“Amazing work, thank you!”


“Heleen was fabulous. Our cat has quite a temper but is also a love bug and it can be hard to find someone to visit her and keep her company when my husband and I go out of town. Heleen was great, sent lots of updates, and our cat loved her. Will absolutely rebook! .”


“Criss is excellent at communicating every visit, letting me know how Tiger is doing, and taking great care of him. I plan to request her again for an upcoming trip. Thanks, Criss!”


“Alanna took care of our cat and dog when we were out of town for a long weekend. It takes a lot of trust to turn over your pets and home to someone you meet for the first time, but Alanna inspired our trust immediately. She has a warm, friendly, competent manner that left us feeling confident that all was in good hands. Her three times daily visits were punctual, with detailed summaries and great photos. We will definitely reach out to Alana for future visits and recommend her highly!”


About: We are a husband & wife team experienced in giving extra love, care and special attention to senior dogs. After taking care of our loyal companion of 19 years, Bono, we decided to continue our love for dogs by becoming pet sitters. We consider ourselves very experienced pet parents having given the best care possible to our dog through every stage of his life including advanced age and illness. We understand the special needs of senior dogs well, such as administering meds and injections and the extra gentleness and patience they need. We also love the high energy of younger pups and know their needs for good long walks and lots of play time! I work part-time and my hubby works a split-shift, giving us lots of flexibility. We will be glad to take care of your pet throughout the day or after hours and offer boarding services anytime during the week, weekends and even on holidays. We are very flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We live in a roomy, pet-friendly apartment in a very quiet and walkable area of San Carlos, just down the street from a happy dog park. We are very clean, mature and trustworthy pet sitters who will take extra care of your home and pet.

About: I never realized that you can have such a bond with an animal until I got my own. I have had my own dog for 8 years and he is my absolute best friend. I have also dog sat for friends and family and can confidently say that many dogs love me and I love them more! I will treat your dogs as my own. I think that the joy and companionship dogs provide to humans is unlike any other relationship. I come from a clean home and will make sure that I carry that behavior into any clients home. I will communicate with owners to make sure they know their pets are being loved and cared for! I am currently an incoming junior in college and am trying to save up some money. I have lots of free time and would love nothing more than to spend it your pups! Although I don’t have a yard, I have plenty of space near me to take the dogs out and make sure they get their exercise. They will be safe and sound!

About: Bay Area native recently graduated from Cornell University Ph.D. Molecular Biology Program and looking to play with pets part time! Experienced with family cats and small/ medium dogs. Located near Foster City lagoon for scenic walks and have fenced backyard if needed. Currently working part-time but with lots of flexibility during the week and on weekends. Happy to coordinate times that work best for my client’s schedule. I am respectful, attentive, and follow instructions carefully to ensure the best quality care for your pets, especially if I work in my client’s home.

About: I began caring for cats when I was just 10 years old. I've grown up in a family deeply committed to animal welfare; for the past decade, we've been rescuing homeless cats, giving me firsthand experience in addressing the unique needs of cats from diverse backgrounds. My own cat, Miaomiao, is now 11 years old, and caring for her through various life stages has equipped me with the skills to manage both the energetic demands of younger cats and the gentle care required for seniors. My compassion for animals drives me to provide the highest level of care, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their owner's absence. I currently work part-time, which allows me ample flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. I am available from Wednesday to Saturday each week, ensuring I can provide consistent and attentive care during these days. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets. I start by adhering to the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to minimize their stress. This includes feeding, walking, and playtime schedules based on the owner's instructions. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and secure to prevent any accidents. For in-home care, I respect the client's space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring that the pet has a healthy and hygienic environment. Additionally, I provide regular updates to owners, including photos and messages, so they feel connected and reassured about their pet's care. My approach is always tailored to meet the specific needs of each pet, whether they require extra playtime, special dietary considerations, or need medication administration.

“I am so glad to have found Angela to care for my fur baby! She is very responsive, communicative, and flexible which helps to put my mind at ease. I know my dog is in good hands, it is very apparent that Angela is a dog person when I witnessed her first interaction with my Lyla, they immediately hit it off with lots of scritches, play time, and belly rubs. Thank you Angela!”

About: Hi there! My name is Emma and I am a cat lover just like you. I have had cats my whole life so I have gained a ton of experience caring for their every need. I have several years of experience with single cat homes, multi-cat homes and cats with special medical needs. As a parent to a special needs cat myself, I have experience with daily oral medication administration and am conscious of the special attention needed to care for them and monitor their wellbeing. I also know that it can be stressful for our cats when we go out of town or are away at work, and even more stressful having someone new come over. As a cat sitter, I like to take it slow and let your cat get comfortable, moving at their pace. If they prefer to hide away while I get their food prepared, no problem, I’ll give them their space! If they want all the pets and play time, I’m all for it! Ultimately the cat’s comfort and safety are my top priority. I can’t wait to meet you and your cat(s)! 💗 I am available all day on the weekends. During the week, I am usually available all day on Tuesdays. All other weekdays I am available mornings and evenings. I know that it can sometimes be challenging for our kitties to meet new people, so I bring a calm, patient, and kind approach. Ultimately I want your cat to feel comfortable and safe at all times.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. They are the best things in life. I will care for your babies as my own and mine are definitely spoiled 💕 I normally have the ability to pop in on your kiddos throughout the day to check up on them, give them potty breaks, and pets with love and conversation. For longer overnight sits I can water plants, put out your trash and depending on size and temperament I can also wash them free of charge. I'm not a professional dog groomer, it's just a wash and dry. I will follow any care instructions you have, use the same commands, walks, feeding schedule, etc. For my babies I have a fully fenced up patio and there's lots of good walking paths around my home for their exercise. My dogs go where they want and I don't restrict them from the furniture, but if you don't want your pets on furniture, I will follow your instructions.

About: I love animals and taking care of them is one of the best jobs ever. I have a Golden Retriever that is the sweetest cuddle bug. She is my life and I will provide the same love and care I give her to every dog I take care of. I have experience with various breeds (ie. Shibas, Goldens, Caveliers, Poodles, Bulldogs etc) and a range of temperaments (ie. stubborn, anxious, difficult etc.). Experience ages with dogs: puppies, adults, seniors, and disabled With cats: juniors and adults There is no dog or cat out there I won’t love! If you have any concerns about the care of your pet, or any special needs, you can feel free to let me know. I work remotely, so I like to take walks throughout the day. I’ll be taking my dog out for walk breaks and it’s a perfect time for other dogs to join us! For walks: I make sure every dog is always on their leash and has enough time to use the bathroom on their walk. For Drop-ins: I will make sure they’re checked on and have fun play time. If they need food or water, I will make sure they have access.

About: I have been around fur babies since I’m 2yrs and ever since have rescued more 25 dogs and at one time had 9 rescue dogs with me. Though it was in India but my heart always crave them to be around and it’s just another world to me. Been walking a neighbor pet for two years. Love them and love them like crazy ❤️ I’m working part time and have time to be around fur babies ❤️ can walk them and also visit them sometimes in the free time I can be at client place following all the rules set and execute what is said and keep them secured and safe and clean always.

My dog Coco was an older dog and requires medication in her food, and Chloe handled that without any issues. She also kept up with the pets’ schedules and made sure they were comfortable and happy. For my cat Meow Wu who is healthy and active, Chloe made sure to include 30 minutes of daily playtime as I requested, which was wonderful. When I came home, she even provided a detailed note about Meow Wu activities via email or text, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chloe is a careful and responsible person who clearly loves animals, making her great at what she does. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter! Chloe will always ask questions for everything she’s unsure about. That’s another good quality of a sitter.”

20. Akosua G.
“My two senior mini schnauzers, Bailey and Buddy absolutely adore Akosua. She house sat for 10 days while we were out of the country. She stayed in our home and took them for nice walks and provided stimulation for them during the day. They slept with her at night, per their normal routine. She sent us pictures so we knew they were well cared for. Neighbors reported how kind she was with our dogs. She has since taken care of them on weekends and for drop in walks. The dogs give her a wonderful welcome. She is reliable and on time, the house was left spotless. I would trust my pets with her anytime.”
