“What an amazing experience. Rachel is passionate about her job, and provides a stellar service for both the pups she takes in, and the people she helps! Our boy had the BEST time and came back so happy. We intend to continue using Rachel, and couldn’t recommend her more for Silicon Valley pup needs!!”
“Finding TR was truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to us! This was our second time booking with her, and this time she cared for our cat for almost a full month while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our cat felt comfortable, loved, and truly cared for the entire time. TR is reliable, communicative, and treats your pet like her own. We honestly can’t imagine traveling without her. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend booking with her — your fur baby will be in amazing hands! 💕🐾”

About: I’m pretty easy-going and strive to keep your furry child entertained and happy. I’ve always been passionate about animals and love learning about each of their quirky personalities. Although I’m easy going, I like to incorporate some of the training I’ve learned through having my own pets but a chiller version and seeing what works with your dog/cat. My current work schedule is flexible so I’ll have lots of availability to check in with your pet and make sure they have what they need and are happy. I will make sure they get fed accordingly and that their water bowl is topped off with fresh clean water. I’ll discover which of their toys are their favorite and even play tug of war with them if they’re up for it. And during walks, they’ll get to sniff away..
“Michael and Kris took the best care of our fur son, Bohdi! They sent pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know how he was doing. It allowed my husband and I to relax on our trip knowing he was having fun and getting all the love from them! When we picked him up, he didn’t want to go 🤣 We will definitely use Michael and Kris in the future, 10/10 recommend!”
“I had the best experience with Megha. They were so caring and attentive, and it truly showed in the way they looked after him. I really appreciated how communicative they were – I received detailed updates along with plenty of pictures, which made me feel completely at ease. Honestly, it didn’t even feel like I was away from ginger. because of how connected they kept me. I highly recommend Megha if you’re looking for someone reliable and loving to care for your pet, and I’ll definitely be going back to them in the future!”
“My dog had a fantastic time! He played with other dogs and was in a great mood when I picked him up. I also really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it was so reassuring and thoughtful.”
“Nataliya is fantastic! My doggo Wally stayed with Nataliya for 2 weeks. She sent me updates and videos or pictures every day. This was my first time ever being away from Wally for more than a couple of nights and I felt really good about leaving him with Nataliya. She is caring, attentive, great at communicating, and Wally loved her. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I go on a trip.”
“Ezra took great care of my puppy Bailey for two weeks while I was traveling. I normally worry a lot about leaving Bailey, but not this time! Knowing she was in great hands, I had total peace of mind. Ezra is super responsive and caring for pets. She sent me pictures and videos every day, where I could see that Bailey had a blast throughout her stay and made a lot of friends. Ezra has a great home with a huge back yard. Being a vet tech she is also very knowledgeable. Ezra was so nice to clean Bailey's ears and cut her nails. When Bailey ran out of food, Ezra was so nice to feed her Akira's food. I would definitely book Ezra in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Savannah did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs started having tummy issues early in the trip suddenly. Savannah provided immediate updates as to how she was doing and even prepared some bland chicken and rice from her own pantry for multiple meals until our dog recovered. She went above and beyond and we are super grateful that our dogs were with such a competent and caring sitter!
Highly Recommended! We had an amazing experience with Lu — she took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs was sick and needed medication two to three times a day, and Lu handled it with incredible care and attention. Both dogs were happy and well when we returned, and our sick pup even showed great improvement. Truly responsible, reliable, and caring — we couldn’t recommend more!
Matthew was amazing with my dog Frankee! I booked him last minute for a full day of sitting at his house, and he was so accommodating, even with planning his and Frankee’s meet+greet. Matthew sent tons of photos and videos of Frankee having the best time, which really put me at ease while I was out! When we got home, Frankee was completely wiped out, and as they say, “a tired dog is a good dog!” It’s clear Matthew kept Frankee active, happy, and well cared for all day. I’d definitely book with Matthew again if he’s ever available at a time I need a sitter!
Nataliya is fantastic! My doggo Wally stayed with Nataliya for 2 weeks. She sent me updates and videos or pictures every day. This was my first time ever being away from Wally for more than a couple of nights and I felt really good about leaving him with Nataliya. She is caring, attentive, great at communicating, and Wally loved her. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I go on a trip.
Queenie and her husband always took great care of Ruby. They love dogs and they know how to treat them well. Sending Ruby to their home is like Ruby’s vacation 😁 I’m glad Ruby and Summer get along well. I look forward to sending Ruby to their home in the future ❤️
We would absolutely, 💯% leave our dogs with Meredith again. She is so great with the dogs, loving, caring and very attentive to their needs. One of our dogs was not well and Meredith made sure that Blue was comfortable the whole time she was with her. She took them for walks and most importantly always kept us updated with pictures and write ups about their daily activities. Thank you Meredith, you helped us have a relaxed and worry free vacation.
My dog Pangpang had a great time staying with Xuecheng. They consistently walked her a few times a day, and also sent me pictures several times a day, which made me feel at ease while I was away. I also appreciate that they spent real time with her, playing with her and keeping her company, not just doing a quick checkin. The neighborhood they live in is clean with great environment, and since Pangpang is a white dog, I really noticed it, when I picked her up and got home, her paws were just as clean as the day I dropped her off. I really appreciate it. Great communication, very reliable, and I could tell my dog was happy. I would definitely book with them again.
Peter and his partner provided exceptional care for our dog, Stella, while we were out of town for a few days. Peter was consistently communicative and responsive, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. He went above and beyond by taking Stella to the dog park, replenishing her supply of poop bags, and even treating her to probiotic ice cream cause her tummy wasn’t feeling too well. It was clear that he truly cares about the dogs he looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Peter to anyone seeking reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet care!
Yiting is the best sitter we’ve ever met! She’s incredibly sweet and took amazing care of Mars. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Mars absolutely loves her, and so do we! Highly recommend Yiting to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Thank you Raquel. Mickey was happy to see us, and came home very relaxed and unstressed. He was obviously very happy under your care and for that we are very grateful to you for all you did for Mickey while in your care. Plus the pictures and notes you sent were also greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Raquel.
Cosmo had such a great time with Tiffany! She is amazing! She took such great care of him and treated him as her own, taking him on outings, feeding him special prepared meals and providing many updates. I know he misses spending time with them already. She put my mind at ease having to leave him for a few days. I will always utilize Tiffany’s services as long as she is available. Thanks again!
