“Joey was fantastic with our three month old puppy! We are new puppy parents and both nurses so we work long shifts. This was our first time leaving our new puppy home while we both worked a 12 hour shift. She came 3 times, for an hour each time and provided tons of updates. She reinforced training we’ve been working on and made us feel so comfortable leaving him! Will definitely be rebooking again with Joey!”

“Laxmi was amazing as always! Our very anxious cat always feels so comfortable with her and Laxmi makes it a point to send us adorable pictures and was also very flexible on the time and duration of sitting which we greatly appreciated!”

“Jessica was super attentive and responsible in watching my cat while I was gone! She really takes effort to make sure your pet is happy and you are comfortable as well. I could see in update pics that my cat LOVED her company, which is always so nice to see. Shes very communicative and professional as well.”

“Naomi took great care of our cat while we were out of town for a few days. She fed our kitty and gave her meds a couple times each day, and was great about communicating and sending pictures. We would recommend Naomi to anyone, and hope she can care for our cat again in the future!”


About: Hey there, San Francisco! A little about me: I've had dogs all my life and my love of animals inspired me to study veterinary nursing in college (Didn't finish, but walked away with skills regardless!). I'm huge on animal welfare, and work like this does my heart wonders, as I hope my services do for you and yours! I've had plenty of experience fostering puppies/dogs, as well as with kittens/cats and other small animals if you are in need of help with them as well. I have done some behavioral training with my own previous dog. I also have experience and tons of patience with special needs animals, so medication, specific accommodations, etc. shouldn't be a problem! In fact, our little buddies that need a little extra help hold a particularly special place in my ❤️ In addition, I hold a certificate in dog CPR and first aid, as indicated in my pictures. Looking forward to making new friends with y'all! My current schedule is somewhat flexible, with a few gigs here and there. Obviously, the more notice I have, the better. But if I can work with you, I most certainly will! I can be an early riser if needed, but generally I wake up around 10 a.m. on average. I mostly stay up pretty late, so there is that too. Howling at the moon, of course 😜 Typically, I prefer to do a meet and greet before booking any of my services. I want to make sure that we both feel comfortable with the arrangement and that I can successfully meet your expectations. The more information I have before booking and before the service begins, the better. You'll see that I am highly communicative and send way too many pictures lol! It's important to me to be fully transparent and to be able to reinforce the trust that has been given to me. I understand the importance of our animals and how preciously we want them to be cared for. Whenever and wherever possible, I always try and go above and beyond. Should you need any services that would involve my home, I live in a studio apartment in The Mission near 25th & Mission. Not a huge space, but definitely not a shoebox either. Big enough for me to feel nice and comfy, with room to spare for visitors, especially yours 😉 I don't have a yard, but I do have a gated back patio. There are some general, common animal care supplies at my place. I'm happy to send some pics if it helps to assess whether what I can offer is adequate for you! Please, ask as many and all questions that you would like. My phone is always on and nearby, should there be anything needed to be communicated. I'm pretty open, I can bend, and whatever the case, if I can, I'm more than happy to work with you with whatever situations or circumstances that might be needed to be taken into consideration. I teach yoga classes, so I am pretty fit and strong, but I generally set my dog size limit at 25 lbs and under. But each situation and dog is different, so again, whenever possible, I'll work with you if I can!
“Julia was great! She helped us out when we needed a sitter last minute. She was flexible and had great communication. Our skittish cat even let her brush her after a few visits. We’d definitely work with her again in the future!”

“Aaron and his wife were so kind and caring through the whole process, I highly recommend then for kitty care! They went above and beyond and seemed to be very experienced and true cat lovers, so grateful to have neighbors like them in a pinch!”

“Julia was so great walking my dog Colby! She was so communicative and thorough every step of the way. My dog can be shy and he warmed up to her right away. Thanks so much for your help, Julia! Highly recommend her as a rover 😊”

About: I have 6 years of experience in pet care, specifically with dogs and cats. During this time, I’ve honed my skills in walking, feeding, and providing at-home care. I understand the importance of routine in a dog’s life, ensuring they receive regular exercise through daily walks and playtime. I’m attentive to their nutritional needs, preparing meals and monitoring their eating habits. Additionally, I’ve created a safe and comfortable environment at home, offering companionship and care to keep them happy and healthy. My experience has deepened my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. With my hybrid work schedule, I have the flexibility to care for dogs on any day of the week, as long as I receive a week’s advance notice. This allows me to plan my days around their needs, ensuring they get regular walks, feeding, and attention. I prioritize creating a structured routine that benefits both the pets and myself, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared for, while I maintain my work commitments. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets. Since I live in an apartment with no other pets, I can focus entirely on their needs without distractions. I ensure the space is clean and free of hazards, making it a comfortable place for them to relax. During their stay, I prioritize regular walks, playtime, and proper feeding schedules tailored to their individual requirements. If I’m caring for a client’s pet in their home, I maintain their routines as closely as possible, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in familiar surroundings. I also respect their home by following any specific guidelines and keeping the environment tidy.
“Alejandro was great with Ginger! He was patient with her being shy and took the time for her to warm up to him. Great communicator and 100% on-time.”

“A saving grace! I needed last minute (literally a few hours before) help to exercise Goose. Andrea was reliable, prompt, and gave ample updates. Thank you for making my day a little less crazy.”

About: I had dogs and cats since i was 9 years old. I believe that we human are animals, and we are privileged to have other animals that love us and depend on us. I’m flexible and in full control of my time. I’m a street, and portrait analog photographer, so I plan everything ahead. I have the luxury of changing my plans if needed. I make sure pets are happy, clean and well fed. I like to play and communicate with them. It makes me happy to be close with them.

Leaving another review for Hillary because she has been absolutely amazing and so flexible with our kitties for multiple last minute requests! One of our kitties is on chemo and needs multiple meds, and it’s such a relief to have someone as trustworthy, kind, and careful as Hillary to check on him while we’re away.

Last minute, my cat had emergency surgery before a huge work weekend for me. Thankfully, Sue was available to assist. It was easy to trust her with him as she’s been my go-to sitter for a few years. I was so happy she was available because I knew he’d be in great hands during his recovery while I was away. I’m so grateful for her time, help, and support. She’s the best! TYSM, Sue! 💚

I recently just moved to the Bay Area and I had to take a trip shortly after, so I got in contact with Shailyng. One of my cats has had health issues in the past related to moving, so I was worried that this would be an issue again. Having Shailyng come over daily and give me an update on their health and wellbeing was a huge reassurance and relief during my trip. Even though they were hiding during their visits she would keep me updated very closely and even worked with my landlord to make sure they were okay.

She was amazing (and my cat agrees)! She kept me updated on everything she noticed, including eating habits and litter box activity, and consistently sent great photos and videos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. My cat will miss her for sure.
