About: From wild puppy zoomies to slow strolls with seniors, I’ve done it all! I’ve raised our corgi since she was a puppy helping with crate training, leash skills, potty training, learning new tricks, etc. I’ll adjust my care to meet your dog’s energy and needs, whether that’s playing fetch or just offering a calm and comfortable environment. Your dog will get treated just as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home full-time so I have the time and freedom to give your dogs the attention, play, and care they deserve. I take my own dog on multiple walks and trips to the dog park everyday and your pup is welcome to come along! My schedule is flexible and can be tailored to fit you and your dogs needs. I will stick to your pets usual routines to keep them comfortable, so please let me know their schedule around walks, meals, playtime, and naps, and whatever else your dog loves to do. I always keep a clean, safe environment and give each pet plenty of attention, belly rubs, and mental stimulation. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming them into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and never alone. I live in an apartment but can easily take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or just a short ride from the nearest dog park.

“Our Dog loves Aime! She is very reliable and communicative. She's walked our pup a couple times a week and we are so happy to have found her. She is kind, loving and takes extra good care of Manti Carlo.”

About: My son now refers to me as the “Dogfather”. So I’ll own it! I’ve been caring for animals since I was six years old, and over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter in my family whenever anyone travels. It’s something I truly love, so I decided to share that care and attention with others in my community. When I walk your dogs, I aim for a solid 2 to 3 miles during each hour-long session to give them the exercise they need and deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-looked after every step of the way. You can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. For overnight boarding we ask that dogs that you suspect might have fleas be given a flea treatment prior to their stay. We aim to keep our house “flea free” to ensure that all your pets are safe and healthy! I’m a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for overnight stays every night of the week and can easily work around your schedule. Whether it’s daytime check-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here to provide reliable, loving support whenever you need it. I have a completely fenced in yard and a sweet little dog named Kirby. I work in my garage so I’m always aware of what is going on in the yard as it is right next to me. I take breaks often throughout the day and spend lots of time playing with my own fur baby so I’ll have plenty of time to devote to yours as well.

“Peter was so helpful when watching our two cats. Super communicative, thoughtful and great with the kitties. I would definitely ask him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Peter!”

About: I've grown up with 6 labs, 2 cats, numerous fish, hamsters, and other assorted animals. I love being around dogs the most and treat everyone's pet as I would my own. Walks, play-time, dog-sitting, or check-ins - whatever you need, I'm your guy! I work remote 2 days a week and I'm home (alone) every day starting around 6pm. Taking care of your pets would help me fill my time with some good company! I can't house any pets at my residence, but I'll respect any and all guidelines for pet care at your home, the park, or any walk we go on.

“Best cat sitter ever! Spencer spent so much time with our timid cat who warmed up to him so quickly. Spencer truly cares and goes the extra mile to take care of your pet.”

“Thaina did a great job watching our 2 cats over a long weekend. She kept our home clean and was very responsive in her communications when one of our kitties wasn’t feeling well one morning. We felt reassured she was keeping a watchful eye on their health while we were gone.”

“Quinn was great with my cat! Appreciated her cat sitting last minute!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.

“After having the hardest time finding someone to help walk my fur baby overnight, Amber and her Partner were life savers. Sending many pictures and leaving the sweetest notes, my Ponyo has made great new friends! We look forward to rebooking and seeing them again soon!”

About: Please let me hang out with your dog :) This will be mutually beneficial- I’ll take your dog for a walk and some play time and you’ll be able to rest easy! I currently do not have my own dog due to space limitations in my own home, as well as a work travel schedule that sends me to Asia for brief periods every few months. I love all dogs- I grew up with a reactive Akita for 16 years, from puppy to senior. I have done sprinkles of weekend overnight stays for friends and family, before moving to the Bay Area from SoCal 4 years ago. When in my care, all dogs are treated like they’re my own!! I am cautious when meeting for the first time and observant to stressed behaviors but also am able to recognize when to just have fun! I work full time in office on weekdays, usually Tuesday-Thursday. Would love to help dog walk during my evening work calls from 5 pm-7pm! Weekends are totally flexible. I prefer to maintain a high level routine schedule and don’t mind sending status updates! It’s the pet’s world and I’m just here to be the opposable thumbs and help avoid any nervous furniture chewing!

“Gryffin (our 140 pound leonberger) had SUCH a great time with Marshall! He got long walks and was very well taken care of and loved. We got such cute pictures of him on his outings and came home to a very happy dog :) thanks Marshall!!!”

About: I’m a Bay Area native who grew up with a mischievous Maltese. I have been around dogs all my life and am now a failed foster turned owner of two well behaved 4 year old chihuahua mixes. I am a strong believer in positive reinforcement and have great success doing behavioral training with all kinds of dogs. Sitting + Boarding - Before sitting, I will ask about your dog's day to day routine to understand how often and when they should eat, be walked, or taken outside. I'd also like to understand their energy level to gauge what activities we should be doing - dog parks, or slow walks. I live in a house with a fenced yard in San Mateo and currently have very flexible hours. We walk our dog everyday so you can insure your dog will have daily walks. If it’s sunny the dogs are allowed to run in and out of the yard as they please so they will never be bored inside. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home. My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least once a day. I will ask you for your feeding, exercise, and bedtime routine so we can make sure to keep the right schedule for your dog. My dogs are crate trained and love sleeping in their crates at night. I have sat dogs who are used to sleeping with their owners, they will sleep with us. I will ask you ahead of time how your dog likes to sleep. I want to make sure we emulate their home routine as much as possible.

“Diana and Michael were so kind and professional. I felt extremely safe leaving Reptar in their hands. He requires a wagon and to be lifted, so not for everyone, but Michael was able to assist my big/little guy and get him out while I was out of town for the day. Thank you so much for being so kind and sweet to my guy.”
