About: I’ve taken care of two malamutes from puppy stage to adult stage. Very intuitive with dogs as far as noticing issues that might be bothering them. I currently work primarily for Instacart. So my schedule is 100 % flexible. If I am available when you need help with your animal I will be happy to help If I am taking care of a pet at a clients home I will make sure that the house is dog safe so that nothing in the home gets damaged or misused.

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.

“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.”

“Lauren is fantastic! I love the updates I got while at work and Churro seems to have enjoyed the River experience as well! I love reading the recaps each experience with Lauren! She’s fantastic”

About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they are given a lot of attention including going on walks, runs, and playing with them.

Also- if you are training your dogs with certain commands, I will make sure to use during our walk.
“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.

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 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.”

“Alex took wonderful care of my cat Maya, I knew she was well taken care of in my absence. My cat was happy as evident from the great pictures Alex took on her visits. She even took care of my plants!”

“Jenna was fantastic with my pup, Charlie. Her love and attention gave me a lot of comfort to know he was in good hands! She gave live updates and showed that she genuinely cared about my pup!”

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 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!

Aaron took excellent care of my cat, Nyx. Nyx seemed to be in great spirits and enjoyed Aaron’s company. Aaron also kept me well informed with updates on how Nyx was doing, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated the attentive care and clear communication, and I would happily recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Aaron took amazing care of my two cats! He made sure they were played with , in a clean environment, cuddled and fed! My cats looked super comfortable and happy with his care. I’m so grateful he took extra steps to make them comfortable , and provided me plenty of picture updates of them and their routine! I will absolutely be rebooking with Aaron in the future.
Once I saw Halley moved back to SF, I knew I had to rebook with her! She’s taken amazing care of my Jinxy for two years and I knew she’d be the best person to rebook with since Jinx loved her so much. She took incredible care of my boy and my newer boy, Cosmo. Thank you for taking great care of my kitties, Halley! 🐈⬛🐈⬛💕

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!

Lucia was great with our special needs pup. We recently started fostering her, and she was dubious about strangers. Lucia handled it like a champ, even planning ahead and bringing high-interest treats! I highly recommend Lucia, she clearly cares about animals and understands their needs.

We had a really great experience with Kimberly. Lots of photos, good communication, our cats looked very well taken care of and actively played with, and our home was in good shape when we came home which isn’t often the case when we return from a trip where the cats are living sans human. Thank you Kimberly !!
