About: Growing up with pets has taught me a lot. Ive helped many friends with their pets for a long time and enjoy doing it! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own that I care about and love deeply. I great at following instructions. Keeping up with routine, giving meds on time and I am good at communicating with families and reporting issues to pet owners and making sure they feel comfortable with leaving their pets in my care. I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon during the mornings I have free time to take care of your pets and take them on walks and do drop in visits. I will always follow a routine and if there’s a problem with the routine or with your pet I will communicate to you to make sure everything is fine and to find the solution to the problem I have no problem with updating and sending pictures as much as you’d like so you can know your pet is safe with me.

“Will be booking again! She asked thorough questions during our meet and greet. She was easy to communicate with and reliable. Thanks for taking care of Bleu!”

About: I bring both hands-on experience as a pet owner and professional knowledge as an ISCDT-certified dog trainer. I understand reactivity, subtle behavioral cues, and the importance of respecting each dog’s unique personality and boundaries. I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while providing attentive, tailored care to give you peace of mind. I currently have flexible daily availability. I can be accommodating to your schedule and ensure that I provide the dedicated care and time to your pet. When I visit with your pet, I always make sure to give them time to adjust to my presence. I will approach them however you advise me to and be respectful of that!

“Michelle was wonderful to work with, as well as my dog now considers her his fun-auntie. She communicated well, was timely, and friendly. Additionally, on another occasion when she watched my dog at her home, she was able to train him to be calm around cats! A miracle patience fairy kind and caring to all sorts of beings. Highly recommend her services!”

“Did great with the pups!!”

About: I have a large enclosed sunny backyard large enough for your doggie to run around. I live near many nice parks and trails and I'd love to walk your dog in nature, or take him to dog parks for a sniffing session. If you prefer your dog to stay only indoors and use the backyard only, that's fine too. I especially know how to take care of older dogs which I love, as I was a very attentive and loving caregiver to my own 14 y.o. rescue Cavalier King Charles until 2 months ago. I miss him a lot and I am looking forward to doting to your baby with all the extra love I got to spare! I use the Italian mom approach to care and attention: eat right, be where I can see you, exercise, sleep well and yes, everyone is allowed on the bed! Same for cats: I had cats all my life, often more than one at a time, and I have a special affinity with them. Even the persnickety ones let me pet them 😸 I am currently working from home, so your dog / cat's company is very welcome! Always ready for cuddles and distractions! I can take your dog for daily walks in the the upper Noe Valley/Glen Park neighborhood, or to the beach when time and weather allow it. I live in a house with a big backyard and your dog is allowed on bed and couch if it's ok with you. I can administer meds if needed. I will keep your dog close to me at all times. My dog was reactive and I am particular attentive in monitoring interactions and encounters with other dogs. I use only pet safe cleaning products. In case of cats, I would be extra careful to keep them indoor unless otherwise instructed.

“Dena was great with Wally. He liked her immediately and I trust his instincts. She followed my instructions to a T and was conscientious of the heat and came early for walks when it was too hot out in the afternoon. He can be stubborn but she worked with him and was patient. Thanks Dena!”

“Mick was great. He came through for me after my initial sitter cancelled last minute. This was my first time using Rover, and Mick made it a smooth, easy process.”

“Would highly highly recommend Joey. She is super responsive, caring, reliable, detail oriented, and was just overall great with our pups Mozie. She exercised him well every day and took great care of him. She also sent such cute pics every day she took him on a walk, and was detailed in her updates. We loved Joey and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets from rats to cats to spiders and one rehabbed squirrel. I am a huge animal lover and I’m the top choice when my friends ever need a pet sitter because I’m so in love with their pets and love to go above and beyond when taking care of them. That means you absolutely don’t need to worry about them getting enough attention and love because they will get LOADS I hav experience taking care of senior pets and special needs pets and I do my best to really establish a trusting relationship so they know when I’m around everything is going to be ok. It would be my pleasure to meet more lovely pet parents and help them out whenever they need! I hav a very chill job as a personal assistant so I have lots of availability. And my hobby is reading and writing so you get a very very chill person in your space that you can count on to be respectful and drama free I can offer a variety of pet care, I can do overnights or several hours and I can also do just a quick drop in if that’s all you need. I don’t have a car so unfortunately unless a uber is covered I can’t take them to the vet or things like that but I’m happy to spend my day at a nearby park or just read a nice book with them in your lovely home. Whatever works for you and of course you can just let me know whatever it is you need, it would be my pleasure to accommodate 🥰

About: Hi! I’m Van—a caring, experienced sitter with two snuggly dogs of my own who love having new friends around. I offer overnight stays in my fenced-in home, drop-in visits, and walks, all tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I have a soft spot for seniors and special-needs pups. I’ve cared for blind and deaf dogs, and pets needing regular medications or gentle routines. Whether your companion is full of energy or prefers slow strolls and lots of cuddles, I’ll meet them where they’re at with patience, kindness, and consistency. At my home, your dog will have room to roam, a calm environment, and the company of two friendly resident pups who are happy to share their space (and snuggle spots). I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I send regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. Whether you need a reliable drop-in, house sitter, or a cozy place for your pup to stay, I’m here to help. I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can care for them like one of my own. I am a full time stay at home dog parent of two. I love animals and their quirky personalities. Let me snuggle with your dogs. I can drop by to love and care for them in their space, or take them on walks around the neighborhood. Adventures to dog parks can be arranged as well!

About: I have worked in dog hotels as an overnight caretaker (no humans, just dogs), I have been a dog walker and a dog owner for nearly my whole life. I trained our family service dog (recently passed) on my own and got her professionally certified. I am home everyday as a homeschooling mom. Your pet is a part of the family while they are here. My kids and I are a chill group, Dogs are a natural fit. I have a small deck in the back, my kids and I go on walks constantly, the dogs are welcome on the beds and on the couches. My home is their home.

“Amazing! Great communication, and so detailed. ? would book again ??”

“Lauren was great with my dog! I wasn't worried at all about Violet while I was gone, even when she got an upset stomach and felt sick. Lauren communicated well, asked good questions when I showed her the ropes, and clearly responded to Violet's needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs and taking care of them with my family. I’ve have volunteered with the SPCA since I was 9 years old. I’m usually available in the afternoon/evenings on weekdays and then on weekends I am basically free the whole day and night. I love dogs and I have always thought that being a dog walker would be the coolest job to have. Now I can’t think of anything more fun than spending my day with dogs and going on adventures with them. Especially since I can’t have a dog where I live this will make me much more eager to get the job done and make sure the owners and the dogs are happy to work with me.

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.

About: Growing up with dogs of different breeds and temperaments, I’ve gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for them at every stage of life. From managing the energy of an unneutered English Cocker Spaniel with firm boundaries to understanding the unique needs of senior dogs like my late Golden Retriever and Shih Tzu, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior. What sets me apart is my ability to read a dog’s body language and respond with care that makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also worked with dogs that are reactive or aggressive, helping them navigate their world with patience and understanding. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or an energetic play session, I’m here to provide your dog with personalized attention and love. Let me make your dog’s day brighter and your life easier! Currently a part-time student, doing school remotely so my weeks are very open at the moment. I am seeking a part time job but until I find one, I am very open on a daily basis. My days consist of a couple hours of studying, couple hours of cooking meals, and 1-2 45 minute workouts. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their comfort and happiness are my top priorities. While I don’t have a backyard, I’m located near a park and am more than happy to take frequent potty breaks and walks to keep your pup active and content. In my home, pets are welcome to lounge on the furniture and enjoy a relaxed, cozy environment. With years of experience handling dogs of all temperaments and energy levels, I know how to make pets feel safe and loved. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own, ensuring they have plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. Whether it’s a quiet companion or an energetic playmate, I’m here to meet your pet’s unique needs. Let me know how I can make your pet feel right at home!

“Sydney and Elias are responsible, on time, and our dogs loved them. When either of them arrived for the dogs’ afternoon, after the third day, our pups were jumping around like family was home. Great communication. Would use them again in a heartbeat.”
