“Matt thank you for all your help. I highly recommend Matt. He was very kind and wonderful with my dogs. I will use no one but Matt from now on.”

“Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!”

About: I co-owned two dogs with my neighbor as a child. My jobs was to walk and feed them. The first was a Saint Bernard who "decided" he wanted more space and fresh air and moved to the country. Later came a Golden lab. Then, we had milking goats, chickens, emus and rabbits... I have 2 cats I love dearly. They love walking around the yard showing me their favorite finds; usually it's a whole of some kind. I walk a lot on my own a Marin and can talk your furry well-behaved pet around your neighborhood and beyond. I am very dependable, always on time (unless major accident happens) and love all furry friends like my own pets. Available most days and/or week-ends between 8 AM and 9 PM for in home visits or dog or cat walking. Some cats like to go on walks too! Safety and the good physical and emotional health of your pet(s) are my priority. I will follow your health guidelines carefully and provide clean water upon each visit.

“Ariela was so great! She had great communication and was a perfect companion for Mimi. Our dog is very particular when first meeting people and takes some time to warm up. Ariela definitely understood the assignment and with her patience, we could tell that Mimi felt comfortable with her after a solid day. We will definitely ask Ariela to watch Mimi again.”

About: Sri Sharie is a long time animal lover, enthusiastic about the beauty that our animals share with us. I do some training, and I am an animal communicator 🙂🧚 I also delight in sharing timeless wisdom, natural remedies, and endless enthusiasm for all the animals... All creatures great and small. Holistic Health Professional for over 35 years, a Magical Genius in the Gene Keys system - my conscientious care and versatile tool kit are on offer throughout the Bay Area I am semi-retired from my professional practice as teacher of healing arts, and individual and couples therapist. I have a lot of experience with service animals. I love to connect the dots in terms of the stresses that we are experiencing in our own bodies and then how our animals respond, and sometimes they carry our burdens. I love to support clearing and balancing for everybody's health! Since my journey in the last decade, which I call my radical sabbatical, I am ever grateful to be connecting differently with people rather than simply as a therapist. We are all in this together, and love abounds! I grew up with dogs, and more dogs. We had German shepherds and a Mastiff when I was very young, later my mother raised Border Collies, and my sister raised Jack Russells. I do love to help train dogs when they need it, it is ever so important, and help the owners get in the best groove with their relationship to their precious companions... My mother also had a Maine Coon cat and a small dog that were best friends and I have to say this is my favorite thing ever... In the '70s I hitchhiked across the country with a kitten tucked in my parka...

“David took such good care of our pup. He was a great communicator, responsive and send cute pics from walks with our dog. Will definitely recommend and hire again.”

About: Hi there, I’m Chris! I’ve had some kind of pet in my life ever since I was little, from cats to dogs to aquatic acquaintances! I currently have two cats that bring me so much happiness. I’ve been my friend’s and family’s go to pet sitter for many years due to my obvious love of pets and animals. I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs and of all ages, as well as mixed species pet families. I establish bonds with the animals I care for which can sometimes make it hard to say goodbye. I adore puppies due to their excitable nature and high energy! Cats have a special place in my heart because of the memories I share with the cats I’ve had but if you were to ask me if I was a cat or dog person; I’d say, “Why can’t you be both?” LGBTQIA+ friendly I graduated from college with a degree in anthropology and am now back in my hometown working a part-time contract job. My work schedule is very flexible so with enough time’s notice I can work any request into it. I am typically free to feed and walk pets in the morning and evening, as typical schedules go. Please let me know if there are any special requests or needs for your animal! I understand the importance of an animals happiness and mental state. I am very much used to taking care of pets in other’s houses and will follow the rules of the house perfectly. I have house sat in Kosher households before so I am familiar with the importance of following set rules. I am okay with pets that sleep on the bed with the owner or having to crate up a pet for the night. I am a private person and often keep to myself; I don’t cause a ruckus! I keep things nice and tidy just like the saying goes, “a place for everything and an everything in its place.”

“This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.”

“Ari was absolutely amazing watching our two Goldens! He walked them every day, sent us text updates and pictures of the boys, and was very communicative. Ari also left our house spotless! I would highly recommend, and we will be requesting his services again! Thank you Ari!”

“Pat stayed with our 2 kitties for a long weekend and we could not have been happier with her service. We have a huge book of instructions both for our cats (with rather complicated feedings, meds and various foods etc...), and for the house itself. She was glad to have the guidebook and managed to have a very relaxing time. The cats warmed up to her more than any other sitter we've had in the recent past. When we returned home the house was just as we left it and our kitties were totally relaxed. We will definitely be looking to hire her again!”

About: For over 20 years I have cared for dogs for friends, family, and lately through TrustedHousesitters. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise and best care needed, so you can relax and enjoy your time away from home. I only work part-time and I am close to retirement, so I'm in a position to easily adjust my schedule to meet your housesitting needs. Your pet's safety and well-being is my top priority. I am a very responsible and dependable person and I will give you frequent updates with text messages or otherwise to give you peace of mind while you are away from your pet(s).

“I recently had Madison house sit and pet sit for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took wonderful care of my cat, playing with him multiple times a day and regularly sending pictures so I always knew how he was doing. It's clear she genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, just as I had left him. Madison was also incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Any time I had a question, she replied quickly and put my mind at ease. She also left the house in great shape, which I really appreciated. Leaving your pet with someone new can be a worrisome experience, but I never felt anxious once with Madison. I was completely at ease knowing my cat and home were in such capable, caring hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and I will absolutely be hiring her again without hesitation.”

“This is our 2nd time booking with Amber to house sit and take care of our dog and she was great! Sent us pictures of our baby, showed up on time, spent quality time with Fofinha and even helped out with washing the sheets for our next visitor. We will continue booking with Amber in the near future!!!”

“Brady was the BEST with Coconut!!! Coconut is a high energy dog. Brady took amazing care of him. Took him on a bunch of walks and played endless fetch. He was also SUPER responsive to me. House looks great and was so nice to have him stay. Looking forward to my next vacation and definitely booking Brady for Coconut! :) Couldn’t recommend him enough!”

“Jodi always spends so much time with the fur kids and does a great job every time. We love the communication and feel she takes such great care of the fur kids but also the house. She pays attention to our requests and is such a joy to have sit for us!”

“Lauren was very caring for Luna and I recommend Lauren to watch your pet.”

“Jodi took wonderful care of our three dogs while we were away on vacation! We came home to a sparkling clean house and happy pups. We have one particularly difficult dog who does not accept strangers easily; however, Jodi won his heart over very quickly and had no challenges with him or the others. Jodi kept us up to date with pictures and information on our dogs, which helped put us at ease and enabled us to fully enjoy our time away from home. I highly recommend Jodi and feel very fortunate to have found her.”

“Ryan house sat and watched our two dogs for the first time. He took great care of the dogs and house. It was nice to come home to happy dogs! Will use him again!”

About: I’ve cared for my family friends' dogs while they were away, which helped me understand the importance of building trust with both pets and owners. I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.

“Satchel is a kind and calming presence for all 3 critters. He also walked them regularly. He asked important questions and was great about our requests regarding medications, etc. We appreciate his patience very much. Would love recommending him to others and would be happy to have him again.”
