Korin was on time and communicative! She was great with Tater and I really appreciated how patient she was when Tater was WAY over excited when she came over for a meet and greet. Would love to book her again in the future!

Natalie did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were out of the country for two weeks. They are extremely shy, and she was patient and creative and successfully drew them out of their shells for playtime and treats. She sent daily rover cards with detailed updates and lots of photos, and followed our instructions to the T. We came home to happy cats and a clean, neat home.

Andrea has been dog sitting our beloved Stacy for years while we take our family vacation every year. Andrea does a wonderful job not only caring for our pup while we are away but also keep us informed with how Stacy is doing with pictures and updated throughout our trip. The updates and pictures provide us with peace of mind, and allow us to really enjoy our vacation knowing Stacy is being well cared for. Last year at 10 years old, Stacy was diagnosed with cancer and as it progressed, she required more specialized care. We were conflicted if we should cancel our family vacation, but having already paid for it we decided to go if Andrea could accommodate caring for Stacy. Andrea agreed, and did a wonderful job of provide Stacy with the detailed and personalized care she needed. I would recommend Andrea to anyone is need of a reliable, caring and professional Dog sitter. If you want peace of mind and a happy pet while you're away, look no further!

My dog Daisy is a shepherd retriever mix, and is a little bit high maintenance with some anxiety. Samyu has consistently shown patience and love for Daisy, and because of this we know Samyu would be more than capable of dealing with other challenging dogs like Daisy.

Hiya! Gordon just took care of my dog for 3 nights while we were out of town and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention she received. His manner with my dog was patient, calm, attentive, and always kind. Dax is an energetic Aussie who is frankly a LOT to handle and she clearly had a wonderful and easy time at Gordon's house. He kept her on her exercise schedule, made sure she had her special diet and meds, and did a great job of managing her energy. She was not bouncing off the walls when we got her home and that's a huge credit to him for giving her the attention she demands. I will absolutely ask him to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter.

Lisa was AMAZING!!!! She is so clearly a cat lover and went above and beyond to take care of our two cats. She spent extra time with them each day to make sure they got plenty of love and attention. She was super communicative and sent pictures each day without prompt. I felt so comfortable and secure leaving our cats with her and we will absolutely be seeking her services again!

I worked with Hannia when she participated in our youth employment program at Lao Family Community Development, Inc. During her time with us, she successfully completed 100 hours of paid internship. She was placed at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, where she demonstrated great responsibility and initiative. Her duties included organizing and managing interactive activities for children who attended weekly programs at the park. She also took on the responsibility of preparing, loading, and unloading decorations and food for events, and maintained the cleanliness of the park. She cleaned out the trash and other clean up duties. Hannia has an excellent work ethic; she is currently enrolled at San Jose State University and is eager to gain more experience. Her sweet and kind demeanor, along with her ability to connect well with children and her love for animals. She even has a dog of her ow, make her an ideal candidate for pet caregiver.

Emily went above and beyond to take care of our 3 cats and fish while my husband and I were on vacation for 2 weeks. The day after we left, we had an ant infestation and Emily took the time to clean up and help remedy the problem while we were away. She has excellent communication skills and did a great job at keeping food, water, and litter boxes cleaned and filled. She regularly sent updates and took pictures which helped ease that anxiety felt when leaving your fur babies. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely be booking her services again!
