About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.
About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs (Schnauzer, Labrador, 3x Jack Russell, 2x Border Collie, 2x Irish Setter) since I have a memory. Today, I take care of my three year old Vizsla and on occasions my friend’s dogs: German Shorthaired Pointer and a Mexican Hairless Dog (both every active and energetic breeds). For daycare and bording your dog will enjoy 4-8 hours of time outside of the house EVERY DAY: walks, dog park visits, hikes, beach day, etc. I’m currently in a break from the corporate life and spend a ton of time walking through Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, Ocean and Baker beach. For overnight bording I’d meet your furry friend in advance. At home I have a fenced yard. For walks we go to the beach, meadows and dog parks.
About: I’ve been a professional dog groomer for over 7 years, and before that I spent 2.5 years working at an animal shelter. Those experiences gave me not only hands-on knowledge with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, but also a deep understanding of how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. What sets me apart is the unique combination of my professional grooming background and my shelter experience. I know how to handle pets with different personalities from shy rescues who need extra patience, to high energy pups who crave play and engagement. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a side job, it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times. Because my grooming schedule is only 3–4 days a week, I have extra time that I’d love to dedicate to helping care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, both in the grooming salon and outside of it. I believe every pet should feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of the family.
“Mick was a great drop in cat sitter. He was quick and responsive and always punctual. Our cats take a while to warm up to people so they didn't develop a close bond with Mick. However, the important thing is they were well fed and energetic when we came back from vacation.”

About: I’ve raised two puppies, one on my own. I have had two dogs of my own since I was 23 going on 5 years now. I have pet sat for over a decade starting when I was 17. I have taken care of hospice greyhound dogs to ten pigeons to cats, and bunnies. I helped co-parent my friend’s dog for the first three years of her life. I fully trained my own puppy. I’ve pet sat 3 dogs at once with my own. I fostered two dogs in my space both for stings over 3 months before rehoming them in very safe and loving homes. I am currently unemployed for the next month and a half while I await my next job and have plenty of time as a result. I would prefer to work as much as possible. I vet all animals heavily. I have a mandatory 30 min walk prior to even committing to boarding with all dogs and owners involved. I refuse to take any dogs that my dogs do not get along with at the meet and greet. Safety is imperative for all parties involved including myself and my own dogs. My dogs are muzzled the entire time we have animal guests over.

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.”

I've never had an issue with him as a dog sitter and I've recommended him to many of my friends. My dog is typically very timid with new people but took to Darrick very easily.
