About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

“Arillia goes above and beyond when caring for Kaia! She gives her the right TLC to keep her connected and engaged, and is always able to create the best environment for her during their time together.”


“We partnered with Mick for a few walks with our guardian breed, Sully. Mick was communicative, flexible, and attentive. He says that he matches his style to the dog he's caring for - whether that's more energetic and outgoing or shy and laid-back. I would definitely recommend him to care for your pup!”

About: I worked for a private family, taking care of their elderly dog. I was in charge of taking the dog in daily walk, give proper medications, give specific food for his diet and overall make sure he was well and safe. I am a current college student taking classes online. This makes me have a flexible schedule which majes me available anytime of the day, including weekends and weekdays. I am in a very fun, energetic, caring person when it comes to animals. Being very attentive is one of my best qualities, I care and make sure your pet feel safe.

About: Hi! I’m Tram, and I’ve been loving and caring for dogs for nearly 3 decades. With 29 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and quirks—from playful puppies to wise seniors. Animals aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a cozy cuddle session, or specialized care, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love creating a safe, happy space for animals to thrive. Whether you’re traveling or just need a helping hand, I’ll treat your furry companion like one of my own—with lots of love, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag together! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive to your pet throughout the day. My typical routine includes a morning walk or play session, regular potty breaks, and lots of cuddle or enrichment time in between. I take breaks often, so your dog will never be alone for long. I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra walks, medication, or just companionship. Your pet will have a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away! Your dog will be cared for like family in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a gated backyard with plenty of space for them to roam, play, and soak up the sunshine. If your pup is crate-trained or you prefer they have a crate for rest time, I can absolutely accommodate that. I also live near McLaren Park, which means your dog will enjoy scenic walks, fresh air, and lots of opportunities to sniff and explore! Whether your pup needs quiet companionship or high-energy play, I tailor the day to their personality and needs. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: Hi, I’m Teresa! I’ve always loved dogs and now have one of my own, Juno, a 3 year old old mini Goldendoodle :) He’s sweet, a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s playful, energetic, and obsessed with fetch and bubbles. He’s non-reactive, pretty submissive, and usually gets along great with other dogs. 🗓 Availability Weekdays – San Francisco, Daly City, South SF • Dog walking • Boarding (in my home with Juno) • House sitting (as long as I can work remotely) I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether your pup is staying with me, I’m stopping by for a visit, or taking them on a walk, I always treat them like they’re my own, with patience, care, and lots of affection. On walks, I’m cautious and observant, always reading your dog’s body language and adjusting based on what they need, whether that’s more space from other dogs, extra sniff time, or a slower pace. When your dog stays with me (or I stay with them), I’ll adjust to whatever makes them feel most comfortable, whether that’s quiet time in their own space, interactive play, or lots of cuddle breaks. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to match your fur baby’s vibe!

About: I’ve been a professional dog groomer for over 7 years, and before that I spent 2.5 years working at an animal shelter. Those experiences gave me not only hands-on knowledge with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, but also a deep understanding of how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. What sets me apart is the unique combination of my professional grooming background and my shelter experience. I know how to handle pets with different personalities from shy rescues who need extra patience, to high energy pups who crave play and engagement. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a side job, it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times. Because my grooming schedule is only 3–4 days a week, I have extra time that I’d love to dedicate to helping care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, both in the grooming salon and outside of it. I believe every pet should feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of the family.

“Joanna did an amazing job with my Tsuki! It was Tsuki’s first dog walk ever and she looked like she had fun~ Thank you for the last minute scheduling and for being very communicative! ?”


About: I’ve had a deep love for animals my whole life and have over 13 years of hands on pet care experience. I’ve owned and cared for my cat for 13 years and also helped raise and care for our family dog growing up. I’ve regularly cared for two golden retrievers for a close friend, handling walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of belly rubs! I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and I understand how important it is to treat each pet like family with patience, attention, and love. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day to care for pets. I work remotely, which makes it convenient for me to do drop in visits, walks, or pet sitting in clients’ homes. Whether it’s a quick potty break or all-day care, I’m happy to be there when your pet needs me! I work remotely, so I can be fully present and attentive when caring for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a cat of my own, cared for with an automatic feeder and water fountain, and I maintain a clean litter box. I’m always respectful of each pet’s unique routine and space. My priority is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their environment, and I’ll follow your care instructions closely to make sure they feel secure and well loved.

“We love Mariana checking in on Indie! He’s really warming up to her and we really appreciate her walking him and feeding him. She always follows our direction and we’re so thankful”


About: With over 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a calm, respectful, and attentive approach to every pup I meet. I started out as a teen, pet sitting for family friends, and quickly became the go-to dog sitter among my own circle as I got older. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including seniors and shy rescues. I understand that every dog is different: some need high-energy play and stimulation, while others need a gentle pace and plenty of quiet companionship. I focus on building trust with each dog by meeting them where they are—whether that means tossing a ball in the yard, going for long walks, or simply giving them space and comfort while you're away. I’m currently working remotely part time so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for housesitting, drop-in’s, and walking. Whether I’m dropping in, staying overnight, or taking your pet for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, leash safety, proper feeding, and making sure medications (if needed) are given correctly. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, leaving things just as I found them, and making sure your pets feel secure in their environment. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, so your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Andy does a great job of walking my dog selective, fear reactive dog. He gives me detailed updates on how each walk went. It’s great to find someone so reliable and communicative to walk my dog while I’m at work!”


About: I have professional experience working as a dog groomer, where I provided attentive and high-quality care to a variety of dog breeds. My responsibilities included bathing, drying, styling, and ensuring each pet’s health, comfort, and safety throughout the grooming process. I’m skilled at managing dogs with different temperaments, including those with anxiety, and I always prioritize creating a calm, positive experience. Pet care fits well into my daily schedule because I have open availability during the weekdays and am also available on weekend evenings. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’m able to dedicate focused time to each pet to ensure they receive the attention, care, and companionship they need. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow any specific instructions provided—whether it’s feeding schedules, walking routines, medication, or playtime—to ensure consistency and minimize stress for the pet. I’m respectful of the home space, keep everything clean and organized, and make sure the pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to maintain the same level of care and comfort pets are used to, if not better.

“Teresa is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She took my shy boy Moop on walks and watched him for the weekend while I was out of town.

She’s calm, patient, and somehow manages to give each pet the individual attention they need. What really stood out to me was how she connected with Tiny, my shy Min Pin. Surekha never pushed her, just showed up with quiet consistency—and over time, Tiny completely came out of her shell. Now she wags and runs up to her like they’ve been best friends forever. I trust Surekha completely and always feel at ease knowing my pets are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for in her hands. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their sitter!”
