About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and relatives have relied on me for walks, feeding, and grooming. I enjoy taking care of pets(in general) because I love seeing their personalities shine through and it’s rewarding to see them enjoy their time with me. As always I make sure the care I give is the same a their owners because I want to make sure the routine doesn’t change. I work from home which is convenient because my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually free in the afternoons from Monday to Wednesday (1-7pm). Thursdays are my busiest days at work as I have meetings all day until 5pm. And most Fridays I’m free as well(10:30am-6pm) When doing visits, I will be attentive of your pet and their environment at all times. Every visit I’ll make sure they’re well fed, water is fresh, and play with them as needed. Please let me know if there are specific instructions that I need to follow when I’m at your residence. I’m by a school and a neighborhood park where walking dogs is pretty common during the day so I would plan to walk around that area (unless suggested otherwise). I’m also familiar with a bunch of parks that are dog/pet friendly in the peninsula so your pet will always be entertained and safe in my care.
“Meghann is personable and a pro. I have an insecure rescue pup and she was great with him and knew how to slowly establish trust. I would definitely work with her again when needed.”
About: I have volunteered and helped cats at the Peninsula Humane Society since 2016. I have experience with socializing shy cats and kittens. I have also been a cat mom for the past two years and neighbors have asked me to watch their cats as well. I have experience with administering medication orally and through injections. I also have experience socializing, playing, and walking small to medium sized dogs! I currently live in San Bruno and work full-time in San Mateo so I will always be nearby for a visit to your pet. I am entirely free on weekends so I may be able to drop in for a visit earlier in the day. I am always diligent about following guidelines set aside for me. I understand that every household is different, so I do my very best to learn and adapt to any changes as needed.
About: I have had dogs and cats under my care my whole life. One cat had ceribal hypoplasia and required assistance with all aspects of life bathroom, walking, getting into bed for naps and eating. My 2 cats that I have now are mine and each others emotional support. They are both harness and leash trained and stroller trained. I am a rare Male Cat Lady :) I am attending college after a 17 year hiatus and most of my classes are on-line. I have my own small business in computer repair and IT. I make my own schedule and can fit pet care into that purrr-fectly I would care for your pets as if they were my own. Following your instructions to the letter and showering them in love or giving space as needed to each individual personality.
“Venora is highly professional, responsible, and always on time. Comes across as a caring, empathetic person. She bonded with my dogs very quickly. It usually takes time for my younger dog, Cooper to feel comfortable with a new person, but he quickly came around to her friendly, smiling manner. She is definitely someone we would use as the need arises. I can unequivocally recommend her as an excellent dog walker.”
“Lehna has been great. Athena runs out the door to great her so I know she's being well cared for when she's with Lena and having fun. Lehna arrives on time and we've been grateful to have her.”
About: I've babysat and walked all my cousins and aunts dogs for several years now. Dogs love me and their safety and happiness is my priority. As a community college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. It fits easily into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s morning or afternoon, I’m available and committed to giving pets the attention they need. I provide safe, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality. I make sure they get exercise, attention, and fresh water. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I always treat your dog with care, love, and the same respect I’d give my own.
About: Hello! My name is Laura, and I'm a full-time hybrid worker who would like to meet more cats and dogs in the area. I am from a very small town in Vermont, where I grew up with various types of animals. I have always loved animals of all kinds, but especially cats and dogs. In middle school, I began to pet-sit cats, dogs, rodents, and horses for my neighbors and their friends. In High School, I started house-sitting to give animals better and longer-term care. I am very active and would love to take your dogs on walks all around North Beach and beyond. I work remotely so I have flexibility to fit your schedule. I am an early riser and start work around 7 and finish around 3. If you’re nearby I can do bathroom/walk breaks during the day. Or, I’m willing to work from your apartment to give your pet more time and attention! I do not have a yard so your home might be the better fit. That said, if you have a preference for your dog to spend time at my home that’s perfectly fine!
“Craig was fantastic! He met our pup Hutch ahead of our scheduled walks and tailored to them to Hutch’s activity level with some great hikes on Montara mountain. Craig is super easy going and responsive. We hope Hutch gets the opportunity to walk with Craig again soon!”
“Zheng was amazing! I was a little nervous as this was my first Rover booking but Zheng made sure Juneau was well taken care of with treats while observing her behavior during her first walk. Photos and updates from the walk were super helpful”
“Alyssa was on time and very communicative. my two pups were very happy when I got home. She walked for an hour and brought them back safely. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I have a big house with many comfortable spots to choose from. There is plenty of yard for your curiosity and a warm deck to soak up some sunshine. The house is pet friendly and clean.

About: Since I grew up in a smaller town, I’ve been taking care of neighbors’ pets for as long as I can remember! I have experience with all different types of pet personalities, from big and rowdy to anxious and quiet. This means I’m very attentive to each pets’ specific needs and can adapt quickly! I’m currently working part time! My work schedule changes every week, but I receive my schedule for the entire month at the beginning of every month so planning for future visits will be easy. I will still have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My priority for your pet will always be safety and comfort! This means I will make sure to closely follow the instructions provided by you for walking, feeding, and any special care like medicines.

“Aimi has been so kind and flexible as she is dealing with two (2) wonderful but stubborn bulldogs. The dogs are enjoying her patience and love.”
Katrina A.
“Katrina helped me care for my beloved cats when I went away for a work trip for several days. She was caring, attentive, and responsive. She asked thoughtful questions that helped her determine the health and wellness of my cat and made me feel reassured that my cat sitter knew how to handle cats (and animals in general). Katrina played with the cats, fed them, and took care of litter and general cleaning of their things. She is one of the few people my cat is comfortable around! She is great to work with and I will definitely ask her to help me in the future.”

Josephine has been cat sitting for my sister for a while now. I was in a bit of a jam as my regular dog walker wasn’t available. I reached out to Jo and she was very quick to respond.
