Laura was great with our two dogs! She stayed at the house, provided regular updates and they seemed very happy. Our regular dog walker also said she was fantastic. 10/10 recommend!

Laurena is awesome with our dogs and communicative with me, which I appreciate. Laurena always leaves the house in great shape, and the dogs are always happy when she arrives and when I return.

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.

Maryann has been an exceptional cat sitter and I have used her multiple times. She provides loads of information when we are gone including pictures. She is able to work with both of our cats to ensure that they eat their own special diets. She is very responsive and prompt with the decided schedule. I look forward to my next trip and knowing that my cats will be well taken care of.

Alexandra house sat for my elderly dog Coco for a week (in my home). She was a fantastic sitter. She was communicative, friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She worked with Coco's personality. I think that she is an animal person and it comes through in the great and responsive care she provided while we were away (ditto for her her husband). Her approach definitely put my mind at ease while we were gone. Thanks Alexandra!

Kenny was fantastic with our pups. We got updates everyday of their adventures together. Our needy Rottie warmed up immediately and our sometimes aloof Jack Russel took to sitting on his lap. Kenny stayed in our house and everything was in perfect order upon our return. We will absolutely have Kenny dog sit for us again.

About: I am a current pet sitter and have many sits behind me. I care for dogs and have traveled throughout the USA thus far doing so. Feel free to request a link to my personal profile to visit my pet sitting history and view some of my furry friends. MY PERSONAL PET EXPERIENCE I owned a senior dog for many years in New York City and a kitten for a short time. Both were rescues from the ASPCA that I adopted and loved with all my heart. They were spoiled and were perfect additions to my life. My family also owns pets from Carly our family dog and the list goes on of others since I come from a large family. ABOUT ME Hi, I am Amma and I am currently traveling and working on my first novel as a Writer. I hope to begin sharing my stories with the world. I have many interests and passions from working on a startup as a foodie to creating books for children as a future project. I also care for babies and toddlers as a nanny when I can. I am 43 years of age and consider myself laidback but sharp. I have traveled the world for the last 20 years off and on and it's been an adventure. I have heard others describe me as sweet, caring and wise with an old soul. I love animals and had Andre, my charming senior dog (Brussels griffon mix) for years, until he passed and Lovely, my gray kitten. Both were rescues from the ASPCA. I am pretty reserved, yet am reliable and quick on my toes when it comes to life and responsibility. See you soon! WHY I DO THIS I want to add house sitting to my list of passions because it is important to me to give back by helping others after being blessed in this lifetime. I think the exchange would be wonderful since these days I yearn for a quiet space to write amongst cute furry company. I adore all animals really and caring for them, is an added bonus. I feel I am trustworthy and enjoy clean spaces while making others happy and comfortable....therefore, why not. :) I am dedicated to pet sitting full time, therefore, it is part of my schedule and routine. I travel worldwide to care for animals and enjoy it very much. I do not care for pets in my home at this time since I travel to your home to take care of dogs and home.

Sandrine has watched and taken care of my space on several occasions. She is knowledgeable about cats and dogs and their needs. She administered flea medicine on the neck which is not always very easy. Her love for animals has warmed my heart and is special and rare. Thanks Sandrine for all your help!

Amy was fantastic. She sent pictures of our two pups regularly, responded to text messages promptly, and was very easy to coordinate with. I felt that our dogs were in good hands the whole time we were away. When we got back, the house was cleaned and the bed was made. Wonderful experience and we will be booking again. :)

Josh was WONDERFUL! He treated my boys as if they are his own. I have never met such a knowledgeable & caring sitter. I was truly impressed with how he was able to read doggy body language! Moreover, his parents were / are the top in their industries (grooming & vetcare) & he’s able to enlist their help if needed while he sits your furbaby! That was so important to me because I’m always worried about my boys! Lastly, I will definitely hire him regularly. My boys loved him & so do we!

About: During high school and college I worked both at a pet store (2years), a kennel (1year) and a vet clinic (4 years). During that time I would house sit, and do drop ins. I learned a lot about dog breeds, dog behavior, and general animal care. I can also care for birds, small mammals, reptiles and fish. I have personally owned at least 1 dog and 1 cat my whole life. Currently I own 1 of each. In my free time I love to go to Point Isabelle with my dog Pono, a French Bulldog. You can catch me out there at least 5 times a week walking my dog and loving on other dogs. I live in El Cerrito and work in Berkeley, so I spend about equal time in both areas. I currently WFH 3x week, so I can work animal care into my schedule. When I do go into work it is generally at my discretion so I am flexible. Loving care, based on your specifications. I do have a respectful 10 year old that I will likely bring with me. I would like to impart a sense of responsibility and work ethic.

About: I am dedicated to the doggies and will give them my whole heart every single day. I have been dogsitting since I was kid from golden retrievers and aussies to coonhounds. Big or small, I’ve taken care of them all. I’m currently a student and am on campus for classes but otherwise am usually home. I have a car so going to go watch a dog is no problem. In the client’s home I’m happy to visit multiple times per day or stay overnight, whatever is needed. I have a car so transportation is easy and I love getting out and being active so going for multiple walks is no problem.
