“Katelyn was so sweet and patient with my fearful Chihuahua mix. We had some communication issues that were NOT her fault, and she did her best to let me know what was going on. I would definitely hire her again if she is willing!”


“Siqin did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation!! Sent many different pictures and videos updating me so I had peace of mind that he was doing well while I was away. She also went above and beyond and cleaned his food mat and left a very cute picture of him for when I got back. Will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend you do too”


“Stacey is probably the best cat sitter we've ever had! She took great care of my fluffy boy and was happy to come in the morning when he's most active. She seems very responsible and trustworthy. We will definitely choose her again in the near future!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and have also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped with feeding, walking, and socializing animals of all ages and temperaments. This experience has made me comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I am currently self-employed and running a business online. My schedule is super flexible and looking forward to provide pet care and walk throughout the day! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their usual routines to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on time, have clean water, a tidy litter box, and get plenty of playtime and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos or videos for peace of mind.

“Bianca did a great job taking care of my two cats for a week, sending me pictures every day. She obviously loves animals, and I think they know it. Even my shy cat, Dack (who always hides from anyone but me) came out for her. I would not hesitate to recommend, and will definitely be calling on her again!”

About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide dependable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or basic training, I focus on creating a calm and positive environment for every dog. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and treat every one of them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m flexible and open, which allows me to easily accommodate each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s regular walks or feeding schedules I plan my days around the pets I care for, ensuring they get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being around animals brings me joy, so incorporating pet care into my week is something I genuinely look forward to. In my home, pets have access to a secure, fenced backyard where they can safely roam and play under supervision—they are never left unattended. Inside, I provide a clean, comfortable, and calm environment with plenty of attention and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel relaxed and loved.

About: I am a retired 911 dispatcher who has been loving on and adopting abandoned puppies that have stole my heart. I would love to treat your baby just like you would while you’re away at work, vacation, or a date night. I am available 24-7 as I am retired now so who better than me! I have 2 German Sheppard and 2 in heaven. I am able to administer meds (for an extra charge), baths (charge applies). Like I mentioned being retired spending my time doing something I love is important. I treat your Babis like humans- you will see me chatting with them, letting them know where we are walking and what we are gonna do for the day. All clients have provided guidelines of care all of which I take serious and follow. I believe pets are family and should be treated and included like such.

“Took great care of our furbies! All the basics and also some walks and brushing thrown in. Kept them happy and active. Lots of photos which is awesome for pup parents! Thanks Catherine!”


About: Hi, I’m Kaila—a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What started as helping friends and family has turned into a true passion for providing pets with a safe, loving, and engaging environment while their humans are away. Why Choose Me? 🐶 For Dogs: 🐾 Experienced with All Ages & Special Needs – Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, administering medication to a senior dog, or supporting a pet with special needs like epilepsy or anxiety, I have hands-on experience adapting care to fit each dog’s unique personality and health requirements. 🐾 Training Experience – I attended puppy training classes with Pimi, my former roommate’s shelter mix, and learned key training techniques in obedience, socialization, and leash manners. I also helped train a reactive pittie using positive reinforcement and high-reward treats to build confidence and trust. 🐾 Diverse Pet Care Background – From raising a litter of 11 puppies to helping my sister’s dog through pregnancy and birth, I have experience in every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve also helped socialize a high-energy cattle dog, managed a shy rescue pup’s trust-building journey, and cared for Norwegian Elkhounds with extensive grooming needs. 🐾 Reliable & Trustworthy – I take pet care seriously and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, structured play, or a cozy evening on the couch, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s personality and energy levels. 🐾 Outdoor Adventures Available – If your pup loves exercise, I offer hikes (with owner approval) to keep them engaged and happy. 🐾 My Home & Resident Pets: I currently reside in Fremont, CA, in an apartment without a yard but with plenty of green spaces and parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly and well-socialized pets: - Cambria (Cambi): A 30 lb mutt born in August 2022, great with all dogs and cats. - Jupiter (Jupie): A 12 lb tabby cat born in 2019, excellent with all dogs and cats, and adept at gently correcting over-excitable dogs. Both Cambria and Jupiter can be separated from your pet by doors and doggy gates if needed, ensuring a comfortable environment for all. A Little More About Me & My Experience: 🐶 Dogs I’ve Cared For Include: • A pittie with reactivity triggers (Blu) • A shelter mix with epilepsy requiring daily meds (Pimi) • A cattle dog with high exercise needs (Dash) • A Norwegian Elkhound show dog with specialized grooming needs (Molly) • An elder Norwegian Elkhound requiring daily meds and support standing, etc. (Lucy) • A shy rescue pup that needed trust-building (Wiley) • A Ridgeback puppy with high energy and some resource guarding (Fern) What You Can Expect from Me: ✔️ Lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to your pet’s personality ✔️ Medication administration (if needed) ✔️ Regular updates & photos so you never have to worry ✔️ Walks, exercise, and enrichment activities (for dogs) ✔️ Playtime, enrichment, and respect for routine (for cats) ✔️ A clean and safe environment I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet & greet so I can learn more about how to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. 😊🐾 I currently work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care to pets who need companionship throughout the day. 🐶 For Dogs: Whether it’s keeping an anxious puppy company, ensuring a senior dog sticks to their routine, or providing regular walks and playtime, I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m also available for longer stays if your dog requires more attention or consistency. 🐱 For Cats: Cats thrive on routine, and I can provide care that aligns with their schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. If your cat is shy, I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace, and if they’re active, I’ll make sure they get the engagement and enrichment they need. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾 I prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for every pet I care for, whether in their home or out on a walk. My goal is to reduce stress, provide enrichment, and keep pets happy while their owners are away. 🐶 For Dogs: I follow each dog's routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior, and I have experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building for anxious or reactive dogs. If your pup enjoys extra activity, I can also take them on hikes (with owner approval) for a fun and enriching experience. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means using a secure harness, monitoring off-leash time in approved areas, or making sure your pup feels comfortable before engaging in play. 🐱 For Cats: I understand that cats have unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and at ease. Whether they’re social and playful or more reserved, I adjust my approach to match their comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering medication, and engaging younger, high-energy cats with interactive play. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean, feeding routines are followed, and they get plenty of attention (or space) based on their individual needs. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾

About: I love meeting and caring for dogs, and i live in a simple and comfortable home for new dogs to come and explore. I have a playful 8 y/o Maltese that makes for a great play date. I work from home and have my own dog, so my home is well set up for fur friends to come and hang out at! I live alone in a largely spaced 1BR with my dog. Because I have a dog, the house is doggy proof with no snacks or choking hazards lying around.

“Andrea was great, attentive, communicative! Definitely will seek her out next time. Thank you, Andrea!”


About: I have been pet sitting my family friends pets for about 7 years now and they love when I take care of their pets. I also helped take care of cats. My availability is every day except for Wednesdays. That Is when I go to church. I am available early in the mornings and in the afternoon. Mornings from 6:00-9:00. Afternoons from 1:30-8:30 I love dogs so much. I will do nothing but the best to make sure your furry friend is not scared and worried when you are gone.

About: As your favorite childless pet auntie, I don't have my own dog so I can love on yours! You can rest assured that while you're away, your furry family members will be treated lovingly and lavished with attention and appreciation while under my care. As with the best of aunties, I'm here for a good time - not a long time! Overnight in-home requests welcomed. Positive reinforcement only! I am currently available any time, any day to spend quality time with your furry family members for as long as they need care and company! I treat your pets and home like I treat my own - with love, care, and respect. For new clients, please allow for an in-person meet and greet with your pet(s) at the home prior to any services being rendered so I can get to know you both and your needs better! Thank you.

“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”


“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”

About: My love for animals began as a child. Since I was young, I have had a fascination for our furry friends and their unconditional love. Recently, I have been pet sitting for my friends, and have been the go to for my neighborhood when it comes to pet sitting. My previous dog Roxy, lived to the ripe age of 16. She has taught me so much about myself, also how to take care of dog no matter the age. More recently, my current dog Dipper(6), loves to meet new people and new animals. I often work at home, so time spent with our furry family members will be substantial. In addition, nightly neighborhood walks are a must for Dipper, and bringing along another friend for him will be great. I have a 6 year-old, small size poodle-terrier mixed, name Dipper. He is super friendly. Like Dipper, your pets are free to go in and out to our fenced backyard as pleased (unless otherwise specified by the owner). They sleep indoor during night and are never left outside in the yard without supervision. I always walk with their leash on. In summer, I’ll make sure the weather is cool down before taking them out for walk.


“Betty is a life saver when my usual cat sitter moved away recently. She's very sweet and easy to talk to. She's also very responsive when setting up a meet and greet prior to hiring her for the job. She takes the time to feel out your pet's handling level and play style. During her drop ins she worked in sensory training which kept my Lulu occupied while we were away. The point is BOOK Betty ASAP!!!”

“Brenda was absolutely wonderful with my Shih Tzu, Ozzy! It’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving your pet with someone new, but Brenda instantly put both me and Ozzy at ease. She has such a calm, kind energy that Ozzy picked up on right away. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with messages and sweet photos, which I really appreciated. When I came home, Ozzy was his usual happy self—and honestly, I think he was a little sad to say goodbye to her! Brenda is dependable, loving, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I feel lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking her again”

“Kaila truly cares about our animals. She took the best care of our elderly Norwegian Forest Cat (19yrs) that is like a cat/dog that requires daily walks, Tortoise Shell (10yrs) that is the ring leader and Maine Coon (3yrs old), who skittish with new people. We were so grateful for the updates and pictures Kaila sent us, especially a picture of our youngest sitting on her lap. She worked her cat whisper skills on him. It really put our minds at ease knowing how our pets were doing while we were away. She was always responsive and helpful, and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter.”

15. Quynh Anh T.
“Quynh Anh cared for my two cats and house-sat for three days in January 2024 while we were out of town for a wedding. My mind was at ease the entire time! Quynh Anh was also kind enough to stop by and meet the cats and familiarize herself with our space prior to the trip. She was very thorough in her preparation that we needed minimal contact during the trip (except for the greatly appreciated cat photos!) I worry about my girl cat’s anxiety with strangers but by the end of the three days, she had snuggled into Quynh Anh’s lap, so that should speak to her warmth and gentleness around animals. My babies were in great hands and I would recommend Quynh Anh to all my friends and family for animal caregiving.”
