“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

“This was our 4th booking with Anthony and Nikita. We know that our dog will get loving, careful care, and there will be daily updates and photos. It's a weight off our minds to know he's in good hands.”

“Matthew and Van Jospeh did a wonderful job hosting our dog, Stanley, for a 2 night stay. They were very easy to work with, were flexible, very friendly, and Stanley seemed at ease the moment he met them. Would absolutely use their boarding services again. Thank you!”

“Stephanie was so great with our (very) anxious senior dog. Lots of enrichment activities and walks, and very patient, with excellent communication and a relaxed, knowledgeable vibe.”

“Leonard truly came through for us on a last-minute trip out of town. A devoted dog person through and through, he kept us updated with photos and was incredibly communicative. His care and attention made him our favorite dogsitter to date. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and again!”

“I can't thank Danielle enough for the incredible care she provided for my puppy while I was away for my wedding and honeymoon! For two weeks, she went above and beyond to ensure my furry friend was happy and healthy. Danielle sent frequent updates, which really put my mind at ease during such a busy time. She even took the extra step to care for my puppy when she developed ear mites, administering medication and keeping her comfortable. When I returned, my puppy looked absolutely adorable in a cozy hoodie and a festive Halloween scarf! I highly recommend Danielle for anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals truly shine through. Thank you, Danielle, for taking such wonderful care of my puppy!”

“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”


“Latricia kept my 2 dogs for 4 days. She checked in with me regularly and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs were well taken care of and I could tell that they enjoyed themselves. They didn't want to leave when it was time to go. I will definitely be leaving my boys with Latricia again.”
“Kelly is the best sitter ever! My spoiled, high energy Yorkie is treated like the prince that he thinks he is when staying at Kelly’s house. He gets lots of attention, special treats, individual playtime, and has a lot of fun. I highly recommend Kelly.”

“Fantastic dog lover, Rob, cared for my dog Kumo twice now! We love Uncle Rob because he lets Kumo snuggle with him, is kindhearted and welcoming. He has a great handle on the dog pack he hosts. I would 100% recommend him!”

“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”

“Lee is incredible! We boarded our dog Mochi with her for two weeks while we traveled, and Lee took wonderful care of her. Mochi can be nervous around new people and dogs, and Lee made sure she was comfortable and safe in her care. Lee is also super communicative and responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Albina took great care of Abby. This was my very first time leaving her with a sitter and I was a very anxious momma! Albina was patient with me and put my anxiety at ease with ongoing communication, pictures, and videos. I would definitely recommend Albina!”

“Tiara is an absolute gem! She took the most amazing care of our little guy Frankie and treated him like her own. He got all the love, snuggles, and attention he deserved — plus a bonus squirrel hunting expedition that he is still talking about (in barks, obviously 🐿️). Frankie came home happy, tired, and already dreaming about his next visit. If your pup deserves a five-star stay — and let’s be honest, they all do — Tiara is your person. We can’t recommend her enough and cannot wait to 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.”

“Shannon was such an amazing help. Unfortunately our pup was not able to attend our wedding rehearsal and Shannon saved the day. She was flexible with pick up times, showed up exactly when we needed her, and was very professional. Shannon’s house is just as described and is perfect to house doggies. She sent many pictures and updates so you will never miss a moment.”

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”


About: Attentive, reliable cat care focused on keeping your cat comfortable, relaxed, and secure while you're away. I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration when needed, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how they're doing.

About: I absolutely adore cats and have two of my own, Rosie and Alice! My family and friends have always known that I would be more than happy to take care of their kitties whenever they need, starting at the age of 10. I love both playing with easily trusting kitties and winning the love (or at least ambivalence) of mean, grouchy old cats too.

“Fernando was great. He watched our cat cashew while we were away getting married! It was great having Fernando here as someone who is familiar with cats as he did not try to coax cashew out when he was hiding. Sent photos, even when cashew didn’t come out just so that we had peace of mind that Fernando came in, gave him all of his supplies.”


“Jessica did a great job for the cats and was surprisingly able to coax them out during a short trip. She was very punctual with her check-ins which was very appreciated and did a great job clearing the wet food for the cats each day. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I've cared for both senior and young cats with very particular diets. Any instructions you have for me, I'll be sure to follow to a tee. We will play, I'll clean litter, spot clean any messes, and make sure they have food and clean water. I can board cats, walk dogs, and do drop-in visits for both dogs and cats.

“Joyce is a very responsible and responsive care taker! She had helped check on our precious Hamburger (cat) and played with her tons! She also takes amazing pictures and has detailed comments on Hamburger’s status. We very much enjoyed her comments and pics ourselves :)”


“Ayanna took great care of my 2 cats! She was very responsive, sent videos to check how she gave my cat medication, and lots of photos, I’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”


About: I've been around and taken care of cats for over 7 years, and I also have a 4 year old cat of my own named Mango! Because I'm a long time cat owner, I really know how to read their body language and understand their moods, whether they want to play, snuggle, or just need some space. I’m super clean and detail oriented when it comes to scooping litter, keeping things fresh, and sticking to feeding routines (I’m very familiar with premium diets and raw/freeze, dried food, too!). I know how much cats love their comfort zones, so I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'll treat them just like my own!
About: I have worked with animals my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and many more! I love animals and they tend to love me (I've been told I have very calming energy :) My pet care experience is extensive and all encompassing! I love long walks, fresh air, puppy/kitty cuddles, etc. and I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have an extremely flexible work schedule so it is super easy for me to pop out most days to take care of your babies! I'm happy to follow your lead and whatever you are comfortable with! If you prefer we play in the home, can do, or if you prefer we have a little jaunt around the neighborhood, we can do that too!

“Laura cared for my cat at my apartment while I was out of town. My cat is very shy with new people, but Laura quickly charmed her with good vibes and treats. Laura is very professional, punctual, communicative, and always looking for ways to go above and beyond. I couldn’t be happier with this pet sitter, and I will definitely request visits from her in the future.”


“This is our second time booking with Celeste, and she’s so amazing with our 4 cats. We’re always kept informed with detailed updates of their daily routine, and we can tell through the photo and video updates that our boys feel relaxed, comfortable, and happy around her.”

“This was my 2nd time booking with Alejandra to check in with my puppy for 30 mins while I was at my office all day. Alejandra is so sweet and caring, my boy MoMo loves her so much! TYSM for taking such good care of him and accommodating all my requests! ❤️❤️❤️”


About: I've grown up with multiple cats and now have my own Black cat Billie whom I love very much. I'm my friends go to pet sitter! I have experience with anxious cats and administering medicines/monitoring behaviors.

“Adela was great! She took excellent care of the cats and gave us regular updates, along with adorable pictures! She was also flexible and understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly!”

“Akiko is an absolute angel. She was so sensitive and patient and sweet with my little kitty Pistachio, I am really impressed. I am really thankful to her for sending little photos and videos of my cat because like any pet owner I miss her when I'm away and I love seeing that she's happy and doing well. Akiko also did house sitting for me and went above and beyond to make sure the place looked nice when I returned home from my trip. Really, stop looking at reviews and just request Akiko already :-)”

“VJ and Matthew took amazing care of my dog Willa! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. Willa seemed to have a great time with their dogs and feel comfortable despite her anxiety. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: **Available after 3pm on M,Tu,W,Th, Anytime on F,Sat,Sun** I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Growing up, I regularly helped care for my family’s dogs whenever they needed support, which gave me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I’m also a cat parent to my two kitties, Michi and Kiki, whom I’ve raised since they were just 8 weeks old. They’ll soon be two years old! Caring for them has given me daily experience with cat care, routines, playtime, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I am currently a master’s student at UC Berkeley. Most days of the week, I end classes at 1pm, so I will be available after that, Sundays and Saturdays the whole day! I have a large apartment for your pup to play in! I also have an outside space for your pup to play in with supervision. Your pet will be my priority during our time together, and rest assured that they will be treated with the utmost respect, love, and kindness!

About: *I only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!

“Latricia was very sweet with our dog! It's clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. She sent multiple photos and updates during the day. She also gave us helpful information about his behavior afterwards.”

“Azar was great with the coqui! She’s so nice and easy to coordinate with. We met beforehand and it was clear she loves dogs, so I was comfortable with her caring for coqui. She sent some pics of him couch lounging and took him on a bunch of walks. I would definitely have him hang with her again.”

“Brittany was really nice and our dog Burt seemed to do really well with her! At drop off he just went right with her! He got a few walks in and got along with Brittany's dog Basco. Burt generally prefers chill-er companions and it seems like Basco was that. Would definitely return to Brittany for future care.”

About: Hi there! We’re a married couple with no kids, and dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up in households our whole lives caring for pups of all sizes from energetic German Shepherds, playful Shitzus, and sweet Golden Retrievers!

“MJ is absolutely wonderful! My dog, Mazie, immediately fell in love with her and they’ve become the best of friends after just a few walks. I’m a nurse and gone for 14 hour days, so I have MJ come over for two walks/playtime visits. By the time I get home from work, Mazie is pooped and ready for bed! I love that MJ provides photos of my happy girl and thorough details about her visits. She’ll even play and give treats and love to our cat. It’s evident just how much she loves and cares for animals, regardless of whether they’re her own. I’m so grateful to have found her!!!!”

“Esteban is the best! I was very afraid I would not find anyone to walk Piper as she is strong and slightly dog selective. Also certain dog folks do not want to walk her with a muzzle which is confusing to me, he has no issues with it. Esteban came for a meet and greet and it was a great fit! Piper has come home happy and exhausted! Can’t wait to grow our relationship with him! He’s the best!”

“Daryl and Andrew were wonderful. They were patient, warm, and very caring with our pup Loki. In addition, they were gracious in enabling us to slightly shift pick up time at the last minute. I would highly recommend them.”

“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!”

Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!”


About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.
“My little dog had a great time for a 5 night stay with Hy and Arlo. I was grateful for them responding so quickly to my initial request. We arranged a meet and greet at their home, and my dog was quickly at home in their lovely house and back yard. Hy sent many beautiful pics to me throughout the stay and let me know how he was doing. Really appreciate their care while I was away and I would absolutely book with them again.”

“Joann is so thoughtful and caring. Following our meet and greet, I felt so comfortable leaving my dog, Clementine, with her and will definitely be doing so again! Clementine has some separation anxiety and Joann went above and beyond to keep Clementine comfortable and was understanding of her quirks. Clementine came home very content and I could ask for nothing more. Highly recommend!”

“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”

“Chad was an amazing dog sitter. He was very attentive, responded quickly to my questions and had the perfect amount of space for a playful dog. I would recommend anyone leave their dog with him!”

“My dog had a wonderful time with Diksha during an overnight stay. Diksha was diligent about sending pics and updates and overall very easy to communicate with. She clearly has a deep affection for dogs and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her and wouldn’t to book her in the future.”

“Bibo was amazing! Very communicative and flexible when introducing the dogs before boarding. They provided pictures and updates over the stay, and their pup Mayca was a great host to Kuma!”
