“Anais did a fantastic job with our cat! She immediately responded to my request and set up a meet and greet. She was punctual and responsive. She took care of all the care for Coco and brought in our mail too! She kept us updated with pictures and feedback. She even notified us of a gas smell in the house. I could see from the pictures and our return home that our cat was well cared for. We will ask Anais back anytime to care for our cat. She’s a gem!!”
About: I have been my dog’s main care taker for the 7 years we’ve had her. Also, my aunt regularly fosters cats of all ages and i’ve been helping her care for them since she started. I have lots of experience caring for animals of all ages and abilities! I’m currently working part time and my school schedule is pretty light so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and give them all the attention they need! I live in an apartment with my very friendly yorkie, Chloe. The neighborhood i’m in is surrounded by parks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and time outside.
“Emily was very easy to work with, kind and sweet. She came 2x a day as scheduled and provided photo updates (which we really loved, as it was our first time leaving our cats). She won over our more shy cat almost immediately, which is a bonus!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and other furry friends my entire life. I’m a social work graduate student who loves working with both people and their animals! I’m even a licensed EMT, so you can be sure I’m dependable and great under stress! I currently work full time but will be taking time off before starting graduate school in August, during which time I will be fully available. I do not host animals in my home since I have two cats of my own, but I am dependable and responsible with pets and other peoples’ homes.
“Sara was awesome! A true cat whisperer. One of my cats is very shy and scared and Sara made sure to make sure she was safe, pet and even got treats. She played with all 3 and kept us updated with each stay. We will definitely be booking with Sara again.”
“Jennifer took extraordinary care of my beloved cat! She was she was incredibly responsible and responsive to me while I was away traveling. She sent me frequent updates and pictures and gave my little guy so much love! My cat and apartment were in great hands I highly recommend Jennifer and hope to book her again.”
“This was the first time leaving my newly adopted shy (but social) cat for multiple days, but quickly realized Charlotte was I good hands. Eric followed all my detailed directions, provided detailed notes and photos, and worked diligently to make sure she got some socializing every visit (despite being shy) — not an easy feat! He was also very communicative and prompt, and went beyond task expectations.”
“Mike did a fantastic job carrying for my cat! Really appreciate him coming through when my last sitter canceled on me last minute. Was really attentive and carrying and my cat loved him. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Yue was great! Went above and beyond taking care of our cat while we were away. Great communication, very responsive and detailed drop in reports. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve owned several dogs, large labrador and mixed breed smaller dogs, and several cats over the years (currently I have a young cat), so I would love to help you with your pets while I am preparing this summer for my move out of SF and to my new career here in Northern California. I am currently applying to jobs for my professional career post grad while living here for my last month in the city, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My planned move out is end of June 2026. My home is not available for pet boarding or watching, but I live in the Sunset neighborhood and have an e-bike to travel to your homes for your pet’s care.
“Griselda is the sweetest person ever! She did drop ins to feed Mr. Gary and sent me detailed cards and a bunch a photos. I just moved to the city and feel like to have found her. Thanks a ton”
About: I’m experienced caring for older dogs, puppies, dogs with behavioral issues. I’m great with all types of animals for drop ins! Would love to care for yours! I care for pets for friends and family, as well as through service apps all the time. I work from home so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Apartment is very safe with no hazards. No yard but don’t have any pets or small kids at home. Live by dog parks that are well separated.
“Mikele was patient, communicative, and prompt. Even though my dog didn’t warm up, she handled the situation with professionalism and genuine care. I would recommend her as someone who is very reliable and thoughtful.”
“Jessica took very good care of our two cats. I really appreciated that she agreed to vacuum every now and then (to avoid having litter all over the place) and that she was thoughtful about picking a variety of toys to make sure both cats are engaged. She also brushed them. I overall found the place clean and the cats happy when I came back! We had some tech issues so we could not communicate in a timely manner for check-in/out times, photos of the visit etc, which was a bit unfortunate, but Jessica sent a text every day to confirm the visit.”
“Nico went above and beyond and made me feel so at ease leaving my 5 month old kitten while on vacation during the holidays. Nico is extremely communicative and sent thorough updates and adorable photos. Obi loved her visits and was very well taken care of--I look forward to rebooking with her in the future and highly recommend!”
“Robin was incredible with our little pup (and cat)! She left thorough updates for us after each visit and took lots of great pics. Our dog is pretty shy and she was amazing at getting him to be comfortable with her. We’d highly recommend her!!!”

Michelle is great! Did a fantastic job watching over our cat Moza with daily visits while we were away for the longest time we had been away from her. Michelle followed all care instructions great and we received daily updates and pics. Really cared for our cat and went above and beyond in communication and play time. Would highly recommend! Thanks very much!
Leaving another review for Hillary because she has been absolutely amazing and so flexible with our kitties for multiple last minute requests! One of our kitties is on chemo and needs multiple meds, and it’s such a relief to have someone as trustworthy, kind, and careful as Hillary to check on him while we’re away.
Samantha is a true kitten whisperer and Rover pro! At first, we were nervous to leave our brand new kitten for 3 days… but after meeting Samantha, we immediately knew he was in GREAT hands and our nerves were completely settled the entire weekend away. Samantha was easy to book with, had no trouble accessing our building, and quickly picked up on where his food was and any other details she needed. She was incredibly communicative and she sent us many adorable photos and videos each visit and gave us a full intro and recap of the day. She really knocked it out of the park for us and we will be using Samantha again!!!
Last minute, my cat had emergency surgery before a huge work weekend for me. Thankfully, Sue was available to assist. It was easy to trust her with him as she’s been my go-to sitter for a few years. I was so happy she was available because I knew he’d be in great hands during his recovery while I was away. I’m so grateful for her time, help, and support. She’s the best! TYSM, Sue! 💚
