Dog Walking North Central

“Rumi may have found her new favorite person in Lizbeth! Rumi is still a puppy and she can sometimes be a bit distracted while on walks. With Lizbeth, however, loose leash walking around the neighborhood wasn't a problem at all, even with skateboarders nearby and leaves blowing in the wind (her absolute favorite thing to lunge at). Lizbeth was communicative, prompt, and from the big smile Rumi had after she came home from her walk, you could just tell that Lizbeth has a special way with dogs. We absolutely loved our experience with Lizbeth and would highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a loving cat mom of 5+ years with a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all ages. I’m competent in simple dog training and am open to dog-sitting/walking, but cats are by far my specialty. I have proven experience building trust and bonding quickly with new cats, even those with behavioral issues or shy demeanors. I’m a teacher looking for extra summer work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends June-August! I can make up to 5 visits on weekends and 3 visits on select weekdays. I will be nannying part time and will be available before 2pm and after 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please message me with any questions! I am soft, gentle and empathetic with all new pets I meet, especially when I’m entering their safe space! My cat was a mean, shy little boy when I adopted him at 7 months; but now at 5 years he’s happy and comfy as can be. I hope to provide this same experience for your pets, whether it be a short drop in or an overnight visit.

“Ruby is absolutely amazing! She is extremely reliable, caring, and communicative. She always makes sure that Lily is safe and makes sure to communicate with me along the way. I highly recommend Ruby! Thank you for everything you do Ruby!”

About: I have lived with cats and a dog since I was a little kid. I have learned to take care of them and walk my dog around the neighborhood. Also, my aunt owned a small farm so I grew up around some bigger animals. (Recent pictures attached =) ) Currently I live in a small place in Burlingame so unfortunately, I don’t have place for a furry friend. Thus, I am looking forward to walk and play with your dog! I have a full time job but it has a pretty flexible schedule. I can adjust my agenda to walk your dog when it is more convenient for you. I an currently not ready to host a pet at my place but as soon as a I have a bigger space your pet will be welcomed.

“Claudia has been great with our dogs! She is really patient especially with our younger dog who can be skittish with strangers. She really takes the time to understand instructions and gives regular updates and sends pictures and videos!”

About: Puppies are my specialty. I have raised over 20 puppies for multiple service dog organizations as well as fostering for a few different rescues. With my experience as a veterinary technician I am very familiar with the care of older pets and those with special needs. I also have almost 20 years of experience walking dogs for other people. I currently work full time but mostly swings shifts 3pm -11pm, so I am available before 3pm while most people are at work. I am also available for late night visits if needed. I treat every client's pet as I would my own. Creating a positive relationship with the animals I work with is most important to me.

About: I have taken care of cats of all sizes from 1 day old kittens to 2-3 years old cats (both neutered, spayed or unneutered, unspayed). I am familiar with their nature. I also walk my friend’s dogs on a regular basis. I am currently working full time. However my evenings after 5 are free. My weekends are most of the time free which means I am open for house sitter as well I have taken care of dogs by taking them for a walk or play fetching with them. For cats, I usually drop by to check if the feeder is working, clean the water fountain or bowl and refill with fresh water, clean their litter box, play with them, etc.

About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University. I stopped working recently, so I have plenty of time to devote and dedicate to pet sitting. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights, depending on what you and your pet’s schedule requires. Please note I do not offer boarding or pet care services in my own home. I have 2 cats who need to be the only animals in the house.

“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with Fumble! She sent updates and photos throughout the walk, which I really appreciated. She’s the kind of walker who genuinely cares, not just someone going through the motions. We’ll definitely be booking with Rebecca again, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive walker for their dog!”

About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.

About: Taking care of dogs started for me with my wonderful and energetic Airedale in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I also take pride in leaving your house as nice as when arrived. For long stays or short, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time nearby and I am not planning holiday travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfortable entrusting me with either or both.

“I was in Tahoe and couldn't return home, so I urgently needed someone to walk my dog. Yao helped quickly despite my absence. Thank you very much for walking Ruby twice, in the morning and evening, on short notice.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties. I have been volunteering with local animals shelters for the past 10+ years; mainly dogs, cats, and small animals. I usually opt to support pet care (feeding, kennel cleaning, walks) and recently I have been supporting surgeries (spays, neuter, etc). From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindess are the pillars to good interactions with animals. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa I’m currently between jobs (biotech in the bay) and am happy to add some structure to my days with pet care. I’m available weekdays for visits, walks, and care. Not able to do boarding or home sits at this time. I will respect your space as if it was my own; no shoes in the house, leave things cleaner than you found it, pet-safety conscientious (ex food risks). When visiting your pets they’ll have my undivided attention and you have my promise to thoroughly review any instructions; big or small.

About: I've been pet/house sitting for seven years for a variety of clients including birds, rabbits, hermit crabs, and even chickens! Personally, I spent ten years caring for four cats and have been caring for my own senior kitizen for sixteen years. I know that animals are as unique as humans and I'm dedicated to ensuring that their specific needs are met. For house sitting, I will bring in mail, water plants, perform light housework and most anything else you request. On drop in visits I spend half an hour to an hour with your pets in addition to general pet care. If you're in the country and in an area with cell service, I'll gladly send you daily updates and photos/videos of your pets! I can't board animals at my home but I'm open to house sitting in addition to pet sitting. I can take both long-term and part-time bookings at your convenience I am sorry to say that I cannot board your animals but I have personal transportation and can go to you! I only have cats so their smell may be on me but that has never caused problems before, both professionally and when visiting my loved ones and their dogs I am free all day Friday through Monday to hang out with your furry, feathered, and finned family. I work in San Francisco Tuesday-Thursday but if needed, I can swing by early in the morning or late at night. I am happy to take your animals on walks or hikes as well as to local dog parks. We can run or stroll depending on energy level. Tell me what you need and I will be happy to provide!

About: I have taken care of and been around many dogs since childhood. Growing up, my first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier. We got him in 2009 and he lived a happy active life until 2021. In 2022, I adopted an Australian Cattle/Great Dane mix. I also have experience caring for and looking after Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Maltese, Pitbulls, and Dachshunds. My schedule is highly flexible! I am able to switch my schedule to my client's needs to make sure their pet is taken care of. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. My dog is super friendly and loves having doggy friends around. I am able to go on long walks and spend time doing enriching activities.

About: My dog recently passed away, Lucky. I can say I was very friendly, sweet, energentic, and gentle owner of Lucky. I loved walking and running with my dog. I have experience taking care of my friend's dogs as well. I am currently on vacation from elementary school. I have my spare time to play with your dog. And I love walking and running. I cannot wait to meet your dog. Parks around my home and very safety zone in my neighborhood. We love pets and I can walk with him anytime and find a good places to walk around my neighborhood.

About: Animals have always been at the heart of both my life and my work. As a trained veterinarian with experience in both small and large animal care, I bring knowledge, gentleness, and genuine warmth to every dog I care for. I grew up with two dogs in a home that truly loved animals, and my dad is also a great animal lover, which made compassion for pets a natural part of my upbringing. I have looked after a dog named Timber while living with my host family, and I have also taken my friends’ dogs on walks. Together, these experiences have shaped a thoughtful, dependable, and affectionate approach to both dog sitting and walking. My goal is to make each dog feel safe, understood, and loved, while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine. I aim to be attentive, dependable, and caring with each dog. If you let me know ahead of time, I am happy to see what flexibility may be possible. Trust and safety are at the heart of how I care for animals. As a trained veterinarian, I bring both knowledge and a calm, observant approach to every dog I look after. I pay attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, energy, and routine, and I believe in creating an environment where they feel secure, respected, and genuinely at ease. In a client’s home, I will care for your dog thoughtfully and responsibly, with warmth, patience, and close attention to detail.
