Analyn did a wonderful job caring for our beloved cat Fion while we were gone for two whole weeks. We received lots of photos and updates and loved that Fion could walk around and hang out in different places rather than being in a kennel or "cat condo" for two whole weeks. Unfortunately, a cat sitter who drops by the house doesn't work for us because Fion ruins the house if she is left alone. So being able to leave Fion at Analyn's house works out very well for us. We highly recommend iThink Pet to other pet owners! read more

My husband and I were so fortunate to find iThink Pet in 2016 when searching for a new cat sitter on Yelp, after we moved to San Leandro. We had excellent cat sitters for several years (but were moving to a new location where they no longer could serve) so we were very anxious to find the "right fit". The search was over upon meeting Analyn Carino. She was kind, personable and passionate about her business. We also thought it was wonderful this was a family run business where her brother, Jason, would also be working with us. We have found Jason and Analyn's associates to be very attentive to our last minute cat sitting needs and requests. This is one of their greatest strengths, their excellent communication and responsiveness. Daily photos, and daily texts to keep us informed! Wow! When they arrive at our home to watch over Loke, our flame-point short hair Siamese and Mocha, our black medium hair tabby, they work extra hard to ensure we can have peace of mind while we are out of town. From these daily updates, summaries and taking photos of our fur babies to taking in our packages that arrive at our front step as well checking our mail, they are professional, dedicated and easy to work with. We appreciate their concern and gentle treatment of Loke and Mocha, as if they were their own pets, which is one of our top priorities in retaining pet sitting services. We highly recommend Analyn, Jason and the iThinkPets team. If you ever have a question, feel free to reach out to myself through Yelp as we would proudly provide a referral! We welcome questions and happily available to share our own personal positive stories and experiences after working with iThinkPet since 2016. They are wonderful and Loke and Mocha love them like family. Thanks so much Analyn and Jason! We iThinkPet! read more

See all

Analyn and Jason are amazing!! They handled our cat sitting and some emergency dog walking over 2.5 years and were absolutely amazing to work with. I can't thank them enough!! read more

Wow! Anaylyn is awesome! I was looking for someone to help me train/walk my new addition, Silvie doesn't have the best walking etiquette - pulling, criss-crossing, barking at other dogs, etc. I was hoping by walking her with my little "cor-gle", Lulu that she would follow along and learn from her...unfortunately, that hasn't been the case and Ive been having to walk them separately and inconsistently which has been sad for all. When i contacted Analyn i told her the issues and she emphasized she was not a trainer but would be more than happy to do an assessment. I figure she has experience with walking all types/sizes of dogs that she'd have the 'know how' to better walk Silvie and THAT she did. On her first visit, she watched me walk Silvie and then walk with 2 dogs to understand the issues...and walked Silvie herself....thank goodness she said she could work with her! Analyn definitely has a gift...after the 1st visit, i could already see a difference in Silvie and her wallking...i know partly it has to do with me properly handling Silvie but i definitely don't have the patience which Analyn does....Silvie loves her and whimpers every time she leaves and weekly visits... I know in time, I'll eventually walk 2 dogs with ease and we can all have an enjoyable walking/bonding time. For now, I appreciate iThink Pet's help in walking Silvie so that i can walk my other baby and enjoy the leisure walk. I highly recommend her! read more

We are so pleased with our experience with Jason. We found them on Yelp. We are very private about our home and were reluctant to try total strangers. I AM SO PLEASED WE DID. We have three cats. Jason scooped out litter, fed them, left them fresh water every day. Played with them too. He sent text/pictures every day. He also watered my small back yard. I Strongly recommend this company. We will definitely use them again. Thank you guys so much. read more

I'm so blessed and grateful for iThinkPet! Analyn and Jason have been watching our herd of cats for the last four years when we go away, and I'm so appreciative for all they do! We email the requested dates for their services and always get a quick response confirming the days. And then a few days before the scheduled visits, they send a reminder email confirming the dates and who will be providing the services for each visit. iThinkPet feeds our cats and provides fresh water, they clean all the litter boxes and any messes the cats have made, and they will even bring in the mail. They send pictures of our fur babies and updates with every visit, and most importantly, provide me with peace of mind knowing that such great people are watching over our cats. We even feed some stray cats and they give them food and water with each visit. I truly can rest easy knowing they are there for our cats! Can't thank you enough iThinkPet! Chrissy and Aaron Murphy read more

Recently went on vacation for a week and decided to try iThink Pet. Analyn quickly responded to my inquiry and set up a meet & greet right before our trip. She was a natural and made friends with our pit bull, Roxie, instantly! During our vacation, I felt at ease that Roxie was in excellent care as Analyn sent updates with pictures! Roxie looked so happy in the pics, which was really comforting to see. I would definitely call on Analyn again in a heartbeat! read more

I am so happy that we chose iThink Pet! When we realized our daily dog care situation wasn't going to work on Tuesdays, we contacted Analyn to see if she would work with our schedule and take the dogs out for a quick walk mid-day. She was incredibly professional and responsive to all of our questions. She planned a meet-and-greet to see our two dachshunds and from that day on, she has been incredibly helpful, flexible, and kind to our dogs. Not only does she deal with two noisy dachshunds, she goes over and beyond to make sure the dogs get their needs met! One time, it was raining and instead of only taking the pups out to do their business, she spent her time playing fetch with them indoors so they still got a bit of a break! We couldn't be happier with iThink Pet and Analyn! I always look forward to text updates and/or pictures of our pups when they're on their walks. We know they are in safe and able hands. read more

It's been a pleasure working with Analyn and her brother Jason In taking care of my dog and fish while gone 10 days. This was not our first time using their services. From the initial visit, second visit and when Jason dropped off the keys everything went smooth and while on vacation I felt 100% sure everything was going well from the daily updates. Another plus was all my fish were alive and did not seemed stressed out. I'm definitely calling them again when we go on vacation. Thanks Jason for walking Bailey. She can be tough sometimes but I know you had it. read more

I have been so pleased to find an excellent cat-sitter in Analyn. My high strung aging tonkinese kitty cat likes her too! Analyn is easy to work with. I highly recommend her. read more

iThink Pet and Analyn are great! I actually needed to board my cat, Wilson, last minute, so I initially called the Woof Pack (another high rated business on Yelp). Unfortunately, Woof Pack was completely booked, but the representative referred me to iThink Pet, highly recommending their services, so I gave Analyn (The owner) a call and she luckily had an opening! The service was A++! iThink Pet is pretty much handled by Analyn, herself, as well as her 2 children who also seem very receptive and respectful to animals (definitely an animal-loving family). She is very thorough as to when and what to feed your pets, what their habits/personalities are, and how to handle any situation. She also texts/calls, updating you on how your pet did that day, and sends many pictures, which definitely kept me at ease on my trip. On top of that, the rates are reasonable! Now, finally at home, Wilson is comfortable and happy, and I'm sure he was well taken care of. If I leave town again, I will be sure to contact iThink Pet again! read more

Been meaning to leave a review for the longest time, I keep forgetting! I would like to say it has been a wonderful experience since I chose IThink Pet! I have been using Analyn for a couple of years now. I have a busy work schedule and I know I can rely on Analyn for walking my little Yorkie on last minute basis. Love how she sends me pics and info when she walks my little one. Thank you so much Analyn for being part of our lives! My little one means everything to me, and it means so much that I can count on you to make sure he gets his walks in when I work late! read more

This is our first time using a pet sitting service for our cat. We were wary about letting strangers into our home while we'd be away at first, but the high ratings for iThink Pet allayed our fears. Analyn was very accommodating of my schedule when she came over for an initial consultation and to pick up spare keys to our house. Jason gave daily email updates with digital photos of our cat and did a great job caring for him. He also took in the mail every day and watered our plants once a week. He took the initiative of doing a full litter change when he felt it was necessary. Very great and helpful service, and highly recommended. I will definitely use them again next time we're out of town. read more

Jason was so awesome with all 5 of my dogs for house calls- even my male chihuahua who struggles trusting strangers that enter our home quickly learned to enjoy Jason's visits. He really made sure my dogs were very well taken care of while I was away for a few days and always kept everything so clean and tidy. This was my first time leaving my pets under the care of someone other than family, and I must say I am so glad I chose iThink Pet. I will definitely be contacting Jason again the next time I need him!! read more

I started using iThink Pet services last month. My wife and me were going on a 2 weeks getaway to South Africa (highly recommended for lovers of the outdoors) and we were in a need of pet sitter since ours was not available. I contacted them and we were able to setup a "meet and greet" appointment on the following day. Initially, I was worried about leaving our baby with an outsider but after Analyn had some bonding time with Zeus I felt at ease. What I really loved was that we were getting email updates (with photos) while we were away. For the cost I must admit the service was great. Overall, we are very happy that we found iThink Pet and would highly recommend them if you are in a need of a nurturing and dependable pet sitter. Analyn is second to none when it comes to love, caring and knowledge about pets. read more

Analyn has been the perfect find since my husband and I travel alot. We have 2 cats and a puppy who Analyn is a pro with. After trying her out a few times I am comfortable and confident to give her my house keys when I travel for long periods (1 mo). She is reliable responsible and goes above and beyond. She even thoroughly cleaned up the mess my cats made in the bathroom while I was gone. You can tell she is passionate and loves animals. She will also send photo updates which really help when your away from you're pet-family. Def recommend her! read more

Analyn and her brother Jason took great care of our two kitties while I was away for 10 days. They sent me daily updates of our kitties and were very flexible with pre-vacation scheduling. They also offer very reasonable rate for their excellent service. I'd recommend iThink Pet to anyone! :) read more

What would I do without ithinkpet... I started boarding my Maltese, Yuki, with Analyn for a year now. She goes out of her way to provide her clients with excellent service... Her prices are very reasonable and her 2 kids are such great helpers. They truly care about your lil ones. While you're away, Analyn will put your mind at ease by updating you with text messages,pictures and even videos... If you're looking for a place to board your pets, look no further... You'll be happy with ithinkpet!!! read more

Analyn is awesome. She always comes through for us in a pinch! Her rates are a little high for my liking, but that's pretty average in the bay area. She takes care of my two cats very well, giving them equal attention, even when one is an attention whore. read more

I am so grateful for the services of iThinkPet! I am such a nervous pet mom, and Analyn, Moanzelle and Jason put my mind at ease with the great care they provide for my cats. They send updates and pictures from each visit and even feed the outside cats we have been caring for and feeding. They clean the litter boxes and tidy up any mess the cats have made. They are so amazing and I know I can rest easy when they are watching over my cats. read more

Review is long overdue! I was in a pinch and needed my rabbit boarded for an extended period of time. We had just moved to the area and no longer had friends to babysit the bunny. so I searched online and found iThinkPet. I called iThink Pet and Analyn was super friendly and agreed to take Emerson (our rabbit) - even though my request was soo last minute. While we were gone, Analyn kept us updated via email and also sent us youtube videos of Emerson getting supervised playtime in the backyard - he was having a blast - running around in the video and doing happy bunny binkies. It was great to know Emerson was getting such individualized care. And while we haven't recently needed any more extended bunny boarding (good friend moved to where we live and takes the bun when we are gone) we are thinking about getting a dog soon and would definitely use Analyn! (lol, it's harder to convince friends to take in a dog for a week vs. a fuzzy tiny bunny for a week). read more

Analyn is super professional, prompt, and reliable. If she promises to take care of something for you during your vacation it will get done. Reasonable rates too, right at what I've discovered are the average for this industry. Very flexible during the pre-vacation scheduling and coordination for intros to our cats. Thank you for watching over our little furry ones! read more

This review is way overdue but if anyone ask me for pet sitting or walking, I always say iThink Pet! Jason watched our two dogs while we were away on vacation and he did such a great job. Always checked in and sent us picture. We have two dogs, Rottweiler and chihuahua and they loved Jason! I can't thank you enough for the great service you provided! read more

Analyn has been simply amazing! She has cared for our cat on a few occasions and we feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our cat in her care. She sends updates regularly, including pictures and videos. We will absolutely be using her again! read more

We are extremely happy to have found Analyn to take care of our pets. We have 5 dogs and 4 cats... that's right, 9 pets all together! We are the furry Brady Bunch!! They range from 85 pounds to 4 pounds and 12 years old to 3 years old. Analyn is wonderful with all of them. She was the first pet sitter we interviewed and we stopped looking after we met her! We knew right away she would be the right person for our furry kids. Her interaction with all the dogs were excellent and it made us feel very comfortable and confident in her ability to care for our pets in our absence. We have not regretted our decision. Analyn is very professional and extremely responsive. We get regular updates and she accommodates our senior dogs special needs. It's a good feeling to know someone is there for our pets when we are away, and we can actually relax on our vacations and worry less about them - because to be honest we will always worry about our pets, even when we are with them! Analyn is the next best thing to us being there! We cannot thank her enough for taking such excellent care of our pets. If you are looking for a caring and reliable person to help care for your furry kids, we would highly recommend Analyn. Our furry kids love her! read more

Analyn is the absolute BEST!!! I called her the day before we were supposed to leave on vacation and she came over that very night to meet my cat. Her services are perfect! She emptied the litter box, fed our little Ricky, and even played with her every day. She also brought in our trash cans on trash day which was a big concern of ours as we had no idea how we were going to get that done. She also sent daily updates with pics of Ricky which really set my mind at ease and I fully enjoyed my vacation because I knew my cat was in good hands. Oh, I almost forgot to mention... we gave her the wrong house key!!! So we had to call a locksmith to come and make her a new key while we were gone. She stayed at our house until the locksmith arrived and still did everything she was there to do even though she had already been there so long. Analyn couldn't be more perfect! our expectations were far exceeded! Plus, she has the most reasonable pricing too! All around great experience. Highly recommended!!!!!!! A+++++++ read more

Analyn did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away for a few days for work. She began with an initial meetup to see if she was the right fit for the job and immediately fell in love with my cats. I decided to send my cats to her for pet boarding. During the stay, she regularly updated me of how the cats were and what they did. I totally appreciated the daily update. She let the cats roam free in her home and treated them as one of her own. Analyn totally displayed professionalism and lots of love for my pets. Her rates are reasonable as well. I will definitely bring my cats back to her whenever I need to be away for a few days. read more

This was my first time using a pet sitter. Analyn was great. She was professional and I felt my cats were in good hands while I was away. She did exactly what was promised. When I need a pet sitter, or am asked if I know a good one, I'm using Analyn and iThink Pet. read more
