Hi! My name is Danielle and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. After working in the professional veterinary field for 10 years, I decided to pursue my love for pet sitting full time. I am comfortable with animals of all species, breeds, and temperaments, as well as those with special needs. I have many years of experience working in specialty and emergency veterinary medicine. I also have training in animal CPR and am comfortable giving medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids. I have been caring for animals since I got my first dog at the age of 9, and successfully started my own pet care business when I was 14 years old. I have volunteered at the humane society as well as the wildlife center, and I have also assisted with the training of service dogs. I have a great passion for caring for senior animals. My wife, Bianca, is a huge animal lover as well and has been helping me with my pet sitting clients since 2016. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same love and compassion as we do our own! We are bonded and insured. Rates are based off of my experience and background as a licensed veterinary technician.
“Danielle was wonderful! I was given daily updates, with attached photos, in the morning. And typically, I would also get an evening update. My dog, Molly, is a bit persnickety when it comes to eating dinner or taking her medication, so I wanted to ensure I had a caregiver who was used to this. With Dani's training as a Vet Tech, Molly was in great hands! There was one night when Molly was not going to sleep or settling down, and Dani texted right away to ask some follow-up questions and update me. 5/5 stars -- I would highly recommend!”
Hi, my name is Lauren. I have three years of experience working with children (both formal and informal). I have done pickup/drop off for grade school kids, taken them to the library, park, and extra curricular activities. I prioritize creating fun, engaging, and playful environments while taking care of children. I’m currently working full time, during the school year, as a Behavior Technician at Los Altos School District; I have worked in ABA therapy and alongside children with ASD for a little over three years now. I graduated from SJSU in May 2025 with my B.A. in Behavioral Science. If you’d like to see if I have availability that isn’t listed on my calendar, please feel free to reach out and ask! Also open to date night hours/weekends. Look forward to meeting you & your kiddos! :)
“Lauren has been a fantastic caregiver for our girls (4,8) as we adjust to new surroundings in Palo Alto and a new role for me as a student.”

Hello, I have many years of working with children, as a nanny, babysitter, and teacher. I have worked in the past as a nanny for two kids, a five and six-year-old boy and a girl. I also have babysat four boys ranging between ages 2-15. More recently, I took care of a baby starting at 9 months until he was a year old. Furthermore. I have also been a summer teacher for middle school kids ranging from grades 6-7. I speak both Spanish and English fluently. I am very patient and caring with kids as I have worked with children many times. I can provide any references necessary.
“Blanca was super great with my 5 year old. super patient and kind. He was struggling with starting school and acting out but she handled it very well. ”
Hi, My name is Emily and I am currently a part-time freelance tutor for elementary aged children. I am offering child care, senior care, and household cleaning services. I love working in childcare and have previously worked as a summer camp counselor (campers aged 4 to 13) as well as an in-class aide for special needs students and a math and language arts tutor for students aged 6 to 12. I have worked positions requiring school drop-off/pick-up, preparing simple meals for children as well as seniors, engaging children in fun after-school activities and outdoor play, tutoring, housework, running errands, and in-home eldercare--including medication administration, memory care, daily hygiene, and cleaning. I served as my own father's end-of-life caregiver and understand the needs of seniors living out their last years as comfortably as possible in-home. I can engage children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills to improve their academic performance, and I'm good at devising easy, fun games for children to stimulate their creative imaginations. I also have a lifetime of experience caring for cats. I am not as familiar with dog care, but I am happy to learn.
