“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”


“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”


“Yena was just wonderful. We have a newer dog to our home combined with our cat who is indoor/outdoor so we needed a house sitter as opposed to just check ins for boarding. Yena was very professional, and asked all the right questions. When we were gone we received regular check ins with photos and updates of our little fur babies. We will definitely call on Yena every time we need someone to help us with our pets in the future. My wife and I highly recommend her service. Thank you Yena!”


“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”


“As always, Ana provided excellent care for our kitties! We got regular photos and video updates, and she kept us feeling calm and assured while there was a fire going on a few miles away in the Oakland Hills by tracking it's progress. We'll continue to use her for all of our travel!”


“If there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.”


“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”


“Della was incredibly responsive, warm, and caring to our dog! She sent lots of photos during the two day house stay and made sure our dog Pua got her medicine. We came home to a spotless house and homemade cinnamon roles in the fridge. Pua told us she had a great time with her new friend, would definitely recommend Della!”



“Ariana was amazing! Took out booking very last minute and took the best care of our dogs! Great communication, lots of photos, and she left a really sweet drawing of them. Highly recommend!!”


“My little Taco loved Louis and Louis took care of my pup like his own. He was clear with communication and suggested we meet for a meet and greet which was such a great idea given how mistrustful my Taco can be with strangers. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”


“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”


About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.


“Shelly was calm and confident at our meet and greet, and followed our instructions for care of our dog - above and beyond! She sent photos, and Magpie was clearly a very happy girl upon our return. Everything in our home was tidy, everything put back in its place even though the dog can be a bit messy, and she even remade the bed with clean sheets. So appreciate this as I was getting back quite late. Magpie will definitely be seeing Shelly again!”



“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Judy was so amazing with my senior Yorkie who suffers from several medical conditions. She communicated several times a day and sent me tons of pictures. My little guy and my home were well taken care of while I was away. Thanks a million Judy!”


“William was a pleasure to work with when he stayed at my house to take care of my seven-year-old golden doodle, Ruby. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to the engagement, sent photos of Ruby while we were gone, and left the house in great shape for when we returned. I would work with William again and highly recommend his services!”
