My dog Ozzy is a senior dog that requires specific care and Shao made sure to accommodate perfectly! Ozzy gets little panic attacks when alone for too long sometimes and at times requires medication. She used her intuition and gave him his anxiety pill because she felt that he had asthma like symptoms and was restless. When I came home he was and snoring away peacefully. She fed, walked, and made sure to even put his shoes on for the rain even though it’s a bit tricky to figure out how to put them on! I look forward to having her take care of Ozzy again in the future, def recommend if you have a senior dog or any dog for that matter! 10/10.

Best dog walker ever!!!! You would be a fool to let anyone else walk your dog, she is so sweet and kind, Frankie just loves her. Responsible, on time, high integrity, a pleasure meeting her, and happy she was able to squeeze in Frankie last minute with huge smile, kind words, and plenty of pictures, she went above and beyond taking such good care of his special needs for pure love!!!

About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails

I met Marisela today and liked her immediately. She was very attentive to Kandi and even checked her bottom to remove weeds she picked up on her tail during the walk. I will definitely be using Marisela again. I like being able to have the same person walk her so she gets used to her. Thanks Marisela.

About: Hi friend, I'm Sophia, and my partner and I would love to walk and care for your dog! You can trust that your furry friend will be in compassionate and experienced hands with me. I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was little, and I take pride in the trust and love that I've built with each animal. My experience spans walking, daycare, boarding, and more for both family and friends' dogs. I even fostered a sweet dog with anxiety for a year, ensuring they felt safe and loved. I've raised my dogs from young puppies through their senior years, and those who have crossed the bridge lived well into their late senior years, thanks to dedicated care. I have extensive experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, from house training energetic puppies to providing special care for incontinent seniors (ranging from 5 lbs to 125 lbs). Administering medications is also within my scope of care, ensuring your dog's health needs are met reliably. My friendly dog, a doodle, loves making new doggy friends and having playdates. I maintain a clean home with a fenced backyard because the well-being and safety of every dog I care for are my top priorities. You can trust me to provide a nurturing and secure environment for your beloved pet, always treating them with the utmost love and respect. I'm a full-time, pet-loving sitter you can trust completely. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and will have plenty of time to play with and nurture your pups. I am available 24/7 for boarding, daycare, and walking, ensuring your dog receives the attention and love they deserve at all times. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe, caring hands with me. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure environment for your furry pup. My friendly Golden Doodle will be a great companion, ensuring your dog has company and fun. You can trust me to take care of your pup 24/7, offering attentive and loving care whenever it's needed.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and understand the love, attention, and care they deserve as members of the family. In addition to my personal experience, I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteered at Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, where I helped care for animals and gained additional experience working with pets in a professional setting. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey, who is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have also successfully boarded dogs in my home with Whiskey and always prioritize safe introductions and a comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to provide your pet with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dog, so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends and can provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing at home, playing, or getting out for adventure, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I love spending time outdoors and can take dogs on walks, hikes, and other fun activities to help them stay active and engaged. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey who loves meeting other dogs. If your pup enjoys canine companionship, Whiskey is a great playmate and helps create a welcoming, social environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while in my care. I live in a townhouse community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and several nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment. Dogs in my care receive regular outdoor time, walks, and attention based on their individual energy levels and needs. My home provides a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.

I’m so glad I found Stephanie! Our dog Chloe is anxious and reactive to people, and Stephanie knows exactly how to be with her - calmly approaching Chloe and letting her acclimate at her own pace. Chloe was so calm and well taken care of at Stephanie’s. Stephanie is my go-to for Chloe when we need to go on a trip, and I would highly recommend her!

Gracy has been amazing. She started off doing weekly walks with our dog, Skye, and our son's dog, Loki. Skye is very independent so I wasn't sure how Gracy was going to handle it, but Gracy ended up being the perfect person for Skye! My wife and I went on a 6 day cruise and needed someone to take Skye out while our son was at work. Gracy eagerly agreed. Our grandkids also stopped by several times during our trip and told us that Skye was sad and didn't want to come out of her kennel. But when I saw the pictures that Gracy sent us while taking Skye on walks everyday, I knew that our girl was in good hands. Thank you so much Gracy, you are one of Skye's favorite people.
