Dog Walking Blacow

About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I have experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and confident while you’re away. As a dedicated pet lover, I structure my daily routine around ensuring the dogs in my care receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of mental stimulation. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pup's regular feeding, walking, and nap schedules without disruption. With 8 years of personal experience raising my own dogs—including a Havanese for 6 years and a dachshund, schnauzer mix for 8 years—I am deeply familiar with managing daily feeding routines and bathroom schedules. I provide a safe, reliable environment by sticking strictly to your instructions, keeping a watchful eye on your pet, and maintaining a predictable, stress-free routine while you are away.

About: Since I was born, I have had pets running around my house and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I have had 5 cats and 3 dogs and I know everything there is to know about taking care of them. I will make sure your pets get the same love that my pets get at home. I don't have a job right now so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets, but I will update my availability when I do find a job. I live in an area with lots of open walking space and places to use the bathroom. There is a park close by with wide open areas that I know pets would love to roam and explore.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, big and small. I’ve had puppies and seniors, I can say I have a real passion for taking care of dogs, be it little guys or big boys they all deserve lots of play time and endless walks. I work hybrid remote but am usually done working at 2, after I make sure my cat is happy I would love to spend some time walking or taking care of some dogs and cats. I always come from a place of mutual respect with animals and people, I’m also someone who comes prepared. I’ll bring snacks for training, cleansers for messes and anything in between.

About: I've been a devoted pet caregiver for 9 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. Over the past year, I've also gained hands-on experience raising my own energetic Border Collie, who is now 10 months old and about 44 lbs. Through daily training, walks, playtime, and caring for a high-energy puppy, I've developed a deeper understanding of dogs' physical and emotional needs. I know that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or senior, I always provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also enjoy sending detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm currently an MBA student and have just completed my first year. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. During the school year, my classes are primarily in the evenings, allowing me to continue providing reliable daytime care with minimal scheduling conflicts. Because I currently rent my home, I'm unable to offer boarding services. However, I'd be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.

“Nancy is simply amazing — truly a beautiful soul. While we were away for three weeks, she took exceptional care of our German Shepherd and gave us complete peace of mind. She consistently went above and beyond, and even took the time to help my mother with our elderly dog as well. We feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to have found Nancy. I sincerely appreciate everything she has done for our family and cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended.”

About: I currently work as a Vet Assistant which means I have plenty of experience handling and caring for cats and dogs. I am familiar with any health issue that may come up with your dog and will promote their well-being. Working in the ER, I know how to deal with many diseases so I can ensure your loved one is well taken care of. I can proficiently administer oral and injectable medications if needed. Aside from my medical background, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors and will therefore ensure that your pet is well taken care of physically through runs, walks, hikes- whatever it is that they enjoy. I've been a dog owner since I was a young kid and have always loved spending time with the four legged creatures. I will ensure that your pet is loved as if they were my very own pet. I work 4 days a week, 10 hours but am still available to drop by if needed either in the mornings or evening or in between work if it’s nearby. I’m mostly available at any time Friday-Sunday, I can set time aside to be fully devoted to your pet. I will ensure they’re as comfortable as they have been when the owner is home. Allowing them to have their routine. I will ensure I don’t disturb their usual spots and allow them to roam as they are allowed regularly.

About: I love meeting and caring for dogs, and i live in a simple and comfortable home for new dogs to come and explore. I have a playful 10 y/o Maltese that makes for a great play date. I work from home and have my own dog, so my home is well set up for fur friends to come and hang out at! I live in a 3BR with my dog. Because I have a dog, the house is doggy proof with no snacks or choking hazards lying around.

About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.

About: Hi! I’ve always been an animal lover and very understanding of animal behavior. Growing up we always had dogs and now as an adult I’m a full on cat lady with two of my own. So you can say I know how to adjust to both whether it’s a crazy puppy or a fiesty cat, I’ve never had an issue. I love my pets like they’re my kids and I hope I can show your animals the same love! I currently have my availability pretty much completely open right now. Other than taking care of my own pets, I can be available to take care of others whenever! I will work with whatever set up and routine you already have for your pet to make sure they are cared for in the best way possible.

About: Hi! I've had pets my whole life, up until moving to SF and I know how to love and care for pets big and small! I have experience walking and watching cats, dogs, small mammals, and reptiles. I've walked dogs as large as a German Shepherd and as tiny as a Chihuahua. I am often complimented that the pups I take on walks come back looking relaxed, happy, and if they're young they come back listening to commands better. I work with dogs on pulling and use positive reinforcement to work on any bad habits the pet parent wants support with. : ) I work fully remote and often find myself with a lot of free time in the day. So what else would be a nice treat than to care for an animal! For dog sitting care that is done in the pet parent home I ensure that I understand and follow any instructions you have for arrival, food, water, crating, and locking up. For day care (no overnight) I have my own personal office in downtown. If the pet isn't super hyper active they can stay with me in my office and I can take them out for walks periodically throughout the day along Embarcadero. For boarding I have my home in the East Bay with a dog run on the side, a fenced in backyard with grass. There are dog parks and walking trails 5-10 minute drive from the house.

“Bella had a wonderful week and was well cared for by Jacqi. She even towel dried and held her after a rainy walk to make sure she was not cold.”

PS. CATS are happily welcomed as well! I only work a part time job and I am not in school, which means I have a lot of time for your fur babies!

This helps me better understand their wants or needs.
