“Amazing is all I can say. Very personable, and easy to work with. Absolutely great with our pup, and swore her out on their walks. Um sure she will miss her walks with David. I can not recommend David nore!”

About: I had a dog growing up as a child and have taken care of my friends dogs numerous times. I also volunteer at the SFSPCA and play/walk with all the pups there. I currently have two lovely cats and hope to adopt a dog again once I have a home with outdoor space! I am currently taking a career break from the corporate life to explore my passions and see what may inspire me in the future. Therefore, I have plenty of time to take care of your babies 😊 My cats are strictly indoor only as I feel this is the safest way to take care of cats (especially in a city). I do take my cats out on a leash at the park occasionally for outdoor time. I think it’s important for all cats to get playtime on a daily basis, snuggles (if they like that), and of course their feeding/hygiene routine. I brush my cats every 2 days. I am equipped to adapt to your cats routines.
“Thank you Olesia for watching our boys! You were absolutely amazing!!! You kept is updated with photos and messages and followed all our instructions perfectly. I know our high energy puppy is a lot of work! Thank you again.”

“Margaux is incredibly reliable and treats my dogs with care and patience. My pups always come home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands.”
About: I have been lucky enough to grow up with a family that loved animals and a household full of pets. We had chicken running around our backyard, ducks and quail. We had a cat, Named Kat, who was afraid of the chicken. Somehow always had a pair of parakeets that had the same names, Jasmine & Lightning (don’t ask!). My grandparents had a little farm , so every summer when we would visit, we would drive to the country side and spend a few days there. In June of 2021, I was blessed with 2 beautiful daughters; My cats Penny & Wini who are the actual loves of my life (My husband knows and understands) and they are the most amazing, most perfect thing that ever happened to me. Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime with any questions and I like to try to respond almost as soon as possible if not immediately Looking forward to make even more furry friends in this beautiful city! If you wish to expedite the booking process, please include the following in your message: 1) Location 2) Normal walking/feeding/play routine (length, time of day, etc) 3) Medical/special needs 4) Any aggression issues towards certain people/animals 5) Any additional info I look forward to meeting your furry friends! *Overnight Pricing: For overnight stays, the listed price includes a morning/early evening walk and a potty break before bed (and, of course, snuggles and attention while I am staying inside a home). Any additional walks/special needs may incur an additional charge. **Camera Policy: I had an experience where a client did not inform me of a camera hidden in their bedroom and I was recorded in various states of undress during a stay. As such, in order to protect my privacy, I reserve the right to disable any undisclosed cameras and, in extreme cases, cancel a stay. Please feel free to let me know if any clarification is needed regarding this policy. I’m currently wfh part-time and on summer break from school. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend a lot of time with the pets and not be away for more than a few hours if need be. I Follow exact care instructions and all boundaries. I keep pets on the same schedule and routine so they dont go through more change than needed.
About: I am a responsible, experienced dog/cat owner-lover and will treat yours like my own. I was raised in a family that had dogs including 3 dachshunds, a mutt, and a chow over the years. As an adult I have been the loving pet parent to three adult cats consecutively. Very comfortable around cats and dogs. Available for dog-walking, cat/dog drop-in's, and daytime extended stay drop-in's / house-sitting (no overnights). I have worked remotely for over ten years so have a very flexible schedule. Walking your dog or visiting your cat would be a pleasure and a chance for some fresh air and exercise. I do this for supplemental income during my free time and the opportunity to visit different neighborhoods. I am available daytime hours, not overnight (mid-morning til before sunset). I will give your cat or dog as much or little attention in your home as you (or they!) specify. Reliable, trustworthy. Not able to care for your pets at my home.
About: I’m a 42-year-old gay dog lover who recently said goodbye to my own pup after 13 incredible years together. Caring for my dog has always been one of the best parts of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know every breed, quirk, zoomie level, and cuddle style out there. Pet care has been part of my daily routine for years. I recently lost my dog after 13 wonderful years together, and before that we took at least three walks a day — everything from quick neighborhood strolls to longer adventures exploring different parts of San Francisco together. I genuinely miss having a little shadow by my side, so caring for and walking dogs still feels like a natural and meaningful part of my everyday life. I love getting to know each dog’s personality, energy, and favorite routines. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and theirs. I follow each dog’s routine closely — including walks, feeding, medications, playtime, and cuddle preferences — while giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and calm energy. I also love sending photo updates so owners know their pups are happy and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed , play and snuggle with their pets. I’m currently working part-time so, time is flexible. I will have a plenty of time to hang out with your pets. I’m available for week day and on weekends also. I will set my available time on my schedule. I always try to follow the consistent routine. My own cats have set time for meal and play. I bring the same structure and attentiveness to every pets I care for.
About: While I haven’t worked professionally as a dog sitter for many years, I grew up with dogs and have been around them for most of my life. Caring for our family dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to learn their routines and preferences to provide the best care possible. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure and happy. Whether caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I will follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they receive the same level of care I would give my own pets. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I love dogs and have a cockapoo of my own called Ah Chu. I have been taking care of him for over a year since he was a puppy. I will treat your baby like mine. My schedule is flexible so feel free to let me know when and how I can help in advance or on the same day. Meet and greet will help me to understand how to best care for your baby. For drop in visits, we will arrange meet and greet first to understand how your baby would like to play, frequency to go potty, number of snack breaks, or any other needs. I will follow the instructions strictly and provide updates.
“Charles was fabulous with Sierra. We will definitely use him again when we travel to San Francisco. He was friendly and welcoming, especially given Sierra had not met him before and she can get anxious.”

“Shannon was great with Gus! He was always on time, accommodated for the rain and took him on a long 60 minute walk. Gus was excited to see him everyday. Shannon was very responsive and easy to work with!”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Femke is absolutely amazing! Even from just our meet-and-greet, I can tell that Femke truly cares about my dog and wants to understand his behaviors and preferences. She has walked my dog twice so far, and I will most definitely continue to book with her. She provides detailed updates and lots of photos after the walks, and my dog has never looked happier!
