“Justine is the best! She was flexible and kind, working with us when our plans changed on short notice. She's always wonderful with our kitty and shares detailed updates. She even went above and beyond to help us address a pest issue while we were away. Thank you, Justine!!”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I regularly walk my family’s dogs as well as my neighbors dogs. I have experience with puppies and taking care of my blind dog. I am home from college for the summer starting my own business and working part-time. I have a very open schedule and I am looking forward to being around animals this summer I would regularly walk and play with a dog, basically whatever the pet owners would like me to do. As far as it comes to cats if they are friendly and like to play with toys, that is something I would do otherwise I would just hang out to be around them.
“Danielle is super-attentive to instructions for pet care and always leaves detailed notes on every visit. Danielle always takes great photos of my cats, too. I would always recommend Danielle as a pet-sitter!”
“RACHEL IS AMAZING!! SERIOUSLY!! I asked her to drop in visit to look after my cat Aria, and wow she went above and beyond! Lots of photos, detailed write up of what she and my cat got up to, and was very respectful of the space! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a animal loving caretaker.”
About: I’ve had countless pets growing up, as my mom regularly rescues street dogs. We care for them until they get placed in shelters. I’ve been taught to handle all types of dogs from super energetic to calm dogs. I'm currently a senior at Menlo-Atherton High School. I'm always available on weekends. On weekdays I’m available anytime after 3pm, except Thursdays where I’m available anytime after 1pm. I’m very observant of dog’s behavior and try to match their energy, while keeping their environment as stress free as possible. My number one priority is always your dogs safety and ensuring they are comfortable
“Mara was amazing and was able to drop in pretty last minute for Harvey. She helped me out by bringing in my mail and watering my plant too which I really appreciated. Amazing sitter! Loved the pictures of harvey!”
“Rachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !”
About: I live with my wife, baby girl, cat, and dog in Palo Alto. At home, I am the CPO (chief poop officer). I've experience with administering flea medicine for cats and dogs. I make sure the pets have food and water. I've trained my current and past dogs (sit, stay, go home, come, leave it, look at me, and other commands). I am responsible and clean up after the animals whether it's poop or vomit. Furry animals make me happy. I'm extroverted, so I am also social and easy to communicate with. I can care for your pet as long as I'm available. I've a flexible work schedule, and am on holiday for two weeks starting the week of Christmas. I have a cat and dog that likes to run out of the door, so I am careful when going in and out of the house. I'd do the same for you. I make sure they've food and water. If the dog goes on a hike where there are tall grass, then I'd check for ticks after the walk and use a tweezer to remove the tick if needed. If the cat or dog has its tail between its legs, then I'd approach slowly and walk around them to not make them too uncomfortable. If the cat's tail is up and approaches, then I give him/her a scratch on the head or chin. If dog's tail is wagging, then I'd definitely pet him/her. If the pet has dietary restrictions, then I will follow the owner's dietary guideline.
“Morgan took exceptional care of my two cats! She’s reliable, responsive, and very kind. I felt totally at peace being away from my babies, I’ve actually already booked Morgan again! She’s fantastic, and I’m so glad to have found her.”
About: I have been around and cared for dogs my entire life. As a kid I used to sneak my dog Jack into my room at night after my parents went to bed cause at that time dogs weren’t allowed in the house. I loved the warmth and cuddles and still do. I have been pet sitting for friends and family and truly enjoy having them. Interacting with all the different personalities. At my former employer that I worked at for more than 18 years, my boss always had a dog, So I had a dog M-F. I would help with their training as well especially since office dogs have to be well behaved and trained. I currently have a small 4 year old dog named Charlie. Charlie gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with senior and special needs dogs. I have experience in training dogs as well as helping anxious dogs settle in and build confidence. My schedule is flexible. I am available 7 days a week for walking, daycare, boarding, at home check-ins, vet and grooming visits. Emergency last minute care available as well as life happens and someone has to watch “Rover :-) I am home all day. *Because demand is high on weekends, weekend stays that are less than 3 days in duration (Fri-Sun) will include a weekend surcharge of $40.00 (plus rover fees). Weekend daycare rates will also include a weekend surcharge. I provide a fun vacation experience for your fur baby. Whether your dog prefers to lounge on the couch, sun-bathe, chase balls, play outside with other dogs or have stimulating play, I will engage with your dog continuously and provide personalized care to meet their needs. I am dedicated to providing the proper care for my guests. From helping first-timers settle in and preparing special meals for finicky eaters to playing extra time ensuring everyone is comfortable in their beds at night. I will sleep about 15ft from them with my door open so I can hear any movement or noise and I monitor them from my living room camera as well. As a dog owner myself, I treat each guest as if they were my own. We will not go to dog parks for your pets safety but we may go on safe outings and morning walks. My home has a 7' fenced in front and back yard with grass and plants where they can play and run around. My living room is where my guests will sleep/rest/nap and play with toys or cuddle on the couch and where the magic kisses and belly rubs happen. I aways make it a point to take a little one-on-one time with each guest to give them hugs kisses and love without competing with others. I feed them one at a time in the enclosed kitchen to ensure safety.
“Ian was so wonderful with my pups - they were timely, conscientious, communicative, sent tons of pictures and even did a couple dishes I had left in my sink! Truly felt my pups were in great hands with them.”
“Teagan was fantastic at caring for our very social cat while we were away! I could tell from her photos and videos that he was excited to see her each day and was enjoying playtime and pets. I appreciated that Teagan went out of her way to drop by for a meet and greet in advance of the trip. She is communicative, friendly, and reliable. Her skill in interacting with our cat seemed to really put him at ease while we were away.”
“Yee Ping is great! She made our dogs happy and comfortable right away. They loved spending time with her and playing fetch in the yard. She even tailored her visit schedule to make sure they got to go out at good times.”
“Our cat Sesame loved Thien-Nha! We were also able to enjoy our time away knowing she was in her capable and caring hands. Very reliable and excellent communication - will definitely book her again!”
“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”
“Kate is fantastic! She’s dependable, responsive, detail-oriented and she truly loves animals. I recommend her without any reservations! She will take excellent care of your pet and/or home.”

Katelyn was absolutely incredible with my two cats! She did a fantastic job feeding and playing with them, and she sent tons of wonderful photo updates that totally put my mind at ease. On top of that, one of my kitties had a messy bathroom accident, and she went above and beyond to clean everything up.
Justine is the best! She was flexible and kind, working with us when our plans changed on short notice. She's always wonderful with our kitty and shares detailed updates. She even went above and beyond to help us address a pest issue while we were away. Thank you, Justine!!
Lauren came highly recommended by our regular pet sitter when she wasn’t available, and that recommendation stands true. Lauren is a great communicator, took great care of Chicken Nugget, and embraced his quirky personality. She also went above and beyond to keep our house clean and tidy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future!
This was our first time having Rachel look after our boys! She did an excellent job and was stellar with her questions and attention to detail. She had questions for us about details we forgot on our OWN cat instructions. If you are looking for a new cat sitter - look no further!
Last year, we had another kitten, and when we traveled, we asked Kyle to take care of him. Unfortunately, we later lost him, and after that we got two new kittens. Thankfully, Kyle has been helping us take care of them as well. As always, she was amazing. She stayed longer when needed, and she even helped bring our package upstairs when I asked her. She is incredibly kind, very easy to communicate with, and always responds quickly. We are so happy to have someone we can truly trust, so we can travel comfortably knowing our kittens are safe and well cared for with her.
Ally was so great taking care of our senior cat. He needs medication and some extra care so having Ally give him the right attention was important to us. Ally gave us detailed updates and pictures throughout our vacation which helps us know our cat is well taken care of. Highly recommend Ally for any pet care.
Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.
