“I am so pleased at the care and attention Emily gave to my Emilio. She was available late notice and I can tell from the pics that he was smitten with his new sitter ❤️🐾🙏🏻.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Kim was AMAZING with Sage and is a very observant and professional dog sitter! Any pup would be in good hands with Kim. She offered to do leash training and walk her around the backyard and even noticed Sage had no toys in her kennel and offered to put one in there to keep her occupied. Thanks for your quality work!!”

“10/10! Allie was everything we wanted and more! Our pups warmed right up and really enjoyed her company. Very thorough with details and easy communication. We will definitely schedule with her again in the future when needed. Highly Recommend!!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life! My mother was a dog breeder, meaning I have experience with puppies! I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a dog in the house growing up, wasn’t till recently that I haven’t had a pet in the home. I’m a single mom to an animal loving 3 year old, who would be my little helper. I currently work in the medical field meaning I’m comfortable administering all kind of medications, whether that be topical, oral, or injectable medications. I have done pet sitting in the past, I have taken care of many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, horses, livestock, you name it I’ve probably taken care of it! I currently work full time, but I am home on evening and weekends, so I’m home starting Friday night to Sunday night to take your pup out as often as possible. During the week I am gone typically 12-14 hours a day, but if your pup is use to that I can make it work to let them out in the morning and then rush back to let them out once I’m home. I live in a duplex with a small fence in area that I can do quick potty breaks and then live close to walking trails for longer outside times. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves to play with animals. I also love close to parks that I can take dogs to if owner is comfortable with me transporting them. I also live close to my sister who has an active dog who loves friends to play with so that is an option if you have a high energy dog that likes friends.
“Carolyn is very attentive to my pet and has done a great job with drop ins, especially since my pet was 2 days list op from being neutered and not feeling his best self. I appreciate how caring she is and attentive to his needs.”

“Shianne is a lovely pet sitter. She did drop in care for my cats Finney and Olive and asked all the right questions. Having just moved into my place the cats were a bit aloof and standoffish and still getting used to their surroundings but eventually warmed up to Shianne and even let her pet them. I will definitely utilize her pet sitting services again soon.”

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and bearded dragons, I am excited to make my list of animals longer! I've been pet sitting for my friends and family since I was in middle school and have had experience raising my own pets. During these experiences I have pet sat for young puppies, senior dogs and cats, and dogs with medical issues. Unlike some other sitters, I work night shift so I am available virtually anytime in the AM! I work night shift currently and I am willing to make anything in the AM work. I work 11pm-7am so anything before 11pm and after 7am is perfect. When staying in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same care and respect as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to house rules—and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m attentive to details, quick to notice if something seems off with a pet’s behavior, and always prioritize their well-being. You can trust that your pet (and your home) are in responsible, caring hands.
“Amy was so great! She came and did a home visit to meet our dogs a few days before and showed up on time and spent lots of time with them even with just a drop in visit. We are looking forward to booking Amy again and have peace of mind knowing we have her to rely on for any future trips. Thank you Amy!”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve truly seen it all — from playful puppies to senior cats needing a gentle touch and daily insulin shots. I’ve cared for my own pets and helped others with everything from regular walks and playtime to following detailed feeding and medication routines. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs extra exercise or a cuddly cat who just wants company on the couch, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I work full-time in a salaried position, which gives me flexibility during the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule when needed for walks or drop-ins, and I’m always available on nights and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to unwind and bring balance to my day! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite toys. I take time to build trust, give plenty of love and attention, and keep things tidy so you come home to happy pets and a clean space. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family is well cared for while you’re away.
About: I couldn’t imagine a home without a furry pet. My family has always had dogs and cats. I’ve worked with dogs ands cats of all age sizes and ages. & I’m looking forward to showing your beloved animal some love. I am currently in school full-time. I have availability Monday through Friday morning. I am fully available on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have class from 1pm-5pm on Monday and Wednesday. We make sure walk to our dog multiple times a day and play time throughout the day. Our cat is in an indoor cat with plenty of toys and people to play with.
“Francisca was awesome! She took care of my cats, one who needs medication and did a great job. She gave lots of cuddles and I loved that she sent pictures. Great communicator. Gives you a good visit update and let’s you know when she’s coming over, which is nice so you don’t have to worry when you’re out of town.”

“Kevin was great with Ripley and Rambo! He communicated well, was very prompt, and was very helpful while I was traveling for work! Our dog Rambo is very shy and distrustful of strangers but we could tell he was getting more comfortable with Kevin with each passing day. Ripley loved getting attention from the start! We’ll definitely be using Kevin’s services again in the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and other animals for 10 years (since I was 8) I’ve worked with all different breeds sizes and ages as well as worked with dogs with special care needs I’m experienced in training puppies as well as training dogs of any age I’ve done anything from sit and stay to a fully task trained service dogs my family relies on me to feed walk bathe and even train their pets when they are away or just need the extra help this is my passion and I can’t imagine doing anything else than working with animals I’m currently a university student working toward my undergraduate degree, and since I don’t have another job, I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I have a fenced yard, two dog-friendly cats, and plenty of space to accommodate any needs your furry friends may have. I live in a calm, quiet environment — it’s usually just me, my cats, and one other person at home during the day. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s going for walks or playing in the yard.
About: I currently have two big dogs, one is elderly, and one is reactive. They both are my whole world. I have watched many animals over the years, and I have loved them as though they are my own every time. I have walked them, played with them, fed them specific special diets, gave them prescribed medications, bathed them, and have done anything and everything that would be needed to best support and love them. As I would for your little family members. My dream job has always been working with animals. So no matter the animal, I would gladly love to help. I’m currently working part-time, and will have plenty of time to hang out with the babies. I have my own car. So getting back and forth from work to be with your babies won’t be a problem. I will make sure to support your babies in any way you need. I follow directions well. I like to go over any and all expectations that the owner may have.

“Olivia took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She is a very kind, responsible person who seems to genuinely care about and love animals. She gave my very needy cat a lot of love and great care while I was gone, and I would definitely, definitely recommend her!!”
