“Every time Fernanda visits, I come home to happy, well-loved cats. She plays with them, grooms them, and really takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable and content.

She’s thoughtful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. I feel incredibly lucky to have someone like Fernanda taking care of my cats. If she’s available, don’t hesitate — she’s the best!”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and puppies, I truly understand that they're not just pets, they're family. I know all about sleepless nights spent playing or dedicated training sessions to get potty schedules just right. I also understand the vital importance of dedicated playtime and relaxing moments to ensure your furry baby feels loved and cherished. I promise you, your little one will be in the best hands with me, and we'll create unforgettable memories together! The safety of your baby is my priority. I will take care of them as if they were my own, and I will keep you updated on every important detail! I am currently taking a break from my professional life and am fully dedicated to doing what I love, spending time with animals. This is a personal therapy that makes me really happy! :) For dog walks, I prioritize their safety, consistent potty breaks, and fun playtime. For drop-ins, I ensure sparkling clean environments, fresh food/water, and deeply understand their unique needs.
“I'm a repeat customer - Elise was great! I had an error in my booking (wrong date) and Elise was attentive & communicative to fix the error promptly! Thanks again Elise!”
“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.”
“Julia was super responsive and helpful with watching Oatie while we were on our honeymoon! We received lots of sweet photos and updates and felt like Oatie was in good hands while we were away. We also had some gifts delivered and she helped make sure they were brought safely inside.”
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.
“CJ has watched for our golden retriever several times. We always appreciate his wonderful care and great communication skills. We will continue to use him!”
“Robyn is clearly a dog lover. My rescue pit bull mix loves her and took to her immediately. Robyn was able to fit me in for 2x per day drop ins despite my short notice. Robyn is professional and caring and provides great updates. She is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for caring for your furry friends. I am currently working with Robyn to book daily visits going forward.”
“Blair took wonderful care of Bell, our sometimes anxious kitty! She met Bell before our trip to get to know her and understand her routine. Bell quickly bonded with Blair, and we could tell she was in great hands. We've definitely found Bell's go-to cat-sitter! Thanks, Blair, for taking such thoughtful care of Bell and for giving us peace of mind during our trip.”
“Maya is great with Rosie! She is prompt, reliable, and does an excellent job caring for our lovey little girl while we are working. Definitely recommend Maya for your doggie sitting needs!”

“Candy took care of our cat while we were away in Japan for nine days. Even though I goofed the start/end date because of time changes, Candy was flexible and was sure to take care of my fur fattie on the days I needed. Candy sends photos every day and updates on your pet's health and behavior. Super reliable, recommended.”
“I had a smooth, pleasant experience booking with Aiko! My pups looked happy to be with her. I heard that they went on multiple short walks and received treats that I provided. I would confidently book Aiko again.”
“Kimberly is Emmy's favorite! She is super responsible and communicative, goes above and beyond, treats my home as her own, and sends me adorable pictures of Emmy. I've even known her to give Emmy gifts (with my permission, of course)!! I couldn't be happier!”
“Jenny was great and my cat loved her visits!”
“Rachel provided exceptional care to my cat Tasha during the holidays. With her cat mom experience, she quickly gained trust from Tasha. She is caring and observant, sent me daily updates of Tasha’s wellbeing and progress. She changed waters, refresh food and cleaned litter boxex, she even swept the floor. She’s an experienced cat sitter, Tasha is very comfortable with her and would love to meet her again. Thanks Rachel!”
“My door lock had problems on several days and Lisa was very flexible and willing to come back several times to make sure my cat was taken care of.”
About: My husband and I moved to Los Altos Hills to help care for my father and I have recently left a career in marketing. I’m looking to fill my free time with more caring! I’m experienced carer for dogs & cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments including the Big Boys. I’ve raised all our dogs from puppy and currently own a 13 y/o F Border Collie and 10 y/o Shitzu-Bichon mix. Our 4 y/o, 110lb German Shepard died in 2023 of lymphoma and I have experience in end of life care. He was an anxious dog and gave me lots of experience in dealing large dogs w/ difficult temperments. I have house sitted many other dog breeds as well. In addition I own a very vocal 16 y/o Main Coon Cat and have cat sitted cats of all ages and temperaments. I also have experience with fostering young kittens and caring for kittens. To round out the menagerie we also have a 4 y/o Chinchilla and I have many years experience caring for Rabbits, Rats, & Hamsters. I’m so lucky to live near family who can cover my pet-mom duties for me so I’m currently free full-time. I will adjust my schedule as my availability changes. I’m happy to stay over night, administer medication, cook meals if diet requires (fee applies), do long walks or short walks, long check-ins or short drop by, comfortable with crates, loud dogs, and dogs that are all over you.
“Kelly is THE BEST. My kitty Monet gets nervous when left alone and usually doesn’t welcome anyone home. Kelly was very patient and now Monet is so friendly with her. Kelly took care of my kitty amazingly, played with her, followed all instructions, stuck to a schedule and went above and beyond. I will absolutely request Kelly again. Our trip was much more stress-free, thanks to Kelly. Would trust and recommend her.”
