Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Mission

“Julia was amazing! She cared for our new puppy so well and left us feeling so secure in his care! She was thorough and provided lots of updates. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I am a career estate, family, and lifestyle manager. I’ve spent my life working in high net worth homes and one of my core responsibilities has been to care for the dogs of the people I’ve supported. I absolutely love animals and this was one of my favorite aspects of my work. I have also always had dogs of my own. I am currently a couple of weeks into a new move to the west coast and am on a bit of a work sabbatical but would love the opportunity to just be around and care for some dogs. I have worked with dogs from puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’m very active and love to walk. I’ve trained multiple dogs and dogs are extremely responsive to me. You’d be hard pressed to find an individual who has had the experience that what I bring to the table. I am reliable, independent, discreet, empathetic, enthusiastic, and just adore working with and caring for animals. I am not doing this for a job or for financial gain but because I truly just value my time with dogs. I am currently on sabbatical and loosely looking for new opportunities. My only daily routine is going to the gym. I can fit in dog walking at any point in time as my schedule is extremely wide open. I am currently staying in a place where I cannot host dogs but I have spent the entirety of my career working in private homes. I am very discreet, responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. It is very easy for me to follow the directions of clients and deliver top tier care for their pets.

“David did such a great job with my three kitties. I have a senior kitty that requires special attention and he did this without a hitch. They enjoyed him so much and I got lots of pictures.”

About: My family have had dogs my whole life and I have experience working with deaf dogs and some limited experience with puppies. Additionally I have taken care of senior dogs on occasion. I am a college student home for the summer so I’m available most weekdays to walk or look after dogs. I am not sure if I will be able to work weekends but I will see later. I am very used to taking care of dogs since my family have had them my whole life, and I am especially good at giving them the attention and care that they need.

About: Hey there, San Francisco! A little about me: I've had dogs all my life and my love of animals inspired me to study veterinary nursing in college (Didn't finish, but walked away with skills regardless!). I'm huge on animal welfare, and work like this does my heart wonders, as I hope my services do for you and yours! I've had plenty of experience fostering puppies/dogs, as well as with kittens/cats and other small animals if you are in need of help with them as well. I have done some behavioral training with my own previous dog. I also have experience and tons of patience with special needs animals, so medication, specific accommodations, etc. shouldn't be a problem! In fact, our little buddies that need a little extra help hold a particularly special place in my ❤️ In addition, I hold a certificate in dog CPR and first aid, as indicated in my pictures. Looking forward to making new friends with y'all! My current schedule is somewhat flexible, with a few gigs here and there. Obviously, the more notice I have, the better. But if I can work with you, I most certainly will! I can be an early riser if needed, but generally I wake up around 10 a.m. on average. I mostly stay up pretty late, so there is that too. Howling at the moon, of course 😜 Typically, I prefer to do a meet and greet before booking any of my services. I want to make sure that we both feel comfortable with the arrangement and that I can successfully meet your expectations. The more information I have before booking and before the service begins, the better. You'll see that I am highly communicative and send way too many pictures lol! It's important to me to be fully transparent and to be able to reinforce the trust that has been given to me. I understand the importance of our animals and how preciously we want them to be cared for. Whenever and wherever possible, I always try and go above and beyond. Should you need any services that would involve my home, I live in a studio apartment in The Mission near 25th & Mission. Not a huge space, but definitely not a shoebox either. Big enough for me to feel nice and comfy, with room to spare for visitors, especially yours 😉 I don't have a yard, but I do have a gated back patio. There are some general, common animal care supplies at my place. I'm happy to send some pics if it helps to assess whether what I can offer is adequate for you! Please, ask as many and all questions that you would like. My phone is always on and nearby, should there be anything needed to be communicated. I'm pretty open, I can bend, and whatever the case, if I can, I'm more than happy to work with you with whatever situations or circumstances that might be needed to be taken into consideration. I teach yoga classes, so I am pretty fit and strong, but I generally set my dog size limit at 25 lbs and under. But each situation and dog is different, so again, whenever possible, I'll work with you if I can!

“We are so lucky to have found Eric for our two cats! After a few recent, tough experiences with sitters staying in our home, we came to Rover to try drop in care instead, and we’re so glad we did! Eric was very communicative, which was important to us not having someone there around the clock like we’re used to. We also appreciated his flexibility, as we were road tripping and not 100% set on our schedule. He also stepped in to manage some messes the cats made and went above and beyond making sure our home was taken care of. Most importantly, I felt like Eric knew what both of our cats needed (one love+play and the other a little space!) and both were happy and healthy when we got home. We’re definitely going to be using Eric again for future travel and highly recommend for anyone considering.”

About: I had dogs and cats since i was 9 years old. I believe that we human are animals, and we are privileged to have other animals that love us and depend on us. I’m flexible and in full control of my time. I’m a street, and portrait analog photographer, so I plan everything ahead. I have the luxury of changing my plans if needed. I make sure pets are happy, clean and well fed. I like to play and communicate with them. It makes me happy to be close with them.

“This was our first time working with Elise and we couldn’t have been happier! Our girls were so well cared for during our trip, we never had to worry! The pictures and updates made us so happy, and we could see from the pictures that our babies were too! We will definitely be asking her back to take care of our kitties!”

“Thomas was AMAZING! We needed someone on short notice after our primary cat sitter had a conflict with a few dates during our vacation. Thomas was responsive, prompt at showing up for a meet and greet, and immediately connected with our kitty, Sherman, taking detailed notes. During the stay, Thomas gave our kitty the attention he deserved. Not only that, he sent us lots of pictures and gave us detailed updates. It was awesome not having to worry about our kitty while thousands of miles away. We look forward to booking Thomas in the future!”

“Anne was great! My problem child (bitey cat) loved her. I booked with her last minute when my friend cancelled due to and emergency and she was responsive and really nice about it. Pictures and a video were sent, cat was happy, I'm happy! I would trust her with either one of my pets. Thanks, Anne!”

“Sean did a great job taking care of our kitty cats. When we returned home they had nice silky fur :) Great communication and we would happily rebook. Also, the photos of our boys were very high quality, we were impressed!”

Daphne B.

“When I met Joslyn I instantly felt her warm and positive energy. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat Flora. It was not an easy job because Flora has experienced extreme trauma and she is an elderly cat. Where others would have given up, Joslyn was patient and not intimidated by Flora’s stressed demeanor. She took her time and slowly took the necessary steps to ensure she received the care she needed. I appreciated the videos and photos she took during each visit. She even brought in our mail and packages while we were away. I highly recommend her and plan on connecting with her in the future if I need cat sitting.”

“Natalie was so amazing with our two kitties! :) We are slightly anxious leaving our kitties when we need to go out of town, but she is both meticulous in taking care of their food etc. and very playful when it comes to getting their energy out and playing with them!”

“We cannot thank Hannah enough for the incredible care she provided for our two cats over 15 days. One of our cats fell very sick right before our trip—he was lethargic, malnourished, and required daily medication and a special ointment for his ears. We were so worried about leaving him, but Hannah put us completely at ease. When we returned, our sick cat was like a different animal—he had gained weight, was active, and clearly felt much better. It’s clear that Hannah went above and beyond to ensure he received his medication and care with patience and love. On top of that, our cats are messy eaters, but when we came home, the apartment was spotless. Hannah even cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, which we greatly appreciated. Hannah’s dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Michelle went way beyond the call of duty. She was wonderful with my dog and cat. I have used Michelle before when I was out of town, and I will certainly use her again. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Michelle!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny lapdogs to 100+ pound pups who are convinced they’re lapdogs too! In recent years, cats have become a big part of my life as well, and I’ve grown to appreciate each cat’s unique personality and needs. As a caregiver by nature, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and plenty of companionship. I currently work as a child caregiver 9-5. Once I’m off for the day I will immediately check on your fur baby and give them all the love and care they need! Your pet’s safety comes first! I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor behavior, maintain routines, and provide a calm, secure, loving environment while you’re away.

“Maria did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was super communicative and gave great updates and pictures, and gave my cat lots of pets and love--when we came home our cat was happy and in a great mood thanks to Maria's amazing care. Thank you again Maria!”

Gretchen S.

“Emi is fantastic! She takes great care of my puppy, and follows all of the detailed instructions I leave. She even takes the extra care to do teach my puppy new things and do training sessions which have been incredibly helpful at home. Emi always leaves a detailed care card with everything she’s done with my pup. I trust her and 100% would book her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life! Love being around dogs, whether it be playing and running or just chilling on the couch. Recently moved to a place where I can’t have pets, so caring for other people’s fur babies is the next best thing! I work a full time desk job, so I have plenty of energy to play, run around, and be active with dogs throughout the day. They give me an excuse to get away from my desk! Years and years of caring for dogs has given me the experience of identifying the comfort level of animals. I am honest and trustworty. I want to keep my regulars and want them to trust that I will care for their precious animals.
