“We had Kate take care of our kitties recently and she did a great job! Her communication is fantastic, and she's very responsive, which is what you want in a pet sitter. She followed our instructions and didn't hesitate to reach out if there was a question (another good trait for a pet sitter). We plan on using her services again, and you should too!”
“Kristina was awesome! She watched my cat Tikka for me on a very last minute request and sent me updates every day! Definitely recommend, all of her animals were super cute and sweet and Tikka came home happy and with new friends!”
“We are very happy to have found Ember! Our kitties were in good hands, and even our most shy girl felt comfortable coming out to say hi. She followed all instructions perfectly, and was on time. We will definitely ask her to come take care of our girls again! Thanks Ember!!”
About: I have always been an animal lover since childhood and have taken care of a variety of pets of all sizes! I've helped raise puppies, taken care of senior dogs, and helped train good walking, bathing, and bathroom habits. Most animals respond very well to me. Also being a bigger person I have no trouble dealing with larger dogs. Very experienced in all areas of pet care. I am at home this summer until my college classes start in the fall to continue my degree in early childhood education. Weekends or evenings are not a problem for house sitting. Drop by mid-day walks anytime I'm available! I have a lot of availability and would love to spend my time with animals giving them quality care and attention. I am more than happy to watch your pets while you are away on vacation or gone for the day. I Can do drop bys or overnights depending on your preference and your animals needs. I have a large fenced yard that is great for animals if you need boarding. I have reliable transportation to get to and from. I can take them on walks in your neighborhood or go to a local dog park if you prefer. Very open to working with what is best for your animal. I have my own dogs at home but will leave them there while caring for your animal(s) unless you would like the socializing. We have two friendly larger male dogs that love to meet new dogs if you are interested in doggy day care or boarding. Our home has a large size dog door for pets to access the house at their convenience.
“Annalee is the best sitter. She’s attentive to JZ’s needs and is very thorough in keeping us informed regarding her daily care. She’s definitely going to be at the top of our list of sitters. Thank you Annalee.”
“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”
“Maria did such a great job taking care of my two cats. I give them lots of attention, and I know they got plenty of love while I was gone. Everything was perfect when I came back, and I already have her booked for another trip!”
About: I have been a dog and cat parent my whole life. I have been an animal lover my whole life. I will love your pets like they are my own. I'm available 24/7 for all your pets needs, including picking up and walking your dog or taking them to the dog park or boarding and also can do home animal visits. I have a large fenced in yard and big house. I Also I have a 6 year old Lab, Shadow and who loves dogs and cats and would enjoy there company. We also have kitties in our family.
About: I am a pharmacist, graduate of UCSF where I got my doctorate and UCLA. I recreationally board friends animals and would like to help others I work 4/7 days a week, so boarding can be worked around my schedule where I’m free afternoons and evenings and all day on days off. I need up to a 2 week notice for boarding or visits Fenced yard, outside and inside cameras, own my own home in a safe neighborhood and have neighbors and coworkers to help in a pinch anytime
About: Some previous work experience (6 months) with the Sequoia Humane Society where I worked hands on with cats and dogs with various personalities and temperaments. Recent graduate who is currently employed part time (weekends), which gives me plenty of time to play with and watch over your pets during the week! I will always be sure your pets are safe and out of harms way. While I’m with your pet they will not be left unattended.
About: I owned dogs for about ten years and started walking and watching other peoples’ dogs about 6 years ago. I have also walked and fostered dogs through Sequoia Humane Society.I have provided walking, boarding, house sitting, and some cat care. I love taking dogs out on hikes and staying active. I work full time but can provide walks during the mornings before noon on the weekdays. I can provide overnight care and house sitting on weekends. I have a fenced yard at home. We have one friendly dog at home. I am always very careful and considerate when caring for other people’s pets and homes.
“Kylie sat for my cat while I was out of town for a month. That's a long pet sit when many things could go wrong. But they didn't, for the most part. Kylie took good care of my cat and was very respectful of my home. I will use Kylie again.”
About: My family always had dogs growing up so they hold an important place in my heart. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds. I have extensive dogsitting and dog walking experience, having dogsat all through high school and college for different families and needs. Cattle dogs, little dogs, doodles, labs, pits, etc., I have worked with them all. I have a full time job during the weekdays so I want to help care for pets during the weeknights and weekends! A good evening walk to get out energy before bed or any time on the weekends! Unfortunately my cat doesn’t like guests so I would care for your pet in their own home or out on walks. I am a big proponent of boundaries with pets; they know what they like and what they’re comfortable with, so I make sure to be patient, kind, and loving in my communication with them, and do not push them into scenarios they’re uncomfortable with (unless it’s for their safety/health.) Every pet is a friend to me and I’m excited to meet yours.
About: I've always felt proud of my ability to get along with all kinds of creatures. Growing up, I was the kid who would petsit for all my friends' families. Nowadays, I'm the proud mama of a spunky Chihuahua, a beautiful tuxedo kitty, and a quirky bearded dragon. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'd love to have an extra reason to get out of the house. Plus, walking is my favorite way to exercise. Just like us humans, no two dogs or cats are the same. So when it comes to any special needs, I always appreciate having clear directions to follow.
About: I have had cats and dogs for my whole life, and currently have three cats, and a giant breed dog who I have trained since he was a puppy. I care very strongly about the welfare and happiness of pets, and want to take the best care of them possible. I am good at following instructions and I take my responsibilities seriously. I above all want to make sure that people are happy with my services. I have been accepted to a foreign exchange program that has now been deferred to January, as they were unable to find a host family in the country. So until then my schedule is completely free and flexible. I have a great pyrenees akita mix who weighs about 110 pounds, who I trained from a puppy. I also have three cats, plus a family of friendly strays who live in the back yard. I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life and will do a great job of pet sitting and dog walking. I will do all I can to make sure your pets are very happy and follow any special instructions that you may have regarding their care.
“Don’t hesitate to hire Julia! I can’t recommend her enough! She watched my kitten while I was out of town for the weekend. Julia sent lots of photos and videos, and I knew my kitten was in great hands. She also cleaned my apartment, which looked just as I left it upon my return. Julia is highly communicative and is great with animals. I hope to work with her again :)”
