Julia was kind, thoughtful, and attentive to our pup. Even when there was a slight hiccup, she was communicative and supportive. We will definitely be contacting Julia again!

Trina is dependable and very sweet to our dog who isn’t the easiest to take on walks due to her reactiveness around other dogs.

Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.

I have had Alejandro care for our two large terrier/lab mix dogs for over a year and a half now. He is one of only two people in this world I would trust with the care and treatment of my pups. He also house sits for us and is exceptionally respectful and responsible in his duties. He always gives updates and asks follow up questions to make sure he is doing everything possible for the safety and wellbeing of Tyson and Laney. I recommend him 100%!!

Hallie is such a kind person! My dog major absolutely loves her, he will often choose to sit with her instead of me. She is timely and responsible. You can tell she gets real enjoyment from being around animals. Pleased to have made such a good, reliable connection in the area. :)

Alexis is one of my Shih Tzu-Pomeranian mix Piper's favorite people! That says a lot because, as an undersocialized rescue, Piper generally takes a while to warm up to new people and can get anxious very easily. Alexis was patient and warm, and knew how to make Piper comfortable. And now Piper always gets SO excited when they meet up! I can't recommend Alexis enough!! Bonus: Alexis is also great at taking pictures, so you'll end up with adorable shots of your pet. :)

Patrick is one of the most responsible young men I know! He is my go-to guy for watching Chance, my two and a half year old black lab & pitbull mix. Chance is 85 lbs, so energetic and so stubborn - but Patrick keeps him well behaved and well attended! He (Patrick, not Chance) is sweet, patient, and detail oriented. He never forgets the little things, like favorite toys or diet restrictions. Patrick is great with all breeds - dogs and people too! I definitely recommend him!

About: When it comes to dogs, I've got experience with every stage of life—from the energy of a bouncing puppy learning its first commands to the gentle, watchful care of senior dogs who need extra comfort and support. My secret? I tune in to each dog's unique personality and needs. I’m that person who will sit with a shy pup until they feel safe, or go on an extra-long walk for high-energy dogs who need to burn off steam. And if you've got a clever escape artist or a curious troublemaker, I’m not afraid to get creative! I’ve trained dogs to master basic commands, helped socialize pups for better behavior, and used enrichment activities to keep clever minds active and engaged. 🦴 My goal is to leave every dog not only happier but a bit wiser (or at least more tired!) than when we started. Simply put, I’m not just a dog sitter. I’m the friend who’ll show up with treats, patience, and a heart dedicated to making each visit as enriching as it is fun. Because to me, every pup is family. 🐾 Pet care is woven right into my everyday life, making it easy for me to provide attention and love throughout the week! With my flexible schedule, your furry friend will rarely be left alone and can enjoy a homey, cozy atmosphere all day long. I’m in school, but my afternoons are wide open for playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention. 🐕 Once I'm home, I focus fully on their needs—whether it’s burning off some energy with a game of fetch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply some cuddle time on the couch. Weekends? Even better! I have all the time in the world to make sure your pup feels right at home. With my adaptable schedule and dog-friendly setup, you can count on a reliable, warm environment that fits naturally into my routine, keeping your pet safe, happy, and thoroughly entertained! 🐾 Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Living in the Stanford dorms, I’ve created a pet-friendly space where dogs can feel right at home, even in a new environment. My dorm is cozy and inviting, with enough space for your pet to relax, play, or curl up for a nap. 🐶💼 Stanford’s campus is filled with beautiful common areas and plenty of green spaces, perfect for a daily dose of exercise and fresh air. Whether it’s a peaceful walk through tree-lined paths or a playful romp on a nearby lawn, your dog will have a chance to explore and enjoy the outdoors in a safe, controlled way. 🏞️ I’m mindful of routines and safety practices, so your pup will always have the structure they need to feel secure. Whether it’s managing mealtimes, sticking to established commands, or simply offering reassuring attention, I make sure every dog feels right at home. You can trust that your pet will not only be safe but will also be showered with all the love and care they deserve. 🐾

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience with big and small, and I have raised a puppy. I am a PhD student, so I stay indoors and read books and write papers all day. That said, I love taking breaks every 2 hours to go for a walk... looking for a dog to join me! I live in a small apartment with my wife. We have no pets of our own yet, nor any pet supplies. Please provide supplies (bed, food, leash, crate if needed).

Hector has taken care of my dog Don Julio on multiple occasions, and he is by far the person that I most rely on and appreciate taking care of him. He is extremely responsible and attentive to all of Don Julio's needs, including giving him his medication and food on time, as well as making sure his water bowl is always full. He also loves playing with him and I can tell how close my dog has become to Hector because he is always sad to leave his place. If you want someone who will create the best experience for your pet Hector is definitely the person to choose.

My friend Tammy is amazing with pets, true attention to detail, gentle and always patient. Tammy walked my dog so many times, and each time, my pup came back home all tuckered out but grinning ear to ear. It's not just a job for Tammy, she really loves what she does, and the animals can sense it. Give her a try. You won't regret it!

Jen has been taking care of dogs for at least 20 years. She has been always caring and nurturing towards her pets. One of the things that I appreciate the most is her constant vigilance. She will quickly notice issues with our dog. She will always give a 30 minute walk with our dogs every day so he doesn't get bored at home. Regardless if you need someone to care for your dog for a few hours or the whole day Jen is the right person to call.
