“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”

“I can't thank Jennifer enough for the incredible care they provided to my dog Bella and her five puppies over the Christmas break. Jennifer’s dedication and attentiveness ensured that not only were all the pups well-fed and comfortable, but Bella was also given the utmost love and attention. She went above and beyond to accommodate the unique needs of a new mother and her litter, allowing me to enjoy the holidays with peace of mind. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone in need of exceptional pet care.”

About: I've cared for various pets throughout the last decade: this includes a former stray cat, Yorkshire Terrier, a playful Kelpie, greedy Mountain Cur, and lovable Mutts. I'm currently between jobs and looking to fill my day (between job hunting and interviews) with my passion of looking after pets. I drive and live in Mountain View, close to Palo Alto and Los Altos. I don't have any pets of my own, but I'm an expert in looking after the animals of my friends and coworkers. I'm familiar with crating pets, putting together enrichment treats, pet-proofing a home, and whatever else you may need. I'm aware that pets have a number of different needs and am happy to give a cat space or be your pittie's cuddle buddy.

7. Jackson D.
About: Hi! I'm Jackson, an accomplished pet sitter and animal enthusiast. My degree in Bioengineering, focused on human and animal health has equipped me with a deep understanding of the well-being needs of pets. Throughout my life, I've cared for a diverse range of animals including dogs, cats, snakes, and bearded dragons. Back home in Georgia, my family includes 2 Huskies, 2 Pomskies, and a Pomeranian. Here on campus I care for my beautiful betta fish, Phish, and his five shrimp buddies. As a Master's student in Environmental Engineering and a member of the wrestling team, I blend academic rigor with athletic discipline, offering pets a mix of energetic care, intellectual understanding, and loving attention. This unique combination of skills ensures I can provide specialized care, making me a standout choice for your pet sitting needs. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my current routine, thanks to a lighter course load and wrapping up my fifth year with the Stanford wrestling team. This shift has freed up a significant amount of time, allowing me to dedicate my days to the care and companionship of your pet. With most of my classes conducted remotely and the on-campus ones being notably pet-friendly, I'm in a unique position to provide your furry friend with constant companionship. Whether it's enjoying a change of scenery or embarking on extended walks, I can ensure your pet remains engaged and happy throughout the day. In My Home: Safe & Welcoming Environment: I create a safe, pet-proof space where animals can feel secure and relaxed. My home is equipped to accommodate the playful and restful needs of pets, ensuring they have a comfortable stay. Routine & Exercise: I maintain a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, plenty of exercise, and bathroom breaks. For dogs, this means daily walks in nearby parks or trails, ensuring they get the physical activity and stimulation they need. Personalized Attention: Understanding each pet has its unique personality and needs, I take the time to engage in activities they enjoy, whether it’s playing with toys, cuddling, or providing mental stimulation through games and puzzles. In the Client's Home: Respectful & Attentive: When caring for pets in a client's home, I am mindful to respect their space and maintain cleanliness. I follow any specific instructions provided to ensure the pet's routine is uninterrupted. Continuous Communication: I provide regular updates and photos to owners, ensuring they are informed and can feel at ease knowing their pet is happy and well-cared for. Emergency Preparedness: I am knowledgeable about emergency procedures, including the location of the nearest vet, and I keep all necessary contact information handy to ensure a swift response if needed. Regardless of the setting, my priority is the well-being and happiness of the pets in my care. I adapt to their needs, providing not just physical care but also emotional support, making sure they feel loved and secure in the absence of their owners.

10. Blake S.
“Blake absolutely loves dogs - as much as he loves receiving photos of them, he will be diligent about taking/sending pics of your pups to you while you’re gone. He has a consistent background of dogsitting, giving them the attention needed and abiding closely to the schedule/routines they are used to. If he’s housesitting at the same time, he takes care to leave everything immaculate and respectful. Very responsible and communicative, which gives me peace of mind!”

By the looks of it, my puppy had the best day!! We’ll be rebooking with Tillana for more fun adventures soon!!”

14. Ari One P.
“Choosing Ari as our cat sitter was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our furry family member. During our time away, Ari provided exceptional care and took the time to engage in play sessions. He was very responsible and adhered to our cat’s feeding and medication schedule. With regular updates and thoughtful responses (pics), we were sure our cat was in capable hands. I highly recommend Ari to anyone seeking a cat sitter. I will undoubtedly be reaching out to him for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you Ari!!”
15. Samuel P.
“Samuel's doggy daycare has been a fantastic find for my dog, Candace! Samuel sends pictures and videos a little through the day.

I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality care for their beloved pet. Samuel is very caring, considerate and professional.”
