About: I have two cats with very different personalities - one loves pets and one just loves company and that’s okay! I understand each pet has their on personality and I’d take the time to meet them and provide the individual care they need while you’re away. I work full time from home, which makes my days flexible and accessible for pet care! I can easily stop by in the mornings, midday, or evenings to keep your pet company or take them on a walk. I understand some pets are a little more shy than others. That’s why it’s important to approach each pet gently with love. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and gets the attention they need and deserve!

“Sam is great! I had extended work travel, which always makes me nervous with my kitties, but this is the least stressed my cats have seemed after coming back from travel! Sam sent daily thorough updates and was always responsive. Sam clearly took time to play with them and gave them plenty of attention. I will definitely hire Sam again! Thank you!”


About: I have been a dog owner and pet sitter since I was a teenager. I speak dog pretty effectively and always have a lap open for dog cuddles. I am a designer who works from home. I utilize breaks to take dogs out and give my eyes a break from the computer! I also like going on small dog hikes to give the little guys a little extra exercise. I have an apartment with many sun spots for doggie lounging. My little chihuahua mix will keep you furry friend company as they lay in the sun.

“Cody is a fantastic cat sitter! He was very communicative and sent plenty of cute photos of our cats. Highly recommend!”


About: I discovered my love for dogs (relatively) later in life, when my parents adopted a sweet middle-aged mutt when I went to college! Since then, I have adored dogs and in addition to caring for my family dog on school breaks I’ve been petsitting (in my home and others’) for friends and friends of friends over the past few years. I enjoy getting to know the personality of each animal and catering to it, whether that means long walks or long cuddle sessions on the couch. I love all dogs, but due to a bad personal experience with a pit bull, I prefer to work with other breeds. I’m a freelance writer and in between jobs I am at home and available to care for your pet on whatever schedule you prefer. My only recurring conflicts are comedy shows I perform in at night but they rarely go longer than 2 hours. I live in an ADU that is a tiny home so dogs on the smaller side will be more comfortable there. I have room for a crate but sleep in a bunk bed, so if your dog prefers sleeping with a person, a dog I can comfortably lift in and out may be better (I’ve done it before with a Cavapoo). In a client’s home any size of dog is fine, I just want to know the house rules for both me and the dog to follow and if it’s a long sit check out the space beforehand.


About: I am excellent with dogs, perceptive to their needs, very active when walking, and consistently great at training our furry friends. Have taken care of dogs (who are part of our family) for over 40 years, and know the ins- and outs-. I am also experienced in administering any medication, as my fur baby had leukemia for the last year of his life. Also, I have a knack for taking the cutest dog pics and will make sure to keep your mind at ease while I am watching over your fur baby. I work from home as a professor and live a very active lifestyle, including daily walks, weekly hikes, and bike rides, where my very active fur baby (may he rest in power) loved the activity and exploration. I am a huge fan of giving belly rubs to furry friends, as well as having company during my walks and hikes. Your dog will get filtered water, plenty of love and belly rubs, on leash walks & hikes, and on-time and appropriate meals. My home has plenty of comfy resting spots, and a fenced-off, big, backyard where your fur baby can bask in the sun, chase butterflies that visit my garden, enjoy a doggy treat on the deck, and take care of their business.

“Wendy is an exceptional cat sitter! I came back to find my cat, Gaia, looking healthier and happier than ever. Wendy managed to correct Gaia's biting behavior, which had been a long-standing issue. Her excellent communication throughout my trip, along with regular updates and photos, gave me great peace of mind. The house was left spotless and in even better condition than I left it. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone in need of a reliable and effective cat sitter. Thank you, Wendy!”


About: While I was not lucky enough to grow up with dogs, after adopting my first rescue, Charlie, in 2013, I unlocked my undying love for all pups. A year after adopting Charlie, I adopted Dennis, another rescue, and they are the loves of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs, and experience with anxious and/or fearful dogs. I have experience administering oral, eye, ear, and topical medication and am excellent at giving belly rubs when the pups asks. I am an artist who maintains a flexible schedule. I'm available for pop-ins and walks throughout the day and can easily accommodate longer visits or overnight needs. I work a few nights a week at a theater and occasionally have meetings or workshops during the day. I have an anxious pup of my own, so I know to meet dogs where they are. I take my time to let them warm up to me and follow their lead until they're comfortable. I'm great with direction and able to accommodate your & your dog's schedule and needs.

Ellen L.
“I booked Ellen on a whim the day of a flight before a 10 day trip due to a cancellation from a different sitter. I've never left my dog with anyone he's not familiar with so I was incredibly nervous doing this, but Ellen did a fantastic job taking care of him!! He's huge (a doberman), takes medication, & has lots of weird quirks about him so he isn't the easiest client but him & Ellen got along wonderfully. I'm so relieved to have another person I can trust with him!”




Kiyomi T.
“Kiyomi is an amazing dogsitter and walker. She is so caring, attentive and loving towards each dog that I have seen her interact with over several years. She has extensive experience caring for dogs at different ages (puppy to seniors) and at different physical capabilities. She has watched my dog who has degenerative spinal disease and she does a stellar job of ensuring that he does not engage in any behaviors that could undermine his spine and agility. She also has many years of experiencing administering medication to dogs. I have observed her being gentle and playful towards dogs but also helping owners with training their dogs on different skills including obedience and also interacting with other dogs. I would highly recommend Kiyomi to anyone who wants the highest quality of care for their pet.”

“Emma has always been so attentive to our dog, Olaf. He loves it when she is around and knows that she will always give him the attention he wants. I highly recommend Emma to spend time with your dog, either walking or watching.”
