“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”

“Shipra and family were awesome with my Shuri during her stay over a recent long weekend. As it was our first time, we did a quick meet and greet, and I could see they really care for the dogs and prioritize their care. Shipra was forthright with questions, accommodating of my timings and requests, and overall a caring host. She sent me regular pics and updates of Shuri having fun with her family and their sweet pupper Shadow. I could relax during my own vacation knowing Shuri was well cared for. And Shuri came home a tired and happy dog. Couldn't ask for more!”

“Clara was amazing with our elderly Katy. Especially when Katy needed to take insulin shots day and night. Her home has a huge backyard with established trees and was very well maintained with lots of space for Katy either in the sun or shade under a tree. I would definitely book Katy with Clara again as she took great care of her and treated her as one of her own.”
About: Since the time I had my pet for the last 4 years, I can’t disagree to say I secretly love him more than my daughter😁. They are super cute, notorious, kind with those forgiving eyes. It would be fun to have your fur babies playing in my backyard and staying in our house. My daughter loves dogs, my pet is calm but friendly upon his mood and as a team, my family would love to host your fur babies. I am a software engineer by profession and working remotely. I am full time available at home, when the care is needed for the dogs. I have a playpen along with a large dog crate, if separation is needed. Backyard is fenced and is super secure. My daughter and I will walk the dogs.
“Max had a wonderful stay - had so much fun with his new doggie friends. We loved all the photos! Only thing is now we think Max just wants to go back! I thought he would be anxious, but no - he loved his time there and we felt relieved he was being well-cared for and having fun. I know we'll be back soon!”
“She is very kind and caring with our dog. We really appreciated the updates throughout the day, including videos and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely loves and pays attention to the dogs in her care.”
“Sameer is superb. He truly loves and understands dogs and took such good care of our girl. His home and yard are beautiful which reflects a level of care and pride that shows in how he cares for the dogs. He sent photos every day and seemed to really enjoy the time with our dog and a few others he was sitting during the same week. He came highly recommended to us and we will certainly use him again.”
About: I grew up with two Golden Retrievers and learned to take care of them at a young age. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors and friends animals, whether that be staying at their homes or bringing pets into my own home. I love dogs so much and believe they deserve to be protected and respected just as humans are! I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I have tons of free-time to hangout with the pups. My routine is very simple and includes walking my own dog daily! I have a 3 bedroom home that also includes a fenced in backyard for your pup to play outside! I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who gets along well with all breeds and is very mellow.
“Rachel was fantastic! She sent us photos and progress report to keep us informed. Biscuit enjoyed spending time with Daisy and Rachel’s family. She was also very flexible with the scheduling changes that we had to ask for at the last minute. Highly recommended!”
“Megan made our pups feel so at home! She had a great space for dogs and I could tell right off the bat how sweet she would be with them. She sent updates on how they were doing. Drop off and pick up was made easy and I also appreciated her flexibility coming early to get the dogs. We would gladly have Megan watch our fur babies again!”
“Keelin was great to work with. Very prompt communication at every step, and very friendly. She sent us photos multiple times a day and the dogs were clearly happy staying with her family. Thank you!”

“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of.

My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”

“Anne did amazing with my 2 cats. She is so great playing playing with them and genuinely seems to enjoy their company. It is so nice to know my cats are lovingly being taken care of while I am away. Thank you so much!”
About: When I was younger I always thought being a single crazy cat lady was insane until I grew older and realized that is the dream😂 I absolutely adore cats they are definitely my favorite animal in the world. Whether your cat is friendly, shy, or spicy I know how to handle all. My friends call me the cat whisperer whenever we go out and I manage to pet the cat no one can pet. Even though I don’t have my own cat at this moment, I will always treat your cat like my own 😇
About: My name is Noelle and cats are my favorite animal. I have a cat named Gizzy and my parents got her when she was a kitten. I've have caring for pets since my teen years. I’ve taken care of cats for my neighbors for several years and continue to do so today. When I visit I like to do all the chores first, check on the cats to see they are comfortable and safe. I always finish with playtime (favorite part) and affection to keep them happy and relaxed. I let the animals come to me instead of the other way around.
“Christina communicates well setting up and during drop-in visits. I know what is happening in detail. She took good care of my fur babies making sure they had playtime, love and eating well.”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”

As a full time college student, this is the perfect job for me. I have a very pet-sitting friendly schedule. With classes monday-friday 9-1, I have the whole rest of the day to stay in your home and hang out with your pets.

I’m also very active so I will gladly take your dog for a long walk.

I’m more than happy to provide updates, especially for those extended trips!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for cats.

I get out daily for multiple walks in beautiful downtown Pleasanton. I have a small fenced yard and deck that’s open to the dogs all day. Inside the dogs do not need to be crated unless the client prefers. Your animals are treated like family.
“Phenomenally trustworthy and kind pet sitter. Our puppy doesn’t usually like when I’m not around but she was so excited to go see Ying that I’ll probably be moving forward with booking her weekly. Very communicative, responsible, and caring.”
“My Siberian Husky came back very happy and tired from a fun full day! I really appreciated that he got a long walk first thing and had company and play time all day in a safe, clean house. Really gave me peace of mind and helped me out with my after-work evening errands to have a calm tired dog.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pup again, seems she’s warming up to you and the other pups. We appreciate your patience, and helping her work through the nerves. :) You are amazing! I love the continuous updates with photos/ videos! Great to see our girl running and having a good time.”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was young and know how to keep them happy. I dog sit my friends and family’s pets at my home whenever I get the chance. I am free on the weekends and look forward to go on walks and play with Daisy and our guest puppy. On Friday I’m free starting at 3 PM . My 13 and 9 year old daughter and son love to play with dogs. I have a large, fenced, grassy backyard and a doggy door so your dog can play in my yard whenever they want. There are no objects or anything for your dog to step on or eat in my house or backyard - it’s perfectly safe and puppy proofed here!
“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”

“Grace took very good care of Willow and posted frequent updates with pictures. She took her out for multiple walks. Willow looks happy and playful after coming back, so she definitely had a great time with her and her family. Thanks, Grace!”
“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”

“We left our 4 yr old dog with Rachna, and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. He came back happy at the end of the day. She took good care of him. This was first time our dog stayed with another dog and a cat, and they all got along fine. Rachna also sent pictures. Overall, we were very satisfied and happy with her. Will of course use her services again in future. Thanks Rachna.”

About: I currently focus exclusively on dog walking and bring a calm, safety-first approach to every visit. As a nursing student and part-time consultant, I’m used to following instructions closely, paying attention to small details, and communicating clearly — all of which help me provide dependable, thoughtful care. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent plenty of time around dogs through friends and family and genuinely enjoy being around them. I’m mindful of leash control, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level, and I take the time to learn what works best for every individual dog. I always prioritize meet-and-greets so both you and your dog feel comfortable before we get started. During walks, I keep things structured but relaxed — never rushed — with attention to pacing, safety, and the environment. After each walk, you can expect a clear update so you know how everything went. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your dog is in attentive, responsible hands, and for your dog to enjoy a calm, positive walk every time. I currently work part-time remotely and take most of my classes online, which allows me a flexible schedule to provide reliable dog walks throughout the week. On weekdays, I am available in the mornings and early afternoons, and weekends are fully open, allowing for multiple walks if needed. Because of my flexible routine, I can provide consistent, punctual, and attentive walks, always following the owner’s instructions and making sure each dog gets safe, unrushed time outdoors. I plan my schedule carefully to accommodate both pets and owners, and I always leave buffer time between walks to ensure punctuality and reliability. During every dog walk, I prioritize safety, trust, and a controlled environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the dog securely leashed at all times, and stay aware of surroundings, other dogs, and traffic. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, energy level, and comfort, adjusting the pace and distance accordingly. I also communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk, providing updates or photos so they know their dog is safe and happy. I plan walks with buffer time to avoid rushing, and I make sure the dog’s comfort and well-being are the top priority from start to finish.
About: Hi 🐶 & 🐱 parents, My name is Noelle and always love animals. I have been around pets my entire life and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs and a cat, and we still do to this day. I helped feed, walk, play with, and care for our pets from such a young age. My childhood cat is even still with us! I have also cared for my neighbor's pets, providing attention, companionship, and lots of love while their owners were away. One thing, I enjoy taking photos and videos of the pets I care for and sending updates to their owners, so they can feel connected and reassured while they're apart from their furry family members. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. I am currently available and have a flexible schedule. Caring for pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I make time in my daily routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Throughout the week, I also make extra time for longer walks, enrichment activities, and providing updates to pet parents. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to making pet care a regular part of my schedule while giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I like to take care of all responsibilities first, such as feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any other requested tasks. After that, I enjoy spending quality time with the pets through play, companionship, and positive interaction. I do my best to keep each pet's routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and less stressed while their family is away. I carefully follow written instructions and pay close attention to each pet's individual needs. I prefer a calm and patient approach, allowing pets to adjust at their own pace while building trust and helping them feel at ease. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I grew up with big active dogs so I understand their needs and habits including affection, energy, and naughty tricks. I volunteer at an animal shelter so am well versed in a variety of dog breeds and dogs with unique histories. Because I am a grad student, I have the flexibility to be at home with your pet while I study. I have acted as a cat sitter as well and have come to love them too! I do not have experience with new kittens so adult cats preferred please. This summer I am fully at your disposal. I am on summer break between grad school programs. You can expect full time attention to your pets. Will update come fall. Your guidelines are my rules! I am happy to crate your pets, let them roam free, or have them sleep in the bed with me (more common request than you’d think) LOL. If you are local, I am happy to let your pup have some outside off leash time in my own fenced in yard, but I do not board dogs in my own home as I live with family while in grad school. I am happy to stay at your home or if you are local, just swing by for hangouts, walks, and bathroom breaks. If you are outside of Pleasanton, overnight stays at the dog’s home are preferred due to travel time. I am also capable of administering dog medications including pills and oral liquids, just leave me instructions!
About: A Housesitter across North America for several years now, I have built a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and homes . I worked as a dog sitter and walker in NYC for five years, raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old. Then traveled to the West, housesitting my way across the country from VA to CA, OR and CO. I provide daily photo and video updates of your pets and can make framed prints available to order. I have had pets in the home since I was a child, including birds and hamsters as well as cats, kittens and dogs. I am currently looking for summer work, having worked as a Ski Instructor all winter in Arapahoe Basin. When housesitting, it is my principal job and priority. I do not currently offer care for a pet in my home, unless of course, they are happy living and traveling in my Class C motorhome.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !

About: They say to love what you do, right? So I figured, why not make a little extra cash doing something I truly love—because let’s be honest, four kids in ⚽️ isn’t cheap! I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to barnyard friends. These days, I share my home with an Italian Greyhound, two kitties, and my four lovely kids. I’m detail-oriented and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a nice long walk to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air, or some playtime and snuggles, your furry fam will get plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to provide drop-in visits for feedings, playtime, and extra attention. I love making sure your furry fam feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I am detail-oriented and treat everything with respect and care. I follow instructions, leave things tidy, and ensure your furry fam feels loved and safe. I believe in leaving things better than I found them and treating others’ homes and pets the way I would want mine treated.

About: I’ve taken care of the pups since I was fresh out of college. And have had lovable pooches in my household for as long as I can remember. Very patient individual as I teach middle school students, if that doesn’t set me apart I don’t know what will. It’s summer time so looking for any way to have a proactive summer. And taking care of any pet is just an absolute bonus. I try to create a safe environment for all doggos as they deserve to be treated as one of us. My dogs growing up always had a nice fenced in area as they need to be active.

“Fiona and her family took excellent care of Uno when he stayed with them.. they sent plenty of pictures and videos which was very helpful and kept us at ease.. would definitely board him with them again! Thank you!”
“Sameer is superb. He truly loves and understands dogs and took such good care of our girl. His home and yard are beautiful which reflects a level of care and pride that shows in how he cares for the dogs. He sent photos every day and seemed to really enjoy the time with our dog and a few others he was sitting during the same week. He came highly recommended to us and we will certainly use him again.”
About: I grew up with two Golden Retrievers and learned to take care of them at a young age. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors and friends animals, whether that be staying at their homes or bringing pets into my own home. I love dogs so much and believe they deserve to be protected and respected just as humans are! I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I have tons of free-time to hangout with the pups. My routine is very simple and includes walking my own dog daily! I have a 3 bedroom home that also includes a fenced in backyard for your pup to play outside! I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who gets along well with all breeds and is very mellow.
“Rachel was fantastic! She sent us photos and progress report to keep us informed. Biscuit enjoyed spending time with Daisy and Rachel’s family. She was also very flexible with the scheduling changes that we had to ask for at the last minute. Highly recommended!”
“Megan made our pups feel so at home! She had a great space for dogs and I could tell right off the bat how sweet she would be with them. She sent updates on how they were doing. Drop off and pick up was made easy and I also appreciated her flexibility coming early to get the dogs. We would gladly have Megan watch our fur babies again!”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Our dog Marley’s stay with Maya was great! Maya kept us very well informed and sent lots of pictures. Maya was very accommodating and flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We will happily leave Marley in Maya’s care again in the future. 😊🐾”
About: I love helping others, and that extends to both pets and their owners. My goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for while also giving you peace of mind and a stress-free experience 🐶 I’m a part-time Starbucks barista and student with a flexible schedule. I offer boarding Monday–Thursday, along with walks, playtime, and pup cups all week ☕🐾 With a fenced yard for safe play and a calm, cozy home for naps, your pup gets the best of both worlds. I will always supervise and pay close attention!
“Hong and her family took excellent care of our dog Paisley while I was out of town for a few days. She sent pictures, updated me on how she was getting along, gave her the eyedrops I asked her to, took her for walks and made her feel safe and at home. I will definitely rebook her for Paisley ( tiny pug) and our lab Angela in the future.”
“Svetlana always takes amazing care of our Luna! We know that Luna loves staying with her and is treated like part of the family. She sends regular updates and has been extremely accommodating with our schedule.”
“Alyssa was great with my dog! He seemed right at home with her and her family when I picked him up. Alyssa was great with communication and flexible with drop off when my work schedule interfered with our original plan. Will definitely have Alyssa watch my dog if she’s available in the future.”
“Our goldendoodle had a wonderful time with Linh and Torrey! They sent us multiple photos and videos every day and took him to the park to play ball. We appreciated all the media while he was away. We could tell he really enjoyed it there.”
About: I’m a reliable, patient, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, medication, exercise, and maintaining consistent routines. I work remotely, so I’m home and available every day, which lets me easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and check-ins without scheduling conflicts or time limitations. I primarily offer boarding in my home, where pets have a safe, large fenced yard to play and relax. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, routines, exercise, and comfort. Pets get supervised outdoor time, regular attention, and a calm, clean environment so they feel at home while you’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I currently work only 2–3 hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your little one. I’m flexible on weekends as well, which means I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always get my full attention and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“My dog came back very happy and excited after staying with Leena and her dog Prince. Prince was a great playmate and Leena was very accommodating. Leena would send me photos of them playing and relaxing throughout the day. It was very reassuring. I will definitely consider them again in the future.”
