Anne was amazing with Ocean! She kept us up to date and sent over lots of pics. We are new puppy parents so we were super nervous about leaving her behind for the first time but Anne put our minds at ease. She was awesome!

Matt was AMAZING with our pit/boxer mix, Frank. He was prompt and timely every day and posted lots of photos to help ease my “pet withdrawals” I will definitely use Matt on a regular basis and will recommend him to all of my dog parents. 10 out of 10 fantastic!!!

About: I have experience watching both cats and dogs for over 10 years, some being my own and mostly others! I have a disabled dog currently who I care for, giving me experience with medications and specialized care. I also have had two cats with health issues so I am well versed in specialized care for them as well. I look forward to meeting your babies! I am a student currently with a fairly flexible schedule. I will have a completely open schedule starting the week after Thanksgiving to Christmas as well! I am very careful with any animal I care for. I ensure we have a meet and greet prior to make sure I am completely comfortable in safely caring for your baby❤️

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, so much so that I made a career out of it working at the zoo! I’ve dog and cat sat for multiple people, I have extensive animal care experience, and I’ve worked at humane societies throughout high school and college! I am currently a mammal care specialist at the Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and I have a cat of my own. I’ve always grown up with pets and love to care for all animals. I have a cat of my own that I take care of. I’m available on weeknights and weekends, even just for walks so pets don’t stay lonely for too long! My typical work schedule 7AM-5:30PM Thurs-Sat and 7AM-1PM on Sun/Mon and can care for pets around these times! I always make sure to spend quality time with the pets I care for! As an animal owner, I treat animals the way I’d treat my own, and I make sure to go above and beyond. I keep a very tidy house and will do the same for any house I care for!

About: Hi, I'm Katherine, but you can call me Kee! I've been my neighbors' go-to sitter for the last 2 years, and have care for young and old, big and small. Before that I cared for my own dogs for 15 years before! I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs to birds to cats. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique quirks and traits! I work a part time job on the weekends only so I’ll have the entire week for availability! Just about any time works and I’m very open. My services will of course vary depending on your specifications for how you would like your animal to be taken care of, but my utmost concern would be making sure their needs are met.

About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.

About: I have taken care of animals for friends and family over the years! I also have 3 fur babies of my own that I’ve rescued. I’m currently in the navy but I’m on shore duty so I have time in the mornings and evenings to take care of pets for others. I am used to different methods of taking care of animals so I can do anything that the owner requires for their fur babies. Such as crating etc

About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and cared for animals for many years. I love animals especially dogs. I have one dog of my own named Lilo. I recently moved to the area and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I am a teacher so I can provide pet care evenings/weekends/ school breaks. I am happy to do overnights as well if I can bring my dog. I can care for dogs overnight if I can bring my dog. She is a small wire silk hair dachshund & gets along with other dogs.

About: I treat each pet as my own and will do whatever I can to make their stay comfortable and relaxing. We have a beautiful half acre fenced in yard perfect for your dog to run and play. I'm very caring for dogs and cats and have been taking care of animals for 10 years. I enjoy taking dogs out for walks and giving them exercise and making a bed for them on the couch or in our bed. I always joke that my children have four paws and I will treat your pets as if they are my own. With some pets being very anxious when their owners are not around, I make it my mission for the pet to feel relaxed and loved. If your pet prefers to have their own space we can accommodate for that as well! I've taken care of over 50 dogs throughout my life and can't wait to meet yours! I work from home so your fur baby will have someone with them at all times. Your baby is able to sleep the day away or help me run some meetings 😂 We have fenced in yard perfect for dogs to run and play. I have a kiddie pool as well for those hot summer days! If your pet doesn’t get a long well with cats, no worries. The cats have their own space in the basement or in a secluded room for the duration of the stay.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. I have always been passionate about caring for animals and getting to know the creatures I encounter. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule. I can pop over to take the dogs out for a walk or be available for feeding or whatever your pet may need. My pets are my life and I do anything I can to make their lives as wonderful as it can be. I would love to help other pets live their best lives.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in San Mateo.
