“Aik was amazing! He handled my dog’s unexpected quirks with ease!!! I can tell she was loved and very well cared for. Plus he took great care of my house too! Would recommend and rebook anytime. Thanks Aik!!!!”

“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”

“This was Keith’s first time with our dogs and home. He asked a lot of good questions before and during our time away. He sent us pictures and updates daily and left our house in good condition. Much appreciated, Keith!”

“Caroline was a great sitter for our dog, Lily! She was very communicative, shared so many cute pictures while we were away, and followed our routines to keep Lily happy :) we would definitely recommend Caroline!”

“Caroline was a lifesaver! The thought of leaving our kitty at home with a stranger for 16 days was nerve-wracking, to say the least! Thankfully, we found Caroline, and she took the anxiety out of the equation. She took care to follow out instructions and maintain Tatsu's kitty routine with minimal disruption. In addition, Caroline gave regular updates and communicated in detail about how things were going. It was clear from her communication that Tatsu had settled in well with her new caregiver. When we returned home, we found a healthy and content little cat and a spotless home. We are deeply grateful for Caroline's cat sitting and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.
“Dawn treated our dog Maple like she was her own. She was extremely communicative throughout our trip and put our minds at ease. Maple was noticeably happier and calmer than we've ever seen her when we are away from home. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Caroline did an incredible job of taking care of my little Chihuahua and my home. When I got home my dog was happy and my home was clean. She is very conscientious. I would hire Caroline in the future for dog sitting.”

“Amazing! She took care of our dog and cat and they were really happy. She sent us a lot of photos and communicated often we are going to book again with her!”


About: I've cared for my own cat for seven years and spent the past few years as a working student at a horse stable, where I train, ride, and handle the full daily care of horses. Outside of the stable, I have experience walking and caring for dogs, and animals have always been central to my life. I bring that same attentiveness, calm, and genuine love to every dog I walk. I work full-time in San Carlos with hours ending at 5pm, so I'm available for dog walks every weekday evening after 5. I'm also at a horse stable on weekends as a working student, but I can coordinate weekend availability depending on the week. I genuinely look forward to making dog walking a consistent and reliable part of my routine. I provide walks in the client's neighborhood, keeping dogs on leash at all times and staying fully attentive throughout. My years working with horses have trained me to stay calm, read animal behavior, and respond quickly and safely to unexpected situations. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my first priority.
About: I've been an animal-lover my whole life <3 I've had pets ranging from hamsters, to birds, to turtles, and now a bunny and cat! I have experience caring for senior dogs (my own fur baby was 16 when she passed), and have helped take care of friends' and family's pets. I work east coast hours, so I am up early and finish my work day in the early afternoon. I'm also available weekday afternoons and evenings. I have experience pet sitting and housesitting for friends. I can get up to take care of pets early or stay up later as needed.
“Angelica was efficient, friendly and very loving to our two Brittneys. One is young with lots of energy and one is old and is more sedentary and she balanced their needs perfectly. I loved that she sent many pictures. It made our time away from our home care free! Happy to act as a reference for her! Jan”

“Cecelia was fantastic! She sent pictures throughout the stay and left my home exactly as she found it. She was also great with Otto! He was happy and content when I arrived home. 🙏”


About: I’ve worked with all different kinds of dogs big and small so I know what to expect with any dog, I love all dogs aswell I am a College athlete who is home for the summer so I am available during all times of the day and sometimes during night I walk, feed, pick up poop, and bathe my own dog and I also help out with my two siblings dogs when they come to visit

About: I've grown up always volunteering to care for dogs while my friends were on vacation. I used to have an English bulldog named Elvis who I loved SOOOO much. I just graduated college and moved home, and my building doesn't allow dogs, so I figured this would be a great way to interact with some :) I love ALL dogs no matter the shape or size, and would love to walk your dog/give him or her all the cuddles. I will be out of town May 26 - June 10, and then after that my 9-5 won't start until July 27th so I'm literally free whenever and just want to make some extra $$ and see dogs. I do still plan to dog sit and walk when I start though! I will make sure I understand really thoroughly what your dog needs like how often to walk, feed, etc so I can keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible while you're away. I will take thorough notes on whatever else they may need! :)) And I will make sure to ask about what they like so I can spoil them while you're away(within your limits) by feeding them special treats and giving them some extra scratches if they have a personality where they like/need that <3
“Alia stepped in to help watch Gizmo when my regular sitter was unavailable. Im always nervous when I have to book someone new but Alia made all of those worries disappear. Alia was available for an in person meet and greet and sent lots of pictures and updates while I was out on my trip. I didn’t worry one bit because of how proactive she was. I will def book with Alia if a similar scheduling issue comes up again.”

Caroline was amazing with our rescue dachshund Tella. She was so empathetic to us and Tella who just lost the other half of her bonded pair, and took Tella on with such patience since we all didn’t quite know how she’d handle being dog-watched alone for the first time. Caroline also messaged regularly with so many picture updates to comfort us knowing we probably had more separation anxiety than Tella did! As a pet owner of a somewhat difficult rescue dachshund - and if you know dachshunds you know what I mean- i was worried about finding the right sitter and Caroline went above and beyond.

This is the second review I've written for Larissa, and it is well deserved. She is reliable, professional, and a good communicator, which gives me peace of mind when I travel. I used to feel stressed leaving my dog behind, but now I genuinely feel at ease knowing she is in such good hands. My dog absolutely adores her, and it's clear that there is genuine care and affection between them. I'm so grateful to have found someone I trust so fully with my dog.
