“Danielle took such good care of my kitty! Generally my cat is quite shy and scared of people, but Danielle worked her magic! Showed a lot of love while I was gone and went above and beyond!! I would definitely recommend leaving your furry loved ones with her and will be reaching out to her again the future!”
“Yeri was absolutely wonderful while checking in on my cat, Maxine, during my four-day trip. She was incredibly kind, respectful of my space, and kept me updated with great photos and thoughtful report cards after each visit. Her communication was consistent and reassuring, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. Maxine seemed happy and well cared for, and I could tell she was in good hands. I would definitely rebook Yeri and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.”
“Adam was great: very patient and consistent. He took great care of my cat sasha who is very shy around people. Adam spent time petting and playing with him. sasha looked happy in the photos he sent me everyday!”
“Alexis is our go-to cat sitter - she takes such great care of our cats and is always so communicative! We left the cats for almost two weeks (the longest we’ve ever left them) and I was worried about how they’d do…but with constant care and attention from Alexis, they were totally content!”
“Elise was great with our rather shy kitty. She achieved head bumps and no doubt purring. She arrived on time and spent special time with a cat who gets lonely Kitty didn't miss us too much. We reccomend Elise.”
“Sam was an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties (1-year old brothers)! One of the cats needed a pill every day & Sam was totally great with that too. Sam is super responsible and really nice and also takes fantastic cat photos to look at while you’re away :)”
“Cat whisperer! Kellie has great communication, a solid understanding about animals and a genuine interest in caring for them, is responsive, punctual, and overall amazing. She has a wonderful rapport with our kitty - it's so sweet and heartwarming to see them play and interact with one another. We feel in good hands when we're away knowing she's well taken care of and it's a relief to know we can rely on her. We came back to a tidy house, so Kellie went above and beyond in our eyes. :)”
“I’ve already worked with Steph before and this visit was the same as usual: happy kittens with lots of love and attention. Steph always gives me peace of mind when I travel 😸”
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
About: I’ve been lucky enough to raise and care for three wonderful dogs, from tiny two-month-old pups to wise, gentle seniors — so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and energy level, and I adapt my care to suit what makes them happiest. On walks, I keep a close eye on what they sniff or try to eat, as well as how they interact with other pets we meet along the way — making sure every encounter is safe and friendly. I can also do basic training like “sit,” “paw,” and “roll,” using high-quality freeze-dried liver treats (with your permission, of course!). When we return from our walk, I’m happy to give them a gentle clean-up — wiping their eyes, paws, and rear with premium Earth Rated pet wipes — so they come home fresh and comfortable. I walk my own dog at least twice a day, so spending time with animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m an active person, averaging over 10,000 steps a day, and since I live in downtown Palo Alto, walking is also my main form of getting around. At my client’s home, I will feed the pets, play with them, and keep an eye out for anything unusual, letting the owners know right away if I notice something of concern. I’m also happy to handle basic pet-related clean-up when needed. Having raised three dogs myself, I’ve become skilled at giving relaxing dog massages — and if your pet enjoys gentle human touch, I’d be delighted to treat them to a soothing massage.
“Cameron took wonderful care of our two cats. We received pictures everyday and helpful updates on them. He was very professional in coordinating and generally a lovely person. Came home to two happy cats and a house in good condition! Would 100% recommend and re-book!”
About: I have over ten years of pet care experience. Growing up I volunteered at animal shelters and owned dogs and cats. I love pet sitting and have watched many animals for people in my community. I’m a law student looking to pet sit in the afternoon/ evenings Monday - Friday. Additionally, I have open availability on the weekends to work. When working with dogs I make sure to walk them and ensure that they get exercise and attention. When cat sitting I love entertaining the cats by playing with toys and giving them cuddles.
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. 🐾

“I’ve known Jess for over 15 years, and if there’s one thing you should know about her, it’s that she has a heart of gold when it comes to animals. She’s raised two amazing dogs over the years, pouring endless love, energy, and care into them—truly treating them like family (because to Jess, they are!!!). She just gets pets—their quirks, their needs, and what makes them happiest. And she understands exactly what pet parents need too: someone they can trust completely. Jess is the kind of person who will go the extra mile for your furry friend, whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or making sure they feel safe while you’re away. I can say with total confidence—any pet would be lucky to have Jess in their life!”
