“Coco had a wonderful time with Jie! I appreciated Jie's quick response for a last minute boarding request, she shared adorable photos and videos throughout the stay, and was caring and loving with Coco. With multiple walks during the day, a soft banana couch Coco loved. and lots of snuggles -- Coco had a fantastic Saturday with her.”
“Min Jin and Mi Ran were so wonderful to work with and watch Theo. They were incredibly responsive, gave multiple updates with lots of photos (which I greatly appreciated) and were more than willing to spend time to make sure he would eat (as it always takes him a bit to settle into a new routine). They did an absolutely amazing job watching Theo and I would highly recommend them!”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to raise and care for three wonderful dogs, from tiny two-month-old pups to wise, gentle seniors — so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and energy level, and I adapt my care to suit what makes them happiest. On walks, I keep a close eye on what they sniff or try to eat, as well as how they interact with other pets we meet along the way — making sure every encounter is safe and friendly. I can also do basic training like “sit,” “paw,” and “roll,” using high-quality freeze-dried liver treats (with your permission, of course!). When we return from our walk, I’m happy to give them a gentle clean-up — wiping their eyes, paws, and rear with premium Earth Rated pet wipes — so they come home fresh and comfortable. I walk my own dog at least twice a day, so spending time with animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m an active person, averaging over 10,000 steps a day, and since I live in downtown Palo Alto, walking is also my main form of getting around. At my client’s home, I will feed the pets, play with them, and keep an eye out for anything unusual, letting the owners know right away if I notice something of concern. I’m also happy to handle basic pet-related clean-up when needed. Having raised three dogs myself, I’ve become skilled at giving relaxing dog massages — and if your pet enjoys gentle human touch, I’d be delighted to treat them to a soothing massage.
“Ahmyah was excellent! She walked Ernie five times a day and showered him with attention. She kept in good communication with me throughout her time with Ernie, sending me pictures and updates on how he was doing! I would definitely recommend Ahmyah as a sitter for your pet and will be coming back to her with Ernie in the future!”

Shilu W.
“I’ve known Jess for over 15 years, and if there’s one thing you should know about her, it’s that she has a heart of gold when it comes to animals. She’s raised two amazing dogs over the years, pouring endless love, energy, and care into them—truly treating them like family (because to Jess, they are!!!). She just gets pets—their quirks, their needs, and what makes them happiest. And she understands exactly what pet parents need too: someone they can trust completely. Jess is the kind of person who will go the extra mile for your furry friend, whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or making sure they feel safe while you’re away. I can say with total confidence—any pet would be lucky to have Jess in their life!”
