About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve loved pups of all sizes and personalities and feel confident in reading their body language, energy levels, and individual needs. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, whether a dog needs playful engagement or a quiet, reassuring presence. As a cat mum, I understand their independence and subtle communication, giving them space while building trust. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with love, respect and responsibility. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine right now. I’m currently available every day, which means I have the flexibility to prioritise consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime and check-ins without rushing. Because I don’t have a 9-5 fixed schedule, I can accommodate morning, midday and evening visits, longer stays, or last-minute bookings when needed. When caring for pets in clients home, my priority is keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, refresh water, administer medication if needed, and make sure litter trays or outdoor areas are kept clean. For dogs, I tailor walks and playtime to their energy level and personality - whether that’s a long, stimulating walk or a slower, gentle outing. For cats, I balance interactive play with respecting their space and making sure they feel secure in their own environment. I’m very mindful about f keeping your home tidy and secure, bringing in mail if needed and sending regular updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away. I treat both your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I focus on providing calm, attentive in-home care that keeps your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m available for recurring weekday midday drop-ins for dogs who need a potty break, playtime, or a short walk while their owners are at work. I’m especially comfortable with cats and senior pets, and I carefully follow detailed care instructions for feeding schedules, litter care, medications, and household routines. Friends and family trust me with shy, routine-oriented, or older pets because I’m patient, reliable, and detail-oriented. I provide regular updates with photos so you know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m based in the Marina and serve nearby neighborhoods within walking distance, including Cow Hollow, Pacific Heights, and Russian Hill. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent visits or overnight stays throughout the week. I’m available for late morning, afternoon, and evening visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety and consistency. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter care, medications, and household guidelines. I make sure pets are secure, monitor food and water intake, and maintain a clean, low-stress environment. If anything seems unusual, I communicate promptly.

About: Over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments.

Sammy was great with Astro. When he first saw her he immediately came out to sniff her and get pets by her. Sammy was really nice and communicative throughout the whole care. She also went above and beyond and cleaned up for us a bit around the house.

Celine was great! Receiving her fun action shots of my cats put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands. She took extra time to play with them even after putting up with the twice-daily challenge of keeping them separated during mealtime. I would 100% book her again for cat care!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. For over 12 years, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, including those with special medical needs. This experience has taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care and follow specific instructions to ensure pets are comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it's going on walks throughout the city, administering medication, managing diets, or simply offering companionship, I’m dedicated to giving each pet the love and attention they deserve! I work full-time during the week, splitting my time between the office downtown twice a week (flexible) and working from home in the Marina District the rest of the time. This schedule allows me flexibility to accommodate pet care needs, especially on evenings and weekends when I’m available for walks and visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, and stimulated, following any specific instructions or preferences you may have their care. I also keep the environment clean, offer companionship - and, I’m always happy provide regular updates to pet owners!

I cannot recommend Marie highly enough. She completed a week’s worth of drop in visits for my cat, Elia, and made sure that Elia was well taken care of. Marie truly cares about pets and Elia was no exception. I received an abundance of pictures, as well as detailed updates summarizing the visits. I would not hesitate to schedule Marie again in the event of another trip away from home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my world. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pup. In high school, I volunteered at a doggy daycare where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. In college, I walked dogs on Rover and loved building long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. Now that I’m in San Francisco, I’m excited to continue caring for dogs in the city and give them the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I already live an active, dog-friendly lifestyle. I have a mini goldendoodle of my own, so I’m used to planning my days around walks, playtime, and keeping a consistent schedule. I love getting outside, and I’m lucky to live near Lafayette Park. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening play session, caring for dogs is already a built-in part of my day. I’m happy to fold your pup’s routine right into mine and make sure they get plenty of attention, movement, and love. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved from the moment they arrive. I live in a large apartment with plenty of space for dogs to relax and play, along with cozy dog beds, toys, and a calm environment. I also live right across the street from Lafayette Park and just a short walk from Alta Plaza, so your pup will enjoy lots of outdoor time, fresh air, and neighborhood walks. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat every home and every pet with the same respect and care I give my own. My goal is always to keep your dog’s day as smooth, familiar, and happy as possible, no matter where they are.

About: I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and regularly take friends and family members pets on walks when needed. I take my parents dog to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

I highly recommend Zoe to watch your pets! I have two large, hyper dogs, which can be a lot for some people. But she quickly learned their behaviors and earned their trust. After a few drop-ins, they grew comfortable around her and started looking forward to her visits. She’s great at communicating and keeping me informed with any updates. Thanks so much, Zoe!

Lu is such an amazing pet sitter. My cat Cabbage has kidney issues and had urinary blockage before. She checks the litter box and communicates with me daily to make sure everything is normal. Cabbage is usually very shy with new people. However Lu has been very patient and she managed to get familiar with my cat very quickly. Lu took care of Cabbage very well while I am away. I highly recommend Lu!
