My name is Alyson & I’m 24 and have a BS from SFSU. I’ve had several dogs of my own while growing up and now that I’m older I take care of other people dogs! I’ve been walking dogs on Wag since 2018 but the past year I have gotten more into house sitting / pet sitting using a platform called Trusted House Sitters . I have been trusted to stay and take care of peoples dogs anywhere from a weekend to almost the entire month. I have a perfect 5 star rating on there as well as being background checked. I’m happy to share my profile from that website as well. I feel very comfortable caring for peoples dogs & houses overall. I’m big dog friendly— as I grew up having American Staffordshire Terriors and Pitbulls — and have sat / walked dozens of big dogs. I’m a dog park veteran and love a good yappy hour. I’m also perfectly happy with a cuddle couch potato as well:) Overall, I’m happy to take care of your fur baby and excited to make new connections. My schedule is pretty flexible! Each day I typically see 1 or 2 clients and sometimes none, so I’m only busy for a few hours each day. When I’m caring for your pet I’ll always make sure to follow your guidelines as well as house rules. I’m very tidy, attentive, and love playing / snuggling with dogs.
