3. Sam G.
“Sam was fantastic with Red. She is warms and welcoming and has a great set up for dogs. We were delayed getting home and Sam was flexible in keeping Red another night. It was really a great first experience and we’ll be back!”

“Jaden is very detailed oriented, patient and has good knowledge of taking care of dogs. We are happy that we found him and will definitely use him again in the future!”
6. Kevin & Kayla K.
“Kevin and Kayla were great! We went on a three week vacation, the longest we’ve had to leave Penny with a sitter. But it seemed like Penny forgot all about us based on the pictures they sent :). That made us feel a lot better knowing that she wasn’t as sad as we thought she’d be and in very good hands. Kevin and Kayla were both very communicative and sent us lots of updates and pictures, which any pet parent would appreciate. I would highly recommend!”
7. Rajni B.
“Rajni was amazing. She kept me updated on Poppy’s wellbeing and sent lots of pictures. Poppy is a bit anxious at time but she took to Rajni instantly. Rajni’s calm and caring demeanor was just what my sweet girl needed. I will definitely be rebooking.”
8. Derek & Solip "Stella" T.
“We had a fantastic experience with Derek and Solip taking care of Arlo for the weekend! They were super communicative, accommodating and easy going. They also gave frequent updates including photos and videos. Arlo had a great time and we will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”
9. Ashma B.
“Ashma came to the rescue when needed a last minute sitter for our high energy pup Zoe and exceeded every expectation. As an anxious dog mom I can say that Ashma’s updates and care for Zoe immediately put me at ease. I am so thrilled to have found her and can’t wait to have Zoe stay with her in the future!”
10. Kevin J.
“Kevin was great with Harvey! Provided lots of pupdates both pictures and videos”
11. Liubov M.
“100% recommend, we plan to rebook :) Our dog is a shepherd mix so she’s usually anxious away from us. Also has a few triggers on the street (skateboards, scooters etc). Liubov is understanding of all these limitations and boarded our dog with quiet confidence and genuine care. The regular photo and text updates were a big bonus to put our mind at ease. Excellent hand off and pick up experience.”
12. Alicia L.
“Alicia was a fantastic dog sitter. She sent us great photos and it was clear when we got back how comfortable and happy our dog had been while we were gone. We have a fit bark that tracks our dogs activity and we could see how much attention and great walks she was getting while we were gone. Alicia also went above and beyond and washed our food bowl and sent it back cleaner than it arrived.”
13. Timothy C.
“Timothy was AMAZING with our two dogs! He took them for multiple walks each day, on picnics at the park, and cared for them so well! One of our dogs had an issue with a toenail, and he promptly alerted us, offered to care for them and/or take him to the vet, and monitored and updated us to let us know when he was healed. He sent tons of photos and videos so we felt so comfortable while we were gone. We knew our dogs were in good hands! I would definitely go to him again!”
14. Bruce P.
“Rory really enjoyed her stay with Bruce and the pictures he sent were really great. Rory is a large strong dog but he has no trouble handling her.”
15. Christine & Mark C.
“Christine and Mark are PHENOMENAL!! Our dog got so much love and attention, and he also had a nice backyard to run and play around in. It was our first time boarding our dog, and we felt a bit guilty leaving him. However, after we saw the pictures and videos of him at Christine and Mark’s, we realized our dog was having the TIME OF HIS LIFE!! Thank you, Christine and Mark!!!”
16. Katie R.
“Katie was an amazing sitter for our GSP Lois. She was so kind and flexible and kept us updated with pics of her and Lois doing fun things. We felt so much better over the weekend knowing Lois was safe and happy. Thanks Katie!”
17. Judy C.
“I couldn’t think of a more amazing dog sitter than Judy! We were so fortunate to be referred to her by a friend in the city and that she was available for a full week. She watched our large labradoodle and treated her as if she was her own dog giving her so much love. We got so many photos and check-ins to let us know our girl was doing good. She even went above and beyond when our girl had an upset stomach and made her multiple homemade meals. Judy will be our go-to anytime we’re out of town! We can’t thank her enough.”
18. Remo C.
“I would not be able to relax and enjoy my vacation or any trip for that matter without Remo. Thanks to him I know my furbaby is always in the best hands.”
19. Alyssa T.
“Alyssa was AMAZING!! She is so sweet, communicative and attentive. She asked great, thoughtful questions before I even dropped Jude off to make sure he’d be comfortable. During the stay she took such great care of him and sent so many sweet updates throughout.”
20. Exequiel M.
“Exequiel was AMAZING. I always stress when I have to board Athena because she can get so distracted and excited while outdoors but Exequiel managed so well and sent updates regularly. He made me feel so calm about going off on a weekend trip and leaving her behind. In the craziness of packing, I forgot to pack her food and water bowl and even then Exequiel did not raise any alarm but rather managed through it seamlessly. Thank you SO much for watching Athena, she had so much fun. Hope to be a repeat client!”

What makes San Francisco a great city for dog owners?
Whether you call it SF, The City by the Bay, or just San Francisco, there's something about this city that dog owners love to call home. With all of the amazing parks and ocean views, it's no wonder so many pet parents enjoy living here, and there are plenty of loving Rover dog sitters in the city who'd love to spend some time with their pups. When visitors are in town, San Francisco dog owners love showing off landmarks like Alcatraz and Lombard Street or popping down to Pier 39 for some trendy eats.
Which San Francisco parks should I visit with my dog?
Looking for a place to blow off some steam with your pup? San Francisco has some truly incredible dog parks. Bernal Heights Dog Park is a scenic 35-acre, off-leash dog park that provides amazing panoramic views of the city. Fort Funston Dog Park is a fun place to visit, but keep in mind it's also frequented by horseback riders, gliders, and bicyclists. This next park is notable for being a resting place for hundreds of species of migrating birds, which is reason enough to visit! It's Pine Lake Dog Park, and it's also full of great hiking trails and a dedicated off-leash section of the park for your dog. Located in the Diamond Heights neighborhood, Glen Canyon Dog Park is 35 acres of beautiful wooded trails and canyons. For the ultimate in dog-friendly recreation, be sure to check out Duboce Dog Park. Dog walkers love this park, and there's even an annual DogFest held there to celebrate man's best friend.
Which neighborhoods in San Francisco are good for dog owners?
Alamo Square features Victorian architecture, including the iconic painted ladies homes seen in many depictions of the city.
