Pet Sitting Downtown

About: My sister and I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm experienced with the daily routines that keep pets happy and healthy. From walks, feeding, and playtime to cleaning litter boxes and making sure everyone gets plenty of attention, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive, and I'll care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Whether it's a long walk, drop-in visit, or overnight house sitting, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit for added peace of mind. I'm currently freelancing, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, I'm happy to work around your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it. For every visit, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos and messages, and make sure you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: *I only board dogs from one home at a time* I love to jog around Lake Merritt, and I'd be happy to take your fur baby along for a run! I've cared for dogs and cats, healthy and sick, with very specific dietary restrictions and activity needs. I wish I could have my own pet, but since I travel pretty often, this is the next best thing. :-) I’m a Product Manager with a hybrid work schedule. Rest assured, I can easily get from work to home on in-office days for walks/drop-ins if needed. I also work at a dog friendly office. I am available most days for drop-ins 2x/day. On weekday evenings, I typically go on runs (with/without dogs!). Expect many photos of your fur baby while you're away! I'm happy to drop in to check on food, water, litter (for cats), and take your pup on walks. I am very detail oriented, so if you have very particular instructions regarding diet or preferences while outside, you can trust me to follow them. For boarding, I have bowls for water and food as well as doggy waste bags. You would need to provide their food, treats, toys, (litter for kitties), and anything else to make their stay more comfortable!

“This was my 2nd time booking with Alejandra to check in with my puppy for 30 mins while I was at my office all day. Alejandra is so sweet and caring, my boy MoMo loves her so much! TYSM for taking such good care of him and accommodating all my requests! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to connect with you and your furry family members. I offer loving, attentive in-home dog walking and pet sitting right in the comfort of your pup’s favorite place—their own home! Whether your dog thrives on energetic neighborhood strolls, playful backyard fetch sessions, or just cozy, mindful companionship while you’re away, I tailor every visit to match their natural rhythm and personality. My journey with dogs is rooted in deep care and connection. I’ve had the joy of fostering rescue dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and confident while preparing them for their forever families. I still keep in close touch with their adoptive parents (and love getting their updates and photo check-ins!). I also regularly dog-sit for family, so caring for pups with all kinds of temperaments and needs feels completely natural to me. Because I work part-time, my schedule is wonderfully open and flexible. I have plenty of free time during the day to dedicate to long walks, attentive care, and quality bonding. I’m also available for overnight stays, giving your home a lived-in presence and giving your dog the peace of mind of having a trusted friend nearby through the night. I bring a blend of positive energy, reliable communication, and genuine affection to every visit—because your pet deserves nothing less than complete comfort and joy while you’re away! Because I work part-time, pet care isn’t something I just squeeze into the margins of my day—it’s a intentional, central part of my everyday life. My daily and weekly schedule is wonderfully open and fluid, which gives me the gift of time. I’m able to dedicate slow, unhurried visits to your pets, whether that means taking a mid-day sunshine walk, offering mid-afternoon playtime and cuddles, or staying overnight so your home stays warm and lived-in while you're away. When you welcome me into your home and entrust me with your beloved pets, I treat both with the utmost care, respect, and mindfulness. Having fostered rescue dogs, I know that every animal thrives on feeling safe, understood, and relaxed in their natural element.

“Stephanie did an incredible job watching my cat! She provided lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates every day. She was also super helpful grabbing packages, watering house plants and dealing with an unexpected ant issue. Truly so grateful! I strongly recommend her for any pet care you may require.”

Tig P.

“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”

Vivian T.

“Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”

Hana K.

“So lovely and patient with our nervous German Shepherd. Chloe did a meet and greet before her visits which was a wonderful way for our dog to meet her and made us a lot more comfortable. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

Rachel O.

“Went above and beyond taking care of our babies, looking forward to working with Kevin soon again! So grateful for all all he has done thus far, and additionally isvery impressive with follow ups, app guidance, and punctuality!”

Angelica Y.

“Lia is the best! She takes such good care of my dog and always goes above and beyond. You can tell she really loves what she does, my pup is always so happy to see her. She gives great updates and sends the cutest pics too. Would recommend her to anyone!”

D'Angelo J.

“Cyvanah was so attentive and experienced with our rambunctious (difficult) cat and our shy, timid cat. We appreciated the daily pictures, messages and updates on their daily shenanigans. She was very communicative and when she couldn’t find our shy cat Mina, she made sure to call us to check other hiding spots, which was thoughtful. Would highly recommend Cyvannah to others - you will be in trusted hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all sizes for several years, and I look forward to helping you & your furry family members next! Whether it be 1:1 walks, positive reinforcement training, or simply providing your animal with a companion while you’re away, I’m here to help out! I am able to work from home most days. In fact, I am only in the office one day each week. So, this allows me to have lots of time to host your pet for boarding OR to do check-ins as needed. So, let me know how I can best help out! I am a huge proponent of safety in and around my home. As such, I always make sure the environment is free of choking hazards or items that could get a pet into trouble. I also make sure that I am up to date on preventative cleaning and care for animals.

About: $40 promo code for new Rover bookings. I'm new to Rover, but not new to animal care. I've trained my rescue dog Storm, using positive reinforcement methods, to be my service dog. He has a therapeutic effect on nervous dogs, and has helped socialize many cats to become dog lovers. I've been a part of many dogs training protocols, and am now exploring becoming a trainer myself! Take advantage of my low fees while I build my profile. I keep your little buddies entertained in ways that meet them at their level, whether it's long hikes, lazing in some grass, or playing with toys at home. I'm here to make you and your furry friend feel comfortable. ***Bonus*** you'll get some adorable pet pics whenever they stay in my care! I work from home most days, so I'm available to be a companion to your pet right off the bat! My work breaks are spent playing, training, and giving out treats! We like a house full of enrichment activities, with plenty of time for naps and cuddles in between. I have a 2br apartment that offers plenty of communal or private lounge space. It's been useful for boarding multiple animals, seperating eating as needed, quarantining for medical reasons, or just offering a shy animal their own quiet space. There are steps to my apartment and it's helpful if your dog is comfortable with stairs, or is 15lbs or under and can be carried. I live in a low traffic quiet neighborhood near a lot of parks and pretty outdoor spaces for walks. And there is some great bird and squirrel watching from the balcony doors.

About: Hi there! We’re a married couple with no kids, and dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up in households our whole lives caring for pups of all sizes from energetic German Shepherds, playful Shitzus, and sweet Golden Retrievers! Between Edelis and I, we have over 20 years of experience. After recently moving from LA, we spend our weekends exploring new parks, new neighborhoods, and staying active outdoors around SF. We miss having our own fur babies around, so we’re excited to share our home and plenty of love with yours! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy downtime, your dog will be treated like family ❤️ Our weekdays are structured yet flexible, and our weekends are completely dedicated to pets. Edelis works downtown Tuesday through Friday from 9–5 as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and I work from home a standard 9–5 schedule at a tech company as a Monetization Strategy Manager. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We live in a clean, non-smoking, dog-friendly one-bedroom apartment with a private outdoor patio. Our home is very tidy, pet-safe, and stays comfortable year round with AC and heating. We’re right across from Patricia’s Green dog park and just a 10-minute walk to Alamo Square Park, so daily walks and park time are part of the routine. We also have a car for transportation including any pet emergencies or vet visits if ever needed. Whether we’re caring for dogs in our home or yours, we follow your pup’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep things consistent. We are more than happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy.

About: I‘ve rescued, fostered and placed animals from different species in homes since 11 years ago. It all started with my soul dog who made me get into dog training and ethology. More animals came into my life and continued to taught me how to properly take care for disabled and senior animals who had terminal cancer, seizures, and mobility issues. As well as different species of animals that urgently needed veterinary care and new homes like bearded dragons, turtles, rats, chickens, cows and fish. I‘m surrounded by a community of animal rescuers who have taught me a lot on how to help more animals and educate the public about their needs and challenges. It‘s very important for pet parents to leave their animals at the hands of people who understand that these pets are family members and each of them is unique and deserves to be given the best care and life possible. I‘m currently available most days of the week, and trying to get consistent pups that I can take on adventures with others at least twice a week. I‘m also available for boarding and house sitting. I train tuesdays-fridays at night for an hour. I like to do multiple walks and exercise at selected parks around berkeley and oakland. I live in a 1b-1ba apartment with a big cemented balcony in an apartment building. All my windows and balcony door have a screen. My door goes to a carpeted hallway with other apartments so there‘s no possibility of escaping accidents. I also have a 360 camera at my apartment which I use for monitoring.

About: I have walked over 150 dogs and cared for 3 dogs over the past two months. I am familiar with all breeds large and small. I am happy to work on training during walks for puppies who need a bit more discipline. I love to mix in run and walks for your puppy on my walks. I almost always try to bring your pet to the park for them to enjoy grassy areas and meet other puppies. I love to provide video and photos of our walks. It would be a pleasure to take care of your pet when you’re at work or even away for the long weekend. I am excited to accommodate any needs like refreshing the water bowls or adding food before or after the walk if requested. Thanks for consideration.

“Akiko was extremely responsive and went above and beyond. Our cat clearly loved her too! Akiko exhibited outstanding professionalism and genuine care for our pet. Can’t thank her enough.”

Andrea G.

“I felt comfortable with Stephan taking care of my dog. He was very responsive and loved my dog (which I find to be very important) My puppy also seemed to respond to him well which makes my heart smile Thank you so much Stephan!!”
