Alexis did a wonderful job caring for our kitty. She did everything we asked and we returned to a happy cat and clean house. I've already booked Alexis for more cat sitting over the coming months. I'd recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter!

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.

About: Hi — my name is Rene, and I take care of pets and homes the way I’d want someone to take care of mine. I’ve lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years I have a genuine stake in this community and the people in it. I offer several services, and I do them exceptionally well: ∙ Overnight in-home dog sitting — I stay in your home, maintain your dog’s exact routine, and treat your space with complete respect ∙ Cat sitting — flexible arrangements that work around your cat’s needs and your schedule Doggie of Kitty Day Care in your home. No drop off of pick ups. I come to your house and spend the day with your pet while you are away at work or play. When you’re away, your home and your pet are in the hands of someone who treats both as if they were her own. No guests, no disruptions, no surprises. Just consistent, attentive care from someone who has made reliability the foundation of a 30-year career. I’m semi-retired, which means your pet gets my full attention — not someone squeezing this in between classes or a second job. My promise to you: I never take a booking without meeting you and your pet in person first. If after that meeting you don’t feel completely confident, you owe me nothing. I’d rather you find the perfect fit than just fill a slot. I keep a small number of clients so I can give each one the attention they deserve. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely and come back to every time you travel — I’d love to meet you. 📩 Send me a message here and let’s set up a time to say hello! Pet's fit naturally into my day. I structure my schedule so they are not an interruption- they are a part of the rhythm of the day. I plan my time around walks, feeding, play, enrichment, companionship and quiet time. I am home most of the time and can devote myself to caring for your pet. I will maintain their routine as carefully as possible.

Brandi was incredible! When we first met, I told her how shy and uncomfortable Fiona could be around strangers; Brandi was very patient with her and took time to sit and play with her - Fiona warmed right up! I've never seen that before. Very grateful for awesome communication and for Brandy's general wonderfulness - thank you so much taking care of my shy sweetheart while we were away!

Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!

About: We adore animals of all kinds. We have hardwood floors for accidents, and filtered water. We have a fenced yard for running around with our kids and potty, always allow indoor access, and we don’t leave your pet alone. James has volunteered at the Dog Shelter for years, has CPR/Rescue training(for humans) and an understanding of CPR and first aid for dogs. After many years of dog sitting, we've welcomed a variety of different dogs (around 50+ at last count) into our home. We have administered eye creams, injections, and many other medicines. We don't clip nails. we are happy to send pictures and videos and even facetime or video chat by request. James works from home, and we typically go for two walks a day so we are always happy to have a guest pet with us. We have thoughtfully organized our home to avoid dangerous substances, escape issues, and to ensure maximum joy and safety! We would love to give you a tour during a meet and greet.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends dogs for decades. I’m extra fond of those medium- big dogs & especially old dogs! Let me brighten your dogs day with a visit while your away. I’m now a semi-retired scientist, spending my time between art making & dog walking/sitting. I have nothing but time to spend with your special friend. At this time I do not offer any dog sitting in my home. I do hope to offer this service in the near future however.

About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!

About: I have always had at least one dog in my life, so not only does my love for dogs run deeply but so does my knowledge of care. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable, fed, watered, and has gotten time to be outside to play and go to the bathroom. In addition, I have taken care of other peoples' animals throughout my life. As of right now, my weeks are open to taking care of your pets in whatever way they may need. This is my top priority. When taking care of your pet I make sure they always have water and food, have time for potty breaks, and are comfortable. I also always give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and love. If there are any special instructions, I also make sure to give the specific care your pet needs.

France has been nothing short of incredible! We worked on my pup's schedule together, as I recently started a new job and needed some flexibility. Today, she took him for a walk; seeing him so happy was the best feeling! I highly recommend Frances; her care, communication, and knowledge about her services are outstanding.

Amanda was a great pet sitter for our cat! She was there on time and stayed for the full duration of each booking. We loved the different updates and pictures she sent with each visit, she was there to spend time with him. We could tell our cat warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company, which put us at ease during vacation. Will definitely be booking her again.

I recently had the pleasure of having Audrey as our pet sitter for our two dogs, Sparta and Colt, and I can't recommend her enough! From the very start, Audrey's professionalism shone through in her communication. She was always prompt and thorough in her responses, making us feel at ease about leaving our pets in her care. During the pet sitting, Audrey took exceptional care of our home and, more importantly, our dogs. Knowing that both Sparta and Colt experience separation anxiety, she went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Audrey kept us updated regularly, sharing photos and messages that allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We felt completely confident that our dogs were in the best hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Audrey.
