Alexus was so good with our cat Wally. She sent me pictures and updates, he was well loved and cared for! She left our home clean and left me no worries. Will definitely rebook!

Elizabeth was a great find! She made me feel secure in leaving my dogs while I was out of the country for a week. She provided daily updates on how my dogs were doing with photos included. She took great care of Maddie who had an eye injury which required daily medicine and eye drops. I noticed she even left my house spotless when her week of in house dog sitting was complete. Thanks so much Elizabeth, you will definitely be the one I want to book with in the future :)

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover and proud dog parent to an amazing mixed-breed pup! Most recently, I have been fostering pups of all sizes and ages with the Humane Society in my area. I’ve been around animals my whole life and know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, calm, and pet-friendly home with people (and a pup!) who truly enjoy the company of animals. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, some playtime, or a cozy overnight stay, I aim to make your pet feel at ease and cared for. I am available full time to work with your schedule. My commitments are brief and I can flex around the needs of the pets in my care. I have a multi story home with lvp flooring that is very pet friendly. Your fur baby will have to climb 8 stairs (or I can assist them) to get to the main floor which is where we will hang out. I also have an enclosed patio, but most of our outdoor time will be outside at the park right next to my home.

We had a great experience with Vivien, who stayed in our home for nine days to care for our pets. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to confidently administer insulin to our diabetic cat, which was a huge relief. Vivien was responsible, respectful of our space, and gave all of our pets plenty of attention and care. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. We’d gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

If you're looking at profiles and considering multiple sitters, I have great news- you've found the winner. It doesn't get any better than Jaynee! I have a dog with some unique special needs, and thought I'd be a wreck leaving her with a stranger, but Jaynee went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and I felt comfortable. She is super communicative, professional, and responsive- she left my hope super clean as well. I'm so relieved to have found someone through this app! 10 stars!

Samantha made my wedding weekend so much more stress free. I have an elderly temperamental dog who’s very suspicious of people and he was so comfortable with her instantly. She even ended up adding my sisters dog to the mix due to a different dog sitter issue my sister was having. She was attentive with updates.

Jie H was fantastic with our two Labradoodles. She is mature, responsible and really understood my dogs needs. Jie did everything asked of her for the dogs. My dogs loved her. When we arrived home, our dogs ran to greet us, but then went right back to Jie to play and be petted. I highly recommended her. I will definitely use her services again.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life but really started about 5 years ago. When I was young I would help neighbors, friends, and family with their pets and loved it. From daily walks and feeding to baths and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I am understanding that some pets may need extra patience or a lot of activity for a high-energy and playful pup. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I’m a graduate student with evening classes only, so I am free throughout the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I am able to take pets on long walks in various different areas depending on breed and energy levels for the pet to ensure they have a positive experience!

About: I’ve been dog sitting, walking, and providing overnight care for several years, working with dogs of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to Great Dane mixes. I’m comfortable with energetic, playful dogs as well as shy or fearful pups who need patience and reassurance. For the past several months, I’ve taken shelter dogs on field trips through County of Santa Clara Animal Services, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs in new environments, on hikes, and in stimulating settings. This has strengthened my leash handling, situational awareness, and ability to read canine body language. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I understand that seniors may need a slower pace and gentle care, while puppies require consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away :) As a student, I have a structured but flexible schedule which allows me to consistently fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits, and I plan my class schedule to allow time for reliable pet care commitments. Pet care fits naturally into my week—whether that means morning walks before class, midday drop-ins, or evening visits and overnights. I’m organized and intentional about managing my time, so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. On weekends, I have even greater flexibility for longer visits, extended stays, or multiple drop-ins per day. I prioritize clear communication and reliability so you can feel confident your pet is in consistent, attentive care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routes, house rules, and any specific behavioral needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, remain attentive on walks, and closely monitor pets during visits. I’m mindful of potential hazards and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it—clean, secure, and respected. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I treat both with the highest level of care and respect.

Alessandra is spectacular at caring for our two dogs, one of which was recently adopted within 2 weeks of our multiple day sitting. She not only focuses on caring for the pups, she continually communicates how they are doing which puts us at ease and allows us to enjoy our trip. She is so good at understanding each of their unique needs and gets to know them -she really cares! She also takes great care of our house and plants and is the most trustworthy and reliable sitter we’ve ever found. We and the pups are so so lucky to have met her. We highly recommend Alessandra!

Our experience with Jaynee was amazing! She arrived on time, and immediately texted us to let us know she had arrived. She checked in with us regularly; providing lots of photos and updates. She took great care of our home while she stayed there. She handled with grace the surprises our dogs threw her way (vomit on carpet, etc). She followed the instructions and routines we asked for, and overall took great care of our pups.
