“Omg! We are so lucky to have found Leah! We had a kitten who is a very scared girl, and Leah was able to help her feel comfortable and safe after she was hiding for a few hours. I was so nervous biscuit wouldn’t warm up and I would be worrying about her during our whole trip but Leah is literally such a pro she was able to ease biscuit out of hiding and comfortable in no time! She sent me pictures and updates to ease my mind. She also was a great chef for our picky eater who eats freeze dried raw food (which other people always struggle to make the way sniffers likes it). Overall we are so pleased with Leah and her husband and would recommend her to anyone!!!!”
“Jessica takes amazing care of our Shiba Inu! Our pup is usually very shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she connected with Jessica right away. We’re so grateful to have found someone our dog trusts and loves!”
“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”
“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”
“Emma was wonderful with my Duke and he is not easy. She was very patient and sweet with him. She sent us pictures often and took great care of him. Emma left everything organized and neat. We will definitely call her again.”

“Super awesome sitter. Gave my pup such a great time. Very attentive and loving. Jax loves Joshua’s pets and yard. Will definitely rebook.”
“Lina has done house sitting for my dog Zues twice now. Each of these trips were long weekend outings. Both times I have come home to my house exactley as I left it and my dog disappointed I'm not Lina! Just kidding! But I can tell he has a good time with her and that she gives him plenty of attention while I'm gone. Lina stays in good contact with me while I'm away, and will send pictures if you ask for them. In a nutshell, Lina is trustworthy, caring for your pet, clean and reliable. In my book that's all you need!”
“Ajanay was fantastic- great communication throughout and I came back to happy pets and a clean home.”
“Gianna is so caring, sweet, compassionate and professional. She cared for our elderly dog, Trixie, for 12 days. Trixie has some medical needs, needs to take meds twice a day and is a very picky eater. Gianna handled it all like a pro! She sent us daily pics and updates which made us feel much better about being away from Trixie. We are so thankful we found Gianna to care for our sweet Trixie!”
About: My whole life I have had pets, from having our own to fostering. In 2012 my family and I started fostering cats and eventually would foster dogs for local rescues. We’ve had a wide range of personalities come through our home, so I am confident I can take good care of your pet! We also had our own pet sitting business starting in 2014, and only just closed in January of 2025, now that my sister and I are out of the house. However, I want to continue to bring families peace of mind that their pets are well taken care of while they are away. I have two cats of my own so waking up early or staying up late to take care of my own pets or yours is easy to fit into my schedule. I am also a contract theatre tech, so my working hours are flexible! I currently do not offer pet stays at my home, however I am happy to stay at yours if needed! I will always follow your rules and instructions closely as I know each pet and owner has their own preferences for how things are done. I’ll treat your space and pets with the same love and respect I give my own!
“The best dog sitter that I have had. She took care of my big dog for a full 7 days and was amazing. If you are thinking of booking, my advice is yes!”
“Without a doubt, the best possible person to take care of your dogs. I felt as if I had been gifted an angel from heaven. She has an unbelievable gift with animals and people. Thank you, Tina.”
“I’ll try to keep this brief, but I can’t say enough great things about Jen. I needed a sitter who could watch my reactive Cattle Dog for nearly two days, at a hotel, during my wedding weekend. Once a month, since early spring, we met up with Jen at the park so she could get to know my challenging boy before the big day. Immediately, we knew she was the right person. Jen is calm, intuitive, and intelligent. She respected his “quirks” and didn’t push him. I’m a self-proclaimed crazy dog mom, and I was terrified to leave to him with someone I didn’t really know. I had never used Rover before. My husband and I were so impressed and grateful for how flexible she was with our crazy wedding schedule. Jen eased a MAJOR stressor for us, and we couldn’t be more appreciative ❤️”
About: I have more than a decade of pet care and sitting experience, including my own fur baby, Noah, and overnight stays with pets of co-workers, relatives, and family friends. I am an effective communicator, team player, and happy to discuss special circumstances or specialty care that you may need. I am active in my community as a teacher and a youth baseball/softball umpire, which gives my schedule flexibility to provide short- or long-term visits, even on short notice. I can provide any type of specialty care that you may need, including but not limited to medication dosing, crating, feeding, or just keeping your pet company for a while.
“Abby was very accommodating and caring watching our high energy puppy for several days. Most importantly, we came home to a happy dog. Abby handled an unexpected medical issue promptly and professionally and we felt confident and at ease with our dog in Abby's care. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and we would definitely use Abby again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pets' unique needs, gained through years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I'm caring for playful puppies, energetic adults, or senior pets with special requirements, I tailor my approach to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and understood. There is a long line of veterinarians in my family therefore I understand the importance of quality care. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a second home for your furry friend, where they’ll receive the same level of care and affection they get from you. Fun fact I hope to become a veterinarian after school! As a college student-athlete, my schedule is flexible. I'm available every day aligning pet care around my class and practice times. Any changes or commitments are communicated in advance for seamless planning and reliable pet care. I am a student-athlete at Berkeley and am looking for a part-time job to spend time and help out with your furry friends. I know your pets mean the world to you, which is why safety is my top priority and I am committed to providing the best care for them so you can rest assured that they are taken care of while you are away.
“Susan is amazing. Our Lola is a little high maintenance and needs a lot of attention. Susan took such great care of her that she was sad to see her leave. We will request Susan in the future and hope that she is available.”
About: I have had dogs for my entire life and I am currently in college on track to become a veterinarian, so animals are a huge part of my life, and this is a great way for me to meet new dogs! I have lots of experience taking care of dogs, whether my own, dog walking, or pet sitting for other families. I currently have a part time internship working at a wildlife rehab hospital, but am more than willing to work around it as needed to fit into your schedule! I am there Sunday-Tuesday but am available in the mornings and at night during those days. I will always make sure your dog/cat is well cared for, has a good time, and gets lots of enrichment and lots of energy out. I’ll make sure your pet gets what they need to be comfortable and happy around me!

Scott R.
“"Leaving my beloved dogs, Rocco and Barkley, in someone else's care always fills me with a bit of anxiety, but Scott Robb quickly put all my worries to rest. As an 8th-grade teacher, Scott clearly brings a unique blend of patience, responsibility, and genuine care to everything he does, and it shines through in his work with animals. Rocco, my senior dog, requires a gentle touch and understanding, and Scott provided him with the most loving and attentive care. It was clear he made Rocco feel comfortable and cherished. And then there's Barkley, my energetic Goldendoodle puppy, who can be a handful! Scott handled Barkley's boundless energy with ease, ensuring he got plenty of exercise and playtime while also maintaining a calm and positive environment. It's truly a testament to Scott's character that he could so seamlessly manage the differing needs of both a senior dog and a rambunctious puppy with such grace and genuine affection. I received regular updates and photos, which truly put my mind at ease. I can wholeheartedly recommend Scott Robb for any pet care needs. He goes above and beyond, and your furry family members will be in the best possible hands!"”

Annalise N.
“Annalise has been surrounded by animals her entire life as her grandfather was a veterinarian. He adopted the unwanted animals or those who had special care needs. Subsequently, his daughter and grand-daughter (Annalise) were always immersed in cats, dogs and birds. Annalise has always exhibited a deep affection, respect and interest towards the care of these pets. I have known Annalise her entire life and witnessed her fondness for not only her family cats and dogs but also those of her neighbors and friends. She is trusted and often requested by others to be a dog walker and pet sitter. Annalise gives that extra TLC beyond the basic expectations and is a clear communicator. These factors engender trust that the pets in her care will be treated with love, the way we treat our own pets. I have trusted Annalise with my dog and had comments from neighbors who witnessed her attentiveness and communication with him. They asked if she babysits kids as they feel she treats the animals with as much devotion and respect.”

“Susan is amazing. Our Lola is a little high maintenance and needs a lot of attention. Susan took such great care of her that she was sad to see her leave. We will request Susan in the future and hope that she is available.”
Aidan S.
“Aidan has helped care for all 4 of my cats (2 of which are special needs). He has been nothing short of amazing. He treats them with such care and love and I always know my pets are in good hands when he is taking care of them. I believe he wants to become a vet so a job like this is right up his alley. I highly recommend him and think he will be a perfect person for the job.”
Kat H.
“Kat was so great with my dog Skipper!! She gave us great updates and took him on nice walks around the neighborhood! Would definitely love to use Kat next time we go out of town!”
