“Once again, Coco had a great time and was doted over! Many pictures sent to me allowed me to not worry at all while away. Highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book again.”
“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”
“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.”
“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 took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town on vacation. Her home setting for a few small dogs worked out well for our small, sweet, and shy cavapoo. We appreciated the periodic updates she provided about our dog during our trip as well.”
“This was such a great boarding experience! My pup is elderly and requires some patience and attention, and they were so kind and thoughtful with her. She got a bit sick on the first day and they let me know right away and were happy to make changes to her routine to work with it. I got consistent updates with pictures and felt totally certain that my dog was well cared for the entire time. Definitely one of the best dogsitters I've used through this site.”
“Sherry was great! I rarely have to board Daffy and finding someone outside of my town was daunting. We communicated frequently and she sent pictures which were very reassuring. I will certainly book with her again! A big "Thank-You!" to Sherry!”
“Maia was wonderful with Mishka. I can tell she is very thorough and took great care of him. She also sent me updates and lots of pics everyday without me asking for them first. I know Mishka was in good hands with her and will def use her again. She’s also very flexible with drop off and pick up and has great communication.”
“Visnu is super sweet and loved my girl like her own. It was such a relief to know she was well cared for and loved while I was gone. Visnu asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to understand my dog's needs, and was great about communicating any concerns during her stay (like refusing meals). I deeply appreciated the photos and daily written update!”
“If you are looking for a pet sitter that will care for your animal as if they are one of your own, look no further. A selfish part of me wants to not leave a review at all so that we can keep this lovely couple all to ourselves and our dog, but that would not be fair. Robert and Brian- thank you truly for taking such incredible care of Athena and all the updates, especially the photo dumps. We (me, my partner, and Athena for sure) appreciate you both so much!”
“Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.”
“Donovan was very responsive and great at communicating! He sent updates and followed instructions on supplements and tooth brushing to a tee. My senior chihuahua mix and young pit bull seem like they were well taken care of and entertained!”
“Jiaxi and his gf Rosie were the best Rover sitters we’ve had. Super thoughtful, caring, communicative, and proactive when our dog had a medical problem. It was such a blessing to be away knowing our dog was getting so much care and attention.”
“My pup Ollie had a great time at Leon and Sara’s! He loved hanging out with them and their fur babies and didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up. Leon was very responsive and accommodating with my pickup and dropoff time, he also sent lots of cute photos and videos throughout his stay. Will definitely come back!”
“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”
“Nathalie was amazing with our doodle! You can tell right away she really really loves dogs and enjoys caring for them. Our doggo was so happy through her stay, got lots of walks and snuggles. Best we could hope for and more!”
“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Ashish was amazing. This was our pup’s first boarding, and I was very nervous. He reassured me that everything was going to be ok. He also sent us photos through out the visit! He was super accommodating on pick up time as well. Would ABSOLUTELY bring my dog back here if I needed boarding again!”

“Tammy was an AMAZING catsitter. She created a notes app journal to document her time with my two cats and updated it for me multiple times a day. She included videos, photos, and notes, and it was such a relief to see how happy my cats were with her. I am extremely grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my cats and in my home. My cats loved her, and I'm excited to hire her for future trips. Thank you so much Tammy!”
“Seriously don’t hesitate to book with Will. His set up is absolutely incredible and it’s apparent that his love for cats runs deep. We were gone for a week and the entire time we kept saying how happy and relieved we were that our cat Billy Ray was in such good hands. Will also has cameras that have a super user friendly app so we were able to check on our kitty at any given time!! I’m so so happy that we found Will and Club Meow, I can’t recommend them enough. We also thoroughly enjoyed Will and his wife and loved chatting with them about their own cats, their business and so on!!! 1000/10 would recommend!”
“Bea is terrific! This was our first time working together, and it was seamless. Bea is a great communicator which made things so much easier. One of our cats is quite nervous about new people, and Bea went above and beyond to entice him to come out and make sure he got his food. After the first night he was comfortable coming out to eat, which was amazing. I'll definitely be reaching out again when we travel again!”
“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.”
About: Cats have been part of my life for 20 years. I’ve also fostered cats in San Diego, my own orange cat actually started out as one of my fosters! 🧡 I’m experienced with newborn kittens too, including bottle-feeding and other neonatal care most sitters aren’t trained for. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in or ongoing care, I treat every visit like your pet is my own.
“Jes is the best babysitter/house sitter we’ve ever had for our three 9 yr old cats hands down. I’m a nervous overprotective cat mom & he was attentive, consistent, and our cats loved him❤️ We have a previously feral cat that even came out to say hi. We had an emergency request to find some keys a neighbor needed & he was able to quickly find them & give them to our neighbor before 10am. Your search for someone to take care of your babies is over.”
“Alix was a great sitter for our two cats! I could tell when I got home they were happy, not out of their element, and had been given lots of love while we were gone! Alix also had great communication and kept us updated the whole time we were gone! Thank you!😸”
About: I have had plenty of dogs and cats in my home since I was young. My husband and I are HUGE animal LOVERS!!!! we are away for college and are MISSING our animals back at home.

About: I am a long time caregiver for human adults with disabilities and animals in the bay area. I am reliable, attentive and adaptive to the needs of animals and people in my care. I am comfortable caring for pets in need of extra hygiene or medical/wound care. I am a foster through Berkeley humane. I provide doggy day care for people in my social network. I have raised a few batches of kittens. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. My counterpart and dog, Milkshake, is a great host and adapts well to the personality and boundaries of visiting pups. He is also great at bringing out visiting dogs' playful sides, and your pup will likely return home having been expelled all of their zoomies. I understand how important our pets are to all of us, one thing I love to do while caring for someones pet is to send them multiple photos/videos per day to show what their fur baby is getting up to. I get anxious when I am away from my dog too long and worry about him so I know how it goes, your pet will be well taken care of with me. I am a work from home data engineer working out of my home in peaceful North Berkeley. My workday schedule is very flexible with ample opportunity for several short walks around the neighborhood throughout the day. I live in a 6 bedroom home in North Berkeley, an established grouphouse with 4 other folks in their late 20s. We have a peaceful, fun and stress free home. I have a fenced front hard with enough room for zoomies and easy access for potty breaks. I have a large sunny back deck for dog sunbathing. I also have a working fireplace for warming up the paws during the cold/rainy season. My housemates are great with animals and provide additional attention, pets and socialization (2 work from home, 2 work out of the home).
About: Thankfully I grew up with cats. I had the pleasure of having littermates in my family for 10yrs. I love matching a cat’s energy. So as long as I understand the cat’s temperament, we’ll be good.
About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from super social to very shy and anxious cats. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping litter boxes extremely clean. I genuinely love spending time with cats and making them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m a huge animal lover and take cat care very seriously. I also send frequent updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.

“My puppy was so happy to see Emily again! She also enjoyed her time with Emily's dog that included a long walk. Appreciate the pictures from today. Dolly was tired when we arrived home, and that's always a good thing! Thank you again, Emily for taking such good care of my puppy!”

“Chen Z. was amazing with my dog. He’s very easy to communicate with, very accommodating to different schedules, takes lots of beautiful pictures and videos, and sends frequent updates. Most importantly my dog was always so excited to see him. Would 100% recommend and book again.”
“Thank you for watching our sweet Porky pie. He had such a great time. We love that he gets to have play time with other dogs and so glad he got along so well with Nala. Loved all the great updates while away, it really made my heart happy to see he is well taken care of while we are away. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter. Amazing communication!!! And your pet will be well taken care of.”
“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”
“Hong did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Lucky and Angel! She is incredibly kind, responsible, and truly passionate about animals. We felt completely at ease while we were away, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sydney’s first day - her first day of day care anywhere - was a hit. She seemed to warm up very quickly to both Nathalie and the other dogs, we loved the pics and videos, and when I got there she gave me a quick greeting and then wanted to get back to the other dogs for more play time. Very reassured to see her respond that way.”
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!
“Aprajita has watched our pup Hana for numerous doggy day care sessions, as well as a recent extended stay at her home when we went out of town. She and her sweetheart dog Moon are fabulous hosts! We received numerous photo updates throughout each day, and chat reassurances when from her when we need it. Hana has the run of the house and yard, and Moon is a lovely and generous playmate. I can and do unreservedly recommend Aprajita (and Moon)!”
“Vito loooves Mariola and Lux! He had a great time staying there for the day. Mariola is attentive and patient and provides a safe and relaxed environment. We will definitely have Vito stay with her again.”
“We had a great first daycare with Nikolai! He is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. It was nice to know Jax was having a fun day with other dogs and nice people. Excited to go back again!!”
“Visnu is not only reliable and flexible from a scheduling perspective, but she knows a lot about dogs -- especially reactive ones -- and so has been a total god-send. Our dog is fearful and uneasy with strangers, and Visnu knew just how to manage a slow introduction that would keep him calm and set them off on the right foot. Understanding the importance of providing reactive dogs with structure and consistency, Visnu was quick to ask about the commands that we use so she could reinforce our training during her time with him as well. Would highly recommend Visnu to anyone, but especially for those with dogs who do best with confident and experienced humans.”
“Laura took such great care of Roscoe while we spent the day in the city. She provided regular updates with photos, and Roscoe appeared to have a fantastic time! He didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Highly recommend :)”
“Claudio was amazing with Xico. Xico does not always get along with other dogs, but Claudio has the ability to ease any tension or fear Xico may feel around new dogs. Claudio went above and beyond to make Xico feel at home. They even went to Alameda beach! I know Xico felt safe and happy due to Claudio’s warm energy. I’m so happy Xico could socialize and have fun this week!”

“Donovan did a great job! He messaged me when he picked up Chuy, updated me along the walk and communicated once he dropped him off. He was on time walked for the full hour and was friendly. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Absolutely fantastic pet partner. Erika is great with people and dogs (and knows the priorities from lots of experience with both.) Thrilled to have her as part of the pet care team.”
“James was totally responsible, always arriving on time, taking our Ginger for full hour walks. Ginger has always been crazy excited when James arrives. I love getting the route they walked and a photo at the end of the walk. We’ll be calling on James whenever we need a caring fur babe walker.”
“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!”
“Awesome walker, very communicative, took great care of our pup, and was really flexible when we needed to make a last minute change. Would highly recommend Swami to other folks.”
About: I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my 4 childhood dogs: A chow chow, a chihuahua, a German Shepherd, and a Terrier Mix. All these doggies at different sizes and breeds taught me how to love, care, and treat. I considered each pet another member of my family and I know much much a cute little paw could mean to a person. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from newborns to senior dogs and facilite each care for all. I’m currently in college, only juggling a total of 3 classes so my schedule is pretty available throughout the week. I’m available on weekends all day/night. Mondays 11-1pm and 2pm to night time. Tuesdays, Thursdays : 7am to 12:30pm and Fridays: 3pm and onward! For specific time inquires, I would be more than happy to help! I have a closed apartment where dogs are amazing welcomed! My room is big so the doggie can roam around but I also live in a very walkable and smell-friendly neighborhood where I would take necessary measures to make sure he/she is taken care of!
“Annalise did an amazing job with Happy! Happy is a very friendly but anxious dog. I’m glad he got along with Annalise :) would definitely book again since I’m a frequent traveller.”
“Hollie did a great job walking Lyla and Daniel. They can be a handful (especially Lyla), and Hollie’s been kind and patient with them. Hollie’s punctual, communicative, and clear with me about what’s happening with the pups! I’m glad that she was able to spend some time with them!”
“Kayla was amazing. She came through in a pinch when I was too under the weather to walk my pup. She was very easygoing. She tired my dog out, which was exactly the goal. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, 20 years with cats and, more recently, 6 hands-on years with dogs, including newborn puppy and kitten care. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddle time, my priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. 🐾 I recently finished my Master’s degree and I’m now working toward my LPCC license to become a therapist. That means I’m fully available right now, 7 days a week from 6am to 10pm, to walk, play with, and care for your pets. 🐾 I’ll make sure your pet is well hydrated throughout our time together and takes any breaks they need. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a park visit, or quiet time at home, making sure your pet has fun and feels safe is always my top priority. 🐶🐱
“Jes is amazing! Takes great care of my pup and is so professional and nice to work with. Jes is also a very talented photographer and sends wonderful pictures of my dog Sassy. Thanks Jes!”
About: I’ve had dogs & cats my whole life (from Shiba Inus to Pitbulls). I worked for several years at my local ASPCA and am comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes! I am currently a graduate student at UC Berkeley, which gives me flexibility to provide evening and overnight care and drop ins before or after classes! I am conscious that pets are extremely important to us, and a part of our families. I provide care and compassion as if they were my own.
“We are so lucky to have Terence in our lives! He is committed, communicative, and all around excellent with my large and reactive dog. I have worked with several dog walkers and truly no one compares to Terence. Wish I could give 10/5 stars!”
About: Hello, my name is Candance and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have been working with animals of all kinds for 10+ years. I have done long term sitting, walking, and special needs care for dogs and cats. I also have two rescue cats myself Hira who has impaired vision and epilepsy and Nisha who is blind. I am very use to detailed medication plans and treatments because of this. I work from home full time and this allows me a lot of freedom to go for walks during the day or work from someone else’s home and be there all day. I will always treat your animals with love and kindness and will always do my best to communicate with you to put you at ease. Don’t hesitate to message to ask any questions or for potential bookings! I currently work full time remotely and this gives me a lot of freedom to work at other houses or be out with your pets! Treating my clients houses with respect is my top priority next to your pets safety. I believe is lots of communication to hopefully instill trust between us and my care for your pet.
“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.”
“We could not be happier with Isaiah! He is amazing. He takes our sweet pup Deacon to the dog park every afternoon. He is professional, reliable, flexible, and goes the extra mile to make sure Deacon is well taken care of. He is an excellent communicator and I love that he sends pictures from every walk. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like family, Isaiah is your guy!”
“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”
“Danielle is a super dog walker. My two loved her and she loved them right back. She was on time every day and always responsive to the dogs' needs -- and to mine. I would hire her again in a minute.”

“My cat loves staying with Alexandra. Every time I board with her I always know the kitty will be comfortable and happy. She always sends me plenty of photos and updates and is responsive and communicative. It really makes the stress of traveling a lot more bearable to not have to worry about how my cat is doing! Thank you Alexandra!”
“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”
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!
“Ruthy was a fantastic sitter. She was excellent with communication, and kept us constantly updated with videos and pictures of Benny throughout the day. On top of that, he got plenty of exercise and walks with her and her dogs. She's a genuine dog lover and didn't seem to mind Benny's higher than average energy and actually loved it - exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Ruthy!”
“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.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sarah looking after my dog, Bash. From the start, it was clear that she was committed to keeping him physically engaged and safe. I really appreciated that she prioritized getting him out for plenty of long, vigorous walks. It was a huge relief to travel knowing that Bash was in capable hands, getting the exercise he needs to stay happy and tired. Beyond the activity, she kept me updated with check-ins and amazing photos (seriously I might frame one of them), which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and active pet sitter. Both Bash and I are extremely satisfied customers!”
About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: Grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, old and young and love to hang out and care for them, I also have a spacious yard and time to walk with them I am a mma fighter and a wrestling coach I’m free all day Sundays and weekdays after 12, Saturdays I’m normally busy but this isn’t always the case I have a safe home all food is locked up so they can’t get into anything they shouldn’t, my yard is fenced and secure so they shouldn’t be able to run off
