“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Giselle took wonderful care of Nala! I felt very comfortable leaving Nala in her care and knew she was in great hands. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and took great care of the apartment as well. Thank you!”

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

“Marshai always does such an awesome job with my boy, Charlie. He’s so relaxed with her (which makes me relaxed), he doesn’t even notice me leaving! 100% as always, thank you!!”

“Raquel was incredible and SO helpful. Our boys had the best time with her and she sent great video and photo updates of them. She was also super helpful when it came to a weird situation with our neighbor. We will absolutely book with her again!”

“Booked Fiona for a short and very last minute trip. Fiona was easy to communicate with and very flexible. My dogs LOVED her! She sent messages and pics and I knew the dogs were happy. Would definitely book her again!”


About: I grew up with a rescue pit bull and three rescue cats, which taught me early on how to provide gentle and compassionate care. In addition to that I've been doing professional animal visits for the last 4 years across multiple platforms, and have been loving the opportunity to meet all of these wonderful animals and families. I personally do very well with anxious or reactive animals, which need a more gentle presence around them. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or health concerns, I’m more than happy to discuss them with you. I’ll always take the time to learn what needs to be done and follow your preferred approach to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. I am committed to providing a loving home and continuing any training or scheduling already established. My goal is to make you and your pets experience as seamless as possible! This upcoming semester, Fall 2026, I currently have two openings for a weekly walker or drop-in visit routine, I'm available Monday-Wednesday 9:30am-11am, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons between 4:00pm-6:00pm. I will also be available for drop-in visits or as needed walks, so please feel free to reach out.

I will also be available for drop-in visits or as needed walks, so please feel free to reach out. I work from home in the Mission/Excelsior region, and go to school at CCSF, so I have a fairly flexible weekday schedule outside of Wednesdays and can often accommodate short-notice bookings. However, since I rely on public transit, I’m currently limiting services to locations within about a 30-minute bus ride from Balboa Park. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I aim to create a calm, comforting environment that helps your pet feel safe and cared for while you're away. I always follow the care instructions you provide closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime routines. Above all, I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Quincy house sat for 2 nights and took such good care of our pup! Not to mention he was excellent communicator, responding to messages super quickly so we felt completely at ease away on our trip. Looking forward to booking him again, couldn’t recommend him more!”

“Loretta is awesome! We've had her dog sit for us twice now. She's very conscientious and tries really hard to get everything right and follow all of the directions. I really appreciate her attention to details when caring for our challenging dog! Highly recommend Loretta!”

“Laura was amazing! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip, which gave me so much peace of mind—especially since I’m a very anxious pet owner. She was always quick to respond and made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so thankful for her and can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Timothy was excellent with our high-maintenance, reactive border collie & our two cats. They followed instructions & the animals all seemed relaxed & happy upon our return. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! One of my cats has been having some urinary tract issues and needed medication every 8 hours and she took incredible care of him. I would definitely hire her again and I HIGHLY recommend her! She was extremely respectful of our home and our cats absolutely loved her!”

“I am SO lucky to have found Noelia to watch my beloved Theo while I was out of town for a bachelorette trip last weekend! She came over a few days before I left for a meet and greet/information session and Theo practically melted into her lap. While I was gone, she sent updates on how he was eating (he can be an anxious guy) and photos and videos of their neighborhood adventures together which was super adorable and so heartwarming. For my first time using rover AND having somebody new stay in my apartment with my 11lb pride and joy, I couldn’t have made a better choice with Noelia. I will be reaching out for her care again!! 🫶🏻🐾”

“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”


“Joao did such an amazing job with our cat Sterling. He was very friendly and sent us updates often, which I appreciate. He truly loves animals and I could tell that sterling was happy when we got home and well cared for. I would definitely hire him again!”

Fiona is attentive and very responsible. She left our home in great condition and even went above and beyond to remake the guest bed and empty the dishwasher so we came home from travel to a tidy place. She takes great care of our cat Miso and is wonderful at keeping her company so she doesn’t get lonely!

I truly have no words. Akiko was super responsive and took everything I said to the chest. I have never met someone who really took the time to meet and form a bond with Hans. Hans is a somewhat difficult dog when meeting new people but warms up eventually. He ended up loving his time with her! High recommend :)

Jess is amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and competent. She asked all the right questions and sent regular updates. I was very nervous about leaving my geriatric dog, but it was clear he was in good hands, which reduced my stress significantly! She even left the house sparkling clean. I highly recommend her!

Jenn is great with our dogs! We have two Frenchies that are quirky and just need special attention. She is flexible and always super attentive to them. She always gives us timely updates and photos which makes me feel comfortable when we are out of town. I plan to book her again!

Maggie is the best with our 1 year old lab Stevie. She is incredibly attentive and sends frequent updates on their activities- including trips to the park, riding on the bus (which Stevie is usually scared to get on!) and walks around the neighborhood. Our dog Stevie loves Maggie, and Maggie is very experienced on all things dogs- including dealing with Stevie during her heat! We are so grateful to have a sitter like Maggie when we travel, and we know Stevie has the a great time with her!
