4. Wenxin S.

“Lucia went above and beyond to care for my two pups going through major lifestyle changes and separation anxiety. I really appreciate her attention to detail, kindness, and patience. She put my pups before anything else and didn’t mind staying overtime a bit for them and wait for them to settle down before leaving. I would recommend her to any pet parent!”


5. Elise G.

“I'm a repeat customer - Elise was great! I had an error in my booking (wrong date) and Elise was attentive & communicative to fix the error promptly! Thanks again Elise!”


6. CJ T.


“I needed a last minute solution as I was traveling to the bay area from NYC for work and had to bring my mini aussie with me. I am so grateful I found CJ ! Very professional and accommodating. But the best review comes from my dog herself. When he showed up to watch her on day 2, she was SO excited to see him she barely noticed when I left. Will one hundred percent hire him anytime we are back in the Bay Area!”


7. Michael V.

“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: What sets mI have experience in training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors. I'm also skilled in providing compassionate senior pet care, which includes administering medications and addressing specific needs. My commitment to tailoring my services to each pet's unique requirements, along with my genuine love for animals, makes me a standout choice for pet owners seeking a caring and knowledgeable sitter. I have time to walk the dogs every week from 9am-12:30pm except for Mondays. I'll be in the Bay Area this Thanksgiving and Christmas that isn't coming, and boarding is open now! my care for pets would depend on the service I offer. In my home, I would ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, provide regular feeding and exercise, and offer companionship. In a client's home, I'd follow the instructions they send, maintain routines, and give the pets the attention and care they need, which may include feeding, walking, and playtime. It's crucial to tailor the care to each pet's specific needs and preferences.


9. Kinsey G.
“I have known Kinsey for nearly three-years, and she is one of the most dependable, kind-hearted, and responsible individuals I know traits that make her exceptionally well-suited for working with animals. I myself foster shelter dogs and Kinsey always comes to visit them; her natural affinity with dogs is immediately apparent. Whether caring for her own animals or helping out with others’ animals, she is patient and attentive, and, given that she is getting her doctorate in Clinical Psychology, she has extensive understanding of animal behavior. She can handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments with calm, consistent care. In addition to her love for animals, she is incredibly reliable. You can count on her to show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and go the extra mile to ensure the dogs in their care are safe, exercised, and happy. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”


10. Carolina P.
“Carolina was great sitter. She looked after my cat Bruce. I received daily updates and pictures from her. My cat was happy and well taken care of thanks to Carolina’s attentive visits while I was away for a few days.”




11. Alondra M.
“Alondra comes with my highest recommendation! She is absolutely wonderful with my cat — caring, attentive, and patient. She keeps everything in my place spotless and is always so well-organized and punctual. Whether I need her for just a few hours or several days, I know I can rely on her completely. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and I always feel comfortable and stress-free knowing my cat is in such good hands. It's such a relief to have someone I can count on! If you're looking for a responsible, loving, and reliable cat sitter, she is the one. It’s rare to find someone who brings so much care and professionalism to what they do. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing pet care — you and your pet will be lucky to have her!”

17. John C.

“Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!”


18. Szu-Yao L.
“My dog is a 12-year-old senior who requires a lot of care. Dora is an amazing dog sitter—she has provided my dog Kiwi with so much love and attention. She even cooks fresh meals for him. When I’m not home and she comes over to work, she also helps clean up any messes Kiwi makes on the floor. She is truly a dog sitter I highly recommend.”
