“Thank you Leah for taking such amazing care of Callie again! We missed her so much but knew she was going to be well taken care of by you. You always send the cutest pictures which reassures us she is doing well. I appreciate your quick responses. Thank you for providing a welcoming home for Callie to stay in while we are away. We will see you soon for our next stay that we’ve already booked 😁.”


“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”


“I’m very glad I chose Ghazal to look after my dog Grace during my trip away. Ghazal provided multiple cute pictures everyday of Grace, updates of her activities, and was an excellent communicator throughout the week. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”


“Mamie and Chen were exceptional sitters for my dog Pippa this past weekend, taking her on short notice and going out of their way to make Pippa feel very happy and comfortable during her stay. They did a great job accommodating her specific needs and managing her medications. They kept us updated with great photos and insightful observations and feedback. Pippa loved their cozy apartment complex, which is nestled in redwoods and walking-distance from a nice park. We will definitely be reaching out to Mamie and Chen again for future stays!”

“Rachel, CW, and their family were exceptional sitters! They sent lots of photos and videos of our pup every day, along with detailed reports of his walks and daily activities. It was clear that they genuinely love dogs, and our pup felt safe and comfortable with them. They were easy to communicate with, organized, and flexible. We feel so lucky to have found them. Highly highly recommend!”

“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep background in animal rescue as the founder of Batallón de Amor. Over the years, I have rescued and adopted more than 10 cats and worked directly with vulnerable dogs, giving me specialized hands-on skills in animal behavior, rescue rehabilitation, and senior care. I deeply understand feline body language, pet psychology, and how to approach fearful, anxious, or sensitive animals with patience and care. Having owned and cared for cats y dogs my entire life—and missing my own rescued pets who are back in Venezuela—I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and devotion I give my own. I am completely comfortable with all aspects of hygiene, litter box management, special diets, and administering basic oral medications. Additionally, my work as a Spanish teacher provides me with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate generous, uninterrupted time during mornings, afternoons, and evenings to your pet’s exact routine of walks, meals, playtime, and quiet rest. I currently work as a Spanish teacher, which gives me great schedule flexibility: my afternoons, evenings, and parts of the morning are completely free to focus entirely on your pets. I love having this time available to dedicate myself to their feeding routines, walks, playtime, and quiet rest without any rush or distractions. I respect your home like my own, keeping doors and gates securely latched, following all entry instructions, and never leaving pets unsupervised in unsecured spaces. My home is a calm, sanitized, and pet-proofed environment designed for comfort. treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and care. I keep all doors and gates securely locked, follow entry instructions precisely, and ensure your home stays clean, calm, and safe. Having founded an animal rescue project (Batallón de Amor), clear communication and honesty are second nature to me. I provide daily photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is eating, walking, and relaxing. My own rescued pets currently live back home in Venezuela, so caring for pets here is my primary way to share the deep love and passion I have for animals. I honor their exact daily routines—meals, walks, medications, and rest—while respecting their boundaries so they feel completely safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. Having managed a shelter background, I am completely comfortable with all hygiene needs, litter box maintenance, and administering oral medications if necessary.
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for over a decade and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I bring my passion and experience together to create a cozy haven for your pets - a home filled with love, playfulness, endless cuddles and plenty of attention. I take the time to get to know each pup’s personality, routine and needs. I’m also quick to respond and love keeping pet parents updated with regular photos, so you always know your pup is comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home and am available to attend the needs of your pets. Rest be assured that your dog’s time will be filled with active walks, fun play, regular feeding to ensure a balanced routine. I plan to provide the same personalized care your pets are used to at home, so they feel comfortable and don’t feel too far away from home. I’ll follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.
“I reached out to Olga to care for my dog. From the start, she was very accommodating with my schedule, making adjustments to fit my needs, even on short notice. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my dog was in great hands. Based on the pictures that she sent us with our dog we could see that she was doing an amazing job. I truly appreciate her willingness to work around my schedule and her commitment to excellent pet care. I highly recommend Olga and will definitely book with her again!”

“Highly recommended! Madhumita was very responsive, took great care of Maui (my 5 year old golden retriever) and provided regular updates along with photos and videos. I’ll be sure to avail her services in the future.”


About: I grew up surrounded by any kind of animals. My family and friends always trust me their babies because I have so much love to give them! I’m a college student during the week. My best times would be weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I am open to chat if you need me at other times. I love animals very much so their safety is always first to me. I will not only make sure the furry ones are safe, but I will also engage and play with them so they don’t feel alone.
“I can't say enough good things about the fantastic care my dog, Pepper, received from Turki & Madeline! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in good hands. They were incredibly attentive and loving, making Pepper feel right at home. One detail that really stood out to me was how they provided Pepper with her favorite snacks—carrots and blueberries—even though I had forgotten to supply them myself. This thoughtful gesture truly showed their dedication and attention to detail. It was such a relief to know that Pepper was not only being well cared for but also getting her preferred treats. Their genuine love for animals are evident in everything they do. I am so appreciative of the wonderful care they provided to Pepper. I highly recommend their services to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Pepper!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been around them for as long as I can remember, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. 🐾 Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends and neighbors, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel completely at ease while you’re away. ❤️ I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pup with lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I’m able to easily fit in regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle time between my workday. Since I’m home for most of the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to keep them company and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pup’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I have a dog of my own, my home is already dog-proofed and set up to be a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly space. I’m mindful about keeping doors secure, potentially harmful items out of reach, and supervising dogs during playtime. I also understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and boundaries, so I’ll always follow your instructions when it comes to feeding, walks, medications, crate time, and house rules. I want your pup to feel at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I recently said goodbye to my 15-year-old dog, Sarang, which deepened my love and understanding of animals. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making every pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, and care, and I treat every pet like my own. My schedule is flexible, and I work just a few minutes away in the same building, so I can check on pets frequently throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays after 2pm and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and keep their routine consistent. I’m able to provide attentive care with frequent check-ins—similar to how I cared for my own dog, Sarang, checking on her every couple of hours. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for your pet. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety at all times and pay close attention to behavior and comfort. I can separate pets if needed and make sure they feel secure and stress-free while in my care.
“I appreciate that Antonio and his family were willing to take our pups, Pip and Pumpkin on short notice. Pumpkin is an especially anxious dog and they provided safe and comfortable care for both dogs while we were away for the weekend. Thank you!”

“My babies enjoyed their stay with Shavonne and will definitely be back! She took great care of them both, and had no trouble with my problem child (has high anxiety). Thank you for making it easy to relax while we were away ❤️?”

“Brian watched our dogs for a ten day period while we were out of the country. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding. He is friendly, conscientious, and has a calm demeanor that my rescue pups appreciate. He provided regular updates on how they were doing, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. They had regular walks and he responded to some tips I gave during the stay. He is fantastic!”
“John always does a wonderful job with our sweet border collie. She returned home happy, healthy, and well exercised. John does a nice job of keeping us updated while we’re gone and clearly cares about the dogs he takes care of!”

I had to find a last minute sitter due to a change in plans and Malika was so quick with her responses that she made the process to make sure my dog has someone to watch him while I go out of town super easy. I received daily updates from Malika which always made me feel good that my boy was getting the attention and care he needs. I came home to a happy dog and would 100% use Malika’s services again. Thank you so much for taking good care of Finley!

Alice was awesome with Apollo and very easy to work with. Got regular pictures and updates during Apollos stay and was flexible with times to pick him up and drop off. Alice’s dog is also sweet, I think Apollo liked having a friend for the long weekend. Would recommend

Anlin was great! We had such a positive experience, and he made sure to keep me updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout Bear’s stay. Bear always has the best time, and I really appreciate the care and attention both him and his dad gives. Highly recommend!

Mamie and Chen were exceptional sitters for my dog Pippa this past weekend, taking her on short notice and going out of their way to make Pippa feel very happy and comfortable during her stay. They did a great job accommodating her specific needs and managing her medications. They kept us updated with great photos and insightful observations and feedback. Pippa loved their cozy apartment complex, which is nestled in redwoods and walking-distance from a nice park. We will definitely be reaching out to Mamie and Chen again for future stays!

Anh & his wife did a great job easing my mind when Bailey stayed with them! They were diligent with his schedule & medications & gave me daily updates & photos. Bailey hates being separated from me & yet, he seemed relaxed with them. I would 100% recommend, in fact, I’ve already booked with Anh again!!

We will definitely be going back to Yeirleth and Juan whenever we need to board our puppy again, I think our puppy might think Yeirleth is her second mom lol!! They are very kind, good, trustworthy people and took great care of our puppy; they made us feel comfortable, took lots of photos, and were very communicative!! They obviously care very much for animals and treated our puppy very well. Their dog, Toby, got along very well with our puppy and their cats were very friendly with our puppy as well!!! Our puppy was actually sad to leave she had such a good time!!! Thank you so much again!!!!

Yoona and Minjae were amazing with our pup Mongsim! They were so kind and caring, and honestly, they took such great care of him—better than we could have asked for! 🥹 We got lots of photo and video updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. And their dog Buddy is the sweetest! Mongsim had such a great time with him👍👍 Highly recommend Yuna and Minjae! We’d definitely book with them again! ❤️

Leah was absolutely amazing! Siena is generally very anxious and a total homebody, so she was pretty scared when we first arrived, but almost immediately after I left, Leah sent me a photo of Siena looking SO happy and comfortable. She loved hanging out with the other pups, and Leah was clearly such a pro with all the dogs. We will absolutely rebook. I think Siena is actually sad to be home and missing all her new friends!
