“Lara was great. This was our first time leaving a new kitten with someone, and Lara was very easy and relaxed with him...she let him come to her (which he did right away?). Great communication and nice photos/videos to let us see how he was doing.”
“Aiyana did a wonderful job cat/house sitting over the Mother's Day weekend, so I could visit my mom. She was prompt, did all the things that I asked her to do and was very professional. She left the house exactly as she found it, and my cat was well cared for. Honest, trustworthy and set my mind at ease during my trip. Thanks Aiyana!!”
“Would recommend Daniela in a heartbeat. Totally reliable and made our trip so much more relaxing knowing that our. 3 cats were being so well cared for.”
“Ulysses took care of my kitties for several days. When I got home they were calm and fed. I could tell that they had been well cared for. Everything looked great and he even took out the trash for pickup. I will use his services again.”
“Amelia was great! She was so sweet with our two cats and kept us updated the whole time, including photos. She took their complicated meal schedules in stride and kept them safe, happy, and fed during her 3 night stay. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for our future cat sitting needs!”
“Grateful that Sara were able to check in on our cats while we were away. You’re awesome!”
“Chutku seems well taken care of and a happy fellow. He was clearly left in good hands!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job checking in on our cats while we were away for a few days. She's responsive, professional, and reliable. Our cat loved her company and we'll definitely work with her again!”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, parakeets, hamsters, fish and turtles. I volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind as a puppy raiser and learned a lot about positive dog training from that experience. I can administer meds (pills, inhaled steroids, subcutaneous fluids) and carry out routine grooming tasks. I have had 4 dogs and 5 cats over my adult years but currently have no pets. I am recently retired and walk about 3-5 miles/day. Miss walking with a dog. I love cats and miss having one around. I am retired and walk 3-5 miles a day so I can easily fit pet care into my weekly routine and I miss walking with a dog. I am very responsible and will follow your instructions and treat your pets (and home if house sitting) with the same care as I would my own. I live on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard. I have a cool head in a crisis. I work with one client at a time. If you have two pets, that is ok with me.
“Chloe was fantastic with our kitties and very accommodating when we had to do some schedule rearrangements at the last minute. We will definitely be booking with Chloe again!”
“Christa was great!! Took such good care of both of our kitties, one which is a very high-energy 9 week old kitten! Would definitely recommend Christa!”
“10/10! Heidi was such a great cat-sitter! I have a small studio that traps litter dust/odors and she made sure to open the windows while she was there. She also took my cat outside on her harness every day and kept Nairobi very happy. She also kept the litter box/food area super clean (despite my cat being quite messy). And of course the daily photos to sooth my cat-mom anxiety hehe. I will definitely book her for my next trip ?”
“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”
About: My journey in animal care began four years ago with fostering cats, from kittens to seniors. This experience, while not dog-centric, has solidified in me a deep sense of understanding, patience, and adaptability towards all animals. Your pet will be treated with the utmost care and attention during their time with me. I currently work from home which allows me flexibility to come and go at your request! Typically afternoon to evening times are easier for me for same-day requests. I can also fit in morning times with early notice! I am not currently providing the service to dog sit in my home or a client’s home. If requested, I can dog sit in a client’s home as long as there is a place to work.
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have always had many pets: cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, fish, etc. I love them all. I have always pet sat for family and friends and would like to use my skills to help others as well. I am working a very flexible schedule right now so I can work around what your pet needs depending on the situation, dates, and such. I think it is important to spend time with the pets I care for as well as feeding and walking so they don’t have to be lonely while you are away.
“Caring and conscientious pet/house sitter. Emily cared for my cat and home, including feeding my fish, while I was away. She was easy to talk with, understood how I wanted things done and kept everything (everyone) safe and happy while I was away.”
About: I grew up with cats which was an awesome part of my childhood. More recently I've had the pleasure of having labradors. I recently lost my senior labrador of 13 years 8 months. I've also cared for friends and family cats and dogs of all varieties. I enjoy getting to know the pets personality, quirks and preferences. I enjoy meeting them all, young and old, spry and calm, toy chaser or mellow chewer. I worked as a Vet Tech trainee for 18 months while enrolled in Vet Tech classes at Foothill College. I work from home or anywhere with WiFi access. My work is flexible as far as schedule so I can work with the dogs schedule. I have a yard which has chicken netting to prevent the dog going down into the creek. But I supervise dogs closely when they are outside.
“Punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly. Attentive! Bubba likes her very much. Looking forward to establishing a relationship and more visits!”
“Alastair is a sweet soul, giant heart, & took such great care of my fur boys. One of them got sick, days before I left & Alastair gave me extra updates & reassurance in order to put me at ease. He communicates & is respectful. My cats loved him! He even went above and beyond & cleaned my house & floor the day I returned. I highly recommend him & would most definitely hire him again. ?”
“We hired Quinn to visit our dog during work days when my partner was out of town. She was amazing! Quinn worked on commands with her, took her on mini adventures, and chased our dog down when she ran off after turkeys. It was fun and such a relief to get the updates during and after check ins, too. I’m so thankful we found Quinn and would definitely hire her again.”

9. Victoria S.
“I was always very happy when Vicky was available to watch my pets (2 cats and 1 bearded dragon). I have since moved out of the area and miss her pet care services. I knew my animals would be well taken care of and my instructions followed. Vicky would communicate by text with any questions and also send pictures of what my pets were up to in my absence. These communications prevented any worries I may have had about their care while I was away. Vicky loves animals, all types. I highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for an attentive and reliable pet sitter.”

“I highly recommend Diane as a dog and cat sitter! She loves animals and is very good with them! She took great care of my two dachshunds, Felix and Gizmo. They can be difficult with strangers, but were very at ease with her and even behaved on their daily walks with her. Diane has had a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and all the needs that accompany animals in old age. She is very patient and kind. Animals love her! She has been great caring for cats as well. Diane is very dependable. She shows up on time and I always feel comfortable with her taking care of my pets.”
