“Michael watched our dog, Atticus, for two days while I was out of town. He provided me with consistent updates with pictures and he walked her twice a day.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Gifu look after my Golden Retriever, Maya, while I was away on vacation and I would definitely recommend him to watch my pup again. He took the time to understand Maya’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences, ensuring that she felt comfortable and well-cared for. He provided updates, which reassured me that Maya was in great hands. Maya was happy and healthy when I returned so I recommend Gifu to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. He exceeded all my expectations and made my time away stress-free knowing that Maya was receiving the best care.”

“Sally was absolutely amazing with my dog Sadie during an overnight boarding stay. I was worried that my dog would experience separation anxiety, but Sally sent plenty of pictures showing Sadie having a wonderful time. This eased my concerns immensely and allowed me to focus on my work trip. Sadie even got along with Sally's dog, and Sadie does not like a lot of other dogs. Sally followed all of my instructions and kept in constant contact with me. She was even flexible when my return flight was delayed. Overall, I'm so glad I trusted Sally with my dog, and I would definitely do so again. I would strongly recommend her to any discerning pet parent!”


About: **Experienced Dog Lover & Safe Haven for Your Furry Family** Dogs have been central to my life - I’ve cared for 6 beloved companions over the years, mostly rescues from shelters and the streets, plus one cherished family poodle. My experience spans various breeds including two pit bulls, a border collie, a Romanian raven (street dog), and currently Apollo, our one-year-old smooth collie who’s wonderful with other dogs and actively training. **Your Dog’s Safety & Comfort Come First** Our home features a fully fenced, secure yard designed to keep dogs safe - no escape routes here! Your pup will have doggy door access so they can move freely between house and yard. We maintain an active lifestyle with daily multi-mile walks, regular dog park visits, beach trips, and hiking adventures, but we’re happy to adjust our routine to match your dog’s specific needs and energy level. **Personalized Care & Attention** I limit my care to a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives the individual attention they deserve. Having raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including working with rescues who needed extra patience and care, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pet needs gentle encouragement, structured exercise, or just lots of love and attention, they’ll receive personalized care in our home. Your dog won’t just be watched - they’ll be genuinely cared for as part of our family. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine - it IS my routine. My days naturally revolve around my dogs’ needs and well-being. I start each morning with walks and feeding, and throughout the day I’m actively engaged with them whether we’re training, playing in the yard, or just spending quality time together. Evenings often include longer walks or trips to the dog park. Having cared for dogs for years, this rhythm feels completely natural to me. When I’m caring for client dogs, they simply join this established routine that already prioritizes canine happiness and health. As a homemaker, I’m available throughout the day to monitor, interact with, and respond to any needs that arise. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my life - it’s woven into the fabric of how I live. **In My Home:** Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully-fenced yard with doggy door access for indoor/outdoor freedom. I limit care to a maximum of 2 dogs to ensure individual attention and maintain a safe, escape-proof environment. Daily care includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise tailored to your dog’s needs, and plenty of companionship. We’ll follow your pet’s routine while incorporating our active lifestyle of walks, dog parks, and outdoor adventures. Your dog sleeps indoors with access to comfortable spaces throughout the house. I provide regular updates with photos so you know how your pup is doing. Any specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs are carefully followed. My experience with 6 dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, has taught me to read canine body language and respond to different temperaments. **Safety is paramount** - secure fencing, dog-proofed spaces, and constant supervision ensure your pet’s well-being. Your dog will receive experienced, loving care in a safe environment designed with their comfort and security in mind.

“We were very impressed with Anja. She’s incredibly professional, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about animals. She sent us photos and updates about our dog daily. It was evident that our pet was very well taken care of. Highly recommend her!”


About: I love animals and have experience with elderly cats and dogs with special needs, as well as bunnies, chickens and goats. I know it can be difficult to find good care for our furry friends and I am happy to lend a helping hand to other pet owners when possible. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life, caring for them through different stages of their life from kittens/puppies to senior and end-of-life care. I am comfortable with administering medications, dealing with animals with limited mobility or special needs. Below are some examples: 1. I've taken care of an Australian Shepard mix who developed a neurological disease and wasn't able to walk on his own for and I learnt how to support him to go to the bathroom and still leave a meaningful life. 2. Took care of a friend's 15 year old cat with renal failure, doing daily under-skin fluid injections and managing water intake and increased urination. 3. Cared for 16 year-old deaf and blind Border collie, which has started to develop signs of senile dementia. 4. I currenty have have an energetic Australian Kelpi with social anxiety and have experience dealing with "COVID dogs" or dogs who haven't been socialized a lot and may need some extra attention or are nervous around other people and dogs. 5. I worked as a permaculture consultant for 8 months, taking care of 12 chickens and 5 goats for a bay area homestead. I have expertise in providing correct food, and protein supplements for chickens health as well as prevent and spot issues with parasites. I have expertise in goats management, including providing correct supplements for optimal health and parasites prevention, can recognize and deal with signs of anaemia and other health issues. I work from home in the Bay Area, and I am available full-time for house sitting and taking care of your pets at home 24/7. For walk-ins service please enquire. I can board pets at our home, which has a fairly large backyard (about 7,000sq ft) with mature trees and shaded areas. Both my husband and I work from home, I am mostly inside and my husband is mostly outside on our patio. We can keepan eye on your pets at all times and give them plenty of cuddles and attention. Pets can stay inside, sleep on one two large confy dog beds, or on our couch / armchairs (unless you prefer they don't learn that behavior). We live in a really nice and walkable residential neighbourhood perfect for small and extra long walks in a safe environement. We also have a dog washing station at home and I can provide baths for an additional small fee. I have a well behaved Australian Kelpie and two cats.

“Betsy was fantastic! She sent us frequent photo updates and it looks like Maisie was having a great time! Also, based on one picture featuring 5 dogs obediently posed beside their leashes on a walk she possesses some sort of wizardly dog-control powers. Many thanks Betsy for taking such good care of our doggie!”

This was our third time leaving Ethel with María, and she and her family continue to be wonderful! They went above and beyond taking Ethel at extremely short notice when we had a family emergency, and we are so grateful to know she is loved and in great hands when we're away. It's so clear that Ethel is happy with María! We can't recommend María enough. Thanks again!

Deborah is amazing!! Snoopy was taken on a lot of walks. She was kind to him. She fell in love with him and it made the whole experience. It’s just absolutely amazing from the very beginning. I would highly recommend her. She is a very caring person and you can tell she loves animals.

Betsy and Lex do a super job of taking care of our dog. This is the second time we have used them for overnight stays, and both times our dog was wonderfully taken care of. They spend time with him including walks and play time and he is very happy. We truly appreciate the care that Betsy and Lex provide and look forward to having them take care of our dog in the future.

Rhea and her family took absolutely wonderful care of Theo - they kept in near constant contact, providing lots of photos and videos of what they were up to, and he was clearly getting lots of love, attention, and adventures. I’m so grateful for their care. Highly recommend them to anyone!

Emily is super! Our family is really glad that we have her to host our dog while we are going on vacation for a week. Our puppy enjoyed staying with her and has been super happy. Emily is very considerate and has tons of knowledge about dogs. She loves dogs and gives my dog really good care. She keeps us updated with frequent messages, photos and videos, telling us what is going on and how our puppy is doing, so that I knew what is happening to my dog. She kept really great schedule with our dog, feeding her well, taking her out for walks multiple times a day for really long walk. And she took our dog to the park for running and playing on a daily basis. From the videos, I can tell how happy she was. Emily is good at taking care of puppies. Although our puppy is still quite young (8 months old), she seems to have magic and can handle our puppy really well. The best part is that Emily has an adult dog, from which my puppy can learn how to socialize with other dogs. My dog in the end is getting along with Emily's dog very well, and I think they became good friends. I think my dog is going to miss Emily's dog when she gets back home.

Another great stay with Alex and her family! Alex was super communicative with our last minute request to watch our dog Pillow. She made sure to let me know regarding another dog that would be staying and making sure my dog met the other outside to socialize. Alex is always on top of medication and special needs that my dog needs and responds very fast. Would highly recommend her to any children friendly dogs!
