About: I'm a stay at home mom with two kiddos in school. I also have a 15 year old fur baby. My schedule is very flexible. I've been raised around animals my whole life. I have an older pup at the moment but I've had cats, fish, turtle, birds, etc. I have fostered two dogs who went to loving homes. I have also took care of friends and families animals while they were away. I enjoy playing with animals and taking care of them.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, including caring for cats and dogs. I’ve helped care for family dogs and raised my own cat, Salem, since he was a kitten. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, giving attention, and creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. I am currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can provide regular check-ins, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I prioritize safety, patience, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, respect their home and routines, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and receiving loving care.

About: I am a pet parent myself of a 9 year old Australian cattle dog. With experience in walking, bathing and active playing with large dogs. I’m currently looking for better job opportunities. During this transition would love nothing more to take care of your fur babies with available care during work week days after 11am . Both available both for dog walking and drop-in’s so your pets will never feel alone! As a pet owner it is crucial that our pets stays safe. Double checking everything before heading out for the day and that your pet is set when you return. This to includes me be very vigilant on walks. But I to make sure your pet is set after a good walk putting things properly back in its place. Taking all the precautions as if they were my one pet.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, including large dogs weighing 100+ lbs, and I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, attention, exercise, and plenty of love. I’m responsible, attentive, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. Your pets’ safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands. ❤️🐶🐱 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, and pet sitting. I’m also comfortable following your pet’s usual routine so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship not just the basics. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I follow each pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, playtime, and care instructions closely. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, especially with shy or nervous animals. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they receive plenty of companionship, attention, and enrichment while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾

About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. 🐾 Important Note: To ensure a safe, comfortable, and manageable environment for our resident dogs and guests, I strictly only accept dogs under 40 lbs. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue French bulldog and poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. Panda: My energetic 5-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity Consistent Supervision: My husband and I both work hybrid schedules and take turns working from home. This means one of us is home the vast majority of the time to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attentive care. Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.

About: Experienced dog handler and bather while in training to become a groomer! I am experienced with dog behavior, medication administration and overnight shifts. I have a calm approach with all dogs! I love the big softies with all my heart and the little guys never fail to steal my heart. Every dog amazes me with their intelligence! I have also successfully trained a German shepherd with my family and I would be happy to talk about giving your pups a bath while sitting. I currently work as a bather (on my way to grooming academy next month!) and I would love to house sit on the side (overnights and weekends mostly) and as an added bonus I can give your pawesome pets a bubbly bath during house sitting! I will always come with a doggy first aid kit and knowledge of dog/pack behavior, and I have been trained to break up dog fights in the event of any instances out in public or at home.

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up, I had one beloved dog for 15 years, and now I'm a proud dog mom to an energetic 2 year old pitbull mix. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've helped friends and family members by looking after their dogs and other animals. Throughout my life, I've owned and cared for a variety of pets, including birds, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, and fish, giving me experience with many different personalities and care needs. I truly adore animals and will make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am especially understanding and patient with dogs that have behavioral challenges, as I have experience with a pup who can be a handful at times. Every pet is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, caring, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. If there is anything I should know that will make you and your dog more comfortable, please do not hesitate to be specific! I am an educator and I am currently off for summer break from June-July so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities while caring for them in your home. I will carefully follow your instructions and maintain your pet's normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are properly secured, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and make sure they have access to fresh water, meals, and any medications they may need. I will also respect your home and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Your dog’s vacation starts when you leave! I’ve been my family’s designated dog sitter for the past 8 years—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve cared for my grandma’s Maltese while she’s spent months in Mexico, and I’ve also loved taking care of my sister’s German Shepherd and Goldendoodle. Big or small, fluffy or goofy, I treat every dog like family (because that’s exactly what they are). Expect lots of love, playtime, and a few extra compliments. Fair warning though…your dog might come back with a new favorite human 🙌 Currently in between jobs so definitely don’t mind spending my free time with dogs. Could do part time or full time if needed right now. I’m big on cleanliness indoors or outdoors, fitness/fun activities since I’m a fit person myself, and just enjoying quality time with any dogs

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind and grew up with them since I was young. Animals have always been part of my everyday life. I have experience with senior dogs up to 15 years old, dogs recovering from surgery, and cats with different personalities. I always adjust my care to meet each pet’s needs. My dog gets along well with both dogs and cats, and since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention and supervision. We have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet hillside area with very little noise or traffic, which helps keep the environment calm. I work from home, so I’m usually around throughout the day. Pets are never left home alone. When a new dog arrives, I don’t rush introductions. On the first day, I usually keep them physically separated so they can get used to each other’s scent and presence. On the second day, I allow controlled sniffing and short, supervised interactions. By the third day, I continue observing and adjusting based on their comfort level. Most dogs settle in naturally with this gradual approach. Their safety and comfort matter most to me - it’s important that they feel secure in a new environment. I never leave pets loose together without supervision. If we ever need to briefly step out, we have play pens and crates to safely separate them.

About: I have pet training experience. Im training my own dog. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience, supporting early puppy training, and helping pets build good habits through positive, consistent routine. I treat every pet like family with genuine love. I am working from home. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day and play time. My work schedule is flexible and I live near a park to take your dog for a nice walk. I also have longlines so your dog would have the freedom to explore at the park with control and safety. Pets staying with me enjoy a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of fresh air. My own playful, well‑mannered dog makes a great built‑in buddy for social dogs who enjoy company. I always supervise play to make sure everyone feels safe and has a positive experience. Inside the home, pets have a calm, clean space to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, and exercise routines closely so their stay feels familiar and stress‑free. Whether a dog needs active playtime, quiet cuddles, or a mix of both, I adjust my care to match their personality and comfort level.

“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs & cats of all shapes and sizes since I was 10 years old. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their beloved pets because they know I treat every animal like family. I'm a current college student, so days I do not have classes or work I am free! I can do things from walks to house sitting- as I can do my assignments online. I have a routine I stick to with my pets, so you can trust I will stick to yours word-by-word! I have 3 rescue animals, one cats and 2 dogs. One of my dogs was a rescued lab beagle, and I know exactly how to work around his quirks! My other dog is deaf- so I do have experience waking him up gently!

About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.

“Paola was reliable and respond to messages quickly. Will definitely keep her as one of our regular dog walker.”
