About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always had multiple dogs in my house at a time. Taking care of and walking dogs has always been a staple to my everyday routine and overall life. In the past 4 years my family and I have begun to foster dogs of all different ages, breeds, and personalities. They came in and out of our house often and each dog had different needs you had to accommodate for. The most difficult were puppies, who seemed to be either very shy or very energetic. While the dogs stayed at our house I would take on the task of feeding and walking them and overtime I got better and better. I love to work with dogs and I’m so excited to meet and help more dogs in new areas! I’m currently a full-time student at San Jose State University but I will always make time for you dogs! My best time for walking dogs is Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and anytime Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While for home visits my best times are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my own home but at a client’s home I will make sure to respect any rules and focus on the dog’s needs above any other things. For myself, taking care of dogs at home has always been making sure they’re well fed, well walked, and have everything they need to have a good time.

“Son has been super responsive from the first point of contact. He was able to quickly schedule a meet and greet to make sure your dog is super comfortable with him before he commits. My dog, Benji, is a very nervous dog and Son was able to adapt to his needs and care for him. Son was flexible fast communicating any details and sending on time reports and pictures. He will check in a day prior to the booked service to ensure he got everything. Very easy and very good first experience with Rover. He was able to make the pet owners to feel at ease while been away. Once I returned home everything was good and as we left it and even Benji waited at the door expecting Son to come back and play with him with his favorite Avocado toy and walkies.”

Twyla seemed to warm up to her quickly, even asking for belly rubs, which she does not do for anyone other than her closest humans. Michelle was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of photos.”

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a cattle ranch in a small town in Utah, surrounded by animals of all kinds. From livestock and horses to chickens, goats, potbellied pigs, and multiple family dogs, caring for animals was simply a part of everyday life. Those experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique personalities and needs of different animals from an early age. As an adult, my passion for animals has only grown. I personally trained my own service dog, gaining valuable experience in obedience training, behavior management, consistency, and building strong bonds through trust and communication. Today, I share my home with three amazing dogs: my service dog and her two sisters. After close friends sadly passed away, I adopted her sisters so they could remain together. The girls have been inseparable since they were puppies, and watching their lifelong bond has deepened my appreciation for the emotional connections dogs form with one another. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, structured routines, or plenty of affection, I provide attentive, dependable care and treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is my daily life. With open availablity and work from home it works out great for me as a bay area photographer it gives me the time to spend with the pups with minimal time away. right now, I am taking care of clients for babies at their homes taking them for walks to their favorite places hikes and if the client wants play dates with my girls following feeding and medication requirements and needs for each individual Pup

About: I am an animal lover at heart who always puts animals first because they are not just pets, they’re family! Growing up, I always had multiple pets at a time, and I continue to keep a full house today. My firsthand experience spans dogs, cats, fish, birds, and bunnies of all shapes and sizes. Because I currently own both small and large animals, I am highly comfortable and confident handling pets of any size. When it comes to walking your dogs, my goal is to give them the absolute best time! I tailor every walk to their energy level. Whether they prefer an energetic run, a brisk stroll to explore new smells, or a gentle pace, I make sure their outdoor time is safe, engaging, and packed with love. Over a lifetime of pet ownership, I have cared for several animals with chronic health issues. This has made me very comfortable managing, handling, and safely administering medications to pets who need them. Additionally, my extensive history with animals means I am patient and well-equipped to support senior dogs, helping them get around, stay comfortable, and manage their daily routines. I look forward to giving your family members the dedicated, specialized care they deserve! My schedule is completely open for walks and pet sitting! Since I go to school online, I have plenty of flexibility to cater to different routines and time schedules throughout the week. I absolutely love early morning requests and I’m highly flexible on weekends and holidays, so I can be there whenever your pets need me most. Whether walking or sitting dogs and cats, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, happy environment. For walks, I always keep pets on secure leashes and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During home visits or sitting, I make sure cats and dogs receive plenty of individual attention, play, proper feeding, and medication if needed, while strictly following all of your specific household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with endless patience, love, and safety as my top priorities.

About: Have worked for a family owned pet sitting business, have experience with seniors & puppies! Currently have a 13 year old chihuahua & a pet bearded dragon. My love / knowledge & patience for all types of pets is overall really what most people say sets me apart! Currently part time! Detailing is a business im growing, but my love for pets has always had my heart so I would love to do both! I have a bunch of parks walking distance from my home, which is where I walk my fur baby! When not out and about walking the dogs, boarded pets will be inside, as I always have my chihuahua inside to keep any pets company! We do have a front yard for quick potty breaks. If pets coming are scared / timid/ shy, can always provide a safe kennel / play area for them so they can keep calm & be relaxed if tired 😊

About: My household has always been filled with animals. From snakes, to chickens, to cats and dogs, which I took a part in caring for all. My childhood dog was a pitbull/lab that was rescued into my family as a puppy and I was taught to train him with patience and kindness. I have also had to care full time for bottle fed kittens that I rescued, and successfully found a loving home for. I have a big place in my heart for all animals no matter the breed or size. I am currently at college so I had to sadly leave all my pets at home with my family, so I am missing getting to see my animals every day. But while I was home I cared for my cat daily and took her to the vet frequently. While I had a pet dog I would walk him daily and take him on hikes and other fun adventures. I have learned to be very patient will all animals because every pet will react differently to a situation. I am very flexible on whatever pet care is needed. I can thoroughly care for any pet and I have pet sat for dogs that were not familiar with me many times. I have had experience with leash aggressive dogs and unfriendly cats, and always try my best to be patient and stay calm. I am capable of any care that the owner is comfortable with.

About: Experienced WFH caregivers, always home, attentive, and responsive. 🐾 We care for your dog together, and your dog is never left alone here. Over 10 years, we've fostered 20+ dogs, welcomed shy rescues who needed time to warm up, and managed daily medication for seniors. We adjust to your dog's pace, not the other way around. Expect leisure walks, real playtime, and a calm home with two easygoing resident dogs and two cats who help new guests settle in fast. Daily photo and video updates come standard, and more anytime you ask. We recommend a Meet & Greet first so your dog can get comfortable and you can ask us anything. Because we work remotely, your dog gets company all day. Frequent potty breaks, walks, and playtime/mental stimulation games happen naturally throughout the day since we're always home to supervise. We're two minutes from grassy fields and walking paths, so outdoor time is easy and frequent. The routine stays structured yet flexible, tailored to each dog's energy level and normal habits. Available on weekdays, weekends, and for extended stays, with last-minute bookings supported whenever possible. Your dog's safety and comfort come first. Our home stays clean, calm, and supervised; dogs are never left unattended, and we introduce pets thoughtfully to keep the environment peaceful. We spot clean any mess right away with pet safe products, on top of routine cleaning and mopping, so the space stays fresh and safe between walks and playtime. Crate available if requested, though most dogs relax freely indoors with cozy resting spots of their own. You'll get daily photo and video updates, plus more anytime you ask, so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. We recommend a Meet & Greet before booking to make sure it's a great fit for everyone.

Ni is a gem! She cared for our two cats while we were away for several weeks and I am very grateful for her care and attention. Our boy is shy but once he gets going, very playful, and she quickly put him at ease and played with him extensively during her visits, and he was clearly eager and excited for her visits. Our other usually hides the whole time anyone new is in the house, but Ni was calm and kitty-boundary-respecting, which set her at ease so that she was even coming out at Ni's visits and engaging. Ni gave great updates and I felt very reassured at all times. My highest recommendation and gratitude!

We had such a great experience with Christina! She was able to accommodate our last minute request, which we really appreciated, and took amazing care of both of our cats. One of our cats needs oral medication and she handled everything so well. Both cats warmed up to her right away, which honestly surprised us because one of them usually takes a while to trust new people! Her visit updates were super detailed and we loved getting all the cute photos and videos of our cats. She even sent pictures of their clean litter boxes and food bowls, which we really appreciated because it showed us that everything was taken care of. She was very thorough and kept us updated on how everything was going, so we never had to worry while we were away. It's not easy finding someone you feel comfortable leaving your pets with, especially when one needs medication, but we felt completely at ease with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and attentive pet sitter!
