I reached out to Elaine to help take care of my cats over a weekend. She arrived promptly at the…read moreappointed time, dilligently took notes about what needed to be done, asked clarifying questions, followed instructions, and went the extra mile on top of that. She put my trash bins out for me as part of her service, she took care of some feeder mice for my partner's snakes, she emptied litter, she fed wet and dry and kept the big boii from stealing the slower, pickier eater's food. She spent real time with the cats, she did not just enter and leave. She checked in and made sure that she did everything correctly. Elaine is a professional and did an outstanding job. I am a highly satisfied customer and intend to call on her services again when I need them. Cannot recommend enough for anyone in SF.

After scanning the pages and pages of five-star reviews for Elaine and her business, I feel at a…read moreloss to write something that provides additional insight or perspective on how fantastic Elaine is. The reviews here get all the details - deeply caring for your beloved fuzzball, plant whispering, coming back to find the house cleaner than you left it, medication administration, the heartwarming and occasionally hilarious notes... The truth is that it's all been written over and over again; Elaine cares deeply for your pets and your home. Elaine has taken care of my cats since 2014 on more occasions than I can count, and I trust her implicitly. She has demonstrated a level of care for my cats, my plants, and my home that is unmatched by any pet-sitter I've ever known. She is overflowing with compassion and intellect, and she is organized and detail-oriented in a way that is dizzying to contemplate. I remember that, when I moved, she had a system for updating my records so the transition was flawless: new key, new alarm code, house preferences, new garbage night - because yes, she takes out and brings in the garbage! Perhaps one novel perspective I can offer is the deep confidence I have in her ability to figure things out if the unexpected arises. I have taken several long hikes where I am away from any cell coverage for up to three weeks at a time. Before the first of these hikes, Elaine and I discussed some contingencies and made arrangements, including a veterinary care directive and emergency plan. If veterinary care is required, Elaine will be able to address it and advocate for my pets the way that I would. This gave me a comfort that is beyond words when I was off in the wilderness. I know that, if I've forgotten some detail, Elaine will take care of it thoroughly and completely. I have recommended Elaine to everyone I know with a cat, and if you're at all on the fence, don't be - get in touch with her and save yourself and your pets from a "learning experience" elsewhere. Elaine is a true professional, a local small-business-owner who provides a service far superior to any corporation's, and she will impress and endear you in a way that exceeds expectations.

He's gone for a few hours each day, and always comes back very happy and exhausted, sleeping the rest of the afternoon. Deborah is professional, reliable, and very kind. I highly recommend for anyone with a small dog looking for a regular walking group!

We decided to go to Hawaii at the last minute last week and we asked Al to take care of our cats. Despite our last minute request, Al was very accommodating and he did such an amazing job as usual! Our cats were super soft from good brushing when we returned. In addition to taking very good care of our cats, he took very good care of our mail, newspapers, trash collection, etc. Our place was very clean when we came back (one of our cats vomits sometimes and Al must have cleaned them well). He always updates us with nice photos of our cats while we are away and he communicates very well with us. He is very trustworthy and dependable. Also, his charge is very reasonable for all the things he does. I could tell our cats were very happy with Al, as they were quite mellow when we returned. Our cats were quite loud and needy when we had a different sitter. We found Al through Yelp when we desperately needed a new cat sitter. We wanted to write our review to help out those who need a very good cat sitter. We strongly recommend Al for anyone who needs an excellent cat sitter.

My wedding was this past weekend, and of course my family was going to be there, so I had no one else to watch Parker (my lil chihuahua mix, and cutest dog ever!). I was really nervous about dropping Parker off with a stranger until I found out Andrea does dog sitting. She let me come by one night to introduce Parker to her house and I immediately knew I could trust leaving him with her. She sent me text messages and pictures every day showing how well Parker was getting along with the other doggies. Seeing daily pictures really put me at ease and helped me feel better about being away from him. You don't need to think twice about leaving your precious pup with Andrea! Highly recommend her.

Sarah and Tony cared for Buddy for the last several years of his life, not only as a regular dog walking client but also during overnight stays when our travel plans were a bit much for a little old man. We always knew he was loved, having a good time and well cared for. We were lucky to have five wonderful years with Buddy, and this team helped make those years even better. Their care, kindness, and genuine love for dogs showed in everything they did, right up to the very end. We are incredibly grateful they were part of our lives and part of Buddy's. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
