“I had to find a last minute sitter, and Howard was an absolute life-saver! Within an hour of sending him the first message, I was dropping my puppy off at his house. He communicated regularly with me throughout the day, kept her active, and was very receptive to her particular needs. Overall, an excellent experience. Would recommend highly!”
“Stephanie took great care of our pup and sent us pictures throughout the day. It eased our minds about leaving our pup in a new place while touring the Museum. If we are ever in the area again we will plan to use her pet services again!”

“Always a pleasure letting Peanut stay with Brianna. Brianna is very accommodating with our schedule. Peanut is tired but super happy after a day. He likes Brianna a lot.”

“Zuleima accepted our request last minute and was very flexible and communicative, also through pictures! Virgola seemed very happy of her time there and loved playing with her kids—she didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely consider booking again. Thanks!”

“Mari is the best! She is very nice and polite. Our dog Casey loves to walk so she took her a very long walk and even took her to a nearby unleashed park. She sent us a bunch of photos and videos while she was taking care of Casey, so we could see how Casey was taken care of. Casey seemed to have a very comfortable and fun time with Mari. I really recommend her.”

About: What differentiates me from other pet care is that I stay true to the routine of the pets that are under my care. Dogs need a routine to feel calm and safe. Walks, sweets and feeding should be done at the usual time so that the dog feels comfortable and stress is avoided. I make sure to get details and a schedule from the owner to be able to fulfill them as much as possible. The pets' routines are my priority, I take them out to do their basic needs, I feed them, I take them for a walk, they hydrate, they take their nap, I give them lunch, I take them to do their needs, I take them for a walk, I give them their snack, I take them out to do their needs, I take them for a walk, and to sleep until the next day. I keep the area clean, I always change their water, I treat them as if they were my children and I treat the house as if it were my home
“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”

“Steven and Claudia are awesome dog people. They kept in touch with pictures and a video and Mello was very happy when I picked him up. Would definitely book again!!”

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals; playing, walking, and making sure they feel safe and happy. Every pet I care for gets the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a student, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your dog! I don’t have school on the weekends so it means I have all day to spend time with your furbaby! I'm close to a trail and doggy park which is perfect for walking your fur baby to get some daily physical exercise in for health!
“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our Boston Terrier in her home for the day while we went to Busch Gardens. She was very quick to communicate with us before, during and after his stay. You could tell she loves dogs and wants to do whatever makes them happy. In our dog’s case that was fetch and snuggle. We highly recommend Rachel if you are looking for a loving person to care for your furry friend.”

About: I'm a Stanford Alum who used to take care of pets in the Palo Alto area. Now working at Yale Med and trying to see some pet babies on the side! I've taken care of small to medium dogs (Shitzu's to Goldens), calm dogs to hyper dogs (love dancing around with a Husky!), shaved cats to fluffy cats, and sweet cats to feisty cats. Love them all so much! Been taking care of family dogs for years and have 2 years of formal cat care experience outside of the family. I’ll be able to devote mornings, evenings, and weekends to pet care 😻 I have a full time job but most days of the week it is remote and flexible! I live in an apartment that can host small to medium dogs and cats. In client's home's, I'll carefully follow care instructions from owners on how to maintain safety within the apartment.
“Mariana is amazing. Izzy loves her daycare visits and enjoys spending time with her and her two dogs. She sends lots of photos so you know your dog is having a great time.”

“Cheyanne is AMAZING! She was punctual and flexible with me when my plans changed. She kept me updated on Phoebe throughout the visit. Phoebe and her pups got along so well! I am totally going to be rebooking with her in the future. It was a great experience all around. Thanks, Cheyanne!”
