San Carlos Dog & Pet Photography: Big Personality, Small Town Charm
Show off your pet’s personality with photoshoots set in the picture perfect-settings of San Carlos’ many parks, trails and charming downtown.

Meet Mark Rogers
San Carlos dog and pet photography is all about combining that friendly “City of Good Living” vibe with some seriously great scenery. I’m Mark Rogers, a longtime Bay Area pet photographer and I love working in this stretch of the Peninsula where you can go from charming downtown streets to scenic hillside trails in just minutes.
It doesn’t matter if your dog’s up for a sunny stroll through Burton Park or a scenic hike at Pulgas Ridge, San Carlos offers backdrops as varied as the pets I photograph.
We’ll find locations that fit your pet’s personality—whether that’s chasing a ball across wide-open fields, posing in front of blooming gardens or taking a belly-rub break under a shady oak. The goal is simple: relaxed, fun sessions that bring out your pet’s quirks, charm, and everything you adore about them.
By the end, you’ll have images you’ll treasure forever and a pet who thinks professional photography needs to be part of their weekly routine (preferably with more treats).
Let’s get this pet play date started! Schedule a call with me to start planning your pet photoshoot in San Carlos today!
The Reviews Are In
See how my San Carlos area pet photography clients feel about working with me

Ryan – San Carlos, CA
The thing that impressed me most about Mark was that he took his time to get just the right shot of our two cats, He spent over an hour, crawling on our floor and waving a cat toy!
We are so pleased with the results recommend him to anyone looking for a good pet photographer.

Herb – San Carlos CA
We were thrilled with the how well Mark worked with our cute but shy dog. It was clear from our first contact with him he really enjoys his work and that comes out in everything he does. Mark took the time to socialize with our dog, which is not always easy and the final images show the connection they made in just that short time!

Brandy – Palo Alto, CA
WOW! Just WOW! The shots were beyond perfect! I just keep looking at them over and over.
