I have used Natalie before and highly recommend her. She's great at communicating along the way and I trust her to watch my cat when I'm out of town. I will hire her again for sure!

We are so grateful to have found Heleen to take care of our two kitties! Her communication before, during and after visits was excellent and we could tell by the photos she sent that our kitties were comfortable and really liked her. She seemed to really like them too. Highly recommend Heleen and will definitely look to her in the future.

We give May M. 5 STARS for the awesome care that she took of our furbabies while we were out of town. She more than exceeded our expectations for a kitty-cat caregiver! Thank you for the love and peace of mind that you gave us. May M. is at the top of our list for our next time away.

Ivan has watched my doghter for the past 4 years and he is the only one that I trust for her safety, happiness, and health. My doghter loves Ivan and sometimes I feel like she loves him more than me. I’m so happy that my friend introduced me to Ivan as I travel often and have a very particular way of caring for my precious. He’s also taught my pup how to sit pretty, crawl, and “bang” which is so fun! He is also very responsible and dedicated. If you’re a paranoid, anxious, and semi-helicopter dog parent, Ivan is the perfect man to help ease the worries. My doghter and I love Ivan so much!

Joann was extremely patient and kind with my blind and skittish Shiba. Roxy takes some time to warm up to people and Joann took the time for Roxy to get comfortable with her. Joann was always punctual and sent us pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We’ll definitely want to use Joann again when we travel! Thank you!!

About: Dogs are members of our families. My goal, while watching your beloved dog, is to love them and care for them the way YOU do so that there is low to no stress for you or your dog while you are gone. About me: *Life long animal person caring for every type of pet you can imagine. *20+ years animal experience as volunteer at Peninsula Humane Society *Experienced in caring for senior dogs, special needs and reactive dogs. Able to give medication . Also, I am happy to care for multi species within one home Note: my current rescue is reactive so I may only do housesitting at your place for now. I am retired now and have a very flexible schedule. I will be happy to stay in your home and follow your pet's routines while you are away I am available to stay in your home and will take your dog out for as many walks as you like, play enrichment games or happy to just snuggle on the couch too. Whatever they love the most.

About: I have cared for my own dogs since I was 10 (I currently have a 4 year old toy poodle named Ellie) and have watched numerous dogs for friends and family. I’ll give your dogs the same enthusiasm and responsible care that I give my own. Recent PhD graduate (go Boilermakers!) searching for jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and can meet with your doggo(s) as often as you and they need. I will happily come to your home to care for your dog(s) in their own environment. If they require transport to a separate location for walking, I have a small dog car seat and can provide transport in my car.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was young. Had a dog when I was in high school and recently adopted a dog about a year ago. I am patient and will make sure your dog gets the care they need. I work remotely and love spending time around animals because it just brings me great joy. I currently have a 5 y/o Jindo rescue, but I would love to watch and take care of more animals:) Depending on the service, I will not let your dog out unleashed and will read your instructions carefully to make sure your dog is well looked after. For cats, I will follow the owner’s instructions and ensure that the cat is well cared for.

About: I spend most of my weekends volunteering at Pets In Need (local shelter) in Redwood City! From this experience, I’ve become very familiar with basic commands training (sit/down/settle/roll over/wait/leave it/etc.) and am comfortable working with anxious/shy or jumpy/mouthy dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies to seniors. Currently working remote so I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and work with your pet’s needs. Love going on walks and hikes throughout the week! I currently don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I’m happy to welcome yours in! And of course, if not at my place, I’ll always take upmost care of your home and your pet.
