Dog Walking Hillsborough

“All I can say is that when you go on vacation and your a pet parent, the last thing you want is to worry about the well being of your dog. Well KATIE definitely gave me peace of mind and and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog Boris was in GREAT hands. After the meet and greet, I already had a sense of comfort because of her experience and super friendly demeanor. She also sent me pictures of Boris during walks and my family even told me that my dog can sense that she was close to come get him because he would start to act anxious and wait for her at the door. Knowing that truly solidifies her ability to love and care for your pet. If I ever need someone to walk/watch my dog(s) again, Katie will be my definite go to. THANK YOU KATIE! Oh...she also gave us a farewell dog toy and homemade chocolate chip cookies on her last day walking Boris. This is great customer service and definitely built a great rapport with my family and I.”

“Richard is the best. So conscientious and happy to go the extra bit to make sure my girl is taken care of. It makes me feel good to know she’s happy while I am away.”

“Lauri is absolutely amazing with our anxious rescue Piper. From the very first meet-and-greet where she showed up in bright colored leggings so that Piper could identify her, to her very patient steps to build trust and rapport with our pup and each family member (even remembering career paths and school trips!), Lauri is nothing but pure heart, sincerity, and kindness. This particular neighborhood walk turned into last minute daycare on our mutual continual conversations, when we all could see Piper coming out of her shell. One of Lauri’s many great talents is being able to discern the limits of our Piper — when to challenge her and when to give her space — and this gift has been rewarded with Piper welcoming Lauri with a greater speed than she ever has anyone else. We are thrilled to have found Lauri and know that she will be folded into our village for years to come.”

About: I have my own dog, Kaeda who recently turned 7! My family & I adopted her when she was just months old, so I have experience with young puppies as well! I’ve also taken care of my friends and family’s dogs & have recent experience in house sitting cats. I loved all my experiences so much, I want to give back and offer it to my community as well! :) I currently work part-time Mon, Tues, Fri from 10-7 so those days would be a little different. I’d wake up at 8am to carry out my morning routine with my dog on the days I work. After work, I like to go out for walks with my own dog and play with her & her toys before ending my day. My off days would follow a similar schedule but with a lesser gap in the middle of the day which I would spend with my dog :) Depending on what a specific pet’s needs are, I can cater to being more or less active with them. Generally, I like keep my pet active throughout the day by going on walks / playing with toys / sunbathing and I give them space if needed. I also value cleanliness by always wiping my dog down before and after going outside or providing baths when needed.

About: Hi folks, I’m Hannah. My pets are a part of my chosen family. They each have their own quirks, preferences, attitudes, and personalities. I’d be honored to bring your furry family member into our lives! I’ve had many different pets over the last 20 years: parakeets (Lucy and Ricky), gerbils (Louis and Clark), dogs (Lilly, Iggy, Olive, Stella, Dexter, Pearl), and cats (Charlie, Baby Boy). We love to walk and hike throughout the bay area, run the beach, teach tricks, sunbathe in the yard, play with the very many (too many!) toys strewn about our house, and cuddle in front of the fire pit. I’d love to know more about your pet to ensure they are safe and happy and that I’m providing the best kind of care catered to them. Are they shy? Friendly? Aloof? Nervous? Mischievous? Do they need a little more love to make sure they are comfortable? How many daily walks is ideal for their energy level? Do they get specific meals and meds to protect their health? Do they have a history of reactivity? Favorite spot for scritches? Etc. I’m also happy to provide specific care based on their needs, senior pups and cats welcome! Thanks so much for reading 💕🐾 We live in San Mateo and I’m currently working part time in San Francisco on M/W/F mornings so I have a flexible schedule to care for your furry family. I am also open to working out a pick up and drop off schedule if that is something you’re interested in. We have a lovely fenced yard for our pups to run around and frolic in, as well as a doggy door so they can go out at their leisure. I like to take my dog on 2 walks a day (gotta check their pee-mails!) and there is a dog park within walking distance of our house should your pup prefer to run around freely. I do not crate my dog, so if that is in your routine, please let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Above all I believe fresh air, engagement, and enrichment creates the happiest environment for our pets. I’d love to welcome yours into our family ❤️

“va did an amazing job caring for and walking my dog, Riley, while I was traveling. She was extremely professional, responsive, and reliable throughout the entire process, which gave me a great deal of peace of mind while away. The biggest sign of how wonderful she was is that Riley was incredibly happy, calm, and content when I returned home. It was clear he was very well cared for and comfortable with her. I truly appreciated the communication and attention she provided, and I would absolutely work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer named Shaft who made me a life long lover of dogs. At 18 I brought home my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Tsar, and raised him from a puppy. He's 9 now and very much my child. Two years ago we added Goose, a goofy, high-energy golden retriever who keeps us both on our toes. I'm very comfortable handling large, strong dogs, but I have a real soft spot for the little ones too. I pay close attention to body language and respect dogs as animals first, which helps me read how they're feeling and keep them calm and safe. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them the same way I care for mine. I previously worked part time as a product designer, and I'm now looking to spend more of my time doing something that genuinely makes me happy. My weekdays are open and flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my daily life, between walks, playtime, and keeping up with my own two, so pet care fits right in. Your pups will get the attention, exercise, and company they deserve. I care for dogs the way I care for my own, with a steady routine and plenty of attention. My dogs start the day with a walk, then settle for 15 to 20 minutes before eating to help avoid digestion issues. I never leave the house without a bag of treats, and every walk doubles as a mini training session. I let dogs explore and sniff to their heart's content while still working on leash manners, and I'm happy to reinforce whatever training you're working on. Whether I'm caring for a dog in my home or yours, I'll gladly follow the routine you've already set up for your pet.

About: I am a physically active recent retiree and capable dog lover who recently lost my beloved Wheaten Terrier after 11 great years with him, so I'm well able to care for your very active or senior dog that might have special dietary or physical needs. I'm recently retired and home every day, so I have lots of time to care for your pet. Drop-off and pick-up very flexible every day and evening. Although we have a securely fenced and paved back yard, it contains a swimming pool, so we kept our own pet indoors or on our fenced in, covered deck/patio which is also secure. We have a large dog crate which our dog slept in every night, but this is flexible depending on your own dog's sleeping preferences. I do not let pets sleep on my bed. We live on a very quiet street with no 'through' traffic, so it's easy to walk your dog regularly without risking encounters with other pets. Our own dog was not comfortable around other dogs and this was easy for us to manage.

“Zheng is a lifesaver! My dog has tons of energy, and Zheng did a fantastic job making sure he got a proper workout. I really appreciated the detailed Rover cards and the cute photos sent during the walk. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such capable hands while I’m traveling”

“Maria is amazing! She showed up in such a short notice to meet Snowy before I hire her. Then I went on my trip and she was always on time, and my pets were so happy with her. I would definitely hire her again, I highly recommend you to hire her, your pets will thank you 😊”

“Maya is a reliable and caring dog lover. She took great care in getting to know my shy dog and reassured me that my pet would be in good hands. I’ve gone ahead and booked her for much of May! Great experience.”

About: Puppies are my specialty. I have raised over 20 puppies for multiple service dog organizations as well as fostering for a few different rescues. With my experience as a veterinary technician I am very familiar with the care of older pets and those with special needs. I also have almost 20 years of experience walking dogs for other people. I currently work full time but mostly swings shifts 3pm -11pm, so I am available before 3pm while most people are at work. I am also available for late night visits if needed. I treat every client's pet as I would my own. Creating a positive relationship with the animals I work with is most important to me.

About: I believe that I have a great balance in calm energy plus fun moments to let your pet have a wonderful day, no bored but also not anxious. I have flexible agenda once for now I’m Uber and pet sitter: I’m available to spend full weekends or just one or few hours for you and your pet. I’m great to make notes and do what is the client preference. I like to follow the recommendations. Very responsible and always on time. I’m also paying attention on the cleaning, health signs, energy, gut. I’m from health care and my best friend is vetenerian so we talk a lot about pet health.

“Aaron is excellent! He's very responsive to my texts and gets back to me right away. He's also very organized and had to remind me of our walk schedule for this week! James Dean loves walking with him and is very enthusiastic when Aaron arrives to walk him. A happy (and tired out) dog is the best proof that my dog is getting the most out of his walks with Aaron.”

“Ray was great with Jimi! Jimi is leash reactive and not friendly with other dogs, plus he is very strong, so I’m always worried when someone else walks him. But I felt extremely confident with Ray walking him. He also spent extra time with Jimi and they played in the backyard after each walk. Additionally, I appreciated how communicative Ray was with me and all the pictures that he sent while I was away. I can’t recommend Ray enough!”

About: I only care for 1 dog at a time, so your pup always has my full attention. I have years of experience caring for my own special-needs dog, which taught me how to handle medical routines with patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys active beach runs or a slower pace, I’ll adapt to their needs. Above all, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home at my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to accomodate the needs of your dog. It will never be short on care, play, or cuddles. I have a 5 year-old husky mix who lives in our house with fenced yard. We live 20 min away from the beach, minutes from parks and many trails.

About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.

About: I have raised five or six cats at home when I was twelve years old . I have experience in raising kittens. I like kittens and puppies very much. I am very kind and caring. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Monday to Friday afternoon 12:00pm to 6pm I will take good care of your pets at your home or take them out for walks. I will play with them and clean up after them.

About: Hello, My name is Gloria Itzel and I am currently blessed to share my household will a beautiful black and white short haired tuxito cat and two lovely very energetic Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier's. I Love playing sports, staying active, and discovering new things. I believe there is nothing better than to spend that time while hanging out with our amazing lovable furry friends. I would prefer to walk small dogs as I am 5'1 weighing at about 130lbs (hence my choice of breed for companionship are a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier) but any four legged friend of yours is a friend of mine. I am more than pleased to be able to spend some time with your furry friend while staying physically active! Please let me know if you would like any special requests.

“Vivian was great! She responds VERY quickly and was open to walking Lou on a weekend while I had to work which was awesome because it can be really tough finding someone on weekends. I enjoyed reading her walk adventures with Lou! It was very detailed and we have plenty of pics. Thanks so much!”
