“Had Gage everyday this week, as our puppy was neutered and couldn't do his regular off-leash hikes. Gage was on time every day, and our puppy Murphy was very excited to see him each day! I wouldn't hesitate to book Gage again, and was grateful that he was able to accommodate a fairly last minute request for a week of 8am walks!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my family currently has two Labs, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel happy. I also have several years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, caring for dogs and other animals while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and well exercised. Whether it’s an energetic walk, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time with them, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treating them with patience and tenderness. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins throughout the week. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during visits. For walks, I pay attention to leash safety, surroundings, and each pet’s energy level and needs. During check-ins, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals or medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also try to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, unaltered, and following any specific care instructions closely.
“Marielle was great with our dog, Buddy, and such a help to both meet with me and take Buddy out on short notice. Great communication, highly recommend, and hope to have her care for Buddy again!”
About: I’ve always grown up with having a dog in the house, and was asked my family and friends to feed, walk, and play with their pets (mostly dogs and cats)! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have a bunch of free time on my hands to keep your pup company. Even if you need someone just to pop in for a few minutes or take a long walk I’m your gal. I’m always aware of my surroundings and make sure the pup can become comfortable with me when I meet them! I will also ask additional questions in case I need extra clarification
“Emily was so sweet with Henry and even came by beforehand to meet him, which we really appreciated. She kept us updated with pictures and great communication the whole time. Henry loved her and we’d absolutely recommend her!”
“Our pups love Amber! She walks them twice a week and they get sooo excited when she’s here. She’s consistent and super easy to communicate with. We’re very lucky to have found her ☺️”
“Charles was fabulous with Sierra. We will definitely use him again when we travel to San Francisco. He was friendly and welcoming, especially given Sierra had not met him before and she can get anxious.”
About: Hi, I’m Connor! What sets me apart is that I’ve been surrounded by expert-level dog care my entire life. My mom was a vet tech for over 10 years, and for the past 20, she’s been a professional dog walker, boarder, and trainer. Growing up in that environment, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s walking, boarding, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs like they’re part of the family. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available 7 days a week for dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, which means I can follow your pet’s routine exactly — whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and fully dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for your space. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and reduce stress. During walks and visits, I make sure all doors and gates are securely closed and never leave your pet unattended outside. I keep open communication with you throughout my visits, providing updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and well-being, along with respect for your home, are my top priorities.
“Krystle has been great with my dog, who hates walks without me. My dog is happy to see her come to the door and enjoy the walks. Krystle is always on time and responsive to the needs of me and my dog. I’m so happy I found her on Rover.”
“Rachel is very conscientious and you can see she really cares about the wellbeing of my dogs. She is comfortable handling my slightly reactive but otherwise docile pack. I would get her again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, I’ve had two dogs! I’ve dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with young playful animals as well as older and quieter animals. I love playing and spending time with them! I work part-time, so have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I love taking dogs on walks and I have flexibility so I can take them out to go to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I can stay overnights for as long as needed. I have a fenced yard and I’m happy to spend as much time as I can with your pets. I’m happy to play fetch with dogs and take them on long and short walks.
About: Hello! My name is Gabrielle but I go by Abby. I am a dog lover, as I'm sure you are too. I am in Russian Hill, San Francisco where I don't have any pups but grew up with two Bernese Mountain Dogs. I have grown up caring for big dogs and walking them consistently. I am very active and LOVE to walk - even more so, with a dog buddy. I am comfortable walking and caring for multiple dogs at a time as I have lots of experience doing so. I am very responsible and detail oriented and a great communicator. I can promise you that your pup will be in great hands. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
“Demaris was great and sweet with Bowie. She was also super flexible since our timing was a little off. We would recommend her to anyone looking to find short term care for their pup!”

Jackson is great with my dogs. I have one rescue who is very nervous with new people and strangers, particularly men. She warmed up to Jackson quickly as he knew to give her space and not engaged with her until she was more comfortable with his presence. Jackson is really great to work with. He’s responsive and responsible. I look forward to working with Jackson more times..
Marielle was exactly who we needed to help with our dogs; we're so grateful to have found her! She confidently handled our two dogs walking through the neighborhood, including one that has some leash aggression and one that is prone to eating whatever he can find. She was punctual, communicative, and reported all the details of the walks each day - including photos! We knew our dogs were in good hands; we'll definitely be contacting her again for future walks. She's the best!
Caroline was great to work with when coordinating a walk for my dog, gave very special attention to my dog (and got some great photos from their walk), and by the time Caroline brought my dog back from her walk, my typically shy dog was already ready to go out on a walk again with Caroline!
We highly recommend Devon for any pet-sitting & dog walking needs! She leaves detailed notes and plenty of photos, great to have when we are away and want to make sure our dog is in good hands. We trust our dog is well taken care of any time we leave her with Devon, plus she is so easy-going and a pleasure to communicate with - so grateful we found her!!
After a meet and greet I asked Mariia to walk Dakota for me when I had to work late and I knew Dakota was in good hands! She is reliable and very communicative! She sent me multiple photos and kept me updated. Dakota was shy at first as she usually is, but Mariia gained her trust quickly and Dakota had a great walk while I was at work :)
We contacted Anjali one evening with a last-minute request right during dinner time. Bochy hadn't exercised all day and was acting out. She jumped at the chance to take Bochy to play and ended up taking him for a nice walk and fetch time. She was good about keeping him under control off leash, and he came back tired and happy. Thank you!!
