“Kimberly has taken care of my golden retriever puppy as if he was part of her family. Daily communication made me feel comfortable with where my puppy was staying. Very professional experience makes me recommend Kimberly for any of her services. Thank you Kimberly for your wonderful care.”
“Brian was incredible taking care of my anxious little Velcro dog. He sent me thoughtful updates about his well being and I could tell he was well taken care of when I picked him up. My dog needed a calm caring environment and that’s exactly what Brian offered. Highly recommend his services 😊”
“Lyan is so sweet and wonderful. It was great finding someone close to us, so that was a major plus. We had a chance to meet them beforehand, especially their dog, Dexter. So adorable! Our Mylie had a wonderful stay with Lyan. We got photo and text updates throughout and her communication is top notch. We will most certainly use Lyan's services again. Highly recommend!”
“Quick to respond, very communicative. Mango had a great time with her. She lives close to a vet hospital, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall excellent experience!”
“Sabrina did a fantastic job of looking after Mili, our 8 year golden retriever while we were away for the weekend. She was always responsive and sent updates/pictures everyday. Mili had a great time and we will definitely use Sabrina’s services the next time we need a sitter.”
“Nayana took care of Shiro with love and treated him like her family member. She followed all our instructions carefully and sent us important updates with photos throughout the care. Shiro seems happy and enjoyed the stay with her.”
“This is the second time we hired Juliana to watch our dog, Maui, and we were very happy with her services. She's very communicative and shares updates and pictures regularly. Still highly recommend her and we look forward to a future booking with her.”
“We’ve never left our dog with anyone but immediate family and never with anyone for 12 days. Anusha managed our high energy dog perfectly and developed a rapport with him right away. She also managed my own anxiety by sending photos and videos twice daily to show me that our dog was relaxed and happy in her care. I can’t thank her enough for the care and attention she provided.”
“Dexter had a great time at Jade’s house! Jade and her family took care of him so well and gave him lots of love. She took him hiking as well as on a walk to see Christmas lights and she sent me lots of videos and pictures. We could enjoy our vacation without worrying about him at all. I also liked that she responded to all my text fast. Thanks Jade! Dex is already waiting for the next vacation 😊”
“Son, her husband and children did a wonderful job looking after PENNY. As soon as I met the family, I knew she was in good hands. They gave her an immense amount of love and attention. She went on adventures with them throughout the Bay Area and coastal regions. She had so much fun that it was like sending a 12 year old to summer camp! I would highly recommend Son and her family to take care of your little dog or a big dog when the time comes. They are also my friends now.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both cats and dogs and developing a deep, natural connection with them. I cared for and trained my own dog for 15 years, and after his passing, I adopted a close friend’s dog, who I now love and care for as my own. My experience includes working with dogs of all ages and needs from energetic pups to senior dogs requiring extra patience and support. I’m comfortable administering medication, preparing specialized meals based on dietary needs, and ensuring each dog gets the right level of exercise, structure, and attention. I treat every dog as if they’re part of my family because I know that’s exactly what they are to you. I work from home therefore, your pup will have all my attention! Walks are done every three to four hours in a day. Food is given based on your scheduled requirements. Since I have a dog of my own your pup will have a partner to play with! There's a dog park near by for them to run and play in as well.
“My dog had a perfect stay with Sepia. He was treated like a family member and really pampered. I got daily updates with photos and videos which was really helpful since we were leaving our baby for a long time almost 12 days for the first time. I highly recommend Sepia.”
“Me and my dog Gus LOVE Jennifer. He’s gotten to stay with her two separate times now and we will definitely be going to her from now on. She has a great home with a great back yard and two other doggos for mine to play around with. She was extremely accommodating with all request and sent great pictures throughout the whole visit. I felt at ease knowing my fur child was safe with her and her family. Super thankful to have found Jennifer and would recommend her anyone!”
“This was our first time using a dog-sitter and Pissamas was great! She sent pictures and gave us updates while we were away and overall she's just a very nice person. I'm so glad we found a dog-sitter for Joy and we'll definitely use her services moving forward.”
“Thao was amazing with our puppy Obi. You can tell she really cared about him, from the daily updates and questions about his progress. Obi is not boarded often, so he always has a bit of an acclimation period. Thao and her mom were amazing at making Obi feel at home. He came home very happy. Thank you, Thao!!!”

Why Choose Us? - Certified Expertise: Willow is a certified dog trainer, specialized in managing reactive or high-energy dogs with patience and positive reinforcement. - Full Life-Cycle Experience: As "parents" to a senior male and a young female cat, we deeply understand the evolving needs of pets—from kitten energy to senior comfort. - Medical & Wellness Care: We are experienced in administering oral medications and conducting thorough health checks (weight management, coat health).

We are generally available from 8am to 8pm on both weekdays and weekends, and can adjust as needed to fit your pet’s routine. We focus on three key areas when caring for cats in a client’s home. First, the environment: check that front and back doors are properly locked, and that windows are not open without screens, to ensure indoor cats cannot escape. Second, potential hazards: look for sharp or pointy objects and other items that could cause injury. Third, food and plants: make sure there are no foods or plants that may be toxic to cats, such as grapes or lilies, within reach.
“Robin and her family took amazing care of our 7 year old lab, making her part of their routine and family from walks to car rides and even church! Really can't say enough good things about our pup's stay, we will absolutely be asking Robin for dog watching in the future if they're avalable.”
“Nikhila and her family are such a blessing, I left my dog Elsa with them for almost 15days while I was in India and they took such good care of Elsa just like their own. I received the cutest photos and updates and they even made Elsa part of their festive celebrations. I am so glad I found such a nice and loving family for my baby.”

Bruno and his wife were very friendly and took great care of Milo while I was traveling! They were thorough with knowing Milo’s daily routine and any other important information (ex. Allergies or triggers such as fireworks) to ensure Milo was safe and well taken care of. They sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the days which I appreciated. Their dog, Jojo, is very well-trained and Milo loved playing and hanging out with him! I would definitely recommend Bruno and his wife to care for my friends’ and loved ones’ dogs, and have them watch Milo again 😊
Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my Skai. Our pet was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout. Saloni gave us daily updates and photos which was reassuring to know that he was in safe and loving hands. We would not hesitate to use Saloni’s services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Nayana took wonderful care of my senior dog for three days. She was kind, patient, and attentive, and knowing Sam was in such good hands gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and am very grateful for her care. I would gladly book with Nayana again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.
Albina was a great dog sitter for our 2 fur babies while we were out of town for a week. She only takes one client at a time, so we did not have to worry about the temperament of other dogs in her care. She sent daily pictures, videos, and gave updates of how they were adjusting so my children would not worry about their pets. Feeding instructions were followed and the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks to Albina for helping to watch our two dog. If you are looking for boarding, you can trust Albina will watch your pet as if it were her own. We will definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks!
We had a great experience with Rachel and her family watching our 6-month-old puppy, Koda! They were very understanding about a few potty accidents and his barking on the first night, which we really appreciated as puppy owners. Rachel was communicative, kind, and easy to talk to throughout the stay, and we felt Koda was in good hands. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter!
Ery nice and calm family who treated snowy so well ! They sent pictures if he settles well with them be Use snowy is quite new in staying other people’s house ! I can see snowy enjoyed staying with their family and relaxed too! Thank you so much for your care !!! Hope we can work together again!!!
We had an amazing experience with Lyudmila while we were out of the country for around 20 days taking care of Chi. She was incredibly reliable, caring, and gave us peace of mind the entire time we were away. She sent us daily photo updates and regular status updates, which really helped us feel connected and reassured that Chi was happy and well taken care of. She truly went above and beyond by even helping us set up and use our Fi dog tracking collar at her home, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she treated Chi like her own and made sure she was comfortable, safe, and loved. We are so grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and extra effort. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 5 stars all the way!
Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Whitney and family! We had her booked for a few weekends in a row while our house was being shown for sale and the second weekend she ran right into the house, tail wagging, as if she was returning to her second home. It gave me great peace of mind to know she was somewhere she felt comfortable and where she was well taken care of.
