“We were so grateful to have Natalie dropping in on our pup while we were away for a weekend. She was very communicative and Laika loved her. We highly recommend her!!”

“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”

About: What sets me apart is being home full-time to provide constant companionship, plus having a friendly French bulldog who's great with other dogs for socialization and play. My two teenage boys absolutely love pets and will provide even more attention and interaction throughout the day. My securely fenced yard gives pets plenty of safe exercise space, and I have specific experience with French bulldogs and brachycephalic breeds, including understanding their special needs around breathing, temperature, and exercise limits. This knowledge also helps me provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special requirements. Pet care fits seamlessly into my family's routine. I start with morning walks and feeding, then take natural breaks throughout the day for quick walks or play sessions, I provide pet care in both my home and clients' homes, depending on what works best for each pet and family. In my home, I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play safely and get plenty of exercise. My friendly French bulldog loves having companions and is great with other dogs, so visiting pets get both human attention and canine socialization.

About: From puppy zoomies to senior snuggles, I’ve seen (and loved) it all. I’ve raised dogs of my own and been the go-to sitter for family and friends for years. Reliable, active, patient, and always ready for belly rubs or a good game of fetch. Based in a pet-loving neighborhood full of trails and parks—tail wags are guaranteed. 🐾 Like so many others, I was recently laid off—and around the same time, I lost the coolest dog anyone could ask for. With more time on my hands and a lot of love still to give, I decided to lean into what I’ve always been great at: caring for animals. I’ve always been the go-to sitter for friends and family, and now I’m offering that same love and reliability to others. My daughter is my little sidekick and loves helping out with walks, belly rubs, and all things furry. For both of us, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s a bright spot in our day and something we truly enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and of course, plenty of playtime and cuddles. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zones, making sure they feel secure while you're away. If they're with me, they get a cozy, pet-friendly environment, lots of attention, and access to nearby parks and trails for daily adventures. Every pet is treated like family—because that’s what they are.

“Alyssa was great! She dropped in twice a day while we were gone to feed and play with/walk my dogs. When we got home the dogs were happy & relaxed, couldn’t ask for anything more. Will definitely book her again.”


“Isla did a great job! She arrived on time, followed directions, had fun with my dog, and checked in with me when she had questions. I will hire her again and again.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.

About: Life time dog owner. Currently semi retired. Sold home in Pleasanton, Ca to be near my Daughter. I’m getting to know the area and walking dogs and meeting people fits the bill.

“Natalie was kind, compassionate, and reliable as a pet sitter. She cared for our senior cat for 12 days and took great care of him. We got updates at every visit and she took care of special requests. It was easy to communicate with Natalie, and we would trust her to care for our family pets again in the future! Thank you so much Natalie. ♥️”
