4. Yusan H.
“Yusan is great with dogs. I've been relying on her for more than two years to babysit my golden retriever when I'm in all-day meetings or traveling. She always takes great care of him, and she's very punctual and attentive to details.”
5. Marianna T.
“We had a great experience with Marianna as our cat sitter! She took excellent care of our cats, making sure to learn their routines, which really helped them feel comfortable. She was attentive and sent lots of photos, which we loved. I'd recommend her to others and would definitely ask her to pet-sit again.”
6. Trinh P.
“My dog is very particular and has a routine that he's been used to. Trinh was able to make him feel comfortable and most importantly safe and loved. My dog doesn't get excited when seeing most people but with Trinh, he gets thrilled to see her everytime. It's this reaction that I have a complete sense of relief when I need to be away from my furbaby and leave him with her - sometimes he doesn't even want to leave! I highly recommend Trinh to watch your furbaby. She'll make sure your furbaby has the best day ever!”
7. Dylan W.
“Dylan was great! He was able to check in on our dogs without much advance notice and followed instructions on how to get into our place without a hitch. We were able to have a nice day trip away from home and come home to happy loving dogs because of Dylan!”
8. Edwin L.

“Tyson is fantastic”
12. Christine C.
“I have seen Christine handle two of my friend's dogs in the last 6 months. In both instances, she was able to provide the dog with the proper care they need. In addition, she usually goes out of her way to make sure they received tons of attention. In the cases when instruction is unclear, she would reach out to the owner to clarify the unclear part. Both of the dogs she looked after are in love with her! I would recommend her to anyone!”
13. Cindy D.

17. Ashley M.
“This was our second time hiring Ashley to catsit Merlin, our eleven-month-old kitten, and our first time leaving him for longer than a week. Ashley's detailed reports and prompt communication gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation, and she regularly went above and beyond by spending extra time with Merlin or dropping by multiple times each day. We will definitely work with Ashley in future, especially in light of the strong rapport she's established with Merlin, and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”
18. Keyan M.
“Keyan has regularly watched my 3 cats while I have been out of town. He is great at following instructions for care as well as thinking on his feet when more is needed. Beyond the expected duties of food, water, and litter box, Keyan can care for older cats that require medication while also making time to play with my younger energetic cats. In addition to his comfort with animals, Keyan is a responsible guest in my home and always leaves the place clean for my return.”
19. Lisa L.
About: I love both dogs and cats! I grew up with a cat, and over the pandemic, I fostered two cats for several months each (through Pets in Need in East Palo Alto)! I've taken care of cats with varying needs, including a shy, elderly foster who needed medication and a younger, more sociable cat. In the past, I volunteered at the local animal shelter (Humane Society) in my hometown, where I helped socialize kittens, and made drop-in visits to care for my neighbors’ cats when they were out of town. I'm very comfortable house-sitting / dropping in to take care of cats given my experience. As of fall 2023, I'm now a dog owner! I rescued Lenny, a young, energetic labradoodle who was a long-time stray, and take care of him with my partner Nathan. We love taking care of Lenny and meeting other dogs. Lenny loves to play with other dogs around his size, so we've decided to offer doggy daycare services on the days we're at home to provide care for your dog and company for ours :) We also have experience managing leash reactivity and separation anxiety. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, my partner and I both work from home, so your dog will have supervision from the both of us. We usually feed and walk our dog in the morning and in the evening, while most of the daytime is spent indoors with potty breaks every few hours. With enough notice, I am happy to make space on my weekends to care for your pet. I have experience making sure pets take their medication and that they don't run outside or get exposed to toxic plants or foods they shouldn't be eating. In my own home, there is no direct access to the outdoors by way of a patio/balcony, so there is no risk of them falling out or getting lost.
20. Mio S.
“Mio is a fantastic animal caregiver with lots of pet experience. She understands animals deeply, as she studied political ecology and conservation for her masters degree. She always knows what they need. Mio is very responsible, never forgetting important pet care tasks. Any pet would be lucky to have Mio looking after them.”
