“Could not have asked for a better accommodation and care for my pooch! Patrick communicated and provided updates and photos daily and I could see that my dog was well-cared for and loved. I would definitely recommend him to all other pet parents! Thank you, Pat!”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Judith is an awesome sitter with a great set up for dogs in her home/yard. She’s been so accommodating and has reduced the stress of my dog sitting needs!! Thanks so much Judith!”
“Nicole took great care of Sophie and kept her entertained with walks downtown and to the park. We are so grateful to have found Nicole to watch our pup and plan to book with her again.”
“James and family were fantastic. James is very good with dogs and Bob seemed to bond with him immediately, so I felt very comfortable leaving him. James made sure to text me if he had a question and he sent me picture updates at the end of each day. I will certainly ask James to watch Bob again. Thanks, Tim”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Highly recommend Jenean! This was the first time leaving my puppy with someone else, and I felt comfortable knowing that my dog would be the only one Jenean was caring for at the same time. She has a lovely home, a sweet personality, and took my dog for daily walks. She also was wonderfully easy to work with -- VERY responsive to text messages. Will definitely re-book for future trips!”
“Michael took great care of our dog for a couple of nights! He sent lots of updates and photos so we felt comfortable that our dog was in good hands. At the time, our dog needed special medical care and Michael did a great job handling that. He also took our dog on walks which we appreciate! We would definitely book with him again.”
About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.
“Excellent experience! Our dog had a great time while he was there, and he was very well cared for. We also received many lovely photos that helped us miss him just a bit less 😉. We Highly recommend Brayden and Noel!”
“Kyra had a long stay at Yena's this time due to back to back trips and, as always, she kept me updated with daily videos and photos that reassured me that Kyra was happy and well. Kyra loves it at Yena's and I really appreciate having such a safe, happy, and reliable place for her to stay while we are away.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.”
“I was able to book Marien with kind of a short notice, which I genuinely appreciate. A based off of the daily photo updates, I could safely say Archer enjoyed his stay :) I don’t think he wanted to leave!”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”

“We’ve asked Alexis to care for our cats many times, and she has consistently done a wonderful job. She gives them exceptional attention and clearly cares for their well-being. Knowing they’re in such good hands allows us to feel completely at ease whenever we’re out of town. We absolutely trust her and will continue to rely on her to care for our cats in the future.”
“Allison took wonderful care of our baby, Luna, while we were away for three weeks. Three weeks is a long time and I was terrified about leaving Luna behind, but Allison took wonderful care of her. It was such a comfort to know that Luna was safe and cared for. Allison went above and beyond to make friends with Luna (she can be sassy) and care for her. I especially enjoyed the frequent videos and photos that Allison sent. Luna is now a BIG FAN of Auntie Allison! We're excited to work with Allison again when we next go on a trip.”
“Andrielle did an amazing job taking care of Cleo, as well as bringing in mail & deliveries & watering plants! Cleo was happy when I got home which says a lot about being taken care of by someone new. I highly recommend Andrielle!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats my whole life and have been cat sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 8 years old. While I love all animals, cats have always held a special place in my heart—and I’d like to think they usually feel the same way about me! Whether your cat is playful and outgoing or shy and independent, I take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy spending quality time playing, giving attention, and providing companionship rather than simply stopping by to refill food and water. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to cat sitter for many of my friends and their feline family members. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands. 🐾
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”
“Tatiana was great with my two kitties! She was really attentive to them and even got our shy boy to warm up to her. I loved getting all the videos/pictures and updates and it was a relief to know they were in such good care!”
About: I absolutely love cats, and have one of my own. I’ve taken care of cats since I was 12 years old. I aim to take good care of your cat, respecting their boundaries, making them feel safe, and giving them the proper love and care needed. I have experience administering liquid medication, pills, and inhalers to cats.
“Asuka took amazing care of our cat while we were on vacation. Great communication, daily updates, and our cat was happy and relaxed when we got home. She was always on top of things like checking our mail and watering our plants. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Valerie did a wonderful job looking after my cat. Her daily reports were great. It was so nice to know my cat was in good hands while I was away. I'm so happy I found Valerie.”
About: I have always had at least one dog in my life, so not only does my love for dogs run deeply but so does my knowledge of care. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable, fed, watered, and has gotten time to be outside to play and go to the bathroom. In addition, I have taken care of other peoples' animals throughout my life. As of right now, my weeks are open to taking care of your pets in whatever way they may need. This is my top priority. When taking care of your pet I make sure they always have water and food, have time for potty breaks, and are comfortable. I also always give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and love. If there are any special instructions, I also make sure to give the specific care your pet needs.
“Jennifer was a wonderful cat sitter for our three cats. She was extremely responsive and professional and very helpful in all aspects. We’d definitely have her take care of our cats agains!”
“Xiaomin did a fantastic job caring for our two cats while we were away. She was responsive, send photos, and took care of all required tasks. Our cats seemed super happy when we returned home. 10/10!”
“Catherine is very attentive and communicative. We felt so comfortable leaving town knowing she was there to spend time with our cat, Captain. Catherine handled every task, and made sure to send lots of great pictures. We would definitely book her again.”
“Kelly is an incredible sitter!!! She took excellent care of our kitties, sent a lot of photos and updates, has amazing communication skills, is timely, and we could truly tell that she cares about our kitties' wellbeing. She even went out of her way on a 100+ degree day to come back after her visit to close the window that was left open by our apartment complex repairpeople. I would highly recommend! Kelly is our #1 sitter from now on! :)”

“Jennifer was amazing! My 2 pups are full of energy and can be a handful, Jennifer had no issues. She worked with my schedule of dropping them off early and was flexible with my pick up times. My pups spent 3 days with her and her two other wonderful dogs. They came home each night tired and happy. Jennifer has a backyard area where they played and had toys and beds to lounge on. Will rebook her again!”
“Nicole was a great day care for my dog today! We arranged a little meet and greet the weekend before, which was such an amazing touch. My doggy came back happy! I would definitely reach out to Nicole again :)”
“James was great. He was aware of Lucy’s profile, sent pictures, asked questions about her habits, personality etc. Lucy seemed to be very happy with her stay with James and his family. If they will have her back, I would definitely love for them to care for her again.”
“We absolutely love our pet sitter! River always comes home happy, tired, and excited after his visits. It’s clear he is well cared for and enjoys spending time there. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands, and we truly appreciate the love, attention, and care he receives every time. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie has been so wonderful! My puppy, Ruth, has separation anxiety and is destructive when I leave her home alone. I'm a teacher, and I had to start working in-person again on pretty short notice. I was so anxious about how Ruth would do without me, as she had gotten so used to me working from home. However, Ruth absolutely loves being with Valerie, and her separation anxiety has improved significantly after just two weeks. I highly recommend Valerie, especially if you're worried about how your pooch will do with you going back to work!”
“Great first dog sitting day for Zoe (pittie) at Michael’s. I was worried about Zoe and Michael’s dog (Delilah) getting along (Zoe is a follower who always wants to play and Delilah is an older dog), but Michael was able to allay my concerns and it appeared that D and Z did well together. Will update the review after my next dog sitting day at Michael’s this week!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”
“Mochi loved her time with Marien! We could tell she felt immediately at ease when we dropped her off (which is very unusual for Mochi) and appreciated the frequent photo updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be bringing her back for more walks and cuddles in the future!”

“Sarah did such a great job watching me and my mom's 3 dogs for 10+ hours. She kindly offered an hour of her time for a meet and greet for my mom's 2 shy and nervous dogs before their stay. She sent comprehensive updates and photos in a timely manner and was very responsive to our questions. Her home was clean and organized and looked like a pleasant space for our dogs to spend the day. When we visited, she swiftly moved all the other dogs into separate bedrooms so that ours weren't bombarded as they entered and were able to get comfortable. We didn't hear a peep from the other dogs (not one bark!) as we gave her a quick rundown of their personalities/mealtimes/etc. She took them out with her "small dog" group to their neighborhood dog park for over 45 minutes. My mom and I are very satisfied with her services and plan to use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been working with animals since my teenage years, including 2 years at a pet store and assisting at multiple dog expos starting at age 16. I’ve owned and raised dogs throughout my life—one lived to 17 years old, and I currently have a 3-year-old friendly miniature poodle. I personally house-trained both of my dogs and have strong hands-on experience with daily care routines, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming (for cooperative dogs), and light grooming such as basic haircuts. I’m comfortable managing a structured, calm environment and have experience caring for multiple pets at home, including my two outdoor cats. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We are a family of six, and I am home 24/7, so dogs will never be left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule that allows for regular walks, supervised outdoor time, and attention throughout the day. My large gated property makes it easy to provide safe exercise, and we structure the day to keep dogs calm, engaged, and well cared for. Dogs in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment with 24/7 supervision, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time on our large, fully gated property, as well as long walks in our safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. Safety is our priority—we introduce dogs carefully, feed separately when needed, and adjust supervision and leash use based on each dog’s personality. Our friendly miniature poodle helps create a welcoming environment.
“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Jennifer for the day! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day so we knew he was having a good day 😌. I would trust her again in a heartbeat! It even seems like our pup was ready to make a friend with hers. Coming back to a well taken care of, happy dog was the cherry on top of a great day. 10/10 - thank you Jennifer!”
“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”

“We hired Valerie to walk our dog Hank twice a day while he stayed at my mom’s during our vacation, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she was incredibly thorough with planning. Valerie asked all the right questions and clearly came prepared knowing exactly how to handle him. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes real pride in her work. Hank was happy, well-exercised, and in great hands the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Valerie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker!”
“Andrielle is great! She’s dependable and reliable, comes on time for Duke’s walks and always walks him at least 30 minutes, about a mile each day (or more!). I’m so glad I found her for Duke, I know he’s well taken care of and well exercised while I’m at work. And she takes the cutest pictures of him :) Thanks Andrielle!”
“Allison is a great dog walker. We have a 75 lb, 1.5 year old German Shepherd who needs a lot of patience and persistence to work with, as well as more positive socializing experiences. She has walked him 4 times now, helping him ease into being with a new person without us and reinforcing his training. She’s very patient with him at the start of walks (the hardest part). She also always sends great reports of how he did after and takes adorable photos, which we appreciate. She is a great listener and was patient with us as well, and the overall process of getting our dog comfortable and reducing stress. We trust her with our dog to do a great job walking him, which is huge! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need!

I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!

I was an attorney in New Orleans for 10 years and recently passed the CA bar exam but am taking some time off from the hustle of lawyer life. I’m living in Moraga while I renovate a house in Berkeley with my husband. So, I am often traversing around. I am responsible and can be trusted with complicated pet tasks or simple walks. I don’t have many reviews because my experience comes from care given off this app. I am happy to answer any questions. I recently moved full time to the area after 6 years of traveling back and forth. I am taking a break from being an attorney and have an open schedule. I can help in whatever way is needed. I have experience with dogs that are treated like humans or dogs more formally trained. Please let me know what is best.

“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Judith is an awesome sitter with a great set up for dogs in her home/yard. She’s been so accommodating and has reduced the stress of my dog sitting needs!! Thanks so much Judith!”
“James and family were fantastic. James is very good with dogs and Bob seemed to bond with him immediately, so I felt very comfortable leaving him. James made sure to text me if he had a question and he sent me picture updates at the end of each day. I will certainly ask James to watch Bob again. Thanks, Tim”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Michael took great care of our dog for a couple of nights! He sent lots of updates and photos so we felt comfortable that our dog was in good hands. At the time, our dog needed special medical care and Michael did a great job handling that. He also took our dog on walks which we appreciate! We would definitely book with him again.”
About: I’d love to care for and walk your pets. Dog park romps, petting sessions, and snuggling provided. I care for them in my home or drop into your home as needed. Experience with large animals, geriatric and young animals. If you are traveling and need a reliable, fun, experienced sitter for your pets, I’d be happy to do a meet and greet and meet you and your pets. I have a 6year old neutered male Australian Sheppard and a 2 year old indoor/outdoor cat. Both are amenable to sharing their space with new furry friends. I'm an active retiree so I have plenty of time for your furry family members. My dog loves to play with new furry friends or chill and give them space. I have a fenced yard and dog door for in and out privileges. I accept dogs that are crated at night or free roaming. Home is well suited to pets.
“Kyra had a long stay at Yena's this time due to back to back trips and, as always, she kept me updated with daily videos and photos that reassured me that Kyra was happy and well. Kyra loves it at Yena's and I really appreciate having such a safe, happy, and reliable place for her to stay while we are away.”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.”
“Thank you, Max, Virginie and Louise for taking such good care of our beloved, Rosa. While only for an overnight, we could quickly see that she adjusted well. We'll be in touch again with plans for another visit! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been working with animals since my teenage years, including 2 years at a pet store and assisting at multiple dog expos starting at age 16. I’ve owned and raised dogs throughout my life—one lived to 17 years old, and I currently have a 3-year-old friendly miniature poodle. I personally house-trained both of my dogs and have strong hands-on experience with daily care routines, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming (for cooperative dogs), and light grooming such as basic haircuts. I’m comfortable managing a structured, calm environment and have experience caring for multiple pets at home, including my two outdoor cats. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We are a family of six, and I am home 24/7, so dogs will never be left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule that allows for regular walks, supervised outdoor time, and attention throughout the day. My large gated property makes it easy to provide safe exercise, and we structure the day to keep dogs calm, engaged, and well cared for. Dogs in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment with 24/7 supervision, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time on our large, fully gated property, as well as long walks in our safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. Safety is our priority—we introduce dogs carefully, feed separately when needed, and adjust supervision and leash use based on each dog’s personality. Our friendly miniature poodle helps create a welcoming environment.
“Luna had a great time! She was able to go in and outside as she pleased, and they took her on long walks and out to play. They sent regular updates and I was so glad to leave our pup with someone who gave her so much love and attention.”

“Thank you Frank and Thao for taking such great care of Louie. We appreciated the pictures and updates and looked like he had so much fun playing with Walter in the big backyard. We were comforted leaving our fur baby in your care and will rebook again!!”
