“johnathan stopped in for a drop-in visit to meet and greet our two English cream golden retrievers, which he will be sitting for in July for six days. Johnson something seemed like a genuine soul and a dog loving person. I appreciate it Johnathan for his punctuality and his calm demeanor and his willingness to let the dogs adapt to him slowly. Our older dog took to him right away And will be the role model for our youngest one he handled it exceptionally well and I appreciate his calm demeanor and kind of words. I think the dogs will be very happy with Johnathan as their sitter for six nights. I’m not sure that we ourselves. The parents will be OK because we’ve never left them that long Actually were nervous. The desk would be sending us pictures and updates twice today and that is very appreciated. Thank you, Donna.”


“Jane is an amazing dog sitter. She is very patient and caring with our 14 year blind dog. She goes the extra mile to ensure she is well taken care of. This is our 2nd time using Jane and can’t recommend her enough.”


“Kira was great! Usually my cats are very slow to come around but she said she was able to hold one of them. I greatly appreciate her being available somewhat last minute especially on a holiday weekend.”


“Sara was very professional and amazing to work with. She communicated well throughout, from the time we met and then scheduled to have her check in on Catness. She sent photos and spent time with Catness and Catness adored and enjoyed that time as well. We will definitely reach out to Sara again the next time we plan to be away!”


“Tyler was reliable and communicative throughout the entire booking, did an awesome job looking after our senior cat and home. Highly recommend him!”


“Sharlet took great care of the dogs! She let me book her with short notice and did an excellent job. She stayed longer than necessary just to play with the dogs and give them some love. When I came home they were so happy.”


“Rebecca is a trusted per sitter. We are repeat customers because she does an amazing job caring for our precious Lola. She is reliable and responds to the needs of our girl.”


“Myrna has been great with my senior, special needs pup. She has proven to be reliable and very thorough with her updates. I feel that my pup is in good hands with Myrna and will be booking her again in the future.”


About: I have taken care of dogs since i was young. My family, friends, and neighbors would all ask me when everyone would go out of town. We love being outside and love going to walks. I grew up with 12 dogs at one time from puppies to elderly ones! We will love your babies like our own. I currently work full time and my husband is a stay at home dad to our son. We are available at all times even 24 hours in advance. Mornings, afternoons, night time. I have a fenced in yard. We currently do not own any animals our self. We can crate your animal if needed as we have our own animal cages that fit up to XL animals. Animals are allowed inside the house and on the furniture.


“Merlyn is very communicative, conscientious and reliable. She does a great job and gives you peace of mind that your kitty will be fine while you are away! She also sends lots of photos so you know everything is OK.”


About: I provide dependable, loving care for both cats and dogs—always tailored to their unique personalities and routines. I’ve trained multiple dogs who became service animals, so I bring patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to every interaction. I also understand and respect the independence of cats, offering a calm presence, clean litter boxes, and gentle companionship (with plenty of pets—if they want them!). Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, quiet company, or a consistent routine, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine. Caring for pets is also a great way for me to teach my kids responsibility, patience, and compassion for animals. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, or playtime, your pet will get consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific walking instructions—to help them feel secure and maintain consistency. I also take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and always using positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.

“I was very nervous about leaving our two kitties at home for a three-day trip. Thankfully we found Suzanne, and her calm demeanor put our mind at ease! Suzanne is very caring, kind, professional, and responsive. She’s a treasure!”


“Kasandra was a perfect fit for me and my puppy Theo. He loved playing with her and I loved getting pictures while I was at work! She was super flexible with time which is great due to me working night shift! I felt really comfortable having her in my home and taking care of Theo! I will definitely be using her again!”


About: With over 8 years of dedicated experience in dog sitting, I bring a lifelong passion for every pet I have the opportunity to care for. From playful puppies to senior dogs requiring specialized care, I have a proven track record of providing attentive and compassionate service. My journey began with my own 16-year-old poodle, whose complex needs required my very detailed and attentive care. I ensure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy under my watch. I will follow all provided instructions to every detail, keeping you updated for peace of mind. I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I provided my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! In 2016, I launched my independent dog walking and overnight care business, offering personalized care in clients' homes. My experience is further enriched by my volunteer work at the Berkeley Humane animal shelter in 2019, where I received comprehensive training in dog care. At the shelter, I mastered walking dogs of all breeds, administering medications, and providing special attention to those in need. I also developed skills in managing unpredictable behaviors and maintaining hygiene protocols, including the use of PPE around unvaccinated puppies. My background equips me to handle a wide range of situations with professionalism and care, ensuring every dog’s well-being. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I'll keep you updated with cuddly and joyful pictures, so you can feel reassured while your loved ones are in my care. I can’t wait to meet your pups and provide them with the best care possible!

About: I've been surrounded by and have taken care of animals my entire life. From growing up with both cats and dogs, to housesitting them for friends, family, and roommates in my 20's and 30's, to finally having my own in my 30's and 40's, I LOVE being around animals! I have past experience caring for Border Terrier's, English & French Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, Standard Poodles, Vizsla's, and Mixes of all kinds. Animals are our guardian angels sent to help guide us through this crazy world we live in. They deserve all the attention, care, love, rubs, and treats we have to offer. After all we are living in their world. Pet care is my full time job now having recently left a 23 year career with law firms as an Operations Manager. I'm a caretaker and I love being of service especially in times of need. I'm here to make your life easier and stress free whenever you need assistance with your fur baby. Be it walks during the day, drop-ins, doggy day care, boarding, or house sitting, I will work with you to meet you and your dogs needs. I also offer pick-up and drop-off service if needed. I share a larger one bedroom apartment in Hillcrest with my pet loving partner who works for Petco. Our unit has A/C, is smoke-free, has a covered outdoor patio, and we live across the street from a small grassy park-let. We only board up to two dogs at a time to ensure they have enough room to run around, relax, and feel at home. They are guaranteed to get lots of attention, play time, and love. I guarantee at least 4 outdoor activities a day when boarding; morning and evening walks, a midday walk/activity, and a bed time pee. For consistency of training and routine my care is an extension of your care/rules. I will work closely with you to understand your dogs routine, needs, and training.


About: I cared for my own dog for 10+ years before he passed and have experience dog-sitting for friends and family (both short and long term.) I love staying active, making me a great match for pups who need plenty of exercise and attention. I also have a car that I don’t mind getting dirty, so I can provide transportation if necessary! My schedule is very open right now, I am in the process of getting a part time job but even then I would still have plenty of time in my day to spend with some pups! In my own home, I have a fenced in backyard with a dog door so any pup would have free access to the backyard if needed. I also live right around the corner from a large park where a pup would be free to run around and explore to their hearts content!

“Courtney was the most caring and attentive cat sitter we’ve ever had. Her detailed messages each day were always thorough and gave us peace of mind that our cat was happy and in great hands. She truly went above and beyond with every aspect of the visit and we couldn’t be more grateful.”


About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. I've taken care of everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have experience handling easy going dogs to some of the more challenging companions that pull and lunge on walks. I also have experience administering medications whether they are oral or injections. Have additional questions? Contact me and I'm happy to answer! I work full-time but have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available mornings, lunchtime, or evenings for walks and drop-in visits. I'm also available on the weekends. I'm always very considerate of my clients home and leave things the way I found them. When it comes to coming and going from the home I am always cautious to make sure pets don't run out.
