Pet Sitting in San Carlos

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.

“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!”

“We came back and saw our cats safe and healthy thanks to Criss. She helped us with feeding and playing with our cats and also cleaning up their litter and dishes. She is very patient and taking very good care with our cats, following all the instructions. Thanks to her, we had a wonderful vacation out of town without worrying too much on our cats. She even goes extra miles providing the visit summary to us every day and keeping our house clean. Definitely recommend her!”

About: Ive spent my entire young life with animals of all shapes and sizes from horses to birds to many different breeds of dogs and cats. I walked many neighborhood dogs all four years of middle school, worked at Bow Wow Meow for some time in highschool, and Smilin Dogs just a few years back. A few of the things i took care of while there; bathing and nail trims, caring for 20+ dogs at a time with light training, feeding on a schedule and putting dogs down for naps or bedtime. I have two puppies and a three year old dog at home, aside from that i have all the time in the world to care for your furry family members! I can help with basic training for dogs young and old, i believe no dog is past the point of learning a new trick or two. I can also follow any kind of schedule you set as far as feeding, walking, and naps/bedtime.

“Jenny took fantastic care of my cat while I was away for the holidays. She sent lots of great photos and was quick to respond. I’ll definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, small rodents, and farm animals all my life, all of which I’ve taken care of in different ways with the most love I can. I am always ready to for changes and for caring for each individual animal the way that works best for them.

I can easily follow instructions based on the clients needs and the pets needs. I can feed, crate, take to the bathroom, walk, or bathe depending on what is wanted and only do what is wanted by my client.

But I have been offering professional pet care for 6 years, to friends and family. I’m happy to accommodate to any specialized care instructions!

I provide attentive visits that include feeding, fresh water, walks or cleaning, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on your pets personality. I’ll give them gentle care, attention, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.

“Kim is our go to sitter! She was kind enough to watch our kitties on Christmas Day. Our cats were very excited to see her again! She’s great at giving medications, even though our cat Pebble throws a fit when it’s time for her medicine. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Kim!”
