Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Excelsior

“Joey was fantastic with our three month old puppy! We are new puppy parents and both nurses so we work long shifts. This was our first time leaving our new puppy home while we both worked a 12 hour shift. She came 3 times, for an hour each time and provided tons of updates. She reinforced training we’ve been working on and made us feel so comfortable leaving him! Will definitely be rebooking again with Joey!”

“A saving grace! I needed last minute (literally a few hours before) help to exercise Goose. Andrea was reliable, prompt, and gave ample updates. Thank you for making my day a little less crazy.”

“Shai did an amazing job sitting our disabled, elderly kitty! She followed our routine and Fiona loved her. Fiona doesn't love many people. Shai communicated well and send pics. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: I am a responsible, dependable animal lover who has cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rabbits in the past. I can provide any support needed, including walking and hiking, feeding, play time, grooming, bathroom clean-up, and providing medication, if needed. I have worked as a dog walker and sitter for a company in Marin County, volunteered for two years at Wildcare, and currently volunteer and foster with NorSled Husky Rescue. I'm a part-time adjunct professor at SJSU in Environmental Studies and am only on campus on Tuesdays. My schedule is flexible the rest of the week. As a previous dog, cat, and small animal owner, I am comfortable caring for your animal using whatever instructions you provide. Setting up a time to meet beforehand to go over the details and so that you and your pet can get to know me is important, too.

“Another fantastic/seamless experience with Kevin. So glad to have found him. My little old boy is very special and it’s really difficult to leave him alone. Kevin puts me at ease and allows me travel when I need to without worrying about my boy Sebastian. Thanks again, Kevin!”

About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.

“Jeremy was wonderful! He was responsive, trustworthy, and patient with my quirky dog.”

About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

I provide personalized attention, whether it’s playful training for energetic puppies, gentle care for senior pets, or daily routines that keep your furry friends happy and healthy. I create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment, treating each pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Your pets will not only be cared for, but truly cherished!! I truly love spending time with pets of all kinds, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your furry family is in caring hands!💕 I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all pets, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care, whether at my home or theirs 💗

About: Hi! I’m Sully, a Mission local and your pet’s new Cool Auntie. I’ll be the one to makes sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and a little spoiled. 😌🐾 I’m not a pop in and leave sitter. I’m going to be the auntie who learns your pet’s vibe and make each visit feel more familiar and comforting. I’m also a proud cat mom to three big personalities (bratty tortie, black cat chaos, and a bipolar Siamese rescue), so I’m patient, confident, and pretty good at winning over even the toughest little divas. I’ve been pet sitting since my early 20s, starting with my family’s pets and friends’ pets (their friends as well), and over the years I’ve built real relationships with so many of them. I’m now the go-to sitter they call when they travel, which means I regularly get to see my extended fur nieces and nephews 🥰 and keep their routines consistent while their parents are away. During drop-ins, I’ll follow your routine closely. Fresh food & water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and photo updates so you can actually relax. I’m looking for long-term fur friendships even if it’s just a regular monthly visit or being your go-to auntie sitter when travel pops up. P.S. These photos are a little candid, not so perfect pictures 😂 I never expected I’d be uploading them someday! But they’re some of my happy fur nieces and nephews I’ve grown close with over the years, from quick potty breaks and treat runs to vet visits and everything in between. I am a full-time case manager for a local nonprofit, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM. So I’m your go-to for evening and weekend care! I’m available for drop-ins: • Weeknights: 6:30 PM–11:00 PM • Weekends: 7:00 AM–11:00 PM As your pet’s “cool auntie,” I’ll always respect your home and your routine. I follow a shoes-off rule (like I do at home), keep things tidy, and I’ll stick to your instructions for food, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and medications (limited). If you’re comfortable with it, I also love bringing a small “peace offering” for the first visit like a toy or an approved treat to help build trust and make our first meet feel positive. If your pet has allergies or a preferred snack, just let me know. My goal is for your pet to recognize my footsteps like, “oh! my auntie’s here.”

“Lydia is fantastic and the most amazing support and Cat auntie we have ever had. My cat absolutely adores her and Lydia has been extremely flexible and accommodating and helpful when I had a real emergency. She also shows exceptional initiative and has been taken care not only of our cat, but also has kindly helped to take care of our home without even being asked when there was unforeseen issues while I was away. We trust her immensely and are grateful that she has been available to come back for our cat over and over again.”

“Alejandro was great with Ginger! He was patient with her being shy and took the time for her to warm up to him. Great communicator and 100% on-time.”

“Ivonne is our go-to cat sitter and we always know we're leaving our babies in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’m Tram, and I’ve been loving and caring for dogs for nearly 3 decades. With 29 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and quirks—from playful puppies to wise seniors. Animals aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a cozy cuddle session, or specialized care, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love creating a safe, happy space for animals to thrive. Whether you’re traveling or just need a helping hand, I’ll treat your furry companion like one of my own—with lots of love, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag together! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive to your pet throughout the day. My typical routine includes a morning walk or play session, regular potty breaks, and lots of cuddle or enrichment time in between. I take breaks often, so your dog will never be alone for long. I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra walks, medication, or just companionship. Your pet will have a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away! Your dog will be cared for like family in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a gated backyard with plenty of space for them to roam, play, and soak up the sunshine. If your pup is crate-trained or you prefer they have a crate for rest time, I can absolutely accommodate that. I also live near McLaren Park, which means your dog will enjoy scenic walks, fresh air, and lots of opportunities to sniff and explore! Whether your pup needs quiet companionship or high-energy play, I tailor the day to their personality and needs. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: In January I started fostering a small dog named Mei Mei — and I can't get enough. We've been going on sniff adventures at McLaren Park, getting her exposed to new people, places, and experiences, and honestly she's made me wonder why I waited so long. I'd always been a cat lady, a little nervous about the responsibility a dog would bring. Mei Mei changed all of that. With a little patience and a lot of boiled chicken, she's adjusted beautifully with Jaggs, my resident cat — and watching them learn to share space and actually get along is one of my proudest moments. Mei Mei and I have been exploring McLaren Park together and we're ready to bring more dogs along for the ride. That's exactly how the Tiny Explorers Club was born — small and medium dogs, big adventures, and all the sniffs McLaren Park has to offer. Beyond adventures, I also offer boarding at my home, drop-in check-ins with walks and photo updates, and house sitting — whether you need someone to pop in or stay overnight, I've got you covered. Your pet's routine stays intact and you'll always know how they're doing. Small or medium, your dog has a standing invitation. 🐾 I have a lot of flexibility and I genuinely love getting out to McLaren Park, so walks and adventures aren't something I fit in between other things. They're the thing. If your dog is with me, we're going outside. If your cat needs a check-in, I'm there. No rushing, no squeezing pets in between a packed calendar. Every pet that comes through my door gets treated like family — but their family, not mine. That means I stick to their routine, their feeding schedule, their quirks. I'm not here to change how they do things, I'm here to make sure they barely notice you're gone. For dogs, that means real outdoor time — we're talking McLaren Park walks, fresh air, and proper adventures. Not just a quick trip to the backyard. My house has a yard for downtime between walks and a calm, cozy environment to decompress. For cats, I keep everything consistent — feeding times, litter, their favorite spots. Cats notice every little change and I respect that. You'll get regular photo updates throughout the day so you can actually relax while you're away. No news is good news, but I'll send news anyway.

“Another great booking with Hui-Min! I really do appreciate the multiple pictures that she sent when doing a home visit with my two cats. I highly recommend booking with Hui-Min. She’s very communicative, professional, and trustworthy. Thanks Hui-Min for checking in on my girls.”

About: Hi! I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) working full-time in a veterinary clinic here in San Francisco. I bring medical knowledge, professionalism, and calm handling skills to every visit — while still keeping things relaxed and enjoyable for your pet. I specialize in caring for well-adjusted adult dogs and cats who thrive with consistency and gentle attention. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in care, or overnight companionship, I provide dependable, attentive service with strong communication so you always know how things are going. As an RVT, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injections such as insulin if needed) and monitoring for any subtle health changes. While I’m happy to support pets with medical needs, I focus on stable, easygoing patients rather than complex behavioral cases. I currently serve the Mission District, Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, and surrounding San Francisco neighborhoods, and I’m open to traveling toward Pacific Heights when schedules allow. I work full-time as a Registered Veterinary Technician in San Francisco and have four 10-hour shifts (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7am–6:30pm). Because of this, I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable with a predictable routine and don’t require midday weekday visits on those days. I’m typically available for: • Morning visits before work • Evening walks and drop-ins after 6:45pm • Overnight care • Full availability on Tuesdays, weekends, and many holidays When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away. I’m also attentive to subtle changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. As a Registered Veterinary Technician working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, or injections if needed) and caring for senior pets. I keep visits calm, structured, and positive so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and leave things clean and tidy.
