About: With 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’ll care for your pet like family! As a full-time mom, I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home with my baby. I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and go on walks as needed. I provide a calm and loving environment whether caring for pets at my home or visiting yours. I follow all your instructions and ensure your pet feels comfortable. I keep open communication with you to update on your pet’s well-being!
“Kalli was great. She showed up on time, took Momo out for his full morning walk, sent me photos and let me know how it went. It was so nice to know he was being well cared for. And Momo loved her! I would definitely use her again. Thank you Kalli!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life. I am also a healer so I can unblock and align your pets chakras. Please reach out. I recently quit the corporate world to go back to school full time in the fall. I am available pretty much all the time and look forward to hearing from you. At my home, we have a dog run on the 3rd floor to take dogs potty. I also live in a safe neighborhood to be able to walk dogs for a short or long time. If I’m watching them at your home, you can tell me what works best.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs, large and small, since I was in the 6th grade and volunteered at my local SPCA for several years working with, walking, playing, and feeding the dogs. (As well as cats 🐈) I have owned a large pitt bull terrier for 13 years and recently adopted another pit bull just a few months ago. I am a young, active, and fit young person who can handle a large dog while navigating the city streets! I understand that our pets are our own children and entrusting to leave them with a virtual stranger is a great risk and it is not one I take lightly! I treat every dog I meet and walk as they are my own. Prepared to defend them from the craziness of the outside world while you are at work or enjoying a day off. I am currently only working part-time/on-call for a seasonal show so my schedule is incredibly flexible for day or nighttime walks and visits! I am available Monday-Friday almost all day and Saturdays afternoon I live in a one bedroom apartment downtown so I have to utilize the surrounding parks and dog play areas as much as possible to get my dog to exercise and socializing daily. She has room to play and sleep in between! ☺️
“Megan was so friendly and patient with our dog and was super communicative! Really appreciated photo updates! Highly recommend”
“Luna's husband was great with my dog”
“My dog Odin had a really nice afternoon walk with Maria! She has a calm and gentle energy, which I’ve noticed he does better with in his caretakers. Maria was attentive in asking about his habits and anything to look out for on their walk, as well as communicative about her pick up and drop off (gave me a 5 min notice both times). Highly recommend her!”
“Winston and I love Tami! I always get the best updates and pictures of my dog, and she really cares for his well-being! This is probably the 4th time Tami has walked Winston and I will continue to rely on her. She is simply the best”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 18 years, including everything from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My own dog, Bailey, lived to 18, giving me deep experience with administering meds, handling mobility issues, and reading subtle cues. Back home, I was the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, mostly just for the love of it, not for a paycheck. I’m calm, attentive, and always prioritize safety and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own. No shortcuts, ever. I’m a full-time student with a flexible schedule. I walk for an hour each day, so adding some dog care into the mix is a natural fit. I believe movement, fresh air, and mental stimulation are essential to a dog’s well-being. Every walk will be safe and tailored to the dog’s pace and personality. I always pick up after them, avoid high-traffic areas, keep them on their leash, and let them sniff and explore to their heart’s content. For the safety of your pup, I will not accept large, assertive, or powerful dogs.
“Super communicative, punctual and patient with walking our finicky boxer! Really appreciated the understanding and calmness! Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs since I was 10. I have owned 2 dogs in the past (male and female) and have experience training them to sit, paw, etc. Love playing with them to make sure they get enough enrichment and taking them on walks! I am a musician, so my schedule varies, but I perform and teach private lessons to students during the week, and also perform on some weekends, so we could work something out depending on your needs! With my experience caring for dogs it was at home with a fenced/gated backyard and with constant supervision! Taking them outside every couple of hours for potty breaks is essential and monitoring their food and water intake to make sure they are happy and healthy is vital!
About: I was planning to adopt a doodle over COVID and hesitated due to my work schedule. I ended up falling in love with a Doodle and developed a friendship with his Mom. Now I regularly sit for him while his parents travel. I wanted to extend my dog walking/sitting experience to more families. I work from home so I can easily pop out for walks and sitting. I enjoy dogs and they add value to my day. . Im a caring and professional personal. I've been working in Corporate roles for 20+ years and will extend that professionalism to our relationship over time.
About: I grew up with a gentle German Shorthair Pointer and now am the sole parent to an 8-year-old tuxedo shorthair cat and an 11-year-old Siamese cat. I find I am able to provide a serene and adaptive environment for pets to ensure that they feel secure and trusted by me while their owners are away. I am able to administer medicine or take care of other special needs. Feel free to let me know if you have any inquiries! I appreciate your time. I am moving to the Bay Area before August 8, 2025, and need to find income before finding a permanent residence. Therefore, I currently have full availability. I usually cuddle (willing) animals, baby talk, and genuinely observe the needs of each pet to ensure that their needs, quirky or not, be addressed. I intend on being a comforting presence for the pets bestowed in my care.
About: I am a cat mom of three but also in love with dog. I have many experiences pet sitting my friends’ pets and love hanging out with them✨ My after work schedule is usually pretty flexible. I am open for home sitting (at my place) or drop in visit during weekdays and weekend. I have many friends that have cats so I am access to a lot of cat resources. Also I am working hybrid and have flexible afternoon schedule. I can give enough attention and care to your furry babies. Kittens are welcomed ! I have a cute apartment with multiple cat equipments. My apartment have corner windows so we get a lot of sunlight during the day time. Cats are always having fun hanging around and enjoying all the city and bird views.
“Remy was so happy after her walk with Sarai! I would definitely recommend Sarai to anyone who is looking for a dog walker who pays attention to details and truly cares about making your dog comfortable. From the moment Remy met Sarai during the meet and greet, she immediately was friendly with Sarai! Sarai took such great care of Remy during the walk and kept me updated with photos and messages about how the walk was going. She even made sure to wipe Remy’s paws after the walk to ensure my house stayed clean and free of germs. She event took the time to write a detailed recap of the walk which was so great! :) Thank you Sarai!”
