Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Western Hills, San Mateo, CA

“Heleen took amazing care of our pups and quickly won all of us over. She was respectful of our needs and very responsive. She played with our dogs and took lots of pictures during check ins. We look forward to continue using Heleen in the future.”

“Katherine was wonderful! Sadly because of my Bruno’s health issues, he has become a full time indoor pup. With that being said, he’s usually nervous around strangers since he doesn’t get to really socialize with the outside world. As soon as Katherine walked in to our home during our meet and greet, Bruno felt comfortable to warm up to Katherine right away! She kept me up to date and sent lots of pics while I was away over the holiday weekend! I look forward to her rebooking with her the next time I’m away.”

“May took great care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation. It was such a peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We loved reading the rover cards and seeing the photos of our pets while we are away. Would book May again in the future! Thanks again May!”

About: I’ve cared for all kind of dogs at every stage of their life. I’ve watched my neighbors, friends, and families animals since I was 10 years old. Also I’ve cared for all of my own personal pets, which have been rescue senior dogs. I will treat your pet as though they were my own giving them the love and attention they need. I’m currently working at a breakfast/lunch restaurant, so my afternoons after 2 pm are open to play and attend to your delightful dog. Also I’m available anytime on Monday’s and I offer flexibility in scheduling. I will make sure to follow your instructions to a tee and I’ll be extremely alert/aware of any dangers while caring for your pet. Their safety is my number one concern.

“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”

About: I've regularly checked in on friend's and family's pets since high school. I've lived with and owned dogs for 4.5 years now, and also have a cat! I would love to spend some time playing with or brushing your dog or cat. I'm open to checking on other pets as well with instructions - I have experience with fish. I have learned to give cats oral medications and sneak meds in food as needed; just let me know what your pet needs! I'm currently taking a break from full-time work to write a book. I am fully available during typical business hours - MTWTF from morning to 5pm. I also have some availability on evenings and weekends as needed! For drop-in visits and walks - I'm happy to come to your place to check on your pet or pets! We can do an intro visit if that will help keep them calm. I will take things at their speed, whether that be run all the way to the park or quietly chill until they feel comfortable saying hi to me! For daycare - I live in an apartment with a private dog park and can separate my pets (cat & dog) from yours in separate rooms if needed. The park is rarely used and secure for dogs of all sizes. Louie would love a playmate if your dog is up for it! We also have very active bird feeders on our private balcony if your pet is more of an observer.

“Great communication, did awesome with my cat. Highly recommend”

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience Summary With over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for six cats, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and attentiveness to every aspect of pet care. My household includes one cat with a medical condition requiring a specialized diet and asthma management, giving me the skills and sensitivity to handle pets with unique health needs. This experience has instilled a strong routine of monitoring subtle behavior changes and health signs—early detection is key, and I pride myself on being observant and proactive. In addition to feline care, I’ve provided dog sitting for family members for 5 years, adapting to different breeds, temperaments, and daily routines. Whether walking, playing, feeding, or managing medications, I ensure dogs are cared for with the same consistency and affection I give my own pets. ⸻ 🌟 Daily Responsibilities & Care Habits     •    Clean litter boxes daily to maintain a hygienic, odor-free environment.     •    Closely monitor behavior, appetite, and mood shifts for early signs of illness or stress.     •    Manage medication and special diets confidently, with reliable routines and documentation.     •    Provide engaged companionship, including playtime, brushing, and snuggles.     •    Capture joyful, candid moments—I love taking pet photos and often share them with owners to give peace of mind. I work weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for morning and evening visits—perfect for feeding, companionship, or check-ins before and after work. Weekends are more flexible, allowing for extended care, walks, or overnight stays as needed. I respect and follow each pet’s existing routine to keep them comfortable and reduce stress.     •    I ensure pets are fed on schedule, walked or played with, and given attention and affection—just like they would receive from their own family.     •    I maintain a tidy space, clean up after pets, and keep the environment safe and secure.     •    I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will immediately communicate with owners if something seems off.

About: I’ve been a pet owner/lover my whole life! Happy to do whatever makes your doggie feel comfortable while you are away! I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired. I specialize in pets that are higher maintenance or require special care (administer meds, nervous/anxious animals, older animals, etc.) I hope to get to meet your furry friend(s) very soon! I am a friendly, down to earth, clean person that will make your time away worry free!

“Natalie had taken care of my cat for a month while I was on a trip. She definitely helped a lot spending time with my cat. She is very professional getting along with the cat, started from approaching slowly and acting gently. I would recommended Natalie to anyone who needs the service.”

“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”
