“Anaïs did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town this weekend! The cats were well taken care of, and she sent great pictures of playing with them and giving them some love while we were away. Will definitely rebook next time we need a sitter!”



“Miriam dropped in on Black Kitty for three days. Her communication was thorough and care was excellent. I appreciated all the photos that were sent while I was away, and also an update when Black Kitty had appeared to get into a piece of styrofoam that I left on my desk. (She secured the styrofoam and put it out of reach.) I would not hesitate to have Miriam care for Black Kitty again.”


“Alex was so incredibly flexible and was able to extend our booking for an extra day to accommodate my travel plans, no questions asked. The process was seamless and it was such a relief knowing my kitties were well taken care of despite the schedule changing. Don’t know what I would have done without her!!”


“Very thoughtful and good with the cat!”


About: I have raised 5 dogs since 1989, 2 of which I raised from puppy to senior, and the other 3 I adopted as rescue dogs (one has since passed and currently I am raising 2 of them). These years of dog parenting involved feeding, bathing, training, walking, and all vet visits. I worked two and a half years at Wag Hotels, San Francisco as a Customer Service Representative which entails checking in and checking out dogs who were utilizing the facilities. I frequently engaged with both clients and dogs on regular basis. I also volunteered two years at Beyond Rescue where I supervised about 12 dogs in a pen, observe temperament and assist with the adoption process or help families find their forever dog. With one to three day’s advance notice, I can readily be available to dog sit. I would like to meet and greet all new clients in a public place prior to dog sitting. I would check for all exit points in the client home, and ensure I see how the dog can be relieved (through a yard, only through front door or other door). On walks, I would also observe dog temperament when passing other dogs on the sidewalk and other public settings, and make adjustments like crossing the street where necessary.

“Preanne is thoughtful, reliable and flexible! Would definitely hire her again!”


“Allison was fantastic with our cat Harriet! We wanted Harriet to be kept company while we went on a trip, and she warmed up to Allison right away. Allison was punctual each visit, and kept us up to date with everything. Highly recommended!”


“Eddie has been wonderful! I’ve definitely become a repeat client! He’s super reliable and very available, and he’s even cleaned up my elderly dog’s messes when he’s come to walk her. I appreciate all the great photos he sends of my dog and great descriptions of their time together.”


About: I’ve lived with pets of all kinds since I was a kid! I’ve often pet-sat for friends and my dog Chepa often joins me for dog-walking if the owner is comfortable! I work from home and am always taking breaks for your dog to be comfortable and walk around Blue Heron Lake! On the weekends and evenings I am often engaging my pets in enrichment activities. I will keep in communication at the frequency you need for peace of mind! I’ve often left my pets with friends and pet sitters and understand the need to know your sweet pet is doing well!

“Deirdre is wonderful. Right off the bat when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is warm, friendly and was great with Stella. She communicated and provided great pictures of her visit. I’m so happy to have found her and can’t wait to use her again.”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life. From my childhood pets, to helping my Aunt who bred German Shepherds, to volunteering at rescues, to owning and operating my own dog walking business for over 5 years, to hanging out with my current dog Orion, I love spending time our four legged friends! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages and take care of them accordingly. Each dog has their own personality and it is important to interact with them based on it! Whether timid or playful, young or old, I will make sure our time together is as much fun as possible. I am also Pet First AID & CPR certified so you can rest easy while you are away. My 12 year old mix-breed Orion and I walk at least 2 miles a day! Rain or shine I make sure we get out for some fresh air a minimum of twice a day. I always request very specific instructions for how you want your furry friend to be taken care of. I also always make sure my clients are comfortable with giving me access to their homes and will do what ever I can to reassure them that their home and their family member are in trustworthy hands!

About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Future Nurse Offering Compassionate Pet Care ❤️🐾🦮 I’m a future nurse and animal lover with a lifelong passion for caregiving and animals. I’ve cared for pets at all life stages, including bottle-feeding kittens to supporting seniors with medical needs, or those who simply just need walking and some extra play-time 🐶🎾🐕🦺! I administered IV fluids, gave daily medication, and provided supportive to my own cat battling lymphoma. That experience, along with fostering kittens, volunteering at shelters, and even working with human patients in hospitals, has strengthened my ability to provide attentive, loving care. I have tons of experience walking dogs and providing in-home sitting for both cats and dogs, as well as other small animals. Whether your pet is young, old, or needs extra support, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My strong passion for caregiving both through pet care and my education as a pre-nursing student sets me apart. My passion for healthcare strengthens my ability to prioritize safety, attentiveness, and compassion in every interaction. I provide personalized, reliable care that comes from the heart. As a part-time pre-nursing student taking fully asynchronous, virtual courses, I have the flexibility to care for pets on a schedule that works best for you, 7 days a week. Because my coursework is self-paced and online, I’m able to give your pet my full, hands-on attention, whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I care for all pets with patience, love, and close attention, whether they’re energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra support. BOARDING 🏠 I can do hourly bathroom breaks based on your pet’s needs. I have a decent sized yard that is fenced in and private. This is great for playing with dogs in between walks if your pet enjoys fresh air and a little sun. I live with one pet, another cat who is healthy! She is friendly and gets along with all animals. She is vaccinated and spayed. When providing boarding, especially for dogs, it is important to me that they work well with cats. I only board one dog at a time. HOUSE-SITTING 🏘️🔑 In your home, I follow your routine exactly to keep things consistent and comfortable for your pet. I can provide hourly bathroom breaks. SAFETY AND TRUST 🤝 With my background in healthcare and passion for caretaking, I bring a calm, safe, and reliable presence to every home I enter. You can rest assured knowing your pet is with someone with a passion for not only animals but animal health and safety. I have a lot of experience with animals and can be trusted, whether your pet is staying with me or if I am staying in your home!

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family pets for a few years and feel comfortable with most sizes and breeds. I love going on long walks with energetic dogs but also appreciate a slower pace. I have plenty of patience and care deeply for pets. I make sure to give them all the cuddles and attention they need. I’m currently working part time and have all my mornings open until noon.

I only asked her to feed and walk my 3 years old Doberman, but she went above and beyond, spending extra time playing with her and taking her on a long walk.

Highly recommend Ana to anyone looking for a responsible, loving caregiver!”


Donnell L.
“He is incredibly loving and kind towards pets, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about their well-being. I have a nearly 90-pound dog who can be a bit of a handful, especially with her tendency to pull on walks, but Donnell handles her with ease and patience. It’s comforting to know that my dog is in such good hands whenever I need to leave. I highly recommend Donnell to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter”


Marissa W.
“Marissa is a good friend of mine and she's watched my dog Tofu previously. Marissa is a very careful and caring dog watcher.
