Dog Walking University South

About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.

“James was great! He was very communicative and took great care of my dog. He was always on time and provided detailed updates after the walks. Super flexible for my changing schedule, would highly recommend!”

“Cameron took great care of Mabel and Milton! Cameron is really easy to work with - he came on time and kept us updated at all times. We will definitely have him care for our dogs in the future and we recommend him to others!”

“Cordigen has been wonderful at providing weekly visits for our puppy, Sammy, and our 8 year old dog, June. I can tell from the photos she sends that they have a great time with her on their 3x/week visits and really appreciate all the care she shows for them. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Dawn and I have been a pet parent for over 25 years to rabbits, guinea pigs and 4 dogs with 2 of them of senior age. All 4 dogs were raised since they were puppies and they are currently based in my hometown with my parents when I moved here. My intuition and experience allow me to provide your pet with the best care and most comfortable environment away from home, so rest assured that they are in good hands. Let’s chat! I’m mostly available during weekdays from 7am to 12 midnight and certain weekends. Date and timings can be further discussed if you require my services. I have a balcony at home and have space available for your pet to roam around freely if needed. Happy to chat more to see what else you’ll require

“Natasha is great! She took the time to really understand my dog’s health issues and made sure she knew what to do in the event of a seizure. He seems happy and relaxed with her right away. All smiles in the pictures I got from his report card. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Anastasii is fabulous with our dogs! She is very punctual and reliable. We trust her very much to care for our two dogs and she always goes above and beyond.”

About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.

About: We’re an engaged couple looking for more time with pets! We’d love to give your pet extra care, companionship, and affection while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We only care for one pet (or one family) at a time so your pet can get plenty of attention with us. As a couple, your pet gets double the care and companionship at no extra cost! We especially enjoy boarding pets in our home. We don’t have pets or children of our own. Our private fenced backyard allows for plenty of space to play. We go on 1–2 walks a day and would love to have your pet join us! We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them a home-away-from-home! 🐾🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, so we decided to do Rover! We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be. We also have a private fenced backyard.

“My malinois warmed up to Meg immediately. I wouldn’t trust just anyone with my dog since he’s 95 pounds and can be prone to hypervigilance, but Meg is calm, knowledgeable, and intuitive with animals. I feel totally comfortable with her.”

“Gadget, our Formosan Mountain Dog, has loved Danielle for the past year, walking 3 times per week and house/dog sitting for several vacations. She's the best! Danielle is responsible, prompt, pleasant, and very sensitive to our rather difficult dog. She respects Gadget's needs with patience and understanding. Danielle consistently chronicles the activities and takes great pictures during every walk. She has even taught Gadget new tricks. We highly, highly recommend Danielle!”

About: I have trained puppies with tremendous success over the last 45 years for the specific purpose and task required in accordance with the particular breed. They are an interictal part of my daily existence. I thoroughly enjoy their devotion and accompaniment. Dogs love to be around me. I love them. When I do home care for dogs I reassure them that all is the same in their environment. They feel save and secure. They relax.

About: Hi all! I'm a passionate animal lover based in San Francisco but living in Menlo Park for the time being. When I’m not volunteering at SFSPCA or Pets in Need in RWC you’ll likely find me exploring the city on foot and soaking up the charm of each neighborhood. I’m notorious for stopping to say hello to every dog I pass—it’s impossible to resist their wagging tails and sweet faces! Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I can’t wait to give your furry friend all the love and attention they deserve My current schedule is very flexible and allows me to take care of your pet anytime/day during the week. Please reach out to discuss more! I care for pets in my clients' homes by following their routines closely, providing plenty of love and attention, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I prioritize their well-being, keep the home tidy, and communicate regularly with updates.

About: I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life and got my very first puppy when I was 15. More recently, I brought home a French Bulldog, and it’s been such a joy watching him grow from a tiny puppy into the sweet, fun 1-year-old he is now! Having pets has always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them I work from home so I am usually pretty available! I do have a lot of virtual calls so I cannot usually do last minute walks but can plan around my day! I am completely free after 3:30 PM everyday. I have a French bulldog who loves to play and spends a lot of his time cuddled up with us. We also have a huge patio that is fenced in and a dog area to let them roam around and play.

“Trina is dependable and very sweet to our dog who isn’t the easiest to take on walks due to her reactiveness around other dogs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Had a cat and 4 dogs in the past. Had 3 dogs and a cat in the past. Can talk to different animals spiritually and now also can talk to them through AI technology. Your fur baby will go and have fun with me since I love walking and going to parks, and I love taking them to have a little adventure by the green.

About: My son Lee (he was 9 years old at that time) and I trained at the SPCA San Francisco and we volunteer and fostered in our home an injured abandoned dog “Paco”, who had a hip surgery. It was a rewarding experience for both of us, it was an amazing feeling being able to care for Paco & a successful story, Paco was adopted by my brother. I continue to care for dogs and cats, dog sat, dog walker for friends and family. I have a passion for dogs, cats, horses. They are extraordinary beings all different all beautiful all special with unique characters!! They bring happiness to my life they bring the best in me I LOVE CARING FOR THEM THEY ARE LIKE ANGELS!!❤️

About: I am taking a break from work and have the time to house sit and check in as well as board. I have done Rover for a few years now and have worked at dog boarding facilities. I am able to walk your fur babies in the morning and in the evening. I have experience with medication and injections for whom are needed. I have starting training experience and hope to learn more while watching my fur child Ruffles grow and enjoy life. It is true that Each pet has his/her own characteristics, so I try to find way to connect and gain there trust in anyway I can. I understand all pets have different characteristics and I will do everything possible to get to know your pet. I understood pets are a huge part of our familyand that is how they will be treated with love, understanding and compassion. Pets are truly men's best friend, and one that is always there to make our life so much exciting and fun. I can say at the moment I am able to fit any pet into mine and my own pet’s routine! Ruffles gets along with children , any size 🐶 dog and adults! I am trying to board only one pet at a time with my own pet at home just to be in the safer side. However, once your pet is at my home, he or she becomes part of the family instantly. They are allowed on top of furniture. My Ruffles is a non-caged dog but I do own a cage.
