Dog Sitters in East Palo Alto, CA

Bonnie

I just joined this service and I am so pleased I selected Bonnie to sit for our sweet boy, Roger. She is an excellent communicator, very patient, kind, reliable and thoughtful. Roger is a skittish cat, but came around for some 1:1 time with her! Bonnie was so sweet to send a photo now and then and provide an update. I knew not only Roger but our home was in good hands. Everything was in great shape when I returned. She even paid special attention to our plants and we exchanged texts about them, one in particular that a bug family tried to take over. Will hope the next time we travel Bonnie is available. Highly recommend her!

Kristen

Kristen was great! Super communicative, very respectful and most of all my cats seemed happy when I came home and the apartment was clean. Would welcome having her stay in my home again.

LaCona

Lacona and Cisco were really wonderful and our girls seemed very comfortable around them almost instantly. Lucy and Sally were taken to the beach, the river, and on some really fun hikes. They even did some workouts going up and down our very steep driveway and ball fetching in the Pawj Mahal (the name of our dog play area). Lucy and Sally even received some training and we have continued to reinforce the very good behaviors they learned. We received great pics from Lacona and Cisco while they were on their adventures and pics of very tired and happy dogs. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and I think a little sad to see Lacona and Cisco leave. Our home was also well cared for. We hope Lacona and Cisco will sit for us again soon!

April Joy

April Joy did an incredible job caring for Rue. Communication was seamless, and Rue was kept well fed and exercised. Would highly recommend for future sits, and would love to have her back in Oakland again to watch Rue.

Mikell

She was a lovely petsitter and guest. This was only the second time having a zeewoi in our home so we too are learning the ropes but Mikel was great with communication and updated me daily in the boys, kept the house tidy and I loved that she was welcomed into the community and explored our neck of the woods. She spent the night the night before we left and the night we returned because we had early departure and late arrival and she was a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be inviting her again.

Yingtong & David

Amanda and David loved our dog like she was their own dog. They sent regular updates and photos of our dog on walks and cuddling on the couch. They took care of our numerous house plants. They left the house incredibly clean, taking the initiative to clean bed linens, etc. We appreciated their dog/house sitting and are so grateful for the care they showed for our dog.

Pablo

These two were great! I have zero complaints. Would highly recommend!

Richard

Richie was a dear! He came to meet me and the dogs before the sit and it made it a seamless transition. I hope he is back in the area again soon!

Sylvia

Sylvia and her family were excellent caretakers of our home and our dog, Hugo. The house was left in better shape than we left it, and Hugo was clearly well exercised and happy. She communicated well with us ahead of and during the trip, sending us picture of Hugo while we were away and missing him. Couldn't recommend enough!

Jennifer

Jennifer arrived early to meet my girl, Winnie. Winnie is very shy with new people and Jennifer was very patient with her and before too long they were good friends. She sent photos and was extremely responsive when I reached out.

Ruth

Ruth is kind, thoughtful, reliable and respectful. Oliver and Zoey were very comfortable with her presence in our home. She responded promptly to my text and sent photos. Communication is great. I would fully recommend Ruth for your pet sitting needs. I hope Ruth will come back and stay with my fluffy ones soon.

Brian

Brian is an awesome housesitter and he did a great job taking care of my cats and my home for almost a month. During the time he was here at my house the island experienced a pretty big storm and the power was out for over 48 hours. (This hasn't happened in many years so it was very unexpected.) Brian was cool and calm throughout. I think I was more worried than he was. Brian is an excellent communicator; he responded quickly any time I texted. He sent adorable videos of my two cats who totally fell in love with him. In fact, they are still sleeping on the guest bed as I write this, hoping Brian will come back. And I hope he will return to sit for us again some day soon.

Ross

Julie was just fabulous!

Very conscientious and caring, Julie made us feel very relaxed from the outset and from early interactions, our pets were very happy to see her.

Julie kept us updated throughout our weekend away, nothing was too much trouble and we were delighted that she enjoyed staying in our house with our animals.

Would highly recommend to anyone, and would definitely love to use Julie again.

Amy

Mickie is fantastic. I have never felt more secure leaving my dogs with someone we didn’t know well. She came early enough to meet them and learn their routines before I left. My house was cleaner than when I left! I will definitely have Mickie stay again. Such an asset to this awesome service. Do not hesitate to invite her to watch your home and pets. She is the best!!

Laure

Tracy stepped in when I needed a sitter on short notice and was terrific! She was very responsive, came by to meet Zazie before the sit and kept to her routine, including ensuring that she got plenty of exercise. Tracy also took great care of my home, kept me updated on how things were going, and was flexible with my scheduled return time which was much appreciated - thank you Tracy!
