Kate is very knowledgeable about all ages and breeds of dogs. We trust her with our brand new 4 month old rescue, 4 days in. She knew how to handle things and the right questions to ask and had some ideas to add. Highly recommend and will be rebooking her. Thanks Kate!

Dustin is fantastic! He is reliable, punctual, responsive, and experienced with dogs. One of our dogs is a bit anxious and not warm to many people, but Dustin won her over! He sent photos of the dogs throughout the day, and ensured there were instructions for the dog. Dustin is friendly, personable and a great communicator. Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs!

Cat is awesome! She has cared for my little LeeLoo many times. I even left my dog with her for an entire month while I went to Europe! LeeLoo loves Cat and grabs her toys to play keepaway whenever she comes over. I appreciate all the pictures Cat sends me while away.

India took great care of our puppy Mac. She looked after him ar our house on a day when my schedule was incredibly busy. We had a very early start (7:30am) and she arrived exactly on time. She was very patient and kind with him, even when he got rambunctious with zoomies and digging around in the garden. She made sure he got his breakfast on time and took him for walks during the day. She also sent us some great photos of his walks in a nearby park. Mac was very comfortable and at ease around her. I highly recommend India and would love to have her take care of Mac again when the need arises and if her schedule permits.

About: I grew up with dogs and throughout those years I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Whether it’s feeding or providing companionship, I approach each furry friend with patience and care. My special skills include recognizing subtle signs of distress or illness and creating a safe & stimulating environment. I’m currently a nursing student with flexible hours and dedicated study breaks. During breaks between classes or study sessions, I relish the opportunity to engage in enriching activities with my pets, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park or a stimulating play session at home. This structured approach ensures that my pets receive the attention and care they deserve while also allowing me to balance my academic commitments effectively. In both my own home and my clients' residences, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, despite currently not having a yard or pets of my own. Utilizing my experience with crate training and use, I ensure that pets have designated spaces where they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it's setting up cozy beds or providing ample toys for enrichment, I tailor each setup to suit the specific needs of the pets in my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to understand their preferences and any special requirements, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

I was a bit anxious since Anthony didn't have any reviews for dog sitting. I'm happy to say that I can be the first to commend him on taking care of a very active dog. Anthony was able to navigate through Buddy's initial stomach problems, a developed rash, and a low-battery lock (my bad). He updated me when necessary (I didn't ask for daily photos/updates), and Buddy bonded with him (Shelties can be one-person loyal). I'm so happy that I connected with Anthony and would do so again in a heartbeat.

About: I've had furry companions by my side since I can remember! Currently, I'm the proud parent of two adorable ten-year-old pups, Ox and Stella. Ox, a mini French Bulldog, and Stella, a Boston Terrier, bring so much joy into my life with their unique personalities. Despite their differences, they're the best of friends. Adding to the mix is Milo, my sweet 16-year-old cat, who enjoys soaking up the sun and exploring the great outdoors. He's a seasoned pro at cohabiting with dogs, making our little family dynamic extra special. My partner and I are fortunate to work from home full-time, ensuring that our beloved pets receive all the care and attention they deserve. Your furry friend will be treated like royalty under our roof! Both my partner and I work remotely full-time, affording us flexible schedules. This ensures that your pet will receive the utmost care and attention they deserve. Additionally, we're happy to work around your schedule. Your furry friend will be well looked after at my place for boarding. And if I'm watching them at your house, I'll make sure to stick to the guidelines and notes for top-notch care. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions—I'll keep you posted with plenty of updates along the way!

About: I have been surrounded by animals all my life and have taken care of dogs and cats and as well as my own frog Jeff! Being able to experience love from all kinds of pets, I have always wanted to give back that same experience to others! Aside from my day job, I enjoy being a pet’s guest companion, my occupation is nearby in the peninsula. I am also extremely close to parks and neighborhoods for proper potty routines. I do not have any other current life events that deter me from giving proper care. For cat sitting, I have a friendly cat Biscuit to keep the cats company and as well as various spaces to sit and enjoy the outside if alone. I spend time with the pets and make sure their areas are clean and that they are being tended to, whether by playing or giving them attention and pets.

About: I've had a lifelong passion for animals; from dogs and cats to rabbits and hamsters, caring for furry friends has always been second nature to me. My pet care journey has given me experience in house-sitting, pet-sitting, and regular dog walks, primarily through recommendations from neighbors, friends, and family. My experience isn't limited to specific breeds or ages - I've nurtured both senior dogs and playful puppies! Growing up, I had the pleasure of co-raising our spirited Golden Retriever Husky mix (his name is Skye :). And through the years, I've taken on the rewarding responsibility of training him, witnessing his growth and development firsthand. As I've moved away from my family home, I miss Skye dearly and wish he could be with me from day to day. As such, I'm eager to extend my love and care to your precious fur babies! Join me in creating paws-itively memorable experiences for your beloved pets! While I am currently working in a UCSF research lab, my schedule offers a considerable degree of flexibility. I have the freedom to choose my hours, allowing me the opportunity to prioritize caring for your beloved pets. Whether it's enjoying the outdoors or spending quality time with furry companions, I cherish these moments during my spare time! Typically, mornings and evenings throughout the week, as well as weekends, align best with my availability. However, I remain adaptable and open to accommodating your needs whenever possible. Your fur babies deserve the utmost love and attention, and I'm eager to provide just that! I approach pet-sitting with the same level of care and responsibility as if it were my own home and pets. Prior to taking on the role, I make it a priority to inquire about any specific needs or preferences your pets may have, ensuring I provide them with tailored care. Rest assured, I am committed to maintaining a clean, respectful environment in your home and towards your pets. You can rely on me to follow any instructions diligently and to handle any unexpected situations with care and professionalism.
