About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work at a school, so I’m available on weekends for pet walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. With summer approaching, my schedule will be much more open. Please feel free to refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it up to date. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care by following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I have over a year of experience caring for pets and offer pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care. During drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and care they need. For pet sitting, I provide a calm, safe environment in your home while being respectful of your space. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I live with an active Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with dogs who need more than a short loop around the block. I’m comfortable with strong walkers, high-energy dogs, and dogs who benefit from structure and consistency. I also grew up with a Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel so my experience truly spans the gamut. I build my days around dogs and walking. I’m out with my own dog every day and keep a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of room for weekday walks. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can be dependable, unhurried, and consistent with the dogs I care for. Recurring weekday walks are especially welcome. I treat every dog and home with the same care I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely, double-check doors, gates, leashes and harnesses before heading out, and never leave a dog unattended outside. I take time to learn each dog’s temperament, triggers and walking habits, and I’m thoughtful about interactions with other dogs and people. In your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep communication clear, including photos and an update after every walk.

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.

“Aileen was confident since the first moment and attracted Kali with a smart and calm playful way. I am secure to have Aileen on my vacation and she is ready to be helpful and reliefing. Aileen took extra time to make sure everything is understood and meet us on personal level. Thank you for your help”

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.

“Monica did a great job looking after our 2 fur babies while we were away. Good clear communication through out the whole process. Will be using again!!”

“Tommy has been such a great sitter. He really cares so much about our babies and went out of his way for us everytime I'm so happy with Tommy I could not have asked for a better person. He is very convenient and is willing to help us in any way. The best dog sitter ever!”

About: Hello! My name is Lyzbeth but you can call me Liz. I am currently a mom of a seven year old and a 17 year old, who live in San Francisco. We love taking care of animals and having them as part of our family. I have over 15 years of experience pet sitting. We always take the dogs with us to the near by parks where we live (currently live close to Balboa Park, John McLaren Park and San Bruno Park). I do daily check-ins with photos and updates of what we have been doing with your pet. We treat them as part of our family. :) We would like to adopt a husky breed one day. I currently am usually always at home. (Work from home) I am happy to be available and ready for pet sitting, house sitting or pet walks. I am willing to travel. Early morning walks; lunch walks; and, evening walks is the usual routine during the week stays. Weekend stays get longer trips to nearby parks and hikes for those longer overnight stays (if allowed). I will always check in with you first for anything not part of your pet's routine. Whether your pet comes to my home or I go to your home I follow all the rules and schedules in place of your pet. I try to keep things the same to keep the pet happy and less anxious during my care.

About: Hello! I have trained a service dog through Guide Dogs for the Blind, so I’m an experienced trainer, care-taker, and socializer. I’m capable of walking several dogs at a time or one dog to keep my focus on them. I could help with building basic commands, behaviors, and habits within your pet or we could just have a fun time walking and playing fetch in the park. What you and your pet need is what I can provide. I have been a pet owner my entire life, so I have years of experience in handling injuries and medications in case of an emergency situation. I’ve worked with many types of breeds and personalities, small to large! I am currently working at a school which means I’ll be available to sit for you during long weekends, Holliday breaks, weekends, and after school hours! I have a spacious fenced yard your pet is more than welcomed to spend as much time as they would like in and also will get loads of cuddle inside as well. I also live pretty nearby Crocker park where endless walks and adventures can be had

“Mariana was a great cat sitter! She took good care of Carmen and tried to play with her a few times even though Carmen is a little shy and nervous around new people.”

About: I've given much love and many cuddles to cats and dogs for 4 decades! I grew up with two chocolate labs in the midwest. I helped train them as puppies, swam with them in the summer, and played fetch in foot-high snow drifts in the winter. While I don't have any dogs now, I frequently walk my friend's wolf-esque husky mutt around the Mission and a lab/whippet mix in Golden Gate park. I have experience with stubborn dogs and I am attentive and fully-engaged while walking. I keep my eyes peeled to avoid "SF street snacks" and am careful that dog/human interactions are appropriate based on what your dog needs and the vibe of other folks walking pets. My schedule is very flexible. Weekday walks or pet-sitting is preferred but I am open to work with you on special occasion weekend needs. I will care for your pets in your home, following instructions carefully and making sure your pet's routine stays comfortable and familiar. I am attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet cuddles. I provide updates as needed so for your comfort and peace of mind.

“Ada was on time and came over to help give fluids to my cat. She’s very sweet and competent. I’d definitely let her care for my cat with complex medication needs again”

About: While we have all heard of “crazy cat ladies”, I’ve always wanted to become a “crazy dog lady” myself 🤭 I am always the dog walker and dog sitter amongst my friend’s and family’s pets. Because of my attentiveness, cleanliness and caring nature - I will provide your pet the utmost care as well! FREE BATH for your baby! (Stay for 5 nights+) I will be using BUDDY WASH 2-IN-1 DOG SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER FOR DOG GROOMING, LAVENDER & MINT. Let me know if your pet has any allergies, if so, please provide the shampoo you’d like to be used instead 😊 PHOTO/VIDEO UPDATES at the end of the night to let you pawparents know how much fun they’re having on their vacation here at auntie K’s while you guys are on your vacation! 📸🤗 I am home daily so I am blessed to take care of dogs full time! Which also means, plenty of play time ☺️ I can also teach puppies basic tricks like: (SIT, LAY DOWN, STAY) which will be rewarded with treats after every successful attempt until they got the trick down completely 🥳 I have a fenced yard and a large backyard for your pet(s) to run around and sun bathe. Though I personally do not like to crate dogs as I believe in allowing them to run around and playing freely, the parents’ preferences are my priority. I usually take them out on leashed walks twice a day for 15-30 minute walks and sometimes 3x/day as the days become longer and the weather gets warmer. Please let me know if you don’t want them to interact with other dogs during their walks!

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