“Ivan was the best choice to watch Bella! He was quick to respond to the original request and was flexible in scheduling a time for the meet and greet. He provided pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day! He even taught Bella a new trick! I would highly recommend Ivan!”
“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”
“James and Jasmine are hands-down the best dog sitters we’ve ever used. They are incredibly professional and took the time to understand Toby’s specific routine and needs. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs and treated our Toby as their own. They were super reliable and kept us up to date with Toby's activities and sent us daily pix -- they truly went above and beyond to make sure Toby was comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking them again! Thanks again guys!”
“Our Standard Poodle pup had the best doggie vacation ever during his stay with Mario. He got lots of playtime, walks, and social time with other dogs. Mario was great -- always responsive, and willing to help us with medication needs and with some socialization challenges our pup was having.”
“Michael was fantastic! This was the first time I had left Bojangles for more than an overnight and I had no cause to worry. His communication was constant, and when I picked up Bojangles, it was obvious he had been well cared for. Will definitely be using Michael again.”
“My dog loves Anne because she’s so caring and loving to him and made him feel so comfortable just like in his own home. I would highly recommend Anne and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”
“Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She was so flexible when our vacation dates changed, adding 2 additional days right at Christmas time. She went over and above by allowing us to come twice for a meet and greet ahead of time so Biscotti could get used to her. During Biscotti’s stay, she sent us multiple updates throughout the day. It was obvious she was taking great care of Biscotti as well as the other 2 dogs she was caring for. Biscotti was happy, healthy, and sad to say goodbye to her new friend when we picked her up. Kelly provided all the daily love and attention Biscotti was used to and we never worried about her during our trip. I highly recommend Kelly!”
“Wally had a wonderful stay with Lawrence and Rachel! They were exceptionally responsive from start to finish and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. This is the first sitter who's truly followed every detail of the care instructions I provided, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Wally was entertained, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for the entire time. Thank you so much — I know Wally can't wait to see you again!”
“Our dog Miso had a great time with Jihyun and her dog Tori. We feel very connected with frequent photo and video updates of Miso. Thank you for your help watching over Miso!”
“Tilly came home a very happy girl! She is so well taken care of at Diana and Michael’s. It feels great to have peace of mind while I’m out of town, knowing she’s in a safe, loving home where she also has a lot of fun playing! Diana sent great videos and updates during the stay! Would definitely continue having Tilly stay here.”
“Annie was wonderful with Boba! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos during his stay, which we really appreciated. Boba looked so happy and had a great time playing with the other pups. We could tell he was very well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Felt very reassured during the entire booking. I received constant updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She always asked questions when unsure and was very flexible to make sure my dog got the care he needed. Very fast at responding. Overall great experience.”
“Zicheng was extremely accommodating and responsive. He has a great backyard and a fun dog. He texts pictures during a stay and its always reassuring. I would highly recommend Zicheng for anyone in the Peninsula.”
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our dog was really happy during his stay and Edward seemed equally happy to spend time caring for him. Edward was very flexible, easy to communicate with, and provided many photos of their adventures.”
About: I have a Samoyed x Standard Poodle at home, so I am very comfortable handling and caring for larger breeds! I have also cared for various dogs within my family so I are experienced with smaller dogs and different breeds. And since I work from home full time, you can expect frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pup is happy and well looked after! I work from home full time, so your dog will never be left alone. Since I have our own dog, I already do two walks a day — so your pup will definitely be getting out and about! I have my own friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends — he gets along great with dogs of all sizes and breeds, so your pup will always have a playmate! I also have enrichment toys and lick mats on hand to keep them stimulated and entertained.
“CHRISTINE did a wonderful job taking care of Karma. I will look forward to using her again. Nice home with large enclosed backyard and a quiet neighborhood. Great job, Christine. ----g.”

Ivan is very responsive and respectful about your concerns. Our girl is 15 and we lost her brother last year so it’s been really hard for all of us. We travel for work and it’s been extremely hard for Daisy to be in new environments without her brother. Ivan was responsive, sent photos, let us knew if she ate, had water, went potty. He also gave us enough time for meet and greets at his house. Not many sitters allowed us to do that. Ivan also seems like a kind and friendly human.
Absolute Best Care for Sesame! I cannot recommend Kristine highly enough! She watched our dog, Sesame, over the weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, it was clear just how kind, patient, and genuinely nice she is. She treated Sesame like one of her own, giving her the absolute best care, attention, and love. It brought us total peace of mind knowing Sesame was in such safe, affectionate hands while we were away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further. Sesame can’t wait to hang out with her again! Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of our pup!
Irina was absolutely the best! She was fun, thoughtful and caring. Every single day, she sent a bunch of photos as well as a description of our dog’s day — exploring different parks, playing at home, snoozing on the couch together. She was also mindful of his quirks (recent leg surgery, wariness around other dogs), and she adjusted her plan accordingly. My family and I were so relieved to know that our pet was receiving such wonderful attention!
Mario was excellent! We took our 7 month old puppy (Benji) to him for 3 days of boarding. It was the first time we had to board Benji and I'm very happy we chose Mario! Mario is super knowledgeable and took great care of our pup. It was clear Benji got a lot of attention and exercise throughout the weekend! We received a lot of updates and excellent pictures. Looking forward to working with Mario in the future. We highly recommend him!
Yoko is, without a doubt, the most exceptional pet caretaker I have ever had the privilege to work with — I recommend her with the highest enthusiasm. I was away in Japan for two weeks on a work trip, and Yoko took care of my dog Lulu the entire time. Throughout those two weeks, she sent me daily photos and videos of Lulu, along with detailed updates — what they did each day, how Lulu was eating, and even how her bathroom routine was going. Those updates gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to fully focus on my work. This was, without question, the most trustworthy and attentive pet care I have ever experienced. Lulu warmed up to Yoko immediately, and from the videos I could see that Lulu was as relaxed and happy as if she were at her own home. Yoko has a remarkable gift for understanding dogs — she reads each dog’s personality, knows how to help them relax, and pays close attention to what they enjoy and what interests them. She doesn’t just care for a dog; she truly tunes in to who that dog is. I have already decided that Yoko will be my go-to person for any future needs — whether for short outings or longer trips abroad. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner looking for someone they can trust completely.
Viola and Zach were terrific. Pepper had a wonderful stay with them and their sweet and affectionate dog Nuki! Viola and Zach were very attentive to Pepper’s needs and quirks. They asked great questions about his needs and care when we first met, and I felt very confident that Pepper would be an excellent hands. And he was. Nuki was also a great host, and the two dogs got along very well. Pepper adjusted quickly with them and was very happy and comfortable. I will definitely reach out again for future stays.
You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷
We had a fantastic experience with Zhichen (Zoe) and Jason! They took such thoughtful care of Mochi. We realized we’d forgotten to pack his treats, and they were kind enough to provide some so he didn't miss out. Most impressively, they developed a clever strategy to help Mochi finish his meals in a new environment—something he usually struggles with. Plus, Mochi absolutely loved playing with their dog, Runa! It’s such a relief knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
