Pet Sitting Redwood Shores

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.

About: I have been raising a cat for more than 8years. I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the longest time as well. I have hosted doggos from friends and neighbors for 3-5 times. I am pretty flexible on weekends. For weekdays, I need to leave for work early, so the visit is preferably after 3pm. On Monday or Thursday I get home after gym sessions so it will be after 7pm I respect all animal’s own personality. I do not get close at first especially if they showed fear or stress. I check food expiration before feeding. I do not go to areas that I do not need to go. I will come by with full covered clothes in case of accidents. I will treat your baby the same way I cherish mine. My boyfriend might come with me if I am taking care of a dog to help out in case.

“Best money ever spent! Mackenzie was reliable, helpful, friendly, punctual- all around perfect! Can't wait to hire her again for our Doodle when we are away.”

About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Currently available all day and can be available for evenings and/or overnights if needed. Happy to spend time with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, but they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.

About: I prioritize the safety and happiness of your dog combined with clear and prompt communication with you! Vacation can be stressful to prepare for...rest confidently that your pet is being cared for by someone who loves animals! Pet care is what I centrally plan around. From my day to day to my evenings and weekends! I am working as a side job but give my full attention and care because our companions are our family! I will treat your dog and home as if it were my own. A well exercised dog is a happy and sleepy dog! I would do my best to give them the stimulation and attention they'll need to thrive in your absence!

“Xilin was an amazing cat sitter! She did daily drop-in visits while I was on vacation and took such great care of my cat. Every visit, she made sure he was fed, his litter box was cleaned, and his water was refilled. She also spent time playing with him and giving him attention, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean space. I would absolutely book Xilin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”

Not only am I a lifelong animal lover, but I also have experience in basic pet training, ensuring your furry friends follow commands while in my care. Additionally, I provide daily updates and pictures, so you can feel connected and informed while you’re away. Each visit includes personalized playtime tailored to your pet’s unique personality, ensuring they feel loved and engaged. I will give your pets the pampering and attention they deserve!

I live in an apartment in Redwood Shores with access to dog friendly grounds, open space, and walking trails. I tailor my care to your pets individual needs and schedule. All pets should be house trained, and up to date with vaccinations (flea & tick, rabies, etc.).

“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including birds, rodents, cats, and dogs of all ages. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality traits, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. My friends often joke that I love animals more than people. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My primary focus is drop-in visits and house sitting, as many pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and updates while you’re away. I also offer boarding for pets who do well away from home, providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment where they’ll be treated like family.

“Very thoughtful and wonderful pet sitter. Criss looked after my two cats and sent lots of photos, gave me thorough updates, and kept everything neat and tidy. She is an excellent cat sitter! Would highly recommend her!”

About: For the past two years, I have had the rewarding experience of caring for an anxious dog. This journey has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and consistency in pet care. I approach each interaction with care and respect, recognizing the unique needs and personalities of each pet. By creating a calm and supportive environment, I have helped my dog feel more secure and confident. This experience has deepened my commitment to providing gentle and compassionate care to all pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved. My schedule is open, allowing me to provide daily walks, healthy treats, and lots of pets, ensuring your pet receives the best care at any time. I can't take pets into my home, but I'm available to stop by and provide walks, healthy treats, and lots of pets in your home.

“Julissa took such great care of our kitties while we were away! She was on time, attentive, and really took the time to engage with our kitties. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Growing up with dogs has given me years of hands-on experience understanding different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I currently have an 8 year old golden retriever of my own, so caring for dogs is naturally part of my everyday life. I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they are my own. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and comfort level so they get personalized care instead of just being “watched.” I’m also very patient with high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive interactions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, or giving extra attention to anxious pets, I make sure each dog gets the care they need. I’m currently a college student who is home for summer break, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention and care throughout the day! I’m available for walks or drop-ins during weekdays at any time, and I have open availability on most weekends. Since I already have a dog of my own, pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can stay as stress-free as possible while their owner is away. I make sure pets get plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection, while also sticking to feeding schedules and any instructions provided by the owner. Growing up around dogs and having a golden retriever of my own has taught me how important patience, trust, and consistency are when caring for animals.

“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”

“Bergen was amazing with my cat! She kept me updated with photos and messages every visit, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. She went above and beyond and made sure my cat felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
