Pet Sitting Woodside

About: I'm an experienced dog owner with over 15 years of dog care experience. I have three dogs of my own and fostered 36 dogs throughout my childhood, giving me familiarity with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. While I've been away at college, I've really missed spending time with my dogs and would love the opportunity to walk and care for yours! I am very available this summer for either regularly scheduled or one-off visits. I will be in the area and able to take care of your pets until late September. I am very attentive to detail and will be sure to follow all instructions. I can be easily reached by phone and will stay in regular contact as needed. I have experience working with anxious dogs (both my own and others I've cared for), and I am comfortable walking dogs who may not be friendly to other dogs. I cannot watch dogs at my house, but I am comfortable stopping by your home for visits.

About: I'm open to most types of pet sitting and have a hybrid work approach so more often than not am able to stay for the majority of the day with your furry child! I love walking in general, playing with dogs, cats, and appreciate that every pet has their own personality. Pet setting has always been a source of joy in my life and creating long standing relationships with families and their pets. It is such an amazing feeling to be treated with a wagging tail or a tail straight up depending on the pet :) and know that sending photos of their fur friend is bringing peace of mind to a family. I understand how much a pet means and am willing to go the extra mile to fit your families needs. I'm a graduate student getting a masters in clinical psychology in the evenings, which means I am available most days of the week and weekend during the day. I know I'm in good company here in saying that I treat my own cat like she's a part of my family. With any animal I'm taking care of I do my best to adhere to the schedule that the pet is used to in an effort to maintain a sense of normalcy when their family is away from them. I usually like to get to know what each pet likes and make sure we are trying to do some of their favorite activities to make their time positive. I make a concerted effort to keep the home neat and tidy each day so that the pet is also feeling clean and comfortable, but also so that the owners know that I respect not only their pet but their home. Depending on the preference of the owner I find it fun to send a small daily update which includes a photo and how the pet is doing overall.

“We are very happy with Nina and Leo looking after our two dogs. Kind, reliable, very diligent in looking after and taking care of the dogs. Highly recommend their services.”

About: As a fellow dog parent, I know just how important it is to find someone who'll love your pup like their own. I've learned so much from raising my sweet Cavapoo over the past 4 years - including navigating separation anxiety and training challenges with help from the awesome folks at Cali K9 and Zoom Room. All these experiences have made me a patient, understanding caregiver who knows every dog is uniquely special. Your furry friend will have a blast joining us for adventures in our local parks and trails, where we keep tails wagging with plenty of fun and positive reinforcement. I've had the joy of caring for many pups with different personalities, and I always make sure each one feels safe, happy, and right at home with us. Let's give your dog the loving attention they deserve! I'm thrilled to share what a typical day would look like for your pup! I've marked my calendar to show the days I'm home and fully available to focus on caring for your dog. Since I work from home on these days, I'm here to give your furry friend lots of attention and care. We follow a fun routine that includes at least three energetic walks daily, plus plenty of playtime with our collection of toys to keep everyone happy and engaged! I do pop out briefly for my gym sessions, but I'll always keep you in the loop about my schedule. Your dog will never feel lonely - they'll be right by my side throughout the day, getting all the love and attention they deserve! I maintain a clean, pet-proofed apartment where your furry friend can relax without any worries. For bedtime, I have a dedicated crate in the study where my dog sleeps, and I have an extra crate available if your pup is crate-trained - though they're also welcome to find their comfy spot anywhere in the apartment! Safety is my top priority, so I take extra precautions like always keeping doors securely locked and making sure the apartment is tidy and free of anything that could be harmful. When we head out for walks in our quiet, safe neighborhood, your pup will always be properly leashed, and I even use special light-up collars for our evening strolls. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in a secure, peaceful environment with someone who takes their safety seriously

“Julia is the best Cat Sitter ever! She is a joy to communicate with, very mature, thorough and lovely. She seems to love the details of taking care of my cats and is attentive and remembers everything. She loves the animals and sends great reports that let you know she has really spent time with them. I was away for over 2 weeks and was deeply concerned my hyper attached Bengal would stop eating. But no problem. Julia Rocks! I'd like to keep her my secret but she deserves the report!”

“Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.”

“Michele was great at taking care of my older cat. She communicated very well, made sure he was fed properly, and took care of everything else that was needed. I would definitely try to book Michele again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, providing companionship, and following their regular feeding and care routines. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and happy while they’re away, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing attentive, loving care. As a college student home for summer with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a passion of mine. As a stay-at-home mom to three wonderful girls, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. We have two sweet Cavapoos of our own, so I truly understand that dogs are family and deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and attention we’d want for our own. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. Whether your pup needs a potty break, a walk, playtime, fresh water, cuddles, or medication, I’ll care for them with patience and compassion while following your routine and instructions carefully. I have experience administering medications and am happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs. Something that’s especially important to me is communication. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos after every visit. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. When I visit your home, I’ll treat both your dog and your home with the utmost respect. I’ll make sure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need, and before I leave, I’ll ensure they have fresh water, everything is secure, and they’re comfortable until you return. My three girls have grown up around dogs and absolutely love them. When appropriate, they enjoy joining me on walks and are gentle, kind, and respectful around animals. Dogs have always been a big part of our family, and caring for them brings us so much joy. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs, I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting both you and your pup! I am super flexible since I stay at home with my kids! Pet care can fit into our day seamlessly since I homeschool as well. When a dog is in my home or my clients home, I treat them as if they are one of my own. Our dogs are everything and part of our life.

“5 stars, very professional and did a great job.”

“Nora was amazing! Prompt communicator, very trustworthy, kind, and has such a great energy for dogs. I have never left my dogs with anyone because I’m so nervous to, but after having Nora watch my pups this week I would trust her a thousand times to watch them again. Definitely go with Nora if you’re looking for an amazing human to watch your dog babies!!!”

“I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.”

Christine K.

“Amber was fantastic. I came home to a happy and healthy pup. She was a good communicator, left detailed recaps of her visits, and took great photos! I will definitely call on Amber again the next time I have to go out of town.”

“Our sitter randomly left our pets and Alex stepped in to save the day. He took care of our pets really well even finding our 2 cats stuck in the bedroom. Would book again!”

Eugene P.

“I'm so glad we found Fabiola, she was a wonderful caretaker to our rabbits. She came over before our trip to make sure she understood what was necessary and was communicative throughout. She was very thorough, leaving their space very clean. She was also kind and we will definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! I work from home and have flexibility to watch another dog from time to time. My pup is a golden retriever adopted last year, she is very friendly and knows how to give older dogs their space and has been exposed to younger puppies which she also does well with. I have a perfect backyard for fetching, sniffing and sunny 😎 naps. Doggies of all sizes and ages are welcome. I have lot of toys, pet beds, grassy areas in my home. I also have a large pet friendly car, ready to help with drop off and pick ups if needed. I have flexibility to watch your pup during weekdays and weekends. I have our dog to care for so it's easy to add another 1-3 to the mix :) I have a large fenced in yard, also live within walking distance to nearby off leash dog friendly parks and natural areas. I have many pet beds and can also provide a crate if needed.
