Dog Walking Manzanita

About: I’ve always loved animals, I’ve had two dogs! I’ve dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with young playful animals as well as older and quieter animals. I love playing and spending time with them! I work part-time, so have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I love taking dogs on walks and I have flexibility so I can take them out to go to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I can stay overnights for as long as needed. I have a fenced yard and I’m happy to spend as much time as I can with your pets. I’m happy to play fetch with dogs and take them on long and short walks.

About: Hello, my name is Iman, and if you're thinking of how to say it, think of it like the second half of the word Pokemon! From taking care of my own dog, helping my elderly neighbors walk their dogs, and much more, I can handle many breeds from tiny pups to big dogs and I do it with a smile on my face because I love working with these animals. While I only have four official years of house sitting and dog walking professionally, all my life I have been surrounded by dogs and have handled them with care. I hope I get to be your dog's next friend! I have a completely free summer so catering to your pet and their needs will be my upmost priority, and I will absolutely have a blast spending time with them! Since I am fortunate enough to have a dog be a part of my family, I understand how much these tailed animals mean to us, so I always put their safety in mind. For example, If I were to walk them, I would always put myself between the street and them. I'm always checking my surroundings and considerate of other dogs potentially, and more. And things like this are the bare minimum. I hope you can trust me and it won't be a decision you will regret.

About: Howdy I’m Serena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I raised and looked after a variety of animals—including turtles, bunnies, and kittens—which taught me early on that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. As I got older, I became the go-to person for walking dogs and helping friends and neighbors care for their pets, gaining experience with everything from large, high-energy dogs to shy small pets and senior cats. Core Skills & Experience: -Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments (large dogs, small dogs, cats, kittens, seniors) -Kitten & puppy care, including play, supervision, and positive engagement -Senior pet care with patience, gentle handling, and routine consistency -Skilled with high-energy pets and structured walks/playtime -Strong at building trust with shy or anxious animals -Cat-focused care: playful engagement + respecting boundaries and cues -Detail-oriented with feeding schedules, routines, and updates -Experience managing multiple pets at once -Basic pet CPR knowledge (not certified, but familiar with emergency response) What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal. Whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who needs structure and exercise, or taking a slower, more gentle approach with older pets who need extra care and consistency, I focus on meeting them where they are. I especially love caring for cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them mentally engaged, and just as importantly, respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to their behavior and take the time to build trust at their pace—something that’s especially important for shy or more independent cats. Above all, my goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for—like you never left. For safety and peace of mind, I also make it a strict rule to never board dogs and cats together, ensuring a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me extra flexibility—especially on Mondays and Fridays when I’m home and have more availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I’m also available for boarding on weekends (including Fridays), and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time for play, exercise, and attention so your pet never feels overlooked. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every pet. I live in a spacious apartment with a loft setup, giving pets plenty of room to relax and explore, and I have access to a nearby hiking trail that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play for dogs of all sizes. For cats, I provide a clean, enriched space with toys and scratching areas to keep them mentally stimulated. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. For added safety and peace of mind, I maintain a strict rule of never boarding dogs and cats together, ensuring a secure and stress-free environment for all animals.

About: Hi, I'm Isabel! I'm a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have my own pets at home, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've also cared for the pets of friends and family, so I'm comfortable handling a variety of personalities, breeds, and needs. And if your pup comes back a little muddy from our adventure, I'm also happy to give them a bath and send them home fresh and clean! I’m currently working part time, so I’ve got a pretty open schedule most days. Afternoons and evenings work best, although some days I’m completely free! I walk my dog every day and keep her on a regular routine. I’ll walk your dog in their neighborhood so that they’re comfortable and know the area well. I maintain boundaries with other dogs, keeping your pets safely paramount.

“Jody was great with my leash reactive dog. Calm and friendly with my canine who doesn't trust easily. Will definitely be working with Jody again.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including Bernese mountain dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m 26, live in Mill Valley, and work as the general manager of two restaurants in San Francisco. Although my schedule can vary, I’m generally available in the mornings, on weekends, and for overnight care. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing fetch at the park, or simply relaxing and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Since I’m not able to have a pet of my own right now, caring for other people’s dogs and cats is especially meaningful to me! I currently work as a restaurant general manager, so my mornings are usually open before I head to work in the afternoon around 1-3. I typically finish around 9–10 p.m. and am available for early-morning visits, overnight stays, and weekends. My schedule can vary slightly, but I’m happy to communicate clearly and coordinate a routine that works best for you and your pet. I’m unable to host animals in my home, but I’m available for pet sitting in a client’s home. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable around animals of different sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide regular photos and updates.

About: Hi, I’m a teacher M-F and I’m hoping to earn extra $ to offset travel expenses from this past summer and to save for future travel. I love animals and think of this as a win/ win! The photos in my profile are of dogs I’ve cared for over the years (for friends, neighbors, family, and through Trusted Housesitters where I’ve stayed in people’s homes). I look forward to meeting you and your treasured pet. Free and flexible during the day and evening! During the summer months I don’t work. During the school year I’m free between 4pm - 10pm. I’m happy to care for pets in my own home once I’ve gotten to know them as a dog walker. I live near Hampton Park and it is a very dog friendly neighborhood.

About: I have always grown up with pets in the house! I’ve also sat a variety of animals, breeds and temperaments. Always been a big animal lover! I currently have a very flexible and open schedule.

About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

“Chiara is the perfect match for my girl Kanga. Both have lots of energy. Thanks so much for taking Kanga out for a much needed run this morning.”
