About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking for the past year and it’s become my favorite activity. I give careful, loving attention, and it’s a plus if the dog has been trained to respond to commands. I keep up with dog behavioral tips, carry essential items on-the-go, and you won’t find me scrolling on my phone during walks! I regularly walk a playful and adorable Labradoodle named Jerry. I don’t yet have a dog of my own but I will always make time for them. Simply put, dogs make life better! I’m a former librarian who enjoys helping others, and when I’m not walking, you’ll find me planning on volunteer committees, singing in choirs, and mentoring a fantastic teen. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch/pooches! My services include walking only, not pet sitting. Safety comes first, then fun. I am easily adaptable to following specific instructions or rules from each owner.

“Sarah is such a loving and caring person with my dog. He absolutely loves her and her kids! She always keeps me updated on everything that’s going on with him and responds to every single one of my messages super quickly. I can tell he is happy, safe, and well cared for with her. I would definitely trust her with my dog again without hesitation. Highly recommend Sarah! ❤️🐶”

“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”

“Michael was wonderful, an easy five-star experience. He took the time to come by beforehand to meet Mika and Pedro and get to know them before their first walk, which immediately made me feel like they were in safe hands. What really stood out was how attentive he was to the little things that matter to me as their owner. He asked whether I cared more about getting miles in or giving them time to sniff and explore, and he even let me show him our routine for crossing streets, having them wait while we check both ways before giving them the “let’s go.” I really appreciated that he wanted to keep things consistent with what the dogs already know rather than just doing things his own way. Communication was great, the dogs clearly had a great experience, and as a bonus, Michael takes fantastic photos! I highly recommend him and will absolutely be booking with him again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15.Friends have relied on me to walk,feed, and take their dog out when they are out of town. I am going to transfer to sfsu in the fall. I am currently pretty open through the week and weekends. I work as a caregiver as well twice a week. I am looking for something to do with the extra time i have on my hands! I work as a caregiver as well twice a week I will make sure doors are closed at all times to ensure your dogs will not get out. I will be with pups at all time.

“Merrill kept our German shepherd very happy in our absence by walking her and giving her lots of TLC. Thank you, Merrill, for letting us take our trip without worrying about Emma's wellbeing, and for making her time with you fun! We appreciated the updates and photos. Next time we need dog-sitting services, we won't hesitate to be in touch, and Emma will be very happy to see you again!”

About: Hello! My name is Giselle; I am a 25-year-old full time medical assistant as well a part time student. I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I have two cats of my own, as well as small dog. I have had them since babies, so I have experience in raising animals, not only that but doing my research in order to be a great pet parent. I also have experience from working at a doggy day care. I had responsibilities to watch over small, medium and large dogs, feed, them and bathe them. I also have experience with dog boarding as I would also stay overnight some days of the week. One of the best jobs I have ever done. Ultimately my career will be in the medical field, but I hold working with animals close to my heart! I am currently on winter break, so with that being said I am open and more available than I would be during the semester! I am available weekends and weekday evenings since I work 8-5pm! I have a fenced yard, and pet proofed home. Since I have pets of my own, I have to be on top of their safety, so nothing I am not used to.

“Gina was great with our shy dog! She was on time and we’ll definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life but we’re I’m living now does not allow them so I need the connection with dogs. I just recently retired and this is a perfect opportunity for me to connect with them. I am a retired carpenter who loves animals. I would like to help others, WALK their dogs or take care of their cats at their home. I am available Monday through Friday wifh scattered hours between 7:30 AM until 6 PM At this point in time, I only have a cat. So I clean the litter out feed the cat give him lots of loving, but need more association with other animals. Unfortunately, our dog passed away, and we have chosen to get another one. I have taken care of other friends animals, and walk their animals.

About: I absolutely love animals! Dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it! I grew up with cats my entire life and got my first puppy of my own during quarantine (a yellow lab). I have additional experience caring for all kinds of dogs, dog sitting, dog walking, etc. (I nannied for a family with a labradoodle for 3 years.) I currently work in an emergency department. My schedule is a 2 week schedule that repeats, so I’m available every other weekend, every other Mon/Tues and every other Thurs/Fri. I’m hoping to find a few clients who are flexible as well! Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide home services at my own home as my boyfriend and I have 3 kitties and 1 dog of our own (unless your doggo is comfortable around cats).

About: When I adopted my first dog he was incredibly nervous around people he is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.

“It was awesome going away and knowing Peter was in the comfort of his own home with a very caring person. Courtney sent us updates and pictures/videos the entire time. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I am a life-long dog owner and lover. In the past few years I have helped raise multiple puppies and been a professional pet and house sitter. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teeny tiny to 130+ lbs ! I love going on walks in nature and making sure dogs get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. And of course, lots of snuggles! I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs as well, including medication and special diets. I look forward to meeting your sweet pup! I am a musician who works from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to pour into the animals I am caring for. Daily walks are my favorite! I treat every space I enter as sacred and care for it like my own. My home has 2 small dogs currently, so it is designed for their care and safety. I love to leave a space cleaner than when I found it! And bless it with positive energy, leaving you with a happy pet.
