1. Andrea S.

“Andrea does a great job with our dachshund, Snickers!”


2. Jovic S.
“Jo is an incredible pet sitter. She has such a natural way with animals, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does. My finicky little dachshund can be hard to please, but Jo earned his trust right away and kept him happy and comfortable throughout her visits. Her attention to detail and kindness shine through, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring. Highly recommend Jo if you're looking for a pet sitter who treats your pets like their own!”


3. Sophie L.

“Sophie is is my go to cat sitter forever 😻! She went WAY above and beyond to care for my kitty Amina. We moved to a new home 3 weeks before my vacation and Amina was still getting acclimated (she is a rescue kitty with anxiety/separation/abandonment issues). A housemate left a window open and Amina escaped. Sophie located her in a neighbor’s yard and spent hours trying to lure her home. She did the same thing on day 2 even though I booked only 30 minute visits each day. She was in regular contact with pictures and updates, thoroughly committed to Amina’s well being and my peace of mind. I came home early; it was clear from the look on Amina’s face that she needed me to feel safe/secure enough to come back to our new home. When I arrived, there was Amina in the driveway waiting for me! She came into the house right away and I believe that was due to Sophie spending so much time with her on her great outdoor adventure. I am so grateful to Sophie for her compassion, dedication, professionalism and love. I highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a new sitter, and she will always be our #1 go to pet sitter!”


4. Amber D.

“Amber agreed to do drop-in visits last minute for our cats. She played with them every visit and the cats seemed so happy when we got home. We are very happy with her care.”


5. Francesca A.

“Francesca truly went above and beyond for our cats! They warmed up so quickly to her, even our very shy/timid cat. She took the time to get to know them and made them feel comfortable during our vacation. We were at ease knowing they were in the best hands! We would absolutely want Francesa to watch our kitties again! Her knowledge of cat behavior is an added bonus!”


6. Keiki F.
“I highly recommend Keiki for pet sitting. She is thorough and detailed and conscientious in all the details of taking care of your critters, of which we have many. She was willing to understate army of 2 dogs, an indoor cat, hamster, 2 birds and gecko. She was incredible. I am grateful for her!”


7. Hannah E.

“I was grateful that Hannah was able to check in on Frito while I was in San Jose for the day. He loved going on two walks (!), getting fed and having some company. Hannah is extremely reliable and always provides great feedback after her visits.”


8. Skye S.

“Skye was so incredible with our cat Harlow while we were away for our wedding. Her updates were very detailed, always included photos, and made us feel very settled that Harlow was being cared for. Harlow can’t wait for Skye’s next visit!”


9. Pooya B.

“Pooya did a diligent job taking care of my German Shepherd who barked at him almost continuously. He paid attention to the details of caring for her and was able to complete the job.”


10. Marjorye G.

“We had a wonderful experience with Marjorye. She’s loving and responsible. Our cat Sadie absolutely adored her. I would recommend her to anyone!”


11. Phuong V.

“Phuong was awesome! Very reliable, communicative and flexible. Sent pics every visit of my two kitties. They can be a little shy of new people but they warmed up to her quickly, which was reassuring. Great experience”


12. Lucia Q.
“Lucia is a very responsible young woman who I met through a friend of a friend. I needed somebody who could feed my dogs twice a day and walk them. My doggies loved her and she was always respectful using my house key.”


13. Maria Catia A.
About: I have experience taking care of pets of many sizes and kinds. I have a lovely 8yo child who is very gentle and respectfull with animals. I work part time, usually out of home for about 2 to 4 hours per day. We take our fur guests to walks and dog Parks. I have a fenced yard and only out of home for about 2 to 4 hours a day. Your fur baby will get lots of attention.


14. Rebecca P.
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I'm excited to combine my love for animals with providing exceptional pet care. I currently work as a project manager at a large healthcare company, where responsibility and attention to detail are key to my success. Growing up, I cared for three wonderful dogs and spent years looking after my neighbors' cats during middle school and college. These experiences taught me how to provide thoughtful, reliable care for pets of all types and personalities. When you hire me, you can rest assured that your furry family member is in capable, caring hands. I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. For in-house sitting, I do ask for some flexibility in my schedule—while I’ll spend quality time with your pet, I may need to step out for a few hours during the day. I’m also not able to take on pets with aggressive behavior or destructive tendencies, as I want to ensure a safe, low-stress experience for everyone involved. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter—I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Pet care is an integral part of my routine. I prioritize creating a consistent schedule to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for, whether that’s feeding them, going for walks, or spending time playing and bonding. I easily incorporate it into my day, balancing it with my other responsibilities while ensuring each pet gets the attention they need. In my client's home, I follow their preferred routines, including feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and maintaining their pet’s daily habits like walks or playtime. I ensure their space is kept clean and safe, and I take care to leave their home as they left it. If caring for pets in my own home, I create a welcoming environment with a safe, cozy area for rest and engaging spaces for play, ensuring they feel right at home.


15. Tanze A.

“Tanze took great care of our little one! She was so patient during the meet and greet so our kitty could warm up to her. She sent us lovely photos and updates, and gave our kitty all the love and attention she needed while we were away. We're looking forward to working with Tanze again!”


16. Sara G.
“Sarah came through on short notice and helped make my weekend away care free....and my pups were grateful to have her to.”


17. Robin C.
“Robin is a caring and responsible person and pet owner. He really bonds with animals and genuinely enjoys being in their company. He will be good to and for your pet also!”


18. Emma & Curt B.
“Emma has been caring for dogs unofficially since she was a child. She was the go to dog caregiver in our neighborhood for 5 different families.”


19. Yailin S.
“Hola yo conocí a yailin y cuidaba a mis gatitos y ellos la adoran por lo bien que a cuidado y mis gatitos mientras yo trabajo y a veces tengo que viajar por trabajo es muy buena persona.”
20. Gail G.
About: While I have been a life-long pet lover, I have raised, trained and cared for our sweet goldendoodle for over 4 years. I have also walked, fed and bathed the pets of many family members and friends. I am a stay-at-home mama to a fun 3 year old son and our 4 year old golden doodle, so my day is naturally built around at least 2 walks (1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon), meal times and naps. While at home, our babies get plenty of love and play and your pet will be no exception! I have a small fenced in yard that my dog and yours will love to lounge and play around in. Our home also sits on a quiet street close to walking trails with very little traffic, it’s very peaceful and easy to ensure that your furbaby gets any exercise needed.
