“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”
“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”
“Dennis did an awesome job caring for our special needs dog who suffers from DM. Our dog needs the assistance of a wheelchair for mobility, and Dennis took on the challenge confidently- with patience and understanding. He sent plenty of pictures and updates, and followed our instructions perfectly. I highly recommend!”
“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”
“Cathy is a great pup/house sitter and we highly recommend her. She takes great care of our dog and house when we are away and we are forever grateful. She is responsive and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is taken care of. She leaves our house super clean and our dog is always excited to see her and happy when we get home. Thank you Cathy!”
“Elisa watched my dog Maude when I was out of town for a few days. She was super accommodating and flexible. She sent me lots of pics and updates and it looked like my dog, who has a history of separation anxiety, really liked spending time with Elisa. Elisa was also really great about leaving my apartment in the same condition I left it. I would not hesitate to book her for dog sitting or walking again.”
“Charlii watched Wes and Margot while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house with the dogs and sent wonderful EOD updates with lots of pictures and notes. We’re excited to have her watch them again soon!”
“I’m so happy Korin had availability to watch Leo and Oscar! I had never left one of my dogs with a sitter before and he can be shy and nervous. She was great with both of them, super communicative, professional, and friendly. Can’t recommend enough!”
“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”
“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“We were nervous about leaving our doggie + home with a sitter for the first time, but Aman totally put those nerves to rest! He's incredibly responsive, thoughtful and responsible. Clearly loves dogs. I think he's honestly more careful taking care of our dog than we are sometimes – which is exactly what I look for in a sitter!! Not only did he take care of our pup, but he also helped take care of our home while we were gone (4 nights!) by watering our garden, bringing packages insides, and even taking out the trash cans on trash day. We really appreciate Aman's thoughtfulness and would definitely book with him again!”
“This was my second time working with Zsa-Zsa and she was great! Her communication leading up to the stay and during the stay was thorough and detailed. My dogs were excited to see her when she arrived at the house; that’s always a good sign!”
“Anais has watched our dog three times now, and we couldn’t be happier. She has excellent communication, provides regular updates, and takes incredible care of our senior pup with complex medical needs. We always return to a clean home, which is such a thoughtful touch. Anais is a wonderful dog sitter - we highly recommend!”

About: I am very active and can accommodate to all petcare needs as I did with my own from puppy stage to old age and only aspired to give her the best life everyday! I trained my own pitbull to be sweet and gently with kids and all people that she worked for a school and was a therapy to most people. I currently work remote and have the ability to give your pet lots of attention if needed and to be active with them while you are away. At my own home, I have a lot of space for a pet of any size. My living space also has an outdoor shared yard that is enclosed to keep all the dogs safe and relaxing place to get some air and sniff around.

Amelia O.
“Amelia is a true animal whisperer. She is able to wrangle my Australia cattle dog Paris and get him to behave, whether through voice command or the enticement of treats (or pets). She brings an aura of ease and respect that dogs (and cats) recognize to be on their best behavior.”
Laura O.
“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
Kerri C.
“Kerri did an amazing jobs with our animals! She came before the day to see how feeding time went in person. When we came back, the animals were content and happy!”
Lisa B.
“She followed through on our agreed upon care plan.”
Kelly W.
“Kelly has watched our dog and 2 cats many times over the last year and is very reliable, responsible, kind. I highly recommend Kelly to take care of your animals to know that you are leaving your beloved family members in great hands and do not need to worry while you are away.”

Sarah watched my sometimes leash reactive dog for 7 nights while I was away on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. I felt completely at ease while traveling, due to Sarah's professionalism, amazing communication, and the way she clearly connects with and understands Jojo pup. It's such a pleasure to work with Sarah.
Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!
Kerri was truly fantastic. She housesat with our 5 pets - 2 Doodles, 2 cats and a bearded dragon and we couldn’t be happier with her services. She was super communicative, sent pics with the animals who all loved her, and left the house spotless. Will definitely be hiring her again!
Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Eggs Benny! From the very beginning, Marian impressed me with her attentiveness and professionalism. She took the time to do a thorough meet-and-greet, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood all of Benny’s little quirks. While I was away, she went above and beyond to keep me updated with regular messages and the photos, which truly put my mind at ease. It was so clear that Benny felt comfortable and cared for by her! Marian is not only responsible and trustworthy, but also genuinely loving toward the pets she looks after. It’s rare to find someone who combines such reliability with so much warmth, and anyone lucky enough to have her care for their pet will be as grateful as I am!
Alison is absolutely wonderful! She took such loving care of our two dogs, and we could tell they were happy and comfortable while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and trustworthy. We came home to happy pups. I live in the San Diego area and I am sad that Alison doesn’t live closer to us, but will definitely ask her to sit for our pups next time we’re in San Francisco! We would recommend Alison to anyone looking for a caring sitter—she’s the best!”
Juliana did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. They got lots of walks and when she sent pictures, which she did a lot, they were smiling and looking so happy. She was also willing to stay at our house. She's a great communicator. She let us know how things were going during each day. I highly recommend her.
Mary was a great fit for our dog and cat, Poppy and Lola! She stayed in the home with them while we were out of town and sent us photos daily (so we would miss them a little less!). Mary has a calm and centered demeanor and quickly gained our trust. We will definitely call on her again!
Kaeli is absolutely a godsend! she went above and beyond for our puppy and helped us feel so at ease. this was our first time leaving overnight and she treated our pup (and us) with so much care. she is incredibly attentive and amazing. couldn’t recommend more!
Molly was great with Enzo! She took wonderful care of him and kept me informed with notes and pictures throughout her stay. She also took really good care of my house and left it very neat and tidy. I hope to have Molly stay again and I would highly recommend her.
Ammy watched our dog at our apartment for a long weekend and we felt very at-ease while away. She comforted our nervous pup during the 4th of July fireworks, in which we were grateful. Ammy’s communication, kindness, and wit are the perfect combo for dog responsibility. Will definitely book in the future with her.
Cathy did a home stay with my 3 dogs for 4 days when I had a last minute work trip. My dogs don't do well with boarding or at others homes. Everything went really great, my dogs were nice and calm and didn't seem to hold a grudge that I was gone haha. Cathy shared daily notes and updates with me and made sure everything was squared away with feeding and pottying the dogs before she left on the last day.
