“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.”
“Tracy was an excellent dog sitter and took great care of our rambunctious Samoyed! She followed our meticulous instructions and sent frequent updates. We trust our dog is in good hands with Tracy.”
“Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.”
“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!”
“This is Indy's second time with Kenny., and she had a great experience. Kenny, his daughter, and their sweet dog, Rainbow, gave her lots of love and attention, and she had a wonderful time. Kenny is a great communicator and shared updates, photos, and videos. We'll definitely come back in the future!”
“Meerim & Saumya were amazing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They took care of our dog Bailey for 2 weeks and the entire experience was exceptional. It was clear they treated her like family. Meerim & Saumya were attentive, loving, and thoughtful in every aspect of her care. Bailey was comfortable in their home and we received plenty of photos and updates! When she was picked up, Bailey was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time, which says everything! I would happily trust them with Bailey again.”
“Joy did a great job of caring for Kaylee. She is the only dog sitter we've ever had who read our suggested games to play (hide the toy etc) and used them! Kaylee was excited to see us when we returned but also immediately went back to say goodbye to Joy...a great sign that she had a good time.”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“Mora is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She treated our dogs like family. Took them to parks and on hikes. They came back home very happy and well taken care of. Mora also sent many pictures and also gave our dogs lots of affection. Bonus is she has a fenced in backyard. We will definitely be calling Mora again!”
“Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for two years, it’s been a fun experience. I get to meet new pets and make them feel like home. I’m currently working from home, that gives me enough time for your pups and cats. I’m available for morning walks on weekdays 9am I live in a area where pups like to run, my home is a safe place as well where they are taken care of as if they are mine
“Daniel was wonderful! He was communicative, sent us regular updates, and was flexible with us. We hit traffic on our way to pick up and he was understanding and kind about it. Our babies seemed so happy and at home with him. We would definitely rebook with him in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and other animals since I was a child. I was brought up loving animals and everyone in the family has pets. I brought home my first dog from my aunt’s house when I was 9, and he became my best friend and lived to 12 years old. I’m a proud auntie to my sister’s Shiba Inu and have helped raise her since she was a puppy. I hope to meet your best friend soon. I’m home all days of the week so your pet will never be without care and attention except when I step out for a brief errand. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe neighborhood with walkable streets. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and walks throughout the day.
“Otis had a great time boarding with Ethan and Gina. We got regular updates with photos and videos. He looked very happy, eating well and seemed to have great time with other dogs. Ethan and Gina were flexible with our late pickup for which we are very thankful. Appreciate the care and attention!!”
“Jasmine was very responsible and took care of our easily excitable dog with Love. Before the drop off, she carefully asked for important care instructions, and during the stay she kept us updated and shared photos.”
“Iryna was great! She was very responsive, she was flexible with the meet and greet, pickup, and dropoff timing, and parking was easy. Tahini is shy but warmed up to her quite quickly and loved exploring her apartment, where he had plenty of space to run around. We didn’t have much experience introducing him to other dogs, and she helped him make friends in controlled settings, including at the dog park for small dogs across the street. We loved the daily photos, and the daily videos always showed him happy and wagging his tail. He came home happy and healthy.”
“Jennifer is terrific. She took excellent care of our mix-breed dog, Ozzie. In addition to having him run around and be entertained by her two dogs, she kept him happy and safe. She even cuddled up with him on the couch each evening. We will use her again!”
“Galina and Aleksei were so sweet to my very moody and temperamental dog!! It was our first time boarding her and Galina and Aleksei took lots of photos and videos and updated us throughout the entire stay. They took her on lots of walks and even to the beach and park. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of Chili!”
“Kathryn and Denis are top notch dog people. They and their family provided a cozy and welcoming home for our high energy pup. Our dog does not always settle in quickly but did so quickly with this beautiful family. She, the dog, even appeared to mind her manners. Thank you K & D.”

About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.
“Ke was very responsive and easy to coordinate meeting my cat. He was very comfortable with her. Ke spent a good amount of time with him while I was away and sent plenty of photos. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a catsitter.”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly enjoys getting to know each cat’s unique personality. I first started caring for cats about 10 years ago when I helped my college roommate take care of her cat while we were living together. About seven years ago, I adopted my own cat, a Himalayan Siamese, and she has taught me so much about the different quirks, routines, and personalities that cats can have. Because of my experience with my own cat, I understand that every cat has their own comfort level when it comes to attention and interaction. Some cats love playtime and cuddles, while others prefer a calmer presence and their own space. I always let the cat guide the interaction and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m very attentive to routines and details, whether that means feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, or making sure your cat gets playtime and enrichment while you’re away. I also know how important it is for owners to feel at ease, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your cat is doing. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I would treat them with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Sydney was very flexible and take great care of our golden retriever, Stella, while I was out of town for work. She communicated excellently and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I've lived with and cared for cats for several years and truly enjoy their unique personalities. I understand that some cats are social and cuddly while others prefer space, and I always respect their boundaries. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, play sessions, brushing when tolerated, and general cleanup. I focus on keeping the litter area, your home, and your pet clean and comfortable. I'm very good at following directions and will ask thoughtful clarifying questions during our first visit to make sure I understand your cat's routine. I send consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Kelun is AMAZING and went above and beyond taking care of our cat while we were away. She took absolutely hilarious and cute pictures of Louie, gave super detailed updates, and got along with him super well! We will absolutely be booking with her again! 110% recommend - your furry friends will be in great hands with her.”
“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!!”
“Xiaoming (Yuki) is an amazing cat sitter! She took incredible care of our two cats while we were away, treating them with love and attention as if they were her own. She even handled daily medication for one of our cats - no small task - and did so with patience and confidence. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos and gave us daily updates on their condition, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Although this is a last min book, Meerim did an amazing job! She was very responsive and took good care of Judy while I was away for 5 days. She also communicated things well during the meet and greet to make sure she understood Judy’s needs. I will definitely reach out to Meerim again for any future bookings.”
“Lina did check-in visits for my cat and she was wonderful! She sent very detailed messages and many photos each day about her visit. Very thorough and reliable! Will definitely re-book in the future!”
“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!”

About: I grew up in a home with multiple pets, including dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My daughter has been asking for a dog, and while we’re not ready for our own just yet, we truly enjoy welcoming visiting pups into our home and treating them like family 🐕💛 I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. We enjoy daily walks 🐾, playtime 🎾, and lots of cuddles, while always respecting each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to follow your dog’s routine closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, special diets, walk preferences, or exercise needs. My goal is to make your dog feel happy and at home while you’re away.

About: I volunteer with Furry Friends Rescue, so I’m used to all kinds of dogs. Real hands-on rescue experience means I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. I pay attention to behavior, stick to routines, and adjust to each dog so they feel secure and understood. I treat every animal like they’re my own and focus on keeping them calm, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.😇 Pet care fits in great! I can do drop-in visits, walks, or playtime on weekdays after 2pm, and I’m totally flexible for weekend boarding or overnight stays if you need it. I love spending real time with the animals, not just rushing in and out. I have a fenced backyard, so your pets can run around safely at my place. I make sure they’re comfortable, get plenty of exercise and attention, and I’ll crate them if that’s what they’re used to or if I need to step out. At your home, I follow your exact routine: feeding, walks, any special rules and I’ll send updates and pics so you know everything’s good!!
“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”
About: I cared for my own dog for 8 years, which gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, exercise, feeding, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs at different stages of life. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I’m patient, calm, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very reliable and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routines. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I recently graduated from UC San Diego and am currently back home while searching for my first full-time role, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I can easily accommodate different routines and timing needs. Whether your pet needs consistent daily care or more last-minute support, I’m happy to be flexible. Because of my availability, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and not rush visits, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent, since that helps them feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive during visits and make sure pets are safe at all times, including keeping doors and gates secure, watching for anything unusual in their behavior, and providing updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also patient and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Ethan and Gina were great for watching our dog, Copper! They sent us multiple pictures and videos of Copper throughout the day. It reassured me that Copper was in good hands. They were also able to help with an early drop off and for that we are grateful for! We will definitely be booking with Ethan and Gina again in the future!”
“Andrew was fantastic. We were a little nervous about taking her to a sitter since she is pretty nervous but Andrew did a great job taking care of her. We also appreciated all of the pictures he sent us through the day. We look forward to returning again soon!”

My schedule is flexible and can accommodate daytime needs. I also take last minute booking. I have a private, fenced patio in my apartment that's a great space for your pet to enjoy some fresh air safely. During our walks, I'll send you updates with a detailed summary, so you'll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and what we did.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.

“Estela is a wonderful walker! Lana can be a handful but Estela did a great job controlling her and tiring her out so that she was calm and well behaved at home! Would love to have Estela as a walker again!”
About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)
“Mica has been great with our puppy! I'm always sad leaving Frankie when I must go into the office but feel comfortable knowing he's in good hands. Highly recommend Mica for walks!”
About: A couple of years ago, I worked for Primal Canine Dog Training as a Kennel Tech and was training to become a dog trainer. As a Kennel Tech., I cared for about 20 dogs a day, all different breeds and sizes. I cleaned their kennel area, feed them, gave them water, took all of them on walks, did agility training through an obstacle course on-site, worked on their basic obedience, showered them, cleaned up any messes they made, and of course, gave them lots of treats, pets, and overall, love. Since I left Primal Canine, I have continued my dog care and training through working with owners like yourself in taking care of their dogs. I have been walking many dogs as well as dog/house sitting. The difference from working at Primal Canine and working as an independent dog caretaker is that I now have the opportunity to develop a stronger and closer bond with each dog I care for since I spend more time with them. I also used to live with two Pomeranian dogs and worked with dogs on film sets, filming them as they "acted" on command. To me, all dogs, no matter how big, are like little children. They need to be loved, respected, played with, strengthened, and guided to do the right actions. I see each dog has its own unique & individual self. In this, I treat each dog different from others and with the same love and respect I'd give for all dogs.
About: I cared for my own dog for 8 years, which gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, exercise, feeding, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs at different stages of life. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I’m patient, calm, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very reliable and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routines. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I recently graduated from UC San Diego and am currently back home while searching for my first full-time role, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I can easily accommodate different routines and timing needs. Whether your pet needs consistent daily care or more last-minute support, I’m happy to be flexible. Because of my availability, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and not rush visits, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent, since that helps them feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive during visits and make sure pets are safe at all times, including keeping doors and gates secure, watching for anything unusual in their behavior, and providing updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also patient and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.

“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!”
“This is Indy's second time with Kenny., and she had a great experience. Kenny, his daughter, and their sweet dog, Rainbow, gave her lots of love and attention, and she had a wonderful time. Kenny is a great communicator and shared updates, photos, and videos. We'll definitely come back in the future!”
“Meerim & Saumya were amazing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They took care of our dog Bailey for 2 weeks and the entire experience was exceptional. It was clear they treated her like family. Meerim & Saumya were attentive, loving, and thoughtful in every aspect of her care. Bailey was comfortable in their home and we received plenty of photos and updates! When she was picked up, Bailey was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time, which says everything! I would happily trust them with Bailey again.”
“Joy did a great job of caring for Kaylee. She is the only dog sitter we've ever had who read our suggested games to play (hide the toy etc) and used them! Kaylee was excited to see us when we returned but also immediately went back to say goodbye to Joy...a great sign that she had a good time.”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“Daniel was wonderful! He was communicative, sent us regular updates, and was flexible with us. We hit traffic on our way to pick up and he was understanding and kind about it. Our babies seemed so happy and at home with him. We would definitely rebook with him in the future.”
“Jennifer is terrific. She took excellent care of our mix-breed dog, Ozzie. In addition to having him run around and be entertained by her two dogs, she kept him happy and safe. She even cuddled up with him on the couch each evening. We will use her again!”
“Kathryn and Denis are top notch dog people. They and their family provided a cozy and welcoming home for our high energy pup. Our dog does not always settle in quickly but did so quickly with this beautiful family. She, the dog, even appeared to mind her manners. Thank you K & D.”
“Bagheera had very good care with Jess and Kimmy. Their big fenced yard and friendly dog made him comfortable, and he became attached to Kimmy! I will definitely ask them to care for my little sweetie again!”
About: Our family has loved dogs for years, and we're excited to share our home with yours! Our kids have spent the past year as trusted dog walkers for several neighbors on our street, building a reputation for being dependable, attentive, and great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Our home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Palo Alto with a large fully fenced backyard and a spacious front yard, perfect for safe off-leash play, fetch, and lounging in the sun. With two active, dog-loving kids in the house, your pet will never be short on attention, belly rubs, or walks around our beautiful neighborhood. Whether your dog needs gentle company, lots of playtime, or a few long strolls a day, we'll treat them like one of our own. We offer weekend boarding from Friday through Monday, when our family's schedule is fully flexible and dog-focused. Your dog will get multiple walks around our leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. With two dog-loving kids at home, your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. They'll feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. In our home, dogs get full access to our fenced backyard, multiple daily walks around our Palo Alto neighborhood, and lots of family company between adventures. We follow your dog's feeding schedule and routine closely, and send photo updates throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
“Michael is wonderful to work with - he's reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. He took great care of my sweet Aussie, Alastor, while I was on vacation for a week. The whole process was smooth and I could tell that Alastor was relaxed during his stay from the cute pictures of him having a nice time! Thanks again!”
“Thank you Manli for taking such good care of Finn! He had such a good time he is very tired today. And thank you for the cute photos.. looks like he made some new friends. Also we appreciate you watching him on rather short notice and allowing is to pick him up late. We really appreciate it.”
“Smitha was amazing with Roo! She can be a very anxious pup, so Smitha even scheduled a meetup time beforehand to get Roo introduced. This was our first time hiring a sitter that wasn’t a family member/friend, so even we were nervous, but she made Roo feel very comfortable. When we went to pick her up, she even gave Smitha a hug goodbye! I could tell she enjoyed her time there”
“An amazing Rover experience with Philip for our little energetic pup! Philip was proactive in scheduling a meet and greet, and understanding of Kaya’s quirky behaviors. During boarding, we received multiple updates each day and knew that Kaya was in great care. Glad to have found him and definitely recommend!”
“Audrina was absolutely amazing and part of me wants to gatekeep her so she'd be available to take care of Yoshi whenever needed! Throughout the boarding, Audrina remained highly professional and experienced with all types of dogs. This was my first time using Rover so I was extremely nervous. I expressed my concerns with Yoshi being a senior, reactive dog, but Audrina and Donny eased all of my worries. We set up a meet and greet where they both took the time to ask questions about Yoshi's daily routine, habits, health, and personality. She also sent over a Google form to ensure nothing was forgotten about Yoshi's needs! Audrina went above and beyond - sending daily updates as well as cute pictures/videos the entirety of the stay. I could immediately tell that Audrina and Donny were giving Yoshi so much love and Yoshi looked extremely comfortable with them. He was playful, happy, and anxious-free! What stood out to me the most was that Audrina took the time to train Yoshi and even give him stimulating activities on the rainy days! I truly don't think I could have found a better person to take care of Yoshi!”
“Jen is an incredible pet sitter! She is so organized and clearly has expertise in dog care. She took care of our 20 month golden retriever for a full week. She took great care of her, took her on walks, taught her new things and was extremely kind to her. She was awesome about sending me regular updates. She gets the highest recommendation from me!!”
“Yun and his partner did a great job taking care of our pup, Bagel, for a whole week. Bagel had lots of fun with them, they walked and played fetch with him daily. They made sure they understood the care instructions we provided and sent daily updates. Most importantly, Bagel came home a happy dog. Highly recommend!”
