Pet Sitting Outer Sunset

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!

About: I have professional experience as a Pet Care Assistant, providing safe, attentive care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also raised and trained puppies through Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I taught basic obedience, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. My hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals allow me to provide reliable, compassionate care that pet owners can trust. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I am dependable, organized, and committed to providing consistent, reliable care. My top priority is keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. In my clients’ homes, I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions if needed, exercise routines, and any specific care requests. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior and use positive reinforcement and calm handling techniques to help them feel secure. I also maintain a clean environment, ensure doors and gates remain secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care.

“Jennifer was great! She was very responsive and got along super well with my normally shy cats. Highly recommend.”

“Mikele was so thoughtful while caring for Leo & Luna. We are so appreciative of all the updates and photos we received while traveling. We would absolutely love to have them help out again!”

About: I’m at Fort Funston or Pine Lake Park or one of the many petlands nearby. I’ve been a dog friend with my own dog family for over 20 years. We talk to each other frequently I’m retired and flexible, able to provide loving care with relatively little notice. I generally go on two longer walks each day where the dogs exercise me I have a fenced back yard in the Parkside/Sunset and own our home with my spouse and Zeke, our beagle mix. It is safe and secure

“Nick was great!! Was very patient and gentle with our sweet skittish dog and managed to get her to warm up to him. Was very professional, friendly, and the exact right amount of communicative. Followed instructions great and went above and beyond. Will definitely book with him again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and rabbits since I was about six. My family was big on foster caring all throughout my childhood, and we’d rotate different animals every other month or so. I grew up with two cats and a dog (a mutt from the shelter), and now I currently own two cats in San Francisco—Rosie and Sebastian. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for my upstairs neighbor, my sister, and my mom who owns a Pit Bull/bull dog mix. I also stay at a ranch in Colorado a few times a year for weeks at a time where I look after the ranch owners’ animals (two dogs, including a Grey Wolfhound, two horses, a miniature donkey, Icelandic sheep, and chickens). Suffice to say, I absolutely love all animals! My work schedule is flexible, so I’m available most days for one or two hour-long walks. I also work remotely, so I’m available to work from your apartment to look after your dog and take them on potty breaks, or to spend time with your kitties. I have cared for animals in so many situations, so I’m very happy to care for your animal as you prefer, whether that’s crating, having them sleep on the bed, one walk a day, or many walks a day. I have also cared for cats that are only indoor and cats who are indoor/outdoor, so I can be flexible according to your preferences.

About: Hi there! I grew up caring and raising for 5 dogs up until I went to college. During COVID my family and I adopted a Doberman/German Shepherd puppy from a rescue and I spent the next 2 years caring and training him before I moved back to SF. I adopted a Goldendoodle puppy, Barley, about 3 years ago. Raising a puppy on your own is not easy, but I've learned a lot! My own pup is anxious and takes time to warm up to strangers and other dogs. I've worked hard to combat his reactivity through training and am proud to say we have made lots of progress. I am truly a dog lover and deeply care for any dog that comes my way. Throughout my time with my own dogs, I have also looked after my family & friend's pups as well. I have a great understanding on how to care for dogs from their puppy stage, into their teens phase, then into their senior years. With my past experiences with many dogs, I feel well equipped to help take care of pups of all ages, sizes and behavioral quirks. I currently have a hybrid full-time work schedule! I am typically in the office on Tues/Thurs and am available in the evenings after work. I work from home on the other days. My personal schedule is very flexible so I am more than happy to chat through schedules to see what works for you and your pup! I will always suggest a meet and greet before confirming a booking to ensure that you and your pup are both comfortable with me! I will take detailed notes on how you'd like me to spend a drop-in visit or walk with your dog. Your dog's needs will be met and I will make sure they have some fun at the same time.

About: I grew up living with and taking care of two dogs, a cat and a bunny! I was a neighborhood babysitter, pet-sitter and house-sitter for most of my time in high-school. After I came to college, I wasn't as well-connected with my neighbors and didn't have a pet of my own which forced me into a brief stint of pet-less life :(( I just graduated from UC Berkeley and am super excited to restart my pet-care journey! I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley who will be working remotely, so I will have a lot of time on my hands! No set schedule yet, but will have flexible hours. I have great intuition when it comes to pet-care and am excited to be communicative about what your pets' specific needs are! I am super comfortable staying the night and/or house sitting if that is what your furry friend needs.

“Wei was amazing and so thorough with instructions, and she sent such great photos of our kitties while we were traveling. We had no worries while away that our cats were well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”

Krista S.

“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!”

About: I take caring for your fur babies seriously—whether it’s a daily walk or an overnight stay. I’ve been trusted by close friends and even my boss to provide reliable, loving overnight care for their pets, knowing I’ll treat them like family. I also have experience fostering rescue dogs with special needs. One was visually impaired, and another was recovering from a fractured hip after a hit-and-run. I nursed both back to health with patience and compassion, and today they’re thriving in their forever homes. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or staying overnight, I bring a calm, attentive presence and a genuine love for animals. Currently, working from home! So I'd be happy to have a furry co-worker with me during the day. Weekends I can be available for overnights. At my home, dogs can enjoy a fenced backyard or my neighborhood has lots of grassy areas for stress-free potty breaks and peaceful strolls. I also have a crate available for small to medium-sized dogs who feel more secure with their own cozy space. When I walk dogs, I go at their pace—stopping for sniffs, water, or just a break when needed. I believe walks should be enjoyable and tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in a familiar space. I’m tidy, respectful, and always alert to your pet’s needs, whether it’s playtime, medication, or simply companionship.

About: We are a couple who both work from home, have a fenced in backyard and frequent stern grove park for walks. We currently have a dog we rescued that plays great with other dogs and can keep your dog company while you’re away! Andrew & Keri both work from home and can take your pet on long walks. We can let your dog out as much as needed throughout the day on any day of the week since our backyard is off of Keri’s office. With a 3 bedroom house, your dog will have lots of space. We also have a fenced in backyard with turf and dirt for your dog to go to the bathroom / spend time outside during the day.

“Amazing job! Reliable and thorough, and was very good at keeping me updated through the day. Would definitely hire again!”

Qais T.

“Dave was great! We loved the humor in the updates, and it seemed like even our shy cat warmed up to him quickly. The house was in perfect condition and both cats were healthy and happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend him for pet sitting!”

About: Hi, I’m Sam! A San Francisco dog mom to Lenny, a one-year-old mini dachshund. Caring for him has made me a more observant and intentional caregiver, and I bring that same attentiveness to every dog I work with. I offer drop-in visits and walks with a focus on keeping your dog’s routine intact. I’m structured, reliable, and highly attuned to dog behavior. I give every pup space to warm up at their own pace, which tends to build trust quickly. You’ll get consistent communication and photo updates without having to ask. Lenny has set a high bar, and I hold myself to it with every dog I care for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work independently and have a flexible schedule. Consistency matters to me, and my schedule and routine reflects that. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I’d want shown to my own. I’m tidy, attentive, and leave things exactly as I found them. For drop-in visits and walks, my focus is on your pet’s routine, such as, feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise on their schedule and environment. I’m observant about the little things: making sure doors are secure, checking that your dog is settled before I leave, and flagging anything that seems off.

About: Since I was 10 I have had dogs in my life. From the loving ones who to sit and be pet to the ones who are busy busy busy and need a job, I have experienced most of the likes of pets. As for personalities, I can take care of the overly anxious ones to the super social ones. So if you need a couch potato for your pet, or a marathon runner, I can be your sitter! I love them all! I work out regularly (2-3 hrs) either at the gym or running outside so that can be extra convenient if your pet is active as well! I am also doing school part time (1-3 hrs). Other than that, the rest of my day is open! I live in a duplex with no other animals. Lots of open space for them to roam around. Also very close to Golden Gate park for longer excursions.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life so I have extensive experience caring for them. Now I have 3 dogs (2 pugs and a pitbull) that I walk, feed, and spend time with everyday so I’m definitely cut out for the job! I may be an extreme dog person but I do also have a cat and I have cat sat before. I am not currently employed elsewhere so I would be able to put my full time and attention into aiding your cat or dog! I’m typically available most days of the week especially in the afternoon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to know that your pet is safe so I can confidently ensure you that safety is my top priority while handling your pet.

“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 provide reliable, attentive care that is tailored to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a calm, familiar environment, my goal is to make every visit a positive, stress-free experience. I take the time to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box maintenance, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I understand that every pet is different—some dogs love to stay active, while some cats enjoy quiet companionship and gentle attention. I always respect each pet's comfort level and allow them to interact at their own pace, helping them feel safe and secure while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats who benefit from a slower pace, extra patience, and a little more attention throughout the day. My priority is making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy in their own home. I pride myself on being punctual, dependable, and easy to communicate with. If something comes up or you need help with a last-minute booking, I'm always happy to assist whenever my schedule allows. Throughout each visit, I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. That's why I always treat your home with care and respect, leaving it clean and just as I found it. If needed, I'm happy to help with light household tasks such as washing dishes, vacuuming, and taking out the trash. My mother has worked in professional cleaning for over 30 years, so lending a hand and paying attention to the little details has always come naturally to me. Above all, safety is my top priority. I treat every dog and cat with patience, kindness, and respect, caring for them as if they were my own. My goal is to build lasting trust with both pets and their owners by providing dependable, compassionate care that you can count on every time. Pet care is the focus of my day! Because I specialize in low-stress indoor care, my routine revolves entirely around keeping your pets safe, happy, and strictly on their preferred schedules. I love providing interactive indoor playtime with plenty of toys, followed by calm companionship. As a dedicated pet lover, I bring hands-on experience caring for my own 3-year-old rabbit, Mandolin, and regularly pet-sitting my friend’s beautiful Maine Coons. I plan every day carefully around your pet's unique feeding or attention needs to ensure they feel entirely pampered while you are away. I provide dedicated care directly in your pet's comfortable home environment! Based out of a safe, quiet neighborhood near Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach, I am perfectly positioned to travel quickly to your location. I am highly detail-oriented and strictly follow every instruction provided by my clients to ensure your cats, dogs or rabbits maintain their exact daily routines without any added stress.
