“Kleun was amazing with PJ and sent so many lovely pictures and videos for me! She even made sure to turn my calendar for me ☺️ Additionally, A+ communication with me from the get go.”
“Elise was helpful in booking additional hours at the last minute and she clearly connected with our dog during our short stay. She was responsible around the details of his care and I hope she can help us again soon!”
“Jie was amazing and really exceeded my expectations. I had her pop by for a few hours to spend time with my 11 year old and 1 year old French Bulldogs. She walked both dogs twice, encouraged play time, and fed them. She sent photos and updates and even cleaned the dogs bowls after the dogs ate. She is exceptional!!”
“Fernanda was great watching our two cats. We’ve booked her twice now and she was able to get even our shy cat to warm up to her. She really makes the cats feel comfortable when we are away. We will definitely be booking her again for our future trips.”
“Xiao is a super caring and professional cat sitter. She followed all my instructions perfectly. I got photo updates right on time. She’s very responsive and trustworthy. I’d definitely book her again for future visits!”
“Andriana is amazing. My puppy LOVES her, he wags his tail so much as soon as she shows up. She plays with him the entire time, is so available, and communicates before, during, and after the check in. I recommend her so much.”
“Excellent sitter, clearly cared for the boys beyond the requirements. He got an inconsistent eater to eat, cleaned up after one that micturated on a rug, and even played music for them. The one that's generally friendly loved him, and the one that's generally unfriendly tolerated him right off the bat which is impressive.”
“Could never say thank you enough for Angie’s quick response and action when we had a last minute need. She was SO helpful, provided great communication and truly went above and beyond to help us and our pups. We would love to have her back anytime”
“Miriam is wonderful. She took such great care of my cat while I was out of town. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Absolutely recommend and would love to have her back in the future.”
About: I have taken care of my own cat for four years now. I work well with any type of cats and am super excited to meet and care for your loving pet! I am a software engineer who wfh in Los Altos so my time is pretty flexible. Just let me know more about your pet need and we can work out a time together! I take great care of my own cat. For my customer’s pet, I will customized to their need for their pet care. Just stay communicated and we can work something out!
About: A large grassy area in front of the house on a cul de sad, several dog beds, dog-friendly neighborhood walks,...ideal for a fun pet overnight stay. I do not currently have my own dog but sometimes may take 2 dogs at one time. I study massage and dog psychology. Dogs who love touch or massages will get plenty of attention. It is a house with a yard, not an apartment. The yard is not completely fenced, so I use a leash 100% of the time until I know the dog very well, since there are sometimes birds and squirrels making appearances. Dogs spend a lot of time outside with me, weather permitting. Your dog will not spend time outside alone because it's just more fun to be together. About this sitter: I raised two Scottish Terrier litter-mates from puppy-hood and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes, dogs in my home for months at a time, and I enjoy walking dogs. I am soft-spoken and very patient. Shy, or sensitive/scared pets often feel comfortable around me pretty quickly. Pets should have joy in their lives so I enjoy giving them extra attention to help alleviate some of the stress when their owners are away. For overnight care at a clients' home, I like to stay as light and self-contained as possible. I'm in this for the love of pets and like to leave as little a footprint as possible! Experience includes: dog owner, cat owner, dog sitting for over 15 different dogs and 4 different cats (up to 6 dogs simultaneously or combo of 2 dogs/2 cats who were housemates). Why I love dog sitting: I made my first dog friend when I was 6 years old. Lalli was a seeing-eye school drop out and the sweetest dog I'd ever met. My aunt already had 2 cats that I loved by that point. I ended up helping a senior dog get past her separation anxiety and she and her folks gained more freedom. About my yard: Large grassy area in front of the house. Dog park nearby with well behaved friendly neighborhood dog regulars. My experience administering oral medication: I have done it and I will do it if a pet is not a biter or scratcher. I cared for 2 dogs during their hospice. I am open to doing that, at least to help provide respite for the primary caretakers. I am free to spend time with your dogs and/or house sit anytime except Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 7pm. Dogs that stay overnight with me will have a day sitter and dog company during the day. I am willing to accept stays longer than one week but we must discuss first to see if my system works for your animals. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby and a large grassy area. I have an afternoon sunning deck, and plan potty breaks every 2-3 hours. Mini-massages and indoor play breaks are available throughout the day between dog naps.
About: People always say if they could come back as a dog, they’d want to be mine — because I treat my pups better than some people treat their own kids! I’ve raised an Eskimo Spitz and two Bichons, and we’ve traveled cross-country by plane and car together — mostly because I didn’t want to leave them with just any pet sitter. I get how tough it is to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I don’t just cover the basics like food and walks — I make sure your pup gets all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. When I travel, I even fly my dogs to stay with family so I can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I want to be that same peace of mind for you — knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working - have flexible hours and would love to take walks for my own health - why not with a fur baby?? Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I always make sure they’re safe and comfy. I keep everything secure — no sneaky escape routes or anything that could hurt them — and follow your instructions to a T, from feeding to meds to their favorite routines. I’m good at picking up on what your pet needs, whether they want to chill or play, so they always feel happy and relaxed. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love and care in a safe, cozy space.
About: Hi, nice to meet you! 👋🏻 I'm Kris. I've been taking care of pets since I was a tot! I grew up in a house with lots of pets: 4 cats, 2 dogs, 1 iguana, 1 bearded dragon, countless fish, frogs, a few hermit crabs, ants (in a terrarium!), and sometimes mice. In addition, I often looked after my neighbors' pets when they were out of town throughout my elementary and high school years. Following college, I had my own kitty, Obi Wan, who got all my loving. Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and all the best as you look for the best fit for your sit. I'm a freelance, fully remote UX designer (app designer) who loves to travel, so I'm about as flexible a sitter as they come. I fit my life around you and your pet’s needs while I sit. When I’m sitting for you, I work around you and your pet’s needs and schedule. You let me know what works for you and what your pup or cat prefer! Meals at a specific time? No problem. Meds three times a day? You got it. 45 minutes of one-on-one play? Oh, I’ll tucker them out. I love mixing things up, so you let me know what works best for you.
About: What sets mI have experience in training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors. I'm also skilled in providing compassionate senior pet care, which includes administering medications and addressing specific needs. My commitment to tailoring my services to each pet's unique requirements, along with my genuine love for animals, makes me a standout choice for pet owners seeking a caring and knowledgeable sitter. I have time to walk the dogs every week from 9am-12:30pm except for Mondays. I'll be in the Bay Area this Thanksgiving and Christmas that isn't coming, and boarding is open now! my care for pets would depend on the service I offer. In my home, I would ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, provide regular feeding and exercise, and offer companionship. In a client's home, I'd follow the instructions they send, maintain routines, and give the pets the attention and care they need, which may include feeding, walking, and playtime. It's crucial to tailor the care to each pet's specific needs and preferences.
About: I have had pets my whole life and learned to take care of them at a young age. I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 13 and I immediately loved it. I would love the opportunity to meet your cute critter! I am currently a college student but I am on my break so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and Sundays. I currently have a dog I take care of. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I also have an indoor cat I care for and have previously watched an outdoor cat so I am familiar with cat care.
“We were very happy to have Ainsley to take care of our two cats while we were away! She sent daily updates with photos, which really put our minds at ease, and both Lychee and Kiwi were relaxed and healthy when we got back. Ainsley is an amazing animal lover and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be glad to work with her again in the future.”

Jie was amazing and really exceeded my expectations. I had her pop by for a few hours to spend time with my 11 year old and 1 year old French Bulldogs. She walked both dogs twice, encouraged play time, and fed them. She sent photos and updates and even cleaned the dogs bowls after the dogs ate. She is exceptional!!
Trina was wonderful! She came over the day before for a meet and greet, which really put my mind at ease. On the day of our drop-in, she was punctual and took such great care of our dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing our pup was with a safe, caring, and loving person. We will definitely be reaching out to Trina again!
Kimberly was sweet with our elderly kitty and careful about giving the daily medication. She was also communicative and took great care to keep our home secure and tidy. We will definitely book her again. Thank you, Kimberly, for giving our Girl good care and us peace of mind while we were away!
Emma has been an awesome find for us and our dog, Cody. Cody is an active 70lb inqusitive guy but who has been quite sick and needs a lot of extra care. Emma was easy to communicate with - responding quickly and clearly. She has been great with Cody - taking the time to get to know him and being attentive to his needs. She is always on time and has been proactively thoughtful in caring for our dog and our house. I would absolutely work with Emma again either as a dog walker or house sitter.
Kevin helped out with our three cats last minute over a holiday weekend, and he did a fantastic job. He was thorough and communicative, sending lots of great pics and videos each day. He even lured out our shyest kitty for playtime! Will definitely have him back.
As always, Jenna was fantastic!! She has become our go to person when we are away and takes the best care of our cats. We get great pictures and updates and she really takes the time to make sure they are well cared for. I always feel comfortable being away from the cats when I know Jenna is watching them, she’s the best :) Thanks again, Jenna!
Kelly is an amazing caretaker and animal lover! She has taken care of our older indoor / outdoor cat and dealt with a lot of unexpected challenges that have come with that with grace and ease. She is also extremely trustworthy and professional. We are lucky to know her!
Elissa was a fantastic sitter to our two labrador retrievers. She took them on walks twice a day, along with feeding them, and cleaning up after them. The daily updates were super helpful too! I would recommend her to dog sit and most definitely will be using her again. Thank you!
