About: I've grown up with 6 labs, 2 cats, numerous fish, hamsters, and other assorted animals. I love being around dogs the most and treat everyone's pet as I would my own. Walks, play-time, dog-sitting, or check-ins - whatever you need, I'm your guy! I work remote 2 days a week and I'm home (alone) every day starting around 6pm. Taking care of your pets would help me fill my time with some good company! I can't house any pets at my residence, but I'll respect any and all guidelines for pet care at your home, the park, or any walk we go on.

“As always, Thaina was super helpful! Our cats are so calm even after us traveling for 2 weeks. Also great attention to details. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! My name is Miyuko based in San Mateo and I am excited to meet your furry friend 🐶 🦴 I’ve consistently pet-sat for family and friends over the years and sometimes for months at a time. I'm also a proud older sister to my family dog, a 3-year old miniature poodle, as shown in my photo gallery. 🐩 Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and I look forward to providing the same love and attention to yours. 🥰 I'm currently taking time to explore my next career path, which means my schedule is very open and flexible. I also run a small nail business from home, so I'm around throughout the day and able to easily balance that with giving your pet the attention and care they need. I'm always mindful of my surroundings during walks, paying close attention to leash length, nearby dogs, and the environment. When walking near busy roads, I keep the leash securely close to my body for added control and safety. At home, I stay attentive to your dog’s behavior, whether they need to go outside, are hungry, or want engagement. I treat every pet with care, patience, and respect for their unique needs and routines.

About: Please let me hang out with your dog :) This will be mutually beneficial- I’ll take your dog for a walk and some play time and you’ll be able to rest easy! I currently do not have my own dog due to space limitations in my own home, as well as a work travel schedule that sends me to Asia for brief periods every few months. I love all dogs- I grew up with a reactive Akita for 16 years, from puppy to senior. I have done sprinkles of weekend overnight stays for friends and family, before moving to the Bay Area from SoCal 4 years ago. When in my care, all dogs are treated like they’re my own!! I am cautious when meeting for the first time and observant to stressed behaviors but also am able to recognize when to just have fun! I work full time in office on weekdays, usually Tuesday-Thursday. Would love to help dog walk during my evening work calls from 5 pm-7pm! Weekends are totally flexible. I prefer to maintain a high level routine schedule and don’t mind sending status updates! It’s the pet’s world and I’m just here to be the opposable thumbs and help avoid any nervous furniture chewing!

About: Hi! I do work a full time job - but enjoy pet/house sitting for extra cash. Happy to house sit, multiple pets is also not a problem. Originally from Mass, moved to CA last April. Will be around throughout the holiday season. Check out my reviews - can provide more references if needed (dog sit quite a bit off Rover, as well). Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out! Super flexible cancellation if things come up. Reliable and trustworthy! Thanks in advance! I work full time, so usually a weekend/holiday sitter. If you have a night time need, can sometimes make an exception depending on my schedule. I prefer to sit at your home (I’m a renter with the inability to keep pets at my current place). Please consider that when booking!
