“Sidney is great with my kitties! We received photos and updates every time while we were away. Sidney also went above and beyond when our automatic feeder was unexpectedly empty and refilled right away. Thanks again! ☺️🙏🏾”

“Shelly was amazing with our two kitties. They don't get along and have a complicated set up and she was sure to keep them both content and separated. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Shelly was detailed, responsive, and so kind. It was our first time with Rover and we had felt nervous at first. Shelly was so reassuring and did a fantastic job. We are booking her again next weekend ? Thank you Shelly!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, beginning with my childhood growing up on a farm. That early, hands-on exposure taught me the fundamentals of animal care, daily routines, and how to read animal behavior. This transitioned into professional work as a dog trainer at Happy Hound play and daycare in Oakland where I trained and cared for dogs both at the center and on park walks and in home visits. I am able to confidently handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels from puppies needing structure and basic obedience to older dogs requiring a gentle, patient approach. I have a background in housing and caring for animals. I currently share my home with my own pet, Baloo and my housemates pet Bentley my living space is always dog-friendly. I know exactly what it takes to create a safe, enriching, and comforting environment for visiting animals. I can give owners peace of mind while they are away! I am currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility to work around schedules and to setup routines! I also have transportation to travel. I have a fully fenced in yard with two fur babies to keep your doggos safe and entertained! They can lounge outside in the sun or inside.

“Emilia was so incredibly patient and kind. She cared for my cat so well. He can be a little messy near the litterbox and near his food because of his low vision, but Emilia even made sure everything was super clean. I cannot recommend Emilia highly enough! I've already booked another drop-in visit with Emilia for my next weekend away because she was so wonderful.”

“Everything went so smoothly! I appreciated all of the updates about the kitties and how easy it was to communicate with Jennifer. Will definitely hire her again!”

“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”

Hana K.

“Laura was amazing! She was very caring, thorough, and thoughtful. She always made me feel like my fur baby was in capable hands! I will definitely be calling on her again!”

“Sarah did an amazing job! She was so kind and our puppy loved her! I would absolutely trust her to watch over our little pup again. She came to check on our puppy 3x a day, and she would play with him and feed him. We loved working with Sarah! She constantly checked in and. gave us updates on our pup! We absolutely would ask her to help us with our pup again. We 100% would recommend her!”

About: I have more experience with small dogs and cats. I used to play with small dogs a lot and I love their energy. I also love cats since I have two of my own. Looking forward to meet your pets. I can visit once a day on weekdays after 5pm. This visit can be playing for 30 mins, changing food or water. I can visit more often on weekend ( fri-sun) depend on your need. I prefer each visit will be as longest as 30 mins and I don't stay over night. I will make sure your pets have enough of necessities as I visit, like food or water. I make sure I can keep them a company and play with them to make them happy.
