About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, with more professional sitting services beginning in 2015. I have been able to alleviate the stress of traveling and leaving behind cherished fur babies, which is such a great feeling. Why stress them out if you can have reliable and loving care in home. I work a job that is semi flexible, allowing for me to travel to your home when needed. I work remotely once or twice a week and I’m happy to stay in your home to care for your babies. I’m the type of person that will want to know how you care for your pet. I want to care for your pet as similarly to as possible, without interrupting, usual routines. I’m very flexible about schedules.
“Danielle had been such a great source of support for walking my dog when I have been traveling. She is so communicative and goes above and beyond to help and I can’t ask for a better person to take care of my dog when I am away.”
“Ruth is absolutely phenomenal! She’s incredibly attentive to our dog Bucky’s needs and keeps us informed with thoughtful updates. It’s clear how excited Bucky is every time he sees her for a walk. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Mara was fantastic! She was able to take my request last minute and was super flexible. She had great communication and contacted me before the walk to ask for instructions and specific requests. Mara was on the spot punctual for the time she had to pick up my pups. My pups had a great walk with her and she took lots of pictures of them having a great time. Overall Mara was great and I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”
“Cesia is always very caring and attentive to my Kolachi. She treats her as her own and makes her feel loved. Cesia is also very supportive of my neuroses with my dog or new kitten and is always accommodating to any of my needs. I rebook time and time again. Thank you.”

“Dawn has taken such great care of Wavy! When Wavy did not want to get off of the couch one day, she reached out asking if Wavy had a favorite treat to help. This is just one of the many ways her extensive experience with animals showed through. ❤️”
About: Hello, my name is Mira and I am graduate student studying Sports Performance Psychology. I am a retired athlete that still lives an active lifestyle and I would love to play with your dogs! Caring for dogs is really fun and is a stress reliever for me! I understand that caring for dogs is a big responsibility and I am up for the challenge! I used to have a dog at my parents home that I used to care for regularly which gives me experience while caring for your furry friends! I have experience with raising puppies as well. I am very excited about this opportunity, and hope you will choose me to care for your pups!! I use dog walking as a fun activity and 2nd source of income. I’m a basketball coach and graduate student. I’m mostly available early mornings and afternoons. I check the app frequently for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stay. I treat them as if they’re my own. I also try not to disrupt their daily routine so I abide by the parents rules closely.
About: I’ve had dogs, my whole life from puppy to elderly life. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a broad range of skills. As a dog owner myself, I am responsible, energetic, and take all the precautions necessary. I know how to read body language on dogs, so I tend to always be on the safe side. I love senior dogs & can also tend to those needs. I have Friday’s off so I am only free Friday through Sunday (6am-11pm). Anytime during the week would have to be after 6pm for check-ins or walks. I have a dog park in my apartment home and live in a safe neighborhood. I do not let dogs free roam or off-leash unless I know the park is empty. No matter how trained your dog is, I am also aware of other dogs around that may not be so well trained!

About: I am a 24 year old tax professional in the Menlo Park area. I am a trustworthy athletic dog sitter/walker with a love for animals. I am available weekday afternoons and weekends. I used to play college softball so I am physically fit/active and love to go on long walks or runs multiple times a day. I grew up with two of my own dogs, a chocolate lab (105 lbs) and a Yorkie Maltese mix (15 lbs) , that are two very different sizes. They required me to feed them three times a day, let them out to use the restroom every two hours, walk them at least once a day, and play fetch with a ball or frisbee to get them tired enough for bed. These skills are some of the things I would be doing with the dogs I sit/walk. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. Each day, I make time for feeding, walking, and playing with my pet to support their health and happiness. I also handle weekly tasks like cleaning and monitoring their well-being. I'm available on weekends, which gives me extra time to focus on their care and spend quality time together. I like to follow the rules of the home that I house sit for. Keeping the same schedule and rules usually helps the transition for the pet and minimize any form of separation anxiety for the dogs.
About: Dentist and Petsitter :) | have grown up surrounded by animals, I had a dog all my childhood and I took care of my grandparents' pets. I relate very well to animals and I am extremely careful and affectionate. I can take care of your pets every day, week day or weekend, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-loved while keeping your home secure, clean, and respected.
