SoYoung is really great! She is very flexible with scheduling & communicate really well. Most importantly, she loves dogs! She is patient with my 2 doodles. Committed to take them on a good long walk & played fetch with them. My dogs came home tired & happy, which is the goal! At the end of the walk she always include pictures, which made me feel very at ease when I'm away. She's trustworthy! :)

Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!

Quianwen was absolutely amazing. Flexible, understanding, and incredibly caring throughout the entire experience. She followed all of the instructions carefully and was so kind, supportive, and loving with Shakti, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s also such a relatable and easy person to communicate with. I would 100% use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving pet care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. Services can include walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m especially patient with shy pets and senior pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment. I have experience caring for pets for friends and family as well as my own throughout my childhood and adult and understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication for peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I take pride in being dependable, clean, communicative, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I work remote so my schedule is flexible. I’m looking for a friendly dog(s) to take to go on walks and jogs in safe environments. Would take them on walks and jogs and spend time with them in safe, pedestrian friendly areas that are local. I’m a Bay Area native and have raised two dogs of my own here so am familiar.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a child. We had a family kitty and other family members had dogs. I have experience taking care of families and friends dogs and cats, whether that was staying at their house and following their routines, taking the dogs out for walks, or simply popping in for their meal time. I have a soft spot for cats, but I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love! I currently don’t have a full time job and am applying to graduate school, so I am available when you need me! I am flexible and can work my routine around your pets’ needs. If you need me to stay over in your home, I will be sure to follow every instruction given, and treat it with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am a guest in your home, and am more than willing to follow any guidelines set by you. My goal is to be seamless and incorporate myself into your pets’ routines, as well as keep your home safe and secure.

About: I’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit. As a full-time homemaker and dog mom, I am home all day and able to provide consistent, attentive care. Your dog will have my full attention for walks, playtime, rest, and anything else they need throughout the day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I love taking dogs to trails and parks nearby for exercise, fun, and potty breaks. They can relax in a crate or snuggle with me on the couch/bed. Fresh filtered water is always available and treats are given as allowed.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for two of my own—a Chihuahua and a Poodle—since I was little. From playful walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m experienced with small breeds, and I’m always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I’m here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always available to give your pup the attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m lucky to have a dog park right in my apartment complex for quick outings, and on weekends, I love visiting larger public dog parks for more space to play and explore. Your pet will always have plenty of activity, attention, and care with me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my place, pets have a clean and cozy space to relax, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime—plus easy access to the dog park in my apartment complex. I follow any routines or special instructions closely, including feeding, medications, or crate training. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I always send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!

About: I am a lifelong lover and owner of pets with over 25 years of experience. Having had companions, including several dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a rabbit, I have a knack and love for caring for and playing with animals. I am a current fur dad as well to an Australian Shepherd and a rambunctious little Seal Point Bengal. By the way, if your dog isn’t prey driven, I don’t mind rollerblading them and helping them to get some exercise if that is an option! All of what I make here by the way is going towards my MBA degree at USC and continuous veterinary bills for my dog with prescriptions and dietary restrictions. Pet care occupies my time outside of my day job and it gives me an excuse to get outside, provides possibilities of having some company and socialization for my dog (she does especially well with puppies), and other opportunities to get out and be the excitement in or exercise opportunity for a fur baby or fur babies outside of my own. I usually give the animal space and time to feel me out, as well as the environment if they are in my home. I know that not all animals warm up right away and that it may take several visits for the animal to become comfortable with me - I am patient and perfectly fine with this.
