“Evan was great! He met with Koda every day during scheduled times, and sent us picture updates. When our schedule changed, he was very flexible as well. Thanks again!”

About: My Pet Care Experience Growing up, I had the joy of sharing my life with a variety of pets, each teaching me something unique about responsibility, empathy, and companionship. Over the years, I’ve cared for hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, and turtles, and every one of them left a lasting impact on me. As a child, my hamsters taught me patience and attentiveness through their delicate care needs. Feeding them the right diet and cleaning their habitat were my first lessons in responsibility. With dogs and cats, I learned the importance of building trust and providing unconditional love. They showed me how meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Bunnies and turtles required different forms of care, from maintaining specific diets to creating environments that matched their natural habitats. These experiences taught me how to adapt and tailor my care to meet the needs of each pet. Even caring for fish required a level of diligence, as maintaining a clean tank and balanced water conditions was essential for their well-being. Now, as an adult, I deeply appreciate how much these experiences shaped my understanding of what it means to care for animals. Pets aren’t just companions; they’re beings that rely on us for their health, happiness, and safety. This realization drives my dedication to providing the best care possible for my current and future pets. Whether it’s ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular vet check-ups, or just spending quality time with them, I believe that having pets is both a privilege and a commitment. Caring for animals has not only made me more responsible but has also brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I always make time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Currently, as a student on vacation, I have plenty of free time during the holidays to dedicate to their care, including playing with them, grooming, and keeping their spaces clean. During the semester, I usually have classes in the mornings, but my afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide attention, exercise, and care for the pets. I enjoy creating a balance between my responsibilities and spending quality time with them, as I believe this is key to building a strong bond and keeping them content. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always prioritize building trust with the pet, creating a bond that ensures they feel safe and comfortable with me. The place where I live is fenced and quiet, making it a safe environment for pets. However, I understand that pets often feel more comfortable staying in their own home, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. For this reason, I am more than happy to care for them at their place if that’s preferred. Regardless of the location, I make sure to follow their specific routines, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and ensure their needs are met with love and care.

“Kelsey has walked my dogs on two separate occasions and I won't hesitate to use her again. She sends updates with photos, which I greatly appreciate. My 2 doggos can be quite the handful, but she manages them without issue - I would recommend Kelsey for your pet care needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, birds and fish ever since I was a little kid! I love animals and they have always enjoyed my company as well. :) I am currently in-between jobs, and I can be available at any time in Los Altos, CA starting end of April! I look forward to being in contact! I will be able to provide your pet with any kind of service they need. This can range from walks, baths, meals and playtime! Let me know which service you would like me to provide!

About: A couple of years ago, I worked for Primal Canine Dog Training as a Kennel Tech and was training to become a dog trainer. As a Kennel Tech., I cared for about 20 dogs a day, all different breeds and sizes. I cleaned their kennel area, feed them, gave them water, took all of them on walks, did agility training through an obstacle course on-site, worked on their basic obedience, showered them, cleaned up any messes they made, and of course, gave them lots of treats, pets, and overall, love. Since I left Primal Canine, I have continued my dog care and training through working with owners like yourself in taking care of their dogs. I have been walking many dogs as well as dog/house sitting. The difference from working at Primal Canine and working as an independent dog caretaker is that I now have the opportunity to develop a stronger and closer bond with each dog I care for since I spend more time with them. I also used to live with two Pomeranian dogs and worked with dogs on film sets, filming them as they "acted" on command. To me, all dogs, no matter how big, are like little children. They need to be loved, respected, played with, strengthened, and guided to do the right actions. I see each dog has its own unique & individual self. In this, I treat each dog different from others and with the same love and respect I'd give for all dogs.

“Coco was great will Bella! Coco arrived on time and took Bella out for walk in neighborhood. Coco made sure that Bella felt relaxed and had fun while walking.”

“Mike was perfect. I contacted him last-minute and we didn’t even get to do a meet and greet. He figured everything out with our house and our dog loved him right away. Mike communicated clearly and frequently and gave our dog the attention and activity he needed!”

About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors

About: I cared for my own dog for 8 years, which gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, exercise, feeding, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs at different stages of life. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I’m patient, calm, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very reliable and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routines. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I recently graduated from UC San Diego and am currently back home while searching for my first full-time role, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I can easily accommodate different routines and timing needs. Whether your pet needs consistent daily care or more last-minute support, I’m happy to be flexible. Because of my availability, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and not rush visits, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent, since that helps them feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive during visits and make sure pets are safe at all times, including keeping doors and gates secure, watching for anything unusual in their behavior, and providing updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also patient and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.

“Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for and owned dogs, cats, reptiles, and rats since I was a kid. I love dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperaments. Currently I just have a quail. I love caring for animals of all kind! I am patient and am open to caring for pets with special needs, especially with detailed instructions. Non-traditional pets don’t scare me, although spiders are not my favorite. They’re cute, I just don’t want to touch them. Haha. Am happy to take doggos on fun outdoor walks and give them lots of exercise! Cats will get lots of exercise, playing, and love, catered to their preferences. I currently work part-time tutoring kiddos virtually, and caring for my elderly Father-in-law in Monterey some weekends. I prefer drop-in care and giving walks, but am open to house-sitting depending on the details. I am happy to come to your home to meet and talk about the care if your pet(s). I live in a small apartment, so I won't be boarding any animals. Not only do I follow instructions well (I’m an elementary teacher, so I’m good at that), I also love to give animals snuggles and care and am happy to send hourly pictures.

About: Previously owned two cats since I was four years old and one dog since I was eleven, since then, have worked with animals in different roles. Previously worked as a vet technician (unlicensed) in Virginia for roughly 9 months. I am open to shorter shifts, preferably walking and feeding. I am flexible with hours and trying to make your pet as happy as possible I try to acknowledge the way I have felt about the pets I have owned in my lifetime and take that same level of care and energy into others’ lives and their pets

About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)

About: Hello, Pawrents — welcome to our profile! We know how important it is to find the right sitter — someone you can trust to treat your dog like family. You deserve peace of mind knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. My husband Drew and I are dog lovers who truly enjoy spending time with fellow pet people. In 2023, we adopted our sweet pup, Clover, when she was just a few months old, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Caring for her deepened my passion for dogs and inspired me to pursue pet care full-time. Clover is now 2 years old and extremely well-socialized. She attended weekly puppy socials for over a year and loves adventures to parks, malls, beaches, and dog-friendly restaurants. I now offer full-time dog boarding and dog walking, and while Drew works outside the home, he often helps out and brings years of experience from having his own dogs for over two decades. We have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play, and we make it our mission to ensure every pup in our care has a fun, loving experience — whether they’re staying with us or joining us for a walk. Both Drew and I are certified in pet CPR and first aid, so your furry family member is always in safe hands. Because to us, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. 💕🐶🐾 Being a full time pet sitter allows me to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of love. Flexible availability. We have a fully fenced yard. Our dog is very friendly and well trained. She would love to keep your dog company. Keeping your dog happy and safe is my priority.

“We just started with Gloria and she has been great with our large golden doodle which is no easy task. Very professional, shows up on time, delivers timely feedback and progress reports. Would highly recommend Gloria.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments, including large breeds like German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping pet areas clean. I am available in the mornings and evenings, sometimes could do afternoon playtime. I follow each pet’s individual routine and preferences and adjust timing as needed. I provide calm, reliable care in a safe, familiar environment for your pet, carefully following routines and instructions while keeping owners informed with regular updates.

About: I grew up in a multiple pet family; taking care of the cats, ducks and family dog. Over the last couple decades I have rescued animals including my cat 20 years ago. I have also enjoyed caring for my friends and family animals while away, and any stray wildlife that comes my way too:) Right now I am working to start a resin company, and have a very flexible schedule. My care schedule for my animals is structured but flexible, so we can work with many different demands, my cat communicates surprisingly well :) I follow whatever instructions are given before and during visits, care and safety are of the utmost importance. If there is ever a question, I do really love communication so I'm asking and my ears are always perked!

About: I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was 10 around my neighbourhood and for friends and families! I also grew up with dogs in my family I am currently home for the summer from college, until August 31st, I have tons of flexibility! I am happy to help out in the mornings and evenings/overnight stays. I care for the pets by making sure they get their needs as requested. Including walks for dogs and making sure they feel as seen as possible. I also care for cats as well.

About: I’m a current Stanford student missing my best friend back home! So I have lots of extra love to give. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs (my sweet girl is 12 years old!). I personally understand how important it is to find a sitter/walker you can truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra company and care, I’ll treat them like my own. I also have experience with senior dogs and working with reactive dogs on leash. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m currently training for a half marathon and would love a running buddy! I'm available all-day from Saturday to Monday for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting. I can also do walks/check-ins after 3pm on Tuesday, Thursday mornings/afternoons, and after 5pm on Fridays. I understand how important walk and play-time is for dogs, so I'll provide the most enriching time possible! I will only care for your pet in your home. Let me know about your dog's schedule and routine and I will accommodate to best fit their needs!

“Meric is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. He’s kind, conscientious, gentle with an old dog and made sure Remi was watered and fed as well. He matched Remi’s mood and either hung out or exercised him. We would definitely use him again.”
