“Sophie did a great job with our 1 year old dog. She was a great communicator with consistent updates and pictures throughout the stay which gave us confidence in her wonderful care of our pup!”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“Nadya is an absolute gem!! Trustworthy, knowledgeable, a great communicator, and easy to work with! She kept us updated and sent photos each day. We were able to enjoy our vacation so much thanks to her incredible care :)”
“We were worried that our Mimi would be very anxious away from us - but she fit right in to Deborah’s home and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was truly cared for. Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.”
“Thank you Tami! You are such a wonderful, helpful and trustworthy dog sitter! Thank you, your husband and son for being so flexible. Poppy is well taken care of in your home! Andrea Dell’Orto”
“Ellen is wonderful! She's great at communication - sending many photos, gives us daily updates and is always on time. Our dog always comes home tired, which is a good thing, as he's a puppy that needs play.”
“Melissa is a great dog friend. The moment my dog Xico, who is very sensitive one, met with her he felt comfortable annd safe. And Archy, her dog is just as adorable as Melissa. Thanks”
“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!”
“Highly recommend Sylvie. My 6-month old Golden Retriever, Bauer, stayed with Sylvie for 5 nights. It was my first time leaving Bauer, so I was definitely nervous. I appreciated meeting Sylvie in-person prior to dropping Bauer off. Sylvie sent a lot of pictures throughout Bauer's stay, showing them hiking and playing outside with other dogs, which made me feel comfortable knowing that Bauer was in good hands. My husband and I also had our flight cancelled and could not fly back until the next day. Of course my first concern was Bauer, but Sylvie was quick to respond and flexible to keep him for another night which we greatly appreciated! Thanks Sylvie!”
“Bianca was so kind and responsive, took great care of Aspen and always kept me updated. I would recommend her to anyone and would also be happy to have Aspen stay with her again anytime. Thank you!”
“My dog Zazu had a great time with Ashish! Great communication and lots of pictures of my dog having fun. Would definitely recommend Ashish and will continue to bring my pets in the future!”
“Julie and Adam were wonderful! They are so sweet and embraced all of Murphs quirks. I felt so confident leaving him, as he was immediately comfortable with them and in their home. They sent lots of photos and gave updates. I would absolutely reach out to them the next time I need a sitter. I’m so happy I found them!”
“Derek and solip were amazing! They helped me when I was in a bind visiting SF and a previously booked sitter canceled. Bruno had lots of fun with their dog and I loved getting updates. Hope to meet them again when Bruno and I visit the west coast!”
“Our dogs loved it at Alex and Bri's home. The pups are usually anxious when we leave but they made themselves right at home. They loved the new grass put in their large backyard, found their favorite spot on their couch and got plenty of snuggles. We were updated constantly with plenty of pictures which assured us that they were being very well taken care of. We booked our next stay with them before we even picked them up. I highly recommend Alex and Bri!”

“Great communication, friendly, very patient with my shy dog who required coaxing out of his crate initially but was getting belly rubs by the end of the visit. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I’ve had cats of my own for over 10 years and have provided care for many others through pet sitting. I’m familiar with a wide range of cat temperaments — from shy, low-maintenance cats to attention-loving, high-energy ones. I understand how to handle feeding routines, litter box care, medication (if needed), and how to respect a cat’s space while still giving them love and attention. I'm always happy to send daily updates and photos.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our two cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear that Abby has a genuine love for animals. Abby kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. We have worked with Abby a few times this year and will absolutely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“Anne took wonderful care of my cat Owen while I was on vacation, so I was able to fully enjoy my time away. Great communication, consistency & picture updates. I will definitely have Anne watch Owen in the future. 💓”
“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”
“So grateful! This was my first time using Rover and I am thrilled with the match. Kathryn was awesome and took great care of our kitten. Our kitten was happy and very relaxed and this made for an easy transition. Kathryn kept us up to date with sweet pics which made it even easier to enjoy the trip and not worry at all about a thing. Kathryn also took wonderful care of our house. She even noticed some of our plants needed water and offered to take care of that. Very much looking forward to working with Kathryn again and Peanut has made a fast new friend.”
About: I also love taking care of cats if you need your kitty to be fed, checked on, and loved while you are away. My sister was allergic to cats growing up and we never had one so I’m getting all the time I can in now- and I found I really enjoy cats and their different personalities!
“Maya was an efficient and responsive carer for our two cats. We returned after a week away to very clean and well-maintained pet areas, and two happy cats. What more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend her!”
“Great experience. Jennifer was the perfect sitter for our family (cat). She is attentive, kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We hit it off quickly. She is easy going, and genuinely loves what she does. I will definitely book again.”
“Trisha was lovely to work with. Her professionalism and care for our cat exceeded all expectations! She went the extra mile and really connected with our little guy when we were out of town. She sent updates and photos every check in. We were so happy to have found Trisha and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful, kind and caring pet-sitter.”
“Meghan did a fantastic job with our pets - couldn’t be happier with her prompt amd professional communication and responsiveness. She watched our dog and cat and did walks everyday etc. thanks!”
About: I have cared for many pets in my life (a dog, cat, tortoise, 4 birds, 2 fish, and 9 hamsters to be exact) so my love for animals is a huge part of who I am! I currently live with my Ragdoll cat, Myko, and he is my bestie. I have taught him tricks, we go for walks on his leash or in his stroller, and we start and end every day with playtime. Giving animals beautiful experiences in their life and filling their days with love is so important to me, and I would love to meet and care for your furry loved ones as well! I love to go for walks and spend time with animals, so wherever I can fit in some time with your pet I am willing! I am very attentive to your pet's specific needs such as a specific diet, certain toys they may love, a certain park they want to run around in, or certain tricks they need to practice for that yummy treat! Your pet's safety and happiness is always top priority!
“Kelly took great care of our cats while we were away! We have two elderly cats, one of whom has medications administered daily, and we felt very confident leaving them in Kelly's hands for over a week.”
“My crew absolutely loved Sharon and her positive energy. The photos she sent were pronominal, the communication was great. We will be hiring her again. Alsó appreciated her attention to detail when learning all the different routines and behavior patterns with my little ones. Thank you.”
About: Animals have always been an immovable part of my life. I grew up on a small goat farm in northern california surrounded by llamas, ducks, geese, 3 beautiful cats, 6 dogs, and of course, goats. Through life on a farm, I have developed an immense love of all creatures, furred, feathered, and scaled. I have also had lots of experience caring for sick and injured animals. I have volunteered with both wild animals rescues, and the humane society. I'm currently in school, so my schedule allows me time in both the mornings and evenings to spend time with your wonderful pets. My weekends are also free. House sitting is my specialty as I do not have too many pet responsibilities at home, giving me more time at yours! I’ve grown up around big dogs, old dogs and cats, and special needs animals, so i’m used to an array of care requirements. I love to walk dogs and cats, as well as visit the dog park as many times as they ask. Safety is number one while you’re out of town, so I will follow your guidelines/routine like the script for my big-break broadway audition. Please feel more than free to message me with questions prior to booking. Photo updates are also included in my services :)
“Last time we went away, we used a non-professional catsitter who , due to a family emergency, was only able to visit once in 4 days. This time, we loved getting photos of our cat weaving her way between Em's legs, nuzzling her face, etc. during twice-a-day visits. We were so glad to know that our kitty was fed and watered and that she had used her litterbox and it was not filthy (the rest of the house was quite dirty and messy, and we are very sorry about that and grateful that our catsitter fulfilled her obligation despite that). Thank you so much, Emily!”

“Nadya was so kind and took great care of our puppy, sending photos and videos throughout his stay. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we’re in town and need someone to take care of Appa for the day! Thank you, Nadya!”
“Lori and Frank were incredibly warm to me and my dog! They welcomed him with open arms and gave him so much love - I was able to happily be without him knowing he was in great hands with Lori and Frank. They loved his idiosyncrasies and did everything they could to make my dog comfy - he can’t wait to go back and I will definitely use Lori and Frank regularly!”
“We were very fortunate to find Sophie. This was the first time we’ve left Pip with someone else for the day. Spending the day with Sophie and her sweet dog Holly in her lovely home was like a dream play date for Pip. We had no worries whatsoever. If the little guy could talk, I think he would be asking to go back to Sophie and Holly’s house.”
“I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!”
“Thanks marissa, I was able to work all day and not worry about my pup being taken care of, especially on a holiday. She was quick to respond and I appreciated her positive attitude. I definitely would use her again.”
“We entrusted our 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Daisy, to Susannah’s care, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Daisy has special needs, but Susannah’s calm and welcoming atmosphere immediately put her at ease. Daisy was well cared for and seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Being able to leave her in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our day out without any worries. We highly recommend Susannah for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Susana is an expert at taking care of dogs! She was so kind and sweet with our nervous dog, and helped him feel comfortable right away. Her home is set up to be a dog paradise, with lots of room for dogs to play and relax safely both indoors and out. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Great experience! Lily had an awesome time with Sylvie and her family. They took her on a 2-hour walk and she got to spend a lot of time sniffing around their backyard! Sylvie is very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back for another stay soon!”
“Amber was great! She took the trouble to come over for a "meet and greet" with Leo and Bailey the day before her job, which not only established a relationship in advance but gave us a chance to discuss the drill with them in unrushed fashion, ahead of time. Amber has a great chill way with dogs and is a reliable and cheerful person to work with. Would definitely use again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly. I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard. I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).
About: Hi! I’m a big dog lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for dogs and making them feel happy and safe. I know how special our pets are and how important it is to leave them with someone who will treat them with patience, kindness, and love. I have over two years of experience caring for my own dog, which has taught me how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. My home is calm, loving, and a place where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I will make sure your dog receives lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel at home. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I also like to send photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel peaceful knowing they are being well cared for. Trabajo desde casa y vivo en un hogar tranquilo y lleno de cariño con un patio grande donde los peluditos pueden correr, jugar o simplemente relajarse al sol. Mi perro es muy dulce y amigable y le encanta tener otros perritos cerca. Trato a cada peludito como parte de la familia y me aseguro de que se sientan queridos, seguros y cómodos durante su estadía. I work from home, so I get to spend a lot of time with furry friends and give them plenty of attention, love, and playtime during the day. I enjoy having them around, going outside with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I try to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and at home.
“Guillermo was so helpful and great to work with! He answered all my messages right away and was very thoughtful about asking questions to make sure my nervous dog would feel as comfortable as possible. Really appreciate his help with doggy daycare so my pup didn't have to be home alone!”
About: I was raised in a home full of dogs and cats. We took in any and all strays. Even had a pet duck that lived to be 12 years old. I have bottle fed puppies that the mom dog was too spoiled to care for and my English Bulldog taught me so much about how to deal with a dog with medical challenges. I'm patient and kind. I'm currently working as an assistant TK teacher and I only work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. My apt is safe and I can take them on neighborhood walks or hikes. I'm fully capable of taking care of dogs or cats in my home or yours.
“Christine did a great job with our 8 month old puppy. She had him for 2 days and 1 night and even worked on some training and commands with him while we were away. He seemed happy and tired from all the play and training when we got him back!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, and always loved animals. I just lost my dog Jessie, and love to spend more time with other dogs. I’m home a lot and love to take care of other dogs. Weekends I’m home, and have time to take dogs to the park for play or a long hike. I’m home also after 4:30 pm most days. I’m a school teacher and have summers off. I’ll be home full time from June 14 through August 12. I live in Marin in a condo which has a balcony, close to great trails, and in a wonderful and quiet Neighborhood. Love to spend time in nature.

About: I co-owned two dogs with my neighbor as a child. My jobs was to walk and feed them. The first was a Saint Bernard who "decided" he wanted more space and fresh air and moved to the country. Later came a Golden lab. Then, we had milking goats, chickens, emus and rabbits... I have 2 cats I love dearly. They love walking around the yard showing me their favorite finds; usually it's a whole of some kind. I walk a lot on my own a Marin and can talk your furry well-behaved pet around your neighborhood and beyond. I am very dependable, always on time (unless major accident happens) and love all furry friends like my own pets. Available most days and/or week-ends between 8 AM and 9 PM for in home visits or dog or cat walking. Some cats like to go on walks too! Safety and the good physical and emotional health of your pet(s) are my priority. I will follow your health guidelines carefully and provide clean water upon each visit.
“Ariela was so communicative and easy to work with! We will definitely book her again. She was very responsive and was flexible with meet and greets. She is reliable, flexible, and has a warm energy.”
“We ABSOLUTELY recommend Emily!! She was communicative, dependable, and gave our Luna such great care! She was consistent, kind, and helped our 1yr old dog, who can be a handful, gain confidence and build on her manners while walking on leash. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was getting great care while I was away! Thank you!”

“Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!”
About: Does your furbaby need extra love and special attention while you are away? I am happy to help care for your furbabies with lots of love, adventures, and yes even training. I can ease both you and your furbaby’s anxiety by staying with them in their home and checking in with you regularly with photos and videos. Boarding your furbaby elsewhere is very stressful for them, especially considering the limited amount of care and physical activity. I will give them all the love and attention that they need and take them on adventures around the neighborhood (with your permission); it really helps to refocus and calm them down. Let's make sure your furbabies are as happy and comfortable as possible while you're away. I also provide basic training and understand common behavioral issues such as reactivity and separation anxiety. I love working with puppies, helping to socialize them and teach recall is critical at a young age. Be sure to tell me all about your pet's quirks and needs so that I can help. I have over 10 years of professional pet-care experience, plus I have cared for many types of animals. I took some time off from petsitting when I took on the full-time responsibility of caring for an elder dog. Our family’s Siberian Husky, Skye, was truly the best companion and adventure buddy. She lived a happy, active life for 16 years! She is dearly missed and will furever be with me in spirit. Now I am getting back into professional pet-care and I look forward to making many new friends, caring for your furbabies as tho they were my own. I work mostly remotely from home so I have the ability to stay with your furbaby in their home and give them the attention they need. When I am housesitting, I am also taking care of your home. I'll bring in the mail and water the plants. I always clean-up after myself and your pets before I leave so that you can come back home to a clean and comfy space. Just let me know whatever lil things you need help with while you're away. Happy to help!
About: Having 2 dogs of my own I am well versed in every aspect of making pets feel loved and cared for! I have cared for pets for nearly 8 years house sitting overnight, taking pups for lengthy walks and doing check ins/ feedings. I make it my mission to bond with your pet and make sure they are comfortable. I am available for pet sitting when I am home from college. My schedule is mostly flexible with majority of my availability being in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I make sure that pets have the chance to warm up to me and that I put their needs first. I am comfortable with judging when a dog wants to go for a longer walk or head home early. Similarly with cats, I am able to gauge if a cat needs extra play time or if they want to be alone to nap. I will always check in with you as the owner before I sit, to make sure I know exactly what your pet needs!
About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

About: I love being around these animals as they give so much. My family and I have raised 6 guide dog puppies annd three breeders, over the last 14 years. Right now I help take care of 3 dogs who have been or are still working for Guide Dogs for the Blind. I have multiple days a week free and would like to take care of more animals.

I am currently on a sabbatical so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I am available weekends, evenings, and mornings. I am available for long-term arrangements.

Either way I am a very attentive caretaker.
About: I adopted my first cat in 2018, and have been obsessed ever since. I currently have two cats, Mac and Marty, and they are my best friends. Since owning cats, I have been dedicated to educating myself about how to keep them happy, healthy, and feeling secure in their environment. I know to be extremely patient with cats, to let them set the rules and boundaries for how they want to interact with you, and to look out for changes in behavior that can act as subtle but very important health indicators. I also know that cats require a lot of attention, different kinds of enrichment, and a high level of care. I work from home full-time, so I am available most weekdays after 5pm and all day on weekends. I have flexibility within the day as well, depending on the length of a home visit. Demonstrating a high level of care for your home and pets is extremely important to me (I respect no-shoes-inside policies). I'm happy to adjust to you and your pets needs to make sure I am providing the highest level of service that I can.

Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away.

“Ellen is wonderful! She's great at communication - sending many photos, gives us daily updates and is always on time. Our dog always comes home tired, which is a good thing, as he's a puppy that needs play.”
“Highly recommend Sylvie. My 6-month old Golden Retriever, Bauer, stayed with Sylvie for 5 nights. It was my first time leaving Bauer, so I was definitely nervous. I appreciated meeting Sylvie in-person prior to dropping Bauer off. Sylvie sent a lot of pictures throughout Bauer's stay, showing them hiking and playing outside with other dogs, which made me feel comfortable knowing that Bauer was in good hands. My husband and I also had our flight cancelled and could not fly back until the next day. Of course my first concern was Bauer, but Sylvie was quick to respond and flexible to keep him for another night which we greatly appreciated! Thanks Sylvie!”
“Bianca was so kind and responsive, took great care of Aspen and always kept me updated. I would recommend her to anyone and would also be happy to have Aspen stay with her again anytime. Thank you!”
“Julie and Adam were wonderful! They are so sweet and embraced all of Murphs quirks. I felt so confident leaving him, as he was immediately comfortable with them and in their home. They sent lots of photos and gave updates. I would absolutely reach out to them the next time I need a sitter. I’m so happy I found them!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
About: Hello! I have cared for animals of every kind since I was able to hold a leash, brush a cat, and collect chicken eggs. I'm a Mill Valley mom, educator, and current owner of two sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I have owned cats, dogs, chickens, rodents and birds. I keep bees as an active beekeeper. I am experienced with medically fragile animals and am comfortable giving all meds, including subcutaneous fluids. I have fostered for years with Marin Humane and Milo as well as professionally pet sitting through Trusted House Sitters and Home Exchange in addition to Rover. My home is warm, safe, child and animal friendly. My yard is fenced and my children (ages 8 and 14) love share in the caring of animals. We all care deeply about animals and will give yours all the love they need. We would love to have your dogs join our pack for awhile! I am an educator and off for the summer. I have plenty of time to care for your pets along with my own. My kids and I stay local and have adventures and relaxing downtime all summer long. I have a large, fenced yard that includes hill side. My house is warm, cozy, pet and kid friendly. My dogs sleep on my bed and I'm fine if yours want to also. We love neighborhood walks and throwing balls in the backyard.
“Truly don’t know what we’d do without Sam. Her home is our dog’s favorite spot, and she always keeps us updated with cute photos, videos, and kind things to say about our dog.”
“As always, Sonia was fantastic with our pup, Kushi! She’s super communicative and sends regular photo updates (which is great when we’re missing our girl). Kushi is always so excited to board with her!”
“Alina took very good care of our dog Philo for a weekend. She was highly responsive ahead of and during Philo’s stay, which we appreciated. Thank you!”
“Jesse was incredible with my pup! He was so flexible to meet us at a nearby park where my dog was most comfortable. He was so patient to learn about her personality and needs. He kindly did not book other dogs while my dog was staying with him as I had requested. My dog has a decent amount of energy, and I was so happy that Jesse would take her running and hiking. She had the best time, I knew she was in good hands, and I would absolutely book Jesse again.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.
“Adriana was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Raffie! We received lots of daily updates and cute photos. Raffie loved all her walks and snuggles. We couldn’t be happier with the care she received and we will definitely be booking with Adriana again!”
“Rosa and Kevin were wonderful! They were super responsive, easy to communicate with and took such good care of our pups. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were traveling!”
