16. Tahiez T.
About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of the unique needs pets can have. I have a 3-year-old dog with an autoimmune disease (IMPA), so I’m experienced in managing special health conditions and administering oral medications with care. I treat every dog like my own, ensuring they feel loved, comfortable, and well-cared for. Whether it’s following your pup’s routine, providing playtime, or offering extra attention for senior dogs or puppies, I’m committed to giving your pet the same level of care and affection I give to my own. I work at UC Berkeley Monday through Friday, but I'm available for pet care starting at 7pm on weekdays. On my days off, I’m free from 10am to 10pm, including weekends. I follow your pet’s routine closely, whether it’s feeding, medication, or specific care instructions. In your home, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while maintaining their usual schedule. I offer plenty of attention, play, and quiet time as needed, so they feel loved and well-cared for. I'm also comfortable with leash walking for dog-friendly pups, crating if necessary, and offering a safe, stress-free environment for naps or downtime. Additionally, I send follow-up videos and photos to keep you updated, as I understand how important it is for pet parents to have peace of mind.

20. Anny H.
“Anny is like a magical dog whisperer! Our pup, Max, adores her. She showers him with so much love and fun that he's always wagging his tail. Anny is our go-to for pet happiness!”
