“Kept us informed! Took great care of our pets and our home! Followed all our pets special care needs. We relaxed and had a wonderful vacation knowing that our pets were safe and sound! Highly recommend!!!”

“Michelle was fantastic! We needed someone last minute to housesit our hyper husky. Michelle got back to us promptly and was responsible, trustworthy and professional. I’m so glad I met her, and I definitely plan on using her again in the future.”

“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”

“Iris was amazing and our pup loved having her with him! She is so conscientious and communicated each day with sweet updates and pictures. Iris is a wonderful house and pet sitter! Thank you Iris!”

“Caroline was great with our senior dachshund. She stayed with him for a weekend at our place and kept us updated on how he was doing. She was kind, thoughtful, and responsible. We will hire her again the next time we go out of town!”

“HoChuen day-sat our dog for several hours while we were out. I would highly recommend him. He was conscientious and prompt and asked good questions before we signed him up. He was on time and engaged with our dog and followed up on our instructions. He communicated when he thought there was a problem and asked for our input. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again. I recommend him to other users.”
About: I have always loved animals, and grew up around cats and dogs, I have pet sit for many relatives, friends, and acquaintances, and have experience watching all ages of pets, from helping train puppies, to caring for senior dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pet never has to be alone. I love spending quality time with animals, and can adjust my schedule accordingly to your pet’s needs. I currently offer dog and cat sitting in the client’s home. I am reliable and respectful of the client’s home and make sure everything is safe and clean, and that the pets are comfortable in their own home. I have pet sit in homes in Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Redwood City.
About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I’m a stay at home pet mom so your baby is sure to get all the attention they want. I do walks, hikes, and even playtime at the park! If you think your baby would enjoy it, I can bring my own along- a friendly & energetic mixed breed boy- so they can tire each other out! I live minutes from the DOLA at Central Park in San Mateo and a short drive away from any of the dozens of parks & trails here on the peninsula. I’m a stay-at-home pet mom so caring for your pets is my full time job! I’m here if you need same-day care, a regular walk, or a long play & snuggles session. For home stays, it’s your pet, your way! I can give baths, medication, toys, and all the snuggles they need. I’ll be sure to follow any instructions to the tee and love them like my own. I have a full house with two cats and a puppy (I did say I was a pet lover 😅) but we’ve had other’s dogs and cats stay with us without any problems! I always take care of my guests as if they were my own and all my boys are friendly so we have a blast every time. Whether they’re staying with me or I stay with them, I will follow any instructions to the tee!
“Marshall connected with our dog during the meet and greet. He was communicative and patient. The photos of our dog "smiling" were precious. He's responsible, neat, and my pup enjoyed her time with him.”

About: My love for dogs grew into a passion for animals which eventually shaped my current career by studying them in college. Graduating with a Bachelor’s in animal sciences sets me apart from others as I present and apply myself everyday with knowledge and experience I have gained working with dogs and various species over time. Additionally, I have owned large dogs my whole life and was always familiar with standard pet parent procedures. Recently I have taken time away from my job to further my focus on animal studies, so I have plenty of time to look after or walk your pet on the weekdays in mornings, afternoons, and possibly evenings! I believe good instructions are at the forefront of the best care specific to your pet and attention to detail. I listen to what your pet is asking of me since after all, it is their house, not mine, and make sure to use my judgement accordingly to accommodate to whatever they may need or be asking of me. I ensure the basic necessities are always available including water, food as requested, and enrichment. When walking, I pay attention to the environment and all cues I receive from the pet to ensure the utmost comfort for us and everyone around.
About: Hi there! My name is Estefania, and I've loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two wonderful dogs who taught me the joy of companionship and unconditional love, and I adopted two kittens who completely stole my heart. I began pet sitting when I was about 17 years old, helping neighbors and friends with their dogs and cats. Since then, I've gained years of experience providing dependable, loving care from feeding and walking to cleaning litter boxes and making sure each pet feels safe and happy while their owners are away. Safety, comfort, and awareness are at the core of how I care for animals. I always respect each pet's boundaries, give them time to get comfortable with me, and build trust at their own pace. My goal is to make every furry friend feel calm, loved, and well taken care of. If you're looking for someone responsible, caring, and genuinely enthusiastic about animals, I'd love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m available for walks between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM, and again in the evenings from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM, perfect for morning exercise or evening strolls. I also offer overnight care on Friday and Saturday nights for pet parents who need a trusted sitter while they’re away. During those times, your pets get my full attention, affection, and care, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re gone. I always make sure to give pets the time to get used to me and my presence around them. Making them feel safe and comfortable is always a priority when it comes to animals of any kind. I’m a loving pet person, who will provide your pet with care, softness, playfulness and affection.

“We love Emmy! She is the absolute sweetest, and our pup just adores her. She is kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and we never worry for a second when our dog is with her. We will 100% ask Emmy to watch our girl in the future and couldn’t recommend her more highly!!”
