About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own but have grown up with pets my entire life. I am known as that crazy dog mom who ensures my pets are well taken care of which means consistent training, walks, mental enrichment and making sure they are happy, confident and know how loved they are! I understand each pet is different, as I have a nervous dog myself, and how difficult it can be to trust someone with your fur baby. I will take care of your pet the way I would expect someone to take care of mine and share lots of updates (pics, videos, texts) to help you feel a little less worried while you’re away. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I walk my dogs 3x a day, incorporate play time, mental enrichment and make sure their schedules are balanced! I have 2 dogs and an enclosed patio but live in an area with many outdoor parks and grass fields for long walks or playtime depending on the pet I am caring for and their needs!

About: I am a wagging expert in fun and love. I walk with heart, i feed with care, and i love dogs💕 Let’s make every walk a paw----sitive adventure! Woof. Who let the dog out? ME Walking dogs fits perfectly into my flow just like breath to movement. I’m a yoga instructor by heart, so every step w we stroll, we sniff, we vibe. And yes every walk includes at least one perfect Down Dog. Ha Because this is how I move through life: with love, leash in hand, and paws in rhythm. My house is dog friendly but low-keyI'm just looking to walk dogs right now. I have lived in Foster City my entire life and know the best trails.

“Linda (Xiangling) was wonderful with my dog. She took extra care and time with him to make sure he was comfortable and safe. She checked in with me and reported many details. Her kindness really helped my dog stay happy while I was gone.”


About: I am new to the Foster City area coming from Texas. I have had many years of experience taking care of animals. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years in Austin, TX and prior to that I have worked with boarding facilities, daycares and groomers. I am skilled in the basics of grooming- bath, hair brushing/detangling, teeth brushing, nails, ear cleaning. I love to go for walks and be outside. I have 3 dogs myself so I am accustomed to walking multiple times a day. I'm also very skilled at cuddling on the couch, for those pets who are less active and looking for a drop in visit. I'm very comfortable around any animals, big or small. I have a lot of experience with senior pets - giving meds, lifting/helping them move around, cleaning up after messes. My main goal is to ensure that your pet is as happy and comfortable as they can be while you are away! I am currently taking a break from the vet care field but I am still looking to enrich my free time and help other's pets live their best lives! My pets are my first priority in the household. I spoil them in anyway that I can with food, treats, adventures and unconditional love. My pets are treated as family and I will always treat your pet with the same level of care and love.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover with over four years of experience caring for friends’ dogs, and I also have a playful one-and-a-half-year-old corgi of my own.

If you prefer, we can keep our dog separated from yours upon request, and we always make safety and comfort our top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures so you can see how much fun your dog is having. We live in a spacious townhouse without a fenced yard, but our neighborhood has plenty of grassy areas perfect for walks and playtime.

After moving to the US, with apartment restrictions, we chose to have a cat. For many years I miss dogs in my life. I can’t wait to offer an abundance of love to them. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is quite flexible across the week. I will be happy to work around your schedule. I am mostly offering walks and dog sitting at your home. Let’s explore what will work best for both parties. I live in an apartment.

“Ranger was such a happy fellow when he returned from his walk with Geraldine!!! He was extremely content. You can tell that Geraldine cares and is genuine sincere. She is extremely responsive, and will share any concerns that she may have (In my case Ranger had to relieve himself twice - first time was a "good" poop, but the second time - showed signs that perhaps his tummy was upset). This was very helpful as it allowed us to adjust his diet that night to help him feel better. I would highly recommend Geraldine based on this one experience.”


“Kurtis was our repeat daily walker for many months and he did a great job the whole time! Dexter really enjoyed his time going out with Kurtis and Kurtis did a great job handling the tasks and keeping in communication. I definitely recommend his services!”

Foster City 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!

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.
