“I was looking for a sitter on a short notice and I feel very lucky to have found a sitter like Anita. Anita was open to meeting on short notice and made me feel secure in leaving my pet with her. She sent lots of photos, followed all of my requests and somehow managed to get my shy cat to come out and show some love. Highly reccomended this sitter if you're looking for a reliable and caring friend for your pet while you're away.”
“I truly could not recommend Christina enough. I had an absolutely fantastic experience with her watching my dog and on extremely short notice. She was immediately responsive and made the whole process soo smooth during a tough time for me. Even with limited preparation, she showed incredible care for my dog, going above and beyond what was required to make sure she was being adequately cared for. Also, her communication was amazing throughout my trip, knowing my pup was in such loving hands gave me a HUGE sense of relief. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone I know.”
“Natalie was so amazing with our two kitties! :) We are slightly anxious leaving our kitties when we need to go out of town, but she is both meticulous in taking care of their food etc. and very playful when it comes to getting their energy out and playing with them!”
“Alex was so incredibly flexible and was able to extend our booking for an extra day to accommodate my travel plans, no questions asked. The process was seamless and it was such a relief knowing my kitties were well taken care of despite the schedule changing. Don’t know what I would have done without her!!”

“Vanessa was wonderful from start to finish. Followed all my instructions, was timely, and even got my super shy cat out and interacting within a few days. Highly highly recommend.”

Whether it's a quick drop-in, a long walk, or just some company, l'll treat your dog like family. Flexible scheduling, clear communication, and happy tails guaranteed. I’m working part time and can take care of pets in the evenings, weekends, and Monday's and Friday's most days! So let me work for you and find times to relieve you! I always have the pets best interest in mind. Weather it’s waking through the park, giving them treats, or making sure they go potty when I see the signs!
“Lin Jia was so easy to work with, flexible with some mishaps on my part even though I was across the ocean, and so sweet to our shy foster kitties - they warmed up to her faster than anyone!”
“Regina is amazing with our zoo. We have three larger dogs that each have different preferences for play. She makes sure all three get the attention they need and have some good play time. She even started helping us train one of the dogs to file her own nails! Regina also does walks with the dogs and they are always so excited to see her and have a great time. She is thoughtful, reliable, a great communicator, kind, and patient! I would definitely recommend Regina for any of your pet care needs!”
About: Hello! I am an experienced pet sitter and specialize in caring for shy, anxious, and reactive cats and dogs. I use positive reinforcement and patience to give animals the time and space that they need to warm up and feel safe. I’m experienced with giving medication to animals. I always schedule time to meet you and your pet before I take care of them. I want to fully understand their routine and any triggers as well as things that bring them joy. Currently pet sitting and dog walking full time. I have the time and flexibility to devote to your pet. Additionally, I have a car and can take them to their favorite nature trail! I believe pet owners know their animals best. I want to know all about your pet’s needs, your preferences, and any safety issues to keep your pet safe and happy. I’ll update you on any behavioral changes or issues I notice so we can collaborate on how best to care for your cat or dog while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of huskies since I was a kid. My family adores them despite their stubborn attitude. I love getting to know the personality of their furbabies and adore getting to know their habits and needs. I value the needs of pets to a strong degree and I enjoy giving pets baths despite the chaos. I have worked with senior dogs with arthritis and puppies with biting habits and have helped potty trained puppies. I have also whelped dogs for a family friend who didn’t know they were going to have puppies. My daily/weekly routine is generally flexible during the afternoons, on weekends I am almost always free when given in advanced. Since it is summer— I am free! I am a very clean person, I grew up with dogs and understand the insanely clean home that must be kept when owning these lovable beings. I tend to make home made meals for my dogs if not kibble with raw food but I am also very open to meeting the preferred standards of the owners of said dogs. I’m a very private person and do respect the aspect of not digging into peoples lives and homes, I just want to be able to help care for a fur baby so they can live their life happily.
About: I have 10+ years of pet and house sitting experience. I am a lover of all pets, whether they are cuddly or more of the silent observer type. Lots of availability and range of coverage location, so I am here to support you with your needs in watching your fur baby! I am a graduate nursing student who has a lot of free time during the week and weekends, as I only have class certain days of the week. I find myself with not much to do on my free days and would love to use this time to support pet owners while they are away from home. I am very attune to the pet’s routine and try to stick to this as much as possible, as I know they are missing their routine with their owners so much already. I love to spend quality time with the pets that I am watching, whether this involves taking them on long walks, visits to the dog park, or providing many pets. For house sitting, I am a thoughtful guest who keeps spaces clean and respects the client’s home. In the past, I usually bring my own meal-prepped food so that cooking in the home is not necessary other than to heat items up.
About: I have grown up around dogs and now have one of my own. I know that no two dogs are the same and having a reactive dog myself, I am very well-aware of dog behavior and body language. I have been called "my dog's favorite person" by several friends. I am excited to get to know your dog and meet their needs whether it's sniffing, playing, or a long brisk walk! I live and work in San Francisco and have some flexibility with my work schedule. I am happy to work with you to make my schedule work for you and your pup. I have a fenced in yard near Golden Gate Park (our second backyard) and a playful dog of my own. I am sure to never be away from the house for too long and can set up your dog in a crate, let them roam free, or give them access to certain spaces in the house using gates.
About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.
About: I am a certified dog trainer specializing in puppies, obedience, confidence building and positive reinforcement training. I have been working dogs for the past four years as well as raising numerous dogs from doodles to Malinois’. I’ve volunteered at shelters, assisted group class, conduct private sessions, board & trains, reverse board & trains, day care, worked with known trainers around the valley, and now am branching out to boarding, sitting, and walking! I believe in setting dogs up for success, so let me help you take care of your pup. I work from home and I have an open and flexible schedule to suit all needs. My daily routine consists of caring for my personal dog, Phoenix, who needs to be worked multiple times a day as he is a Malinois. I am no stranger to the care and needs of dogs, my life basically revolves around them. I care for and train my own dog daily and he loves to work and having friends. I frequent the park daily and also have a large fenced backyard. In a clients home I respect their space and their needs depending on what they request for their pet(s).
