“Mk was amazing! My dog had a great time during the stay, got plenty of attention and playtime. Mk was super attentive, friendly, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and happy. I also got updates throughout the day which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and loving care for their furry friend!”
“This was the first time leaving out 3 fur babies with someone we didn’t know. Emmeline sent us pictures multiple times through each day on our 2 week vacation, and I could tell our dogs seemed relaxed and well cared for. We already have two extra weekends booked with Emmeline. Thank you so much for the wonderful care you provided.”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Allison did a wonderful job watching my kitten, Rory. She provided excellent communication and sent pictures throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitten with her for a weekend.”

Thank you for all the photos and updates as well! I will definitely use Stephanie again!!! Thank you again so much!!”
“Margerita was very accommodating and understanding during the entire stay. I was worried about leaving my dog for the first time, but she communicated well and helped my husband and I ease our mind. My Australian shepherd is an anxious dog, but when I picked her up she seemed very happy and taken care of.

I highly recommend her services, and I will definitely book through her in the future!”

About: I believe taking care of a dog is like taking care of a baby, only with fur. I have 9 plus yrs of experience with dogs. I’ve dog sat for family & friends.

Comfort &calmness is what dogs love most. Feel free to ask me anything. Open availability starting after July 18th 2026, out of country currently. Looking forward to new opportunity employment. I will give great pet care to my best ability upon return and ready to put your pet sitting worries at ease.

I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”

About: I’ve cared for cats for 30 years and understand that each one has their own unique personality. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of their space, whether they’re social and playful or more shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats the attention they want (and space when they don’t). I also have cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I aim to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around pets since I was a little girl. I have two dogs of my own. My oldest, Whiskey, is four years old and my youngest, Milo, is about a year and a half. Whiskey is very much a couch potato and is highly attached to me. Milo is the complete opposite. He has so much energy and doesn’t understand the meaning of relaxation. With Milo, there’s never a dull moment so trust me when I say I have seen it all. I currently work part-time and go to school so pet care works with my availability as my schedule is always changing. I also love animals of all types and so getting to play with puppies and kittens is a dream come true. I don’t currently offer any overnight sittings but I’m hoping once I build a good reputation on this app that I can offer that soon. I have two dogs that are complete opposites of each other so I have learned what works best for both of my animals. My youngest dog needs a lot of walks, attention, and enrichment. I keep plenty of enrichment toys around my house to ensure that he is getting the proper care that he needs. My older dog is a couch potato and it does not take much to keep him happy, as long as he has food, water, and a comfortable space to lay down he’s good to go.
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and understand that each one has a unique personality and routine. I have experience feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, providing playtime and enrichment, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s space, whether they’re social and playful or shy and independent. As a Veterinary Technician student, I’m also expanding my knowledge of feline health and behavior to provide the best care possible.
“Chelsea was very responsive and sent wonderful pictures and videos. Our cat, which warms up to no one. Feel completely in with Chelsea. I highly recommend her ace will be reaching out again when future needs arise”
“I am 100% satisfied with Nadine’s pet care service. My cats Curzon and Jadzia were welcomed and and enjoyed being with her house pets and got along so well with multiple cats. I was so pleased to get daily picture updates and Nadine responded timely to all my text messages. I highly recommend her for cat boarding and genuine pet care.”
“Ashanti is the best! I know my animals will always be well taken care of and well loved when we are away. Our dog has big feelings and energy sometimes and Ashanti is amazing with her. I’m so thankful for her service. Two thumbs up and a waggin tail per usual!”
About: I have cats myself and most of them are special needs. I’ve raised cats and bottle fed kittens for 5+ yrs. If needed I am familiar with medications for cats and can administer them with the owners consent. I can clean litter boxes and am familiar with deep cleaning supplies.
About: I have 11 years of cat care-taking experience! I have two beautiful bonded cats, Luna and Rui. My cats are indoors-only, so I know how to keep kitties who are strictly indoors from ever going outside. I feed my cats on a schedule, 3 times a day, and their food is always measured out, so if your cat's food schedule is similar, I have lots of experience with that. I also ensure all cat litters are cleaned at least once daily to ensure a pristine kitty bathroom! (: I absolutely love cats, and I have experience taking care of my own cats and friend's cats. I can't wait to meet and care for your baby!
“Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!”
About: Hello, I am an animal lover with a pretty flexible schedule and a heart full of compassion. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I am present and fun and guarantee your fur babies will love their time with me! I enjoy spending time with animals and playing outdoors with them for long and short periods of time and also understand dogs have emotions just like people and need love just the same. I truly believe your pets will enjoy their time with me and will be very well taken care of while in my care. I understand how stressful vacation planning can already be and look forward to helping out with your fur babies in anyway possible. Talk to you soon! I’m currently working part-time (school hours) and have plenty of time to play and care for your pets after work.

As for the month of June I am available after 1pm and completely available for the month of July. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them time to explore the outdoors. I am patient and am able to keep up with high energy pets as well. I use baby gates in my home for safety and access.
“Brittany took care of Patches as if she were her own fur baby! Brittany went above and beyond when Patches was struggling due to my extended trip. When I returned home, Patches was very calm and content as a direct result of Brittany's care!”
“Melissa is a nice care giver! She would meet me 1 day before the walk starts to know Zoy and learn everything needs to know about Zoy. During the stay, she always keep the communication channel open and responds in no delay. We experienced the hottest weather in Bay Area, Mellisa make sure the fan is on max speed and air flows as well as leave plenty water for Zoy. Also provides professional observation and updated to me on how Zoy took the heat!! I was on business travel and she really took care of Zoy and eased on my worrisome mind. Highly recommend her!! Thank you Mellisa!!”

“She was able to take on my last minute request , thankfully because she works from home. I really appreciate the flexibility for my literal last minute request. We appreciate her working around our late night pick up. She was nice enough to communicate and coordinate with me around her kid’s evening activities, which I appreciate a lot given the fact that I ended up being late for my original pick up time.”

About: Hello! My name is Patricia and I love dogs! I have a 6-year-old Corgi, and when dogs stay at my house, they are treated as my own. We have a big fenced-in backyard, complete with a dog agility course! We love to go on walks in our neighborhood and on the Virginia Trail. Sometimes we will stop at Yogurt Mill for a pup-yo! I also have plenty of treat puzzle toys to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated throughout the day. I only watch dogs from one family at a time, so you know your pup will be getting lots of attention from me. REQUIREMENTS: In order to stay with us, your dog must be crate trained and must be able to demonstrate some basic obedience commands (for example: sit-stay, down-stay, place, on-leash heel, and recall).

I have a fully fenced in yard and air conditioning indoors for hot days. I always provide plenty of fresh ice water, and I will always keep your pup on a leash when going for walks outside the backyard.

Always lock the doors, and make sure I don't step outside without the key incase I get locked out. Providing pets with food and fresh water. Administering medication to pets according to the instructions provided by pet owners. Cleaning out litter boxes and crates. We do prefer the animal to have a crate we can put them in or we can provide one too.

She wasn’t irritated at all although my furry buddy was already going potty as soon as he came through the gate! I LOVE the livestreaming! I kind of wish it was going on all day, just so I could check in every hour and just see how he is there since it’s so new. But we loved it. He came home worn out from playing. Thanks Diane!”

A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates. They get treats throughout the day and a dinner before bed. Then if they want to sleep on the bed with me they can otherwise there's thick blankets on the floor near me.
About: I've had animals all my life, big, small and all species. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets keeping them happy and safe, while they were away. I have been caring for client pets in a professional manner for about 2 1/2 to 3 years and continue to do so everyday! I have lots of pets of my own that are fed every morning and night as well as taken out for exercise as much as I possibly can. I have experience working as a kennel attendant, some background in vet tech (no degree) and I have been a pet sitter for about 2 1/2 years. I have recently opened up my availability to accept more clients and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I like to make sure your pet gets all the exercise they need so they aren’t super wound up by the time you get home! Treats are always giving if allowed and lots of attention of course. For house sittings, I also include plant watering services, making sure mail and packages are brought in and that the house is clean before you get home!
“Mirella was wonderful! She was so sweet and attentive with my Biggie! She gave him a lot of verbal feedback and praise, which Biggie responds well to. We hope to go on many more walks with Mirella ?”
About: I know how important dogs need to be walked . And they need to be able to go outside as well. And just my love for dogs is remarkable. I also went to school for vet assistant. I would like to gain more experience with taking care of animals with this on the side would be awsome.. I love all dogs. My fave is yorkies. And I treat each pet like it is my own. I have had dogs all my life.. My parents have about 6 to 7 dogs at a time.. We had a rabbit, chickens, ducks, cats, pot belly big, fish, koi fish, tortise. You name it I just love being around all types of animals. Dogs are more my favorite. Depending on the dog also depends on what activities we will do. Go to the park out here and walk the track, play ball or frisbee.
About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs whenever they go out so I can be trusted to feed, play, and spend time with yours too. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time throughout the week. What better way to spend it than to be playing and caring for your pets while you are gone. I will make sure to always have them feed at their hours, spend time with them, play, interact and always make sure they feel comfortable in a safe environment.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.

“Mk was amazing! My dog had a great time during the stay, got plenty of attention and playtime. Mk was super attentive, friendly, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and happy. I also got updates throughout the day which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and loving care for their furry friend!”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

Thank you for all the photos and updates as well! I will definitely use Stephanie again!!! Thank you again so much!!”

I will give great pet care to my best ability upon return and ready to put your pet sitting worries at ease. At this time, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding or house sitting in my home because I currently live with family. However, I’d still love to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare (if applicable), and pet sitting in your home during the day. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Being attentive. Having a routine is what I believe pets thrive on to be an obedient. I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”

I am currently a student at MJC, so my schedule is busy in mornings but avalaible after my classes. I will make my time avalaible devoted on what is needed for the dog. I have a beautiful neighborhood perfect for walking a dog. My house is safe with no where for the dog to run away or harm itself.
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
