“My dog Re’lar had a blast staying with Michael (as evidenced by the many photos and videos I recieved). Michael was communicative which helped put me at ease since this was the first time my pup stayed with him. Would be happy to have Re’lar stay with him again next time we are in need.”
“Wow! Sofiya was such a wonderful caretaker for our 6 month old pup. My pup, Milo, had the best time, I got pictures every day. He got to play with her lovely dog and cat. Her little girl is absolutely adorable. Sofiya even taught Milo some tricks! I would recommend her to anyone who needs their pup to be taken care of. I will only be coming to her from now on.”
“Joyce, Keith, and family took great care of Sunny while my partner and I were away on vacation for 8 nights. Joyce communicated well and sent pictures and videos to me daily.

The overall experience was fantastic.”

“Sein took wonderful care of Maggie over the long weekend! They kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind.

Their apartment was clean, and their dogs were calm and friendly, making it a great environment for Maggie. I highly recommend Sein and would happily book with them again.”

“Katie and Jason were amazing hosts for Apollo! They were really sweet with him and very communicative, which was super helpful. I’m sure Apollo would love to stay with them again!”
“Qi took amazing care of our dogs, Pebbles and Luna, while we were away. Both of our girls are on the anxious side, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. Qi was patient, attentive, and made them feel comfortable and cared for. We also appreciated how thoughtfully she manages the dogs in her care. Even though she watches multiple dogs, she carefully groups dogs that get along well and makes sure everyone has a safe, positive experience. Her home is very clean and well-maintained, which gave us additional peace of mind. Qi was also fantastic with communication, sending frequent photos and videos so we could see how Pebbles and Luna were doing. We always felt informed and reassured. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

“Aleksei & Galina were great! Starting from the meet & greet, Galina read and asked follow up questions based on our pretty thorough guide of Angie. We tend to be quite picky with Angie as she’s a senior dog now, but I know Angie did not want to leave after the sit. Thank you both!”

“Tillana is a wonderful cat sitter! She’s very experienced. She knows how to engage our senior citizen cats and keep them happy. She’s also great at giving medicine and making it easy for the cat. We love all the photos she sends and the extremely detailed reports of how the kitties are doing, what they’re up to, and if she noticed anything different. Tillana goes above and beyond to care for our cats, keeping their litter box super clean, and deep cleaning their water fountain. She also just has a great “cat sense”. She knows when a cat wants attention or quiet time, and if they want to play or just be carried around and watch the birds. We’re so lucky to have Tillana as our cat sitter and we gladly put our full trust in her to take care of our kitties.”
About: I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was 10 around my neighbourhood and for friends and families! I also grew up with dogs in my family I am currently home for the summer from college, until August 31st, I have tons of flexibility! I am happy to help out in the mornings and evenings/overnight stays. I care for the pets by making sure they get their needs as requested. Including walks for dogs and making sure they feel as seen as possible. I also care for cats as well.
“Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!”
“Shannon was great! She did drop in visits to feed and socialize with my cat. She played with him and sent great pictures from each visit. She was attentive to instructions and everything went very smoothly.”
“Elise is very kind, caring, and gentle with Suriya and takes care of him with patience and understanding. Suriya enjoys Elise's company and is relaxed and happy with her care. Elise is very reliable, wonderful to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”
“I trust Ulysses with my fur babies. I can tell they’ve been loved while I’m away. The pictures and videos he sends while caring for my kitties show how much they like him. He even takes my trash can out on garbage day.”
“We had Vanessa take care of our two cats, Boo and Charlie, for two weeks and couldn't be happier with the experience. Our cats usually take a while to warm to strangers, but it didn't take long at all for them to feel comfortable with her. Vanessa was highly communicative, keeping us updated with regular texts and photos, assuring us that Boo and Charlie were well cared for. She kept them active and engaged by spending quality time playing with them, and did a great job cleaning up after them! We highly recommend Vanessa for anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
About: With over 5 years of experience in cat care, I've gained a deep understanding of what makes our feline friends thrive. From proper nutrition and grooming to behavior insights and health monitoring, I've learned that each cat has its own unique needs. Providing a safe, stimulating environment and building trust through patience and affection are key. Whether it’s addressing specific health concerns, ensuring a balanced diet, or simply knowing how to recognize their moods and quirks, this experience has made me truly appreciate the complexity and beauty of caring for cats.
About: I’ve had cats all my life and have always found myself preferring cats. I love their standoffish playful behavior and funny quirks. I’ve owned both friendly cats and more antisocial cats so I’m familiar with the wide range of cat behavior and can adjust accordingly.
About: Cats are some of my favorite companions because they each have their own little world. I take my time letting them warm up to me and I follow their lead completely. If they want cuddles, I am all in. If they want space, I honor that too. I am consistent with feeding, litter, routines, and I always make their environment feel calm and safe. I am gentle, intuitive, and very aware of energy, so cats usually relax around me pretty fast.
“Taryn was awesome! We were traveling to Pescadero for the day, with my daughter, son in-law and grandpuppies, but didn't want to leave them in the car while we had lunch and walked the town. Taryn met us at the restaurant and took the dogs to a nearby play area. She was on time, professional, and so caring with the pups. There human mommy was nervous to leave them, but felt comfortable with Taryn. We had a relaxing lunch, and the pooches came back happy and tired! Thanks Taryn for your professionalism, it added so much to our special day.”
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”
“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”

“Our 5-month old Pomeranian LOVES Tillana and her crew of pups! Hazel was so pooped when she came home after dog parks, walks and even a puppy pool. I love the photo updates and trust Tillana so much with our baby! Also, I think hazel might like Tillana more that me…”
“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”
“Florence is the best! She cares so well for our needy little Jack and for all the dogs she watches. Our guy opened up to her right away and loves playing at her home. This is the most fun we see him have. We especially love how many updates she provides - you can really tell she loves doing this!”
“Stacey was great to work with! She was a great communicator, made pick up and drop off very easy and checked in with me throughout Bogey’s stay. My pupper seemed super comfortable and at easy with her and her dogs as well. Will definitely be working with her again :)”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. Safety comes first, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. Either way, you'll get regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
“We are so grateful to have found Kenny. We tried leaving our dog at a hotel/boarding facility. We paid extra for a nice room. But he was mostly in that room alone, standing and clawing at the glass, begging for attention. And when we would drop him off, he would try to get away. When we picked him up, he was panicked and breathing hard. He couldn’t mingle with the dogs due to being intact. It was isolating and he has separation anxiety. I’m sharing this for contrast. When I drop him off at Kenny’s he runs to him, jumps and licks him, and walks away without ever looking back at me, lol. We get photo and video updates showing how much fun he has: playing in the yard with another dog, pooping! Going for a walk, eating, napping, etc. Kenny watches over them and keeps them safe, ex: big vs small, neutered/spayed vs not. My dog loves going there now, and I can focus on work without worry. So thankful to have found this priceless attention and care.”
“Ava dogsat our dog Tequila and was absolutely wonderful! Tequila had a great time with Ava and her dog Ginger, and Ava kept us updated with photos throughout the day. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I've hired Michael as my dog sitter twice now, and both times my dog came back all "pooped" from the long walks and play time, she basically went to bed as soon as we got home haha! He also sent me quite a few pictures and updates during my dog's stay which helped keep me worry-free (I tend to get a bit anxious when hiring a new pet sitter, but he did not disappoint !)”
“I very much appreciate Ruo’s attentiveness in creating such a comforting environment for my senior pup. Trinity is special needs (being both visually and hearing impaired). She is so calm when I pick her up - all signs of how at ease she is and evidence to the care Ruo provides to ensuring a stressful visit! ♥️”
“My puppy loves visiting Dalia! When we pull up, she jumps out of the car and runs to the door with excitement. Dalia always makes sure my puppy gets a good walk and a nap in, and she comes home in a great mood.”
“Jennifer is very professional and responsive. Our dog really enjoyed staying at her home. They can play inside or out. She even brushed his fur out so he was super soft. I would leave him there again.”
“Allison & her husband were wonderful for my little dog. She is already passed out as soon as we got home. I booked last minute after seeing a review from someone else. Super convenient & accommodating for my very curious pup!”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.
“Karla was awesome. She was super caring and sweet with our puppy, sent tons of photos, and was very accommodating when we ran behind schedule. Would definitely recommend leaving your pups with her!”
“Our lab puppy Bella had a great time with Alice! Bella enjoyed her stay playing with the dogs. Alice provided us with photo and video updates throughout the day. We felt that she was kind and loving and we would be happy to send Bella back again. We highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned and cared for three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs of all sizes and breeds — from small terriers to larger dogs like pit bulls — and feel confident handling a wide range of temperaments. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive
“Tillana worked so diligently to get to know our dog, who is shy with new people. She made sure Roo had lots of fun on their outings and was really easy to communicate with.”
“This was my dog's first time walking solo with someone not family. It was her and Amber. I was nervous, but Ginger allowed herself to be led by Amber and that's so great! It was a quick walk, but I just wanted my pup to feel comfortable one minute at a time. It still amazes me that Ginger doesn't bark at her! She has that vibe that dogs just pick up on, which is awesome!”

About: Hi! I’m Gemma, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, house sitting, and growing up with dogs of my own. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active, so whether your dog loves long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with different routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with a friend rather than just being watched. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Pet care is something I intentionally schedule my week around. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent care and stick closely to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention on walks and around other animals. I always leave your home clean and tidy, provide regular photo updates, and communicate promptly so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, caring hands.
“We have two dogs who can be a bit reactive when walked by leash. My wife and I were instructed by professional dog trainers on how to keep them calm and under control when they see another dog. John picked up the training methods quickly and had both of our guys exhibiting their best behavior. John is a natural, and our dogs adore him. We are extremely pleased with his calmness and attention. Five stars!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats all my life, with an occasional bird or rabbit. I love all animals.

I work 3 days a week, I can be flexible on availability the days I am off. It isn’t a set schedule, and varies from week to week. I value my cat as a member of the family. I look forward to being a small part of your pets day. Meeting new animals and getting to interact with them is always fun!

I am currently only working a part-time job so I am available to care for your pet any day of the week. The afternoon (1-6pm), works best for me! I am willing to do whatever your pet needs while you are away, whether that be play-time with toys, a walk down the street, a bath, or cuddles!

“Ulysses was very understanding and helpful when I was trying to figure out the app while teaching and trying to arrange a same day dog walk! Thank you, Ulysses! And most importantly he was great with my 2 big dogs! They both felt instantly comfortable with him, had a great walk and were happy and tired all day afterwards!”

The regular updates and adorable photos were a nice touch, offering peace of mind. In short, if you want a dog walker who treats your pup like family,Keith is the way to go. I highly recommend their services.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I naturally connect with them. I grew up taking care of family pets, friends’ pets, and animals I watched while traveling. I understand how different each animal’s personality is, and I love tuning in to what they need, whether it is play, comfort, structure, or quiet time. I am gentle, patient, and very affectionate with animals who like closeness, but also respectful with shy or sensitive pets. People trust me because I treat their pets with real love and intention, the same way I care for my own space and relationships. My schedule is flexible, and pet care blends naturally into my day. I enjoy slow mornings, walks, and spending time outside, so having a pet with me just adds joy to my routine. I am available most days and weekends, and I make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule so they feel secure and loved while you are gone. I am very intentional about how I care for animals.

Even though she watches multiple dogs, she carefully groups dogs that get along well and makes sure everyone has a safe, positive experience. Her home is very clean and well-maintained, which gave us additional peace of mind.

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Nicole is the best- she is so experienced and knowledgeable about dogs, and was very communicative and helpful throughout our pups weeklong stay with her. He has some medical issues and she was able to keep him safe, happy, and healthy and his issues under control while we enjoyed some vacation. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Meerim and her partner were absolutely amazing dog sitters for my family’s 9 year old dog! She handled our dog’s reactive tendencies around other dogs like a pro and was incredibly prompt in responding and sending pics throughout the stay. Our dog was very happy and comfortable with Meerim due to her attentive, gentle, and loving nature - I would readily recommend Meerim to anyone looking for the best pet care around and we will definitely happily rebook!”
“Leo and Nina were wonderful, honest and kind! From our first meet and greet to final pickup everything was professional and went smoothly. Our two shy dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the daily updates and communication. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Momo loves Jesse and Kimmy! He’s always so sad to leave. They are mindful of the care he needs. They shower him with lots of love and pets. They provide updates regularly, I know Momo is in safe hands with them.”
“Wow! We felt so secure having Daniel dog-sit for us. He sent us regular updates with photos and took her on really nice long walks. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be seeking his services again in the future.”
“I appreciate Nadia being available very last minute for day care services. She's very kind and seemed experienced with dogs. My Lobo had a nice time playing with her dogs. They were very friendly.”
“I always feel at ease dropping Enzo off with Margaret. He is a unique dog with some health issues and Margaret is well equipped and knowledgeable about his care. She goes out of the way to take care of him and I always feel reassured he is in good hands.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life (at one point we had 5 at time!) love taking them for long walks, teaching them new tricks like weave (and handstand!), and engaging their minds with agility. My senior dog recently passed and while I am not ready to get a new dog just yet, I miss having a dog so want to occasionally dog sit to help others out with their dogs before getting another dog of my own. I work full time but occasionally work from home. For this reason, Thursday to Sunday or Monday is best for me. I am active and love going on walks, hikes, and runs in and around the beautiful Portola Valley neighborhood. I love to hang on the couch and snuggle in the evenings! Dogs (non shedding) allowed on the bed :) My large backyard is fenced. My husband Dave and I often are asked by friends to help train their dogs because we love to help and are good at it! :)
“Sandra & Jose are everything you could want in the people who you trust to watch your pet. I could tell from the photos that my pup felt safe, happy, and truly at home with this lovely couple. It kinda felt like he belongs with them, so I was happy to extend his stay. Communication was on point, lots of cute pupdates, and my dog came home as one should after a lovely vacation— relaxed and happy. Thank you both for your time & dedication. It means the world to my little family.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Gifu look after my Golden Retriever, Maya, while I was away on vacation and I would definitely recommend him to watch my pup again. He took the time to understand Maya’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences, ensuring that she felt comfortable and well-cared for. He provided updates, which reassured me that Maya was in great hands. Maya was happy and healthy when I returned so I recommend Gifu to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. He exceeded all my expectations and made my time away stress-free knowing that Maya was receiving the best care.”
