About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.
About: I’m a dog lover who’s all about giving your pup lots of love, play, and care while you’re away. I live in an apartment building right near tons of green spaces and parks, so there’s always a great spot nearby for walks or playtime. I’ve got experience training puppies and I’m great with senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Every dog gets plenty of attention, belly rubs, and walks tailored to their energy and personality. I’m currently taking some time off, so I have plenty of free time every day to give your pup all the attention and playtime they need. Whether it’s long walks, fun games at the park, or just cuddling around the apartment, I’m here to keep your furry friend happy and active throughout the day. Your dog won’t feel lonely or bored when they’re with me and my rescue pup Zoë! I provide loving, personalized care whether your pet stays with me or I visit them at home. In my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime and walks around nearby parks. For in-home visits, I stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy, including feeding, potty breaks,
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life and they are my favorite animals. My neighbors and friends trust me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’m currently working a very flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to hangout and take care of my dog and other dogs. I am also very athletic and am always going on runs with my dog. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard and a 6 year old playful lab to keep your pup company. The bay trail is right behind my house so taking the dogs on walks is super safe!
About: I taught my two Labradors how to walk with assistance from a trainer. I am confident that I can walk your dog safely. If the dog is off-leash trained, I can also take them to the dog park and let them run or throw a ball. Weekdays from 9am to 2pm. Weekday evenings from 6pm onwards. Weekend mornings are also available. I can sign a contract for a fixed time every week. I would love to allow dogs to freely enjoy the living room of my house. They are allowed on couches as well. I also have a gated front yard which can be used for the toilet or sunbathing. I can provide overnight care at my home only if I have built a trusting relationship with your dog as a dog walker.
“Vivian was great! She responds VERY quickly and was open to walking Lou on a weekend while I had to work which was awesome because it can be really tough finding someone on weekends. I enjoyed reading her walk adventures with Lou! It was very detailed and we have plenty of pics. Thanks so much!”
“Katherine was terrific with our dog! She responded to our urgent request quickly (we had a funeral to attend and our dog walker set up didn't work out) and she did a lovely job with him. We got a report card and pics and the overall communication with Katherine was great. Highly recommend!!”
“Nicole is wonderful! She is reliable and super sweet and gentle with my doggy. My dog is always excited to see Nicole and she is so much happier and relaxed on the days Nicole comes to walk her!”
About: I have volunteered in dog shelters + rescues for 4 years and worked in a dog clinic for a couple years under a veterinarian (Dog Adoption and Welfare Group and Carl Zaboly DVM in Santa Barbara, CA), so I am familiar with the behaviors of our bestest friends. I live in an apartment next to Leo J Ryan park and walking distance from Foster City dog park, where my small dog Mocha loves to play with other dogs. For boarding, if your dog is prone to anxiety around people and other dogs, I request that a short meet and greet be done prior. This is to ensure that your dog and I will be a good fit and to familiarize your dog with my presence. I work from home majority of the week, so walks will be given three times a day. If the weather permits, we will also go on hikes! As a dog parent myself, I understand the worry other dog parents have leaving their precious one in another’s care. Therefore, photos and updates will be sent multiple times a day unless otherwise instructed.
“Margot is amazing, she is a great communicator and does great with my dogs. Always on time, really cares to make sure they get a great walk in and get their food, and let’s me know if anything is amiss! Really appreciate her :)”
About: I have had dogs since I was born and love going on walks with them, feeding them, and playing with them. I have three rescue dogs right now! I have 3 dogs at home so daily I will walk and feed them as well as hangout with them. I am always taking care of them throughout the day. I care for pets in my home and also other peoples homes by making sure they always have water and give them food when it’s time. I will always make sure they are able to go to the bathroom aswell.
“Amanda is the BEST!!! She takes such amazing care of our dog and always sends great photos and updates. Our dog is a little shy, but Amanda has always been patient and caring and now our dog absolutely loves seeing her. Can’t say enough positive things about Amanda!”

Xianzhou M.
“I am writing with great enthusiasm to recommend my husband, Xianzhou, as a trusted caregiver for your beloved pet. As a devoted animal lover and experienced pet sitter, Xianzhou possesses a rare ability to earn the trust of furry companions almost instantly. He has provided customized care for a wide range of families, always with heart, responsibility, and attention to detail. Xianzhou has a deep sense of empathy toward animals. He patiently observes each pet’s personality and habits—whether it’s a shy cat that prefers quiet interaction or an energetic dog eager for adventurous walks, he always finds a way to make them feel safe and comfortable. Our adopted stray dog, Lucky, who once refused to go outside, now wags his tail with joy the moment he hears Xianzhou’s footsteps—an example of the trust he builds so naturally. Xianzhou understands that pets are cherished family members. After each visit, he shares updates with photos, notes on eating and bathroom routines, and even remembers each pet’s favorite scratching or petting spots. His thoroughness has earned him the trust of many long-term clients, especially when caring for elderly pets or those recovering from surgery who require extra attention. Beyond basic feeding and walking, Xianzhou offers thoughtful, customized care: He designs puzzle games and hiking routes for high-energy dogs. He prepares healthy, pet-friendly snacks for picky eaters. He uses his medical background to monitor pets’ well-being and records calming voice messages for those with separation anxiety. He keeps open communication with pet parents for full transparency. As someone who knows him best, I’ve seen countless moments where he went above and beyond—rushing a client’s pet to emergency care late at night or carefully jotting down each pet’s birthday in his notebook. If you are looking for a caregiver who follows best practices in animal care while treating your pet like family, Xianzhou is undoubtedly the ideal choice.”
Devina W.
“Devina is great with dogs. She took care of mine when I needed it most and followed all my instructions. Oscar also had meds that needed to be followed and she helped me with that thoroughly as well. She told me she had a few dogs of her own in the past that needed extra care, and I trust her with mine.”
Annika A.
“We have had several great experiences with Annika, very responsible, very good with several dogs, labs and doodles. We will use again for sure and highly recommend for walks, baths, and boarding!”

Yoko M.
“Yoko has been an incredibly caring dog owner of large and small dogs. Most recently, she owned 2 Labrador Retrievers at the same time. She owned a Shih Tzu before that. She loves dogs and loves showering them with love. Previously, she was making homemade dog food for them, and walked dogs for 1+ hours, twice a day.”

“Shirley is a very responsible and capable dog caregiver. She was sure to listen and write down all the specific tasks and needs each of my 4 dogs required when I left them with her when I went on vacation. Shirley herself was attentive and respectful, and I would happily leave my dogs in her care when I am out of town again. Would highly recommend to my friends and family.”
