“Chelsea was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs. She is kind, conscientious and reliable! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned and cared for three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs of all sizes and breeds — from small terriers to larger dogs like pit bulls — and feel confident handling a wide range of temperaments. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

“Coralee was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative and sent beautiful pictures. She really understood my sensitive baby, and he warmed up quickly to her and clearly felt comfortable and safe. Coralee also was patient and responsive when our travel plans got disrupted, and kept my baby company much later than we originally planned. I very highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and pet sitting for families in my community for years. I grew up with cats, chickens, and very large dogs (mastiffs and shepherds), so I’m extremely comfortable with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to dog and cat sitting for neighbors, friends, and families throughout the Half Moon Bay, La Honda, and Pescadero areas, I also have professional experience working with animals. For three years I worked with horses in a therapeutic riding program, where I helped care for and rehabilitate former racehorses and support their training to become therapy animals. What sets me apart is how attentive and communicative I am while you’re away. I truly treat the animals I care for like my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also love sending photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Caring for your pet fits perfectly into my routine, and I’ll try to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I work almost entirely from home, so I have a schedule that allows me plenty of time during the day for walks, visits, playtime, and check-ins. Because I’ve lived locally in the Bay and coastside all of my life, I’m also familiar with the area and can easily accommodate regular visits or longer stays. I additionally love to take pets out for hikes, shorter walks, and other outtings depending on their energy needs—I love looking after adventurers and home-bodies alike. I’m happy to build my schedule around what works best for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walk routines and house rules. I can’t lie, I’m a bit of a neat freak! I leave a home better than I found it. I’m attentive on walks, keep pets safely leashed, and make sure gates, doors, and fences are secure and locked upon leaving your home. I also believe communication is paramount while you’re away. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Katelin was amazing! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she really cared and was attentive the whole time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

“Jaime took great care of our senior dog, who requires medication. We felt at ease knowing someone caring and capable was taking care of our girl!”

About: My family and I had dogs, cats, and rabbits. That was before I started living independently, now I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends or neighbors as a favor, and I noticed it brings me value being able to help others with their pets. I'm proactively looking to train dogs, and train cats to live comfortably with other animals (just basic stuff for now) 🤩 I'm currently working in Real Estate most of my work can be done by phone, laptop or videocall. So usually I'm available to take care of your pet at your place, walk your dog outdoors (my place is not available since my landlord doesn't allow pets) and overnights stay 😄 I like to take your dog for a walk/run, also I like being respectful with the neighborhood by picking up your dog's stuff, at home feed them and play around with them to burn energies 💪🏽. If it's a cat, more than happy to play your cat, feed them and or just pet them on my lap 😁 (I'm not allergic to cats btw 🐈)

“Kiana was great! I was in a last minute panic because my dog Finn got sick and couldnt go to day care, but has separation anxiety so I really needed coverage last minute. Kiana was a big help and flexible, adjusting as needed to help me and Finn get through the worst of it.”

“Luke was extraordinary. Exceptional communication: speedy, clear, and friendly. He was genuinely keen to help everything go smoothly. My dog seemed happy with him, and it was effortless.”

Matt F.

“Dana was an amazing house/dog/cat sitter and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She had to deal with our very high energy puppy, anxious small dog and elusive cat and she did a wonderful job with all three. It was also such a relief to come home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!”

Penny J.

“Evan was great! He was very responsive during my trip. Hurley seems happy and my house was in superb condition.”

Jennifer B.

“Maria is the only person my pets will let in the house. She is wonderful, patient and communicative. We received photos and updates the entire time we were gone. If we go out of town again we definitely know who to call. We highly recommend Maria for all of your pet sitting needs.”

Jaynie A.

“Annelliese has been so thorough, in regular contact while we were away, sent greats photos consistently, and full of love for the dogs! So thankful that we’ve found her! Looking forward to leaving our dogs with her again in a couple weeks! Thanks for all your hard work Annelliese!”

About: Hi, I’m Morgan! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my sweet 3-year-old Maltipoo 🐶 I’ve been dog-sitting for years and genuinely love getting to spend time with all different kinds of pups. I work remotely, so my schedule is super flexible and can easily be tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m also currently getting my master’s degree, and I use Rover to help support my tuition, which makes this something I truly care about and put a lot of effort into. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone to hang out and cuddle with, I’ll be there to give them lots of attention and love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always try to make them feel as safe, comfortable, and happy as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that lightly 💛 Right now, I’m not offering overnight stays in my home since I live with two other dogs, but I’m more than happy to help with: • Walks • Drop-in visits • Staying in your home I’ll follow your routine closely and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for your pup. Just a heads up, I am allergic to cats, so I’m only able to care for dogs. Feel free to reach out with any questions at all. I’d love to meet you and your pup and make sure they feel right at home 🐾 I cater my schedule to your dog’s specific needs! I work from home and spend most of my time with my own sweet pup, so I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and playtime during their stay. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m not offering overnight stays right now since I live with two other dogs, but I’m happy to do walks, drop-in visits, or stay in your house while boarding. I’ll follow any routines or instructions you leave and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m super flexible and can be there when your pet needs me most.

About: A large grassy area in front of the property, several dog beds, dog-friendly neighborhood walks,...ideal for a fun pet overnight stay. I sometimes may have 2 dogs at one time, and 3 would be a rare occasion, though in the past I have had 3 from the same household. I study massage and dog psychology. Dogs who love touch or massages will get plenty of attention. This is a dog-friendly apartment complex with a dog run and a large lawn. Quiet dogs are also allowed on the balcony for fresh air, relaxation, and bird and people watching. About this sitter: I raised two Scottish Terrier litter-mates from puppy-hood and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes or mine for months at a time, and I enjoy walking dogs. I am soft-spoken and very patient. Shy, or sensitive/scared pets often feel comfortable around me pretty quickly. Pets should have joy in their lives so I enjoy giving them extra attention to help alleviate some of the stress when their owners are away. For overnight care at a clients' home, I like to stay as light and self-contained as possible. I'm in this for the love of pets and like to leave as little a footprint as possible! Experience includes: dog owner, cat owner, dog sitting for over 15 different dogs and 4 different cats (up to 6 dogs simultaneously or combo of 2 dogs/2 cats who were housemates). Why I love dog sitting: I made my first dog friend when I was 6 years old. Lalli was a seeing-eye school drop out and the sweetest dog I'd ever met. My aunt already had 2 cats that I loved by that point. I ended up helping a senior dog get past her separation anxiety and she and her folks gained more freedom. About my yard: Large grassy area in front of the house. Dog park nearby with well behaved friendly neighborhood dog regulars. My experience administering oral medication: I have done it and I will do it if a pet is not a biter or scratcher. I cared for 2 dogs during their hospice. I am open to doing that (for animals and humans) at least to help provide respite for the primary caretakers. I am free to spend time with your dogs and/or house sit anytime. Dogs that stay overnight with me will have a day sitter and dog company during the day. I am willing to accept stays longer than one week but we must discuss first to see if my system works for your animals. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby and a large grassy area. I have an afternoon sunning deck, and plan potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Mini-massages and indoor play breaks are available throughout the day between dog naps.

“Darya was an angel stepping in last minute to take care of my lola. She took wonderful care of her and I loved the photo updates she sent while I was away”

Lisa O.

“Harrah did a great job watching our nervous pups! She sent lots of photos and videos every day so I could see how they were doing. She gained their trust and she cared for the dogs very well. They are healthy and happy to see us. We would be happy to hire her again in the future. The photos, videos and daily communication was very helpful for my own anxiety about leaving the dogs with someone new. Thank you so much Harrah!”

“Sumaira was great with our girls and was very communicative while we were away. We really appreciated the pictures and check-ins along with her bringing in our mail and bins. The house was left just as we left it and we had great peace of mind knowing our pups and home were well taken care of. Will definitely use Sumaira again!”

About: I bring over 5 years of dependable, hands on experience with a wide range of pets, from tiny 15 pound pups to 150 pound gentle giants. I’ve cared for senior dogs and cats who needed medication, as well as more exotic animals like birds. Whether it’s a quick visit or a month long stay in my home or yours, I treat each pet like family. I’ve built lasting relationships with many of my clients, some since I first started, and I’m happy to provide references from another caregiver platform where I have multiple reviews. I’m also flexible with rates and happy to work with your budget. My schedule is very flexible, this is all I want to do and I’m free 7 days a week, which allows me to be highly responsive and available for your pet’s needs. I have my own reliable transportation and I am happy to make longer trips if needed. I respond to messages promptly, always keep pet parents updated, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. It will never feel like a chore, and I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I’ve provided in home care for multiple pets over several weeks at a time and always make sure to respect the space, keep it tidy, and send regular updates. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize comfort, safety, and peace of mind for both pets and their people.
