“Kat was a good send, last minute I was in need of someone to come and take care of my 7th month old puppy and stay at my place. She responded to my post in hours and was flexible as I figured out If it could work. She agreed to come and meet me first so we can connect since this was the first time I had ever hired a dog sitter. She took great care of my puppy and it was clear she is a natural. She took our pupp6 to her office well she worked, which was great because I meant she was never alone for too long. She took great care of the house and left it in great shape. I'm so glad that I found Kat for the next time. We need a do sitter.”


“Elliot stayed at our house with our dogs (3 of them) for 4 days. I can't say enough good things about Elliot. You can tell that he really cares about animals and spends lots of time with them when house sitting. We got updates, photos and the dogs got walked twice a day. I wouldn't hesitate to have Elliot stay again. Having Elliot stay with the dogs gave us peace of mind and the house was well taken care of. Elliot is someone very responsible and completely trustworthy. Thank you Elliot !!!!!”


“Amazing! Toni stayed at our place for 9 nights with our dog. She was totally reliable and communicated very thoughtfully. We were concerned since it was the first time we had hired someone we didn't know to take care of our cherished girl, but Toni put us at ease and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry. She even stayed home with Fiona during the 4th of July fireworks, because she gets very nervous. She made sure that our pup got long walks, love and treats, and that she stayed cool during a heat wave. Our house is quirky, and Toni handled it just fine. The house was also spotless when we came home. It was obvious that she bonded with our dog, and made her feel loved. We will definitely be asking Toni to housesit next time we go out of town!”


“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”


“Blake was incredible. She is friendly and made fast friends with my fur babies. They absolutely loved her! Even the cat! She was so responsive and really put my mind at ease. We’re in the middle of a move and had to go out of town at the same time. I have complete trust I. Her and was so impressed with how she took everything in stride and asked all the right questions. I will definitely continue to use her. Outstanding service.”



“Luna cared for our rambunctious miniature Australian shepherd, Daisy while we were in Hawaii for one week. The moment Luna came over to meet Daisy, I immediately felt at ease. Daisy was absolutely smitten with her and Luna was incredibly sweet and affectionate with Daisy. Luna took excellent care of our house while we were away and provided daily updates for Daisy, who was also having a fantastic time while we were away! Luna took Daisy on multiple walks, played with her and provided her with plenty of stimulation and love. We arrived back home from the airport very late, and Luna had put away all of our groceries we ordered and put fresh sheets on the bed for us and we had clean towels as well. We were so happy that our house and dog were so well cared for while we were away. I would highly recommend Luna as a pet/home sitter!”


“We had Elizabeth house sit and look after our 2 pups while we were out of town for an event for a few days. We also have some chickens in the back yard that required minimal attention but Elizabeth was so kind to look over them as well. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were happy and comfortable and followed instructions that we left. If we ever need someone to look over them again. I hope we’ll be able to book with Elizabeth.”


“Thad was prompt, communicative, and great with my dog. He kept the house in good shape and watered the garden as instructed. He is very personable. I enjoyed meeting him and will call him again.”


“Gina was wonderful with our new puppy for a weekend home stay. She was courteous, professional, and provided multiple updates. Very thoughtful and treated our house with respect. We can’t wait to book Gina again!”


“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”


“Oli was such a gem! We have 2 large, young pitties that have a lot of energy, and she handled them great. I didn’t worry about them once during our 5-day long trip. She was very communicative and sent awesome updates.”


“Brianna was wonderful. She's done drop in visits for me before, but this was the first time for housesitting and overnight petsitting. I was gone for a week and she took great care of my girls. They were happy to see me when I got back, but not anxious or upset. Will absolutely hire Brianna again. She is reliable, communicative, and lovely to work with.”


“Gianna was amazing! She stayed with our Louis for four nights and we are so lucky to have found her. She sent lots of pictures and updates and took such great care of him. She was super responsive and treated our house with great care. We will definitely be using her in the future.”


“Dominica went completely above and beyond for us! We have an anxious senior dog, but she won him over right away (and me too!) with her calm and friendly demeanor. She stayed with him for multiple overnights in our home, and sent us meaningful updates and great photos. We could tell our guy was very happy and well-loved while we were away, and it provided such peace of mind. We can recommend Dominica at the highest level. She is a joy - and a fabulous caretaker!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! From age two until I left for college, I had lived with a total of 3 cats and 5 dogs. In high school, I spent countless hours volunteering at the Rohnert Park animal shelter, caring for pets of every age, breed, and personality. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own, and I’d be thrilled to give your fur baby the same love and attention they get at home. I recently returned to the U.S. after spending two amazing years living and working in Spain. While I search for my next career opportunity, I have plenty of free time — which means I can give your pets all the attention, care, and love they deserve! While I’m not able to host pets in my home at the moment, I’d be happy to care for them in yours! Whether it’s check-ins, drop-in visits, or walks, I’m very flexible and happy to accommodate whatever you need to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in my care.

About: I am a life-long dog owner and lover. In the past few years I have helped raise multiple puppies and been a professional pet and house sitter. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teeny tiny to 130+ lbs ! I love going on walks in nature and making sure dogs get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. And of course, lots of snuggles! I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs as well, including medication and special diets. I look forward to meeting your sweet pup! I am a musician who works from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to pour into the animals I am caring for. Daily walks are my favorite! I treat every space I enter as sacred and care for it like my own. My home has 2 small dogs currently, so it is designed for their care and safety. I love to leave a space cleaner than when I found it! And bless it with positive energy, leaving you with a happy pet.

Lyric R.
“Here you go Lyric! 💫 Our dog Noodle is a very soft hearted, sensitive, and picky with people type of dog. Things have to be consensual, on Noodle’s terms in regards to interactions with humans. Lyric is a very kind soul, and Noodle has appreciated that. She was very patient with his moods, and him not liking going out in the rain. :) When we have returned home, Noodle has been a very happy gent being around Lyric, which is so important to my husband and I. We return home to a very clean home as well. Thanks Lyric! Christy and Ted, and Noodle-”
