About: With me you’ll get: Fast response times, great communication, high professionalism, undivided time with your dog. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and properly fed! Currently on sabbatical from work and looking to fill my time meeting the adorable pets of the Bay Area. Book me for multiple days or just a last-minute check in. I have a car and am able to come wherever you live. Happy to answer any and all questions!! Having owned both young and senior pets, I am very comfortable with handling mobility issues, specific meal/medication instructions, and making sure their environment is safe and stimulating.

About: Hi! I’m Tram, and I’ve been loving and caring for dogs for nearly 3 decades. With 29 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and quirks—from playful puppies to wise seniors. Animals aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a cozy cuddle session, or specialized care, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love creating a safe, happy space for animals to thrive. Whether you’re traveling or just need a helping hand, I’ll treat your furry companion like one of my own—with lots of love, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag together! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive to your pet throughout the day. My typical routine includes a morning walk or play session, regular potty breaks, and lots of cuddle or enrichment time in between. I take breaks often, so your dog will never be alone for long. I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra walks, medication, or just companionship. Your pet will have a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away! Your dog will be cared for like family in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a gated backyard with plenty of space for them to roam, play, and soak up the sunshine. If your pup is crate-trained or you prefer they have a crate for rest time, I can absolutely accommodate that. I also live near McLaren Park, which means your dog will enjoy scenic walks, fresh air, and lots of opportunities to sniff and explore! Whether your pup needs quiet companionship or high-energy play, I tailor the day to their personality and needs. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

“It was my first time using the Rover app and I was nervous choosing a new cat sitter for my babies while I was away on vacation. Kayla was very kind and did a meet & greet with the kitties before accepting the job. I felt very comfortable and at ease with her attention to detail when giving instructions on their food and daily routine. She went above and beyond to make sure the cats felt comfortable and gave them some love while I was away. They both loved her and she sent me photos of each day to make sure they were okay. She takes care of your pets as if they are her own. Thanks Kayla for everything you did for Cheshire & Panther! I’m so happy I met Kayla through Rover and plan to book with her in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of many sizes. I love going on walks, being active, and also a huge snuggle buddy! My priority is to make sure the pups are left with a smile! I’m currently a full time college student majoring in radiology and I would love to make more time for myself by surrounding myself with loving animals. I have a cat, I also let her go outside on her own adventures, but I also do not let her go outside at night due to wildlife. We have many windows where she loves perching at and watching birds fly by.

About: I truly care for every dog like they’re my own. I have several hands-on experiences walking dogs for friends and neighbors, and I’ve loved every moment of it. I’m attentive to each pup’s needs—whether it’s making sure they get the right amount of exercise, giving them extra cuddles, or being patient with shy or energetic personalities. I’m also comfortable with both young, playful pups and gentle senior dogs, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently a college student right now, i will have some time to play with your pups! I'm available for walking your dog everyday in summer. I ensure that your pet is always safe by using secure leashes and harnesses during walks, avoiding hazardous areas, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and surroundings.

About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Currently, I have a flexible summer schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. At the end of August, I’ll return to full-time work as a paraprofessional, but I’ll still be available during the evenings and weekends. I’m committed to working with your schedule to ensure your pet gets consistent, loving care. Although I don’t have much experience yet, I make up for it with a genuine love for animals, a careful approach, and a strong willingness to learn. I follow all instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide gentle care, attention, and respect for your pet’s routine and your space.

“Lydia is so amazing - she's been looking after my guineas and rabbits for a while. She's so communicative and clearly loves animals, and my pets adore her - a very great compliment from my shy pets! I can't recommend having her care for your pets enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs (Schnauzer, Labrador, 3x Jack Russell, 2x Border Collie, 2x Irish Setter) since I have a memory. Today, I take care of my three year old Vizsla and on occasions my friend’s dogs: German Shorthaired Pointer and a Mexican Hairless Dog (both every active and energetic breeds). For daycare and bording your dog will enjoy 4-8 hours of time outside of the house EVERY DAY: walks, dog park visits, hikes, beach day, etc. I’m currently in a break from the corporate life and spend a ton of time walking through Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, Ocean and Baker beach. For overnight bording I’d meet your furry friend in advance. At home I have a fenced yard. For walks we go to the beach, meadows and dog parks.

About: I’ve been a professional dog groomer for over 7 years, and before that I spent 2.5 years working at an animal shelter. Those experiences gave me not only hands-on knowledge with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, but also a deep understanding of how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. What sets me apart is the unique combination of my professional grooming background and my shelter experience. I know how to handle pets with different personalities from shy rescues who need extra patience, to high energy pups who crave play and engagement. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a side job, it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times. Because my grooming schedule is only 3–4 days a week, I have extra time that I’d love to dedicate to helping care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, both in the grooming salon and outside of it. I believe every pet should feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of the family.

“Had another great experience with Josefina. Would definitely book again for a drop in visit.”

I currently own a Pomeranian (16 yrs), a female PomChihuahua (9 yrs), a rescue sphynx cat (7yrs). All three paw children harmoniously thrive wonderful together. I also have 20+ years of extensive experience with fostering, rehabilitated abused and abandoned cats and dogs finding them permanent loving forever homes with additional experience boarding exotics from raccoons, possums, snakes, parrots, skunks, tarantulas, to parakeets, & a giant tortoise. Was a SPCA volunteer in Henderson, NV.

My schedule is very flexible on all weekdays and weekends so I will always be available and standby to walk, feed, care, and even tuck your pawchild to sleep. Which I do every night for my pets too.

My two senior dogs and cat are very docile, calm, and very loving pets and are very easy to get along with other animals. I have (2) teenagers who also love and cherish our family pets and will also cherish guest pets in the home.

“Joey is very nice and a great help! She was very responsive throughout the whole process and sent me regular updates during the visit. My Bichon is 12 y/o and has some problems with her teeth and joints, so I appreciate Joey for handling my various care instructions. Definitely would work with her again!”

“We've relied on Clive twice: once for a two-week trip where he stayed in our house and took care of our 17-year-old dog and two cats, and once where he dropped in for a week to take care of the cats only. Both times Clive provided excellent care. He administered two kinds of medicine to the dog, and he went above and beyond to also handle household tasks such as watering our plants. Clive is a true professional who takes his job seriously, and I have no hesitation in either recommending him or relying on him again.”
