“Alison was excellent! She is kind, responsible, helpful and we will definitely book her again. She followed all our instructions and went above and beyond them. Thank you for watching our cats!”

“Andrea's super attentive and caring and followed all instructions wonderfully! She got along really well with my cat, would definitely book again in the future!”

“When I met Joslyn I instantly felt her warm and positive energy. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat Flora. It was not an easy job because Flora has experienced extreme trauma and she is an elderly cat. Where others would have given up, Joslyn was patient and not intimidated by Flora’s stressed demeanor. She took her time and slowly took the necessary steps to ensure she received the care she needed. I appreciated the videos and photos she took during each visit. She even brought in our mail and packages while we were away. I highly recommend her and plan on connecting with her in the future if I need cat sitting.”


“Polina is great! So sweet with my super shy puppy and even stayed longer than planned to get him comfortable with her. She’s very communicative and showed up right on time. We hope she’ll come back again!”

“Maria did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was super communicative and gave great updates and pictures, and gave my cat lots of pets and love--when we came home our cat was happy and in a great mood thanks to Maria's amazing care. Thank you again Maria!”

“Marianna watched our cat, Spock, while we were out of town for the holidays! It was so nice to receive the daily updates and know he was doing well and so happy to have play time. I highly recommend Marianna- she was always communicative in scheduling and clearly put extra effort into her visits with Spock!”

About: Stanford professional and gentle dog lover who works 5 days/week from home in South Beach Soma SF. I can only accommodate 1-2 dogs (max) in my 1-BR condo and as I build my boarding experience, giving your dog(s) personalized attention and hugs and love. If you have 2 dogs, they will totally love being alone with me in my clean, cozy condo! I send regular pics and videos to you, so you can have a happy and care-free trip/vacation! And take them down regularly for walks and bio-breaks. :) ADVANTAGES: - Small dog groups (1-2 maximum) - Personalized 1-on-1 attention - Flexible scheduling (appts and cancellations) - Convenient location (easy drop-off/pick-up) DISCLAIMER: I don’t have much experience with untrained puppies and older dogs with complex medication routines. I work from home 5 days/week and can take care of your dogs during the week and weekend (especially long/holiday weekends). I can take them for walks as often as needed, due to my flexible work hours (I barely have any meetings/Zoom calls). You can schedule drop-off and pick-up anytime during the day or night. I live in a 800-sq ft 1-bedroom condo in South Beach SoMa, in the middle of the city, easy for drop-offs and pick-ups. Cute small balcony with artificial grass, where your dogs can sunbathe and enjoy fresh air for hours. Multiple elevators for going up and down (no stairs for your dog to climb). I only wish to accommodate 1-2 dogs at a time, due to my condo size and growing experience. If you have 2 dogs, this is the perfect place to drop them off, as they will be the only dogs with me.
“My usual cat-sitter had to cancel last minute, but Sammy stepped up and was extemely responsive, responsible, and communicative. She followed instructions very well - which was especially impressive, as we weren't able to meet in person beforehand (so all of my instructions were given over a video call). I felt incredibly reassured that my cat was being well taken care of while I was away and would not hesitate to use Sammy as a sitter again.”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny lapdogs to 100+ pound pups who are convinced they’re lapdogs too! In recent years, cats have become a big part of my life as well, and I’ve grown to appreciate each cat’s unique personality and needs. As a caregiver by nature, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and plenty of companionship. I currently work as a child caregiver 9-5. Once I’m off for the day I will immediately check on your fur baby and give them all the love and care they need! Your pet’s safety comes first! I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor behavior, maintain routines, and provide a calm, secure, loving environment while you’re away.
“Sebastian was great to work with! They were super nice, great communicator, and did a thorough job every visit. I will definitely be reaching out to them again for future trips.”


About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my Jack Russell Terrier for 16 amazing years, so I’ve been through it all - puppy energy, training moments, senior snuggles, and everything in between! 🤍 I’m also the go-to dog auntie for my friends and family, which has given me lots of hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pup is playful and high-energy, a little shy at first, or in their sweet senior era, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own - with patience, attention, lots of love, and plenty of tail-wag worthy care. 🤍🐾 I have a very flexible schedule since I work freelance in design, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I love getting outside and usually spend 2–3 hours walking daily, so having a pup to join me is the best part. I’m available for walks any day of the week from 9AM to 10PM, and I’m always happy to be consistent, reliable, and accommodating—including last-minute requests or schedule changes when life happens. Safety and trust are really important to me, especially when I’m caring for someone else’s dog. On walks, I’m always attentive and present—keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding unsafe areas, and paying close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and surroundings. I tailor each walk to the dog, whether that means a slower, gentler pace for seniors or a more active walk for high-energy pups. I’m also mindful of things like weather, busy streets, and other dogs to make sure every walk feels safe and comfortable. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and always follow any specific instructions closely. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is in caring, reliable hands.

“Will has been and continues to be the best. Always reliable and easy to communicate with. He genuinely cares about our two cats and we couldn’t be more grateful for his help when we travel!”
“Tilek was amazing ! We booked last minute and he helped out so much . He sent videos and pictures and we came home to a happy calm puppy. You can tell how passionate and how much he cared and it made our day. We will definitely rebook with him .”

“Julia was amazing! She cared for our new puppy so well and left us feeling so secure in his care! She was thorough and provided lots of updates. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I’ve cared for animals my entire life—starting with family pets as a kid and continuing into adulthood. I’m that person who always stops to say hi to dogs on the street and offers treats to the neighbor’s pup. While now isn’t the right time for me to have a dog of my own, I’d love nothing more than to care for yours like family. What sets me apart from other sitters? It’s the genuine joy I get from spending time with animals, plus decades of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs—puppies who need patience and training, seniors who need a gentle touch, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs active play, calm companionship, or special attention, I adapt to their personality and needs. I only care for one pet at a time, which means your dog gets my full attention, personalized care, and a stress-free environment that feels like home. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with lots of love, belly rubs, and safety first. You can count on timely updates, adorable photos, and honest communication every step of the way. Let’s give your dog their next favorite staycation! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals are a top priority in my day-to-day life. I work in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but I make sure every pet in my care gets a walk or bathroom break first thing in the morning and again as soon as I get home. Most weekday evenings, I do step out for about an hour to go to the gym, but otherwise, I’m home and available for plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I’m fully available Friday through Monday, which allows for a more flexible, hands-on schedule—perfect for pets that need extra attention or time outside. Whether it’s a relaxing weekend with a senior pup or a full-on playdate with an energetic cat or dog, I’m ready and excited to provide loving care tailored to their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and every animal is treated like family. For dog stays, I’m lucky to have a green space and dog park just a 5-minute walk from my home, making potty breaks and playtime easy, safe, and consistent. I always use a secure leash and harness system and never take chances when it comes to your dog’s safety outdoors. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined. I make sure they feel secure and seen—even the shy ones! Whether your pet needs medications, enrichment, or just some quiet companionship, you can count on me for thoughtful, attentive care. Clear communication, reliability, and trust are the foundation of how I work. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

Nadya took excellent care of my high energy puppy and he absolutely loved her. She’s super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos and meaningful updates which was very sweet to be able to see and read while stuck at work missing my baby! She’s an excellent dog sitter—very trustworthy and responsible, I would have her back anytime!

We once again relied on Patty to help watch our cat while we were traveling overseas and were again very grateful for the wonderful care and updates she shared for every visit! She paid special attention to Kitty’s quirks and needs and gave her just the right attention and play that her shy but loving nature needs! Also appreciated Patty always refilling Kitty’s puzzle toys after every visit so she’d be left with some entertainment between visits! Thanks again Patty!

William was fantastic! He handled all of my cat’s general and special needs carefully, and my cat absolutely adored him as seen in some of the pics I got to receive every day! I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for little man. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly great with animals. Highly recommend.

Beatrice is great! She has experience with cats and genuinely connects with them. She was very responsive and sent really sweet photos of our cats which helped us relax while we were out of town, knowing she was checking in on them and giving them pets. Thank you, Beatrice!
