“Ka Ying was able to take care of Kuma and Jiji on incredible short notice. We didn't get to meet in person but she was able to understand what care that our two black cats needed. She is definitely someone worth booking and we trust her with our pets.”

“This is the second time that Lisa takes care of my cat while I travel. During my trip, I felt a lot more secure knowing that Lisa was looking for my cat as I already had a previous experience with her. She sends pictures from each visit and a small summary, which are very helpful!”

“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.”

“Kaitlin has been checking in on Ruffles for the past two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she’s provided so far. From the very beginning, she impressed me by taking detailed notes on everything we mentioned at the Meet & Greet. Her attentiveness immediately made me feel confident and reassured that Ruffles would be in good hands. During each visit, she goes above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures and videos, so I always know how he’s doing and how the visit went. It’s clear from the updates that Ruffles absolutely adores her, which gives me even more peace of mind. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone!”

About: What sets mI have experience in training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors.

My commitment to tailoring my services to each pet's unique requirements, along with my genuine love for animals, makes me a standout choice for pet owners seeking a caring and knowledgeable sitter. I have time to walk the dogs every week from 9am-12:30pm except for Mondays. I'll be in the Bay Area this Thanksgiving and Christmas that isn't coming, and boarding is open now! my care for pets would depend on the service I offer.

“Amara is the best! She is everything one would want in a dogsitter - responsive, responsible, thoughtful, considerate, and most of all, caring and attentive to my high maintenance beagle with separation anxiety. Will definitely book with Amara again!”

“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!”

“Courtney took calked our our little 20 lbs doggie while I was away and and also did some play time with him! Communication was great and I was so relieved to see how happy he was with her. It was our first time with Courtneys help but we will definitely book with her again!”

“Minghao and Yuchen have taken care of our cat before. This was a longer trip away and we fully trusted that everything would go smoothly, which it did. Thank you as always!”
