Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lakeshore, San Francisco, CA

About: If you want a walker that treats your dog as their own and not a gig I’m your guy! Each walk or visit includes at least 3 photos, a potty log and 1 simple skill rep (curb sit, calm door exit, loose leash). Seniors get gentle loops; shy dogs get quiet, patient handling; puppies get structure and sniff breaks. I’m careful with keys/codes, always respect privacy and ensure your dog’s safety above all else. I work part time in the evenings, so I have lots of availability to care for your furry friend! I’m available from 8am to 4pm M-F. M-F 8am-4pm I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and safety for my clients pets is my top priority. That being said, fun, play and treats are a close 2nd, 3rd and 4th! I have no problem following instructions and will ask for clarity when necessary. I am always respectful of personal property and privacy.

“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away on a two-week vacation. Cameron visited daily to check in on our cat, collected our mail, watered our plants, and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was such a relief to know our kitty was in good hands. I highly recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a pet sitter for at-home visits!”

About: Hi there! I'm Lizzy, and I'm here to give your dog the love and care they deserve! As a passionate dog lover with 15 years experience, I understand that each pup has their own unique personality and needs. Whether it's a walk in the park, cuddle time on the couch, or keeping your dog engaged with fun activities, I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’m committed to providing a reliable and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. You can count on me to follow your pup's routine and give them the attention they need to feel comfortable. Rest assured, I will treat your dog like my own, and I’m always just a message away if you need updates or pictures! Please let me know if there are any training techniques you have been working on with your dog so I can help keep consistency with what they are learning! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or specific requests for your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a flexible work schedule and can change my schedule as needed with advance notice. I can provide walks, park time, beach time, or backyard time. I have a large fenced back yard with at least 6ft of fencing, in some places higher. Within the home there is usually someone home. If your dog is crate trained, we used Impact crates for safety.

“Allison was fantastic with our cat Harriet! We wanted Harriet to be kept company while we went on a trip, and she warmed up to Allison right away. Allison was punctual each visit, and kept us up to date with everything. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! I grew up caring and raising for 5 dogs up until I went to college. During COVID my family and I adopted a Doberman/German Shepherd puppy from a rescue and I spent the next 2 years caring and training him before I moved back to SF. I adopted a Goldendoodle puppy, Barley, about 3 years ago. Raising a puppy on your own is not easy, but I've learned a lot! My own pup is anxious and takes time to warm up to strangers and other dogs. I've worked hard to combat his reactivity through training and am proud to say we have made lots of progress. I am truly a dog lover and deeply care for any dog that comes my way. Throughout my time with my own dogs, I have also looked after my family & friend's pups as well. I have a great understanding on how to care for dogs from their puppy stage, into their teens phase, then into their senior years. With my past experiences with many dogs, I feel well equipped to help take care of pups of all ages, sizes and behavioral quirks. I currently have a hybrid full-time work schedule! I typically work in the office on Tues/Thurs and am available in the evenings after work. On the other days I'm not in the office, I work from home. My personal schedule is very flexible. I am more than happy to chat through schedules to see what works for you and your pup! I will always suggest a meet and greet before confirming a booking to ensure that you and your pup are both comfortable with me! I will take detailed notes on how you'd like me to spend a drop-in visit or walk with your dog. Your dog's needs will be met and I will make sure they have some fun at the same time.

“My three cats were purfectly cared for. One was really shy and Kirsten got her to come out and say hi and got her to purr. Big thanks for Kirsten.”

About: I’m pretty much the average dog sitter / walker but I have a calm, cool as a cucumber husky that loves to play and would love a friend to join us on our walks all over SF. We go at our own pace and spend lots of time sniffing, chilling or having the zoomies before moving along. Most of the places we visit are off leash parks such as Fort Funston or McLaren park on the weekdays and the Great Highway and GGP on the weekends. On special warm days we head out to the parks in the South Bay such as Montara beach or the trails in half moon bay. I work full time self employed as a musician but I have an active husky that I take care of daily. We are out and about everyday for a minimum of 3 hours and more on the weekends. Majority of my pet care hours are between 9am-3pm on the weekdays and all day (mostly all afternoon) on the weekends. I prefer to care for a client’s pet at their home since it brings comfort to the dog whilst their parents are away. I would prefer to bring my dog as well so that we can all be together and spend our time having as much fun as possible. The whole point would be to tire them out so they don’t notice that their parents are gone for the time being. If being at their home is not possible and I would have to bring them to my home, then I would bring their dog bed and their dog bowl with them. They need their items of comfort and their food so they don’t have diarrhea etc.

“Another great sit from Yvonne! She is very accommodating and very sweet with our dogs, sending lots of kind notes and pictures.”

About: Caring, consistent and responsible. We all need more joy in our lives and what better way than to spend time with animals. What I lack in experience (taking care of other people's animals) I make up for with offering positive and compassionate care. Over the last 16 years, many different little joys have been part of my family - rabbits, a guinea pig, fish (our beloved goldfish, Ponyo, was with us for 6 years), 2 wonderful rambunctious dogs Jack and Kiki and a wonderful Persian cat, our sweet angel Mimi (we miss her so much!). Now, our feisty Persian-Himalayan, Marti Bird, has the place to herself. I have experience with puppies and kittens and took care of a couple of them when they got sick, so I understand how important it is to show extra special attention and care to the ones that need it the most. We all want others to love our animals as much as we do so know that when I'm with your little (or not so little) ones I will do exactly that. Working from home allows me to keep a pretty flexible schedule which means I get to spend time with your loves playing, walking and belly rubbing... or simply keeping them company in the same room if that's what they need. I'm working my way towards caring for pets in my home. For now, our cat has full reign of the place. I'd love to host your pet when the time is right!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up surrounded by pets, I've always had a deep connection with animals — they've always been part of my family. Over the years, I’ve rescued many animals, worked as a cat socializer at the SPCA, and have continued to dedicate my time and heart to making pets feel loved, safe, and happy. I've had the joy of caring for many dogs in my home, giving each one lots of love, attention, and a safe, comfortable place to stay—both inside and outside in my private, fully fenced backyard with a spacious lawn for supervised play. I'm located in the beautiful Outer Sunset, where there are plenty of dog-friendly trails, parks, and beach spots to explore. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk or prefers a slow, sniff-filled stroll, I always cater the pace and route to match their unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it's daily walks, boarding, or drop-ins, I provide the same love and care as I would my own furry family members. If you're looking for someone experienced, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals — I’d love to meet you and your pet! I am very flexible both during the week and on weekends. I would love to hear about your specific needs so please reach out to me. I have a large, private, and fully-fenced in backyard for supervised play. I also have multiple indoor spaces for lounging and comfort. If your pet is looking for a comfortable and safe environment full of love and attention - this is it!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets truly brings me joy. With a big house and a securely fenced backyard, your furry friend will have plenty of space to play, explore, and relax safely. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going for walks, or playing in the yard, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll provide updates to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. Since I’m currently a full-time housewife, I’m home most of the day and can give pets my full attention. I enjoy spending time at home, so I have plenty of time for play, walks, feeding, and cuddles. Pets won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll always make sure they feel loved and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets stay in a safe and comfortable environment. I have a big house with a securely fenced backyard, so dogs can play and exercise freely without worry. Inside, pets have cozy spaces to relax, and I always keep an eye on them to make sure they’re happy and safe. For cats, I provide quiet spots where they can feel secure and adjust at their own pace. I’m also lucky to have a very nice dog park right in my neighborhood, which is perfect for safe walks, exercise, and social playtime (if the owner is comfortable with it).

“Ronnie did a fantastic job with our cat, handling some problems with the house key smoothly and giving us daily updates. She’s very perceptive with the cat, understanding him and helping him be less anxious while we were away. We’re grateful for her help!”

She sent updates and pictures and I could tell that she truly enjoys animals and pet sitting. We can’t wait to have her back!”
