“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”

“Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.”

“We have used Elena twice now, each time for 10 days drop-ins to primarily feed our dogs. She communicates well and very reliable. I feel at ease when we were away that our fur babies have been fed. Highly recommend Elena!”
“Tisha was superb! She was scheduled drop-in services twice a day, primarily to feed our fur babies. We appreciate her great communication and daily pics requested. During our meet and greet, she asked if there was anything else she could. She went above our expectations. We highly recommend Tisha and will definitely use her again.”
About: 30 + years caring and training exotic and domestic animals in a professional setting. I am recently retired so I have flexibility in my day to visit your pets and take them for walks while you are busy at work. I understand the pressure of work life and trying to care for your pet. I will always have safety front of mind and never allow other dogs to interact with your dog unless they are showing good behavior. I can take care of cats, dogs , birds or other exotics. I will treat your pets as my own and give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are well cared for. I am mostly available in the mornings and early afternoons but will work with each client depending on their needs. I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients so please contact me to set that up so I can meet you and your pet. I am experienced in animal health care and can respond to any emergency that may come up while I am responsible for your pet. I will take photos when we are out and about and send them to you so you know I was with your pet.
“Demi did a wonderful job of watching my two cats while I was away for the weekend. When I got home, I could tell they had been well cared for, and I really appreciated the pictures she uploaded. Thank you Demi!”

“Kim is a wonderful cat sitter - thoughtful and very thorough with her updates for both your pet and any mail/plant care. Thank you Kim for dropping in our shy Stormy girl! We hope to see you again soon!”

“Supriya did fantastic. We have total peace in mind knowing she was there and everything was well taken care of. Thanks for checking everything like his litter box, food, health, etc. We appreciate you looking after our little angel baby and sending us the most adorable photos. We will definitely be in contact again for future trips!!!”

About: I use to work at a pet hotel, and loved ensuring that the pets got what they deserved, care and attention. Not every pets the same, I helped shy ones get a bit more comfortable in the chaos that is playing with other dogs. I’ve provided necessary meds and ensured pet environments stayed cleanly. If I’m not willing to play around it it’s not done. Have great experience with dogs and cats. I’m open mostly to Monday through Friday: 8am to 6PM. Can be flexible later as one offs, nights are extra. Unfortunately not offering weekends at this time. Providing companionship to your furbabys while you’re out. Giving them lots of cuddles, attention, feeding, and definitely a few walks depending on dog breed and mobility. Meds need to be discussed.
“Dani was amazing with our cats. She sent daily updates with details and many pictures which we found really helpful. We absolutely would work with Dani again for our future trips.”

“This was my first time with Shiji and he was absolutely amazing, following each and every instruction and checking in with me when my cats refused to eat, went above and beyond to take care of other things kike checking litter, changing water and even playing! I trust them with my cats and my cars trust them as well”


About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”

“Dean was available to watch my goldendoodle d’Auggie with very little notice. Both d’Auggie and I were very happy, d’Auggie especially so. Dean is not only extremely attentive and sensitive to d’Auggie’s needs, he’s also prompt, extremely neat and considerate. Dean’s been watching d’Auggie for years now, well before Dean joined Rover, and the trust that I have in him was earned through his attentiveness, dependability, precision, care, and obvious affection for d’Auggie and general love of animals. I’ve hired Dean in the past not only to walk d’Auggie and his brother, but he’s always the first person I turn to for boarding. Always 5 stars!”


About: I have two dogs and two cats. I’ve done dog walking since early middle school and pet sitting for two years. I love animals and have for a long time. I’ll bring treats and spoil your furry friends! Walks, cuddles and playtime are my specialty! I just finished my semester of school and am pretty free for the summer! I love excuses to go out of the house and go on walk adventures with dogs or cuddles with your cat (or walk them if they like walks too!) For walks I like to double leash just for added security and safety with dogs. I can swing by during set times you want me to be there, give food and play or go on walks. If you want me to house and pet sit I will bring my own stuff to keep myself entertained and maybe a few treats to share with your furry friends.
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by cows, goats, chickens, cats, and dogs. This evoked in me a deep passion for animals, but especially dogs. My current occupation is nannying and I have been doing so for 10 years. I have also worked as a petsitter when the occasion arises. I love both of these jobs and this is the reason for deciding to sign up for this app. The way that I would describe myself is: responsible, caring, calm, sensitive, trustworthy, and reliable. I can easily create a connection with children and dogs alike, which makes them more comfortable spending their time with me. I feel comfortable sitting dogs of all sizes. I will genuinely love your pet and will always make sure to respond to his/her needs. Thank you for reading! Caring for pets is something I naturally build into my day. I make time for regular walks, feeding, play, and attention, and I enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, play, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and follow all instructions carefully. I also communicate consistently with updates, photos, and any important observations.
About: I’m a dedicated and reliable dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for pets for friends and family. I’ve also been a proud dog owner myself for the past 5+ years, raising my own small chihuahua-terrier mix, which has given me hands-on experience with the unique needs and personalities of smaller breeds. I specialize in caring for small dogs and understand how important it is to provide them with a safe, calm, and loving environment. I’m known for being attentive, patient, and highly responsible—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, or just making sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priority, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. ✈️ Only 20 mins away from OAK airport 🐾 Another furry friend to keep your fur baby company 🏠 Fenced yard and plenty of room to run around I am full time hybrid worker with a flexible schedule, so I am able to do drop in visits during the day or even walks in the early morning!

We had a great experience with Wenyuan taking care of our cat Lucy while we were on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Lucy comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Lucy was relaxed and well cared for when we got home, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Erin is simply amazing and I 100% recommend her! Erin has cared for my fur babies twice over the last year while I’m on vacation. She is very reliable, cares for animals and makes you feel completely rest assured that your fur babies are safe and well cared for. I completely trust her. She took very good care of my animals. I’d give a 10 star rating if that option was available! She is the best! 😊

Mila is very sweet, punctual, and flexible to work with. My cats went straight to her during our meet-and-greet, which I had never seen them do with a stranger before. She is a great communicator and took tons of pictures and videos during her visits. My older cat has a history of UTIs, and my other cat occasionally has loose stools, so Mila carefully reported the quality of their pee and poop in the litter box each time. When the weather was warm, she made sure the temperature in the house was comfortable. She has great attention to detail, and my cats love her! Highly recommended!

Excellent, highly recommended. We have just returned home and found our cats to be well taken care of by Myat. She was very detailed, thorough in her communication and followed all the instructions during her drop in visits. We have 3 cats and one of them has anxiety issues and leading to accidents. No issues indicating they bonded well with Myat. Definitely asking for her services next time.
