About: As a recent graduate from college, I've been missing my dog for four years. I've got a lot of love for dogs and want to share that with your furry babies! My guy is an old sick man with chronic vertigo, so I've got experience caring for dogs with mobility issues. I'm a lifelong dog lover happy to0 do whatever your pet needs, from lots of playtime and exercise (I'm a hiking lover!) to chill, lots of love snuggle time. I'm currently looking for work, so I am available to care for your pet as needed, whether that's 24 hour in-home care or just hanging out for the evenings/mornings. I have plenty of time for long walks and providing regular bathroom breaks. I am adaptable to many environments and have no mobility or health issues that will prevent your home from being accessible to me. I have a vehicle that works for dogs and am happy to transport them for bigger adventures.
“Great dog walking experience with Di! He is reliable, caring, and always on time. My dog comes back happy and well-exercised every walk. I feel totally comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands.”

I have worked in a vet hospital, am experienced with giving medication, handling animals, reading body language, and know CPR. Im a home health nurse from 9-2, it a flexible job and hours, so on the side I like to petsit! I can accommodate and am very flexible to work with. I am a homebody, like to crotchet, and garden 🪴 I have 1 dog, 45lb German shepherd. She is socialized, has been with small and large animals.

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during the day on weekdays and weekends too. I’ll follow your suggestion and instructions for the best take care of your pets. You can trust I will do my best to entertain your pets.

About: Since I was 7 years old, I grew up with dogs and they have become my very best friends. About seven years ago, our senior dog, Biggie, guided me to Rover. He loved to meet new friends. After 18 amazing and beautiful years together, Biggie knew it was his time to say good-bye and crossed the Rainbow Bridge. His legacy of looking at the world through love has taught me many great lessons! Same goes for all the Dogs I've crossed paths with! Nothing can immediately uplift my spirits like a dog. The connections and the special bonds that I made with my Rover dog buddies over the years have been one of the most amazing experiences. *I understand 1000% about the feeling of leaving your dog when you have to go away or when he/she is home alone for long periods of time. Trust me that I've been through it too and it was never easy for me. That is why I want you to feel at ease and confident that you can put your trust in me. Drop-in & dog walking: Please reach out to me regarding dates so I can share my schedule for that time. Boarding:Your doggy will never be left alone when staying with us. Either me or my husband will be home if one of us has to go out. Or, if your dog enjoys car rides he/she is welcome to join depending on where we are going and factoring weather conditions. I am very open minded, communicative, honest, trustworthy, and head over heels for animals. You will receive pictures and updates everyday during your dog's stay. I also have a lot of experience and knowledge caring for senior dogs, dogs w/ special needs, and puppies. I promise when your pup is in my care, there will be nothing but undivided attention and unconditional love & respect. I will follow the owner’s instructions- walk, feed, what doggy likes to play with and what to be extra careful of, where they like to be pet, any particular fears, what makes them happy. 💕 (Boarding/Daycare) My priority when caring for your fur baby is creating a safe, comfortable, and happy space for everyone who walks through my door. My home is love and happiness…and clean! We have a beautiful, safe and private enclosed backyard for sunbathing. Our new neighborhood is open, clean, grassy, and safe when walking dogs! We also love when dogs sleep on our bed and they are always welcome on furniture. If you prefer they sleep in a crate, or separate, that’s fine too. If more than one dog is scheduled to be in my home, I take every precaution to ensure the personalities of each dog is a good fit before confirming the booking. It is an awesome experience witnessing our puppy guests making unexpected friends and connections during their stay.
“Patrycja is truly a one-in-a-million person. She is professional, kind, and has a genuine love for animals. I feel incredibly lucky to have met her, and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend her for any of your animal needs — you would be lucky to have her caring for your pets.”

“Trisha did a phenomenal job walking my boy Dexter daily for a couple of weeks! She was always on time, provided great updates, and is a stellar communicator. Dexter always had a great time with her! Definitely recommend 👍”

About: My husband and I have been our friends and family's designated cat and dog sitter for years. We understand the unique personality of each pet and do our best to provide the best care tailored to your furry baby. We can accomodate pick up time and drop off time between: 8am - 11:30 pm. My husband works from home and I works from home half of the time so we have plenty of time to care for your baby. We usually take two -three walks per day. We can add in more walks if your baby needs more potty breaks. The dogs/cats have free roam of our two bedrooms apt so they can hang out/play with us. We live in an apt building with a dog park right around the corner. We do not have pets at home and are only taking in one dog (with the exception of dogs from the same household) at a time so that we can give your pup the attention he/she needs. P.s. 我可以说中文
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.
“Linda (Xiangling) is great with my senior dog. He really loves her a lot and they have a great time together. She always sends a lot of pictures and updates which is really sweet because I'm always missing my dog.”

About: I have two cats and one dog. Cats are American Short Hair. Dog is Corgi, he lives with my mom now. I love cats and dogs, and I really enjoy playing with them. I can take good care of them. I always take good care of my friend’s pets when they are not in home. On week days I'm available at afternoon and night. On weekends I’m available all day. I can make pets sitting as my top priority on weekends. I live in apartments and I pay for pet fees already. So I can take care of them at home. But if they stay at clients home that will be good as well.

About: Dogs have always been a large part of my life, whether the pups were my own, my roommate’s, or my friends’. Currently, I don't have any fur babies of my own and this is the longest I've lived without one in my life, so I’m hoping that caring for your fur babies will help tide me over until I'm able to get one of my own! I have a lot of love and attention I’d love to shower your fur baby with, but I also have a lot of patience and persistence for those who need a more determined approach. I have experience working with big and small breeds and younger and senior mutts, as well as Boxers, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, Labradors, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers. For the past year I’ve been volunteering with the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA for the past year, working specifically with reactive and fearful dogs. Prior to that I’ve volunteered at shelters all over the world. I’ve lived in a few different countries and within the US I’ve lived in Boston, Washington D.C., Florida, and now the Bay Area! I speak English and Hindi fluently, and am conversant in Spanish, French, and Arabic. I’m happy to learn how to say commands and sweet nothings in any language that your fur baby prefers. I have a BA in Biological Anthropology from Boston University and a Master’s in Public Health from George Washington University. I’m currently unemployed and looking for work in health care - but this just means my schedule is that much more open and flexible. I look forward to loving and caring for your pup while their favorite person is away. I’m currently unemployed and looking for work in health care - but this just means my schedule is that much more open and flexible. I'm happy to work on the schedule that works best for you. When caring for your pet in your own I am respectful, considerate, and clean. I understand that sharing your space with another person requires a lot of faith and understanding, and I endeavor to make sure we are both comfortable with the arrangement. I hold transparency and trust in very high regard! Along-side caring for your pet I'm happy to water plants or take care of any other living thing that might also need attention!

About: As someone who works from home, I’m able to offer flexible scheduling and give your fur friends plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve been caring for dogs for over two decades and share my home with a 9-year-old dog, so I’m very familiar with both playful energy and the needs of senior dogs. I also have experience with puppy training and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. During our meet-and-greet or trial walk, I take the time to learn both your preferences and your dog’s needs. Whether it’s park walks or neighborhood strolls, potty breaks or specific feeding routines, I’m comfortable accommodating them. Respecting your dog’s space and your home environment, I keep everything clean and leave your space as I found it. I work from home and have flexible weekday availability from 9am to 4pm. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and daytime care with consistency and attention. I’m happy to work with your schedule when possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each dog’s routine, use secure handling during walks and visits, and stay attentive to their needs. I treat your home with care and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.

“Lu is incredibly kind, gentle, and very punctual. She was also extremely helpful throughout the whole process. What I really appreciated is how well she handled a sensitive dog like Noodle—she was patient, attentive, and made sure Noodle felt comfortable and safe. Highly recommend!”

Emma has been wonderful taking Koda on walks! She is very diligent about Koda’s condition and even applied cold compress when Koda’s limping without me asking her to. Emma is kind, caring and punctual! Will definitely recommend Emma to anyone to care for their furry friends!
