Pet Sitting Castro-Upper Market

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for more than 10 years. That includes puppies and kittens, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy cats, an older deaf dog, and homes with several pets. I’m comfortable following medication and special-care routines, and I pay attention to the little things that help each pet feel at ease. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’ll stick to your instructions, keep you updated with photos and videos, and take good care of your home too. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m an early riser and walk around San Francisco a lot, so dog walks fit easily into my day. I can also stop by for meals, playtime, litter or potty breaks, medication, and some company. I’m available for overnight stays too. I follow the routine you leave for me and take care to keep pets safe and comfortable. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, food, and medication instructions, and I leave the home clean and tidy. I’ve cared for senior pets, an older deaf dog, and pets with special routines. If anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I also send regular photos and videos.

“Katrina is amazing! It was clear from the intro how much she cared for dogs, and in the videos that she sent us of her time with our dog you could see how happy he was around her. We would recommend her to anyone, and will definitely utilize her services again!”

About: I've been caring for, staying with, and walking dogs for around 15 years now! In those years I've had experience with dogs ranging from true puppies, to a few senior dogs, a few needing some extra in-home medical attention, to those with near endless energy and a need to be doing and going almost all the time. I would love to get to care for your furry friend of family member, and as a dog mom myself I hope I can make you feel as comfortable as I always hope to be when I've had to leave him in someone else's hands, whether that's for a week or just an afternoon walk! I currently work east coast hours, so I can be free starting around 2pm every weekday, and can be flexible if needed and with a bit of heads up! Weekends I can and will dedicate totally to your pet if you need, and overnight stays are totally doable as I work remote so really anywhere with reliable Internet works for me, and I always love having a furry coworker with me! I understand it can be tough to be away from your pet, and so I genuinely hope to give them as much love as you would while you're gone. If you're just looking to have someone check-in for walks and/or meals I would love to be a friendly face who breaks up some of the time alone for them, and if you're needing a more long term solution I will do everything I can to make sure you feel like you have a sitter who's following your instructions to make sure your pet is getting the same kind of love you'd give them yourself!

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.

“Clinton is a great walker , excellent communication and Nugget loves him!”

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.

“We cannot thank Hannah enough for the incredible care she provided for our two cats over 15 days. One of our cats fell very sick right before our trip—he was lethargic, malnourished, and required daily medication and a special ointment for his ears. We were so worried about leaving him, but Hannah put us completely at ease. When we returned, our sick cat was like a different animal—he had gained weight, was active, and clearly felt much better. It’s clear that Hannah went above and beyond to ensure he received his medication and care with patience and love. On top of that, our cats are messy eaters, but when we came home, the apartment was spotless. Hannah even cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, which we greatly appreciated. Hannah’s dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Nico was so good with Shota! She was really patient with him as he is very nervous and apprehensive of strangers, and was great at getting him to slowly warm up to her before taking him out. I’ll definitely rebook should I need someone to check in on Shota again.”

“Lauren was phenomenal to work with Kevin loved her! She was very communicative and thorough. Definitely will be having her check on my Kevin in the future!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who's been around large dogs my entire life. At home, I have a sweet 3-year-old cat named Pepper, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My favorite pets are the ones who love to relax on the couch just as much as they enjoy getting outside for a walk or a game of fetch. Whether your dog is a playful retriever who can't get enough tennis balls or a couch potato who just wants company and cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I'm happy to match their energy—whether that's playtime, snuggles, or simply keeping them company. I'm proud to provide an LGBTQIA+ friendly, inclusive, and judgment-free experience where every pet parent is welcome. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, or overnight care, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I'll do my best to stick to your pet's normal schedule. I'm also comfortable administering routine medications and following any special care instructions to make sure your pet receives the attentive, personalized care they deserve. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My biggest priority is making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you're apart. I'll follow your pet's routine closely, keep your home tidy and secure, and make sure they have everything they need—from fresh food and water to playtime, enrichment, and affection. I'm also comfortable administering routine medications and following detailed care instructions. One thing you can count on is lots of updates! As a cat mom to Pepper, I know my favorite part of having a sitter is receiving plenty of photos and messages. I'll send regular pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for you to feel like you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.

“Anna treated my 4year old high energy golden retriever like family. She asked details about his play style and any possible triggers before she came to my house to sit for him for a few hours. She took pics and video all throughout. I knew he was in good hands. Will book her again without a shadow of a doubt.”

“Megan took excellent care of my two cats! Great communication, reports with lots of pics, and I came home to healthy, happy cats. A+++, I would rebook any time.”

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.

“Caren is an awesome sitter! When we met she asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew how to keep my cat, Puppy, happy and healthy. She clearly cares a lot about animals and was flexible with visit times to make sure Puppy’s routines weren’t too disrupted while I was away. She also watched her over the 4th of July - a pretty stressful time for a kitty – and despite all the noise, Puppy seems to have had a good time. Caren sent detailed updates and lots of photos so I knew Puppy was in good hands. Thanks again!”

“Highly recommend Molly to care for your pets! She’s super friendly, attentive to my puppy’s needs, quick with communication, and always available to help out. My puppy Stella absolutely adores Molly, and I know Stella is in good hands with Molly. Will be rebooking with Molly constantly!”

“Haley was amazing! She visited my cat while I was on vacation - she sent updates so I knew all was well, was very easy to get ahold of and I returned home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. She even very conveniently met me at my apartment to return my keys. Thank you Haley!!”
