Pet Sitting Outer Sunset

“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: 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.

“Nick went above and beyond providing care for our pets! He kept us updated with many photos and details on their walks. He also has experience with reactivity which we appreciated for our reactive dog.”

About: I have had my own dogs for the last 25 years and am the aunt to many dogs in the family and in the neighborhood. All the pups know I carry around treats! I have experience with a wide range of breeds. I am a very active person so your dog is sure to go on many walks followed by naps! I am retired so I am available whenever. With my last dog, a yellow Labrador named Kesha, I went on about 4 walks a day. My house is two levels and your dog is free to roam around as they wish. I have a backyard on the ground level so if hosting a senior dog, they won't have to use the stairs.

“Taty is fantastic! She takes it slow with Hedgie (he can be a little nervous/has some anxiety) and is an excellent communicator. We’re so lucky to have her care!”

About: It is never easy leaving your pup in the care of others while away. I strive to provide a 5-star experience for my guests. I work from home with flexible hours, so your pup will enjoy constant companionship with occasional crossword puzzles (unless math is their preferred subject). Your pup's days will be filled with activities, belly rubs and quality conversation at the dinner table. I have 25 years of experience caring for dogs, and 7 of which fostering and training shelter dogs of various age and breed using positive reinforcement. I help dogs thrive with holistic care and support. My goal is to send my guests home happy and well-cared for. I integrate pet care into my daily schedule with: *Constant companionship: I work from home with flexible hours, your pet is never left waiting for attention. *Basics: appropriate treats and regularly refreshed water bowls, and a flood of affection. *Tailored Fitness: guaranteed minimum of 2 daily walks, adjusted to your dog's needs (from long, athletic trail walks to short, gentle potty breaks). *Routine preservation: I honor your dog's specific home schedule to prevent any stress or disruption while you are away. I have a fence in yard. My guests can use the doggie door anytime to access the yard. They can roam free in the house. I have several dog beds in the house and they can lounge in the sun. I am very conscientious about not leaving food or trash out to keep my guests safe. Overall, life in the house is peaceful with outings to engage them physically and mentally. I follow clients' specific instructions and routines to keep my guests comfortable and safe in my care.

“She went above and beyond! Very happy that I found Tara. Descriptive about everything that went down each visit. Sent videos of proof that one of my cats got his pills twice a day. Sent pics that ensured doors were locked. She was on top of it. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hellooo I’m Merci! 🌻 As a previous dog and cat owner (amongst other animals), I have significant experience with caring for them and would love to assist your family with your pet care needs!🌻 I’m currently in school and working part time. I like to go in walks throughout the day to help clear my mind, so walking dogs is no problem. For pet sitting, I’m open to the needs of the owners and pets. I follow routines already put in place or I can help to develop one to best serve the owners and pets. I’m ok with cleaning up after pets as long as I’m aware of where the cleaning materials are. I will use caution and ask for assistance if any special fabric, carpeting, or furniture has been affected.

About: *covid-19 vaxxed and boosted* Hi! I’m a Bay Area grown college student. I’ve lived in the city for 3 years now and have grown up taking care of dogs, mainly large sized ones. I love being with animals in general, so doing this as a side job is almost more like a hobby I’m passionate about and paid for :) Many friends, family, and neighbors have had me sit for them for many years! I aim to engage with dogs and play with them how they want to be played with. I will treat your dogs and pets like family, the same way I treated mine growing up. My approach to caring for animals is first to follow the owners instructions and pets body language. I follow this up with loving and disciplined quality engagement. I always follow instructions and aim to do whatever possible for your pet to have a vacation as well as you! . I’m open to small, medium, and large dogs and have experience caring for cats as well. I click best with medium energy dogs that I can take out to a park or the beach, but also cuddle with while watching a movie. I have several roommates, so your pet can look forward to near 24/7 attention, even when I’m not home. I look forward to hearing from you soon and looking after your lovely pet! I attend school and work part time. I’m home all days of the week except for Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s, when I have work/class for about 6hrs. What this means for your pet is expecting to not be alone for more than 4-6hrs at a time. Things can always be arranged if your pet needs more attentive care, please communicate with me for accommodations! Your pet will have access to the entire house, with the backyard accessible if needed. When home alone, pets can roam throughout house, and will most likely float to whichever roommate is there to love them. I love including pets into parts of my day like joining me for an errand (with the owner’s permission).

About: I’ve got a 4-year-old Chweenie of my own, so I know the whole range: the zoomies, the separation anxiety, the “why won’t you eat your food but you’ll steal mine” moments. Growing up with cats and dogs means I’m used to reading their moods, catching early signs something’s off, and knowing when a walk needs to turn into a slow sniff-everything stroll instead of a power walk. New to Rover but I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting around San Francisco for some time now, so I’m comfortable with a range of breeds and temperaments, not just the easy, food-motivated ones, but the anxious ones, the reactive-on-leash ones, the ones who need a minute to warm up to a stranger before they’ll take a treat from your hand. I’m patient with that. I don’t rush a nervous dog, and I don’t force interactions. Whether it’s a quick midday potty break, a full day of sitting, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re the only one on my schedule that day! Consistent routine, plenty of attention, and updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m currently on a gap year — using this time to study and save up before heading into grad school, so my schedule is wide open. No 9-to-5 pulling me away, no last-minute “sorry, something came up.” I can do early morning walks before the day gets busy, midday drop-ins, evening feedings, or overnight/multi-day stays if you’re traveling. I’m based nearby and can usually work around your timing rather than the other way around — if your schedule shifts last minute, I’m easy to reach and quick to adjust. Your pet’s safety is never something I’m relaxed about. I always double check gates, leashes, and doors before letting anyone off leash or out into a yard. My own dog has taught me how fast a small dog can slip through a gap you didn’t think was a gap. I keep a close eye during play so things don’t get too rough, and I always have water available and know where the nearest emergency vet is before I start a job, just in case. I treat every home I’m in like it’s not mine. I respect your space, keep things tidy, lock up the way you had it, and don’t invite anyone else over while I’m looking after your pet. Same goes for your pet themselves. I don’t force anything on them. If a dog needs space before they trust me, I give them that space. Trust isn’t something I expect on day one. I earn it by showing up, paying attention, and being the same reliable person every single time. Communication is a big part of this too, so you’ll get updates and photos while you’re away.

“Noel was absolutely amazing at visiting my cat Mochi every day while I was on vacation. By the second day, Mochi was already comfortable with her and ready to get lots of pets and cuddles! She followed all instructions, made sure he had his breakfast and clean litter, and left the house in perfect order. I'm super happy to have found such a great caretaker in the neighborhood and will definitely ask Noel to look in again when I'm away.”

“Page took very good care of our cat while we were out of town. She was quick to respond to us and sent plenty of pictures and updates. I would definitely book her again!”

Karen S.

“Noel has been great with Xander my senior pup. She is very attentive and caring. She pays attention to details and takes great pictures. I know they have good times together. 😃”

About: I am a huge animal lover, all animals included! I can provide any services that you would need for your pet. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including ones with illnesses that require special care. I am an active person, so keeping your dog or cat active and engaged is not a problem. For older pets or pets with disabilities I have no problem attending to their particular needs as well. I am a part-time student have a lot of flexibility within my schedule. I have no problem studying from your home to entertain, cuddle, and/or walk your pet! Also happy to provide drop-ins for walks during the day. Your house, your rules! I have worked for senior animals that require a calm and quiet environment as well as more active pets that need someone to get their energy out and play with. If I’m in your home, I always make sure to leave it better than I found it.

“Anurag was wonderful with my pittie mix Mo, who can be dog reactive and sensitive but is also a love, affectionate and a bit anxious, while I was gone for 24 hours! Long walks, potty breaks and meals - all went smoothly. Lots of pictures and he gave Mo his time and care. Will book again!”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and dispositions. From tiny toy breeds to giant breed dogs, I understand and cater to the unique needs of every canine companion. I’m confident in handling reactive dogs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, and I excel in caring for energetic puppies as well as senior dogs needing extra patience and compassion. I have hands-on experience administering medications, including giving injections when needed, ensuring the process is as stress-free as possible for the dog. Additionally, I provide baths and some grooming services, keeping your furry friend looking and feeling their best. Every dog in my care receives personalized attention and thoughtful care tailored to their individual needs. I'm usually available most days. I walk my dogs several times a day. Your pup can join us on our walks or I can do individual walks. I do offer limited in home boarding for well behaved pups. I would need to meet them and spend a little time with them first before accepting boarding requests. Please contact me for more information or to discuss your needs.

“Super communicative and accommodating sitter. Would definitely book again. Our dog is a bit anxious but seems like even by the end of Ivonne’s 30 min drop in, Martini seemed like she warmed up and snuggled.”

About: Raised with dogs, birds, and cats I have experience caring for a variety of animals across different species. I additionally have an ample amount of experience both dog and cat sitting, and particularly have been called a cat whisperer by many. I'm currently working part time and am always about so both everyday pet sits and dog walks are perfect for me. I'm a writer and avid reader so if your pet needs some simple cuddles and affection we can sit down and read together. I treat others' spaces with even more tact and respect than my own. I resolve to follow any rules on both where pets and I should be and do my best to respect the space of my animals as well to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

“Vivian went above and beyond to check in and watch my dog. I was pretty anxious to have a sitter come because my dog is shy and sometimes reactive, but Vivian handled her so well and gave me such a detailed report and so many pictures, I felt so at ease and knew my girl was in capable hands. I will absolutely be booking with Vivian again and feel so lucky to have found them!!”

About: Growing up, I was the main caretaker for my Shih Tzu for most of my childhood and teenage years until she passed at 13 a few years ago. I have cat sat for friends and now regularly care for my boyfriend’s two large English Labradors whom I love with my whole heart. I am currently a full time college student and a part time worker, however I have free weekends and tend to have free weekdays after 2 pm. I am a very attentive caretaker who loves to sit and spend quality time with your pet! I love going for walks, playing with toys, or sitting with them to keep them company. I plan to take care of your pet in exactly the same way that I would want mine taken care of.
