“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful, and highly recommend her to anyone. She was extremely kind, caring, and confident with handling our two dogs. Our dogs can be quite the handful and she took excellent care of them, providing frequent updates and pictures so we never had to worry about them. I will definitely be reaching out to Stephanie again anytime we need a dog sitter.”


“Vanessa did a good job taking care of my dog and left my place very clean. She was communicative and arranged a meet and greet prior to dog sitting. I would recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“It I could give 10 starts, I would. Malia is a kind, animal-loving professional who not only takes great care of your furry companion, but also take care of your house like it’s her own. I came home to a content, happy kitty and a home that was impeccably organized and even smelled like fresh laundry (?!). Such a relief to see that my cat had a great time while I was gone. Malia also takes the cutest photos of your pet. I will definitely book Malia again in the future whenever I go out of town.”


“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”


“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”


“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter come and stay in our home. We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela and would definitely hire her again. She was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of pictures of the animals. It made our get away so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Gabriela for all your pet sitting needs!”


“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”


“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”


About: I have had two dogs for 16 years. They were both lab mixes, about medium sized dogs. While they were alive, I would walk them three times a week, make sure they had food and water in their bowls, let them outside in my backyard to play and potty, and clean up after them. I have dog-sit for many of my family and family friends. During overnight stays, most times the dogs would come up to cuddle and sleep with me while I chilled on the couch or bed. I am currently applying to be a student and am looking for something to make money on the side to save up. I love animals and especially love cats. I am currently living with two cats who are not very sociable when it comes to other animals which is why I would prefer to care your pets in their home environments without the added stress of socializing with two anti-social cats. I am free everyday of the week until the semester starts so feel free to reach out. I am only looking to care for your pets in their own homes. I will give your pet lots of affection however I am still able to be stern when it comes to dogs misbehaving. I can take your dog on walks and crate them if needed. I am good with a leash and am confident at handling pets on walks, big dogs too. I can clean up after them, whatever end it comes out I can manage with the right tools. If you give me proper instructions and a schedule, I can provide your pet with necessary oral medication and treatment, and if you are willing to give me the training, I can give injections as well. I can also give myself treatment when it comes to cat scratches and bites as I am well versed, as long as your cat is free of all the bad stuff.

“Mèlanie was such a sweet, calming and understanding sitter. She stayed at our home with 2 of our anxious dogs and cared for them and our home as if they/it were her own. She took regular pictures and sent updates, letting us know that all was well while we were away. We will for sure be using her services again in the future.”


“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.”


“Great communication, total pro and managed our 13 week old puppy with grace and courage :) Came back home to happy dogs and a super clean home, we couldn't ask for more!! Claudia is timely and organized, provided excellent updates and communication during our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again, so many thumbs up. Thank you Claudia for taking such amazing care of our pack!!”


“This was the most wonderful choice of dog sitter. Our dog Centy was happy and well taken care of while we were away. Since we were very worried about Centy, we constantly received photo reports. We highly recommend Kenny's services!👍🐕🥰”


About: I’m glad to be able to help you and your dog meet your dog’s needs! Ive learned so much about taking care of dogs in different areas just through my own dog and many care & training resources. I currently own a 2 year old mutt who sensitive and has some reactivity issues and is actually my first dog. Hence I understand the struggle of getting your dog’s energy out safely and of course in fun and efficient ways! She was given to me as a puppy out of impulse and I had no experience nor knowledge about dogs. Let’s just say she needed a lot of training after her few months with us. I’ve worked very closely with her trainer who specializes in nervous, fearful and sensitive dogs and even worked under her by walking one of her clients for a short while. Just thought that experience, I can say I have learned a lot of behavioral training & canine body language information from my dog’s trainer, and from other reliable resources that has become useful with helping my dog and even other dogs with fixing small behavioral problems especially on walks like pulling, fixating, and reacting such as barking and lunging. On the other hand I’ve learned how to allow dogs be dogs, providing food that actually nourishes their bodies and overall keeping them safe. I like to use a lot of treats for positive reinforcement but also use the owners provided leash as guidance. I may become quite aware of certain behaviors and I have some tools to aid it in the moment, but desired results rests in the owner’s consistency. Other than that, I’ll do my best to meet your dogs’ mental and physical needs, and especially give them breaks on walks when needed! Hopefully I could also keep it fun for them as well:) A couple rules I do stick with are that I don’t allow dogs who don’t know each other to meet on leash and I try to walk a good distance away from a dog walking nearby to avoid any over excitement or aggression. I will also have beef liver treats on me on all my walks, so feel free to leave any kibble or treats that will suit their preferences. Im currently working part-time but im still figuring out if morning or evening will work out best for me. For now I’ll mostly be available Mondays to Fridays 7am-11am I live in a apartment with my 20lb mutt. They do not allow visiting animals therefore I don’t not offer boarding services. I crate my pup so if you need your pup to be crated and such after a walk I’ll be happy to help. After walks I also like to wipe my dog’s paws as our apartment is carpeted, therefore i wouldn’t mind wiping your dogs paws if you have provided materials and IF of course your dog is comfortable with their paws being touched.

“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!”


“Alexus did an amazing job with our girl, Hippie! She stayed with her while we were gone for 2 weeks and she took excellent care of our dog. She updated us with photos and videos, and we returned to a happy and healthy pup. She is very sweet with our dog and make sure she got in her walks every day, even working around the extreme heat. Alexus also had to deal with some unexpected home issues (ant infestation, fallen tree branches, etc.) while we were gone, and idd a great job helping us and communicating with us throughout. I would highly recommend Alexus and Hippie can't wait to have her visit again!”


“Dionna was very professional and caring. Our pup Sadie took to her immediately. Dionna sent photos and kept us updated on Sadie’s activities. I would recommend Dionna and would have her sit for us again.”


“Sofia was a lifesaver for a last minute booking. She was so loving, attentive and loving with our Ozzy. She was professional and respectful in our home and sent me constant updates, pictures and videos which gave me peace of mind. She is so talented and also does dog portraits on the side. Check out her work: https://instagram.com/maga_personalizados_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I would love to hire her again! She was one of my best sitters yet!! ?”


“Fantastic petsitter. Flexible when our flight was delayed. Became besties with our anxious pup within about 30 seconds of his arrival. She was so happy when we got home, but not like oh-my-god-where-have-you-been happy. It was more I'm-a-happy-puppy-and-yay-you're-home. Will be happy to book him again!”

Eagan was great with the dogs. I needed a last minute sitter for our dogs and glad we found Eagan. He was very responsive and very respectful of our place. We got back later than expected and Eagan was able to stay longer with our dogs and we greatly appreciate that! Our dogs grew very comfortable with him very quickly. We will definitely be rebooking with him again for our future needs. We highly recommend Eagan. Thank you so much!

Karina took care of our old German Shepherd Addie, three hens, and three chicks in our home again, this time for 10 days, and she did a great job as usual, including extra duties like plant care, coop cleaning, dog bath, mail handling. Addie was happy and healthy when we returned. Thanks Karina!

Yas was an excellent sitter for my little dog, cat and our house! Very responsible, took wonderful care of everything and actually took my dog on daily walks. Sometimes more than once a day!! She also helped to water our plants and take in our mail. When we came home everything was neat and clean. Lovely and responsible person in every way and I highly recommend her.

Lily was great! I am so thankful that she was able to watch our girl BlueLu while we were visiting Santa Clara for a Monday night football game. Lily was able to accommodate a time change, and even arrived early. BlueLu warmed up to Lily as soon as she arrived, which made me feel that she was in good hands. We really appreciated the care Lily took with our girl that suffers separation anxiety.

Desiree is absolutely amazing! My 3 pups absolutely adore her and she takes incredible care of them. She went above and beyond, even during the holiday, to make sure they were well taken care of, loved, played with, and happy. She also kept my home sparkling clean! I’m extremely grateful that she was available and I will book her to watch my furkids any time I leave in the future!

Grace was amazing she house sit for us after another sitter wasn't doing a great job. She was super communicative and her dog Coop became close friends with ours. Our pets were happy and the house well cared for when we returned. I'll definitely be booking again. Thank you for saving the day Grace!

We love Jessica! She was very caring and our dog was clearly very comfortable with her - she sent lots of photos, including one of them cozied up on the couch <3 We loved the way she prioritized spending time with our dog and keeping him busy while we were away. We’re excited to utilize her services again :)
