“5 star review for Nora, a sitter who was exceptional! Nora was professional and easy to work with. Nora provided excellent care for our dog Olive. In addition, she was an excellent house sitter as well!”
“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.
“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”
“Alyssa is great. I can always trust her to take care of my senior chihuahua. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with your special doggos, I highly recommend her”

You are more than welcome to bring anything that makes your pet feel more comfortable such as a toy or some favorite treats I could give him or her! I will follow any instructions or preferences that your pet has, in order to make sure it’s a comfortable and welcoming environment!
About: I’m a born animal lover, and I find joy in spending time with dogs: A man’s best friend. I trained my dog to when I first got her 5 years ago as a puppy, and I continue to do so as she ages. I am able to take care of your pets on fridays and over the weekend! I’m a college student, so I try to be as flexible as possible. I’m living in an apartment with two roommates, so I won’t be able to board your furry friends, but I am more than happy to keep them company at your house!
“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”

About: ⸻ Hi, I’m Darya — your pet’s new best friend. 🐾 With over 16 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, and a background working in a veterinary clinic, I bring a deep understanding of animals and their needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior cat, or a nervous rescue, I care for every pet with patience, love, and a whole lot of heart. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — they’re not just pets, they’re family.

Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With over 16 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking — and a background working in a veterinary clinic — caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I approach each day with patience, reliability, and a calm energy that animals respond to. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had Great Danes for over ten years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve taken care of pets ranging from energetic kittens and puppies to sweet seniors, and my goal is to work with you and your pet's unique temperament to best meet each pet's individual needs. I'm a law student who primarily attends classes in the mornings from Monday to Thursday. Outside of class, my schedule is flexible. I update my calendar regularly, which will best reflect my exact availability. I will take the utmost care to make sure your pet is comfortable and safe in your home and in my presence. I’m comfortable with crating, feeding, and giving your pet medication if needed. I also understand that some pets take their time to warm up to new people, and in those cases I’ll make sure to take the time to gain your pet’s trust. I have experience walking dogs big and small and I’m happy to work with your dog on leash training as well.

She updated me with pictures, videos, and messages of Boots and the games she created for him. Thank you again for the care you gave to my kitten.”

Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or farm animals, I bring calm energy, patience, and lots of love. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and relaxed in their own space, and I’ll make sure their routine is followed, their needs are met, and they get plenty of love while you’re away.

Alex S.
“Alex grew up with animals in the home and is comfortable with both cats and dogs. She was responsible for walking our two great danes, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and also feeding, nurturing and cleaning up after our cats. She has a keen sense of animal's needs and moods. One of our cats was very moody and she always found herself in Alex's lap as she sensed her calm, caring demeanor. Alex took our second puppy to puppy class where she learned the importance of positive discipline, socialization and handling skills. She is familiar with taking our dogs, and friend's dogs, to dog parks and the beach. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alex as a great dog or cat sitter/walker. She is responsible, caring, and strong! Any animal would benefit from her care!”

Tiali was a fantastic house-sitter! She quickly earned the affection of our dog, who usually mistrusts sitters for the first few days. We enjoyed all her photos and updates, and the house was in great shape when we got home. Will definitely be looking to have her back with us!
Nikki was incredible with our two dogs, one of whom is very slow to trust- Nikki went out of her way to make sure that dog felt safe with her before we even left. Our house was also so well taken care of, and she sent lots of updates! Thank you so much, Nikki, for taking such good care of our fur babies. Will absolutely be rebooking in the near future!!
She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!
We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our puppy at our hotel—and Kendall was amazing! She was punctual, kind, and clearly experienced with young dogs. Our pup was calm and happy when we returned, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend if you live the area or visiting like us and need a trustworthy sitter!
Emma was AMAZING with our Zoe. We were gone for 12 days and I never at any point worried that our very spoiled Chihuahua was very well taken care of during the entire time we were gone. She updated up us with pictures and the numerous walks and adventures they embarked on due to the time we were away. When we returned, the house was left clean and we could not even tell she had stayed at our house the entire time. Zoe was sorry to see her go as I am sure she was a warm lap and with constant petting, a devoted person who lavished attention on her.
Joon was fabulous! The house was clean; animals were well-fed, exercised and chill. The real give-away was that my old puppy usually goes into a frenzy when I return from a trip - so overjoyed to see me. This time she said she missed me, but not terribly. That speaks volumes for the care she received from Joon. Same with the kitty. Many stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
This is my second time having Elsa take care of my kitties. Last time, she only took care of Clay, but this time around, she also took care of Oreo, my new kitten. She was attentive and caring. Both my cats have very different personalities and she was respectful of them. Oreo particularly enjoyed having Elsa’s company. She was affectionate and took the time to play with him. I am happy with Elsa’s services and I will rebook her in the future.
Communicative and polite! She is an animal lover and studies them in school. I was super anxious leaving my older Great Dane at home but Xinyuan met her ahead of time and my dog loved her and was happy to see me when I got home! My house was just like I left it. Big recommend
