“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!”

“Sammy was highly responsive and responsible, took good care of our cat, and arrived on time each day. They even went out of their way to make up time that had accidentally been missed. I will be looking to book them for future travel.”


“Xinyuan did a fantastic job taking care of my cat. She made sure everything on my care guide was followed carefully and kept me updated throughout. I would definitely book her again.”

“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: 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.
“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 .”


About: I’ve always had dogs in the home ranging from small to big! I have dedicated a lot of my time to training the as well! I also (unfortunately) have experience with taking care of sick pets. I love going on walks in the city and would love to have a furry friend along! I’m currently working part time so have a lot of free time to take care of pups! I am also attending SFSU right now, but have gaps between classes and can attend to puppies as needed! Available for house sittings all through the week, however I do work brunch shifts on weekends. I can give as many updates throughout the day that I am asked for! I love going on walks and exploring the city and would be so excited to take furry friends with me! I also have a dog of my own to keep your dog company if that’s okay with their owner!
About: I have rescued, sheltered and homed 15 cats with varying special needs. I have fostered newborns, and have provided rehabilitative medical care. Trust and stress management are integral to the way I interact with cats. I'm currently working from home and so I will generally be around all day. My daily cleaning routine includes the litter boxes and food bowls, along with notes on food/water consumption and elimination. Your cat will have places to hide and feel safe, and will get as much or as little attention as they want. There are currently no other cats or animals in the apartment.

“Will is the best! I was so happy to know my cat was in good hands while I was away. He kept in very close contact and sent videos/photos/etc. I will absolutely go back to him in the future, and I'm so thankful for his service. Thank you, Will!”

“Ajaya was great with Tuppy. She was very responsive and communicative with me. I asked her to check in on him for an extra day and she got back to me right away before she left for vacation. Really appreciate her playing with Tuppy and taking care of him. Would absolutely book again!”

About: With over 10 years of dog care experience, my husband and I treat every pup like our own. Plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs guaranteed! My husband and I both have flexible work schedules, so there’s always time for walks, play, and cuddles. Your pup will never miss out on attention or care! My husband and I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, always with your pet’s safety in mind. One of us stays roadside during walks to keep your furry friend protected and happy—it’s our #1 priority!
“Laxmi was amazing as always! Our very anxious cat always feels so comfortable with her and Laxmi makes it a point to send us adorable pictures and was also very flexible on the time and duration of sitting which we greatly appreciated!”

“So happy that we Charles was able to watch our babies! He was very communicative which we appreciated while being so far away from home. Will definitely have him watch our cats again if he’s available.”

About: Hi, I'm Femke. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, family, and neighbors for almost a decade. What started as a hobby quickly became something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Now, I’m excited to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, preparing for a degree in Cynology (dog behavior) next year. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and intuitive approach. I’ve walked high-energy pups who need structure and stimulation, cared for seniors who require slower walks and medication, and provided companionship to anxious or shy dogs who just need someone gentle and understanding. I’m confident in handling leash reactivity, administering basic medications, and keeping routines consistent to help dogs feel safe and secure. My focus is always on building trust, so your dog feels comfortable with me, and fully enjoys the time we spend together. I’m studying part-time to prepare for my Cynology (dog behavior) degree next year, and have no other major commitments - your dog gets my full attention. My days revolve around walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, so I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and (most) holidays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to build trust with each dog, starting with a meet-and-greet to understand their routines, triggers, and preferences. During walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and stick to safe, familiar routes. I will not do off-leash unless in client-approved spaces and with your explicit consent. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your routines, respect your space, and provide real-time updates with photos and notes, so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog(s) the care and companionship they deserve.

Sophia was a wonderful cat sitter!!! She took amazing care of my boy and he loved her so much! 🥰 Sophia was also a wonderful, prompt communicator and was able to help me with an errand at my house while I was gone! I highly recommend Sophia and would love to have her watch Waffles again ☺️

She took great care of my cat Lucy while I was away. I really appreciated the Rover cards, photos, and the extra updates she sent by text. It made me feel a lot better about being away for the week. I also felt really comfortable having her in my home. You can tell right away that she’s a genuinely good person, and Lucy trusted her almost immediately, which says a lot. I would definitely book with her again!

I can’t say enough great things about Elena! She took excellent care of my cat, giving me detailed updates with photos and videos of her visits. My cat is pretty timid with new people, but he opened up to her right away, even getting into her lap for cuddles by day 2. Thank you, Elena!!

Nadya did a great job as usual! We introduced a second cat to our household just a couple months ago, and Nadya did a terrific job handling the tricky dynamic. She was able to give our new cat her pill medication and took great care of both of them. She was attentive and communicative as usual.

Joslyn was amazing with my cats. She was very professional and ensured to take care of my house and also ensuring the cats had everything they needed. My fearful cat only took one day to settle in and come out for pets from Joslyn. Will definitely work with her again when next I need a sitter.

Kristyn was amazing while watching Otis. She made everything easy from the start, kept me in the loop, and I could tell she actually cared about him and his routine (not just popping in and leaving). When I got home, Otis was happy and calm, which says a lot. I felt totally at ease knowing she was looking after him, and I’d absolutely have her sit for him again.
