About: I have been pet and house sitting for 18+ years and work from home 3 days a week. I have a car and am pretty flexible Since I work from home 3 days a week with flexibility and often can do long weekends(Friday-Mondays). 2 days/week I work in San Francisco. I don’t mind dogs in my car or administering meds. Very familiar with cleaning litter boxes etc. I have a fenced yard and animals are okay to get on bed and couches. No smoking. Only 2 steps getting in/out of house. I have experience with post surgical care of my own pets.
“Took great care of my pets-took them on lots of walks and cuddles! Gave me updates about them several times daily. Felt like my dogs had so much fun while I was gone. Came home to cute little photos on the counter of all of them as an extra surprise! Dog person through and through-would recommend and use again!”

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.
About: The best thing coming home to are my 3 babies. Dany(Yorkie), beezley(lab) and Mika(mix gs/husky). I love how they are all filled with excitement, wagging their tails as I was only gone for a minute. When I say the words “let’s go for a walk” that’s when they know the fun begins. The best available days are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 7 pm. I am also flexible with some availability on weekends if needed. Non-Smoking household, No children present, nearby dog parks, daily walks, nearby walking trails, I have 3 dogs, I live in California Grove. I do not have a yard.
“Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.”


“My wife and I couldn't be happier with Kathy. She took care of our 2 kittens when we were out of town. While we were gone I got plenty of pictures and updates on the kittens which is appreciated for our first time away from them. We will definitely be booking Kathy next time we are out of town and you should too!”

“Miss Rachel was a dream housesitter! She made sure to get meticulous instructions on our dogs’ routines so they were as comfortable as possible, and we were able to rest easy on our vacation with daily updates knowing they were well taken care of. She was incredibly patient, especially with our elderly dog with special accommodations. Would highly recommend her and her little sidekick, and look forward to having them back for the next trip!”

“Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Aytaj was very responsive and provided updates while caring for our cat. I felt that it was really easy to get in touch with her, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was also great that she was able to meet up quickly before we booked her, making the process smooth and fast. I appreciated knowing how things were going and I didn't feel worried at all when she was here. Thank you, Aytaj!”


About: Hi, my name is Lee and I’m a recent architecture college graduate in the midst of transitioning between school and the work world. Growing up, I cared for many species of animals such as cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and butterflies. I currently live with an orange tabby named Rosie who’s 10 and a little spicy. I have cared for and pet sat cats and dogs of friends and family for several years. I helped my sibling foster 4 kittens. I walked dogs ages two to fourteen and from 12lbs to 80lbs. No matter the size, I enjoy carrying for fur babies, while making sure each animal is comfortable, safe, and happy. My schedule is quite flexible - from morning to evenings - only working around personal projects and care. Drop-in visits toward the end of the evening are doable. I am generally available on weekends. I appreciate owners who provide detailed information on routines and care, so I can provide best for their pet as to ensure comfort and consistency. I have cared for cats and dogs from 5lbs to 80lbs and from elderly to energetic. I enjoy taking dogs out for regular walks, whether it’s just to get them out of the house or to tire them out. Usually I walk one pup at a time, but I have walked two medium size dogs (40-50lbs each) from the same household together. Some of the dogs I have cared for have been unfazed by people or other pets, while others have been well trained but anxious or potentially reactive to others dogs, requiring a soft muzzle. On overnights and drop-ins, the dogs I have cared for have had various diets, including raw food, kibble, and fruits/vegetables (as treats). I’ve had pets that required separate meals, unique rituals around meals, or specific supplements/pill medications at meals. Some households have asked I crate their dogs at night, while others have pups that want to be in whichever room I sleep.
About: I’m an active and reliable dog walker/sitter with 5 years of experience. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of regular exercise, stimulation, and attentive care. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy keeping dogs happy, safe, and active. Hello! I provide reliable weekend dog walking and sitting services. With 5+ years of experience and an active lifestyle, I ensure pets get the care and exercise they need. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing scheduled meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m active and make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, whether in my home or the client’s home.
“Valentina house-sat my cats for two weeks, and she was absolutely wonderful from the moment we met. She was responsive, attentive to my cats’ needs, and consistently communicative with me throughout the stay. I noticed that both of my cats were happier and more relaxed than they’ve been with any previous sitter. She also took great care of my seedlings, which were thriving when I returned, and my home was in even better condition than when I left it. I would gladly work with her again.”

“Nicole F. cared for our cats while we were away. The cats were safe and the house was in good condition when we returned. I would have appreciated more interaction with the cats and more detailed communication during the stay. Some care instructions, like litter disposal, weren’t always followed, and while a few photos were shared, I wasn’t always clear on how frequently medication and outdoor feeding were handled, both of which were added services. Overall, things went okay, but there’s room for improvement in communication and engagement.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. Whether it’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just cuddles, I make sure each pet feels happy and loved. Your furry friend will be in safe and caring hands! I work remotely from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule to dedicate time to pet care. Since my apartment is located right in front of a large park with a designated dog area, I can easily take dogs out for walks, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, cuddling, or giving them attention, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for as part of my daily routine. In my home, pets have a cozy and safe environment where they receive plenty of attention. With the park right in front of my building, they get regular walks, exercise, and playtime in a secure area. If I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I ensure they stick to their usual routine, providing them with meals on time, walks, play sessions, and lots of love. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, stress-free, and well cared for.
“We booked at the last minute and changed our travel plans a bunch but Rose was super accommodating. She was amazing with our unruly dogs and took tons of photos!”

“Kaili took excellent care of my shy, anxious dog. She kept me informed and sent great pics and videos. She obviously formed a warm bond with my dog. And she left my house spotless. Thank you!”

“Thank you Diana for taking care of Roxy. I don’t think Roxy had separation anxieties, but we did. Your pictures and notes helped us relax and enjoy our vacation. We appreciated that you walked Roxy a lot. We will definitely ask you to dog and house sit again if we go on any more trips. It was really nice to come into a clean and neat house and yard. Again, thank you for everything.”

“Awesome service we’re very happy with the way everything went. Tiana was very communicative and sent us pictures. She took the dogs out for walks and fed them on time and gave them their medication and of course gave them all the lovin they needed while we were away. We were very happy with her service.”

“Reaven did a really wonderful job taking care of my dog Prince and cat Arya! She arrived Saturday morning and stayed over until Sunday afternoon. I was SO nervous to leave my pets with someone I didn’t know. When we adopted Prince about 10 months ago, he had extreme anxiety and a lot of aggression. He is a 6 lb yorkie terrier/ chihuahua so he’s not too intimidating but potential aggression is never fun to deal with. He has come a long way since his first day home but I was still worried about him regressing when I left for my overnight. I gave Raeven very detailed instructions on how to care for my pets and she followed them exactly. When I warned Raeven about the possible behavior regression she said she was willingly to take on the challenge. She even suggested a meet and greet ahead of time so both my pets and I could get to know her. Not only did Prince really take to her but my very shy cat Arya came out and enjoyed meeting her as well. While I was away she provided me with regular updates and pictures-which I loved! When I got home I was welcomed to my apartment still very tidy-she did a nice job cleaning up after herself and the pets, and a good report as Prince had zero aggressive incidents and Arya regularly socialized with her. I was so relieved that it went so well! Now I have a future pet sitter who I know I can rely on and that my pets really love. I can’t recommend Raeven enough :)”

“Libby did great watching our dog Archie for a few days! She kept me fully updated on when she’d be gone and sent pictures frequently. Archie is anxious with new people but he quickly warmed up to her and they became best friends!!”

Jessica does a consistently amazing job. Our dogs are always happy, she is attentive, provides regular updates, leaves the house immaculate, and helped us out big time by being flexible when we were in a pinch. She goes out of her way to confirm details and seamlessly handled medication twice a day. More than anything else, she is a calm presence and we have peace of mind the entire time we are away. There’s a reason we’re repeat customers :).

Jessica had excellent communication leading up to along with during her stay with our dog. She asked great questions during meet and greet. She is responsible and trustworthy. She took great care of our dog (and home) while we were away and sent meaningful updates and photos. We would be happy and grateful to have her again!

Brooke did an amazing job taking care of our home and two fur babies while we were gone for nine days!! She was very loving and attentive to Rosa & Blitz. Rosa is having some difficulty after her dental surgery and she was there for her to help however she could and communicated everything. Appreciated the pics and videos. She took great care of our home as well and left everything super clean and in order. It was so nice to have peace of mind that our pups were in such great hands while we were away!

Tatum was wonderful with my pup. She was patient and caring for him. She even took him out on an adventure and sent me pictures for updates. He ate and slept 5 minutes back into where I am staying. Would definitely recommend! He is a large boy and handled him perfectly including teaching some training tips, extra bonus. My pup would also add that he loved her giving him treats! Excellent day for pup.

Deborah is a fantastic dog sitter. One of my dogs needs his bladder expressed and she handled that no problem. She checked in with us before her stay that nothing had changed in the care they needed, and sent us tons of pics and vids of them clearly having a great time together :) She even threw the sheets in the wash before she left! Easy 5 stars.
