“Jie was amazing and really exceeded my expectations. I had her pop by for a few hours to spend time with my 11 year old and 1 year old French Bulldogs. She walked both dogs twice, encouraged play time, and fed them. She sent photos and updates and even cleaned the dogs bowls after the dogs ate. She is exceptional!!”
“Elise was helpful in booking additional hours at the last minute and she clearly connected with our dog during our short stay. She was responsible around the details of his care and I hope she can help us again soon!”
About: People always say if they could come back as a dog, they’d want to be mine — because I treat my pups better than some people treat their own kids! I’ve raised an Eskimo Spitz and two Bichons, and we’ve traveled cross-country by plane and car together — mostly because I didn’t want to leave them with just any pet sitter. I get how tough it is to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I don’t just cover the basics like food and walks — I make sure your pup gets all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. When I travel, I even fly my dogs to stay with family so I can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I want to be that same peace of mind for you — knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working - have flexible hours and would love to take walks for my own health - why not with a fur baby?? Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I always make sure they’re safe and comfy. I keep everything secure — no sneaky escape routes or anything that could hurt them — and follow your instructions to a T, from feeding to meds to their favorite routines. I’m good at picking up on what your pet needs, whether they want to chill or play, so they always feel happy and relaxed. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love and care in a safe, cozy space.
“Excellent sitter, clearly cared for the boys beyond the requirements. He got an inconsistent eater to eat, cleaned up after one that micturated on a rug, and even played music for them. The one that's generally friendly loved him, and the one that's generally unfriendly tolerated him right off the bat which is impressive.”
About: I have taken care of my own cat for four years now. I work well with any type of cats and am super excited to meet and care for your loving pet! I am a software engineer who wfh in Los Altos so my time is pretty flexible. Just let me know more about your pet need and we can work out a time together! I take great care of my own cat. For my customer’s pet, I will customized to their need for their pet care. Just stay communicated and we can work something out!
“Angie is great! Friendly, responsible, & communicative, she gave my cat the attention & care he needed & me the peace of mind I needed. 10/10 highly recommended & I will absolutely use her services again.”
About: I love dogs and with years of experience as a dog parent to my own two furry friends, I've honed my skills in caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I'm a patient and gentle soul, especially with our senior friends who need a little extra TLC. You can count on me to provide reliable and trustworthy dog walking services, tailored to your pup's unique needs. I also offer assistance with leash training to help your dog become a well-behaved walking buddy. Let's take a stroll and make some unforgettable memories together! Dogs daily routine will be 7am wake up and walk, 8am breakfast and relax, 1pm potty break and treat toys, 6pm dinner and walk, 10pm bedtime. Dogs will receive all the care they need. I can accommodate special needs for extra special dogs. On request, I could work on leash training.
“Kelly is THE BEST. My kitty Monet gets nervous when left alone and usually doesn’t welcome anyone home. Kelly was very patient and now Monet is so friendly with her. Kelly took care of my kitty amazingly, played with her, followed all instructions, stuck to a schedule and went above and beyond. I will absolutely request Kelly again. Our trip was much more stress-free, thanks to Kelly. Would trust and recommend her.”
“Courtney took calked our our little 20 lbs doggie while I was away and and also did some play time with him! Communication was great and I was so relieved to see how happy he was with her. It was our first time with Courtneys help but we will definitely book with her again!”
“Kimberly is Emmy's favorite! She is super responsible and communicative, goes above and beyond, treats my home as her own, and sends me adorable pictures of Emmy. I've even known her to give Emmy gifts (with my permission, of course)!! I couldn't be happier!”
“Minghao was absolutely wonderful with our cat Ichi! He sent fantastic update photos and videos while we were out of town, and even helped out when we needed additional last minute help. Would highly recommend and will absolutely use again!”
“We were very happy to have Ainsley to take care of our two cats while we were away! She sent daily updates with photos, which really put our minds at ease, and both Lychee and Kiwi were relaxed and healthy when we got back. Ainsley is an amazing animal lover and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be glad to work with her again in the future.”
About: Watched both large and small dogs for extended periods of time. My biggest challenge to date - two husky/malamute mixes both 85lbs chasing a squirrel! I am mostly available on weekends but also after work during the week! I’m a night owl so late nights aren’t an issue for me. Super flexible to meet any requests to ensure both you and your fur babies are comfortable! Always willing to send photos your way as I’m sure you’ll miss them while gone!
About: I grew up helping my grandma walk her dogs, and more recently, I supported my host family in caring for several dogs—feeding, walking, and keeping them company. I’ve learned how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and keep them safe and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm mostly available on weekends and can also do evening check-ins if you're away for multiple days. I'm flexible and communicative—feel free to reach out to schedule! Since my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’m not able to host them in my home. I provide care at your home or nearby for walks. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and I make sure to respect your space just like I would my own.
