“Thank you Gabrielle and Patrick for taking such good care of Puffy! Gabrielle kept me up to date on their day and sent me lots of cute pictures - I’d love for Puffy to have another stay with them. 👏”
2. 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 :)”

14. 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.”
15. Liubov M.
“Liubov is great with taking care of my dog, who is pretty anxious in new spaces with new people. She does a wonderful job of making my dog feel calm and comfortable. Liubov also sends me regular updates of photos and videos of my dog and is so communicative of how my dog is doing overall. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter for their pet!”
16. Timothy C.
“Timothy was great with Ruby. During our first initial meeting with him, my partner and I felt comfortable and that Ruby was in the right hands. Even her brother, Maui, liked him. We appreciated the updates he sent during the middle of the day of her stay with him, which gave us ease that Ruby was doing well.”
17. Bruce P.
“Bruce truly went above and beyond to take care of our dog Rusty over the holidays! I was so worried about finding a reliable and responsible sitter in the middle of our crazy Thanksgiving season. Bruce completely put my fears to rest. He was wonderful to communicate with and sent the nicest photos of our dog throughout the week. I would highly recommend Bruce!”
18. 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!”
19. Shruti D.
“Shruti was very friendly and communicative while we were away for a weekend. I would definitely ask her to watch Luna again. Luna definitely appreciated all the work hangouts as well as sun bathing in the patio!”
20. Christine & Mark C.
“Christine and Mark were so great with my little old dog. He was so happy with them that I was concerned he wouldn’t want to come home to me. Thank you so much for all the TLC!”

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.
