Mission apt avail for dog sitting

Hello! I am a dog lover and live in a pet friendly building in San Francisco's Mission district, near Rainbow Grocery. There are tons of dog friendly walks around here, including Dolores Park, Potrero Hill area and Valencia & Guerrerro Streets, and close to the Financial District. My home is a large two bedroom apartment with a back porch. I grew up with Collies & Shih Tzus and would love to offer a place to dog sit one or multiple small or medium sized dogs. I can care for one larger dog at a time, maybe with room for another smaller sized dog, depending on size & personality types of the individual dogs. I work a lot from home so I am able to be there for your dog and provide a lot of care & attention. I am willing to provide extra care like administering medicine and mild grooming & cleaning upon request. I can adapt to your dog's personality and provide a fun & friendly environment. HOUSE TRAINED dogs only please. Also, no dogs that are overly barky as they disturb my neighbors. Please view my testimonials! A typical stay includes a lot of attention paid to your dog, three walks a day, meals as per your instruction and a comfortable night's sleep. Please contact me for any more information you need. Thanks, Erin About this sitter: I love dogs! I work mostly from home and can provide very good care for your dog. I live in a large dog friendly two bedroom apartment in the Mission district that includes a big sunny back porch. Please view my testimonials and contact me if you have any questions or need a dog sitter. I recently got my own Shih Tzu pup Theodore (Teddy). He is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs, and gets along with everybody. If you would like to inquire about my dog sitting I'd like to set up a meet and greet with your dog(s) and Teddy before hand. Because I live in an apartment building with neighbors I cannot accept dogs that are overly barky. (Thanks for understanding). Thanks! Erin Why I love dog sitting Since I was born! I lived with two full grown collies as an infant, and have had dogs all my life. At my family's house we have had four different Shih Tzus over the years, I am partial to Shih Tzus but I love all dogs, big & small. I've cared for all sizes in my home, from Pitbull to Doberman to Pomeranian! Meet my pets Teddy the Shih Tzu, a very friendly, mellow and playful pup who gets along with everybody. About my yard I have a nice sunny back deck. Many of my dogs that I have cared for enjoy sitting on the back porch in the warm sun. My experience administering medication Yes, with correct instruction.

My 2 Shih Tzus had a wonderful time at Erin's! She was so responsible and responsive, and through her daily updates and photos I could tell she adored them like they were her own. This was my first time in years using a dogsitting app but knowing they were in her care, I was able to enjoy my trip with peace of mind. Thanks so much Erin, we will be rebooking for future stays!

We left our dog with Erin for a week while we traveled to Europe. It was the first time we’d left him with anyone since we got him. Erin took fantastic care of him! We got plenty of pictures every day, and I was very impressed with how responsive Erin was. We were totally at ease on our vacation that he was in great, capable hands. Can’t recommend her highly enough, and we will definitely have her take care of Roo again!!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in the Mission, my favorite parks are Soma West Dog Park, Dolores, Duboce & Precita parks, but I tailor my dog walks to each dog... some dogs do not like a public park with other dogs, and some cannot be off leash, so I just speak with the dog owner and figure out what's best for each particular pup. Your dog's sleeping arrangement It depends on your dogs size and temperament, many times a dog can sleep in the bed with me, or on the floor in a dog bed. Sometimes they prefer the living room floor or couch. It just depends on the dog's personality, size, and amount of shedding. Time I'll spend with your dog 75-100% of the day!

Erin can host up to 2 pets per night
I enjoy all dogs, but I always like to know your dogs personality, likes/dislikes, walking style and any sort of medical issues. It's good for me to know how your dog gets along with other dogs and small dogs as I have a 12 pound Shih Tzu male pup & sometimes I will dog sit more than one dog in my home.
