About: Hello, I have taken care of multiple friend's dogs for many years, from young and wild pups to stroller bound elder pups. Love all dogs (and cats too) Currently working part-time and other gig work, flexable/free most days and nights. Mornings preferred, but can be free at other times as well Can not have pets at my apartment, which partly why I love taking care of others. Will always look out for their safety and well-being
“Robert is amazing!!! He stepped right in where I needed him and has settled right in with my two Goldens. He’s patient, caring and attentive and it’s fantastic. Knowing Robert is coming to visit my dogs eases my mind as I know they’re in great hands.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals — from dogs and parrots to fish and even a turtle — so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog, Ola, was a golden retriever who lived a wonderful 14 years, and losing her made me realize just how much animals have shaped my life. For me, pet sitting isn't just about making sure your pet is fed and cared for — it's about getting to know *them*. I love learning their personalities, earning their trust, and figuring out the little things that make them happiest. Whether that's playing fetch, going for a long walk or hike, or simply hanging out together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I've also had experience caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I cared for Ola through her final days when she was no longer able to walk, and I've also cared for dogs recovering from injuries. Those experiences taught me to be especially attentive to an animal's comfort, routine, and individual needs, and I'll bring that same care and sensitivity to your family member. I work on a hybrid schedule, which makes it easy for me to spend extra time with pets on my remote-working days. I love the routine that comes with caring for an animal — their walks, meals, playtime, and excitement about the smallest things have a wonderful way of bringing structure and joy to my day. Your pet isn't just an animal I'm looking after — they're a little individual with their own quirks, preferences, and personality. I'd love the chance to get to know yours! I work a hybrid schedule with 2 days in/office and 3 days remote, so I have lots of time to shower your pet with attention, play and cuddles. On the days I’m out of the house, I’m home by 6PM because I hate the idea of a pet waiting too long for company. Since all I need is WiFi to get my work done, I’m also happy to spend the day at your home so your furry friend never has to be alone. My two bedroom apartment has plenty of cozy lounging space and I’m just an 8 minute walk from the park, so walks are quick, easy and never feel like a chore. Even when I don’t have a pet with me, I love stepping outside for a little fresh air during breaks, coffee runs or just to stretch my legs. Getting to share that time with a pet by my side is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day.
“David was a reliable walker for our two dogs and took care of their distinct needs. He took the time to learn about our dogs before their first walk which was important for the special care one of our dogs. Would definitely work with David again.”
“Katrina is the best! She is very easy to work with, listens carefully to instructions and always goes the extra mile. She had no trouble walking our big golden retriever and we always look forward to having her come by.”
About: Growing up, my family had 3 cats and 2 dogs. I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was 21, I was in college in New Orleans and I found a stray cat living under my house. When it was time to move, I took her with me and took care of her for years before giving her to my family so she could stay in New Orleans and live with other pets. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters - cleaning play areas, deep cleaning litter boxes, even taking care of kittens. I absolutely adore cats and would love to pet sit for you in San Francisco! I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule so it’s easy to fit in pet sitting. I’m happy to house sit or drop in for visits I can easily come to clients’ homes in SF and take care of cats - breakfast, dinner, play time, etc. I love to spend quality time with cats and play with them as well so they lead enriching lives.
About: I've had cats for most of my life, both the pampered indoor kitties who need their fluffy blankets to sleep and the tough outdoor kitties who bring "gifts" to my porch. I'm also an aunt to two gorgeous pups who love to take long walks around the neighborhood, play fetch, and spy on squirrels out the window. I have experience caring for the pets of friends and family members throughout my life too, including drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. Additionally, I have fostered two cats who went to wonderful forever homes. I treat each pet as a member of the family, and it's so fun to get to see each of their unique personalities. I pride myself on my attentiveness, gentleness, and ability to attune to animals' needs. You can have peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of during your time away. I am a barista on the morning shift. I typically am finished with work before noon, so I'd have the afternoon to pamper your pet! I understand the importance of sticking to a routine and acknowledging each pet's personality traits and needs when caring for them. I also provide regular updates, so you can rest assured that your fur baby is comfortable during our time together.
“Lala is simply the best! My anxious/awkward guy isn’t the easiest with walks (stranger danger, loud sounds, selective liking of other dogs) and Lala is so attuned to his needs! Her progress reports have helped us in our day-to-day as well. She’s simply the best! 💛”
“Maggie saved the day when I needed puppycare for a last minute trip. She went above and beyond spending quality time with Mila and providing detailed updates. Will absolutely book again! Thank you!!”
“I had a fantastic experience with João! He was incredibly easy-going, friendly, and most importantly, loving to my pet. João was there for us when we needed him the most, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and more than 7 years as a professional groomer, I understand that every pet is unique. I have experience administering medications and injections and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I provide loving, dependable care and personalized attention to ensure every pet feels comfortable, well cared for, and safe. I currently have a flexible schedule and I am willing to discuss potential dates for house sitting, walks, and visits. Please reach out for availability! I am respectful of every clients home and treat all pets with love, kindness, and respect. I make sure to understand every pet's routine so that they are comfortable and safe during my care.
“Katheryn was amazing, super helpful and communicative. Our dog puppy had an accident before she was picked up and Katheryn gave her a bath. Truly above and beyond.”
“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!”
“Federico connected with my dog instantly and took him on long, enriching walks while I was out of town. He also sent great photos and videos throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend him!”
About: I have many years of experience taking are of dogs and cats. I have had cats, dogs, turtles, and birds in all of my life. I will give your pet the highest quality care, as if they are mine. I will make sure their needs are met, and they get the love they deserve. I currently work from home, so your pet will get a lot of attention from me. I live 1 block from a park, and like to take walks through out the day. I enjoy throwing balls at the park for the pooches. I live in a big loft space, so having pets is not a problem. I like to start my day with a 30 minute walk, and end my day with a shorter walk. I'm only a 10 minute walk from Dolores Park and like to bring dogs there for social interaction if that's what the parents like.
About: I’ve been a dependable dog walker and sitter for friends and neighbors over the past two years, caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m known for being patient, calm, and attentive—especially during walks and potty breaks, where I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. 🌱 My love for animals runs deep—growing up, I had a family dog for 12 years. As they aged, I took on much of their senior care, so I understand the tenderness, patience, and consistency needed for older pets. I’ve also supported other families with senior dogs, always adapting to their physical needs and providing gentle companionship. 🫶🏽 What sets me apart is my reliability, soft presence, and genuine connection with animals. Whether your pup is full of energy or slowing down with age, I meet them where they are. Your pet will be treated like family with me—because that’s what they deserve. 💕 I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to dedicate to dog walking and pet care throughout the week. Pets come first! 🫶🏽 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their space safe, familiar, and stress-free. I follow routines exactly as instructed and respect your home as if it were my own. I’m comfortable with crate use and can easily crate your dog if needed. I take time to build trust with each pet, paying close attention to their comfort, boundaries, and energy. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my top priorities. 🌱

Benoit was amazing with Cal! He keeps you updated throughout the walk and provides a thorough and often hilarious recap of their adventures afterward. He’s incredibly sweet with Cal, and the care and attention he gives her are obvious in how much she enjoys spending time with him. I’d highly recommend Benoit to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Diana was great! I booked her last minute for a 1 hour walk because I had a very long day at work. She was able to get the key from the front desk and take my dog out with no problem. She was easy to communicate with and followed all my directions. She also sent photos and kept me updated. I highly recommend 👍👍👍
Jacob was phenomenal with our border collie! We did a meet and greet, then he took her on an hour long walk and she was comfortable with him right away. He’s clearly amazing with dogs and was able to safely let her off leash to play fetch and explore. We are very impressed with his communication and appreciate the updates and photos he sends. Will definitely hire him again for future walks / pet sitting!
Matt was such a great match for Uhtred, especially on a day when we really needed someone we could trust. We had an important doctor’s appointment at UCSF, and Matt went out of his way to make the walk work around our schedule, even offering convenient meeting options to make getting to our appointment easier. He was incredibly attentive to Uhtred’s needs and flexible when the coffee shop wasn’t the right environment, switching to a quiet walk to park instead. It’s hard to find someone you can trust your fur baby with on short notice, but Matt is absolutely that person. We’re so grateful and would happily book him again!
Brittany has been my regular weekly dog walker since I got my rescue a month ago and is absolutely wonderful. She's so sweet and patient with my pup Teddy! I love her reports and photos - you can tell she really cares and works with Teddy on his goals. On top of that, she's so fast to respond, easy to schedule with, and just generally easy going to work with. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone gentle and attentive with your dog - she's my #1 in SF
