“Anika was absolutely amazing. The care and concern provided for my baby was out of this world. Mocha thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled and having a ball with everyone in the home. I was really appreciative of Anika's consistent communication and check ins. The photos and videos were the highlight of my day while I was away. I don't trust my baby with many, but my heart was completely at ease while she was in Anika's care. Ever grateful. We will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you 💕”
“La Tasha was wonderful with our Griffin pup. She went above and beyond to keep us updated on his stay via texts and videos. She was very easy to schedule with and has a great love for dogs. Griffin was happy and exhausted at pick up time ;)”
“Denise was wonderful. Very sweet and caring personality. Her home was clean and beautiful. She sent pictures daily and took great care of our baby. I would definitely recommend. 10 outta 10.”
“This was our first time booking with Lilian & she was wonderful! She took the time to do a meet & greet to make sure Lucy got along well with her own dogs and she made sure to inquire about any special needs Lucy might have. During Lucy’s stay for 10 days she checked in regularly with updates and sent photos of Lucy playing. She had good communication during the entire stay, as well as leading up to it, and she took great care of Lucy! We would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“I don’t know where to begin; Megan and her family are the absolute best! My German Shepard/Cattle Dog is weary of new people, but she took to Megan and her family right away. I love how Megan was always available and how she consistently sent photos and videos to keep us updated; it’s like our pups were on our vacation just as we were cause based on the videos they were having so much fun I was almost jealous lol! I loved how she exposed my pups to her chickens and whatever interested them in her backyard. I also loved that they had children because my Teacup always had someone to play with. Lastly, I really appreciate Megan’s flexibility. We had car trouble coming back from the airport and not once did she ever make us feel bad for the inconvenience. If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies, I totally recommend Megan 100%. Thanks so much Megan and family, you guys made going on vacation stress free. Our pups will definitely be back! P.S., Mecca and Cocoa said thank you for the treat bag you sent them home with! They really enjoyed them, especially Cocoa! Lol.”
“My pup had a fantastic stay with Bobbi and her husband. They treated Emma like one of the family. I received photo / video updates daily, which really made it easier knowing she was having fun and well taken care of. Emma got along great with Bobbi's dogs and they were playing together in no time. She had so much fun during her stay, she went right to bed when we got home...always a good sign! I would highly recommend Bobbi and her husband. They were very thorough in making sure that they had the same rules in place for Emma as we do at home in order to make sure she stays within her routine, which was greatly appreciated. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“It was my first time using this app and I’m super impressed. I loved the photos and videos they sent of my dog while he was in their care for 2 days. Very nice, wonderful people who I will absolutely use in the future.”
“The absolute best care you could ask for. Kelly treated Otis like a member of the family. Very responsive and accommodating, it was truly a pleasure dealing with Kelly.”
“Liz always takes wonderful care of our dog. She provides plenty of updates and is confident in providing the care our dog needs. I’ve never worried about how our dog is when she’s with Liz.”
“We greatly appreciated Kelly and Maurice's flexibility when we had a last minute request for our Roxy. She was well taken care of, loved on, and made comfortable as soon as we dropped her off. It helped ease our minds knowing that she was in a great environment!”
“I’m so thankful for the care that Yiqiuxi and Nick took for my baby girl. Although she was nervous, they did the best they could to make her feel at ease and kept me updated on how she was doing the whole time they cared for her. Thank you and I look forward to a continued relationship with you and my baby girl.”
“She is very quick with responses, I needed a last minute sitter for Bronx because I had a house gathering & I was so glad he was able to visit her home for a couple of hours”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
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!
“Ben is absolutely wonderful! He took such good care of our two senior cats! If you want your pet to be cared for by someone who is attentive, kind, and loves pets- Ben is your pick! Thanks again!!”
“We're a repeat customer of Vanessa's. She always tries really hard to find our cat, who is an expert at hide and seek. If she can't find her, she does report back that she's eating and using the litter box so we know all is well. Highly recommend!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
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.

I’ve cared for my family‘s pets and have completed a basic veterinary assistant class recently.

I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home. I am currently working on installing a fence, so for now I can do leash walks to keep everyone safe, or supervised play for small puppies since we are acres from the road. If you’re looking for personalized care, space, and a more relaxed environment, I’d love to care for your dog. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize safety at all times.

I can follow each dogs routines, which includes feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions that you provide.

I work part time and go to school some evenings, So once I am done school I cannot wait to adopt a loving animal(s).I have volunteered at many shelters in my spare time walking and loving on the animals that need some extra love.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! 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’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with their furry family members.

If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time.

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 look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 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: Hello! I have been housesitting for about 5 years now for horses, dogs, cats, and more. I have experience in first aid and medication administering if needed. As well as spending my youth in 4-H and working in animal based settings, I am very knowledgeable of proper care. I strive to bring a positive energy around all animals I’m currently working part time, and I am in college part time as well. I am happy to work around both our schedules as I can be flexible! Any time spent with animals is time well spent for me! I am happy to continue whatever schedule/habits you like to keep your pets on while you’re away. 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. I'll be available to care for your fur baby's mostly on weekends and during break time from work. I would be excited to handle your babies the way that I would want mine to be, with love and care. I live in a big house with all my siblings with a big nice sized yard. I have a big crate at home to keep them in there if instructed, with Also a big dog bed and lots of toys.
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 have experience with large dogs and small dogs and love spending time with animals. I am currrently without animals at the moment which leaves more time for me to help others! I work full time but have availability some afternoons and evenings and also weekends. My job is also flexible so I’m able to take lunch breaks and work from home most days. I can work with your schedule and be flexible to what you and your animals need. Please just let me know what you’re looking for and we can work together to make that happen!
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: 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.
About: Ive taken care of animals my whole life. Whether it was a dog, ferret, or even a goldfish I absolutely adore animals with my whole heart. Im currently going to school full time with a very open schedule that gives me a majority of the day to be free for whatever I need to do. Ive grown up with both crate trained and uncrate trained dogs both big (cane torso) or small (chihuahua) and have had no problem getting them in comfortably and safely. Having multiple pets makes keeping track of when they need to go out and when they should be fed very easy making sure to have as little accidents as possible and always checking the surroundings when letting them in and out of the house.

“Denise was wonderful. Very sweet and caring personality. Her home was clean and beautiful. She sent pictures daily and took great care of our baby. I would definitely recommend. 10 outta 10.”
“This was our first time booking with Lilian & she was wonderful! She took the time to do a meet & greet to make sure Lucy got along well with her own dogs and she made sure to inquire about any special needs Lucy might have. During Lucy’s stay for 10 days she checked in regularly with updates and sent photos of Lucy playing. She had good communication during the entire stay, as well as leading up to it, and she took great care of Lucy! We would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“I don’t know where to begin; Megan and her family are the absolute best! My German Shepard/Cattle Dog is weary of new people, but she took to Megan and her family right away. I love how Megan was always available and how she consistently sent photos and videos to keep us updated; it’s like our pups were on our vacation just as we were cause based on the videos they were having so much fun I was almost jealous lol! I loved how she exposed my pups to her chickens and whatever interested them in her backyard. I also loved that they had children because my Teacup always had someone to play with. Lastly, I really appreciate Megan’s flexibility. We had car trouble coming back from the airport and not once did she ever make us feel bad for the inconvenience. If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies, I totally recommend Megan 100%. Thanks so much Megan and family, you guys made going on vacation stress free. Our pups will definitely be back! P.S., Mecca and Cocoa said thank you for the treat bag you sent them home with! They really enjoyed them, especially Cocoa! Lol.”
“My pup had a fantastic stay with Bobbi and her husband. They treated Emma like one of the family. I received photo / video updates daily, which really made it easier knowing she was having fun and well taken care of. Emma got along great with Bobbi's dogs and they were playing together in no time. She had so much fun during her stay, she went right to bed when we got home...always a good sign! I would highly recommend Bobbi and her husband. They were very thorough in making sure that they had the same rules in place for Emma as we do at home in order to make sure she stays within her routine, which was greatly appreciated. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“It was my first time using this app and I’m super impressed. I loved the photos and videos they sent of my dog while he was in their care for 2 days. Very nice, wonderful people who I will absolutely use in the future.”
“The absolute best care you could ask for. Kelly treated Otis like a member of the family. Very responsive and accommodating, it was truly a pleasure dealing with Kelly.”
“Liz always takes wonderful care of our dog. She provides plenty of updates and is confident in providing the care our dog needs. I’ve never worried about how our dog is when she’s with Liz.”
“I’m so thankful for the care that Yiqiuxi and Nick took for my baby girl. Although she was nervous, they did the best they could to make her feel at ease and kept me updated on how she was doing the whole time they cared for her. Thank you and I look forward to a continued relationship with you and my baby girl.”
“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.”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”
“I truly enjoyed my experience with Gio and Vanessa. They scheduled a meet-and-greet before the actual dog-sitting weekend, and from the very first meeting everything was straightforward and well organized. We went on a walk with Zuko, and Gio walked me through the steps that he and Vanessa take during the stay. Everything was very thorough, and I didn't feel rushed I was able to ask all my questions comfortably. Drop-off for the weekend was super easy. Zuko was already familiar with Gio, and I brought along all the things that help him feel comfortable and at home. I really appreciated that right after drop-off, Gio took Zuko on a walk around the neighborhood to help him get familiar with the surroundings and reduce anxiety. I thought that was a great strategy, and it definitely helped Zuko ease into his stay. Throughout the weekend, they kept me updated with pictures and progress updates, which I really appreciated. I had mentioned that Zuko is usually very calm during the day, and based on the updates and how pickup went, everything matched perfectly. Pickup was just as easy. I pulled up, Zuko happily jumped into the car, and he was clearly comfortable and happy with Gio as well. Overall, this was a very easy and positive experience. I appreciate them accommodating a last-minute booking. Thank you both!”
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“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!”
