“Rumi may have found her new favorite person in Lizbeth! Rumi is still a puppy and she can sometimes be a bit distracted while on walks. With Lizbeth, however, loose leash walking around the neighborhood wasn't a problem at all, even with skateboarders nearby and leaves blowing in the wind (her absolute favorite thing to lunge at). Lizbeth was communicative, prompt, and from the big smile Rumi had after she came home from her walk, you could just tell that Lizbeth has a special way with dogs. We absolutely loved our experience with Lizbeth and would highly recommend her!”


About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通,包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
“Mario was outstanding! His communication was excellent, and he went above and beyond to help me out with walking my dogs on a stressful day of moving. I highly recommend him.”

“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!”

About: Hi! I’m Tina, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes pets are family. Growing up, I had a Pekingese who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years, she was my best friend, and I was involved in her care every single day, from walks and feeding to just spending time together. In high school I also helped walk and care for dogs in my neighborhood, which gave me experience with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m not a professionally trained handler, but I think honesty goes a long way when someone is trusting you with their dog. What I can genuinely offer is patience, attentiveness, and a lot of love. I’m actually looking into additional pet care training because this is something I really enjoy and want to keep growing in. I work fully remotely, which means I can provide lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction and care. I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a dog park located downstairs, and I also have reliable transportation to take dogs to nearby parks and walking areas if appropriate. A little about me: I studied Public Health during both my undergraduate and graduate education, earned my Master’s degree in Global Health from Harvard , and currently work in the health industry. That sound unrelated, but honestly it’s shaped how I approach responsibility: carefully, consistently, and always with the other person’s (or pup’s!) needs in mind. I know how much it means to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and go from there! I am available Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm, and on weekends from 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 5pm. I'm happy to accommodate special needs outside of these hours to ensure your pet receives the best care possible! In my home, I can comfortably accommodate small dogs/medium size dogs ensuring they have a safe, clean, and loving environment. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and constant supervision to make sure your pet feels secure and happy.
“Andy was an awesome dog walker. He was prompt and made sure my dog got her full hour. You can tell he is a dog person who cares and understands dogs. Iggy loved walking with Andy and Milo.”

About: Puppies are my specialty. I have raised over 20 puppies for multiple service dog organizations as well as fostering for a few different rescues. With my experience as a veterinary technician I am very familiar with the care of older pets and those with special needs. I also have almost 20 years of experience walking dogs for other people. I currently work full time but mostly swings shifts 3pm -11pm, so I am available before 3pm while most people are at work. I am also available for late night visits if needed. I treat every client's pet as I would my own. Creating a positive relationship with the animals I work with is most important to me.

About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University. I stopped working recently, so I have plenty of time to devote and dedicate to pet sitting. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights, depending on what you and your pet’s schedule requires. Please note I do not offer boarding or pet care services in my own home. I have 2 cats who need to be the only animals in the house.

About: I have taken care of cats of all sizes from 1 day old kittens to 2-3 years old cats (both neutered, spayed or unneutered, unspayed). I am familiar with their nature. I also walk my friend’s dogs on a regular basis. I am currently working full time. However my evenings after 5 are free. My weekends are most of the time free which means I am open for house sitter as well I have taken care of dogs by taking them for a walk or play fetching with them. For cats, I usually drop by to check if the feeder is working, clean the water fountain or bowl and refill with fresh water, clean their litter box, play with them, etc.
About: Hi! I’m a big dog lover who enjoys keeping dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I walk my own dog for over an hour per walk every day, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy pups and longer walks. I understand every dog has different exercise needs and personalities, and I always make sure walks are safe, fun, and tailored to them. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own while keeping you updated along the way! I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to work around your needs. Whether you need regular walks, last-minute help, or extra time and attention for your dog, I’m happy to accommodate and provide reliable care. I prioritize safe, comfortable walks tailored to each dog’s needs and energy level. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your dog with the same care and attention as my own.
About: Hi, i'm Jessica! I have grown up in the Bay Area and with dogs my whole life. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always loved both, but keep a special place in my heart for for dogs. I understand that every dog is unique, needing someone such as myself to tend to their specific needs. I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs and help you keep them occupied while you're busy. I have a huge heart for animals and can ensure you that I will keep your dog safe, healthy and happy. I will treat your dog with love and care and I will also make sure you get the best possible experience out of Rover! I am currently taking some classes in San Francisco on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. That is all I am obligated to go to currently with my schedule. I can easily crate your dog if needed or whichever method you use at home. Dogs are allowed on the couches and beds unless you would prefer otherwise.
About: I’ve taken care of different types of dogs at my house. I have experiences with walking small medium and large dogs. I have also experience with special needs dogs. And I have experience with going to the pet’s house. Im currently only working with pet care. I can walk dogs any days of the week/weekend. And boarding is also available any days, especially weekends. I have a little dog to be a company to your fur baby. I’m really careful about following the dog’s usual routine. I am really careful about going out with the dogs, I make sure they’re secure, so they don’t get lost.
“Brittany is great! She is punctual, caring, and friendly. Lily really enjoys walking with her - I feel comfortable and safe knowing she will be taking care of Lily. Thank you for all your help! I will definitely be working with her again :)”


“I had to move to Fremont but let me tell whoever reads this: I can’t find anyone like Janet! My dog loves her. Very communicative, works with your schedule and treats your dog like he is her own ! I’m half tempted to move back to San Mateo just for her! Thanks for loving my Duke the way I do!”


“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”
About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.

We absolutely loved our experience with Lizbeth and would highly recommend her!

Heleen is absolutely delightful. She is clearly very knowledgeable about dogs, especially dogs who are shy or anxious. Pepper acclimated to her very quickly, and I felt 100% comfortable when she took him for the first walk. I can tell she has excellent judgment and substantial skills working with dogs. We are already planning for future services. Thank you, Heleen!

Itchel was an amazing dog walker! Very kind, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Our dog, Cooper, can be quite picky and slow to warm up to new people, but she quickly found a way to connect with him, and he truly enjoyed getting to know her. She was responsible, always on time, and provided great communication throughout. We also loved receiving the photos and updates from their walks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!

Lauri is absolutely amazing with our anxious rescue Piper. From the very first meet-and-greet where she showed up in bright colored leggings so that Piper could identify her, to her very patient steps to build trust and rapport with our pup and each family member (even remembering career paths and school trips!), Lauri is nothing but pure heart, sincerity, and kindness. This particular neighborhood walk turned into last minute daycare on our mutual continual conversations, when we all could see Piper coming out of her shell. One of Lauri’s many great talents is being able to discern the limits of our Piper — when to challenge her and when to give her space — and this gift has been rewarded with Piper welcoming Lauri with a greater speed than she ever has anyone else. We are thrilled to have found Lauri and know that she will be folded into our village for years to come.
