1. Ingyin M.
“Can’t recommend Ingyin & her partner enough! They took such great care of our dog, Cheddar. He is very anxious when he meets new people and they were so patient with him - by the end of his stay, he was fully out of his shell and so happy. Ingyin sent us plenty of photos, videos, and updates of them playing and hanging out, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. We plan to book with them again in the future :)”

4. Rachel & Benjamin K.
“They helped my anxious pup settle in and sent lots of updates throughout the day/night. I will definitely try to connect with them in the future when I am in town!”
5. 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!”
6. Teresa H.
“Teresa is one of the most caring and gentle people I have ever met. Her enthusiasm for dogs and reinforcement training is contagious. She has taken great care of my reactive Border Collie mix, Hamilton, and is extremely patient with his temperamental personality. Hamilton absolutely adores Teresa, and her pup, Pico. I couldn't recommend her enough for your dog watching needs.”
7. 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.”
8. Anne W.
“Anne was amazing! Very detailed orientated & conscientious about every detail about the care & needs of our dog. She is very knowledgable about dog behaviors & made Kendall feel right at home. Excellent communication & gave daily updates & pictures.”
9. Christine & Mark C.
“Christine and Mark were incredible sitters! I was really nervous to leave our dog, especially since we were going out of the country for 6 days, but they made my husband and I completely worry free the whole time. We got updates multiple times a day and Dennis genuinely looked happy to be with them. Dennis is a really nervous dog but and when we picked him up I honestly think he was a little sad to be leaving their home. I would 1000% recommend them and will absolutely be requesting their services in the future!”
10. 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!”
11. Eric L.
“Eric and Bahar are lovely! They took such good care of Frieda while we were gone. It provided a lot of peace of mind. We got daily photo updates and they are very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely use them again in the future.”
12. St. John B.
“John and Scoop took great care of my dog, Murphy! I received pictures of Murphy and Scoop on their walks - they even ventured out to the Presidio! Drop off and pick up were seamless and I appreciated that he met up with us before the visit to make sure everyone got along well. I would not hesitate to ask John to watch Murphy again!”
13. Cristina & Christopher V.
“Cristina & Christopher were great - very easy to communicate with, friendly, and flexible. They looked after our 12 yo Westie when we were out of town for 12 days and sent updates with photos/videos every few days. He seemed content when we left and enjoyed his time with them so much that he sniffed his way back to their front door the next day.”
14. Elliot H.
“Elliot watched Scout for a second time and he was so excited to be back. I can tell that Elliot genuinely loves dogs and gave our busy pup tons of exercise and care!”
15. 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.”
16. Betsy & Brian D.
“Betsy and Brian took great care of our little dog. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and loved all the updates while we were away. Thank you!”
17. Remo C.
“Remo took such good care of my dog, Chip. He is an excellent communicator and always sends lots of updates. I will definitely be using Remo again!”
18. Liubov M.
“Liubov took great care of my pup Charlie. She sent frequent updates with pictures, in which my pup looked very happy and comfortable. She was confident in giving my dog her required meds and managing her reactive behaviors. She was flexible and prompt with meet up times.”
19. 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!”
20. Bruce P.
“Bruce was GREAT! Gus loved his time there, was happy and exhausted when he came home, and the pics Bruce sent were darling. Thanks Bruce! XOXO-Gus :)”

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. Balboa Park, sometimes referred to as Mission Terrace, Cayuga, or Ingleside, includes the soccer-specific Boxer Stadium.
