“Clint was great. Really friendly and willing to make extra time for our dog. Not only that he was able to come through when I needed to take care of family that was in the hospital. Kudos to Clinton!”

“Jessica was a huge help! I had to leave town last minute and she was super flexible with me. My dog and I are both pretty high maintenance and she did great about taking all of my over the top instructions head on!”

“Katheryn was amazing, super helpful and communicative. Our dog puppy had an accident before she was picked up and Katheryn gave her a bath. Truly above and beyond.”

“Martha is easy to communicate with, super reliable and very caring towards my pups. I feel lucky to have met her and so relieved that my little fluffy friends have Martha to take them out each day!”


“Benoit was amazing with Cal! He keeps you updated throughout the walk and provides a thorough and often hilarious recap of their adventures afterward. He’s incredibly sweet with Cal, and the care and attention he gives her are obvious in how much she enjoys spending time with him. I’d highly recommend Benoit to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Lauren was great - she came for a meet and greet, had great questions, arrived right on time, and followed all instructions! I would definitely book again.”

“David was great! Responded quickly and was flexible on timing as I had to book my dog’s walk last minute due to a change in work schedule. David took great care of my mini bernie, Marshall. He was communicative, flexible, on time, and attentive. It was nice to know Marshall was in good hands.”

“André has gone above and beyond as a walker. Our pup has special needs, and he's very attentive to our pup's needs. We did an initial meet & walk together so that he could get comfortable with Kirby's requirements & so that we could point out what to look out for. During the walk, André was perfect with our pup. I feel total confidence handing Kirby off to him each day. We've engaged André for ongoing weekly support — we can't wait to keep working with him!”

About: Growing up, my family had 3 cats and 2 dogs. I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was 21, I was in college in New Orleans and I found a stray cat living under my house. When it was time to move, I took her with me and took care of her for years before giving her to my family so she could stay in New Orleans and live with other pets. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters - cleaning play areas, deep cleaning litter boxes, even taking care of kittens. I absolutely adore cats and would love to pet sit for you in San Francisco! I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule so it’s easy to fit in pet sitting. I’m happy to house sit or drop in for visits I can easily come to clients’ homes in SF and take care of cats - breakfast, dinner, play time, etc. I love to spend quality time with cats and play with them as well so they lead enriching lives.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life! Love being around dogs, whether it be playing and running or just chilling on the couch. Recently moved to a place where I can’t have pets, so caring for other people’s fur babies is the next best thing! I work a full time desk job, so I have plenty of energy to play, run around, and be active with dogs throughout the day. They give me an excuse to get away from my desk! Years and years of caring for dogs has given me the experience of identifying the comfort level of animals. I am honest and trustworty. I want to keep my regulars and want them to trust that I will care for their precious animals.
About: I have taken care of and trained my dog (a little poodle) since she was a puppy. I also help friends take care of their dogs when needed. I have experience with small and big dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. I enjoy playing with dogs and watching them. I work part time and my schedule is flexible now. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. I enjoy walking, so let me know if your dog needs someone to walk with them. I walk just one dog at a time, unless you have more than one dog. I will adjust the walking speed based on your dog’s needs. I’ll make sure to be on time for both the start and end of the walk.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals — from dogs and parrots to fish and even a turtle — so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog, Ola, was a golden retriever who lived a wonderful 14 years, and losing her made me realize just how much animals have shaped my life. For me, pet sitting isn't just about making sure your pet is fed and cared for — it's about getting to know *them*. I love learning their personalities, earning their trust, and figuring out the little things that make them happiest. Whether that's playing fetch, going for a long walk or hike, or simply hanging out together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I've also had experience caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I cared for Ola through her final days when she was no longer able to walk, and I've also cared for dogs recovering from injuries. Those experiences taught me to be especially attentive to an animal's comfort, routine, and individual needs, and I'll bring that same care and sensitivity to your family member. I work on a hybrid schedule, which makes it easy for me to spend extra time with pets on my remote-working days. I love the routine that comes with caring for an animal — their walks, meals, playtime, and excitement about the smallest things have a wonderful way of bringing structure and joy to my day. Your pet isn't just an animal I'm looking after — they're a little individual with their own quirks, preferences, and personality. I'd love the chance to get to know yours! I work a hybrid schedule with 2 days in/office and 3 days remote, so I have lots of time to shower your pet with attention, play and cuddles. On the days I’m out of the house, I’m home by 6PM because I hate the idea of a pet waiting too long for company. Since all I need is WiFi to get my work done, I’m also happy to spend the day at your home so your furry friend never has to be alone. My two bedroom apartment has plenty of cozy lounging space and I’m just an 8 minute walk from the park, so walks are quick, easy and never feel like a chore. Even when I don’t have a pet with me, I love stepping outside for a little fresh air during breaks, coffee runs or just to stretch my legs. Getting to share that time with a pet by my side is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day.
About: Recently moved to SF and looking to explore with your pet! I love to walk through the neighborhood and run. I’ve had pets my whole life (dogs & cats) and love nothing more than going for a long walk or sitting outside with a dog. I grew up with a German shepherd, German shepherd mix and doodle (all pictured). We now have a husky and have been enjoying taking care of other dogs to scratch the itch of having two My schedule is currently 3 days in the office with two days working from home. Other than Monday, those two days are flexible and I would accommodate your pet given the schedule. The first thing I do in the morning when taking care of a pet is attend to their needs, i.e. walk, feed etc. that is also the last thing I will do before heading to bed. While working from home I am able to take the dog out during the day to walk, play, etc.
“Federico connected with my dog instantly and took him on long, enriching walks while I was out of town. He also sent great photos and videos throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend him!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joey has been absolutely incredible. From day one, he has been patient, kind, dependable, and genuinely caring with my Great Dane, Zeus. He took the time to earn Zeus's trust instead of rushing the process, and it has been amazing to watch their bond grow. Joey is professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He treats Zeus like one of his own and always goes the extra mile to make sure he's happy, safe, and well cared for. It's obvious that Joey understands dogs and knows how to work with them in a calm, confident, and compassionate way. Having someone you can completely trust with your dog is priceless, and I couldn't recommend Joey more highly. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do, Joey is the person you want. Five stars without hesitation!”

Benoit was amazing with Cal! He keeps you updated throughout the walk and provides a thorough and often hilarious recap of their adventures afterward. He’s incredibly sweet with Cal, and the care and attention he gives her are obvious in how much she enjoys spending time with him. I’d highly recommend Benoit to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

Diana was great! I booked her last minute for a 1 hour walk because I had a very long day at work. She was able to get the key from the front desk and take my dog out with no problem. She was easy to communicate with and followed all my directions. She also sent photos and kept me updated. I highly recommend 👍👍👍

We booked Emilee to walk our rambunctious 47lb dog who can be reactive if another dog approaches. She was very open to our instructions on handling him and was leading him around like a champ by the end of the walk. Also her communication style was prompt and clear.
Jacob was phenomenal with our border collie! We did a meet and greet, then he took her on an hour long walk and she was comfortable with him right away. He’s clearly amazing with dogs and was able to safely let her off leash to play fetch and explore. We are very impressed with his communication and appreciate the updates and photos he sends. Will definitely hire him again for future walks / pet sitting!

Matt was such a great match for Uhtred, especially on a day when we really needed someone we could trust. We had an important doctor’s appointment at UCSF, and Matt went out of his way to make the walk work around our schedule, even offering convenient meeting options to make getting to our appointment easier. He was incredibly attentive to Uhtred’s needs and flexible when the coffee shop wasn’t the right environment, switching to a quiet walk to park instead. It’s hard to find someone you can trust your fur baby with on short notice, but Matt is absolutely that person. We’re so grateful and would happily book him again!

Brittany has been my regular weekly dog walker since I got my rescue a month ago and is absolutely wonderful. She's so sweet and patient with my pup Teddy! I love her reports and photos - you can tell she really cares and works with Teddy on his goals. On top of that, she's so fast to respond, easy to schedule with, and just generally easy going to work with. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone gentle and attentive with your dog - she's my #1 in SF
