House Sitting in Downtown, San Francisco

“Samantha is amazing! We feel so lucky to have found her. We have a brand new, 3 month old golden retriever puppy with tons of energy. She’s not potty trained or crate trained so we were worried about finding a sitter who would be open to caring for her. Samantha brought such a calm and confident presence. Immediately our pup loved her and did so well with her while we were gone for 5 hours! We can’t wait to hire Samantha again.”

“Ashma did an incredible job with our pup while we were getting married! Velma instantly fell in love during our meet and greet so we were already really happy we chose Ashma. We came back home the morning after our wedding to the perkiest pup ever. Velma even ran over to Ashma to snuggle before she left instead of clinging to us! I highly recommend Ashma. She is definitely a dog whisperer!”

“Melina took great care of our pups and cat while we were away! One of our dogs has anxiety, so it was great to see her warm up to Melina fairly quickly during the meet and greet, and she even got her out for some socialization. Already planning to book with her for our future trips!”

“Sukufe took wonderful care of our fur baby. We were visiting San Francisco and staying in a hotel which requires that a human be in the room at all times. She came to our hotel, took our doggie for walks, fed him treats and sat with him while we enjoyed the City. Best yet, she obviously loves dogs and took the time to establish a relationship with the dog and read his movements and mood. She is a dog whisperer :-) Highly recommend her.”

“This review is long overdue! Tobin was a fantastic dog and house sitter. Our pup quickly warmed up to Tobin - adopting him as a new family member! We loved receiving regular updates and photos from Tobin. Plus, it was great knowing our home and hound were in secure hands. 1 million stars!”

“We are so grateful to have found Maggie! She is experienced with pups of all types (and behavioral tendencies), is responsive, and clearly takes care of our senior lady Ginger like her own. Ginger is always excited to see her and is calm and happy upon our return — all great signs. We would highly recommend Maggie if you’re looking for a sitter.”

“Where do I start? Brooke exceeded every expectation on house sitting our pup Peyton. A little background - our 25 lb schnoodle is a rescue dog from Taiwan. He is relatively well behaved but has clearly had trauma in his past that required behavioral therapy. We have done the best we can to give him a happy life. While we love him more than anything, there are approximately 5 people in the world who can actually pet him. He is unable to be leashed by anyone but these 5 people and not only gets anxious when people try, but has actually shown signs of aggression. We thought it would be impossible to ever leave Peyton, but with an upcoming family trip to Hawaii, there was nobody left to watch him. Along comes Brooke who was empathetic to his history and patient beyond words. She gave him the space he needed but also made sure his basic needs were cared for. She was extraordinarily communicative and sent many videos daily to reassure us on how he was doing. Peyton finally came around to Brooke where she was able to feed him, walk him, have him off leash at the dog park, and even pet him! In 5 years, we have never had the courage to leave anyone with Peyton - both for Peyton's sake as well as the safety of who was watching him. Brooke invigorated our confidence and she is officially person #6 who he can now call a friend. In addition to her dedicated care toward Peyton, she kept our house so clean! She took out our trash on trash day and also kept our house tidy for when we returned home. There is no question that plan on using Brooke in the future both for regular walks and short term house sitting.”

“Irisa has helped me watch my two dogs multiple times over the years. She's responsible and very detail oriented. Sometimes it's just been for a couple hours and other times it'll be over the span of a couple days if we're out of town. I will go over with her our dog's schedule and she is very attentive. We've never had issues with Irisa watching our dog and she'll even send photos and videos of them playing or after a walk/hike. Highly recommended”

“Anita went above and beyond on a recent 10 day stay with my energetic cattle dog Charlie. She is a great communicator and takes my dog on very long walks as often as her schedule permits. She seems to understand Charlie’s special needs :-) She also left the house as clean or cleaner than when she arrived. Thanks again Anita!”

“Tamiya was awesome. She dogsat our pup at our place over a long weekend and kept us updated the whole time. It’s easy to see that she has a good demeanor with dogs because he was very clearly well-taken care. Thanks so much!”

“Rhiannon and Alex were great dog sitters. My dog is anxious when around new people, but she immediately warmed up to them and got comfortable and they watched her for several hours with no incident. And as an added bonus I got a beautiful watercolor portrait of my dog to keep forever!”

“Lionel is a senior cat with chronic kidney disease. He’s quite sick, and FarHan is wonderful and so gentle with him. He took all Lionel’s health changes in stride, including last minute adding an antibiotic onto his already hefty med routine. FarHan really cares about Lionel, and he’s very creative and persistent to make sure he gets the meds and care he needs. He’s also just a very kind person and went well above and beyond. He washed and folded my laundry (?), cleaned the house spotlessly (truly shocking given the cat’s issues), and even left me a delicious meal in the freezer. I appreciate FarHan so much and was happy to make the switch from TrustedHousesitters to Rover because I know he’s exactly who my old man Lionel cat needs. I strongly recommend FarHan.”

“Highly recommend! Dimitri was attentive and communicative from the start. He stayed at our place for 2 weeks to care for our dog and looked after our place. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our dog was in good hands. Would definitely book Dimitri again!”

“Christina is the best! She takes fantastic care of our animals and our house, and we love having her sit our dog and cats. We've booked her a bunch of times and will continue to do so, as she's totally worth it and a wonderful sitter.”

“I cannot recommend Catrena enough. She took exceptional care of our animals and home while we were out of state this summer. Her friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease and it's evident that she genuinely loves animals and ours also adore her. We will undoubtedly book with Catrena again.”

“Kathya was incredible! She took such great care of our energetic puppy, I would highly recommend her to others.”

“Charlotte was amazing with Nala and took such great care of her! She also made scheduling a breeze, took wonderful care of the apartment, and is very kind! Thank you!”

“Shea took great care of our puppy and was very accommodating! Bertie will definitely sleep well tonight after a full day of fun :) Would absolutely re-book!”

“Camila is the most amazing dog sitter! My dachshund absolutely loves her and always gets the best exercise when Camila is around. They have such a bond and it's awesome to see. I feel so comfortable knowing I can leave my pup behind in such good hands. She's such a sweet and caring girl, and always leaves my space immaculate and better than she found it! I'm so grateful to have Camila to care for my pup!”

“Kaleigh was great. She took excellent care of our three, spoiled dogs (no small job) and she was very respectful of my home as well. Many of my neighbors commented that they saw her out with all three dogs and she was there more than enough to satisfy their need for attention! She was very well organized and great about communicating with us. We will definitely use her again.”
