Active dog lover! Walks, runs, hugs
Pet care experience
** Dog owners: the more detailed the description of your dog, their needs, tendencies and restrictions the BETTER. Ex: if your dog is known to snoop through trash or chews up the rug if left alone, anxiety, afraid of noises, etc.** ** Also, Rover apparently doesn’t make this clear but i do have it listed that I have 2 cats! They are good with dogs! Haven’t had any issues. New Yorker living in San Francisco for 10 years now. I grew up with dogs my whole life. My family currently has 4 back home. I regularly dog sit my friends and neighbors dogs as needed. Why I started caring for other people’s dogs? When I moved here, I missed my family including my dogs! I met a Boston Terrier as a dog walker for Home Buddies SF where I walked up to 5 different size dogs from the Marina, Pacific Heights, the Presidio and back to each of their homes 5 days a week. This Boston Terrier’s owner became one of my dear friends and the rest is history. I found dog companionship & love by helping out friends. Some people watch kids for $$ but I watch dogs (family members) because I love animals, I believe I am patient and great with them, and I am always willing to help others because I understand the need! I have watched this Boston Terrier for days to months at least 3 times per year. More about me: I am a retired fitness instructor (SoulCycle) and now am a Recruiter! I like to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating well, spending time in nature, going for runs, indulging when necessary and creating memories with my loved ones. My passions in life are fitness, food, helping others and traveling.
Reviews
Wonderful, as always!
Bea was great! She sent a lot of pictures and Mischa had a nice stay with her. Bea was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times and quick with responses, which was appreciated.
Bea is amazing. My Maxwell loves her and feels very safe with her. She is great about communication. I never felt uninformed or out of the loop when he was with her. And she consistently goes above and beyond. The last time she watched him was immediately after I took him to the vet for x-rays because he has an unusual hip condition and was limping. I couldn't change my travel plans and was a worried wreck. She took such great care of him with short notice of having to adjust for his needs and even checked up on him after I brought him home. It is clear she loves dogs, and I see why they love her back so much.
Bea was great, so friendly and responsive. She was very flexible in setting up or drop off and pick up time and sent us so many pictures during Bogey's stay. He looked like he got so much outside time and he seemed like he had so much more energy when he came back to us, I think he got used to being outside a lot and was eager to get out more. He just seemed very happy when we picked him up, we would definitely book her again.

Walks through the city. I walk to most places as exercise and to enjoy the city. It also helps to save money. I frequent Alamo Square park, Baker Beach, Presidio, Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle. I often make trips to go for hikes or the beach.
