1. Louise W.

“Louise is fantastic. She administered insulin to our little Juliette. She did a meet and greet and was very prompt (which is critical for insulin). We highly recommend Louise!”


2. Simonee V.

“Simonee did a great job taking care of my fur babies! I have three of them to take care of, so appreciated her being able to follow through on the care instructions. I could tell she loves animals based on our meet and greet :), so knew they were in good hands.”


3. Jordan M.


“Jordan is excellent! Great communication and always lets my sometimes nervous/timid pup lead the way! Will definitely keep using Jordan for walks and pet care!”


4. Megan C.

“Megan grew up in a home where dogs were part of our family. We have had 3 different dogs in our home during Megan's lifetime and she has proven to be a loving owner, responsible caretaker and compassionate friend to each of them. She attended training and obedience classes with our current Golden Retriever, Mason. Many of our neighbors over the years have asked Megan repeatedly to take care of their dogs (and cats) while they were away. I would highly recommend Megan to take care of your pets.”


5. Arillia S.

“Arillia took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She scheduled a meet and greet where she met our pet and made lots of questions to ensure she would be ready for her visit. She was thorough and covered all bases. She will be our first choice next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Arillia!”


6. Molly K.
About: Hi! I’m Molly. I grew up taking care of pets and loved every second of it. In my house we have 4 dogs and so I have a lot of experience with walks, feeding, playtime, and (as one of our dogs is a senior) some parts of medical attention such like giving pills. I know dogs can range from very friendly to very nervous and I have experience working with both. I’m a college student at SFSU and so my schedule is pretty open when I’m not in class. Generally, I’m free all day on weekend and in the afternoons/evenings on week days. I love to go on walks and am good with dogs on leash. I also have a lot of energy for playing and simply keeping your pets company. I can adjust my energy level to match your pet and am very punctual, with feeding, with giving medication, with taking dogs out, etc.


7. Lydia F.

“Lydia was great at taking care of our two cats! She sent messages whenever she arrived and gave nice little status updates on what she and the cats did. I loved the photos too :)”


8. Cameron C.

“Our cat loves Cameron! She did such a wonderful job caring for our Nugget while we were away and could tell by the photos he enjoyed her company. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”


9. Jana M.
“Jana regualrly takes care of my 16 yr Australian cattle dog. My dog has specific needs due to her age, and Jana went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for. She was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure to follow all of our instructions regarding my dog being deaf and her mobility requirements. It did feel like she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to care for senior pets. I always, because of my dog's age ask for and receive regular updates via text and photos I do recommend Jana if you are looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter for older dogs who need a bit of attention.”


10. Lexi Q.

About: May 26th - August 26th, 2025: SoCal based I love pets and I really want to help out! I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and many other exotic animals. Taking care of dogs always makes me happy, and I already love to get exercise and walk around my area, so it's a win-win scenario! I’ve had my fair share of playing with puppies and caring for senior dogs who deserve some rest. I enjoy the company of any dog and I cannot wait to meet yours. During the summer, I am free 24/7 in SoCal. After mid-August, the school year starts, in which I am a full-time student studying to become a teacher in NorCal. As a result, during the semester (August-May) my availability changes drastically. I always make sure to carry out any instructions given to me super carefully, and I always send detailed updates that put owners at ease. I understand how important these critters and our homes are to us, so I know to handle them with the utmost care and respect.




11. Carmen L.

“Carmen takes amazing care of the resident cat. They get along great and she is always making sure I am informed on how he is doing and if there is anything amiss. If I could give her 6 stars I would!”


12. Kira K.

“Kira has been a longtime friend of mine and cared for my Australian Shepherd -Ace, in the past, always ensuring he had a great time with daily park hikes and stick-chasing fun. Ace adores Kira and her little pup Dipsy. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will treat your dog like family, I can’t recommend Kira enough!”


13. Jason J.
About: Our family has always loved raising and caring for dogs because they’re part of our family too. We love meeting new dogs and seeing dogs everywhere we go. Our dogs throughout the years have gotten the utmost love, care, and attention—we would do anything for them! You can depend on me to care for your dog since I have the most flexible schedules and crave pup time all the time! Your furbaby will definitely get all the playtime and care (and cuddles) they need. I live in a gated, dog-friendly community where we can walk your dog with peace of mind. Our neighborhood is very quiet—no busy streets. Lots of space and environment to walk around and dogs to meet! I also only host one pet at a time when they board with me so they get all our attention 🙂 I love to play with your furbaby as I do have toys too, or just hangout with then if they’re the chill type. They can also hangout in my over-looking veranda to enjoy the view and nice weather.


14. Carissa A.
“Carissa took great care of Marley!”


15. Karen & Jeffrey C.
About: We are parents to a wonderful rescued chihuahua terrier who is our world. We'll take care of your pet as if they were our own. I have a somewhat flexible work schedule and my partner works from home. Between the two of us, your pet will be well-taken care of! We have a very large fenced in backyard which is a rarity in SF. The dogs will have supervised unleashed roaming and a chance for a backyard sniffari. We would love to meet your pet to make sure it's a good fit, and we would follow instructions from the pet parents to a tee. We'll also send many photos because we know how much you miss your pets when you're away!


16. Grace K.
“Grace is amazing! Trust! She is always timely, reliable, responsible, and very easy to work and communicate with. She will make sure that your pet will receive a safe and thorough workout, and you best believe they will also eat really well afterwards. I feel so lucky to be her friend, and I am sure your pet will feel the same if not more after just a quick walk and moment with her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!”


17. Elena D.
“Elena has cared for my pets many times and she is absolutely wonderful! She authentically loves each and every animal she cares for. Elena has many years of experience caring for pets through her work as a vet technician, her years of studying animal biology as well as being a loving pet owner herself. She has a gift of connecting with animals that is truly unique! You will not find a better person to care for your pet!!”


18. Mick Z.

“Mick was a great drop in cat sitter. He was quick and responsive and always punctual. Our cats take a while to warm up to people so they didn't develop a close bond with Mick. However, the important thing is they were well fed and energetic when we came back from vacation.”


19. Rongrong L.

“Grateful for Rongrong for stepping in at the last minute for a drop in visit in the morning 🌻 for Tanzi 🐈⬛ and Baba 🐈. Rongrong checked in on the kitties, took photos of the kitties and made sure they had their breakfast and treats.”


20. Ellie W.
“My wife and i had our honeymoon in Tokyo for 2 weeks over the new year and Ellie volunteered to cat sit for our sweet boy Romeo. Romeo is very picky about food and is very reserved and shy, especially around new people, but within 2 days, Ellie was sending us pictures of him napping in her lap and showing his belly for some rubs. She took excellent care of him and now when she comes over to hang out he is not reserved in the slightest. Can’t recommend Ellie enough!”
