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.

Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!

About: Hi! My schedule will be tailored to yours. I am very flexible and willing to do services with little prior heads up. Just message me for whatever you need and I will make it work. Ive taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since i was very young. There has always been some sort of animal in my house hold whether thats a small dog, a big dog, a couple of cats, birds or guinea pigs. My relationship with my animals has always been a mutual respect for each other without any issues in the past with authority which is due to my training and conditioning with my animals. I’ve made my home a safe and loving environment for my animals with their best interests considered first with daily physical and mental stimulation with fun games and walks as well as nutritious diets containing real food. I’d love to get to know your pup and take him or her on long walks. I dont have a very packed schedule so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! Im able to walk or feed your dog before 9 am and at around 12.30 in the afternoon every weekday as well as boarding your pup or kitty at my house or watching your dog overnight at your home every week day except Friday. Weekends I have more flexibility during the day and can watch your companion overnight on saturday and sunday if needed. I am flexible with day of requests for random times and can make those work every now and then. ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I have a fenced back yard and a very friend shiba inu and chow chow mix who is a spayed female dog and is the light of my life and a black outdoor cat. My dog is very friendly with all animals and is very curious of being friends with others and would be a perfect companion for your animal.

About: I’ve cared for cats for over 3 years and absolutely love spending time with all animals, especially dogs. I’m gentle, patient, and reliable, and I follow routines carefully. I enjoy keeping pets happy and active, and I always follow instructions to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like my own and provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease. I’m more than happy to make room in my routine for your pets—they’re a joy to be around, and I’d love to spend my free time caring for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow your routines carefully—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I give pets plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. My goal is to make their time with me feel familiar and stress-free.

Charleston Meadow, Palo Alto, CA, 94306

About: I grew up raising puppies and have spent most of my life around big dogs. I also have experience with larger farm animals. I have 2 years of dog sitting experience since I became a working professional after college and 4 years of dog walking experience on various other apps. I have cared for and helped train puppies and have senior dog experience, including grooming, teeth brushing, nail clipping and more. I work full time but am looking to spend as much time outside of work with pets both for exercise and because I love animals. I am available mornings, evenings and weekends. I am quick to learn about clients homes, very neat and generally help my clients around the house. I think animals are most comfortable in their own environments so I like to stay with them rather than the other way around. If the pet parent has a yard, I make sure to play with the dog in the yard, otherwise I will take the dog on multiple walks through out the day!

Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.

I'm so glad that I left my cats under Sophia's care while we were on vacation. Sophia was so nice and took very good care of my cats. I believe it comes from inside of Sophia that she truly loves animals. She stays longer hours with my cats than what I requested, and actively plays with them. I believe my cats are actually happier with Sophia during our vacation time than when we were home, hahaha... When we came home after three weeks, my cats look very healthy and very happy and relaxed. Sophia also took very good care of my home during our vacation. I can't be happier with Sophia and I highly recommend her to everyone that needs pet care.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am a trained Veterinary Assistant and SPCA dog trainer, and have experience working with dogs (and other animals) of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I enjoy working with a variety of dogs and owners, helping them both to be better together, flow seamlessly with each other's lifestyle. I have experience handling dogs of all temperaments, and am comfortable with senior pets and special needs. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and safety. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I take my time to connect. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Let me know your needs, and I will work with your schedule. I work part-time and spend the rest of my time walking dogs and with my horse in Portola Valley. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to have company for your pup, for daycare. I have crate if needed and plenty of toys.

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!

Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my two cats for a week and did an amazing job. She’s dependable, resourceful, and clearly loves animals. My cats, who usually hide from strangers, warmed up to her right away. She gave regular updates, and I could tell they were happy and well cared for the whole time. Hannah is reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy.

We hired Lisa to help with 1 diabetic cat + 1 territorial cat on our wedding night. She was amazing - before, during, and after the care. She took care of the accidents that the diabetic cat made and helped empty the litter box drawer. We didn’t have to worry about cleaning after a long wedding day. 100% worth reaching out to her. The communication was smooth and she replies pretty fast! Our diabetic cat seemed to love her in the photo she sent (it’s rare to see her lean against a “stranger”)
