“Juneau really seemed to like her. We had our home camera on and Mara was very appropriate in the home. She was easy to communicate with and followed our directions. We plan to use her in the future with our son’s dog.”
“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.”
“Danielle is super-attentive to instructions for pet care and always leaves detailed notes on every visit. Danielle always takes great photos of my cats, too. I would always recommend Danielle as a pet-sitter!”
“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 :)”
“Elise was helpful in booking additional hours at the last minute and she clearly connected with our dog during our short stay. She was responsible around the details of his care and I hope she can help us again soon!”
“Guilherme did a great job with our dogs! He was timely and provided a lovely update about his visit. We’re very thankful he has been able to help when we need it!”
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 has been helping with the care of our senior dog whenever we're out of town for about a year now. It's great to have someone who is responsive and consistent. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, which taught me that if they can coexist, anyone can. The cat, Garfield, totally ran the household though. Duh. I work full time in person so I have free time after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Also happy to stay over/housesit with your pet. I live alone in an apartment that’s comfortable for a pup. My family dog has stayed in it before so he can attest. I live next to a dog park and my neighborhood is very walkable.
About: I take care of lots of pets in my field of work and pet wellness is my passion. I’ve taken care of pets of my friends and family as well. I’m ready to care for your pet and grow my knowledge of pet care at the same time. I’m a full time student working part time. Although I’m busy most mornings due to school and work, I’m almost always available during the afternoon, especially evenings and nights! On weekends I’m available all day and night! Contact me and I’ll let you know what times I’m available specifically and we can work on a schedule that works for both of us! Safety is an important part of pet care. While I care for your pet, it’s important to me that I’m knowledgeable on your pet’s personal medications, eating and drinking habits, as well as playfulness and exercise habits. I’ll work closely with you and your pet to care for them in the best way possible!
“Alexis was fantastic with our cats Luna and Toro! Her attention to detail was impressive and her communication was excellent. She sent lots of wonderful photos during each visit and left very detailed notes that kept us worry-free while away. We returned to happy cats and a tidy home. Highly recommend Alexis for anyone seeking a reliable, caring cat sitter!”
“Jenna was great at taking care of our 2 senior cats - Marley and Bailey. She gave very detailed rover cards, sent photos, was very quick to reply and followed instructions well. I would recommend her and will use Jenna in the future.”
“Jaya was great with Cooper! She is very reliable, and excellent at communicating & sharing updates after every interaction. We always get nervous when traveling, but she quickly put us at ease. We will definitely book her again. 🐾”

Shilu W.
“I’ve known Jess W. for years, and I can say without a doubt that any pet in her care will be happy, safe, and loved. We used to walk her sweet dog Nono and my dog piyo together, and I’ve seen firsthand how patient, attentive, and caring Jess is with animals. She treats every pet like family—whether it’s making sure they get the perfect walk, giving them plenty of playtime, or just offering a reassuring cuddle. Jess is also incredibly reliable and thoughtful, so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry friends are in the best hands.”
