Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Bernal Heights, San Francisco

“We are so happy to have had Laura look after our cat Cleo. Cleo quickly warmed up to Laura’s gentle care. It was great to receive daily updates along with adorable photos and videos. We appreciated that Laura stopped by for a brief initial meeting so that we felt confident that Cleo was in good hands.”

“Ada was amazing and so helpful with watching my cat. I was so glad she was able to accept my request last minute and during the entire time was able to receive lovely pictures of my boy. Very fast at communication as well!”

“Jace watched my kitty over a 4 day long weekend and did a wonderful job! Jace was accommodating with a last minute booking and made time to come do a meet and greet beforehand. During the meet and greet, Jace was so gentle and sweet to my pets and wasn’t phased by my fearful, barking dog. My cat has asthma and requires an inhaler, and thankfully Jace had experience with administering an inhaler. I got wonderful pictures and updates during the drop-ins. I would recommend hiring Jace for your pet sitting needs!”

“If there’s only one person I can recommend to take care of your pet it would be EJ :) He’s one of the most caring dog owners I know who brings great pawsitivity when watching over our little princess. I can definitely rely on EJ to take care of our dog for the week since he gives all the necessary time and attention needed for our dog to be happy throughout the day. I can confidently say that EJ has made our days less stressful when we know she is in good hands!”

“Helen was great! My cat Sadie tends to be quite shy and will often run and/or hide from strangers, but it didn’t take long for Sadie to feel comfortable around Helen.”

“Lydia responded within minutes of receiving my booking request. While I was away, she sent pictures while she stayed with my cats to update me on how they're doing. I really appreciated her great communication throughout. Super happy with Lydia's help and would definitely work with her again!”

“Page was fantastic to work with from start to finish! She was super quick and responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure our little guy was well cared for. We would absolutely book her again and feel so grateful for her help. Our puppy is still learning some things and can be quite a handful to say the least, but Page didn't seem to have any trouble with him, and we felt super secure and comfortable with her watching him. Highly, highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household almost my entire life. More personally, I’ve had my own dog for 3 years now and raised her since she was 2 months old. I care for her and love like she is my human child❤️ My availability is very open at the moment, so I am able to do drop ins and walks anytime! Mornings and early afternoons work best for me but feel free to reach out about any other times! I am very patient and caring towards all pets I encounter and dog sit. I understand what it is like to have both a very energetic and timid dog, so patience and kindness is key!

“Alessia is awesome! Took great care of Little while I was away. Was on time every time and went above and beyond to make Little feel less lonely while she was there!”

“We absolutely loved using Ria to watch our little fur baby. Ria is incredibly trustworthy and was very communicative with updates and pictures. Thank you, Ria, for making us feel so comfortable that our kitty was in good hands while we were away. We also appreciated the little extras like bringing in our mail packages. Highly recommend Ria for pet sitting and we will be using her again!”

“Jane was amazing! She took great care of our dog and cat and sent sweet updates and photos of them. Thank you!!”

About: Growing up, I’ve always played a big role in taking care of my family’s two dogs and relatives’ pet. But since I moved to SF a year ago, I’ve really missed being around animals, so I’m here to help take care of your pets since I can’t have one of my own — yet! I’m more experienced with smaller to medium-sized dogs since I grew up with a Maltese and a Yorkie, but I love big dogs as well! My family dog is a Maltese with a heart condition, so I’m also experienced in taking care of elderly dogs who may need extra attention and special care, like giving medication. I’ve also taken care of pet bunnies, including cleaning waste, refilling hay, and ensuring they’re jot overheating. I work full-time on weekdays from 9-5pm, so I prefer either before or after work! Happy to check in during lunch as well, if given notice in advance and location is close by. I’m generally more free to take care of pets on the weekends and holiday weekends. I can’t host pets in my apartment but back at home, I practice safe protocols and am aware of any dangers, including proper enclosure, predator risks like coyotes, giving meals and medicine on time, and weather issues (high temps affecting dog walks).

“Joao is wonderful! He’s our first choice when we need a dog sitter. He is friendly, trustworthy and dependable, and our dogs love him. He communicates with us often which lets us enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs are in good hands. Debra M.”

“Julia is a super-attentive dog walker. Dogs love her, because they know she loves them - she makes walking a fun event, not just a "do your business" chore. Julia is more than a dog walker, she is a dog entertainer. She talks in a sing song voice to the dogs and asks them questions and keeps them walking where they need to be, safely. That said, she is a responsible adult and is focused on safety - she checks collars and harnesses and makes sure everyone is ready to go. The dogs come back happy and exercised. I have owned dogs for 50 years. You can tell if they are excited to see somebody, and my dogs go nuts with joy when they see her. And that is valuable to me.”

“Brooke has always been phenomenal when watching my pup when I’m away. She takes the extra time to not only walk the dog, but spend time with the dog as well so he isn’t holed up in the house alone all day. My dog loves spending time with her and doesn’t get nearly as upset when I leave because he knows he gets to see her. Highly recommend for all of your dog sitting needs!”

“Tran loves dogs: He often asks for a dog at home ( unfortunately my wife is allergic to dog’s fur) When he goes to visit my daughter’s home. He take care well of her dog. (Go exercising with dog, feed dog. Bathing dog.,,) After all he loves dog.”

About: I have many years of experience working with all types of animals. I have been animal lover since I was a young child, and was fortunate enough to have cared for many animals growing up. When I was 9 years old I had my own horse, and have experience with other farm animals such as cows, donkeys, pigs, goats, and chickens. I enjoy caring for farm animals, but since finishing my grad program and moving back home to the Bay I'm mainly caring for dogs, cats, and the occasional smaller pets. I have experience with dog training, puppy care, senior care, and multiple dogs in one household. I've also cared for birds, bunnies, reptiles, fish, and rodents. I have cared for elderly dogs that need slow and minimal outdoor time, puppies that require full-time attention, large dogs who think they are lap dogs, and small dogs with the biggest personality. Whether you're looking for someone to exercise your pup, or just give them some attention throughout the day, I'm happy to help. I recently moved back to the Bay and I'm currently taking some time off work after graduating this past year with my masters degree, which gives me a very open schedule to help with regularly scheduled care, and last minute requests as well. Safety is my priority when caring for your pets. I create a safe and loving environment by building trust with your pet(s), having a higher than average understanding of animal behavior and communication, and genuinely enjoying the time I spend with animals.

“Morgan is the GREATEST dog sitter and walker. She has taken care of my Mabel and Sugar since I adopted them and there’s no one else I trust with my babies. She always takes them on fun adventures and they come back so happy. The get so excited to see her when she comes over and I can relax on my travels knowing they are in safe hands. Cannot recommend more highly!”

“Pammy loved Kristin! She knew just how to give company to a slightly temperamental kitty. Very communicative, kind, and punctual. Will def hire again!”

“Mariana was professional and very loving towards my cats. We appreciated her excellent communication and the adorable pictures she sent of the cats while we were away.”
