About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life. I am responsive, responsible and full of energy in order to care for your pet however they need me. Happy to keep you updated on how your pet is doing with messages and photos, giving you the peace of mind to still fully enjoy the time you are away from them. Years of experience with dogs and cats including walking, pet sitting, drug administration and of course playing! I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet on their schedule. I am in the area most weekends as well when needed. Your home, as well as your privacy, will be respected when I am caring for your pet. I am a licensed real estate agent as well and never take responsibility lightly.
“Lou was a life saver. We love to travel with Oki our yorkie. Lou was able to help us watch Oki while toured Hearst castle. He was even so kind to meet us at the parking lot just to make our life easier. He was so kind and reassuring us with pictures. Turns out we all graduated from the same High school. What a small world. I would definitely recommend Lou for all your pet care needs. Hope to us him again in the future.”


“Jennifer helped with walking and feeding our pug, Winnie, a couple times during a day when we were away. She was extremely responsive and eager to understand Winnie's personality and preferences. Jennifer stayed in touch so we knew when she was there and how Winnie had responded. It was very reassuring to have such an enthusiastic and concerned caregiver helping with Winnie while we were away. We will definitely plan to contact Jennifer the next time we need some help!”

About: As a former veterinary assistant, I have acquired and practiced a number of skills above and beyond those of a typical pet sitter. I'm adept at administering medications of all kinds (including subcutaneous fluids), nail trimming and other basic grooming... I even assisted in surgeries! Animals are drawn to me and me to them. I've had a special chemistry with pets since I was a child. My own internal reliance on routines means that your pet can rely on regular, predictable and consistent care. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine – as a fellow pet owner, you know the drill. It's an all-day, every-day procedure starting from the first morning pawing at my nose and going until, well, the last evening pawing at my nose. As far as caring for other pets, my schedule is flexible and I make every effort to keep a regular routine that help your pet feel safe and cared for. We have two cats who I dote on (my wife might say "spoil"). They wake me up like clockwork every morning for their breakfast and play. We let the senior outside for supervised, fenced play (aka time away from his big little brother), but the 2-year-old is strictly indoors. I've developed daily routines and timelines with each of my pets and they reward my consistency with plenty of cuddles and purring. We recently got a wheel for our younger cat, and he likes to run while I'm on zoom calls.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. We are caretakers of all creatures, great and small. I've had all sorts of pets including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, birds, even an opossum! I love all animals. It's my belief that my purpose on earth is to care for animals in any way I can. I rescue abandoned or injured animals on a regular basis. I live in a rural area so I often try to save wildlife when I come across them. I've been a Pet sitter on the Central Coast for over 10 years. I also volunteer for Woods humane society. I treat my clients as I would want to be treated. So I will text you pics of your pets while you're away to help set your mind as ease. I've been lucky to be able to work from home for the past two years due to the pandemic. So I can basically stay with your babies 24/7. My goal when staying in a client's home is to leave no trace of my stay when I leave....except happy and healthy pets! I bring my own bedding and food so you don't need to do anything for me. I am lucky enough to be able to work from home. Which means I can work from your home as well. I'm pretty much a homebody. While petsitting, I will stay at your home most of the time, only leaving occasionally to go home to check on things, depending on the length of the petsit. While caring for your pets, I prefer to have written instructions which tell me when to feed them, how much and where the food is kept or where they are fed. (Sometimes dogs are fed in separate areas, etc.) And all other things I should do whether it be taking in mail or putting out garbage, etc.
About: I’ve been a professional house sitter for 10 years. I had a dog of my own for about 5 years-a big beautiful german shepherd who we trained extensively. I love dogs (and cats!) but with my traveling lifestyle, I can’t commit to having my own, but I have plenty of love and energy to give to others. I’m reliable, clean, communicative and love to adventure & hike, especially with doggy friends. I have a flexible work schedule and can work around you and your pets specific needs. Happy to help with high energy dogs, older chill dogs-and everything in between. I believe animals should be treated with respect and love and consistency just like a member of the family. They are full of unconditional love and that should be returned to them.
About: Hi Im Rachel! I love animals of all kinds and am excited to have fun with your pet! I worked in a vet clinic for 6 months and have had dogs my whole life, ranging from huskies, shepherds, labs to chihuahuas. I will run bike or skate with your dog as well as cuddle haha. I have also had many cats and love pets of all sorts. Just let me know what your animal needs and I will do my best to make your them happy! I'm available most weekdays, and certain scheduled weekends. I'm able to pet sit if needed or free for just a quick walk to get out of the house. Thank you for your time! I look forward to getting the chance to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care allows me the flexibility to commit when I have a client and invest myself fully while also providing me with the freedom to pursue my other career goals. I live within walking distance to beautiful, large parks, beaches, and trails in the mountains great for hiking. I live in a tucked away neighborhood with good access to nature.
“Cami was so excellent with my sweet kitty Lucy - incredibly accommodating with my last-minute requests, and so attentive to Lucy’s needs. I returned to a really content cat which is all I could ask for!”


“My fur girls were so excited to see Samantha everyday. She showed up on time and took them on nice walks to get their energy out. She is reliable and a great communicator. Will 100% use her again.”

“Nicole was great! She was flexible with our last minute logistics and took great care of my dog Watson. I think he is still enjoying the long walks in his doggie dreams. :) I would recommend Nicole highly!”

“Jake was awesome watching our cat! She likes to hide but he was always able to find her! We appreciated him checking up on her every day and giving her treats if she was willing. Very responsive and reliable :)”

About: hi there!! my love for animals is unmatched and i hope to share some love to as many animals as i can! i just retired as a d1 college gymnast and i graduate from san jose state university in the fall of 2026, so i have much more time on my hands now that i am done with gymnastics. i’ve grown up with only cats, but i have helped with dog sitting for family members and my friends many times! The most important thing to me is communication and you can trust me when I say that if I am confused or have a question or need any clarification, I will ask. Keeping your pets the safest and most comfortable as possible is #1 . I look forward to hopefully meeting your pet and creating a fun and strong bond with them! thanks so much I’m in the gymnastics team at SJSU and we just finished season so our schedule is quiet clear then it used to be! Weekends are better for overnight care, and I can wake up however early and stay up however late that is needed for the owner! Right now, anytime after 5:30 during the week is best. I care for pets by showing them attention, feeding them and giving them the everyday needs, playing with them outside, teaching more tricks, and loving them as if they’re my own!
“Karah was amazing with my sweet Peach! Karah was consistent in coming at the right time, she played with Peach, followed all the directions I asked of her, even cleaned the food bowls, and took pictures everyday for me to see. Just knowing Peach was in good hands made my trip more fun not having to worry about her. If you need a sitter Karah should be at the top of your list. Highly recommend!”
