“Rob was amazing with our fur baby Uni!!! He was very easy to communicate with, gave updates with pictures, and is trustworthy and friendly. Our Uni had an amazing time!! I would definitely recommend Rob and look forward to using him again in the future!”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Charlie was in great hands with Michelle again. We had a much longer boarding stay booked but due to a family emergency had to cut it short, and Michelle was so understanding and accommodating. Charlie is looking forward to her next stay.”
“Awesome! She wore my puppy out and she was so happy when I picked her up. Her two dogs are also super sweet and Ruthy does an excellent job with all the dogs she sits! definitely an awesome sitter!”
“Mariola provided a kind a loving home for our dogs’ first overnight with her. She also provided us with some useful insights into their behavior. She was a clear and easy communicator throughout the process.”
“Maia was a wonderful sitter - super communicative and caring! She sent multiple updates and photos while we were away and went way above and beyond in making sure Lula had enough exercise and playtime! I highly recommend her!”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“Amy was a fantastic cat sitter! She took such good care of our boy and always kept me updated with cute pictures. He was so happy and relaxed when he came home so I know he had a great time!”
“They were great! I had a last min sitter cancellation and Derek & Solip were so accomodating and responded quickly! My pup was happy when I picked him up and I could tell he was well cared for! Could not ask for more this last min!”
“Zach did such a great job caring for Sunny. Our dog was immediately comfortable at his home and made fast friends with his small, friendly pup. Zach kept in daily contact with pictures and videos so we always knew Sunny was having a fun time. We will absolutely rebook! Thanks Zach!”
“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!”
“Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.”
“I had a very positive experience with Chen boarding my pup Bernie for a few days. Bernie is a well behaved dog, but he has a few needs that Chen took on willingly. He also took the time to meet with me and Bernie ahead to make sure all his needs were understood. It is clear to me that Chen loves pets and treats them with care. He sent me many updates reflecting his attention to Bernie's comfort and sense of feeling at home and with family. He also sent many stellar photos. Chen has a real talent there and I think also shows his adoration of the pets he cares for. Chen and his family were kind and warm to me and to Bernie and I reccomend him for you.”
“Van Joseph and Matthew were fabulous dog sitters. They treated our dog like one of their own and gave her lots of attention. They were very communicative, sending frequent photo and video updates. We recommend them highly and will book with them again.”
“Jake was so good with Luffy! Luffy loves Jake and was excited to go to daycare. This was my 2nd boarding and I felt reassured that Luffy was in good hands. Jake sent me lots of updates and the cutest pictures of Luffy. I personally would’ve loved some more , but I totally understand that it’s hard to remember when taking care of other dogs as well. Luffy had so much fun he slept the moment he got home!”
“Patrick watched our dog, Tofu, for 2 days and one night. We were able to text and get instant responses as to how Tofu was doing. Patrick frequently sent us pictures and videos of Tofu playing with his dog, Sophie. He was very detailed in his responses and extremely flexible to our last-minute boarding request. Thank you Patrick for treating our Tofu like one of yours and we'll see you again soon!”
“Anchisa and her partner were great dog sitters! They were very flexible and communicative and it seemed like Scampi enjoyed her time there. She also sent some great pics!”
“Sara and Evan took such amazing care of our 7 month old puppy!! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they sent us regular updates and photos (great photography skills too!) and made our trip relaxing as we knew he was having the best time. We will definitely be booking them again!”

“We hired Jasmine to drop by and care for our cat Sparky while we were out of town for a few weeks. Even though it was on short notice, she was quick to respond, and setting things up was seamless. She stopped by every day without fail and sent us update pictures showing Sparky was happy and eating. Sparky also seemed to quickly take a liking to her, which isn't always the case as she can be a bit skittish. Would definitely hire again!”
“I recently moved to the area and have been seeking a new sitter for my cats that I can really count on and feel at ease when I'm away. Emilia delivered 1000%. Excellent communication from a very start, she's got a really lovely, calm energy, my cats immediately took to her during the meet and greet, and I felt so at ease while I was away. One of my cats has a little bit of a special behavioral need and she was very accommodating and understanding of that and I'm just very grateful to have found her. Would not hesitate to use her again for all of my time away from my babies. Daily updates showed that my cats were very happy and content, and one of them seems more attached to her than he is to me lol. Thank you so much, Emilia!”
“Jensine was soo great with our kitties!! Usually when we come home from a trip one of our cats hides under the bed for a while in protest but this time she was perfectly happy when we got home! we know they had a good time with her. We could tell she was super organized and tidy while here. Looking forward to booking again 🩷”
“Sandra was absolutely fantastic caring for my older cats who need lots of attention. She was incredible with communication and arrived on time through two separate bookings. She is very consistent! My two cats were very comfortable with her and seemed to be excited to see her when she would arrive. I highly recommend.”
“This is the second time Christine has looked after my young kitty Mystery. She is very responsible and a great communicator. I know Mystery is getting great care and love with Christine! Thank you!”
“Shirley is incredible and dependable! We’ve used her numerous times and she always goes the extra mile for us. We feel safe and secure knowing she’s looking out for our pet and home”
“If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.”
“Marian was amazing with my senior cat, Wendy! She sent me detailed and delightful updates for every visit, and was very responsive. Wendy recently had surgery, and Marian was also great at giving Wendy her post-op meds. I'd definitely recommend her as a petsitter!”
“Reliable, kind, and amazing with our cat. Liwei followed all instructions, sent updates and pictures, and left everything spotless. Our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Rich was a great find for us, he opened up his calendar for our last minute need to watch two kitties, also fed our fish and gave us adorable updates with every visit. Very friendly, easy to get along with and instantly gives you comfortable to leave my treasured pets with kind of feel. Highly recommend!”
“Ruby accepted our last minute request and was very attentive to our cats, giving them great playtime and affection! Ruby was incredibly responsive, and flexible with our scheduling needs. Highly recommend!”
“Zoe did a great job with my dog Theo, who can be a bit quirky especially around other dogs. She brought her own dog to meet him, and said they did great! She was easy to communicate with and sent great pics. Would trust her with Theo again anytime!”
“Michaela is great with our cats and is very responsible and communicative. She has helped us out many times. We love that our cats are well taken care of when we away. Highly recommend:)”
“Shelly was fantastic! Kitty was unhappy after a recent minor surgery and had to wear a cone to prevent her from licking her stitches. Shelly was still able to administer meds and left with kitty purring! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation thanks to Shelly’s good work. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jennifer was fantastic and personable. She responded immediately to help get on the same page. I feel like checking in on our cats and making sure they had food and water probably isn’t the most intensive gig, but it required more back and forth than I would have guessed. She easily adapted to what we wanted and our texts back and forth were easy and humorous like we’d known each other already. She went above our admittedly pretty simple requests best of all, our sometimes standoffish cats seemed to be at ease with her from the photos she sent daily. Would absolutely book her again.”
“Lauren was an incredible sitter for our cat. She was so caring and took real attention to detail for our cats needs. We really appreciate her updates each time she made a visit. We would highly recommend and would definitely want her to look after our cat again! Thank so much, Lauren!”
“Tia was fabulous! Great communication and paid attention to all of my (perhaps gratuitous at times) instructions. My cat is often shy with folks but seemed to warm up to her almost immediately, which— I think— speaks volumes.”

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“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!”
“Chrystal was very receptive and understanding of the needs for my old husky girl. Actually, she confirmed that my dog was very sweet with people, mainly herself and her family. Crystal was able to work and stay with my dog as I mentioned was desirable as my dog has had separation issues. It looks like my dog was taken very good care of and I appreciate it.”
“Huey loves going to Ruthy's! He always walks into her place confidently. She takes the dogs to the park at least twice a day, works on training, cuddles with him and socializes him with other people. I'm SO lucky to have found her! She treats Huey like he's her own. Thank you Ruthy!! ”
“Alison was really nice, and my dog was drawn to her right away at our meet and greet. She was really understanding with me as a first time app user, and made me feel safe about leaving my dog with a stranger for the first time. She handled my dogs separation anxiety really well and sent me updates so I wouldn't worry. I would definitely book again.”

This was our first time having our new dog with a sitter, and Shruti definitely put us at ease from the first moment. We are looking forward to working with Shruti again for sure!”
“michelle and her husband are the best sitters and have been my go-tos ever since i adopted roo over a year ago. roo’s a little anxious but they make her feel comfortable and keep me posted on how she’s doing throughout the day. highly recommend!”
“Thank you for watching our sweet Porky pie. He had such a great time. We love that he gets to have play time with other dogs and so glad he got along so well with Nala. Loved all the great updates while away, it really made my heart happy to see he is well taken care of while we are away. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter. Amazing communication!!! And your pet will be well taken care of.”
“Maya is a wonderful dog sitter & human! She took such good care of my senior dog, especially after I told her about some recent health issues he’s experiencing. She kept a close eye on him, keeping him super safe & keeping me updated throughout the day. Thank you so much Maya, for loving my baby and keeping him safe!”
About: Hello! My name is Shanna (like banana) a non-profit consultant based in the Bay Area. I love animals and have lots of experience caring for pets (cats and dogs) either in your home or at my house. I'm interested in helping you feel peace of mind knowing that your fur friend is taken care of. Please ask me any questions. I'm looking for opportunities that make sense with my schedule, and I'm happy to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your consideration. I'm currently working on a contract basis and primarily remote so I have time to stop by your home or house-sit as long as there is reliable Wi-Fi. Typically, when pet-sitting for friends, I will feed, walk, or change out litter boxes as often as needed. If I am not staying at the owner's home full-time, I will make sure the animal gets sufficient interaction and love daily. If an animal is staying in my home during the day, I have a fenced-in, locked yard (though I generally wouldn't have an animal outside without me) and there is also a dog-friendly park less than two blocks from my home.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, beginning with my childhood growing up on a farm. That early, hands-on exposure taught me the fundamentals of animal care, daily routines, and how to read animal behavior. This transitioned into professional work as a dog trainer at Happy Hound play and daycare in Oakland where I trained and cared for dogs both at the center and on park walks and in home visits. I am able to confidently handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels from puppies needing structure and basic obedience to older dogs requiring a gentle, patient approach. I have a background in housing and caring for animals. I currently share my home with my own pet, Baloo and my housemates pet Bentley my living space is always dog-friendly. I know exactly what it takes to create a safe, enriching, and comforting environment for visiting animals. I can give owners peace of mind while they are away! I am currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility to work around schedules and to setup routines! I also have transportation to travel. I have a fully fenced in yard with two fur babies to keep your doggos safe and entertained! They can lounge outside in the sun or inside.

“Chen and his family all supported my dog at day care and providing top notch care, updates, and photographs of her stay! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great sitters who LOVE dogs and we will absolutely be coming back to see them!”
“My dog baby Maui loved staying with Dylan who was so attentive and doting. My dog has separation anxiety, but he was very comfortable with Dylan at drop off and pick up and from the pictures Dylan shared, and napped happily when we got home. I appreciated the updates and photos, and that we did a meet and greet before the booking to see how Maui got on with Dylan's two cute dogs! Can't wait for Maui to stay with Dylan and his partner and family again!”
“I highly recommend Nathalie. She took excellent care of our senior dog. She is friendly, easy to communicate with, and her place was very clean. Most importantly, it is very evident how much she loves dogs and other animals. We will be contacting her in the future when we need dog sitting again.”

I am very conscientious and considerate of other people's space, and will make sure to keep your house nice and clean! I am very flexible and can adapt and personalize services to meet the needs of you and your pet.

She regularly gives updates and pictures (which always made me smile at work). And not once did she leave any of my messages unanswered.

“I booked Asia at the last minute for a long 6 days stay, and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly responsive and very understanding of my dog’s situation. She was also flexible and patient with my late-hour drop‑off and pick‑up, which I really appreciated. She took such good care of Coquita, and to my surprise, my dog even got along with her dog, which is something that never happens because Coquita usually isn’t friendly with other dogs. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again. She made a stressful, last‑minute situation feel easy and reassuring, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Coquita in her care.”
“This is our 3rd time boarding our furbaby with Jessie, I don't think you could find a better dog sitter than her and Cade and of course Eta too. They are so loving and thoughtful and will do everything they possibly can to ensure your dog is in the most loving hands. If you are looking for someone to spoil your pup while you are away, don't look any further!”
“Donovan was very responsive and great at communicating! He sent updates and followed instructions on supplements and tooth brushing to a tee. My senior chihuahua mix and young pit bull seem like they were well taken care of and entertained!”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Bill is great and I highly recommend him- he has a lot of experience taking care of dogs and did a great job caring for my 10 yo Gemma who has some special needs. He was attentive and also easy to work with. I will definitely use him again.”
