“By far Anika is the best sitter for our fur baby!! We have used her for daycare and boarding and each time we are happy with our decision and Max LOVES going over there. We are so glad we found Anika!!”
“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”
“The perfect choice! Lilian was pleasant from beginning to end and willing to answer any questions we have! The updates on our pup were truly appreciated! We would certainly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”
“So glad to have found Megan to watch my dog, Freya! Megan sent pictures & video of Freya having a great time. I could tell Freya was comfortable right away at our meet & greet & looked so happy when I picked her up. Megan is so friendly and patient, can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of my baby! 😊”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
“Dasia was fantastic again! It’s so great to find someone you feel comfortable to watch your pet. Dasia provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was amazing.”
“Tanita and Terrence took amazing care of our dog Skye. It was her first long stay away from us. We felt reassured with the pictures and updates they sent us throughout Skye’s stay. They were very kind, accommodating and attentive to our needs. I wanted to keep this review a secret so they don’t book up! We will certainly be trusting them to watch our pup again! Thanks Tanita and Terrence for your care!”
“Erwin V. provided boarding services after we were informed that his primary caregiver would not be available. Erwin V. was very professional and provided superior service for the week that we were away. Although our dog experienced separation anxiety, Erwin V. gave him the attention and care that he needed. Erwin V. was also kind enough to allow our dog to be dropped off a day earlier at no charge.”
“My dog Kiwi loved spending time at Auntie Kelly’s house. Beautiful family with lots of love to give to pups. Will definitely rebook. Thank you guys for taking great care of my girl!”
“.Kelly was an absolute professional and a true dog lover. In just one stay, she managed to form a remarkable bond with my very skittish dog, Loki—a feat that not many people can accomplish. Her genuine care and compassion for the dogs in her care are evident in everything she does. Kelly goes above and beyond to ensure every dog feels loved, safe, and completely at home. From the smallest details to the extra mile she puts in, her dedication is unmatched. It's clear that taking care of dogs isn't just a job for Kelly; it's her passion. Thanks to her efforts, I felt completely at ease knowing my furry companion was in the best possible hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have my dogs stay with her again in the future. In fact, I’ll enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their beloved pets. Kelly is simply exceptional! 💜”
“Vanessa & Gio were warm and welcoming. My fur baby, Blaze received exceptional care from them for the 5 days he spent with them. They are very attentive and followed my long list of daily instructions. I received daily updates with either video or pictures of Blaze which is important to my family. I will definitely use Vanessa & Gio for my future boarding needs.”
“Thanks, Dana!! My fur baby was well cared for during my vacation. Also, I really appreciate your flexibility to accommodate my unexpected travel delays. Jax looks forward to visiting again.”

“John was fantastic! He kept us updated on what was going on at home and sent us pictures of the pets each day. He made sure the cats and Guiana pig didn’t miss a step in their routine while we were out of town. Fantastic experience! We will use him again.”
“She took excellent care of our chickens while we were away. She was always prompt and on time, and it was clear that she was experienced with chicken care. Our chickens can be easily startled, but she handled them well and everything went smoothly. She did a great job cleaning the coop and kept us updated throughout our trip. She was also quick to respond to any questions we had and communicated very well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable chicken care, and I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I have two kitty boys myself. My cat Rona, featured in the picture above, is my hiking boy. His longest hike has been 3 miles. He is incredible and incredibly sassy, of course. I'd love the opportunity to care for your feline friends!
“Amber was great. She gave me a time that would work for her because she couldn’t do my time and turns out that worked too. I’m a dummy and thought I updated my address so it sent her to the wrong house and she still went to my right address to leave the pups out. Luna and Kallie look like they had a great time and can definitely trust her with my girls!”
“Another great experience with Ben! He’s consistent, reliable, and takes such good care of our two senior kitties. Such a relief to know they are well cared for while we are away- all thanks to Ben!”
“Sam is the best! They actually spend time at the house when they do drop ins and play with our pets. We have used them twice and the first time was very last minute and they were able to accommodate us. We trust them 100%. We highly recommend Sam!”
“This was the second time Vanessa took care of my 2 cats. She was able to capture a few photos of them while we were away, and as always, took great care of the kitties and house.”
“It was our first time using Isa, but it will not be our last! Took great care of our boy and sent a lot of pictures. ? She even went the extra mile to secure a few packages that were delivered while we were away! BOOK HER!!!”
About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.
“Bree was an excellent care giver for my cat Baby. I cannot express enough what it meant to not have to worry. Bree sent daily photos and videos. She went out of her way to engage and play games with my anti-social fur baby 😊. Bree was friendly and dependable and I will be working with her again!”

I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home.

Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.

About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and am able to care for any type of animal. I am also able to administer medicine and take care of elderly dogs or pets with special needs.

I’m a military wife and currently a SAHM so I am available all day between the hours of 830am-3pm and in the evenings as well once my husband is home from work. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly cats who have been around dogs. I am able to crate your pet if needed or am also fine with them roaming free in my home.
About: I had Chows as a kid growing up and I've had my current Chow for 8 years. I love dogs and animals in general and understand the importance of having someone reliable to call on to be able to take care of them. I'll show your furbabies the love they deserve and make sure they're looked after while you're away. I'm available to take care of your pet as needed. I'd love to arrange a meet & greet to get to know your pet in their environment and discuss expectations. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of while you're away. Let me know their feeding and activity schedule and your instructions for keeping their area clean and tidy.
About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.
About: I treat every animal like my own and have years of experience rescuing, fostering, and placing cats and dogs in loving homes. I’ve worked with ill and high-anxiety pets, providing patient, compassionate care. My passion is helping animals — and their owners — feel safe and supported. I offer flexible pricing to fit your needs and budget, with a military discount available. I am a full time pet sitter.

I do my best to keep your house as clean as possible so when you arrive home from your vacation or business trip all you have to worry about is relaxing and spending time with your pet

I have learned so much about proper care over the years, and I will ensure your pet is happy and healthy!
About: "I've taken care of dogs all sizes since I was 5, starting with a dog walking business with my two older sisters in my old neighborhood. I fell in love with dogs that I got one of my own, took her to applejack k-9 academy for training, and took animal behavior college classes. I later then got a job at a kennel boarding and daycare service. I have learned much by Applejack, ABC, and my job. I really enjoy it :) I'm currently working Monday-Friday at Winters Chiropractor and physical therapy.

About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️
About: I grew up in a household full of animals, so I’m used to some chaotic pet energy. :) I like to play and create a bond with pets. My main focus is making them feel comfortable with the experience. I work full time, but I’m home often so I can work around my schedule when needed. I enjoy just hanging out with the pets but I can also go on an adventure with them if needed to get that energy out! I’ve had many puppies and kittens in my day so I know how to work with them and help potty train if needed. Right now I have two small girl dogs who are super friendly and just want more friends in their lives! They love cats and dogs alike.
About: I’ve had animas my entire life from dogs to chickens, rabbits, a chinchilla, turtles, a bearded dragon, cats, and more! Dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’ve trained with dogs my whole life. I worked at a dog kennel for 7 years, trained dogs professionally for 4, and recently graduated from an accredited dog training school called Starmark! I have also been trusted and recommended by many people who know me well and they have all given nothing but good feedback and compliments, I take pride in my animal care! I am currently between jobs after graduating and so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards helping people and animals! You may message me with any further inquiries or questions you might have! While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am still very capable of providing lots of enrichment for dogs! My dogs go to parks, they walk on long lines outside to give them a lot of space, we go on sniffy walks, they get lick mats, enrichment toys, mental games, training, and so much more! My yard is also very large featuring a large in ground pool (fenced in) and multiple large areas of grass and lots of woods behind my house! I also have chickens that while kept in a secure, separate area, help keep the tick population minimal!
About: Hi my name is Allie, I am currently a dog groomer and love spending my days with animals. If I am not at work grooming dogs I am taking care of animals either at home or for a family while they are out of town. I've always grown up with many different animals throughout my life and was always the one to bring a new pet home and take in an animal in need of a home. Caring for families pets while they are gone has been something I enjoy doing, I can assure you that your pets will get all the attention and love they need while you are gone! I currently work part time, my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be available everyday morning and evening and then on my days off I am available throughout the day as well. I live on 5 acres and have a fenced in area to let’s your pet run to get some energy out! I enjoy taking them on walks around the neighborhood and of course snuggling with them inside.

“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“The perfect choice! Lilian was pleasant from beginning to end and willing to answer any questions we have! The updates on our pup were truly appreciated! We would certainly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”
“So glad to have found Megan to watch my dog, Freya! Megan sent pictures & video of Freya having a great time. I could tell Freya was comfortable right away at our meet & greet & looked so happy when I picked her up. Megan is so friendly and patient, can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of my baby! 😊”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
“Dasia was fantastic again! It’s so great to find someone you feel comfortable to watch your pet. Dasia provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was amazing.”
“Tanita and Terrence took amazing care of our dog Skye. It was her first long stay away from us. We felt reassured with the pictures and updates they sent us throughout Skye’s stay. They were very kind, accommodating and attentive to our needs. I wanted to keep this review a secret so they don’t book up! We will certainly be trusting them to watch our pup again! Thanks Tanita and Terrence for your care!”
“Erwin V. provided boarding services after we were informed that his primary caregiver would not be available. Erwin V. was very professional and provided superior service for the week that we were away. Although our dog experienced separation anxiety, Erwin V. gave him the attention and care that he needed. Erwin V. was also kind enough to allow our dog to be dropped off a day earlier at no charge.”
“.Kelly was an absolute professional and a true dog lover. In just one stay, she managed to form a remarkable bond with my very skittish dog, Loki—a feat that not many people can accomplish. Her genuine care and compassion for the dogs in her care are evident in everything she does. Kelly goes above and beyond to ensure every dog feels loved, safe, and completely at home. From the smallest details to the extra mile she puts in, her dedication is unmatched. It's clear that taking care of dogs isn't just a job for Kelly; it's her passion. Thanks to her efforts, I felt completely at ease knowing my furry companion was in the best possible hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have my dogs stay with her again in the future. In fact, I’ll enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their beloved pets. Kelly is simply exceptional! 💜”
“Vanessa & Gio were warm and welcoming. My fur baby, Blaze received exceptional care from them for the 5 days he spent with them. They are very attentive and followed my long list of daily instructions. I received daily updates with either video or pictures of Blaze which is important to my family. I will definitely use Vanessa & Gio for my future boarding needs.”
“I love love LOVE having CiCi care for my fur baby Charli! She stayed four nights without her baby shadow, my other spoiled pooch, and she enjoyed outdoor play, made new friends, and even got a manicure and pedicure! I always feel confident leaving my dogs in her care because she cares for them as if they are her own. I recommended her recently to my neighbor for her puppy and she is also pleased with the care she received. We will continue to use her for our extended stay needs for sure!”
“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”
About: I live on a 300 acre farm which has given me experience with all types of animals. I am also a veterinary technician and have experience treating all types of dogs, cats, & exotics. I have 2 well-socialized basset hounds that are the highlight of my day. There is plenty of room to roam and play. Can offer trail walks / runs, fetch, belly rubs, swimming (if Owner allows), couch time, and toys & treats. Comfortable with the extra care senior dogs require. Happy to accept puppies too. Able to administer medications, CPR, and handle emergencies. True animal lover. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Your pets would not be left alone for more than 2 hours - I work 3 mi. from my home so would be able to pop home anytime to tend to your pets. I have a 1-acre fenced in area and 300 acres of farmland to roam. Happy to crate your dogs if requested; otherwise they would be allowed in the home freely.
