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.

About: I’m a dog lover who’s all about giving your pup lots of love, play, and care while you’re away. I live in an apartment building right near tons of green spaces and parks, so there’s always a great spot nearby for walks or playtime. I’ve got experience training puppies and I’m great with senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Every dog gets plenty of attention, belly rubs, and walks tailored to their energy and personality. I’m currently taking some time off, so I have plenty of free time every day to give your pup all the attention and playtime they need. Whether it’s long walks, fun games at the park, or just cuddling around the apartment, I’m here to keep your furry friend happy and active throughout the day. Your dog won’t feel lonely or bored when they’re with me and my rescue pup Zoë! I provide loving, personalized care whether your pet stays with me or I visit them at home. In my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime and walks around nearby parks. For in-home visits, I stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy, including feeding, potty breaks,

Xianzhou M.
“I am writing with great enthusiasm to recommend my husband, Xianzhou, as a trusted caregiver for your beloved pet. As a devoted animal lover and experienced pet sitter, Xianzhou possesses a rare ability to earn the trust of furry companions almost instantly. He has provided customized care for a wide range of families, always with heart, responsibility, and attention to detail. Xianzhou has a deep sense of empathy toward animals. He patiently observes each pet’s personality and habits—whether it’s a shy cat that prefers quiet interaction or an energetic dog eager for adventurous walks, he always finds a way to make them feel safe and comfortable. Our adopted stray dog, Lucky, who once refused to go outside, now wags his tail with joy the moment he hears Xianzhou’s footsteps—an example of the trust he builds so naturally. Xianzhou understands that pets are cherished family members. After each visit, he shares updates with photos, notes on eating and bathroom routines, and even remembers each pet’s favorite scratching or petting spots. His thoroughness has earned him the trust of many long-term clients, especially when caring for elderly pets or those recovering from surgery who require extra attention. Beyond basic feeding and walking, Xianzhou offers thoughtful, customized care: He designs puzzle games and hiking routes for high-energy dogs. He prepares healthy, pet-friendly snacks for picky eaters. He uses his medical background to monitor pets’ well-being and records calming voice messages for those with separation anxiety. He keeps open communication with pet parents for full transparency. As someone who knows him best, I’ve seen countless moments where he went above and beyond—rushing a client’s pet to emergency care late at night or carefully jotting down each pet’s birthday in his notebook. If you are looking for a caregiver who follows best practices in animal care while treating your pet like family, Xianzhou is undoubtedly the ideal choice.”

East San Mateo dog parents share their Rover experiences
Pitzy was fantastic! She's thoughtful and caring towards Maisie and made sure to check ahead about any requirements! Pitzy is super responsive, sends updates and pictures throughout and also brings water along to keep the pup hydrated on a warm day. I'd highly recommend Pitzy for dog walking and sitting!

Leaving our beloved Daisy for two weeks while out of the country was tough, but Noah made it so much easier with his incredibly compassionate and reliable care. Knowing she was in such trustworthy hands, being walked twice a day, truly put our hearts at ease. The thoughtful updates we received were a true comfort. Each notice, complete with a sweet photo of Daisy, details of her adventures, and confirmation of her meals, made us feel connected and reassured. It was clear that Noah didn't just walk Daisy; he treated her with genuine affection, as if she were a cherished member of his own family. We feel so incredibly lucky and grateful to have found Noah. His kindness and the genuine bond he formed with Daisy were truly special. Without a doubt, Noah will be our first call for any future dog walking or companionship needs. He provides not just a service, but a loving and caring presence for our furry family member.

Rachel was extremely patience with my grumpy little old girl and I cannot thank her enough. She took extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with her. She is communicative with me the whole time. I trust Rachel completely in taking care of my dog and can't recommend her enough. We are so glad that we found you Rachel!

Dalia was fantastic! She communicated ahead of my dogs’ walk and asked for specific instructions or things she needed to be aware of. She was on the dot punctual. My dogs liked her immediately and were happy to go with her (even though they are quite attached to me). My pups returned happy and ready for a nap! 10/10 would recommend Dalia.
