Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In East San Mateo

“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”

About: I grew up caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters, which helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and love for animals. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, handling walks, feeding, and keeping them active and engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me to be flexible. I’m available Monday through Sunday, with morning and night availability from 6am - 10am and 5pm - 10pm. I care for pets by taking them on safe walks, following their feeding routine, and spending time playing with them. I make sure they’re comfortable, getting enough exercise, and sticking to their normal routine so they feel happy and secure.

“Michelle took good care of our cat while we were away. She was very easy to communicate with, on time, and cleaned up nicely. We will be using her services in the future for sure. Thanks Michelle !”

About: My home is your pet’s home 🫶🏻 Safe and trusted environment 💛 I have been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. As a dedicated dog and cat owner myself, I understand that your pet is family. I am a very active person who loves long walks, so I can ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I’m also highly organized and comfortable following specific feeding or medication schedules to keep your pup's routine consistent. I currently work in healthcare administration during the week, which means my weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care! I am available for full-time boarding and house sitting from Friday evening through Sunday night. Because I am a student and work a consistent schedule, I am very reliable and punctual with my check-ins and walk times. Your pup will have my full attention during their stay! I live in a pet-friendly environment in San Mateo where your dog's safety is my top priority. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends, making my home a great 'social' spot for your pup. I am very comfortable with 'Meet & Greets' to ensure everyone gets along. I maintain a clean, safe space and am happy to accommodate crate training or any specific home boundaries you have in place.

“Sidney was professional. I trust him with my pet!”

“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.”

“Rachel was amazing! It's always nerve-racking looking for a new pet sitter, but right after Rachel met our cats we knew she'd be great. We have one elderly, standoff-ish cat, and one energetic kitten - Rachel met both of their medical/feeding needs, managed their different temperaments, and we came home to two happy kitties! Will absolutely book with Rachel in the future! :)”

“Mario took great care of our dogs- when we were on vacation. We appreciate the communication and photos. We will definitely ask him to help out in the future.”

About: I have years of experience pet sitting, as well as fostering animals from two separate rescue organizations for months at a time. I am the proud owner of a twelve year old Siberian cat named Annabelle and a twelve year old Labradoodle dog named Topaz. I have pet sit for multiple repeat clients, ranging from neighbors to family friends, all of which were satisfied with my thoroughness, responsibility, and attentiveness. As a fierce animal enthusiast, I am dedicated to making your pet(s) feel loved, understood, and cared for while you are away. I am also willing to do odd jobs around the house such as watering house plants, if needed. I am currently flexible and available all days of the week, but the times I am available vary depending on the day. For safety reasons, I prefer to visit during the day (with the exception of overnight stays.) I am happy to feed, exercise, and play with your pet(s). I will take care to keep your house safe and secure, including locking doors and managing alarm systems. I will immediately notify you of anything out of the ordinary and be sure to always keep an eye on your pet(s).

“Rong was super sweet and really attentive with Stella. Stella usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she seemed very comfortable with Rong right away. Rong also paid attention to the little things around the apartment and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have experience taking care of a variety of small and medium sized dogs, including my neighbor’s elderly dog who required consistent attention and administration of medication. I enjoy going on walks and will be sure to give any dog the attention and care they need! My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely most days so am able to look after the dog throughout the day and take it outside as needed. I prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine by understanding each pet’s needs and maintaining a calm and respectful presence. I am happy to follow any specific instructions in your home as well.

“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.”

“Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️”

“Josh was great! Cody was a bit scared at first, seeing someone knew in his house, but after a bit, he warmed up to him no problem. Josh followed all my feeding instructions for Cody, and seems like him and Cody will get along the more they meet each other. I am planning to have Josh watch Cody many more times.”

“Casey showed up on time This visit was to acquaint Kylo with Casey and vice versa as Casey is going to house sit Kylo Kylo took well to Casey! Looking forward to Kylo spending more time with Casey”

About: My experience comes from a place of deep love and dedicated "parenting." I raised my own dog from the time he was 8 weeks old, and because I knew he would grow into a 75lb powerhouse, I made it my mission to ensure he was a "gentle giant." I invested years into his development, attending socialization and training classes three times a week to master positive, reward-based training techniques. Through patience and consistency, he became the kind of dog everyone loved：calm, polite, trusting, and incredibly sweet. I am also experienced in high-level medical care. Last year, my dog fought a rare autoimmune condition. During his two-month battle, I became proficient in managing intensive treatments and navigating the complexities of emergency veterinary care and blood transfusions. Though he passed away in August, the experience taught me how to be an advocate for a dog’s health and how to stay calm under pressure. My husband and I aren't ready to bring a new dog into our home just yet, but I have so much love and specialized knowledge left to give. Whether your dog needs a structured walk with positive reinforcement or a gentle drop-in visit with a caregiver who understands their unique personality, I will treat them with the same devotion I gave my own best friend. My current schedule is highly flexible during the week. I view dog walking and drop-ins as the perfect way to step away from my desk and get active. Because I manage my own hours, I can provide consistent mid-day visit or walk when most owners are at work. Caring for a dog isn’t just a ‘task’ for me, it’s a rewarding part of my daily rhythm that allows me to share time with a furry companion. Safety and trust are my top priorities, rooted in my experience raising and training a 75lb dog. I provide a secure environment by:     •    Equipment Checks: Always ensuring collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before leaving the house.     •    Situational Awareness: Staying hyper-aware of our surroundings during walks to avoid reactive dogs, busy traffic, or unsafe debris on the ground.     •    Positive Reinforcement: Using the reward-based training techniques I’ve practiced for years to keep the dog focused and calm.     •    Clear Communication: Providing owners with detailed updates and photos so they feel connected and reassured.     •    Medical Vigilance: Having navigated a serious autoimmune illness with my previous dog, I am highly observant of subtle changes in a dog’s energy or behavior that might indicate they aren't feeling their best.
