“Trina took incredible care of our dog Dolly, taking things like the weather into consideration and also keeping in constant communication with us. She left the house spotless and even tidied Dolly’s toys up.”

“Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”

About: I grew up with big active dogs so I understand their needs and habits including affection, energy, and naughty tricks. I volunteer at an animal shelter so am well versed in a variety of dog breeds and dogs with unique histories. Because I am a grad student, I have the flexibility to be at home with your pet while I study. I have acted as a cat sitter as well and have come to love them too! I do not have experience with new kittens so adult cats preferred please. This summer I am fully at your disposal. I am on summer break between grad school programs. You can expect full time attention to your pets. Will update come fall. Your guidelines are my rules! I am happy to crate your pets, let them roam free, or have them sleep in the bed with me (more common request than you’d think) LOL. If you are local, I am happy to let your pup have some outside off leash time in my own fenced in yard, but I do not board dogs in my own home as I live with family while in grad school. I am happy to stay at your home or if you are local, just swing by for hangouts, walks, and bathroom breaks. If you are outside of Pleasanton, overnight stays at the dog’s home are preferred due to travel time. I am also capable of administering dog medications including pills and oral liquids, just leave me instructions!
“Thank you to Alex for taking care of my boy! It was so nice to be able to go away for a few days and know he was well cared for. I know he can be a handful. Please get some rest you deserve it.”

“Anne took wonderful care of our two year old doodle Zion for 5 days. She is a great communicator which put us at ease while we vacationed, sending texts and videos to us. She kept Zion busy on walks and playing games with him. We will use Anne in the future!”
“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

“Andrew was great! He was attentive of Timon and updated me on how he was doing throughout the day. Timon chomped down on a Christmas light and Andrew was quick to respond to get it out of his mouth and put the pieces where he couldn't get them. Will definitely reach out to Andrew again!”


About: I’ve dedicated years of my life to the care field. I have two years of experience in an assisted living home and I feel I bring a lot of skills I can apply when it comes to pet sitting including medication administration as I am currently a med-tech here. Along with my love for animals. I would love to combine the two. I’m open to incorporating dog walks, check ins, and even overnight house sitting to ensure your pet is safe loved and receiving the attention and care it deserves even when you’re not there. I care for pets as if they’re my own, ensuring the best quality of care for each one. I have no limit of love to share with any animal I encounter.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy caring for them. When I was younger, I attended an SPCA summer camp where I learned about animal care and responsibility, which helped grow my passion for pets. I grew up around dogs and had my family dog for 16 years, helping with his daily care and giving him lots of love and attention. He was my best friend and I loved him more then anything. I have also worked as a nanny and often cared for the families' dogs when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with dogs. I am patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own. I truly love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a very flexible schedule and do school online so I am open all the time to help you with your any of your animal needs! I have a house where I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I have a spacious house and a huge backyard where dogs can play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I make sure they have constant supervision, fresh water, regular feeding schedules, and lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I prioritize their comfort by providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.
“Great communicator, kept great care of my duo and kept me well informed. Kept to their walking schedule and provided much love, attention and cuddles for my babies! Love working with Lauren!”

“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.

“Amy came to our house and watched our cat and our dog. She gave us daily updates and pictures. She was very nice, and communicative which was so nice since it was our first time leaving our cat. We will definitely be using Amy again.”
