“Randall was amazing with my 2 dogs. I came home to two very happy and well taken care of puppers. He sent lots of pictures and updates. My boys took to him right away. He made sure he knew everything he needed to know about my boys before I left. I felt very reassured and knew they were in loving hands with him. I will definitely rebook with Randall anytime I need someone to look after my boys. Thank you Randall, Luke and Clarence obviously had a great time with you.”
“Another amazing dog sitting by Kayley!!! The dogs love when she comes to stay to take care of them and its so nice coming back to happy, healthy, and calm dogs after a vacation away! Kayley is great with the dogs and also great at sending updates and pictures.”
“We reached out to Cordigen with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible from our very first messages and meeting. She immediately recognized that our pup needed support with calm greetings and was so thoughtful in how she approached her, speaking softly and offering gentle, kind reminders to Scout not to jump. Throughout the day, Cordigen was wonderfully communicative, sending photos and updates so we always knew how Scout was doing. She even played calming music on the TV and was happily playing with Scout in the backyard when I arrived home. At pickup, she gave a detailed rundown of the day, from bathroom breaks to how she helped Scout stay calm when she heard noises outside. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Cordigen as a sitter and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for dog care, especially for dogs who may be a bit anxious or need extra help staying calm. Thank you, Cordigen!”
“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”
“Ian is exceptional! They took wonderful care of our dog, cat, and home—everything was in great shape when we returned. Ian provided regular updates, allowing us to relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our pets and home were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Ian!”
“Evelyn took care of our rescue dog like her own. She made sure to review our guide in advance (our dog has some triggers based on his shelter experience). She was very affectionate and our dog ended up cuddling with her. Would love to book Evelyn again!”
“Michelle was fantastic! We needed someone last minute to housesit our hyper husky. Michelle got back to us promptly and was responsible, trustworthy and professional. I’m so glad I met her, and I definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“Sam was amazing! Super reliable, great with my dog, and kept me updated the whole time. My pup was happy and well cared for. He also made sure that Jager had his pee, poop and walk time! Highly recommend!”
“Alanna was wonderful with my 11-week old puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed on how he was doing. Also, she worked on reinforcing his trainer which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Alanna!”
About: Grew up with Labrador Retrievers throughout my childhood as family members, and now own a 10-year-old chocolate lab named Sophie and a 3-year-old chocolate lab named Patsy. Lots of experience with puppies, as Sophie had 6 of her very own. I am a PhD student at LSU who will be home in Menlo Park for the summer (May-August), visiting my parents. I am available to stay at your house with your dog(s) or to do dog-walking as well. I have cared for pets in my home, as well as house sitting and dog walking, and treat them as if they were my own.
“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”
“Marina was an excellent dog sitter and house sitter. She showed so much care and enthusiasm for our dogs’ wellbeing and our girls loved her. ☺️ She took great care of our house as well. Would definitely recommend her and hope to utilize her services again whenever needed in the future.”
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet like family. I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your dog’s unique personality, whether they need high-energy outdoor exercise or just peaceful, comforting companionship at home. As a student, I easily balance pet care around my classes. I handle walks and feeding before morning lectures and return home during campus breaks for check-ins. At-home study blocks double as companionship time, while evenings and study breaks are reserved for longer walks and active play. I am fully dedicated to in-home care at this time and do not host pets at my own residence. If something changes I'll update this info. Thanks
About: I spoil the pets I care for. Your dog gets exercise and genuine companionship. Your cat gets a safe, entertaining environment where they’re actually the center of attention. I’ve loved my own Maltese Poodle for six years and my British Shorthair cat is basically my child, that’s the energy I bring. No rushing, no distractions. Just real care that makes your pet feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I maintain a flexible schedule that accommodates pet sitting requests. For weekday bookings, I require a minimum of three hours notice. For weekend appointments, I ask for twenty-four hours notice to ensure I can give each pet my full attention and plan accordingly. My work schedule allows me to prioritize pet care commitments, and I’m selective about the bookings I take on so I can deliver reliable, quality care every time. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my top priority. In my home, I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards — doors and gates are always checked, and I make sure any potentially harmful items (foods, plants, cleaning products) are out of reach. I treat every pet like they belong there, giving them time to settle in at their own pace. In a client’s home, I follow their routines and instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any quirks or preferences their pet has. I believe the best care comes from consistency and attention, so I stay observant and responsive to how each animal is feeling throughout my visits or stays. I always leave the home the way I found it (or better), and I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident while they’re away.
“Cats were happy when we got home. Instructions were followed. Our place was left very tidy and clean. We received lots of pictures and updates. I would absolutely recommend Kiansu and will be using her services again.”
“Sandra was very responsive and was flexible with dealing with our shifting schedule. Miso, our chaweenie, was very happy with Sandra watching her. Will be asking her to watch Miso again soon. Thanks Sandra!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We honestly think our lab, Ranger, had more of a vacation than we did. We received constant updates and photos, and it was clear he was getting tons of walks and playtime. Beyond the incredible pet care, we returned to a spotless house and felt at total ease knowing both our dog and our home were in such great hands. We highly recommend them—your pets will be so well cared for!”

Julissa was great when I recently booked her for house sighing my dog. She was accommodating and flexible when I had travel delays. She also sent lots of updates and photos. She also was available and replied promptly to any messages. My dog had a lovely time with her and she left the house very neat and tidy as well. I would love to have her dog sit again!
Kayleen was one of the best, if not the best, cat sitters we've had. Our cat Sparky is our fur baby and very affectionate and attached to people. I could tell Kayleen really delighted in Sparky and provided the companionship that he needed. She took him outside on his cat leash and let him wander around and brushed him out daily, both of which he really loves. Kayleen is kind and reliable and we are truly thankful we met her and look forward to having her watch Sparky again!
Chelsea took amazing care of our fur baby while we were away for spring break and he had the absolute best time! From sunset walks along the Bay Trail to endless cuddles on the couch, he was spoiled just as much as he usually is. On top of the top-tier pet care, she looked after our house as if it were her own. It was wonderful to return to a home that was perfectly tidy and even more peaceful than we left it. We can’t recommend Chelsea enough, she’s a true professional and a genuine animal lover.
Julie Mae was so outstanding I was sad for Munchi when I came home, and Munchi might have been sad too because she spent the first night I was back walking around looking for Julie Mae. Julie Mae is very kind, perceptive, and caring. She also communicates well, and really removed any worries for me while I was gone. She even took Munchi on a picnic!
Laura is a wonderful dog and house sitter. She is responsible and asks questions to understand our dogs' different needs. She communicates well with photos and updates. We can easily be away from home knowing she is there to tend to the needs of our two Cardigan Welsh Corgis and our home and land.
11/10 Highly recommend Kiansu! She took care of our cat and dog and she did a fantastic job! Our cat normally doesn’t like sitters but with Kiansu she made her feel so comfortable! She was amazing as well with our little dog Remington She sent us so many pictures during our trip! She was amazing!
Sarah is amazing! She just watched our dogs on short notice, and I was so grateful as I was panicking about having coverage for a last-minute overnight. The dogs love her, and she takes great care of them. I'm sure they get more attention from her while she is at our house than they do from us! I highly recommend her for pet sitting.
Loren is great! She on the ball quick to respond and update us. We had her house sit and care for our 8 month old pup and 2 cats. She sent pics regularly and left our house clean. She even restocked bread and milk! She also came for a meet/ greet and a separate hour trial dog walk w us on her own time. We would highly recommend Loren for your pet care.
Kelsey was an amazing house sitter! I was so grateful to have her help!! The cat's and dog and fish and plants were all happy and healthy when we got home. And the house was clean and in perfect shape. I will definitely be asking her to help again. She is the best!!
