“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”


About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.

About: I offer reliable dog care, including walks, feeding, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. My experience includes walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic pups to senior companions. I’m flexible with timing and can accommodate walks, daycare, or overnight stays based on your dog’s needs I’m currently in school and will be doing different small pet sitting gigs this summer! I would be able to come around 3 times a day. I have a dog and two cats of my own. I enjoy going on walks! I would love to care for your animals with the love that they need!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family multiple times, giving me real experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine by planning specific times for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, while also checking in throughout the day to make sure the dog is comfortable, safe, and getting enough attention. I would care for your dog in your home by monitoring bathroom breaks, providing regular walks, feeding them on schedule, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Having grown up with both Labs and Shepherds, I am very comfortable being around all sorts of dogs. I started dog sitting while I was in high school and loved the opportunity to get to know other breeds. I am experienced in sitting for dogs of all sizes, dog walking, and giving medication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so welcome any chance I get to care for others while their owners are away! I work Monday-Friday at a preschool, but have flexibility during my lunch hour if local to Livermore. During the week I am off by 4:30 or 5:30, depending on the day, and am completely open on weekends. While caring for your pets, I will always treat them as if they were my own. Every family has their own special routine, and I find that very important to follow to ensure each and every dog feels as comfortable as they can while their owners are away.
About: I’ve grown up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, snakes, and fish. I am currently living with two dogs and I adore them so much! I currently am working part-time Sunday through Thursday, and can commit to morning/afternoon check-in (before noon) as well as night time check-ins (after 5 pm). I will ensure your fur baby is well fed and taken care of! I will also make sure they have someone to play with while you’re away!

About: Hi my name is Allison, I am an experienced dog and cat sitter who has been pet sitting for 6 years. I also have my own pets who I adore, a charcoal lab and a black cat. I am an active caretaker, and can walk and play with animals easily. Looking for summer work as I am on summer break through the school district I work for. Please reach out with any questions! I currently work in the Pleasanton School District, therefore I have summers off and available. I am looking to pet sit for the summer until August. I have very flexible availability, and am easy to work with. I love all dogs and have my own that I adore! I can take your pets for walks, play with them in the house and the backyard as long as it is fenced. As someone who cares for your animals at your house, I am respectful of your space and make sure the priority is the care for your animals.
“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

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!
“This review is long overdue for the professional house/pet sitting job Michael did for us while we were overseas for 2 plus weeks in October. Michael is the ultimate professional you can trust with your home and pet while away. His communication was timely and helpful keeping us informed as to how Baylee was doing as well a minor house issue that he corrected for us. He not only cares for your pet, but he also customizes his care for any quirks and needs that your pet may have. Neighbors even commented on how well prepared he was to handle any issue that might arise during outing with your pet. We had complete trust in Michael and knew that Baylee was in good hands.”


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.
“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: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and other small animals. Friends and family trust me to take care of their pets of all ages/ different needs when they are out of town. This includes administering meds, feeding, walking and most importantly, playing! Can’t wait to meet!🐾❤️ I'm currently freelancing part time, so I'm very flexible when it comes to aligning with your pups schedules throughout the day/ week! I’m typically available between 7-9am, again around 2pm, and in the evening after 7pm. I pay attention to detail when it comes to checking in with your pup, making sure they are eating, meds are taken at appropriate times, walks are given, playing, and making sure they are going to the bathroom and not just sniffing around! Haha
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have over 25 years of experience. Currently, my pets, Luna and Nala, are staying with family in Southern California while I’m on a temporary assignment in Northern California. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and even caring for pets with special needs. Whether it’s playing with energetic pups or offering comfort to senior pets, I provide reliable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I work full time but I’m home by 4 PM each day, so I’m available for evening walks and boarding. On weekends, I’m always home and can dedicate even more time to caring for your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide personalized attention, especially on weekends. I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio where pets can safely roam and get fresh air. While I currently don’t have any pets of my own, I have plenty of space and a cozy environment to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If needed, I can also crate pets for added safety during their stay.
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.
“I am happy Kenya was able to be with my pups. We have had Kenya sit for a few over nights and each time she has been very communicative, sends picture updates and is on time. We will definitely ask her to stay with our home and pups again!”

Tina and Yaritza were a dynamic duo in helping take care of our little zoo at home - fish, kitties and our very spoiled dog. They are both very gentle and calm with the animals. We got pictures and updates during the weekend and came home to happy animals and a clean house. We will be booking with Tina again.
