“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Mariola was fantastic. She is super nice and very communicative. Bailey took a day to adjust to the new setting but she did a great job making her comfortable. The rest of the days she was normal thanks to Mariola. I would definitely use or recommend Mariola.”
“Christine went above and beyond to take great care of our dog! Buca had a great time and came home happy and healthy after staying with Christine. We will definitely be reaching out again for future visits.”
“Wenxin took such good care of my dog Smiley, she showered Smiley with love, care, and patience. Smiley really enjoyed every minute. Strongly recommend Wenxin for anyone who needs help with their dog.”
“Danielle is great! I was late for pickup and felt terrible, but she was very sweet and accommodating. Also very communicative with tons of pictures as usual! Our two dogs seemed very happy”
“Ashish was an amazing Dog Sitter. I was leaving my eight month old puppy for 15 days and was very nervous. As soon as I dropped my dog off with Ashish I felt completely comfortable. He went above and beyond The duty and sending videos and pictures I could see from those pictures and videos that Ari was very well taken care of. I will definitely be using him for all my future trips. Ashish gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.”
“Very kind and caring daughter and mother! They really took the time to let my nervous dog adjust during the meet and greet, listened carefully and asked questions. I also appreciate that they care about safety. My dog is quite nervous, but by the second day of boarding she was getting comfortable and showing more of her bouncy personality. They were communicative around feeding instructions and coordinating the meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. I would recommend Thais and Marlene! Thank you for your help taking care of Amber!”
“We deeply appreciate that Scooter is well loved and taken care of. We never have to worry if he will be okay. Yuko and pack treats him like their own. We are thrilled to say we have found Scooter’s trusted & preferred people to leave him with when needed.”
“Our dog had such a great stay with Monica and her family! They took great care of him, went on multiple outings (e.h. hikes, beach), and just loved him up. Also their dog was a great and friendly companion. We’d happily have him there in the future!”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
“Robert and Brian are great! They really take the time to understand your individual dog's needs before taking care of them. My dog Koda felt very comfortable around them and loved all of the walks/adventures he went on with them. Robert's communication with me throughout the stay was really helpful, especially when he had questions or unforeseen circumstances arose. I also loved all the videos and pictures they sent me while Koda stayed with them!”
“I had a very positive experience with Chen boarding my pup Bernie for a few days. Bernie is a well behaved dog, but he has a few needs that Chen took on willingly. He also took the time to meet with me and Bernie ahead to make sure all his needs were understood. It is clear to me that Chen loves pets and treats them with care. He sent me many updates reflecting his attention to Bernie's comfort and sense of feeling at home and with family. He also sent many stellar photos. Chen has a real talent there and I think also shows his adoration of the pets he cares for. Chen and his family were kind and warm to me and to Bernie and I reccomend him for you.”
“Angela was a wonderful host for Mango! Our dog had a great time, got plenty of pets, lots of play time and walks. We also received updates throughout the stay that made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Ross and family took amazing care of Clover and Willow! They seems extremely relaxed and to get along well with Millie. I didn’t worry about them during our trip. Super thankful and would love to have the girls stay again!”
“Abigail went above and beyond to care for our two dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. We have two dogs in very different life stages (one is elderly and required medication and one is young and highly energetic). She catered to them both perfectly and sent updates everyday while we were away. We have the upmost confidence in Abigail, she is genuinely kind and attentive. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Dylan and his wife took amazing care of my sweet dog, Lulu. They went way, way above and beyond when I was in a bind and she needed extra care. They were thoughtful, responsive, and so kind. I recommend them to everyone I know that needs dog care!!!”
“We were so thankful for Ms. Shatese for accepting our last minute need after two sitters canceled last minute. She is a beautiful spirit who consistently kept us updated based on a schedule she had originally provided which allowed us to be at true ease while away from our pup. Her little one, Prince, is the most handsome ever. Was very grateful for all updates and adjustments”

She truly allowed us to enjoy our stay away without worrying too much about our cat because he was in such good care with IIhem ! We will be booking again with her and I suggest if you have a furry creature you care about you book with her as well!!!”
“I am so happy to have found Beatrice to look after my cats. She is truly the cat sitter I was looking for. I feel she possess the perfect energy to meet our feline companions' needs. She is always on time, easy to communicate with, attentive, and flexible. Beatrice treated my cats like they were her own, and when I got back, they were all completely relaxed. I really appreciate everything she has done and am so happy I found the best person for the job. I will certainly use Beatrice again next time I am out of town.”
“Natalie was a great cat sitter for my 16 year old hairless cat. She was thoughtful, reliable, punctual, and followed instructions perfectly. The photos of him licking his chops or emerging from his blankets were so cute! Thank you so much Natalie! I plan to call you again.”
“V was absolutely wonderful. They took excellent care of our diabetic kitty, who has multiple daily medications to take. They were very detail oriented, always on time, and regular with updates. Unexpectedly, we received some very large packages while we were out, and V kindly moved those into the house for us!!”
“Sheryl did such a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures and videos and she brought her own cats toys to give them something new to be entertained by. Would definitely recommend and book again :)”
“Amber is the best and my cat loves her. She arrives at the time agreed upon and takes great photos. I real appreciate the care she provides when I can’t be home for my kitty! ❤️”

“Maria came through for us and took care of Raylan when we needed. She even adjusted her schedule to fit some changes we needed and was easy to communicate with. We loved all the pictures and reports she provided. We will definitely book her again.”
“Sandrine was very caring, and left sweet little messages along with the photos for the Rover cards. Both cats were happy to see me rather than snubbing me as the usually do upon return. I would recommend Sandrine highly”
“Tammy was professional, kind, and a great pet-sitter. She did an amazing job and provided very detailed care notes. Every interaction was incredibly professional and she went above and beyond to take care of my pet.”
About: I’ve been a cat person my whole life. I spent several years working at Cat Town Café in Oakland, where I worked on the café side and volunteered with their special needs cats, many of whom were more withdrawn or managing medical issues. I also filled in as a cat care attendant for several months, and cat sat for cats in foster care, so I’ve handled a wide range of personality and needs, from confident cats to shy ones who need patience and space. On the medical side, I have hands-on experience administering insulin, oral medications, and subcutaneous IV fluids, having cared for my own cat going through her medical needs for years. I understand how to keep a calm, steady routine to keep your cat comfortable. I currently cat sit for friends and have two kittens of my own at home so I understand both ends of the spectrum: high energy young cats and cats who need some extra TLC. Whether your cat just needs a calm presence, active play time, or requires medication administered with a gentle hand, I’ll always treat them like my own 😻
“Yailin was a great catsitter! She was communicative and sent updates throughout the day. She fed Memo treats and made sure to follow all the instructions. We came home to a happy and calm cat. Would definitely book with her again. Thank you!”
“We were so happy to have Mazzy cared for by someone who really understands and gets cats. She was safe and happy and I was updated on her with pictures and texts of her silly antics. Grateful to have found William and his family.”
“Emily did a wonderful job with our cat JiJi. Emily let us know how JiJi was doing and sent us photos every day. Our cat had never spent a night outside of our house so we brought many of her things to Emily’s apartment including her scratching post. Emily helped us ferry everything inside and get JiJi settled. Emily was very responsive and we would highly recommend her.”
“I chose Rebecca to look after my new 6-month old three-legged kitten. Based upon her profile and our meet & greet, I felt I could count on her to take good care of my precious little guy. Rebecca is an excellent communicator and detail oriented. My kitty was happy and well cared for when I returned. I will be reaching out to Rebecca next time I have to leave my little guy at home.”
“I'm so grateful that Leena was able to take care of my cat Marge for the week I was out of town getting married! Although I did miss Marge, I knew Leena was taking good care of her and didn't have to worry about her while I was away. Leena sent great pictures, played with Marge and provided daily updates on her visits. I felt comforted knowing Leena is a reliable and capable pet sitter, and will definitely be asking her to check in on Marge on my next vacation. Thank you Leena!!”
About: I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. During each visit, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, play with your cat if they enjoy interaction, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space. I can also administer oral medications if needed and will keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your cat is receiving personalized attention and compassionate care.
About: Hi there! My name is Nadine and I'm a passionate dog lover/ pup parent with 8 years of experience raising a dog and 2 years experience of fostering dogs. From volunteering at local animal sanctuaries and pup events to working as a professional dog sitter, my love for these furry friends has only grown over the years. I truly believe that dogs are more than just pets; they're members of the family. That's why I'm committed to providing the best possible care for each and every dog that comes my way. Whether it's taking long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, I'm dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved while they're in my care. So if you're looking for a reliable, experienced dog sitter who will treat your pup like their own, look no further! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend soon. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I am dedicated to ensuring that my furbabies and furbaby guests receive the best possible care while in my care. This includes providing regular exercise, feeding on schedule, administering any necessary medication, training and giving lots of love and attention. In addition to my daily routine, I also have a weekly schedule that includes regular grooming, cleaning of living spaces, and any other necessary tasks to keep my fur babies and fur guests happy and healthy. Overall, my commitment to providing high-quality pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I take this responsibility very seriously. I ensure that my home is clean, safe, and comfortable for my pets. This includes a clean backyard for them to run, a living room with a rug for them to wrestle, multiple beds, and soft blankets in the bedroom for them to rest and sleep. I established a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. With lots of toys and access to filtered water. I provide regular opportunities for the pet to go outside in my backyard to get some sun, play, run, and take potty breaks. I keep the pet's living space clean and free from hazards. During playtime, I am present, for tug of war or fetch. Throughout the day I monitor the pet's behavior and health closely, trying to understand their needs.
About: My pup and I live in a 3br apartment in Westwood. We love to take long walks. I'm a big fan of hiking and running, while Jewel prefers to stick to the flatter walks and sunbathe by the beach. I grew up on a ranch and was on the UC Berkeley Equestrian team, so my love for animals is innate. We still have everything from horses to goats, so trust me when I tell you your best friend will be in capable, loving hands. I look forward to hearing from you! 😊 🐕 I am a full time LMT and entrepreneur, so I have a very flexible schedule. Hit me up and we’ll definitely make it work :) I have a private balcony and fenced in dog park nearby. Between walks, hikes, and playtime at the park, your loved one won’t have time to miss you :)

“Hope is a wonderful dog sitter. She follow all my instruction to take care my dog. She even sent me photos to see hows she’s doing. She even took her a long walk. She got along with my dog”
“Yassine was terrific. He was very responsive, which made it possible to schedule on short notice. When we arrived he was very welcoming, which made the drop off seamless. Rickey had a great day, and we'll be sure to return again in the future.”
“Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Yagmur did a great job with my husky, Alba! She was friendly, communicative, and shared a lot of updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, especially since it was Alba's first time with dog boarding.”
“Yukon is an amazing host! We couldn't have asked for anything more. She took great care of our Lady bug. Gave us timely updates with pictures after walks, meals, and poo breaks. Lady also enjoyed hanging out with her fellow schnauzers. I highly recommend their services and plan to be repeat clients!”
“Kelly was wonderful with my pup Mochi, and easy to communicate with. I just got Mochi (a rescue) a couple of weeks ago so I was nervous about leaving him for the day but Kelly was very reassuring and Mochi had a great time!”

“Chen and his family all supported my dog at day care and providing top notch care, updates, and photographs of her stay! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great sitters who LOVE dogs and we will absolutely be coming back to see them!”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. Kianna and the kids treated Charlie with care and kindness. They played til he dropped. Normally when I pick him up from days care, he’s ready to go, not today. I think he was upset he was leaving. :) I will be booking again. Thank you Kianna.”
About: I had my own dog until she was 15 years old. Since she passed, I’ve been actively volunteering at Berkeley Humane Society and most recently Milo Foundation, where I have successfully fostered several dogs. I have experience with dogs of all age ranges, from puppies to seniors. I have also pet sit for dozens of dogs over the years and truly believe that dogs make the world a better place! I am currently on a sabbatical and have a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I am scheduled in advance, I can be available for your pets needs. I am an active person who loves to hike, go to the beaches in Marin, and go for neighborhood walks. I also value relaxing at home and taking it easy too. Depending on your pet’s energy level, I can easily adapt to their needs! I care for pets in my clients home by ensuring I stick to the animal’s routine. I carefully review the routine, commands, feeding schedule, etc. with the owner in advance to ensure the pet’s routine remains consistent and they are as comfortable as possible in the absence of their human. I am committed to getting pets out for daily walks to provide exercise and enrichment.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’ve always been a pet owner, and dogs have truly been a huge part of my life. Our beloved Gucci recently crossed the rainbow bridge at 16 years old on August 18, 2026. We were so lucky to have had such a long and beautiful life with him, but we miss him dearly. I’ve never understood why our furry friends get such a short time with us. All I know is that they are here to teach us one of the greatest lessons: unconditional love. ❤️ I’ve had three little dogs throughout my life. My Chihuahua, my first baby, lived to be 18 years old and had the amazing experience of living on both the East and West Coasts. Our Gucci followed, giving us 16 wonderful years of memories. Now we have our youngest, Rocky, a sweet 14-year-old Miniature Pinscher who is very chill and would absolutely love having some furry friends around. Rocky enjoys sleeping in, relaxing on the couch like a cat, and hanging out in his cozy bed. He’s very easygoing and happy to share his space with other friendly dogs. We also have a toddler who has been around dogs since birth and absolutely adores animals. Because of this, our home is a kid-friendly environment, and I’m happy to welcome dogs who are comfortable around children. Your fur baby would receive plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and care while staying with us. My husband is also the sweetest with dogs—no matter their size, somehow he always manages to carry them like a baby and give them lots of snuggles! 🥰 We live in Albany in a lovely area close to grassy spaces for walks, and we also have a dog park nearby. Whether your pup enjoys walks, cuddles on the couch, playtime, or simply relaxing, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us. I know how difficult it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are being treated like family. 🐶❤️ I am a stay at home mom and take care of my toddler and our doggy Rocky. We go on walks with our pup, cook, dance, read and enjoy every moment together. We live in a kid friendly apartment with our doggy Rocky. We have plenty of grass area right outside our door for great doggy walks and even a doggy park a couple of blocks away.

“Jessica is a natural with dogs! She is very thoughtful and detail oriented. I have 2 seniors with special health needs and she is very attentive and reliable. My dogs are anxious with changes to their routine but after a few days with Jessica they were happy to rush into her place when I dropped off, and tried to follow her back to her place instead of getting in the car to leave after pick up. I definitely recommend Jessica!”
“Lucas was able to take my little dog Peanut for the day on very short notice - really appreciated it! He (Peanut ;) was a bit nervous at first but I knew he was in good hands. Lucas is very responsive and clear in communicating, and he has a calmness with the dogs that really seems to put them at ease. I highly recommend him!”

“Samantha did such a great job with both our senior large dog and our small puppy. She walked them and fed them and followed all of our instructions. She was also very flexible as my schedule changed and was happy to accommodate our changes. I would definitely book her dog walking services again!”
“We are repeat customers of Rachael, and I feel confident knowing my pets are in good hands with her! Today she did a check in on the kitties and gave my pups a potty break. Thank you, Rachael!”
About: I grew up with a dog, so I’m comfortable and at ease around them. For the past 18 months, I’ve regularly dog sat for my brother‘s dog, handling walks, feeding, and oral medication administration. While cats are my primary focus, I’m happy to help households with both dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible, which means I can usually accommodate, dropping in in the mornings and evenings, longer daytime visits, and last-minute requests. I currently offer overnights on a case-by-case basis Since all visits will take place at your home, your cat will stay in their own familiar environment and have their daily routine with a trusted, experienced person. I am very careful about home security and always double check that doors and windows are locked and secured as instructed and there are no unexpected visitors. I am happy to follow any specific rules you have around gate, screens or access points. I am also happy to bring in mail, water plants, take out trash/recycling, and any other light housework while you’re away. I know how important it is for you to be able to check in while you’re away so I’m happy to provide updates and photos. I know how to spot signs that something is off and needs attention, and will get in touch with you right away.
“V was so helpful and responsive. What started as a weekend of dog walks turned into a month of regular dog walks at various times thru the day. V was quick to respond to my inquires and Ernest really seemed to like them. I highly recommend V for big dogs like Ernest (and likely any dog smaller than 90 lbs, which I know is many!). They handled his hesitancies (and mine) well with us scheduling a meet and greet and then treating him well thru all the walks. Thanks V!”

“Sheryl is a wonderful caring pet sitter for our husky when we are out of town. She is responsive, kind and responsible. She gives detailed updates in her reports when she comes to walk and feed our dog. We highly recommend her.”
“Debi was amazing. She jumped into action only minutes after my request for help. I could not have asked for a better walker and caretaker for my pup. Thanks for going above and beyond the call of duty.”
“Derek established a great rapport with my NOT-easy dog. This was his second visit - we're working up to a longer house sit. Derek asked many thoughtful questions each time to learn about Diego's behavior and knowledge, he observed a lot whlle walking with him and took some videos, and reported back what he experienced. Clearly very dog savvy, careful, caring and responsible with the more challening temperaments in the canine world!”
“Lexx made time to do a meet and greet with Panda on a Friday evening and was great working with her (even though Panda tends to be barky and anxious). She followed our instructions and left a detailed description of her walk! Would definitely recommend Lexx!”
“Karen is totally great! I appreciated her emails confirming her walks with Annie. My little dog readily took to her and clearly was well exercised. I hope to schedule with Karen again.”
“Rebecca was great. My 11yr old pup doesnt always want to wak in the evening, so she sat with him on the front porch so he could sniff the air and take in the view as he likes to do. Will rebook.”
About: Since I was born, I have had pets running around my house and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have had 5 cats and 3 dogs and I know everything there is to know about taking care of them. I will make sure your pets get the same love that my pets get at home. I don't have a job right now so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, but I will update my availability when I do find a job. I live in an area with lots of open walking space and places to use the bathroom. There is a park close by with wide open areas that I know pets would love to roam and explore.

I enjoy spending time with dogs and always make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need.

My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and deeply love connecting with animals. I supported my last dog through her later years and have sensitivity to the needs of elder puppies. I also enjoy the energy of younger dogs and live right near San Pablo park for dogs who like to socialize. I mostly work from home with occasional in person meetings during the week. I am available for pet care throughout the week and can let dogs out to the back yard throughout the day. I live in a quiet but lively neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and sniff. The back yard is fenced in and allows space to lounge in the sun. There are no other pets or humans currently in the house so it is very peaceful and quiet most of the time. I don't take dogs from more than one household at a time. I check in on the pets I care for regularly and track their emotional as well as physical needs, giving pets and butt scratches often!
“Robert and Brian are great! They really take the time to understand your individual dog's needs before taking care of them. My dog Koda felt very comfortable around them and loved all of the walks/adventures he went on with them. Robert's communication with me throughout the stay was really helpful, especially when he had questions or unforeseen circumstances arose. I also loved all the videos and pictures they sent me while Koda stayed with them!”
“Angela was a wonderful host for Mango! Our dog had a great time, got plenty of pets, lots of play time and walks. We also received updates throughout the stay that made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Ross and family took amazing care of Clover and Willow! They seems extremely relaxed and to get along well with Millie. I didn’t worry about them during our trip. Super thankful and would love to have the girls stay again!”
“Abigail went above and beyond to care for our two dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. We have two dogs in very different life stages (one is elderly and required medication and one is young and highly energetic). She catered to them both perfectly and sent updates everyday while we were away. We have the upmost confidence in Abigail, she is genuinely kind and attentive. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“We were so thankful for Ms. Shatese for accepting our last minute need after two sitters canceled last minute. She is a beautiful spirit who consistently kept us updated based on a schedule she had originally provided which allowed us to be at true ease while away from our pup. Her little one, Prince, is the most handsome ever. Was very grateful for all updates and adjustments”
“My dog had a great time and was taken care of so well! It was a last-minute booking, and he was so helpful and accommodating. We really appreciated him helping us out and making sure our dog was well cared for. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love dogs. (Actually, I love all animals!) I grew up with family dogs and adopted my own last year (she's a complete sweetie). I also have a cat, a bearded dragon, and fish. I worked in a local dog daycare and hotel for over three years and loved it! Now that I'm in a graduate program, I couldn't keep up the hours but missed the dogs. My favorite part of that job was walking the dogs and now I'd love to walk your dog. I really enjoy connecting with each dog, getting to know their personalities, taking care of them, and giving them the attention, stimulation, and fun that comes from being together and enjoying the day. I am currently working on my clinical hours for my degree and am busy Monday and Wednesday after noons 1-5pm and Thursdays at the same time and at 7am-10am every other week. Any other time is all good for me! When I take care of a pet, I care for them in any ways that they might need. I have had experiences with reactive dogs, dogs with specific medical needs, young dogs who are practicing training still, and senior dogs. I want to do what is most comfortable for the dog and am super happy to accommodate for any needs that they have when caring for them! I have experience reading and reacting to cat and dog body language and know when my presence is invited by them and when they might need more space. It's important to look for the animals consent and comfort when working with and taking care of them so they can remain as happy and stress free as possible!
“Miumie was excellent! She went above and beyond taking care of Nanako, preparing a comfortable space in her home and even buying Nanako some toys! Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!”
“Sherry watched Seven for 11 days while my wife and I went on vacation. She was very communicative and sent many pictures of her, Wolfie, and Seven’s outdoor adventures. Going on vacation can always be a little stressful when having to leave our dog but we felt very comforted that Seven was in good hands with Sherry!”
“Yagmur and her partner took excellent care of my special needs dog. The steps up to their apartment were a bit challenging for him, but they managed him beautifully. I am so appreciative of the care that provided to him.”
“Jonah is incredible! Actually made my dog a part of his family. I’ve boarded at other places only to see how depressed he was. With Jonah it was 100% opposite, my dog was super happy to be with him. I think it’s rare when a someone treats your dog as well as you do. Thank you Jonah! We love you and your family…I know I speak for my dog Woody too! I hope he post one of the daily photos he sent me.”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and I just wanted to find a way to give back to owners . I’m very personable and I’m definitely really good with connecting with dogs. I’m currently taking classes, but my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time for pet care throughout the day. I can easily adjust around walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. Most of my classes are either online or scheduled in a way that leaves mornings, afternoons, and evenings open. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure your pet’s routine comes first. I would spend pretty much all my time with your pet. If I’m watching a movie he’ll be next to me and I care alot about connecting with the animals. I’ll also make to keep your pets health as my number one priority.
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“Nathaniel and his family were so welcoming of Hera (and me)! I greatly appreciated their patience, hospitality and attentiveness to Hera. They sent me pictures during her stay, and I can tell that Hera missed them and their pets after she left. Thank you so much for an easy breezy, comfortable experience, Nathaniel! ✨”
About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!
