About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep passion for dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, I understand their needs and behaviors intuitively. I've also honed my skills in training and maintaining service dog behaviors, so you know that each dog I care for receives expert attention. Dogs really just bring me immense joy, so when I’m with them, I’m fully present, providing undivided attention, love, and affection. Together, we create lasting memories through fun adventures both in the home and beyond. With me, it is guaranteed that your dog will be happy, well-cared for, and loved. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine as I love being outside, being active, caring for others, and am constantly on foot and in dog-friendly areas around Stanford's beautiful campus (which is full of fields and fenced-in parks!). Since I am working virtually this summer, having a furry friend alongside me is just a perfect match. We can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play in these ideal settings, ensuring they get the attention, love, and activity they need. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, removing any hazards to create a safe environment. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and attentive care, making pets feel secure and comfortable. Additionally, I provide a stimulating environment with plenty of play, exercise, and affection, tailored to each pet's individual needs.
15. FANG L.
“Fang provided exceptional house-sitting services for us while we were in France for a week. She took impeccable care of our two dogs and cat, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and loved. Every day she sent us great pictures. She could be a professional pet photographer! Fang stayed at our house, and we returned to a home that was just as we left it, if not better. Her dedication and responsibility were evident, giving us peace of mind during our trip. We couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our pets and home. Highly recommended!”
16. Charlotte C.
“Charlotte was great! She took great care of Charlie during the day, went on walks, and was very responsive. She has two young daughters who are gentle with dogs. Would definitely recommend Charlotte for anyone looking for a friendly and caring sitter!”
17. Beni E.
“Beni was great with my dog clyde took him for a long walk during his daycare and sent some great pics. Good communicator and clearly loves dogs so you can feel comfortable leaving your dog with him! My dog also has some special care needs and he was very accommodating for them.”
18. Olga E.
“Our dogs had a great time at Olga’s daycare! She sent us pictures during the day so we could see how much fun they were having! We will be asking Olga again to care for our dogs!”
19. Tammy Y.
“Tammy took great care of Ollie. Lots of great photos and updates throughout the day. Ollie looks forward to his future stays. Highly recommend!”
20. Donna B.
