I'm a bay area native taking a little sabbatical from regular life. Thought it'd be nice to spend some time with 4-legged friends. I've got plenty of time and plenty of space at my house in the Parkside area of San Mateo. Close to a couple dog parks too. I'm dog, cat, and even people friendly. No real "professional" experience with animals but I've had pets of my own and cared for those of friends and neighbors. Did spend most of a decade working with children and another dozen years in restaurant so care giving is second nature to me. Pretty flexible schedule right now as long as I'm not out of town myself. And definitely know that I will take care of your fur friends as though they were my own.
