About: I've helped take care of a variety of dogs since childhood, I raised two puppies into their adulthood, and occasionally will help at pet shelters. I currently work in the San Francisco School District and am generally available from 4:00pm to midnight. I'm also available all day on the weekends. In my client's home, I will be mindful of the house rules and etiquette. I will write straightforward and honest notes of how I've taken care of the pet(s) and what their behavior was like during my visit.
About: (I go by my middle name Miko as well) Throughout my life, I've been in contact with many different animals-from parrots to lizards, bunnies and guinea pigs. I've had the most experience with cats since I volunteer at my local animal adoption center and shelter in feline support. My dog experience is helping out walking or staying overnight with my friends' fur babies (senior or otherwise) if they are away. I cannot provide dog or cat boarding :(! I am currently a full time college student but I have plenty of time to spare with your pets! I am available during the day or overnight on weekends. On weekdays, I am available after 5pm and I am able to stay overnight on certain week days. I always try to make sure to stick to your pets regular routine to help them adjust to this new person taking care of them. I always want to take care of not only their physical well-being but their mental wellbeing!
“Julia did an amazing job taking care of our little puppy on New Year’s Eve. Would recommend her for anyone who’s looking for extra care attention for their family member.”
“Christina took excellent care of our four cats: Shelby, Smokey, Felix and Roxy. Our cats loved her, which is unusual for them meeting someone new. They crowded around her for treats and pets. Christina took some time to play with Felix and Roxy with their favorite toys, which they loved. We will happily work with Christina again when we are away.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and German shepherd & an Aussie. I am well experienced with furry animals. Treat teach one as family I am currently working a part time job. I mostly do morning shifts so I’m available after. I take care of my own dogs daily I’d treat each furry friend like they were my own at home. With up most respect & engagement from me. As well as respect home
“Zoe was great with our senior long haired kitty. She was responsive, adhered to instructions, prompt, and cared for our furball. Would recommend her to others.”
“Great job again! Cats are so happy when they get to see Cathy again! And I love coming home knowing that everything is under control. So glad that I found Cathy!”
About: Experienced pet parent to both dogs and cats with years of caring for friends' and neighbors' beloved companions. I provide attentive in-home sitting, overnight care, and enjoyable walks. I've successfully leash-trained older dogs and I love giving pets the exercise and affection they need. Your loved ones will receive the same care I give my own pets - consistent attention, plenty of play time, and a comfortable environment that feels like home. I work (mostly) at home. My own dog gets 4-5 walks per day during the week. Weekends are variable, but I try to have her outside for a good bit of the day. I live in an apartment. Outside time will have to be under my control when we go out for walks and pee breaks. Others' dogs can be crated if that's what makes them comfortable, but I typically let them hang out with my dog around the apartment. My dog is a voracious eater, so if other dogs are slow eaters, I'll have to separate their food (and maybe them for a bit) from my own.
“Jana was fantastic and took excellent care of my cat for drop-in visits! My cat is usually hides from sitters, but it seems like she warmed right up to her and was happy when I came home. Thank you!!”
About: I grew up caring for a variety of animals and love working with all of them. Dogs and cats of all breeds, personalities, and sizes are welcome for my services, including any other types of pets. I understand the body language of dogs and people walking dogs and can spot aggressive behavior. I also have experience with special needs dogs and handling dog-aggressive dogs. I also have veterinary assistance experience with cats and dogs that have medical issues and can adjust accordingly. I will follow the needs of your furbaby and respect their limits. I'm currently working part-time, but I'm more than happy to make time for your pet's needs as needed. However, there will be some working days when I can't walk dogs in the middle of the day With my previous experience in the veterinary field, I am capable of handling any medical or potentially serious issues that may arise. I will also always keep in contact with you if I notice anything out of the ordinary
“Peace of Mind. Vivian cared for my cat Gussie for 2 1/2 weeks. I received daily detailed updates and photos. Vivian provided plenty of care during a 30 to 40 minute visit that included feeding and watering, cleaning , affection, and playtime. Gussie seemed quite content and happy. I definitely would use Vivian’s service again. She is highly recommended. Thank you Vivian from me and my family.”
About: I have quickly befriended many four-legged creatures over the years. I especially love dogs, like many people do, and I am very detail-oriented, always doing my best to ensure they are safe and don't ingest something they shouldn't, on walks and at home. I have always researched what's best for my pet before making decisions which has provided me with vast insight and knowledge on the needs of pets. I enjoy exercising and playing with pets so yours will get plenty of exercise and love! I am able to dedicate time to care for pets with walks and drop-ins. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday mornings until 1pm, and Saturdays and Sundays after 4pm. My dog gets 3-4 walks per day, her food is planned out, she gets brushed 1-2 times per week, and is bathed regularly. She is on a consistent schedule, except for pets, cuddles, and playing which can happen at any moment.
About: Many animals like to get close to me when they see me. Even if they are fierce, when they see me, they will naturally get close to me when they see me smiling. My time is very flexible and can be arranged according to your needs. So if any client needs help suddenly, they can contact me. Thank You. I need to understand the personality of the pet I take care of. Secondly, when I go to the client's home, of course I will check whether the pet has eaten and drunk water, whether I want to take it for a walk, etc. After that, I may play some games that it likes with it.
