About: I am a psychology student with years of dog-sitting experience. I’m calm, communicative, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for every visit! I have a very flexible class schedule, especially Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. Weekends are completely open! I’m able to plan walks and drop ins before, between, and after my classes. I’m also comfortable with overnight house sitting and can adjust my mornings as needed to match your pet’s routine. I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, and I always keep the space clean and tidy. I always make sure your home is left exactly as you found it, if not, better! My goal is to create a calm and safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!

About: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday. My August/Fall schedule has not been confirmed as I will be starting a new job. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, I am very flexible and am sure we can work out a schedule that fits your pets’ needs! Please contact me for more information on overnight stays. I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.

Jie was amazing and really exceeded my expectations. I had her pop by for a few hours to spend time with my 11 year old and 1 year old French Bulldogs. She walked both dogs twice, encouraged play time, and fed them. She sent photos and updates and even cleaned the dogs bowls after the dogs ate. She is exceptional!!

Malia is so good with Luna Nova,, my 8 year old Rottweiler who also just had surgery. She takes the cutest pictures of her and gives me really good updates. She informs me if anything is concerning. I 100% trust her with my dog. She handled giving Luna her meds and a snack during the day to keep Luna from getting an upset belly. I totally recommend her.

We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and caring for pets genuinely makes me happy. I have 8 years of dog experience and 9 years of cat experience, including puppy training, pet sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care for family, friends, and neighbors. I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I recently graduated from Santa Clara University, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with furry friends! I’m a very active, organized, and reliable person who loves early mornings, walks, and being around animals. In my free time, I often take my family dog on walks and enjoy spending time outdoors. I’m available throughout the week and weekends and would love to help care for your pets like they’re my own. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. My home is very spacious, organized, and pet-friendly, and I currently do not have any pets living at home. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I strive to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me! I grew up in an animal loving home and on a homestead, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of routines, environments, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I’m a behavioral analyst by profession, which means I bring a calm, patient, and thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I also cared for my rescue pitbull for over six years, supporting his behavioral needs with consistency, understanding, and a lot of love. That experience deeply shaped how I connect with dogs, especially those who may need a little extra patience or structure to feel safe and comfortable! I’m happy to meet your dog exactly where they are. If they’re active, I’m all in for walks, runs, hikes, and playtime! If they prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy keeping things calm, cozy, and predictable. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy adapting to what helps each dog feel their best. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and getting lots of attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, which makes me especially reliable for morning, evening, and overnight care. I’m a great fit for pets who thrive on routine and calm, predictable support. I work just two blocks from my home, so if your pet is staying with me, I’m able to be very present throughout the day. I always prioritize time before work, can come home during lunch to check in, and then we have the entire evening together for walks, play, or relaxing depending on their needs. On weekends, I’m fully available and love dedicating that time to longer walks, outings, or giving your pet extra attention and companionship. My schedule allows me to be consistent, attentive, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy! 🐾 Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I also have space for a crate if your pet is crate-trained or benefits from having their own designated area. I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any specific preferences. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament and make sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that means giving them space or more engagement. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I stay observant, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize safety at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. 🐾

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like an individual, not just a booking. I’m patient and attentive, with experience caring for puppies (basic commands, potty routines, and leash manners) and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I pay close attention to body language and routines so dogs feel safe and understood. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I focus on calm, reliable care and clear communication with owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check ins so dogs get consistent attention and care. I’m used to managing routines like morning and evening walks, potty breaks, and quiet time, and I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs. Because animals are already a regular part of my life, caring for pets doesn’t feel rushed it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, use positive reinforcement only, and make sure pets feel comfortable and respected. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

This is my second time working with Anke and she was just as fantastic as the first time! She gives you detailed reports of her care of your pets, follows the instructions you leave, and sends lots of pictures and videos. She is friendly and flexible. I would definitely work with her again the next time I need pet care.

Qianwen took great care of my cat for two days.

Maya and I are both so happy with Suzanne’s care while I was out of town for a long weekend. She made sure all of Maya’s needs were taken care of (food, water, medication, etc), but she also spent time giving her company, attention, and love while I was away. Since Maya is a senior kitty, it was especially reassuring to know she was in such caring hands. Suzanne gave me real peace of mind, and I never had to worry about how Maya was doing while I was gone. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable cat sitter.

Carissa was a great catsitter for our two cats while we were away from home for a few weeks. She was very caring to our cats and was consistent in her text and picture updates to us every day. Carissa was thorough in her following of our instructions to care for our cats, and most importantly her friendly demeanor created an environment where our cats quickly became comfortable and friendly with Carissa. This caring and kind attitude was very much appreciated by our cats and they loved her affectionateness and willingness to play with them for their exercise and enjoyment while we were away from home for a period. If we leave our home again, we would definitely hire Carissa again. We strongly recommend her as a catsitter who is not only experienced in animal care but also a kind and friendly person who can naturally get along with any animal.
