Dog Walking San Mateo Park

“Claudia has been great with our dogs! She is really patient especially with our younger dog who can be skittish with strangers. She really takes the time to understand instructions and gives regular updates and sends pictures and videos!”

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and an 11-month-old mini poodle mix, Charlie Sheen. We go on walks 2–3 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have access to daily cleaned and fresh bowls of water. My car can take me anywhere to care for your pup!

“Ruby is absolutely amazing! She is extremely reliable, caring, and communicative. She always makes sure that Lily is safe and makes sure to communicate with me along the way. I highly recommend Ruby! Thank you for everything you do Ruby!”

About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with a dog and a duck, and have continuously lived in homes with cats and dogs through college and graduate school, so I’m very comfortable with their routines and behavior. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also have three tortoises of my own, including one I’ve had for nearly 23 years, which has made me especially attentive to routines, environment, and long-term care. I am currently volunteering at the Kitten Nursery with the Peninsula Humane Society, where I help taking care of kittens too young for adoption. I have a very flexible schedule through freelance consulting work, which allows me to be available for pet care most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. The only consistent commitment I have is volunteering on Monday afternoons at the Peninsula Humane Society, but outside of that, I’m highly flexible and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, exercise, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with shy or more independent pets, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home clean and organized, and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties. I have been volunteering with local animals shelters for the past 10+ years; mainly dogs, cats, and small animals. I usually opt to support pet care (feeding, kennel cleaning, walks) and recently I have been supporting surgeries (spays, neuter, etc). From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindess are the pillars to good interactions with animals. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa I’m currently between jobs (biotech in the bay) and am happy to add some structure to my days with pet care. I’m available weekdays for visits, walks, and care. Not able to do boarding or home sits at this time. I will respect your space as if it was my own; no shoes in the house, leave things cleaner than you found it, pet-safety conscientious (ex food risks). When visiting your pets they’ll have my undivided attention and you have my promise to thoroughly review any instructions; big or small.

About: My home is your pet’s home 🫶🏻 Safe and trusted environment 💛 I have been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. As a dedicated dog and cat owner myself, I understand that your pet is family. I am a very active person who loves long walks, so I can ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I’m also highly organized and comfortable following specific feeding or medication schedules to keep your pup's routine consistent. I currently work in healthcare administration during the week, which means my weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care! I am available for full-time boarding and house sitting from Friday evening through Sunday night. Because I am a student and work a consistent schedule, I am very reliable and punctual with my check-ins and walk times. Your pup will have my full attention during their stay! I live in a pet-friendly environment in San Mateo where your dog's safety is my top priority. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends, making my home a great 'social' spot for your pup. I am very comfortable with 'Meet & Greets' to ensure everyone gets along. I maintain a clean, safe space and am happy to accommodate crate training or any specific home boundaries you have in place.

About: I believe that I have a great balance in calm energy plus fun moments to let your pet have a wonderful day, no bored but also not anxious. I have flexible agenda once for now I’m Uber and pet sitter: I’m available to spend full weekends or just one or few hours for you and your pet. I’m great to make notes and do what is the client preference. I like to follow the recommendations. Very responsible and always on time. I’m also paying attention on the cleaning, health signs, energy, gut. I’m from health care and my best friend is vetenerian so we talk a lot about pet health.

“I was in Tahoe and couldn't return home, so I urgently needed someone to walk my dog. Yao helped quickly despite my absence. Thank you very much for walking Ruby twice, in the morning and evening, on short notice.”

About: As a dedicated dog owner, I bring a unique blend of experience and passion to caring for your furry family member. I rescued and adopted my own dog from the streets, transforming him from an aggressive and anxious to a well-trained, dog-park-friendly companion. I understand the patience and care every dog needs, no matter their personality. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, an adventurous hike, or playful social time, I’m here to ensure your pup feels loved, safe, and happy—just like my own! I’m currently working part-time and remotely so I will be able to tend to your pup’s needs. This would be great for those with a little more anxiety when left alone. There is also a crate for dogs that prefer a den environment! I live in an apartment where dog feeding will be in the kitchen or separated in rooms if necessary. Dog walking will be done in surrounding neighborhoods for approximately 30-45 minutes per walk, on leash - or local dog parks. I have my own vehicle to commute to client’s home if required.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I currently have a sweet kitty named Luna, who is very loved and very much a part of my family. I also had a pug named Khloe, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She was truly my baby, and I loved her like she was my own child. I miss her everyday, and losing her left a big space in my heart. Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and happiness, and I feel lucky whenever I get the opportunity to love and care for someone else's furry family member! I currently have a lot of free time and flexibility, so I'm able to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need a helping hand! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends as well. I'm happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I'm available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Having a flexible schedule means to can give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'm happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I vow to always be respectful of your home and will follow your instructions and your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I have reliable transportation and my own car, so I'm able to easily travel to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will treat your home and your fur babies with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I will also always keep you in the loop while I'm caring for your pet and will send you regular updates and pictures, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve trained my dog myself since he was 3 months old and I love sharing my ideas on how to train my friends’ puppies too. Additionally, my brother and sister-in-law are working away from home so they rely on me taking care of their 8 year old Shih Tzu. I currently work part-time and have long week breaks and I am also a student. So I have a lot of broken free time throughout the day or month. We have a fenced backyard with tall no opening gates. Staircase are fenced and camera is available in multiple angle of the house to watch the dogs.

About: I have taken care of cats of all sizes from 1 day old kittens to 2-3 years old cats (both neutered, spayed or unneutered, unspayed). I am familiar with their nature. I also walk my friend’s dogs on a regular basis. I am currently working full time. However my evenings after 5 are free. My weekends are most of the time free which means I am open for house sitter as well I have taken care of dogs by taking them for a walk or play fetching with them. For cats, I usually drop by to check if the feeder is working, clean the water fountain or bowl and refill with fresh water, clean their litter box, play with them, etc.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, I used to train my dogs tricks such as hand shaking and sitting down etc. Im currently working part-time, flexible availability. Very detail oriented, love animals of all kinds. Have always lived with pets and knows perfectly how to take care of your kids!! At my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space with lots of attention, play, and comfort. In clients’ homes, I stick to their routine feeding, cleaning, and giving love and care to keep pets happy and relaxed.

About: Our furry family! With all the love and attention I have to give to my own animals, your pooch can expect the same. Plus they will have big brother Alvin (my 12 yo lab) to play with and to show them the ropes. I live in a duplex in the Sherman Oaks area of San Jose (close to willow glen). I have a small fenced in yard. There is a dog friendly field across the street that I use more for exercise. About me: I am 37 years old and I have been around all types of dogs my entire life. I have 6 years professional experience caring for these lovable animals, and am quite confident I can give your pooch a fun filled customized experience no matter how mellow or rambunctious. If you have a new pup and would like him/her to learn some cool new tricks, I can help out with that! Or if you have an older one who never got around to learning some key training, I'm there for you. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? Medium or small, playful or mellow, I can't wait to meet yours! My schedule is very open and I'm sure I can accommodate your needs. I look forward to speaking with you! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover ever since I can remember. My first childhood dog, Pokey the german shepherd, was inherited from my grandparents once they were too old to take care of her. Pokey was an old girl, and I was pretty young when she passed, but I can still remember so many great stories about her. My favorite story by far, was one day my grandfather was taking Pokey for a walk around the neighborhood and they ran into some men who didn’t have the greatest intentions. Instead of staying and protecting my grandfather, Pokey ran all the way home sat outside the door and barked until someone followed her back. My grandfather was ok so it turned out to be a funny family story we still share to this day. She was an extremely smart and loyal dog. Our second family dog, Storm, half husky and half elks hound, was the light of my whole families life. He came to us at 9 months as a birthday present for my Mother, and was a sweet fluffy ball of energy. He went everywhere with us, especially in the snow. Something about playing in it made him crazy happy. Must've been the husky side in him! Throughout the years, I've had many amazing dogs, of all different types. I've had a rat terrier named Daisy, a mini Yorkshire terrier named Gizmo, a great big german shepherd named Kantu, whom I rescued from the kennel that I had been working at at the time. Lastly, Alvin, my black lab whom I've had since he was just 8 weeks old. He's now 12 and truly my best bud. At one point I had Kantu, Gizmo and Alvin all living under one roof together. There was never a dull moment in my house and I loved it. That's when I realized I wanted to integrate my passion for animals into a career that I would love waking up for every day. It's a dream come true to be around these lovable pups all day and get paid for it. So, I started this journey working at a boarding kennel, which really opened up my eyes to actual pack behaviors. Being exposed to such a diverse group of dogs, it made me appreciate all types of breeds and temperaments. There was this one particular dog, named Kylie, who had just had her 2 back legs amputated, and was trying to adjust to walking in a wheel chair. It was heart wrenching at first seeing all of her failed attempts at walking with it, but she didn't give up and neither did I. Eventually she got the hang of it, and I was lucky enough to get to witness those first beautiful steps. It was amazing to be able to see the joy it brought her to be able to interact with the other dogs again, and be free to run around in her own new way. About my yard I have a small fenced in yard that is good for potty breaks and wrestling. Not much room for running, however there is a good sized dog friendly field across the street that I use more for exercise. I have recently hopped back on Rover after a 2 year hiatus. I had been recruited for a small Bay Area dog training company. Learning and training from a couple of the best I've ever seen took up most of my time. I’m ready to jump back in to Rover and give your dog the best boarding experience I can possibly give, and now with a training background I feel I have more to offer. My experience administering medication I'm well versed at administering medications. I know some dogs can be finicky, wiggly worms.( I like to think of dogs as forever 2 year olds) I'm comfortable with giving injections, ear cleanings and drops, eye drops, pills, brushing teeth, oral injections, caring for sutures....anything else just ask.

About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.

About: I have taken care of and been around many dogs since childhood. Growing up, my first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier. We got him in 2009 and he lived a happy active life until 2021. In 2022, I adopted an Australian Cattle/Great Dane mix. I also have experience caring for and looking after Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Maltese, Pitbulls, and Dachshunds. My schedule is highly flexible! I am able to switch my schedule to my client's needs to make sure their pet is taken care of. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. My dog is super friendly and loves having doggy friends around. I am able to go on long walks and spend time doing enriching activities.

About: Taking care of dogs started for me with my wonderful and energetic Airedale in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I also take pride in leaving your house as nice as when arrived. For long stays or short, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time nearby and I am not planning holiday travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfortable entrusting me with either or both.

About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.

“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”
