“Dane did a great job watching my kitties while I was away. He communicated clearly, asked all the right questions, and took some stunning photos of my cats to keep my mind at ease (seriously he should be an animal photographer). Highly recommend!”

“Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them. I currently have a cat and previously cared for a dog, so I understand the different needs and personalities of both. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and receive affection, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative, so you’ll always have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I’m 18, and it’s summer break, so I have a flexible routine and can work weekdays, weekends, and different times of day. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. Some pets love lots of play and attention, while others prefer a calm environment and their own space. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, giving them plenty of care and companionship, and making sure they feel secure while you’re away. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can see how their pets are doing.

“Rachel was great with our two cats. She followed all instructions perfectly. We loved getting our pet pics! Would absolutely recommend and rehire her in the future.”

Ivonne N.

“Maricruz was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two free-roam bunnies. One of my bunnies is really shy, but he immediately felt safe around her and connected with her. Maricruz sent lots of photos and great updates, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. She kept everything so tidy and clean. I highly recommend Maricruz!”

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: Have you ever wanted your dog to have the comfort of a 5-Star vacation experience with the trust of an experienced pup-lover right in your community? I’ve set up my ADU to be your dog’s private BnB oasis! It’s a totally separate space (just like a BnB), therefore your pet would have no interaction with my dogs. Your dog’s climate-controlled space is equipped with everything needed to make them comfortable during their stay - beds, toys, blankets, and backyard. I work from home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with them and do whatever is needed for them to have a comfortable home away from home❤️ A little about me: Hi! My name is Sydney and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for cats (including medication administration) and I have also fostered over 40 dogs in my home, so I have experience with all ages and breeds ❤️ As mentioned, your pet would have their own space separate from my dogs, but I do have two small rescue pups! I have one senior 12-pound girl named Mooncake and a 17-pound boy named Toast and they are the loves of my life!! I love pet-sitting! I’m very responsible, dependable, and can be flexible to meet your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s dog-sitting, dog walking pr cat care, I would love to meet your pet and provide exercise and a fun, loving place to stay while you’re gone! Send me a message with a little more info about you and your bestie and we can set up a time to meet. Can’t wait to meet you! :) I work from home, so I can be somewhat flexible with timing for cat care, dogstting and dog walks! I prefer walking in the evening before it gets dark but let me know your ideal timing and we can work around it. For cat care and walking, I would want to know more about your specific pet but also how to enter the home safely to ensure your pet doesn’t escape as I come in.

About: I had a dog for 15 years and a cat for 2 years, giving me experience with pets at all stages of life. They are very special and I have a deep passion for caretaking, one that extends to your pets! I can also administer medications if needed. I am a student at UCSF on summer break. I have availability most days—weekdays and weekends, just need a few days notice! I am also a night owl so I can watch your pets well into the evenings! I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. I love going on long walks around here solo, and a pet companion would make that even better! For cats, I can also take them on walks (if they’re those types of cats haha) or can just stay inside and play with toys.

“Theyshani offered excellent dog care. I love the responsive, friendly, commutative and attentive care our dog received.”

“Pat watched our cat twice and during our first meet & greet we could tell he would be thoughtful when watching a pet. He spent plenty of time with our cat making sure he had a companion while we were away. He also made a great artistic sketch of him too!”

About: i’ve taken care of pets for around 8 years maybe more. i’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fishes, chinchillas and would love to take care of more! I know how to give pets medication from pills to liquid and more. I’ve also taken care of pets from babies to adults! I’m available during the weekends and weekdays from 6pm and after since i’m an after school teacher! i could also do mornings depending on what time since im also enrolled in college! I love pets, giving them lots of attention, walks, meals and even training! Love giving updates to the clients and showing them what their furry friends are doing!

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have my own dog. He’s a four year-old mini golden doodle named Riley. We are active and frequently go on hikes, to the park, and to the beach on the weekends. I also have a backyard where the dogs can play. If your dog needs more than just neighborhood walks, I’ve got you covered! I’m experienced in caring for puppies and managing them so that they don’t get into trouble. I also have a lot of experience administering medication since my dog is on several meds for some of his health issues. I can provide enrichment for your dog if needed, since my dog loves sniffing games, lick mats, and trick training. I absolutely adore dogs and will treat your dog as he/she were my own! I’m available for boarding on weekends and potentially sometimes during the week, if your dog is OK with being left alone for longer stretches of time. I have a hybrid work schedule so I go into the office three days a week and I work from home two days a week (usually Mondays and Fridays). I have a fenced-in yard for the dogs to play. If your dog needs to be crated when left alone, I have a crate that can be used. I also have a Furbo dog camera where I can keep an eye on the dogs while I’m gone. If your dog is comfortable and safe not being in a crate when left alone, I can accommodate that.

“As a first time Rover user, Pearl was a great choice of sitter! On short notice she was very accommodating, and took great care of my puppy Hugo. She was also very easy to get in touch with, and kept me updated on how each drop in went. I would definitely book with Pearl again, or recommend her to a friend!”
