“Rachael rearranged her plans at the last minute to spend the weekend with Izzy and Thor, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and happy!!”

“Mia was amazing with Bear!!! She took such good care of him and he loved her. Was super communicative and I loved how excited she was to watch our pup. We’ll definitely reach out to Mia again :)”

“Alexis is a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed with our golden retriever for 8 days while we were out of town. Throughout the week, she was communicative, sending pics every day and detailing what they had done together (walks, balls, toys). At the end of the week, she left a detailed note to highlight anything else we needed to know. I so appreciated the level of detail she provided and the clear care she put into taking care of our dog. He’s a part of our family and I’ve never trusted anyone but family with him. We’ll now trust Alexis with him every time! Highly recommend her if you are looking for a communicative, responsible, compassionate dog sitter who will treat your dog like their own.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need! I am a very interactive and engaged pet sitter who believes pets are more than just animals, they’re cherished members of the family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Vicki did a phenomenal job taking care of our boy Mylo. Mylo had to get some emergency stitches the day before we were going out of town. Vicki handled his care perfectly, sent us regular updates and dealt with all the drama that comes with Mylo having to wear a cone. We cannot thank her enough and absolutely would recommend her to everyone else.”

About: Hello, my name is Emily and I would love to help you with your animal care needs. I have been around animals throughout my life and have always really enjoyed each unique personality. For my own pets, I have experience with (some would say) difficult animals but have always persevered. Whether it be my crazy cocker spaniel, high energy cattledogs, or hissy maine coon, I am up for any challenge. Every size, shape, color, personality... they are all so cute and have the sweetest hearts. I am responsible and dependable, and you can count on me to treat your pets with the same gentle care you would provide. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and am therefore available most days and times for walks and drop-in visits. My booking availability reflects my current schedule. I care for all pets with kindness and patience. I know that animals may have anxiety with other people and I take that into account when caring for your loved pet.
“Allison totally came through for us. We added a third dog at the last minute (a large puppy even!) and she was willing to take all three dogs, two weekends in a row. Everyone seemed quite content when we came home. Will definitely use her great dog sitting services again!”

“Destiny and Treonna were awesome! They took great care of all of our pets and our house. Destiny was a good communicator and texted us each day with an update and pictures. I would highly recommend them.”

“Leaving our dogs at home is always the hardest part of traveling, and we naturally worry about them. We’re so glad we found Efraim and the dogs absolutely love him! He did a wonderful job taking care of them while we were away. He was also very patient with our senior dog, who can be quite picky and slow with food, which we truly appreciated. We loved the updates he sent, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Efraim! We truly appreciate the care you gave our dogs and will definitely book with him again in the future.”

About: I'm free most days (except 12:30-3:30), I have always been dogs & cats around my life I've taken care of 5, and I can do as long as needed dog walks I'm free any day (except 12:30-3:30 PM) I can stay overnight too if needed. I am very flexible with my routine. With dogs I am always out so I take them on daily walks, even outdoor ones like hikes, I am very aware of my surroundings while walking them.
About: I have had a cocker spaniel poodle mix for 7 years and I regularly walk, feed, and take care of him. I have also had him since he was a puppy, so I have experience training him. I have walked dogs in the past and I am currently open to housesitting gigs. I regularly do overnight petsitting for my aunt’s small dog and a nearby couple’s dog and two cats. I work from home most of the day and leave the house for a few hours to teach at a local dance studio. I would love to care for your pet. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I work from home most of the day and will be away a few hours at a time when I teach. Let me know of your pet needs a person with them for extended periods of time! I want to emulate the environment your pet is most comfortable in and used to! I am happy to follow the routine they are most accustomed to.
“Erika was very sweet and took great care of our old boy, Watson. He was well loved while we were away. Erika was also very respectful of our house. We will try to have her over again!”
“Aida was a wonderful pet sitter! She sent pictures and kept in communication with us regarding all details! The pets and house were in perfect shape when we came home. She made sure they were well fed and the house was so clean! We hope to hire her in the future!”

About: I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast. I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads. I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.
“We had a fantastic experience with Courtney. She has a very calm demeanor and Bear loved her the minute he met her. We felt very comfortable leaving Bear and our home in Courtney's care. She was very attentive to Bear's needs and sent updates and pics everyday. She was also very respectful of our house and left it in great shape upon return. If you are looking for someone dependable and who you can trust, I highly recommend Courtney. We will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! As a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands-on pet care experience, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention, patience, and lots of love. I’m also a proud dog mom to Stevie, my adventure buddy who joins me on weekly hikes and keeps me active outdoors. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or attentive in-home sitting, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust, and I look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and house sitting throughout the week. I make it a priority to give every pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and any special requests. If participating in daycare, my home has a fully fenced yard and is located just minutes from Larkey Park, providing a safe environment for play, exercise, and enrichment.
About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

We had a meet and greet with Sumaira for our need to have doggie care, cat care and house sitting for a week. Sumaira has lots of experience and confidence which put us at ease. Our senior cat requires daily meds 2xs per day and our newly adopted 5 y.o. Golden can be rambunctious- Sumaira was at ease caring for both. Our home was well taken care of and she even helped with an unexpected delivery. We received daily pictures and reassurances that all was well. We recommend Sumaira and will ask her to help us again soon.

Megan was great, very nice and respectful and most importantly took great care of Milo and Ivy! It was their first time being cared for by a non family member and I was probably more nervous than they were but Megan was very accommodating and I could tell she’d take good care of them. She was responsive and sent pictures and left the house in a great state. Would recommend for sure!

We were out of the country for two weeks over the holidays. Amber stayed in our home and she was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Alli. She went above and beyond in every way. From daily walks to fun hikes, Amber made sure Alli stayed active, happy, and engaged. She even taught her new tricks — something Alli was very proud to show off when we returned! Amber also gave Alli a bath, kept her looking fresh, and sent us regular photos and videos that brightened our days and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear how much love and attention she put into caring for her. On top of that, Amber kept our home spotless and secure. Coming back to a clean house and a joyful dog was such a gift. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and truly outstanding dog sitter. Alli adored her, and so did we. Amber will be our go to person moving forward to watch Alli whenever we travel out of town. Thank you for everything, Amber. :)

Angie was great to work with and made my trip much easier. She and her partner Will took thoughtful care of my dog Kingston, who has a few special needs after a recent surgery, and she kept me well-updated with photos and videos throughout my time away. She was honest, responsive, and easy to communicate with, and I came home to a clean house and a very happy pup.

Michael is an amazing house and pet sitter! This was first time we left our German Shepard with someone other than family. Our dog doesn’t generally warm up to people but he immediately bonded with Michael. He took excellent care of our home and gave our dog lots of love and attention. He kept in touch daily and sent photos which gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend him!
Amber was absolutely amazing with my two bulldogs, Chunky and Jelly! She came by before the stay to meet them, learn their routine, and ask thoughtful questions so she knew exactly what was expected. The weekend I was away was scorching hot, and she made sure the dogs (and herself!) stayed safe and comfortable. She sent updates and photos a couple times a day, my pups looked so happy and relaxed! Amber even went above and beyond by helping clean up dog messes. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes pride in her work. I came home to happy pups and a stress-free experience. I will definitely be hiring her again!

Olivia did a fantastic job of watching our home, dalmatian, elderly poodle, and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. She even watered a couple of newly planted plants as we discovered the drip line to those was broken right before leaving. We had her repair our fence... Just kidding on the fence. : ) Everything went very smoothly and we are very happy. We have already booked her for our next getaway. Highly recommend!!
