Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Diamond Heights

“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!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and naturally connect with both dogs and cats. If I'm at a party, there's a good chance you'll find me hanging out with the pet instead of the people. I had a cat, Nellie, for 11 years, and I've also lived with and helped care for an untrained puppy for two years, so I'm comfortable with the patience and consistency young dogs need. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy earning an animal's trust and understanding their individual personality, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have a part time job right now so I have lots of time to play with your fuzzy friends. I also love exploring the city and would love to be joined by your pups! I am patient, respectful, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it's taking dogs for walks, playing with energetic puppies and kitties, or spending calming time with everyone, I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. I have house sat many times before, and have 3 years of babysitting experience, so I have been in unfamiliar environments and am respectful and responsible.

“Lani was absolutely phenomenal with Flynn! She was very punctual and caring. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you so much.”

“Joyce is amazing!!! Very communicative and has a high sense of detail. Glad to call her George’s new best friend!”

“Rongrong has cat sat for us a few times now and she continues to be very communicative and thorough. She takes great care of our cat and we are very grateful to her!”

“Mick was a great drop in cat sitter. He was quick and responsive and always punctual. Our cats take a while to warm up to people so they didn't develop a close bond with Mick. However, the important thing is they were well fed and energetic when we came back from vacation.”

“Dalara was super responsive and adapted to a bit of a curve ball at the last minute. We appreciate her and her husband checking on our old pup while we were visiting Baltimore from out of town and sending lots of photos. She gave me total peace of mind. Will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”

Kara H.

“Carmen was great with our cat, and sent lots of pictures every day. She played with him and gave him lots of cuddles. We're glad we found her!”

About: I am a very active person. I take my own German Shepherd and Labrador out for long adventure walks and finding new hiking places around the city. I live in an apartment with no yard so I have to make sure my pups have enough play time and mental stimulation. I am willing to run with dogs, play with them, take them to the park as well as just having quiet relaxing walks. I am good with any breed of dog and any size and am also good with cats, too. I own two cats myself and she is very playful. I am capable of continuing your pets education by enforcing the basic commands such as sit, down, off and come. I can also use commands and train pets by the owner’s preferences. I currently work at Sunset Veterinary Hospital part time so I am available most days or even on my lunch while in the area to watch and walk your pups and kitties! I am not able to do any boarding because of my buildings regulations but I can spend time with your pets in your own home for most of the day. I will do any pet chores necessary and can make sure the pets eat and play. I can accommodate for any requests. I want to make sure the pets are happy and healthy throughout the entire day with me. If there are any pet chores needed like leaving food and water and I can follow any feeding instructions. I love to train dogs and give them the required amount of mental stimulation as well as playtime. I don’t mind playing any games with your pups with or without toys. I can take the pups to different parks and fields as well as beaches.

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: Nice to meet you! I am a lifelong lover of animals, and have always had pets of my own. I have years of experience volunteering at the Humane Society, in addition to pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I understand that it is nerve-wracking to leave our pets, and I welcome the responsibility and privilege that comes along with caring for these special creatures. I am comfortable with administering any medications needed, as well as walking and socializing the animals to ensure they maintain their routines and feel at ease. Every animal is unique, with their own habits, preferences and comfort levels with new people. I understand the importance of paying attention to their queues and adapting to their needs. Our pets are our family, and I will treat yours as just that. I have a very flexible schedule! I am available during the week days and weekends to come by and spend meaningful time with your fur babies, take them on walks, and can make twice daily visits to give them their food, clean litter boxes and administer any medicines needed. If your pet has additional needs, I am happy to work together to create a schedule that accommodates them. As a proud cat parent of two very sweet and energetic cats who have a pension for plastic and hair ties, I understand that many of our pets have their own quirks. I will be diligent in ensuring that the little (or big) ones do not get into anything that is not meant for them. And if you enjoy pictures of your pets while on a trip, I will be their personal photographer!

About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.

About: In addition to being a personal trainer, I’m a former dog owner who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I currently offer dog boarding, dog walking, and cat sitting in the Glen Park, Diamond Heights and Bernal Heights areas. I have space available for boarding on weekends or for longer stays—up to 2 weeks. All of my references are reliable and available upon request. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Most of my workday is spent in the Glen Park area, so I’m usually either at home, in the park, or at the studio. Depending on your dog’s temperament, they’ll either be active with me throughout the day or relaxing comfortably at the studio while I train clients. Occasionally, Your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow whatever bedding or crate setup your dog is used to and stick to their regular feeding schedule. I’ll work closely with you to accommodate your dog’s specific needs and temperament, including any routines around exercise, socialization, cleaning, or administering medication. I live in a secure space with an enclosed patio, directly across the street from Glen Canyon Park—an ideal spot for an active, dog-friendly lifestyle. Your dog will be a welcome part of that rhythm while staying with me. When house-sitting, I’m vigilant about home security. Whether it’s bringing in the mail, leaving lights on, or making sure packages aren’t left out—I’m happy to follow your preferences to keep your home looking lived-in and cared for.

“Very helpful! While I was away, Aaron communicated each day how Layla was doing and followed everything to take care of my cat. When I returned, I also noticed he cleaned the area back to the original condition. Very kind! Definitely would book again.”

About: Hello! I’ve been walking and sitting animals for more than a decade, and love making new furry friends. I’ve cared for puppies and older dogs, high-energy and anxious animals. I have a wily, wonderful pug-mix at home who loves a chance to socialize, too. I currently work from home, for myself, so I have room to take on clients in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Weekends and weekdays both work! I approach all new animals with sensitivity and respect for their space and needs. I love getting to know a dog and learning their personality traits, favorite routes, and funny quirks. This helps me get to know what they need, when.

“Martin and Robert were great! They came on time and spent the entire half hour playing with our two pups, sent photo updates and let us know both pups did their business. Will absolutely reach out to them in the near future. Highly recommend!”

About: I have babysat: 1) a medium sized 50 lb hound mix dog for a month at a time every year for 13 years (over the course of its life time from when she was a puppy to death) whose personality was very energetic and anxious. It needed a lot of exercise everyday, stimulated play, and long walks which I happily enjoyed! But she also needed to be watched carefully to ensure she didn’t scare anybody by playfully jumping on them. She would tug a lot during walks and would get excited seeing other dogs but I’ve always managed to calmly steer her away if aggression showed or if the other person or dog she was meeting showed signs of being uncomfortable. This dog always stayed at my place when I babysat her. Made sure she was fed on time twice a day and provided fresh water everyday. 2) two cats at a month at a time for the past 4 years. Stayed at the owner’s place every time. Had to be fed at certain times twice a day, gave them treats throughout the day and attention whenever they requested it. Sometimes I would initiate the contact but if the cats weren’t feeling it, they would communicate it and I would stop. They were indoor cats so I also made sure that any windows that were open were secure and they couldn’t slip through. Had no issues of escaped cats. 3) an energetic 8 year old pomsky and an 18 yr old cat for 10 days. House-sat the owner’s place the entire time where I had to walk the dog 4 times every day at a set schedule and feed them both & provide medication to the cat at set times. The Pomsky was very energetic so also took the time during the afternoon to play with her when she had the zoomies. And have the cat tummy rubs and butt scratches whenever she requested it. 4) a large 50 lb, 2 year old, Old English Sheepdog (named Cura). House-sat & dog-sat Cura for 10 days in Los Angeles, CA. Highly energetic who needed a lot of exercise everyday. Very obedient and could be taken off leash. But I always establish a level of trust and learn the dog’s mannerisms before taking them off leash in the park or around the apartment/house block. Cura also had a tendency to be scared of aggressive dogs or loud noises so I always maintained a level of reassurance and safety with her. Also had to be aware of the high temperatures in LA (given the summer time), hence I’d walk her early in the morning and late at night. 5) a 5 yr old, 25 lb, hound whippet mixed dog named Phoebe - house sat and babysat her for 12 days. Highly anxious who needed to be administered an anxiety pill every morning and needed constant attention and long walks. 6) Hamsters - babysat them for a week at a time for friends whenever they went out of town. Fed and cleaned the box. Would occasionally bring it out of its cage to let it roam around the room in its ball. 7) I have my own pet - a red eared slider turtle who I claim to be my aquatic dog 😉. He is 18 years old and I got him when he was just the size of a quarter. But he gets excited to see me whenever I enter the room and will follow me in the apartment when I let him out to walk around. He can also recognize me out of a group of people! 8) I have a ton of plants that I have grown in the past 6 years - huge monstera (from a 1 foot baby to now a 7 ft giant with 30 inch wide leaves), verraccusum, constellation monstera, cacti, pothos, glorosium, etc. I’m currently unemployed (taking a hiatus from being an accountant in the corporate world) so I have all the time to take care of your pet(s). Available anytime to feed, walk, play, and assist in providing medication. I have a pet turtle that I’ve had for 18 years that I have by a sunny window. But every other day, I’ll let him out in the apartment to walk around and explore (but he will often just follow me around😉). I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs or cats so over the last few years, I’ve always taken care of pets at the owner’s place. Either living at their place or coming to their place at set times to feed and/or walk their pets.

“Punctual and communicative! Sequoia looked after our cat for three days and made sure he was well fed and in a clean environment.”

“Michelle is a treasurer. I am so glad I found her. She looked after my elderly dog Asher and my cat Levi for a week while I was away. I felt very assured that they were both well taken care of. I highly recommend Michelle and I certainly will use her again!”
