About: In addition to being raised sharing responsibility for our household cats and dogs, I've been providing house sitting and pet care for my community for as long as I can remember, and thus have ample references I'm happy to provide! Aside from regularly caring for dogs and cats, I also have snake & reptile and even horse experience! Making sure your animals get the care they deserve is really important to me, and it's always heartwarming to meet new fun creatures. I am a student working part time and I'm very well available to take care of your animals. I'm best available for visit and house sitting services. One of the reasons I wanted to join Rover was that I am moving into a pet-free apartment and I'm really excited to get my dog and cat fix. I don't have availability to host animals, but I am a diligent walker/visitor/house-sitter with years of experience. It makes me feel good to take care of your space and your pet because it offers me a sense of adventure and newness that I often look forward to! I'm always happy to provide references upon request. I've got many :) Family and external, too!

“Maria was beyond amazing! My little dog received fantastic care, tailored walks, and even cuddles. Maria was awesome at giving us updates and pictures - we loved seeing their adventures!”

“We have a reactive dog and Joseph has been doing a terrific job managing her in our neighborhood with lots of dogs. You’re so great to help and so happy that fell. Get these walk during the day.”

About: I rescued a puppy in 2010, trained him, walked him daily, and loved him unconditionally through his energetic puppy phase, teen angst (not actually because he was always happy), adulthood, and silver sunset senior days. He lived a happy and healthy 14 years, and now I am joining Rover to continue my care for dogs until I feel ready to adopt a new puppy. I have boarded several family and friend's dogs in the past since they know I am responsible, active, and trustworthy! I work from home (fully remote) so would never leave your pet during the workday to commute to an office. I have a very flexible schedule so I can easily take your pet out to go to the bathroom and walk whenever. I live within walking distance of the Panhandle and Golden Gate Park. I also have a fenced backyard, so I have access to plenty of places to walk dogs. I live on the garden level of a Victorian home, so it is very easy for me to take the dog outside. I would let your dog roam freely around my 2 bedroom unit, but don't allow dogs on the couch or bed.

“I was looking for a last minute walker and Marine came through for us. Although it was her first time walking Prince, Prince warmed up to her right away. Thanks Marine!”

“RJ was very professional and easy to work with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy the time that he spent with them on walks and during playtime, and RJ appeared to connect with them as well. Excellent service provider and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him to care for my pets in the future. Thanks RJ!”

About: Hey, I'm Taylor! Loving animals is not my whole personality, but it's close. I've been taking care of dogs big and small since I was a kid, and done more serious pet sitting and walking for friends & neighbors since 2017. Pictured is Wheezy, the love of my life: a half Boston Terrier half Pitty I rescued around 5 years ago and nursed back to health. Holler with any questions! I am a journalist and work weird hours! Generally available for afternoon and evening walks both week days and weekends on a case by case basis!. I have a fenced garden area where my pup loves to tromp around. I also live very close to Alamo Square Park, where we love to walk and play if you're comfortable with your pup being social. I've trained Wheezy to return when off-leash but never let other pups off leash without owner permission. In the home, I've got a large crate if needed.

“Shanna’s attentiveness and sincere care made our special needs elder pup feel comfortable from the get go! So much gratitude for the peace of mind and trust that Shanna delivers. Thank you!!!”

About: I grew up with 5 cats and two dogs, but alas, I cannot take one in permanently. I would love to connect and care for your animal! I have taken care of my own pets and others since I was a young girl. I have worked with kittens, puppies, senior furry friends, and more! I am available all day Friday-Monday. I work part-time in affordable housing and can ensure that when I am with your lovely pet, my undivided attention will be all in. I am conveniently located, nestled near four different parks. I can take long walks, play fetch, or just relax at home. I can offer a dignified, loving, and considerate playhouse for your animal.

About: Hi, I'm Ko! I have a deep love for animals that goes back as far as I can remember. I've spent 10+ years caring for dogs and building a genuine understanding of what animals need to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I believe a pet's emotional and mental wellbeing matters just as much as the physical basics. My goal is always for your pet to feel understood and at ease, whether that's a dog who needs a long run or a cat who just needs a calm, respectful presence in their space. Your pet is family. I make sure to treat them that way. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adapt to whatever routine works best for your pet. With structured routines, frequent updates, and fun weekend adventures, your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I work remotely part-time, so I have ample time to exercise, feed, and love on your pet! I have no problem with pets that may need more attention and keeping my time outside of the home brief (1-3 hrs.) When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their world as familiar and comfortable as possible. One of the primary ways I ensure your animals feel safe is by closely adhering to their routines so I follow feeding, medication, and exercise schedules closely and treat any deviations as the exception, not the norm. Before settling in, I do a quiet walkthrough to check for anything that could pose a risk—unsecured doors, open windows, potential hazards—so your pet's environment is as safe as it is comfortable. From there, I let the pet lead. Some warm up quickly, some take time, and I'm equally comfortable with both. Throughout every visit, I keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos. You should never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

“Callie was really professional and helpful for taking care of my dog Erin on walks in the morning while I was out of the country. Since I was in a different time zone and in an area where I didn't have great service, I was super impressed by Callie's ability to handle unpredictable situations as responsibly as possible and as independently as possible. Would love to have her take care of Erin again!”

“Nicola has been incredible. My pup can be a bit anxious, and Nicola has been such a warm and generous presence for her. I was nervous about having someone start to walk her regularly, but Nicola clearly loves and understands dogs. She is also super professional and communicative and has made the whole experience so easy. Strongly recommend working with Nicola!”

About: I was born onto a ranch with goats, chickens, a cat, and a whole bunch of dogs. Throughout my childhood, we also took in dogs through the foster care system which allowed me to experience dogs from all different sizes, ages, and temperaments. In college, I dog sat multiple times for a week - 2 weeks at a time. I always have been respectful of the space I am in and will send you pictures and updates so you know your loved one is safe and healthy. I am very comfortable with young dog training/care. I am fully available during the day time, I work part time in the evening, and am available overnight. My evening work will only keep me away from 2-4 hours maximum. I care for any pet as if it is my own. I will feed your pet at the times you request. I love to take dogs out on walks, in any environment that suits your dog. I do very well with high energy and playful dogs as I have one of my own. I will also be there to give your dog cuddles and love while you can't.

“Tobin was great! He went out of his way to help walk Otto, and was attentive to our instructions especially for a big German shepherd who’s a bit reactive on leash. As someone who is very anxious about leaving her pet behind, Tobin made our trip much easier !”

“So reliable. Got along super well with my bid dog. Listened carefully to instructions. Kept my dog safe, loved, exercised, and fed. I like that he is a San Francisco native who has lived in my neighborhood forever. Very good human!”

“Yeji was beyond amazing! From the very start, she was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and always right on time. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such caring, reliable hands. You can truly tell how much she loves what she does. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and will 100% be booking with Yeji again. Highly, highly recommend!”
