About: I grew up taking care of my two dogs: an energetic spaniel pup and a sweet golden retriever. I believe every dog has their own quirks and likes. Excited to unlock a new friend! I’m experienced in puppy training basics, senior dog care and tons of playtime. I will be more than happy to give your special pupper the care and love they need. Availability: Mon-Fri —> early morning, afternoons, and late evening Sat & Sun —> available any time of the day with advanced booking Please inquire for multi-day booking. The pet(s) will be leashed on walks outside at all times. Only in fenced area/dog parks the pet(s) can go off leash if the owner permits.

“Jennifer was a great sitter! We had a last min issue with someone else and when I reached out to Jennifer, they were quick to respond and schedule a meet/greet. They were always on time, reliable, and sweet with our cat Remy. Thank you!”

About: I grew up around pitbulls, and have had the pleasure of owning two beautiful boys. I provided them with lots of attention, walks, treats, and care. I am comfortable with big dogs and know what it’s like to take them on walks. I have also taken care of my abuela’s poodles, so I have experience with smaller dogs as well. I am also very familiar with taking care of cats! I have catsat for my friend’s multiple times. One was a kitten and the rest were adults. I just now have a cat who is about 3 months old so I provide him with lots of stimulation and cuddles! I am in between jobs so I am available throughout the weekdays. I usually break my day up with walks throughout, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am a very patient person and know how to provide care and love to all animals. I will take the time to get to know their personalities and interests so that they feel comfortable and excited around me. I am also good at following routines so that nothing feels out of the ordinary!

About: I've had a rescue dog named Boo, she was a senior cockerspaniel that lived for 16 years. She had low energy, was very calm, and easy to take care of. I understand for a senior dog you need to take your time with them. I've also dealt with a senior German Shepherd who has Degenerative Myelopathy. I had to express his anal glands/ bladder and change his diapers I'm currently working part-time, so i'll have time to take care of your dogs! I'm free almost everyday except when i have to work at the dog kennel and the food truck I have a fenced backyard and a room for the dog to live in. At my clients home, ill be attentive and keep the dog company.

About: I was born with 2 Dachshunds in the family that I wrestled within my first years of learning to crawl and have lived with a dog most years of my life. I once had a Doberman Pincher whom I raised & turned into a service dog in the Air Force when I was given an overseas assignment and couldn't take him. For years I had a diabetic Chow Chow that I could leave in the back of a convertible car with the roof down on Hollywood Blvd by the Chinese Theater while I went to a show and knew the car and puppy would be as I left them hours earlier (Note: that was the 1990s... Hollywood Blvd. is a different animal now). I’ve tackled Pit Bulls mistaking my 5 lb. Chihuahua for a squirrel. I’ve crossed paths with multiple coyotes with my Chi’s in the Presidio & have great accuracy throwing rocks. I'm an IT engineer who works at home and sits long periods & my dogs absolutely motivate me to exercise with them daily and there are many places to do so in Dog City, USA! I've been working remotely and keep my pups with me. We exercise daily at the beach, Presidio or at any of the great parks in the area. We would go to Ocean Beach more often if not for all of the stinky stuff that washes up on shore that they just can't resist rolling around in (a dead walrus tops a skunk's stink by a mile) necessitating a bath(s).... in tomato juice? Safety is critical! I have a fenced yard which makes dogs possible in the city. They are never exposed to the street, so there’s zero chance of a mishap with escaping. I usually take my McNab/Border Collies (who were raised by Chihuahuas 😊) to Crissy Field, the Presidio, the Beach or Golden Gate dog park daily, so my dogs are quite social

About: Hi everyone!! I am a recent graduate of USF and an SF native. I'm especially well versed in puppies, as I have been a puppy foster for the SFSPCA and an in-shelter puppy volunteer for 8 years. I have two dogs of my own! I love working with dogs and I am also able and confident in socializing puppies to set them up for success and healthy adulthood —along with helping puppy and new dog parents! I am flexible throughout the day and week as I am currently preparing for grad school without other obligations. I also am pretty knowledgeable about walking spots and parks in SF so I would make sure your pup has a fun, enriching time! I’m very good at following directions with feeding, medication, as well as other needs that the pup has! I’ll be in constant contact with updates if needed—the safety and security of pets is the most important to me!

“Trae is so kind and the dogs loved him! He has amazing communication skills and went above and beyond for our fur family. I’m definitely using him again for our boys! Thank you Trae!”

About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights. I’m also comfortable caring for smaller dogs, and have experience with terrier mixes and pugs. I’m available all day every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I can be flexible to meet your needs! On Fridays and weekends, I’m available only in the evening. I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.

About: Hello, I'm Spryng:) I've had a dog for most of my life, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I'm a huge nature lover and spend a lot of time outdoors, so your pup will always get fresh air, movement, and lots of attention. I have a very warm, calm personality and love building trust with animals at their own pace. I also have a "puphew" who I adore and care for often! I joined Wag! because I'm not currently in a position to have my own dog, but I truly miss being around them and love being of service however I can. I'll treat your dog with the same love and care I would my own 🤍 I’m currently working full time, but i WFH monday & friday & am always home on the weekend! I enjoy going outside everyday so your dog will have a good balance between in door & outdoor! i live right next to GGP :) perfect for walks and sleepovers! in a studio apartment as well. Spacious enough for larger dogs & for zoomies!!

About: Loving dog parent to a 4-year-old Rough Collie, experienced in daily walks, feeding, grooming, routines, and patient care, providing calm, reliable, home-style attention every weekend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I carefully manage my schedule so every pet receives plenty of attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I only accept bookings that I can fully support, so your pet gets the consistent care and attention they deserve “Safety and trust are my top priorities. I’m a dog parent myself and understand daily routines, supervision, and consistency. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and ensure calm, attentive care. In my home, dogs are welcomed into a clean, dog-friendly space alongside my well-socialized Rough Collie. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, follow routines exactly, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.”

“Sara was fantastic! Our dog was happily sleeping the rest of the day.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 11yrs and love to train dogs and puppies! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I'll take care of your dog as if they were my own! I’ll ask about any special needs or accommodations for the walks. Happy to do a meet and greet before hand if that helps. I'm originally from the Bay Area and just spent 7 yrs in NYC. I love being back in CA and exploring the outdoors with man's best friend!! Work from home, flexible schedule. I usually like to take dogs out around 7 or 8am and then again around 4 or 5pm for sunsets. I can also do short walks in between. I have extensive experience with high energy dogs. I have dog beds and food bowls and high quality treats. I make sure to accommodate so that your dog feels at home!

“Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!”

“Sarah is a fabulous pet sitter and so good to my pup. Lucky to have her!”

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as simply watching a dog—I see it as becoming part of their little world while they’re in my care. I have years of experience caring for my own pets and dog sitting for friends and family, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m also studying Animal Behavior with an emphasis on Companion Animal Behavior, so I’m passionate about understanding each dog’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, loved, understood, and genuinely happy while they’re with me. My schedule is very flexible! I work super part-time while taking classes, which gives me plenty of availability to accommodate different pet-sitting needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can often be flexible with weekdays, weekends, walks, drop-ins, and longer stays. I’ll always do my best to make caring for your pup as convenient and stress-free as possible. Whether your pup stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I welcome dogs into my home who are comfortable around other dogs, and I have my home set up with a variety of training and dog-care equipment to help make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the philosophy of **“leave it better than when you came in.”** I am extremely respectful of your space, your routines, and your home. I take pride in being clean, responsible, and discreet—so much so that you may come home wondering if I was even there, except for your happy pup waiting to greet you!

“Rachel was great. Very communicative and asked important questions. My cat seemed happy upon my return and all was good.”

“Lucia was great with our special needs pup. We recently started fostering her, and she was dubious about strangers. Lucia handled it like a champ, even planning ahead and bringing high-interest treats! I highly recommend Lucia, she clearly cares about animals and understands their needs.”

About: I've had about 30 dogs throughout my life. My last dog Lola was a fully trained service dog. I seem to understand dogs and they understand me. I've never been bitten, and I'm well-versed in training dogs in a very kind and gentle way. I've always dreamed of being a dog sitter and finally, at this point in my life, I have the time to fulfill my lifelong dream. I'm responsible, and physically fit which allows me to handle multiple dogs when necessary. If the owner wants their dog to go on a long hike or a brisk walk it's something I can easily provide. This allows me to work with dogs of all ages and sizes. I've had experience in training many types of dogs including crate training puppies. I specialize in working with larger dogs typically in the 50 to 90+ lbs range. I watch my partner's 90 lbs dog regularly and I also watch two of her children's dogs which are 90 and 70 lbs. I have two daughters who grew up with many dogs from puppies to fully grown rescue dogs. There are many children who have never learned how to approach and interact with dogs. One of my passions is helping children learn how to approach a dog and learn the proper way to interact and get to know them. Especially, those who are scared and unfamiliar with the behaviors of different dogs. I'm primarily a writer and still do some IT Consultant project work. Taking care of dogs gives me the freedom to do the two things I love the most. Writing and hanging out with dogs. I have the freedom to be available when needed by the dog owner and have a very flexible schedule. I live in the Outer Richmond. I'm just a few blocks away from Lands End, Ocean Beach, and Golden Gate Park. I prefer to work with clients in the Presidio. Lincoln Park. Inner, Central, and Outer Richmond. Seaclift, Inter, Central, and Outer Sunset. Most of my work is done at the client's home and in the area. I'm very respectful of a client's home and property. My references can attest to the fact that I keep things clean and orderly. It's my policy to leave a client's home exactly as they left it. I have a clean and safe fenced-in backyard. While I live in a large 3-bedroom 2-bath flat I believe most dogs would enjoy the environment around me and not being stuck inside. I specialize in working with large dogs typically between 50 and 90 lbs. I've had well over 30 dogs throughout my life and have trained many of them. I fundamentally believe that a dog should have the most enjoyable life possible. They have a relatively short life span and should be allowed to be dogs within certain limits. In addition, I will always follow the directions given to me by the owner.
