House Sitting in Portola Valley

Ian is so sweet and just a wonderful animal lover. Oreo had a a great time with him and I’m sure he’d have liked Ian to stay longer! Thank you so much!

Michele had excellent communication, pictures and diligence. Highly recommend!

Katie is absolutely outstanding! She has an incredible ability to create a serene and calming atmosphere in our home, putting our furry friends at ease. She goes above and beyond to show her genuine care for our beloved pets. Her unwavering dedication is evident in everything she does, ensuring that our furry companions feel loved and cherished in every possible way.

Stephen was fantastic! He was thoughtful and detail oriented, very easy to communicate with, and sent tons of great pics of Moose throughout the stay. Came home to a happy Husky and a tidy house.

Julie Mae is the best! My pup is so excited to see her, full body wags and dolphin jumps just at the sight of her coming up the walk. She takes wonderful care of Mycroft, letting her get her energy out or just nap, depending what she needs that day. Mycroft always comes out of a day with Juke Mae happy, tired, and better behaved—whether that be walking more calmly in her leash or obeying her commands more consistently. I highly recommend Julie Mae, and I’ll keep calling her whenever we need a sitter.

My goodness, not enough amazing things could be said about Liz and how well she cared for our dog and our home! We found Liz and knew immediately upon meeting her that she would be the perfect fit for our pup - she brought great energy, instantly loved on our girl, and asked great questions to get to know her. Liz was so kind and considerate, both in terms of caring for Margaret and while staying in our home. It is a very vulnerable thing to trust someone to care for your fur baby, but Liz is so knowledgable and cares so much for animals, we were instantly put at ease. Liz was very communicative, was great about sending updates, and set great expectations for care. As she works from home, our girl got the level of attention she is used to, if not more, which is a big deal! Liz followed all care instructions to a T and easily got Margaret more exercise than she normally gets! She even dealt with a bit of upset tummy on her last day with no complaints (thanks again!)! Liz took great care of our home, also a very vulnerable ask of another person. We returned to a very clean home, exactly as we'd left it - but with clean linens, which was very helpful after a long day of travel! Liz was even kind enough to clear off the back patio during an unexpected storm so that we did not have any damage to our things. Liz went above and beyond for both our dog and our home and we are so, so grateful! If you are looking for someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do, Liz is simply the best choice out there! We look forward to having her stay with Margaret again in the future!

We are so lucky we found Thiri to take care of our dog Taco when we are out of town! Taco feels super comfortable around Thiri and has a lot of fun with her! She lived in our house and left everything clean and in perfect condition. Thank you Thiri!

5 Stars from me and another 5 stars from my two doxies. Zoe - you did a fantastic job looking after my two doxies. Your extra tender care and support for Guster is most appreciated. I recommend Zoe and look forward to booking her again in the future.

Amara was a fantastic pet sitter for my chihuahua -- right away my dog felt comfortable with her. Amara is responsible, attentive to the needs of my dog and my requests around her care. She sent me photos and videos of Gigi and kept me informed on how she was doing. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

Lena did a great job managing our home and 3 dogs for a long weekend out of town. She was communicative throughout, made sure all their special needs were seen to, and overall made us feel at ease that everything was taken care of.

Brianna house sat my dog for three nights. She had great communication, our house was exactly as we left it when we returned, and our dog was happy. We will definitely book with Brianna again!

Sumaira was fabulous! She took great care of our young, active dog and our mischievous kitty over the holidays and left our animals happy and our house clean (despite the rain). We really appreciated the frequent photos and check-ins, and her flexibility when we weren’t sure if our flight would get in on time. We would happily have her stay here again!

Maria was excellent! We’d be happy to have her stay with our pup who needs an emotional support human at all times. She went the extra mile with our anxious boy keeping him company while eating (and sharing lots of treats). She’s a great communicator and asks great questions. Maria and our pup hit it off fast. We love our boy so much and we could tell Maria provided as much love as we would give him. Thank you Maria!

Stephanie has watched my dog, Tiger, a handful of times now and she has done a phenomenal job. She follows care instructions to a tee, provides regular updates on how my dog is doing while I'm away with photos and videos, and overall is a respectful guest while in my home. I've really appreciated Stephanie's professionalism and attention to detail with my senior pup's care. She is amazing! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
