“Sandra was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very patient and gentle with our three very shy cats. We really appreciated how carefully she followed all of our instructions—it was clear she was attentive and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 20 years of experience raising dogs from puppyhood to happy seniorhood. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I have two kids (10 and 12) who love to give snuggles and play with dogs, but they are also respectful and experienced with reading cues when a dog needs space. On walks, I'll make sure your pup is engaged, enriched and comes back happy and tired. When boarding your dog, I’ll warmly provide the home away from home they need and send regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am highly communicative and very responsive. I look forward to meeting your pup! I have a flexible schedule, and I’m regularly available for dog walking and drop in visits Monday-Friday. I can board your dog overnight any days of the week or do weekend drop ins or walks with advanced notice. I have a roomy SUV and can pick up/drop off your dog if needed. I have a one story home and a large fenced in backyard. The backyard has a large grassy area as well as a covered deck, a lower open deck and a concrete area. My 85lb 2 year old rescue pup loves other dogs and will provide your dog with lots of playtime and company. My neighborhood is great for walks, and I live right by a large open park. I have experience with puppies, having successfully housetrained three big dogs from 8 weeks old. I also have experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs. Our previous labs lived to 15 and 13, with one that had regular seizures in her last year of life. I believe in positive reinforcement training and will make sure to keep up with any training you’re currently working on with your dog during walks and while they stay with me. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes and have a confident yet warm personality that will help your dog quickly get comfortable with me.
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking care of Woodford and Willett. Woodford's ball games and Willett's gradual comfort with you were both such reassuring signs that they were in great hands. Your care and attention meant a lot to us, and we'd be thrilled to have you look after them again in the future.”
About: I have had cats my entire life and I always have been a huge animal lover! During Covid, I finally got my very first puppy after wanting a dog for so many years. It has been one of the best experiences for me. Before becoming a dog owner myself, I spent years helping friends and family by walking their dogs and caring for their cats. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I always treat animals with patience love and care like they’re my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just company I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for early morning walks or check-ins starting as early as 6:00 AM-7 am before work. I’m also available after 2:00 PM on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m available in the mornings until around 12:00 PM. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions closely, give pets lots of love and attention, and treat every home with respect by keeping it clean and secure.
About: My name is Lorenzo and I own and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I’ve always been good with dogs ever since I was a kid and understand what dogs need and the responsibility of taking care of dogs. If you need a dog walker, dog sitter, someone to check in on your dog, or someone to stay with with your pup then I’m the one for the job. It’s my aim to love and adore your dog as much as you do. I absolutely love dogs and I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I’m an active athlete and will love to take your dog on exciting adventures and have a great time. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Even though I have a part-time job, I always make time for feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to the pets I care for. I’m very organized, so I plan my schedule to make sure their needs come first. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, and do weekly tasks. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet owners to create a schedule that works for both of us, making sure their pets get consistent, loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I would give my own. I always begin by reviewing the client’s instructions carefully to ensure I fully understand the pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical requirements, and behavior patterns. Consistency is key, so I do my best to maintain the pet’s usual schedule—whether that involves specific feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, or quiet time. I take extra care to keep the home clean and secure while I'm there, including cleaning up after the pet, locking up when I leave, and making sure the pet has fresh water, a tidy living area, and any comforts they’re used to. I also pay attention to details like adjusting lights or curtains if needed, bringing in mail, or watering plants if requested—anything that helps maintain the normal routine and security of the home. Regular communication is also important to me. I provide updates, photos, or quick messages to reassure the owner and let them know how their pet is doing. I understand the trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your pet, Therefore, my top priorities are care, accountability, and reliability.
“Cheryll was so warm and caring. I had no worries knowing he would spend some time with my pup. She arrived as scheduled and even stayed a little longer than requested. We will definitely use Cheryll again!”
About: Hi everyone! Just a lifelong dog lover who grew up around pups of all kinds and would love to help out in my free time! I recently graduated from San Francisco State and am currently applying to nursing schools, so caring for others (including your pets!) is very close to my heart. I love getting outside for long walks and some sunshine, and I’m always happy to spend quality time with animals. I was also a dog foster during my time in college! I'm reliable, friendly, and super excited to meet your furry little family member! I’m currently working part-time so I usually have afternoons on weekdays free for sunshine and puppy time! I also have weekends completely available:) I have a fenced yard for my sweet little guy! Since he’s a bit older, we’re usually taking shorter walks these days and focusing more on cuddles 😊
About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid! My first dog was a Chow Chow when I was five years old, and I adored him until the day he passed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes with much joy to me. Friends and family often count on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their pets, and I genuinely love every second of it. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own. I am currently working part time as a Behavioral Aide for toddlers on the autism spectrum. Afternoon and evenings are open for me and I am avaliable for dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits during this slot. I will offer the best possible care for your pet during our walks and/or visits. I do not offer boarding in my home as my arrangements do not allow it but I am open to house sitting and providing your dog and feline friends what they need according to what you know is best for them!
About: What sets me apart is the amount of patience, attention, and care I give every pet. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, behavior changes, and giving pets plenty of affection and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and adapting to their individual routines and personalities. I also understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s pet, so I make sure owners stay updated with photos, messages, and clear communication. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and give pets the attention they need. I make sure walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on time. I’m also communicative and provide updates so owners feel comfortable while away. I prioritize your pet’s comfort by sticking to their routines and any special instructions so they feel calm, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!”
“Brenton did a great job winning over our timid dog. He’s walks Pierre around our neighborhood, and we’re very grateful he has experience reassuring & encouraging shy dogs. Pierre is learning to trust strange humans with Brenton’s kind and calm expertise. When we need walking again, we’ll definitely reach out to Brenton.”
About: Hi there! We are Min and Florence. We have grown up with pets our whole lives and now have a beautiful rescue pup that we share together. We are familiar with friendly or anxious/shy dogs as our dog was rescued from the dog meat trade. We would love to get to know your pets and take good care of them! We work from home so we have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to walking the dogs or stopping by to check on someone's pet. If you would like your dog to have a buddy, we are more than happy to bring our own pup along on walks. If they prefer to be alone, just let us know as we are more than happy to accommodate.
“Stephanie has been so great with my cat. He seems to really like her and she gives detailed notes about her visits. I gave her a few specific requests and she followed them exactly which I appreciate so much. Overall, she’s a great choice and I would not hesitate to reach out to her again.”

My shy, fussy cats really warmed up to Maria! She came morning and evening for 12 days while I was away and during that time she brought them out of their shell. Not only that but she cleaned the litter box wach time and washed the food dishes and cleaned the feeding mat each time. So adding it all up: quality socializing and play time plus cleaning and feeding, My kitties and I give Maria 5 stars!
Yujie took amazing care of my two 6-year old cats while I was away. Her energy is calming and my cats liked her right away from our initial meet and greet. They were very happy to have her come visit :). Yujie gave detailed written updates each day and was flexible with the timing of the drop in visits. Great communication and professional! She also sent so many cute pictures, a video, and played with my cats and spent time with them! I definitely recommend Yujie for drop in visits for cats!!
Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!
Andrea did an amazing job caring for our kitties, Leya and Simon! We really appreciated how thorough she was and how carefully she followed all of our instructions. She spent lots of quality playtime with Simon, which he absolutely loved, and gave both cats wonderful care and attention while we were away. Andrea was also very respectful of our home, which gave us extra peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!
Jasmine (Jie) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. We booked 2 weeks of drop in visits while we were traveling and she went above and beyond. Our cat loved her and we could travel with a peace of mind since we knew she was taking good care of her. She is very attentive and also very responsive to messages. She would notice little details and changes in our cat and let us know immediately. We would love to keep working with Jasmine in the future!
As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!
Sandra took such proactive care of our cat Bo. Bo had thrown up twice during the time we were away. Sandra proactively informed us, went out of the way to ensure Bo was taken care of and even manually cleaned our sofa covers and the blanket and proactively put it in the laundry without us even asking once. She went above and beyond in many ways big and small - including putting the litter bags in the garbage bins outside the house despite us telling her it’s okay to leave it in the trash cans inside the house. This was our first time hiring Sandra but we really lucked out and she’s the only sitter we’ll hire again!
