1. Kira K.


“Kira came to meet our dog Monty, who is a reactive rescue pup, and while it didn't work out (Monty was very reactive that day), Kira was very kind, patient, and eager to try to bond with Monty. I'm hopeful we'll have another opportunity to work with her when Monty is in a better place!”

“Jason has done a wonderful job caring for my little dog Lucy during regular midday walks. He has been easy to communicate with and has been very reliable. I always receive lots of pictures of her during visits which I love, as well as updates on how she’s doing. I highly recommend him for dog walking!”


6. Elena D.
“Elena is dedicated to animals. All her life she has cared for her own personal pets and dedicated a good part of her education to the environment for the betterment of the animals in nature. She has complete empathy with animals and goes above and beyond the usual care for the pets in her charge. She is loving, patient, all – giving to animals… Her own and others I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver because I believe you won’t find anyone better. She is highly qualified, highly empathetic and very nurturing.”


7. Lyzbeth R.
“Lyz is a fantastic doggie babysitter and has looked after our Zoe since we adopted her. She’s gentle, loving and sends lots of updates via text and pictures hugging and comforting our not-so-little baby. Her kids are great with pets - her son even did some training while we were gone! Highly recommend her if you want someone who will look after your pet like their own ❤️”


8. Jen T.

“Jen was super helpful and responsive. I had an urgent need of a dog walker, and I was glad Jen responded to me very quickly and was willing to help. Highly recommended!”


9. Karen & Jeffrey C.
About: We are parents to a wonderful rescued chihuahua terrier who is our world. We'll take care of your pet as if they were our own. I have a somewhat flexible work schedule and my partner works from home. Between the two of us, your pet will be well-taken care of! We have a very large fenced in backyard which is a rarity in SF. The dogs will have supervised unleashed roaming and a chance for a backyard sniffari. We would love to meet your pet to make sure it's a good fit, and we would follow instructions from the pet parents to a tee. We'll also send many photos because we know how much you miss your pets when you're away!


10. Jana M.
“Jana regualrly takes care of my 16 yr Australian cattle dog. My dog has specific needs due to her age, and Jana went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for. She was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure to follow all of our instructions regarding my dog being deaf and her mobility requirements. It did feel like she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to care for senior pets. I always, because of my dog's age ask for and receive regular updates via text and photos I do recommend Jana if you are looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter for older dogs who need a bit of attention.”


11. Jon Carlo D.

“Jon is absolutely wonderful with our pup. We had a meet and greet with him prior to our first booking, the minute we met him, my pup was super friendly with him and Jon was gentle and kind with her. Being a dog parent himself it was like we spoke the same language. He understood a her behavior and was very much at ease right away. He is pleasant and easy to talk to, he understood all our guidelines for handling our pup and asked great questions. Clearly he cared and wanted to ensure a good experience. I felt safe having him drop in and walk our pup while we were away. He was prompt, provided feedback post walk and even brought our package from our porch and left it inside. I'm so happy to have found him and already booked my second request. Highly recommend Jon!”


12. Fiona M.

“Fiona has been an excellent regular walker for our pup. Highly recommend.”


13. Jason J.

“Oakley always looks forward seeing Jason and going for his walks and meeting dogs at the park. Thank you!”


14. Grace K.
“Grace has always had a dog in her family for as long as I can remember. She has raised dogs from when they were puppies to an old age with much love and care. Her dogs have had puppies in her own home and I’ve seen her take care of them with love. Although recently Grace is no longer living with her parents where her current dog resides, she is always willing to visit her parent's to be there for their senior dog to make sure that he is very well taken care of and watched after. To me that shows that she cares and has responsibility to prioritize the wellness of her pet over her own schedule. I think that Grace would be a great caregiver to any animal. She is also athletic and able to handle any breed of dog with gentle strength and confidence. She is cautious and caring when approaching new animals, which to me shows that she has the essence of a knowledgeable animal lover. I am excited to hear that she is interested in applying for this role!”


15. Ellie W.
“Ellie is the best! She’s been watching my pets and house sitting for me for a while now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else. My pets absolutely love her (they get so excited when she shows up!), and I always come home to a clean house and happy animals. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands while I’m away. Ellie’s super reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend!”


16. Tommy H.

“He's the best -- responsive, accommodating, reliable, and caring. He was especially kind and patient when my older, senior dog was failing and needed more assistance than usual. I would not hesitate to have him care for my pet.”


17. Grey I.

“Grey — thanks for walking my dog, Franklin, and taking such good care of him! I could tell from the many photos that he sent, that Franklin had a wonderful time . Grey was very professional and timely, and I will absolutely reach out again for more help with Franklin! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an attentive dog walker. Thanks Grey!”

20. Amber G.

“Amber was awesome! She was super friendly and Ziggy took to her right away. I really appreciated that she kept track of his pee and poo breaks, which made me feel at ease. Even though it was wet out, she made sure Ziggy came back completely dry. I'd definitely recommend her if you're looking for a walker who genuinely cares about your pet.”
