I definitely recommend him for any of your pet needs 🙂”

I have a special needs senior dog (blind) who will tests new walkers, but Peter was willing to give it a try). He was very professional and patient with my dogs and went out of his way to check in on my cats. Very approachable and professional. I highly recommend Peter.”


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’ve look after pets since the age of 6. Over the last few years I have become the go to person in my family to take care of everyone’s fur babies while they travel and thought it was time to share my love for animals with others as well. I’m a freelancer artist with a flexible schedule so I have lots of time throughout the day to help care for you pets. My availability for overnights is any days but Tuesday and Thursdays as I teach a night class at a college. But outside of that I’m very flexible. 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.

“Catherine is great! She's super sweet and communicative. She's trustworthy and I will definitely be working with her whenever I need help with Lily! Thank you sm”


About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family, all kinds of ages and sizes, and I am very comfortable with dog sitting, boarding, and walking. I live with my miniature poodle in San Mateo and we would love to host new furry friends or take them on walks along the bay trail. We also have a nice fenced backyard with natural lawn for dogs to run around during the day. I work from home full time and I have plenty of time to care for your precious pups. I am available to help on weekdays or weekends. I have a fenced yard with lawn for the dogs to be free thoughout the day. I live in a single family home in San Mateo. Pets are usually allowed on the bed, coach etc unless they shed quite a bit. Our home is very dog friendly and they will be sure to have a great time

“Alexander came through for a last minute walk and saved me! He gave me the cutest pictures and notes about my dog and you can tell he really enjoyed their time together. I will definitely be rebooking with him!”



“Janet walked my dog for an hour when I had hurt my back. My dog doesn’t love strangers but she warmed up to Janet quickly. She had a take charge attitude, but was very warm and sweet. Would definitely use her again!”


“Thank you Nicole for walking Kitsu! She looked forward to her time with you and I appreciated how you dealt with some of her puppy tendencies!!”


“Yvette tried hard to take my dog who wasn’t moving at first because of the unfamiliar situation and managed to get him pee and poop!!! I had a bad cold and she was so helpful.”


About: I have 3 years experience as a dog handler. I have reliable transportation and can drive up to 20 miles for a job. Thank you I am available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6 AM-5PM. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays after 4PM. Holidays and weekend nights work also. Thank you for your consideration. I would prefer to keep the doggo in an environment that they feel safe in, but I am absolutely open to sitting in my home.

“Olivia is dependable, trustworthy, and loving. She has been helping us since we rescued Chikki as a puppy. She has done drop in and walks for us. She always sends us great photos and Chikki loves her company.”
