About: I provide long-term stays, quick visits for walks, medication and feeding times. I care for rabbits as well as cats, chickens, ducks, and fishes. i've taken care of many different animals since I was very young, as my family has always included them— we have always been with animal companions! Many lovely beings have all graced my life with their presence, each teaching me with their own unique personalities and preferences. I make it a point to listen and give attention and empathy to all those who've crossed my path, leaving us filled with more love and joy with every visit. I am a full-time animal caregiver, so hours may vary based on weekly bookings. let's take a look at our calendars and see when we can best provide care for our animal relatives! at my families home, we have a very large fenced in yard. We spend plenty of time outside when the weather is appropriate, running and playing, going on plenty of walks, and giving lots of praise to the Littles!

“Soyoung has been amazing at walking my dog, feed her a special homemade diet, and taking her out again. She’s been very thorough, follows my directions, and even offered to measure Rosie’s food portions to be accurate. I feel rest-assured with her knowing she’s in great hands! She also was patient when the leasing office was closed, and waited almost half an hour to retrieve keys to get into my apartment.”

“Yuyun has taken great care of Valentino for the last few weeks. She is great to communicate with and is very prompt in notifying any concerns with my pet.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities - from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a little extra attention. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication, basic training, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I take pride in adapting to their individual needs to keep them comfortable and happy! I live in a single family house (no stairs) with my two kids, 8 year old pup and husband. We have an enclosed backyard and live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. I love taking my dog on walks through Vasona Park along the LG creek trail, or on special outings to John McLaren and Fort Funston (because she loves a great off leash adventure). My dog snuggles with us in bed at night or at the foot of the bed in her cozy setup. We have plenty of room for your dog to be near us (in or out of a crate) or in the living room - whatever your furry companion needs and prefers! I’m currently on a corporate power pause and excited to help families with their fur babies! My kids are in school so I have a flexible day time schedule to ensure lots of play time, walks and snuggles! I’ll work with you to make sure your pet is set up for success. I have a medium sized female dog named Logan (40lb shepherd mix, 8 years old) and two young kids. Your fur baby will get lots of love, care and outside play time!

“Yijing has been a fantastic help with walking my dog. After each walk, she provides detailed notes, which I really appreciate. The whole process is smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life—both growing up and as a pet parent to two of my own. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely love animals. I’m comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I always prioritize their routines, comfort, and safety. I treat every pet like family and provide updates so owners feel at ease. I was recently let go from work, so I have plenty of free time while I job search. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. It’s a fulfilling way to stay engaged, help others, and do something I genuinely enjoy every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to ensure comfort and consistency—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication. I keep the space clean, give pets plenty of attention and affection, and send regular photo updates so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life but really started about 5 years ago. When I was young I would help neighbors, friends, and family with their pets and loved it. From daily walks and feeding to baths and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I am understanding that some pets may need extra patience or a lot of activity for a high-energy and playful pup. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I’m a graduate student with evening classes only, so I am free throughout the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I am able to take pets on long walks in various different areas depending on breed and energy levels for the pet to ensure they have a positive experience!

About: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday except Tuesdays. Wednesdays and Thursday I am unavailable from 12:30pm-4:00pm. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, I am very flexible and am sure we can work out a schedule that fits your pets’ needs! Please contact me for more information on overnight stays. I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.

About: I’m a graduate student at Stanford Medicine and a proud dog mom to a black Shiba Inu! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for years, with special experience handling Shiba Inus. Friends and neighbors often count on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every pup I meet. As most of my research and schoolwork are remote, I’m home nearly every day. I’m available for boarding all week and for walks or drop-ins after 2 p.m. Your pup will always have plenty of attention and company! I live in a house with a HUGE fenced yard and where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a friendly Shiba Inu who gets along well with others. If needed, I am more than happy to arrange greet and meet to make sure everything goes well and smoothly before boarding!

“Khan is a great communicator and dog friend. Our dog Jesse, who is pretty reserved especially with men, but not with Khan. For us, that says something. He kept us updated with photos and more info, which was nice. We will definitely ask Khan again for our next trip.”

About: Hello! I'm a passionate animal lover with a lifelong dedication to pet care and animal welfare. My journey with animals began at a young age, taking care of a variety of pets, including dogs, fish, birds, and gerbils. This early experience ignited my love for animals and led me to become deeply involved in more specialized animal care. Professionally, I led the customer service team at Whistle, the leading pet tracker company. This role allowed me to work closely with pet parents, addressing their needs and concerns, and ensuring their pets' safety and well-being. My experience at Whistle has given me a deep understanding of the importance of attentive and compassionate pet care. For several years, I've been a committed volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center. Here, I've received extensive training in emergency medical procedures for seals, sea lions, and otters. My responsibilities include administering medications, shots, and subcutaneous fluids, equipping me with the skills to handle a wide range of medical situations. In 2022, I sought a new challenge and began volunteering as a foster parent for the Humane Society. Over the course of a year, I had the privilege of fostering 12 cats, each with unique personalities, ages, and health conditions. This experience has made me adept at managing diverse and sometimes challenging pet care scenarios. I understand that your pets are cherished family members, and I am dedicated to providing the same level of care and love that you would. Whether it's daily walks, administering medication, or providing a safe and loving home while you're away, I am here to ensure your pet's well-being and happiness. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly fitting into my life with great importance and dedication. Over the past 10 years, I have worked in the technology sector, leading customer support teams at prominent companies such as Tesla, Whistle, Parrot, and Kittyhawk. Despite my demanding professional roles, I have always prioritized time for my passion for animals. Currently, I am leveraging my time for volunteering, especially after being impacted by the tech layoffs and undergoing a professional transition. This has allowed me to dedicate even more time to animal care. My days are structured around ensuring that pets under my care receive the attention, exercise, and medical needs they require. Whether it's providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications, I ensure that each pet's needs are met with the utmost care and compassion. Volunteering has always been a significant part of my routine. My involvement with the Marine Mammal Center and fostering cats for the Humane Society has enriched my life and provided me with extensive hands-on experience in animal care. I dedicate several hours each week to these activities, maintaining a structured and consistent schedule to ensure I am always available for the animals that need me. Incorporating pet care into my routine is not just a responsibility but a passion that brings balance and fulfillment to my life. It allows me to stay active, engaged, and connected to the things I love most—caring for and improving the lives of animals. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients' homes, is a responsibility I approach with the utmost dedication, compassion, and attention to detail. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, secure, and happy while under my care, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each animal. When caring for pets in their own homes, I strive to maintain their usual routines and environment, which helps minimize stress and anxiety. I take the time to understand each pet's specific needs, habits, and preferences. Whether it's daily visits, dog walking, feeding, or administering medications, I follow detailed instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for the pets. I provide companionship and attention, making sure each pet receives plenty of love and interaction. For dogs, this might include walks, play sessions, and basic training reinforcement. For cats, it could mean engaging them with toys, grooming, and providing quiet lap time. I am vigilant about the safety and security of the home, ensuring doors and gates are properly closed and maintaining a clean and tidy environment. Regardless of the service provided, my priority is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere where pets feel cherished and cared for. I am committed to building trust and a positive relationship with each pet, understanding that they are more than just animals—they are beloved members of the family. My experience and passion for animal care guide everything I do, ensuring that every pet receives the highest standard of care and attention.

About: I’ve worked with cats and dogs, especially rescue dogs, of all sizes for 5 years now. As someone who at one point wanted to become a vet, I have plenty of experience caring for sick pets. I help socialize dogs at a local rescue so I also have experience walking dogs and teaching them leash skills as well as other basic manners if necessary. I am comfortable with dogs of any size or age and I promise to love and care for your pet as if they were my own. I never go out without my phone so you can reach me at any moment while I care for your pet. I also have a driver’s license and my own car. I love going on hikes, and I’d be more than happy to take your dog on hikes if that’s something you’d be interested in.

“Gary has been an incredible find as my dog walker! From the moment he met Mylo, it was evident he genuinely cares for animals. Mylo comes back from his walks with Gary positively radiant, clearly having enjoyed his time. I greatly appreciate Gary's willingness to let Mylo play in the park during their walks or spend a little extra time playing after the walks. Thanks a lot.”
