About: I grew up owning and training dogs, mostly German Sherpards, which made me comfortable around all types of dogs. I am trained to teach your dog commands such as sit, stay, wait and heel. Due to my experience with bigger & sick dogs I am able to effectively calm an excited dog down during a walk and I know how to get creative when it comes to giving your doggo their medication. I believe a dog is an extension of their own and should be treated with the upmost respect, care and love. My schedule is flexible, I am available in the mornings, afternoons and mid evenings. I am currently in between jobs and have a lot of time during the week to care for your doggie. I have a fenced yard which is perfect for your dog to play in, I do not have carpeted floors which is beneficial in case there is an accident. I am also able to crate tracing your dog.

“Vivian is the best and continues to be our go to dog walker! Always goes above and beyond and our dog adores, Vivian. Professional, communicative, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”


About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Future Nurse Offering Compassionate Pet Care ❤️🐾🦮 I’m a future nurse and animal lover with a lifelong passion for caregiving and animals. I’ve cared for pets at all life stages, including bottle-feeding kittens to supporting seniors with medical needs, or those who simply just need walking and some extra play-time 🐶🎾🐕🦺! I administered IV fluids, gave daily medication, and provided supportive to my own cat battling lymphoma. That experience, along with fostering kittens, volunteering at shelters, and even working with human patients in hospitals, has strengthened my ability to provide attentive, loving care. I have tons of experience walking dogs and providing in-home sitting for both cats and dogs, as well as other small animals. Whether your pet is young, old, or needs extra support, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My strong passion for caregiving both through pet care and my education as a pre-nursing student sets me apart. My passion for healthcare strengthens my ability to prioritize safety, attentiveness, and compassion in every interaction. I provide personalized, reliable care that comes from the heart. As a part-time pre-nursing student taking fully asynchronous, virtual courses, I have the flexibility to care for pets on a schedule that works best for you, 7 days a week. Because my coursework is self-paced and online, I’m able to give your pet my full, hands-on attention, whether it’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I care for all pets with patience, love, and close attention, whether they’re energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra support. BOARDING 🏠 I can do hourly bathroom breaks based on your pet’s needs. I have a decent sized yard that is fenced in and private. This is great for playing with dogs in between walks if your pet enjoys fresh air and a little sun. I live with one pet, another cat who is healthy! She is friendly and gets along with all animals. She is vaccinated and spayed. When providing boarding, especially for dogs, it is important to me that they work well with cats. I only board one dog at a time. HOUSE-SITTING 🏘️🔑 In your home, I follow your routine exactly to keep things consistent and comfortable for your pet. I can provide hourly bathroom breaks. SAFETY AND TRUST 🤝 With my background in healthcare and passion for caretaking, I bring a calm, safe, and reliable presence to every home I enter. You can rest assured knowing your pet is with someone with a passion for not only animals but animal health and safety. I have a lot of experience with animals and can be trusted, whether your pet is staying with me or if I am staying in your home!

“Katie was great! Very communicative, timely and sent great pictures of Churro. She made me feel super comfortable, thanks for treating him so well!!”


“Paige was fantastic! She was on time, reliable, and very communicative with her reports. She took great care of our dog, who loves her now! She always gave our dog her full attention, made sure to stick to our training goals, and gave our puppy plenty of playtime.”


About: I have been pet sitting and taking care of animals since I was a teenager. I started out helping family and friends when they went out of town and then began volunteering at the local spay and neuter clinic. My job there was to help the animals in recovery who had just gotten out of surgery. I have always loved animals, especially cats and dogs. I am unavailable in the evenings but mornings and afternoons any day of the week work great for me. My most convenient days would be Tuesday’s and Fridays but I am open to weekends and other days as well I like to go over to the clients house and start by just getting to know the pet. If they are shy I try to hang out around the house for a little while until they get used to my presence and feel more comfortable around me. Once I have been established as a friend and not a threat I will take them on a walk to the park or play with any toys they have around. I enjoy walking so dogs that like long walks are a good fit for me.

About: My family always had dogs growing up as a kid and around the age of 10 I started working with family members to train dogs. After the Marine Corps I have had two working service animals. I feel a special bond with dogs and they know I put their well being first. Taking care of dogs and reinforcing positive training / habits, and exercise is my full-time job. I love seeing them happy and it makes me happy. I have a fenced in backyard as well as several comfortable lounge furniture pieces. I can also crate your Animal if they are trained for that. What sets me apart is not just boarding your Animal, but taking them out in nature, exercising and socializing with positive reinforcement.


About: My husband and I love dogs and look forward to hosting yours! I am a UX Designer and my husband works in clean energy development. We will care for your dog as if s/he were our own, and pay close attention to any special instructions. We have a 5 year old Pekingese who loves to play with other dogs. We only host one dog at a time, so your dog will get special attention. We enjoy playing and cuddling, in addition to the necessary essentials (walking, feeding, etc). We have a lot of space both indoors and out in our backyard, and we live a few blocks from the park. We have a toddler, and we don’t smoke. We keep our home clean and tidy. We are available for weekend care. We have 10 years of experience caring for dogs. We work mostly from home so we are flexible in terms of schedule. We walk our dog a few times a day and would walk yours with him. Your dog will hang with us and our dog, who is a friendly little guy. If for some reason they don’t get along (unlikely) we will keep them separated.

About: I grew up with large dogs and cats, and have cared for little lap dogs as well as big energetic pups. I also love cats and am excellent at making friends with them, even when they are suspicious. I live with my partner; they also love all sorts of critters and have cared for cats and dogs for years, both at home and with me. They sometimes come with me when their schedule allows, although I will be responsible for your pet. For house sits, we prefer to stay together. I work remotely in San Francisco and can do drop ins or walks throughout the day. I can also stay in your house and work if needed. I am a runner and am happy to take more energetic dogs for a run after I’ve met them a few times. I have cared for a wide range of pets with equally varied temperaments and focus on understanding the needs of each pet. I use Trusted House Sitters with my partner and we have excellent reviews; happy to provide a link if requested.

About: I had two poodles for 10 years and I visit the dog park regularly and help train the dogs of some of the regulars. Dogs are like children - they just want love and attention - and I’m happy to give them! They’ll be walked on my breaks throughout the day, which is around 3 hours. Just think - they’ll be nice and tired! The way you like it! I am super good at calming dogs, playing with them, and identifying what they need, since I had two dogs myself for 10+ years. Let me know what you care the most about when handing the love of your life into the hands of someone else!!

“Madeline is a great walker, responsive and reliable!”


“Samuel is always punctual and communicative on his walks with my dog! He even refilled his water when it was extra hot outside. Really appreciate it!”


About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for 10 years from when they were a puppy to now senior, they all need love throughout the day! So I know the ins and outs of taking care of animals! Currently this summer I just graduated from UC Berkeley and have the flexibility to check on your best friend or for a long walk around to the neighborhood or their favorite park! I tailor each walk to your pet’s needs and personality! Be it a slow walk or one where they can run around with their favorite toy! I’ll treat your pet like family because they are! So let’s get those paws moving!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments for 4+ years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving their pets like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and at home—whether it's just for a night or a longer stay. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs and giving meds if needed. I currently work part-time, which leaves plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding and pet care only on Sundays and Mondays, so your fur baby will have my full attention on those days. I have a safe and welcoming home with a fenced yard. I treat every pet like family, offering a secure, loving environment. I can easily crate your dog if needed and follow any special instructions you provide.

About: I have had a deep love of animals my whole life. During my upbringing I was taking care of dogs and cats of many sizes and ages at home. Since leaving home I have not yet been able to adopt my own pet, so I’ve settled for looking after the animals of my friends and family. This includes dogs and cats, old and young, short visits, walks, and long extended stays. I deeply care for each individual animal I look after, and consider it a deep honor to be trusted with somebody’s furry family member I work from home and have flexible part time hours which will help me have plenty of time to look after your furry family member. My availability is wide and I am generally free on short notice. I am currently not looking after any animals in my apartment due to my landlord not allowing it, hope to change this soon. When looking after pets in their homes, I make sure to follow every possible procedure to keep them as safe and comfortable as possible
