“Alex was absolutely wonderful with my cat! I had a family event days after my cat had to have surgery but I felt confident leaving her with Alex. They cuddled and hung out all day and Alex administered medication. Also very easy communication!”
“Kristina took great care of our dog, Fil, while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent lots of photos of them having a great time together and it looked like Fil had plenty of walks and play time over the two days we were away. We will be booking Kristina again!”
“Brittany was great! She followed instructions perfectly and my cat and dog both seemed really comfortable around her. I came home to a nice clean apartment. Would definitely book again!”
“Paulette was great, and very attentive to our small terrier during our out of town trip. She stayed in our home and took good care of the place while we were out of town. We would recommend her and will use her again!”
About: Hello! I believe, as many others do, that the therapeutic importance of animals in our lives is immeasurable. I was raised with family dogs as a child, and my appreciation for what they do for us has only increased. I have dog sat for friends who appreciate my cleanliness, reliability, and enthusiasm for pets. I seek to provide an experience that is professional AND fun for all involved. Thanks for your consideration! -Matt I am currently a student who is off for summer break so as it stands, I have ample time on weekdays and weekends to care for your pet! I am fastidious about following pet owner instructions regarding the care for their animal and use of their home. I am organized, clean, and respectful of pet owners’ personal space.
“Aoife watched my home, my dog and my cat for a week. She was conscientious, attentive and communicative. And my animals loved her! I would definitely hire her again and I would highly recommend her to other pet parents. Thanks Aoife!”
“Matt's a sweet heart and took great care of my pups when he stayed at our house. Pups loved him, and he's super trust worthy. Have already told friends about him and will be using Matt again and again for our pups :) Thanks Matt!!”
“Nicole is an absolute GEM. Extremely professional and responsible during her 3 night stay with our two elderly dogs who require numerous medications. Returned home to happy and relaxed dogs and a spotless house. We are so happy we found Nicole!”
“Needed a pet sitter for one night in San Francisco and luckily found Joe. He was very trustworthy and listened to all our needs for our pets. Also very good at communicating and sending pics and vids of our two girls. Would recommend Joe to anyone looking for care for your pets!”

“KayMaria was so loving and attentive to my cat Mac. Mac had eaten some ribbon and seemed mostly fine but needed close monitoring in case she started to show signs of distress. KayMaria gave her undivided attention for the twelve hours or so I was out of the house. Mac is cautious around strangers but instantly warmed up to KayMaria. I'll definitely book with KayMaria when I need another catsitter!”
“David was wonderful. We have two big dogs, one that can be high maintenance, and he was great with them- we felt at ease being away with them in his care. He was very responsive in communication as well.”
“Anita was kind, responsive, communicative, and flexible. I loved getting updates and photos while we were gone. We are definitely going to work with her again and highly recommend her to friends and others.”
“Sean was so great with Fuzz! Our skittish kitty warmed right up to him and had a great time while we were away. Thanks for making him feel so comfortable, we really appreciate it!”
“Sukufe was amazing! She came in confident and very loving to our animals. Our puppy ran out of the house to greet her like she has known her all her life! Sukufe took great care of both my 5 month old pup and our 11 year old cat. Both loved her. I recommend her and excited to have her house sit next!”
“Zulma took great care of our cats and our house. She sent fantastic photos and updates to us while we were gone. She left a handwritten note for us with a report card on the cats and a welcome home note. And, she went the extra mile to put the sheets and towels in the washer.”
“Danielle was amazing with Nala! She also was very responsive, made scheduling super easy, sent lots of great updates, took wonderful care of the apartment, and was all around awesome. Thank you!”

Matthew F.
“Matt took great care of my charming but highly-strung dog (Steve) a bunch of times. He covered all the basics (food, walks, judiciously-administered treats, updates) and more, becoming one of Steve's favorite people. Matt is a true dog-lover, a good person, and a very, very responsible sitter. If I hadn't moved out of the area, I would still absolutely rely on Matt's care and friendship for Steve. And I know for sure that Steve misses him! ”
