“David was great! Responded quickly and was flexible on timing as I had to book my dog’s walk last minute due to a change in work schedule. David took great care of my mini bernie, Marshall. He was communicative, flexible, on time, and attentive. It was nice to know Marshall was in good hands.”

“So grateful for Katheryn. She did an incredible job with my dog Clementine. Took such good care of her and gave me a great report after. Will absolutely be booking her again!”

“I'm super appreciative of Sean, as he stepped in to help at the very last minute. He took my dog out for walks for a week. He was very responsive and took good care of my little pup. Highly recommend!”

“Emi was amazing. So caring and sweet. She even brought special treats for my dog (and asked permission to treat him, ofc). She paid attention to which blocks he felt more comfortable walking and gave me thoughtful observances on his behavior. Would definitely book her again.”

“Thoughtful, responsible, friendly. My dog is not easy and she loves Davis. He gives a lot of effort, and I can tell he cares about her success. Would 100% recommend”

About: I’m the daughter of a veterinarian and grew up in a small farming town in Illinois, where caring for animals was part of daily life. I moved to San Francisco 27 years ago and have been the go to sitter for dogs, cats, birds, and pigs ever since. I’m calm, warm, and responsible. I love getting outside for walks, park time, and slow sniff sessions for pups who like to take their time. I have a soft spot for senior pets and understand how to support animals who move a little slower or need extra patience. Your pet will get steady attention, a peaceful home environment, and someone who genuinely enjoys their company. I look forward to meeting you and your animal. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop ins, playtime, and quiet company. I can be an active companion for your dog at the park or a calm lap for your cat while I read and keep them company. I’m reliable with timing, good with communication, and able to adjust to what your pet needs during the day. I take safety and comfort seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine so they feel secure. I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific rules you use at home. I’m gentle, patient, and always keep a close eye on animals when we are out on walks or visiting the park. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep your animal’s environment steady and familiar. I give regular updates so you know how your pet is doing and can relax while you are away. My goal is for your dog or cat to feel safe, understood, and cared for every step of the way.
“Lauren was great with my dog! I wasn't worried at all about Violet while I was gone, even when she got an upset stomach and felt sick. Lauren communicated well, asked good questions when I showed her the ropes, and clearly responded to Violet's needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: My whole life, I’ve been told I have a gift with dogs. I have cared for a wide variety of breeds, I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve looked after senior dogs with special needs. I even raised and trained my parents’ dogs in Kansas City (a dachshund and a cavalier King Charles spaniel). I deeply love animals, I believe they deserve to be treated with love and respect, and I promise I will cherish your little one(s) like they’re my own family. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I have just relocated to San Francisco, having moved from Europe, and I want to take time finding a full-time role in my field. This means I am available all day on weekdays! I have a dog-friendly apartment, a fenced in backyard, and I will ensure your little one has everything they need to be safe, comfortable, and happy. There may even be treats involved, if that’s something you’re down with! If you’d rather me be in your home, I will be sure to ask for instructions, and I will be respectful of your space.
“Jaden is awesome! I couldn’t have been happier with the level of service and care they showed to my pup. My mind was at ease knowing my pup would be in good hands.”

About: I grew up in a home full of dogs, which gave me hands on experience with daily care, training, and lots of playtime. From the time I was 10 years old, I began helping neighbors with their pets. This included feeding, walking, and giving them plenty of love and attention. Over the years, I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, and I currently have a cat of my own. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in online school and working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet family! I can accommodate most requests with my current schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the utmost respect. I follow all instructions closely, whether it’s feeding routines, medication schedules, walk times, or special care details. I want your pet’s day to feel as normal and comfortable as possible. I also provide regular updates and pictures, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m a calm, dependable, and genuinely animal-loving sitter who enjoys working with dogs of all ages and personalities. I take my time getting to know each dog’s routine, energy level, and comfort zone so they feel safe and understood from the start. Whether your pup loves long walks, fetch marathons, or just slow snuggle time on the couch, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m attentive, clean, and communicative—I send updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. Safety, consistency, and plenty of affection are always my top priorities. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m free most weekdays after 2pm and fully available on weekends to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and care. I create a calm, safe environment and always follow your dog’s routine closely. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and patient, and I keep communication open with regular updates. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first, whether I’m in your home or caring for them in mine.
“Cory is amazing, so responsive and responsible. We have a huge reactive dog, who just loves him. And he’s a natural at handling him….if he can handle Marcus, he can handle any dog.”

About: Hi! I grew up taking care of (mostly big) dogs and cats, but am not yet in a place to have my own (one day)! My former roommate had two large dogs and I’d often take them out on walks, feed, bathe, even brush their teeth! I’ve house sat for many friends over the years (cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments), and walk a few of my neighbors’ dogs for free just because I miss having them around. Comfortable enforcing training and administering oral medications if need be. I work remotely so my schedule is quite flexible. I can organize my work such that I can take frequent breaks to ensure the pets are the priority! I had a Houdini puppy when I was younger so I am very cautious about making sure that pets are secure when entering/exiting the home.
About: In 2010 my heart dog Dexter came into my world and over the next 13 years we would take on his friends for care and walking. After he passed I made sure to keep myself busy with dog walking and moving to San Francisco this year I want to continue that part of my life here. Can’t wait to meet your dog! I’m a very active person who loves exploring San Francisco and could easily fit a pup into my hobby! I work from home freelance so schedule is flexible. I’m currently in a pet-free building but have extensive experience in others homes. I’m clean, quiet, and respectful. I do my best to assure the dog feels excited and not anxious about a new friend in their environment.
“This is our second time working with Thomas and he has been fantastic with our dog! Thomas is patient, prompt, and reliable. Our dog looks forward to walks Thomas and we can’t wait to work with him again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always had an affinity and love for animals. So much so, after having begged and pleaded my parents to get my very own pet, of which I had many as I grew up throughout school— a deal was made. I was essentially in charge of my furry friends in every way except for tasks of which were not accessible for my age at the time… things like medical records and visits/ appointments and such... ever since then, I've always made sure to maintain my fondness for dogs and cats by way of friends, one off's (i.e. strangers/job) and am genuinely so happy to spend time with cats & dogs! 28 years old I'm between jobs at the moment and have much free time to spend with your pets. I'm available all days and nights of the week. I do not prefer to have any pets at my home for the time being, just until I discuss with my housemate and make a few adjustments to sure of their safety! In your home, I would always refer to the guidelines/rules given to me from you and also I would most definitely inquire with any concerns, confusion, questions etc. if needed... I am respectful and mindful that your home is indeed your home and so, I would tidy any "mess' or "clutter" made, as well as keep stock of my footprint, so to speak...
