“Robyn is a very straightforward and no nonsense kind of person, I was confident in leaving her in charge of caring for my dog, Gracie and my other smaller critters: a couple of indoor birds, a chicken and some fish. She was also upfront and honest about her availability for pet sitting; I would hire her again to care for my animals.”


“It was my pup’s first time hanging with Wendy & we are very happy with her warmness & communication! I especially love the videos & pictures as it gave me ease knowing she was in good hands :)”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“Elliette has been a great dog walker. Our dog Jordan loved her and had a great time. Elliette went above and beyond to make sure Jordan was comfortable and was happy while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough.”


“Lynden and Timothy did a great job taking care of my 2 bullies for the weekend. They also do drop in visits one day a week for me. They always take great care and send great photos as well.”

“Cheryl is amazing and so wonderful with our 6 month old German Shepherd (who is also a land shark/velociraptor ) . So patient with her and gives 100% of her attention to a great experience with each visit. Cheryl has great energy and love for the animals in her care.”


“During 2 meet & greet sessions, Jennifer and Brian were very attentive and receptive to my dogs' care details. They have spent time with my extremely rambunctious Golden Retriever (and his well-behaved older brother) and handled him with grace. I look forward to a 2-week vacation soon knowing that my fur babies are in good hands. Thank you Jennifer & Brian!”


“10/10! Allie was everything we wanted and more! Our pups warmed right up and really enjoyed her company. Very thorough with details and easy communication. We will definitely schedule with her again in the future when needed. Highly Recommend!!”


“She was amazing to our young kitties! She sent lots of pictures, videos and updates that we really appreciated!! We will definitely recommend her to our friends. Thank you!”


About: Since I could open my eyes, there has been a dog in front of them. Growing up, my family bred and raised AKC yellow labs. I also worked for a horse/dog breeder, helping take care and market Aussie puppies. I also have experience with senior dogs. My senior lab lost all function in his hind end towards the end of his life and I was his primary care giver. Senior care was the hardest and most fulfilling job I’ve had. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and I have been working in a clinic setting for almost a year now. I am taking a break from the clinic to focus on school and enjoy my summer. Send your furry friends my way!❤️🐾 I’m doing some other little side jobs but I am free otherwise. I have school that I need to attend to daily. I was working at a veterinary clinic but I am now taking a break to focus on school and enjoy the summer. I am also offering nail trims for an extra charge ;) I have two dogs at my house that are not friendly to other dogs. This means that I will be strictly keeping dogs at owners houses, streets, towns, etc. and there will be no chance of interaction between my dogs and any other dogs ☺️

“Regina clearly loves animals! My two dogs and cat warmed up to her right away. She was responsive and communicative. Will definitely consider booking her again in the future.”


About: Have experience training a high energy pup. Have the patience and will to want to train puppies. Love finding out the best way to engage and motivate a dog. I am currently working part-time at my other job so I am typically available in the afternoons to evenings from 2 pm to 9 pm Tuesdays through Saturday. Sunday and Monday I am generally available after 9 am throughout the entire day. I can help facilitate consistent leadership and loving companionship to your pets. Willing to work with puppies in crate and potty training. They will not only have their needs met but I'll make sure that they are content!!

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to older animals requiring more delicate attention. My responsibilities have included feeding, bathing, administering basic care, and cleaning up after them to ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I understand the unique needs that come with different life stages and am attentive, patient, and committed to making each pet feel safe and well cared for. Although I currently work two jobs and will be starting cosmetology school in the fall, I am fully committed to providing the highest level of care for your pets. Their well-being and comfort are my top priority, and I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and loving with every animal I care for. You can trust that your pets will be in safe, capable, and compassionate hands. I am attentive to detail and able to follow specific instructions and directions carefully to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet at all times.

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

About: I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes; dog sitting, walking and feeding. I have owned multiple dogs in my life from puppies to seniors. My schedule is currently open Friday-Sunday afternoon for in pet home sitting, drop ins and walks. During the week I'm avaliable Tuesdays and Thursday between 12pm-5pm for drop ins and walks only. I can do in client home care only. I like to focus on animals exercise and play; ball throwing in the backyard or long walks (or short walks for the small or senior dogs) I can crate your animal if necessary and I love giving treats and positive praise. If they like a good brush out I'd be happy to do that as well.

Janelle E.
“I HIGHLY recommend Janelle to care for your pets! I've known her for 53 years and she has cared for our dogs and cats many times. Her love of animals became apparent at the very early age of 3. By 8 years old, she wanted to become a veterinarian but soon discovered "putting down" animals was part of being a vet, which she could not bare. She has an uncanny gift that attracts animals to her. She's very good at keeping them busy with play time, walking, running, quiet time and the all-important snuggle time. Along with being an excellent pet sitter, she is dependable, responsible and a very caring individual.”


Elinor S.
“Elinor is so great with animals! I’ve watched her care for animals of all shapes and sizes with compassion and attention to detail. Rest assured, she will treat your pets with the same love and attention as she has her own.”
