House Sitting in Kensington

“Ana was awesome. I was terrified to leave my dog, Cleo. She made me feel so at ease and kept me posted with lots of updates. I knew she was well taken care of. I will be booking again. Cannot recommend her more highly.”

“Rachael was AMAZING! Your fur babies are in great hands with her. She was extremely attentive to all the special care our senior kitty needed, was quick to reply and easy to get ahold of, and did a fantastic job with all the little extra house tasks while we were away for a few days. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Fuliang was amazing! He responded right away and quickly scheduled a meet & greet. He was prompt, took great care of Hampton, and left our place spotless. We felt comfortable and updated the whole time. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica. Animals have always been a big part of my life from a young age. I have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever named Winnie, and I also regularly foster animals through the Oakland SPCA and the Milo Foundation. Being a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I care for every animal the way I would want my dog cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Can’t wait to meet your best friend <3 I have plenty of time to stop by for a visit, or take your pup on a walk! I live and work in the area. I have a fenced in yard, very friendly puppy who loves to meet other dogs/cats. I prioritize your pets normal routine and want to make sure above all else they are comfortable.

“We had Derek watch our dog and cat for a few days for the first time and he was an excellent sitter! He sent me photos of the pets treated our apartment with care and followed our instructions with taking care of the pets. I will definitely be asking Derek to watch our pets again in the future! Thank you Derek for the amazing care!”

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

“Alexandra did a great job caring for Honey. I appreciated her letting me know how he behaved while I was away and her approach to caring for dogs (following their body language and cues). Looking forward to booking her again.”

Dani S.

“Maria is terrific. She arrived on time and immediately bonded with our dog. She gave him lots of attention and took him for a walk. When we returned home, he was cuddled up against her. She also kept our house neat and clean. I highly recommend her.”

Jack G.

“Honey always loves when he gets Natasia as his sitter. She is a natural with larger dogs and Honey clearly feels at ease around her. It makes me feel so much better about leaving when I see how much he smiles when she greets him hello.”

Dani S.

“Logan is organized, considerate and kind. Percy got comfortable with him very quickly. Logan caught a mistake in our booking and saved us a big scheduling issue. We will definitely be hiring Logan again, he’s a wonderful buddy for Percy”

Roya S.

“Tania did a great job taking care of our senior pup who suffers from separation anxiety and doesn’t like to take her meds. Tania was prompt, easy to communicate with before and during her stay, sent lots of pictures, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I go by V or Valen, they/them pronouns 😊 I have an animal science degree from UC Davis, specializing in captive and companion animals. I’ve interned at both the UC Davis Dairy and Goat Facilities, and worked with a number of other species. My work with animals is rooted in an applied understanding of animal behavior, combined with a knowledge of animal ethics and welfare. As a pet owner of 20+ years with various species, I understand how critical it is to build trust with both owner and pet. This is family we’re talkin’ about! Experience with senior/geriatric/end of life care. Formosan Mountain Dog and general rescue dog experience. Some rodent, bunny, tortoise, and snake experience as well. Experienced with anxious and fear aggressive dogs. If I can teach goats to walk on a leash, I can handle your pups! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, though I prefer bookings in the mornings and early afternoons. I can usually work around any schedule though. During drop ins, I focus on meeting the pet’s needs per the owner’s requests. Then I’ll play and hang out with them, making sure they get lots of love. If they’re anxious, I’ll leave them alone until they feel comfortable to approach me first. I always make sure to check any safety hazards before leaving.

“Keiki and her son Sunny were fabulous. They came over before hand to meet us and our pup, Cinnamon. This helped us and Cinnamon feel at ease. Sunny had a great way with Cinnamon. During our trip, Sunny checked in with us via text and sent us pics of Cinnamon. We so appreciated the care he gave and attention he gave to Cinnamon.”

“Harold is an exceptional dog sitter! From the moment he met out pup, his warmth and genuine love for animals were evident. He provided top-notch care, ensuring our dog was happy, well-fed, and entertained throughout the day. Harold's reliability and communication gave us complete peace of mind. We received regular updates and adorable photos, showing our dog having the time of his life. It's clear that Harold goes above and beyond to make every dog feel loved and secure. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Vivian, was thoughtful,, reliable and resourceful on a long house-sit with our two dogs (who are an absolute handful) and sweet kitty. Especially love how she stayed in touch and sent lots of pics. Can't wait to book her again.”

Kimba M.

“Hi Kristi, thank you so much. You were incredible this past week with our two lovebugs, they are small but they have their own mighty quirks that can be a bit to care for, and they were happy walked and loved on when we returned. I was so grateful at how reliable you were, since it was my first time asking for house/pet sitting, and humbled by the way you went above and beyond caring not just for the pups but for the house. Really so lucky to have found you and I look forward to next time. Thanks for making a much needed trip away possible.”

About: Hi, I’m Kaia! I’m a dog lover and proud owner of two energetic pups, Leo and Mazlow. With firsthand experience in caring for dogs of different personalities, I understand the importance of providing them with fun, safe, and engaging walks. I am a college student who has a pretty flexible schedule. I will be around during the day and at night with a few hours occupied by class. I adapt to your dog’s individual needs, whether they love energetic playtime or prefer a relaxed stroll. I always pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and the care they deserve!

“Dogs were completely chill when we came back, which is a sign that they were happy and taken care of. Katherine was easy to work with and a great communicator. I'd happily use her again.”

Katherine E.

“Rong/Samantha watched our two labradoodles, chickens and multiple reptiles while we were gone for 8 days. She stayed at our home and was very responsive to all our requests. She kept in contact with me on a daily basis. Our dogs liked her and were happy and safe when we came home. Our home was also exactly as we left when we came home which is always appreciated. I would definitely have Rong/Samantha watch our home and pets again!”

“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.”
