“Thank you for taking such great care of Carmelo! I loved the photos throughout the visit and really appreciated all the communication. It looked like he had an awesome time with your family!”

“Our dog, Stan, does not easily warm up to people outside our family. We adopted him when he was 8 weeks old, and while he is well-socialized with other dogs, he remains very timid around new people. Before boarding Stan with Kimmy and Jesse, we had used the same sitter on two separate occasions, each for a week. During those stays, Stan always hid under her coffee table and never let her get close to him. However, with Kimmy and Jesse, the experience was completely different. On day four, Kimmy sent us pictures of herself petting Stan—a huge milestone for him. By day five, she was even able to take him on a walk around the neighborhood. Day by day, Stan grew more comfortable in their care. Seeing our timid dog so well cared for made us incredibly happy! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring couple or a more loving environment to board Stan. We are so grateful and look forward to boarding him with them on our upcoming spring break!”


“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”

“Very attentive and thorough! Took my dog for long walks, made sure she was well-fed, and paid close attention when she was around another dog. Would highly recommend!”

“It was Charlie's first experience boarding and Jifu did a great job. Charlie got a long great with Joki and seemed to spend the days playing and having fun. Everything went well and Charlie came home happy and healthy. Thanks!”

“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”

“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”

About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while I'm home for the summer. I’m vegan and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule right now, so I'm around to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends over the last couple of years, so I'm super comfortable handling feedings, walks, and overnight stays! I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a typical 9-to-5, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know how to keep everything clean and safe.
“Thanks Tracy for taking such great care of Sunny and Prince again. They were very flexible and understanding when we had to change our booking a few times due to Sunny’s health. It makes leaving the doggies a little easier knowing they are in great hands :) 💗”


“A was so kind to our pup, Napa. We appreciate her flexibility, knowledge, and fun personality. Napa looked forward to seeing her. She's conveniently located near Stanford, so she's a great fit for anyone visiting the hospital. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Michael is a fantastic dogsitter! He takes the dogs on looooong walks and sends lots of photos. My only complaint is that I think my dog liked him better than us and sulked the day we brought her home!! But that's not his fault!”

“Rachel is a great provider and really took great care of our pup. She communicated proactively, frequently with pictures and videos and updates. She followed pup's meal instructions carefully and even bought few things as needed. She took our dog for 2-3 walks per day and treated him like her own pup while at home. We felt at ease while traveling that our pup was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Rachel to take care of your dog. Thank you Rachel!”


“Nina and Leo were great! Jackson was very happy. He loved his walks and their sunny yard. Jackson has separation (or isolation) anxiety, but Nina and Leo were there for him, ensuring that he has contented. They were great!”

“Tillana has taken care of Luca a few times and is always so loving and caring with him! She is also very sweet and kind with us. Luca also gets lots of fun playtime with other good pups! 🐶”

“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”

“Lia was wonderful in taking care of Belle for a week. This was the first time for Belle to be away from us. Lia made us comfortable by sending videos every day and keep in constant communication with the entire time. Lia’s Gigi was a great friend to Belle and they had a wonderful time. I would definitely ask Lia to dog sit in the future.”

“Jessica is amazing! She took Snow on fun adventures all weekend long, and she updated me every night with pictures and a recap of the day. I could tell that he was well-loved throughout his stay and got to play to his heart’s content. She was also very responsive in setting up a meet and greet and flexible with drop off/ pickup times. Thank you Jessica, we’ll see you again!”

“Step took good care of our boy. He communicated and provided photos which I love. Our boy had a great time hanging with Step and his family and made a new friend with their pet. I would def recommend a stay with Step”

My baby girl had a great time at Anam’s place. My baby girl is turning 12 this year and is a cancer survivor. She can not climb stairs and needs medical attention. Anam did a great job making sure she is taken great care of. Anam’s dog is such a sweetheart and they got along really really well.

This was our first time leaving our 13 month old dog with a sitter and it went great! Charlotte was very kind and assured me right away that she was well equipped to handle Theo. She sent lots of pictures and videos each day that we were away, followed our feeding and care instructions, and gave him a ton of exercise. He seemed very happy and we were so glad he was in such good hands while we were away!

Lia did an incredible job caring for our pup Foley. Foley struggles at bigger boarding options and can become very stressed. But Lia had a perfect set up for him with her lovely backyard, friend pup Gigi, and welcoming home. We would definitely trust her to watch Foley again (if him waking her up bright and early for food is not a dealbreaker for her…).

Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future

JoJo had a great time staying with Manli's family for a long weekend. Manli updated us every night with photos of JoJo's day, and it meant a lot to see her happy and playing with other dogs. Manli so clearly understands dogs and how they communicate. This was JoJo's first time boarded in a home, and I'm very grateful it was with Manli's family! She came home happy from a weekend full of play and attention.

Alice was fantastic with Ollie during her 15-day stay. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us complete peace of mind. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. She also had the best time playing with Alice’s dog, Charlie—they became great buddies! It’s obvious that Alice genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Ollie with Alice again and highly recommend her.

Ahmyah took care of my 8- year Golden Retriever (Basin) while I was attending meetings at Stanford for a few days. Its clear she really loves dogs. She sent me cute videos of Basin on campus having a great time! I would love for Basin to stay with Ahmyah again when we are back at Stanford.
