1. Aimi S.

“Amazing cat sitter!!! Aimi was very careful following my instructions and if smth wasn’t clear enough, she immediately asked me😃 She would take multiple videos of her playing with my fur balls and feeding them treats, it was Adorable 😊 She definitely went above and beyond: most sitters don’t wash pets’ bowls after they finish eating and don’t vacuum the whole floor around the litter box☺️ I couldn’t have done it better myself! Highly recommend 💛”


2. Sin Hang L.

“I booked Sin Hang last minute once I realized I desperately need help with my new rescue. She was very responsive, easy to communicate, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this sitter.”




3. Briana G.
“Briana is an responsible and reliable dog lover. She will make sure to care for your fur baby as much as you would for them.”


4. Hazel L.

“Hazel was so amazing with Tot! She sent adorable pictures, spent a good long while with her, and was extremely communicative and reliable. She also went above and beyond her cat sitting duties by bringing in a package and helping us roll out our trash cans for pick-up while we were gone.”

6. Bailey U.
“Bailey is a responsible worker and caregiver for her dog, Tessie, and she has cared for our dog Luna and our cat Cheeto multiple times. Each time, she did awesome at caring for the pets and providing us with updates about how they were doing. Bailey always follows instructions and exercises good judgment when taking on any task and we will be happy to leave our pets with her in the future.”




7. Jennifer V.
“I can not speak highly enough about the care and love Jennifer has shown all my pets! For more than a decade she has been part of the lives of two of my dogs and my cat and I am so grateful for every minute. I live part time out of the country and when I am away, she stays in my home and treats them as they were her own. This summer our very old cat got ill while we were away. Jennifer let us know immediately and arranged for her to see a vet. She made sure she received fluids and medication and was comfortable until we could get home to be with her. This is something that I hope no pet-sitter has to go through, but I am so grateful if someone had to, it was someone who not only acted in the most responsible way, but also in the most caring. I could go on and on and on about how amazing Jennifer is. If you are looking for an amazing individual to stay and your home and care for your pets, look no further!”


8. My D.

“I knew my two cats would be well-taken care of while I was away. My sent daily updates and pics/videos to ease my worries! She was super sweet with them. highly recommend her!”


9. Thomas L.

“Thomas was great, thank you!!”


10. Paolo M.

“Paolo is amazing! He was very communicative and flexible. Made me feel safe leaving my pets in his care. He was also willing to go above and beyond by brining in some large packages for us. He was not phased by my not-as-friendly cat and bonded well with the one that craved his attention. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”




11. Monica G.

“Monica provided us with so much peace of mind while we were out of town. We knew our cat was being well taken care of and she “forgave” us a lot sooner when we got home. We give Monica a lot of credit for that and highly recommend selecting her to care for your pets.”




12. Tam M.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for 14 years. I have experiences with boarding, sitting and walking for a year. I like to take the fur-babies new places and explore the city. I work full time during the day. I’m available early mornings before 9am and after 7:30pm. I’m also open on the weekends any time :) I have a huge front and back yard so they can run around and play all day if needed. Fur- babies are the best!!!! ;)


13. Elba C.
“Elba graciously took in a kitten my family had found dumped in the streets. Without hesitation, she picked up the kitten, got all the supplies and provided a loving home. To this day, she still sends me photos of that kitten who is now an adult. Spoiled is an understatement. Elba loves, cares, and protects this rescue along with the rest of her pets. She is responsible, kind, and most importantly patient.”


14. Yvonne H.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach and genuine love for animals. Having spent two years caring for coworkers’ dogs, I’ve developed a strong ability to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and routines. I don’t just watch over pets—I build a bond with them, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Additionally, my experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments has made me adaptable and attentive. I prioritize clear communication with owners, providing updates, photos, and ensuring peace of mind. Reliability, patience, and a commitment to top-quality pet care make me stand out in a field where trust is everything. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because I prioritize it as a natural part of my day. I plan my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’ve been caring for coworkers’ dogs for the past two years, I’m experienced in balancing pet care with other responsibilities while ensuring that every dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment by maintaining their regular routines, offering plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I ensure they have food and water, a cozy resting area, and follow any special care instructions from their owners. Safety and companionship are my top priorities.


15. Yssis Z.

“Yssis was amazing—very attentive to Louis and kept us updated with great communication. We are so thankful and will definitely use her agains. Thank you!!”


16. Megan C.
“Megan is an absolute animal lover and treats pets like royalty. Her dog Peppermint is cared for better than most children. She raves about Peppermint everyday and it’s clear how much she cares for animals in her care. She’s extremely thoughtful and careful when it comes to taking care of and walking dogs. I 100% recommend her for pet sitting and walking and know that if my dogs were in her care they’d be safe and spoiled!”


17. Maria M.
About: I’ve fostered and dog-sat dogs that are all sizes and ages. I am able to exercise high energy dogs. I have a flexible schedule. I have dealt with leash training and house training. I have a big fenced in yard and live near many parks. I am a college student, so I am flexible with times and days of the week. I am able for last minute tasks as well. I follow instructions of the dog owner and stick to their usual routine. I am able to take the dog out for many breaks and give lots of attention to the dog.


18. Maila D.
About: Hello! My name is Maila. Since the age of 10, I’ve had all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, fish, and parakeets), so I really can’t remember a time my household wasn’t filled with critters waiting to be cared for. On top of caring for the pets I already own, I also have experience with fostering dogs and volunteering at animal shelters. Whatever your pet care needs are, I’ve got you covered. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work night shifts, so I am currently available to care for pets between 11am to 4pm every day. I can be available anytime during weekends upon request. I will make sure to closely follow any rules/instructions you may have to ensure that everything runs smoothly for you and your pets. I believe in the importance of communication and will always keep in touch by sending updates.


19. Hoemin & Florence C.
About: Hi there! We are Min and Florence. We have grown up with pets our whole lives and now have a beautiful rescue pup that we share together. We are familiar with friendly or anxious/shy dogs as our dog was rescued from the dog meat trade. We would love to get to know your pets and take good care of them! We work from home so we have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to walking the dogs or stopping by to check on someone's pet. If you would like your dog to have a buddy, we are more than happy to bring our own pup along on walks. If they prefer to be alone, just let us know as we are more than happy to accommodate.


20. Elena C.
About: In the five years of taking care of my dog I have learned a lot. A combination of talking to other pet parents, the vet/vet staff, google and my curious mind has made me grow to be a better pet parent. Currently I work doing gigs which allows me flexibility on my schedule. In addition I am located centrally, allowing me to have access to both SF and the peninsula area. Home sittings and drop ins have been some of the things I have done for friends and their pets. For both home sitting and drop ins I have communicated with the pet parent ahead of time. Weather I have been trusted with a spare key or a door code, communication is key.
