4. Natalie B.
“Natalie did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were out of the country for two weeks. They are extremely shy, and she was patient and creative and successfully drew them out of their shells for playtime and treats. She sent daily rover cards with detailed updates and lots of photos, and followed our instructions to the T. We came home to happy cats and a clean, neat home.”
5. Rebecca C.
“My dog Daisy is a shepherd retriever mix, and is a little bit high maintenance with some anxiety. Samyu has consistently shown patience and love for Daisy, and because of this we know Samyu would be more than capable of dealing with other challenging dogs like Daisy.”
6. Eva H.
“Eva is a pet lover through and through. She has been around dogs and cats her whole life and you can tell in the gentleness as well as the understanding she brings to engagements with furry friends. She is importantly also responsible, detail oriented, and thoughtful.”
7. Gordon P.
“Hiya! Gordon just took care of my dog for 3 nights while we were out of town and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention she received. His manner with my dog was patient, calm, attentive, and always kind. Dax is an energetic Aussie who is frankly a LOT to handle and she clearly had a wonderful and easy time at Gordon's house. He kept her on her exercise schedule, made sure she had her special diet and meds, and did a great job of managing her energy. She was not bouncing off the walls when we got her home and that's a huge credit to him for giving her the attention she demands. I will absolutely ask him to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
8. Jaqueline P.
“Jaqueline is simply amazing. She made sure to follow Milo's complicated feeding instructions and her daily updates with cute photos were such a comfort during a stressful time. When I got back, Milo was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know about the quality of care he received. I wholeheartedly recommend Jaqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

12. Lisa B.
“Lisa was AMAZING!!!! She is so clearly a cat lover and went above and beyond to take care of our two cats. She spent extra time with them each day to make sure they got plenty of love and attention.

18. Hannia L.
“I worked with Hannia when she participated in our youth employment program at Lao Family Community Development, Inc. During her time with us, she successfully completed 100 hours of paid internship. She was placed at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, where she demonstrated great responsibility and initiative. Her duties included organizing and managing interactive activities for children who attended weekly programs at the park. She also took on the responsibility of preparing, loading, and unloading decorations and food for events, and maintained the cleanliness of the park. She cleaned out the trash and other clean up duties. Hannia has an excellent work ethic; she is currently enrolled at San Jose State University and is eager to gain more experience. Her sweet and kind demeanor, along with her ability to connect well with children and her love for animals. She even has a dog of her ow, make her an ideal candidate for pet caregiver.”
