1. Daria S.

“Daria was great! We came back to a couple of very happy pets. She was great at communicating through our trip, and sent great photos and videos.”


2. Korin M.

“We are so grateful to Korin for watching out little guy. Our dog is a rescue and can be really shy around new people. Korin handled him like a pro and even got him playing and enjoying pets! We will definitely keep Korin in mind for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


3. Tina Y.

“Took such good care of my little ones and sent wonderful updates. Thank you so much!”


4. Anais D.

“Anais took excellent care of our pets and home while we were away for the weekend. Our dog can be a little finicky and needs a lot of company, but Anais was enthusiastic about getting to know his routine and we arrived home to find relaxed animals and the house just like we left it (she even washed her sheets - really not necessary!). Thanks Anais!”


5. Victoria C.

“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”


6. Tiana P.
“Tiana was great with our dogs and it was such a relief to know they were in capable and loving hands. We have an anxious pittie, and Tiana was wonderful with him. We would definitely book her again!”


7. Shannon S.

“Shannon was punctual and appeared to have followed all of our very specific directions for our pets. We are very appreciative of her caring for our babies. Our dogs loved her.”


8. Kerri C.

“Kerri was so great with my cat and dog. She sent constant updates and my dog was exhausted when I returned which means she exercised her a lot! Will definitely be re-booking in the future.”


9. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa is great! Jumped right in and was up to the challenge of caring for our puppy (house training, teething, mega energy, etc!)… She was super communicative, providing updates throughout our time away, and left our house spotless. We’re excited to work with Alyssa again, and highly recommend her for excellent, thorough care of your beloved pet(s)!”


10. Diana L.


“Diana arrived early which ended up being a blessing as we got ready to go! She did an incredible job as our dog was a bit standoffish at first. Diana quickly built a strong and trusting relationship with our pup and was very patient! Would definitely love to connect her with our dog again!”


11. Leo S.

“Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!”


12. Nia G.

“Nia was incredibly professional, caring, polite and genuinely cares about animals and people. I would trust her implicitly with housesitting or pet sitting! Nia is a gem.”


13. Mary B.
“Mary is my go-to dog sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for every pup as if they were her own. I ended up adopting a dog she had been fostering for six months—a sweet boy who is blind and has diabetes. Mary was incredible in helping me navigate how to care for a special needs dog, offering guidance and support every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough—she is truly wonderful!”


14. Eva E.

“Eva came through for us last minute and gave our large dogs the attention and walks that they need. She has a great positive energy and handled the booking with independence while we were away, but still responded promptly to messages when we wanted to check in. I'll be rebooking when the her in the future!”


15. Dane E. C.

“Dane was phenomenal with my dog and cat. He was patient, thorough and an excellent communicator. He gave my dog lots of walks. Would highly recommend!”




16. Kye O.

“Kye was great! Went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable before leaving Romeo with an in-person pre-meeting. Not only was I updated throughout the trip with cute photos and videos, my home was cared for and left in the same manner it was in before my trip. Thanks for great communication and care for Romeo!”


17. Mary L.
“Mary has been a dog lover all of her life. She has vast experience both fostering dogs in her home and pet sitting dogs and cats in someone else's home. After her own dog passed away she connected with Brother Wolf Animal Shelter in Asheville, NC and fostered several dogs and all of them found forever homes. I have seen her provide such loving and responsible care for these dogs as if they were her own. Several came to her terrified, withdrawn, and traumatized and with her love and care they blossomed into calm social pets. She comes highly recommended.”


18. Juliana & Katherine Q.
About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. I do long walks in the morning and afternoon and, if staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do 30-45 minute adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life! I’ve always had a pet and they’ve ranged from chickens to spiders. I started pet sitting when I was 16 and am currently working at a dog daycare/boarding place and am a dog handler that will love and care for your pups no matter age or size! :))<3 Apart from being a student (on break) I’m also working part-time at a dog daycare on the weekends so during the week I’m usually free! When pups are in my care it’s my priority to help them feel safe and comfortable at home no matter how tedious or time consuming it will be!<33
