Our cat is very quirky and particular. But Kellie took great notes and followed through with all of his weird needs. She provided fantastic care.

Wenxin was able to drop-in for our golden retriever puppy, Noodle, on last minute notice and was very flexible in accommodating our changing schedule! She was quick to understand and take care instructions for Noodle and proactive if anything comes up. She also kept me closely updated about him at home which I greatly appreciated! I would feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her again and definitely recommend booking her for your pup :)

Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond and is always on time. She is so patient and kind with my two schnauzers (~17lbs and ~47lbs). I have a very hard time trusting anyone with my dogs but Rebecca made me feel so much at ease and I trust her completely. I am so thankful for Rebecca and have nothing but amazing things to say about her!

Leticia is an outstanding dog trainer/walker! I had issues with my dog constantly pulling on the leash during walks. After just a few sessions with her, he became much more polite and now walks calmly by my side. I’ve seen how she trains dogs using her positive reinforcement approach, and it’s truly impressive how quickly she earns their respect and trust. I cannot recommend Leticia’s services highly enough. Whether you need someone to dogsit or train your dog, you can be confident that she will exceed your expectations, and your dog will come back better behaved than ever.

Nicole has been an amazing pet sitter for me for years. She does exactly what I ask and treats my dog Boomer like it was her own. She is punctual and responsible and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. You need her in your life if you have dogs!

George M. has taken care of our Labrador retriever when we had to go out of town for a few days. He is reliable and show up on time. Our dog is energetic and high spirited. George gives him clear direction in challenging walks at a brisk pace. Communication is timely and reassuring. George sends periodic messages and photos of what they did that day. Our house is in good condition upon our return. Our neighbors comment on the loving care he gives to our dog. A neighbor just hired him to take care of her labradoodle. She came home to a happy dog. If you are looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, George can get the job done right.

About: I've always been very attached to dogs but I love all the animals small and big. I have a deep fascination for insects, reptiles and birds aswell. I'm usually flexible and have a big sized backyard at my current inlaw unit where dogs can walk around freely and be safe. I love to hike and take animal care very serious. I am certified in information and cloud security (by isc2) and live by security standards which includes privacy. I will listen to instructions of the owner and won't let my clients dogs off-leash without their agreement or my assessment (for example).

I have known Noah Cildir for 4 years now, and during that time he has demonstrated a level of love and passion for animals and their care that I have not seen from anyone else. He is kind, responsible, and informed on pet care. Even though I thought I knew a lot about animal care, he still could find areas where I was lacking, and my pets benefited greatly! Out of all the pet owners I have known over my life, he has demonstrated a passion for improving the lives of his pets the greatest and because of his love for animals I know that he will do that for others pets as well.

About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I understand how important walks are for dogs. Growing up with golden retrievers my whole life, I know they have an abundance of energy that they can’t keep cooped up all day. The same goes for your furry friend as well. I understand that here in Palo Alto there are plenty of dogs who are stuck inside and eager to partake in one of their favorite activities, walking! I understand proper dog walking etiquete and know that you can trust in me to provide your dog with excellent exercise day in and day out. Side note: As a former athlete, if your dog has extra energy, I can take them for a run as well! I currently work full time. Dog walking will work for me on most mornings/afternoons/evenings. I usually have availability from 6am-7am, and availability from 4pm-8pm during weekdays. On weekends I have all day availability. As a dog walker I will make sure that your dog is safe with me. I stick to sidewalks and avoid busy intersections. I also have the patience to handle the different behaviors and habits of dogs during their walk.
