Reliable, Active & Loving Care — SF

Hi! I’m Summer — a San Francisco-based dog lover with a flexible schedule, active lifestyle, and a genuine love for animals. I know how important it is to leave your animal with someone you trust, so I focus on providing dependable, attentive care in a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and at home. I have my own dog, Benson, an almost 2-year-old Golden Retriever who is sweet, social, and loves exploring the city with me. Having him has made me deeply in tune with animals needs, routines, and comfort levels. I can sincerely say when your dog or cat is with me, they’ll receive the same love, attention, and care I give my own.

Summer was fantastic and Caesar loved her. She was super attentive to our pup and went above and beyond in caring for him. Benson her 2 year old golden was an added bonus and our pup got a long great with him. We had plenty of photos and updates!

Summer was amazing! She had such a way with our dog Sam. She is super attentive and played with him so well. She even cleaned up all the dog toys so it was like she was never there. We would 100% recommend Summer to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Summer was so great with both our dog and our cat (she watched them both at the same time)! She was very communicative and sent multiple photos and updates every day. She even built our cat a fort to help entertain him. We were completely at ease knowing our pets were in good hands.

Summer was so great with Tucker! This was Tucker’s first time staying with a sitter. She put us at ease with her frequent communication and responsiveness. She did a great job sharing photos and keeping us up to date on how Tucker was doing. She even bought him toys to make him feel more comfortable being away from home. We can’t wait to have Tucker stay with her again.

Highly recommend Summer! I think Sadie had more fun on her weekend away at Summers than she does with us. She was highly communicative and flexible, and we personally referred her to two other dog parents we know. 💗 thank you!!

Schedule

I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines for the most part and always try to keep pets on a schedule similar to what they’re used to at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise all pets in my care. I pay close attention to routines, triggers, leash safety, feeding instructions, and any special needs or behaviors you share with me ahead of time.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my care includes morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of downtime based on your dog’s routine and energy level. If you’re comfortable, I’m happy to provide organic duck, salmon, and beef treats, along with Portland Pet Food Company food toppers and beef broth with meals at no extra cost. Since I have a flexible schedule, your dog will get lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My dog, Benson, is friendly and social, so there’s built-in play and company if your dog enjoys it. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

A few important things I like to know ahead of time are your dog’s temperament, routine, and any special needs. This includes how they do with other dogs, any anxiety triggers, food restrictions, medications, allergies, or behaviors I should be aware of (crate training, leash pulling, barking, etc.). I also ask that owners let me know about potty habits and ensure their dog is potty trained so I can make their stay as comfortable and seamless as possible. The more I know upfront, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
