About: My son now refers to me as the “Dogfather”. So I’ll own it! I’ve been caring for animals since I was six years old, and over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter in my family whenever anyone travels. It’s something I truly love, so I decided to share that care and attention with others in my community. When I walk your dogs, I aim for a solid 2 to 3 miles during each hour-long session to give them the exercise they need and deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-looked after every step of the way. You can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. For overnight boarding we ask that dogs that you suspect might have fleas be given a flea treatment prior to their stay. We aim to keep our house “flea free” to ensure that all your pets are safe and healthy! I’m a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for overnight stays every night of the week and can easily work around your schedule. Whether it’s daytime check-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here to provide reliable, loving support whenever you need it. 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.
“Natalie was wonderful at taking care of our kitty. She was very communicative and made sure to ask plenty of questions prior to the drop in. She was on time, spent plenty of time with our cat and sent us lots of cute pics. Would definitely recommend her!”

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've cared for our family dog as a teenager. As an adult, I've had my own dog, who I adopted from a local shelter. She was an adult stray who stole my heart. I prioritized her every need.

I work full-time, but am available to check-in on your pet in the mornings and late afternoons on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I work remotely on some days, which gives me more flexibility. I can travel to your home at your preferred time. I'm happy to accommodate your preference for entering your home and securely locking up after I leave. I can meet you in advance to ensure I have all of your instructions on how you want me to care for your pet.

Michael B.
“Michael is amazing ! He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog has a fun and safe walk every time. My puppy, Teddy, needs extra walks for weight loss and practice being on leash so this has been a great arrangement. Michael is flexible and a great communicator. Teddy gets excited to spend time with Michael and is well exercised after the walks. I look forward to daily updates and pictures of him. Highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker!”

Mikaela F.
“Mikaela is a fantastic animal person! She’s the kindest most patient person I’ve ever seen handle any animal, “Miki” and I work at a small hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, llamas, chickens, and more! One of our jobs is to shave the two Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherd, non of which love the experience but Miki is so patient and calm that they have gone form dedicating in fear to greatly tolerating and even slightly enjoying the experience in a short amount of time, I believe this is a testament to Miki’s kindness towards animals that they all feel safe and secure with her. Miki is honestly one of the few people I would trust any of my animals with, feeding properly, medicating, taking out, get exercise and maintaining my animals daily routine.”
Linda M.
