Michelle was fantastic! We needed someone last minute to housesit our hyper husky. Michelle got back to us promptly and was responsible, trustworthy and professional. I’m so glad I met her, and I definitely plan on using her again in the future.

About: Grew up with Labrador Retrievers throughout my childhood as family members, and now own a 10-year-old chocolate lab named Sophie and a 3-year-old chocolate lab named Patsy. Lots of experience with puppies, as Sophie had 6 of her very own. I am a PhD student at LSU who will be home in Menlo Park for the summer (May-August), visiting my parents. I am available to stay at your house with your dog(s) or to do dog-walking as well. I have cared for pets in my home, as well as house sitting and dog walking, and treat them as if they were my own.

My cat has separation anxiety and I needed someone to housesit and stay overnight. Evelyn took amazing care of my car and treated him like he was her own. She sent daily pictures of snuggles and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands while I was away!

Ian was AMAZING with Cooper. Cooper can be a challenging pup, but C warmed up to Ian quickly and soon I got photos of them taking long walks, playing fetch and snuggling watching TV.

Kristin exceeded every expectation—constant care, genuine engagement with my dog, a perfect routine, and a truly happy, very active dog. I found Kristin after a very thorough search, as it is absolutely essential to me that my dog is not left alone for more than a very short time. She not only respected that—she exceeded every expectation. A big part of my dog’s happiness is her walks, and Kristin took her on long, frequent walks every day. Just as important—if not more—is her feeding routine, which is central to her happiness. She has four main meals per day, plus a small supper and treats in between. I typically combine meals with training and play, and Kristin followed this routine exactly and with great care. Kristin truly engaged with my dog—playing with her both indoors and outdoors, grooming her, and even having her sleep in bed with her at night. She also sent me photos every day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in ways I did not expect—she even bought my dog a new toy and a bag of treats, which says a lot about how much she genuinely cares. I returned to an exceptionally happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. My dog is very perceptive, and it was immediately clear that she had formed a strong bond with Kristin—they were practically inseparable during the stay. On top of that, the house was left very clean and in perfect condition, with everything exactly as I left it. I would trust Kristin again without hesitation and highly recommend her.

About: My husband and I have been our friends and family's designated cat and dog sitter for years. We understand the unique personality of each pet and do our best to provide the best care tailored to your furry baby. We can accomodate pick up time and drop off time between: 8am - 11:30 pm. My husband works from home and I works from home half of the time so we have plenty of time to care for your baby. We usually take two -three walks per day. We can add in more walks if your baby needs more potty breaks. The dogs/cats have free roam of our two bedrooms apt so they can hang out/play with us. We live in an apt building with a dog park right around the corner. We do not have pets at home and are only taking in one dog (with the exception of dogs from the same household) at a time so that we can give your pup the attention he/she needs. P.s. 我可以说中文

Octavia is awesome. She house-sat for us for 2.5 days. It was the first time our dog had stayed without us and he is really anxious. Octavia kept working to get him comfortable, cooked for him, sent us updates constantly and was really flexible in adjusting things to keep him less anxious. Our go-to person for Dudley!

Katie was absolutely fantastic—we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a new sitter. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, taking the time to do a thorough meet-and-greet and really listening to all the details about Tiger—his quirks, schedule, and medication routine. It was clear she was not only attentive but genuinely thoughtful in how she approached his care. During her stay, Katie was incredibly communicative and reliable. She followed all of our instructions perfectly while also incorporating some of her own training techniques—and we actually noticed positive improvements in Tiger after just four days, which was amazing to see. She also treated our home with so much care, leaving everything in pristine condition. She even went the extra mile by taking out the trash and starting laundry, which we truly appreciated. This was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had with a first-time sitter, and we’re so excited to continue working with Katie. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful dog sitter!

Kendall was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of our dog Ruby while we were away on family vacation for just over 2 weeks. Not only did she follow our routines for feeding and regular walks, but she also took wonderful care of our home--everything was clean, tidy, and in amazing shape after her time with us. She left our home in better shape than she found it and was great about sending pics and updates about our pup while we were away. What more could you ask for?! She was a delight to work with--kind, communicative, and with wonderful manners--and we sincerely hope she will watch Ruby any time we have need for a dog sitter in the future!

About: I’m a current Stanford student missing my best friend back home! So I have lots of extra love to give. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs (my sweet girl is 12 years old!). I personally understand how important it is to find a sitter/walker you can truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra company and care, I’ll treat them like my own. I also have experience with senior dogs and working with reactive dogs on leash. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m currently training for a half marathon and would love a running buddy! I'm available all-day from Saturday to Monday for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting. I can also do walks/check-ins after 3pm on Tuesday, Thursday mornings/afternoons, and after 5pm on Fridays. I understand how important walk and play-time is for dogs, so I'll provide the most enriching time possible! I will only care for your pet in your home. Let me know about your dog's schedule and routine and I will accommodate to best fit their needs!

About: Hi! I work from home and have flexibility to watch another dog from time to time. My pup is a golden retriever adopted last year, she is very friendly and knows how to give older dogs their space and has been exposed to younger puppies which she also does well with. I have a perfect backyard for fetching, sniffing and sunny 😎 naps. I have flexibility to watch your pup during weekdays and weekends. I have our dog to care for so it's easy to add another 1-3 to the mix :) I have a large fenced in yard, also live within walking distance to nearby off leash dog friendly parks and natural areas. I have many pet beds and can also provide a crate if needed.

Kimberly was amazing! She found new toys for my cat to play with! She found a better food that my cat actually enjoyed eating! (unlike the healthy foods that I've purchased but weren't accepted by my cat.. sigh) Everything was left clean and tidy. She left me cute notes and food in the refrigerator! Kimberly left my house better than she found it!

Hannah is extremely communicative. She was accommodating in setting up a trial night to make sure everyone would be comfortable when I went away on a longer trip. During my trip, my dog got into some melatonin gummies and Hannah handled it like a champ. She did everything I would have to make sure everything was okay medically, and gave me all of the information I needed to make sure I felt like the site was being handled. I would hire Hannah again
