“Cyndi was so great with our dogs. They connected with her immediately and greeted her with enthusiasm on every visit. Friendly and reliable— our dogs definitely loved Cyndi’s visits and the variety of walks she took them on. We plan to have her care for our dogs again on future trips if she’s available.”

About: My name is Danielle and I love caring for animals of all kinds. I currently take care of a small dog, Bubs, and a cat, Moose. As a pet owner I know how important your animals are to you. I am punctual, dependable, trustworthy, and know how to keep your pet engaged. I have been caring for animals most of my life and it brings me so much joy. I am usually the friend people call when they need their house or pet looked after. I am good at communicating and can keep you updated with texts or photos. Thank you for your consideration I am self employed and have a flexible schedule. I like to pick up pet care work when I have extra time and as a source of extra income. I can take your dog on engaging walks and get them easily into their crate if needed. I can check on their food/water, give them pets, treats, or engaging playtime. I love connecting with your pet and tending to their specific needs. I can update you on how they are doing and if there were any issues.

About: We have been caring our rescued chihuahua mix since 2018. We have also help our friends and families babysit their dogs when they go on vacation. My partner and I currently working remotely at home; thus, our schedule is flexible. Once we are done with our work, we have plenty of time to serve your pet. I will treat your pet like my own pet. I will make sure your pet has access to water easily and have meals at their regular time.

“Yasmin was so incredibly great with my dog! I have a very hyper little dog and she was so patient and kind with him. She took him for long walks (even in this heatwave!) and made sure he had water after they were done. She also takes the cutest pictures that I have saved many to my phone. She even provides an update of how the walk went and what happened with her walking card which definitely going above and beyond. If you need a great dog walker I would highly recommend her because she is so amazing!”

“Rebecca is great with my dog and even brought him a companion one day. He needs more socialization with other dogs, so this was perfect for him. A very thoughtful and helpful touch.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own—including a older pup—so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand the extra care and patience senior dogs need, whether it’s slower walks, administering meds, or just making them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every dog like family and make sure their routine is followed closely so they feel right at home with me. My schedule is very flexible—I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended care, I’m here whenever you need me! I ensure each walk is safe, fun, and suited to your dog’s needs—whether that’s a slow stroll, energetic walk, or potty break. Whatever is needed!

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 4 bigs dogs. Recently I’ve been doing walks on apps, I’ve done over 70+ services ranging from taking care of old pets to very young ones. People always set me as their preferred walker since they love that I listen to their rules and go on long walks with their dogs. For a 60 minute walk I average about 2-3 miles, depending on the dog. I’m currently a student at San Jose State University and I look forward to doing some walks or other services on the weekends when I’m back home, also I can do walks or sittings on the weekdays when I off school. I have a fenced yard, the dogs and cats are allowed in the house and my room. I will make sure to always keep a lookout and have them be where I am at.

“Brenda was awesome. We were so lucky she was available last minute and made everything so easy for us. She sent us great updates with lots of photos. Best of all, we could tell she really loved our dog and took great care of him. Highly recommend.”

“We are just starting with weekly walks and Harold has been very patient with Penny who is nervous and not ready to leave the house with a stranger yet. He has given her space and has not pressured her. Very appreciative.”

Lisa R.

“This is a repeat hire due to the success and quality of the previous walk . Our Malinois is well rested after the walk , and communication with Judy was clear and comfortable . Heartily recommended!”

About: I grew up with pets (cats, dogs, hamsters, parrots, fish) as a kid. When I lived in SF during high school, I was a babysitter and sometimes house-sat and pet-sat dogs and cats for neighbors in Bernal Heights. After moving to the East Bay, I've been in school and working other jobs, so I stopped pet-sitting. As a recent graduate, I have the time, and I would love to care for your pet. I'm a recent graduate, and I am currently looking for a flexible part-time job, and therefore, pet care can fit into my schedule and daily routine. When taking care of your pet at home, I put safety first, so building trust with the pet is my priority, and I do so by being patient and understanding.

“Alexandra is great! Very responsive to messages and great with our dogs. She also pays attention to details and points out anything of concern, including noticing a tick on one of our dogs that we were than able to take care of. She has been super helpful and we utilize her services anytime we can!”

“Rebecca is great! She’s very patient and flexible with my two senior pups, and responds quickly to messages. A total godsend for a busy day.”

About: Pet is part of my family. I grew up in a family with pets all the time and have extensive experience taking care of dogs and cats! I am currently working remotely and have enough time to take care of all the pets! My house has a big backyard for dogs to run and play and enough space inside the house for them. The house has fenced backyard and I am mainly working remotely, so I am able to pay attention to the pets most of the time!

“Josephine (JoJo) was great! She is reliable, punctual, friendly, and very sweet. She jumped right in to feed him and get him ready for his walks... Our dog loved her instantly and trusted her to go on walks and leave "mommy" behind. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.

“Linda is great! Boutros and I are looking forward to an extended relationship!”
