2. Yue Yue W.

“Wow! Relief and peace of mind is exactly what Sammy provided during our booking! Thank you SOO much for the top tier care and service during the drop-ins. I got clear and prompt communication from Sammy through out the whole stay. I have two big, kind of difficult, dogs and that was my initial worry to find someone that could be a good fit for them and even though Sammy is fairly new to Rover, her expertise and action tells me she’s a natural and a wonderful care taker! Thank you again SOO much Sammy, I know who to trust my pups to now!!”


3. Matt C.

“Matt is an excellent sitter. He took time to meet Luna and myself before starting. He arrived early & asked great questions. His consistency and excellent communication skills led me to give him more responsibility. He has taken great care of Luna and I feel extremely comfortable when she is in his care. Above all, he is funny, kind and a great communicator. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you, Matt!”

About: I have always been an animal lover, treating them with respect, love, and care 🐾❤️. I love spending time with dogs, playing, and giving them attention 🐶🎾. This natural connection with animals has allowed me to develop a great deal of patience and understanding of their needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, from small and medium-sized dogs to puppies and senior dogs, adjusting routines and care according to each one's needs 🐩🐕🦺. My goal is to provide personalized care, offering each pet the love and attention they need to feel safe and happy 😊 🐕💖 I currently have a part-time job, which gives me a lot of free time to provide all the love and care your pets need. I’ll be available for walks, playtime, and giving your pups lots of attention during the week from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I’m committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment while they’re with me. It will be a pleasure to pamper your furry friends ✨🐾 I don’t have pets of my own, but in my building, there is a secure area where I can walk and play with your dog. I make sure to provide them with the space and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. During their stay, I’ll care for them as if they were my own, ensuring they are always safe, active, and entertained. If necessary, I can use a crate for their rest or safety. My priority is to make sure they feel relaxed and well cared for at all times 🎾🐾🐕💕

Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!”

About: 💕PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING WITH ME 🐾 Home Setting & Location Your pets will be with my partner and I in a comfortable apartment in Daly City that includes a balcony for fresh air and an open space living concept. The apartment complex has a designated dog park, and there is another dog park just a block away, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and socialization. 🐾 Exercise & Walks I go with my dogs on walks twice a day, once in the morning and once at night before bedtime. Midday outings to the park (Gellert Park) or the beach (Fort Funston or Pacifica Esplanade Beach) are consistent parts of their routine to ensure they receive daily exercise and mental stimulation. On weekends, we go on hikes around the bay area whenever possible for extra activity. 🐾 Meal Time We typically feed twice a day, with their first meal after the morning walk and their second meal after the night walk before bedtime with a treat for dessert. I am fully adaptable to your pets diet and can ensure they get their medications if needed. This schedule ensures they remain well-fed and comfortable throughout the day and night. I typically leave water out for our dogs all day and change it at least 2 times a day, or as needed. 🐾 Playtime Play sessions will include interactive activities such as fetch, flirt pole, and catch. These activities help the dogs burn energy, stay engaged, and reinforce or have a positive behavior. 🐾 Bedtime Routine By bedtime, the dogs will have released their energy through walks and playtime. After their night meal, they will be relaxed and ready to settle down for the night, ensuring a structured and peaceful rest. Caring for pets is an essential part of my everyday schedule, ensuring they receive consistent attention and care. I feed, walk, and nurture my dogs, ensuring they get exercise, attention, and love every day. Whether in my home or a client’s home, pets receive structured care that includes regular exercise, feeding, and playtime to support their well-being. I prioritize attentive, reliable, and compassionate care, making sure each pet’s needs are met in a safe and nurturing environment.
