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.
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my elderly, diabetic cat. Even though she had not given insulin injections to a cat before, she was willing to learn. She stayed with him and kept him company and provided regular reports on his status. I was very happy with her cat-sitting and would definitely consider having her take care of my cat again.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Maria was a wonderful petsitter for our senior dog, Heath. She took great care of him, and he was happy and healthy when we got back, which is what we care about most. We also really appreciated how she looked after our house, leaving it neat and exactly as we left it. Since we were out of cell service, Maria had to switch between our Garmin InReach, a messaging app, and regular cell service to send us updates. She managed all of this perfectly and we really appreciated her keeping us informed. Maria was a pleasure to work with, and we would be happy to have her back in the future.”

“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 wonderful!! She took great care of Nala and was very attentive and attuned to her needs and triggers. She also took great care of the apartment and was very professional and easy to communicate with. Thank you!!”

“Julia is 10/10 !!! She was professional, punctual, responsive and kind. She sent us photos and updates of our pup and kept our home looking better than the way we left it. Would highly recommend and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Strongly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Linda provided us with daily updates and bonded immediately with both of our cats. One of our kitties can be a bit shy, but she warmed up to Linda right away! Thank you so much Linda!”

“Mystic was wonderful! All of my (detailed) instructions were read ahead of our meet and greet, giving me confidence that my pup would have a great stay. During the stay, I received regular updates and pic/videos to let me know how she was doing. Mystic was incredibly flexible with both drop off and pickup and worked with me when my plane was delayed by several hours. When I came home, I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for.”

“Needed a pet sitter for one night in San Francisco and luckily found Joe. He was very trustworthy and listened to all our needs for our pets. Also very good at communicating and sending pics and vids of our two girls. Would recommend Joe to anyone looking for care for your pets!”


“Shai is the BEST!! Truly the best Rover we have ever had. My dog takes awhile to warm up to people generally but loved her the moment he saw her and CRIES when she leaves the house (which he doesn’t even do for us!!). We are so grateful we found her!”

“We had a great experience with him as both a house and dog sitter. He was very responsive and communicative, followed all instructions carefully, and took excellent care of both our dogs and our home. He took the dogs on long walks, played with them regularly, and clearly formed a bond with them. Our younger dog even kept cuddling up on the bed where he slept for several days after we returned. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, a clean house, and everything in great shape. I would absolutely recommend him and would book him again.”

“Alexandra was an amazing cat sitter! She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of pictures, and stayed in touch the entire time. My cat was happy and well cared for, and the house was left spotless. Highly recommend her!”


“Elisa did an AMAZING job. She was flexible with our schedule and kept our fur baby safe walking around downtown. We are so grateful we found such a great sitter. Our dog absolutely loved her. He didn't even seem to mind when we left. If we're ever back in San Francisco we will definitely use Elisa again”

Melody was great! Immediately focused all her attention to loving our 2 pups. They both have their individual needs and she saw to them both equally! She was attentive to our systems at home, kept our space neat and orderly after she was done, and ultimately created a great space for our 2 dogs and cat! Very grateful

Michael was great and helped me with housesitting my kitty. He was very communicative and sent me daily updates with lots of videos and photos of Carrot which I really appreciated, being a worried cat mom. He was super with her and she clearly enjoyed her time with him which was evident from the videos/photos. He is also trustworthy and very thoughtful and my place was cleaner when I got home than how I left it. I highly recommend Michael.
