“Franklin had so much fun and came back home happy and tired from all the activities he did with Heidi and Lars family. They send a lot of pictures and a detail information about what they did with him and what Franklin did. We are happy with them!”

“So glad we met Edward! He took great care of our labradoodle, who can get very bad separation anxiety when we're away. I liked how Edward was thoughtful about bringing his dog outside to introduce her to our dog, and took them for a walk together right away so they could get to know each other. Edward's dog was very sweet and well behaved, and got along great with our dog. We are so thankful for Edward's help!”

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I have been in the dog walking/boarding business for my whole life and I’m excited to work with you guys. I’m always available. Super flexible for the times that work best with my clients. Usually 7:30am - 5pm but can work around that if needed. I have a huge backyard that is fenced off. Usually always have a couple of dogs all friendly. I have 2 of my own dogs that are always home and enjoy the space I have.

“Brianna and Alex are such a great find! They are easy going, fun, and attentive. Communication was great, and they sent tons of sweet pictures. We are new to the area, and I was very anxious about finding the right people to watch our sweet, little, needy Poppy. Well my prayers have been answered - thank goodness for Brianna and Alex. We will absolutely be using them many more times!!”

About: Hi! I'm Rafi, your local dog nanny. I'm a full-time commuter student at SFSU and a lifelong dog lover looking to help families near campus care for their pups! I grew up around labs and now have three rescue dogs of my own—a German Shepherd/Lab mix, a Pitbull/Catahoula, and a little Chihuahua mix. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I've been dog walking and pet sitting for family friends since 2018, but things really picked up during COVID when I was recommended to more and more people. Since then, I've practically been a full-time dog nanny! Most recently, I worked with an amazing local dog walking company based in Marin, but with school starting again, my schedule is a bit tighter so I'm focusing on helping families near SFSU on weekdays. However, I'm open for everyone Fridays-Sundays! Whether your dog needs walks, check-ins, long outings, or overnight stays, I'm here for it all. I don’t just “watch” dogs; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I can also provide references upon request! Hoping to meet you and your pup(s) soon! On Mondays-Thursdays, I have class from 8am-2pm but can pop in between breaks. Once classes are over, I'd love to take the pup on a long outing and spend time with them as long as you needed me to. On Fridays-weekends, my availability is very open so I can provide a walk twice a day or a long outing where we go on an adventure! I treat every dog as if they’re my own; all dogs will be pampered with love, won’t leave my sight, and will make sure they are safe 24/7. If you have any routines or specific needs for your dogs, i will make sure they are followed.

“Very glad we booked with Lucia again! She takes great care of our anxious dog. We really appreciate how she sends photos and updates during the day! Always grateful for her help.”

“Susana is an expert at taking care of dogs! She was so kind and sweet with our nervous dog, and helped him feel comfortable right away. Her home is set up to be a dog paradise, with lots of room for dogs to play and relax safely both indoors and out. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Staying with Noey is like the best day at dog camp, ever. She’s the friendliest dog lover who truly enjoys hosting play dates with her own two beautiful little furry guys. 5 stars for Noey. Best Rover In The Bay Area!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, my family loves animals. I took care of chickens, fish, frogs, and a baby kitten. I am very responsible, respectful, and gentle with animals. I can care for puppies with love and older dogs with tenderness, and enjoy making sure each furry friend feels special. I am currently a student, so I will be available to take care of your pets. I am able to give all my time to them. I have a fenced yard and a gate for inside the house. Safety is important. I pay attention to each animal’s special diet and activity needs.

“Cameron and his girlfriend picked our 2 labs up and took them for the day while we had a birthday party with lots of kiddos around. The girls came home looking so fresh and so clean and super happy, like they just had the time of their life. They're so tired now, old girls with young spirit. So glad we connected with Cameron on Rover.”

Megan M.

“Sophia and her family are incredible; I feel fortunate to have found them. Our dog doesn't spend much time away from us, so she can be a bit of a velcro dog who likes to spend a good chunk of her time close to people. Because of this, we prefer people with a good family vibe who want to include dogs in their daily lives. The first day I got that... "why are you doing this to me?" look but on the second day, I opened the door and she ran straight to the house. I never worried about Ellie because she was obviously in such great hands. Don't overthink this; if Sophia is available... reach out to her immediately. Highly recommend.”

“Laura and Joseph T did a wonderful job of watching our lab Angela. They sent check-in pictures which we enjoyed seeing. They moved her inside when she was getting hot outside. They have a nice backyard which a shade area as well so our dog had a comfortable stay. She had their dog to play with which was a plus. They are very pleasant and aim to please. I would definitely use them again.”

Wendy D.

“Christina and her husband were so great to work with! We really appreciated their amazing communication from the moment we requested to book. We also loved how they sent cute photos and videos of our dog so we knew he was having an amazing time! They took excellent care of him and made sure he got plenty of potty breaks. Our dog also got along really well with their dog, which helped him to be less stressed during his stay. We really appreciate Christina's help, and would be happy to book with her again!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments for 30 years. I have special training with service animals and retired (senior) service animals. I am a full-time dog care provider, so your pup will have my undivided attention! I will adhere to any feeding, walking, etc. schedule you prefer. My backyard is every dog’s happy place! Lots of grass, toys, water, and a fully secure, fenced yard with plenty of shaded areas to stay cool from the heat.

“Snow has such a great time there! This is the BEST decision I’ve made booking with Erin!”

Melissa W.

“I dropped my dogs off with Nancy for an afternoon of running errands and she lavished attention and affection on them and took them for 2 walks. We all were happy!”

Lisa T.

“We had a wedding to go and luckily found Randi to puppy-sit our two pups, Buster and Odie. It was such a relief to find someone who gave her full attention to our precious boys. Randi sent us videos while we were at the wedding and we thoroughly enjoyed the event knowing they were in good hands! We will definitely call on Randi for future dog-sitting needs. Thank you, Randi!!”
