Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH with senior dog experience!
I had a senior rescue dog of my own (blind and deaf and so sweet), and work from home full time. Happy to hang with your pup during the day and give them a safe, comfy place to relax! No yard, but I do have a park nearby. I’d be the best fit for smaller, lower energy pups, as I live in a very small apartment.

Ratings and reviews
My 14-year-old mischievous pup Oliver is my world, and leaving him with anyone is incredibly hard, so I’m very grateful to have found Callie. She understands not only how wonderful senior dogs are, but also how they sometimes need extra care. Oliver had an unrelated reaction to a new medication while staying with her, and she handled everything beautifully. She was proactive, spoke with his vet, picked up a new prescription, and brought him in when things didn’t improve. She recognized the signs early and prevented it from becoming more serious. Callie is the absolute best. I trust her completely and cannot recommend her more highly.
Callie is a genuinely kind and loving pet caregiver who quickly became my dog’s favorite person. She’s an active and enthusiastic companion, taking my dog on beach trips, hikes, and making time for snuggles. Callie is also incredibly responsible, carefully handling medications, drying floppy ears to proactively avoid his constant ear infections, and tending to all the little details that keep a pet happy and healthy. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and truly loving pet sitter!
Callie is absolutely wonderful! She has a wealth of experience caring for senior dogs - showing so much love, patience, and understanding. She's comfortable handling medication and giving a little extra help getting around to pups. She has an amazing ability to stay calm and prepared in case of an emergency. If you want someone who not only has the skills and experience to care for dogs with special needs but also truly adores them, Callie is the perfect choice!
Our dog loves Callie so much that sometimes she didn't want to leave when we come to scoop her up! I'd be more hurt if it didn't make me feel so at ease knowing that my pup was having her own vacation every time I took her to Callie's. I also love how experienced Callie is with dogs with medical needs. There's never any hesitation on giving meds or special meals when our dog needed them! Callie, please move back to the Bay! April the dog misses you!

Schedule
I work from home, so will be with your pup throughout the day. We can go out for walks as often as your pup needs!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in apartment building, so we will likely encounter other dogs on our way in/out - please let me know if they are dog reactive!
A typical day
We usually start the day with a longer walk, and then the pups settle in for a nap while I start my workday. We can walk as often as needed, and there’s a park very close by.
