Pet Sitting Outer Sunset

“Mikele was great. Listened carefully to all instructions and was a great communicator. Sam gradually warmed up to Mikele with trust. Meds were given and poop was scooped. Success. Thanks Mikele.”

“Alyssa was a great sitter for our two cats. Even though they are shy, she managed to make them warm up to her. She consistently gave us updates on each visit and we couldn’t be happier with her !”

About: Hi there! I have taken care of animals since I was 8, both on my grandpa’s farm and at my home. I began offering my pet care services in my neighborhood and have worked with pets of all ages, including seniors who need help with their medication and slow walks. I’ll adapt and learn how to best care for your friend. My goal is always the same: happy, loved pets with full little bellies. I’m currently working part-time but my job is very flexible. So I can ensure that I will always be able to make time in my schedule to care for, play with, and pamper your dog or kitty. I maintain a secure setting and follow your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared for. Also, I'll send you photos of your pet while they're in my care.

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!🌻 Please give me a heads up if parking is a challenge. 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.

“Great work and wonderful house sitter!”

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.

“Deirdre is wonderful. Right off the bat when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is warm, friendly and was great with Stella. She communicated and provided great pictures of her visit. I’m so happy to have found her and can’t wait to use her again.”

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.

“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’ve had many years of experience with pets due to growing up caring for my own family pets (~15 years w/ dogs & ~8 years w/ cats) and am planning on going to veterinary school in the future. I am well educated on pet behavior, have experience training dogs to do basic tricks, and can also give medications for pets (as per owner’s instructions). For now though, I am completing my undergraduate studies and would love to help my community care for their beloved pets by dropping in for checkups as well as taking dogs for walks. I’m currently doing undergraduate studies and internships, with pet sitting/dog walking as part time, so I may not be able to provide my services during days I have classes or work. Despite this, I will be providing services for days I’m free, such as weekends/fridays and will be updating my availability. I will be able to care for pets during drop-ins as per owner’s instructions. If the pet is limited to a certain room/yard during drop-ins and if there is anything I need to secure for the safety of the pet, that will be my top priority. During dog walks I’ll plan to walk your furry friend in neighborhood areas with low traffic to allow them to sniff and explore to their heart's content. My goal is to ensure that the pet returns home happily enriched with their energy well spent. I can provide pictures for owners and give updates on how your pet is doing. If there is any emergency regarding the pets, I will immediately contact the owner and let them know what happened, as well as call an emergency vet as per owner’s instructions.

“Ashley has taken wonderful care of our kitties while we were out of town twice now, including giving our senior cat his oral medication. We appreciate the great communication and pictures. Thank you Ashley!”

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.

“I love Mariam. She is sweet and attentive to the care for my cats. She is a great communicator and alway sends pictures and updates of her visit. This is my second time with her and I’ll definitely do it again!”

About: My family breeds show and hunting dogs of all shapes and sizes. I grew up caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and have worked at a doggy daycare managing both overnight stays and day visits. I’ve also worked one on one with special needs dogs, including blind, deaf, and diabetic seniors. I work part time and go to school in the evenings, so have plenty of time during the day to hang out with pets! I have my own apartment with no roommates or other animals, so can easily watch pets in my home. I have a one - bedroom apartment located next to Golden Gate Park. I live alone with no other animals, so can easily accommodate dogs or cats in my house. I am a San Francisco native and very comfortable traveling around the city to care for pets in other’s homes.

About: I have always been a pet person! Growing up I had several dogs and over the years I’ve acquired lots of experience with senior pets, puppies, and behaviorally challenged dogs. I work seasonally as a wildlife biologist and spend the rest of the year dog training and pet sitting. I have had extensive experience with administration of pet medications and bathing dogs. Additionally, I am a volunteer at the SFSPCA and have lots of practice working with and training dogs from all different backgrounds! (: I work seasonally as a wildlife biologist and my current schedule has me working from home on data analysis— as such, I would love to help care for your pets during the week and on weekends! I try to update my schedule as frequently as possible (: I live with one dog named Enzo who absolutely loves other dogs! I also live a block away from Golden Gate park for plenty of dog-walks and play time!

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and can’t imagine a day without them. Growing up surrounded by canine companions taught me how to read their needs, understand their personalities, and provide the kind of care that makes them feel safe and loved. Whether it’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following specific routines, I know every dog is unique. My lifelong experience means I can handle different breeds, temperaments, and ages with confidence. Your dog won’t just be cared for—they’ll be treated like family, because that’s all I’ve ever known. I work full-time with the flexibility to work remotely, which allows me to be home and available throughout the week for check-ins and care. I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends for extended pet sitting, walks, and playtime. My remote work setup means your dog won’t be left alone during the day, and I can provide consistent attention and care even on weekdays. I live in a safe, peaceful neighborhood near the beach and a park—perfect for dogs who love long walks and exploring! My apartment is dog-friendly and secure, with plenty of space for your pup to relax and feel at home. The area is ideal for daily beach strolls, park playtime, and neighborhood walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs on leash during walks, stay aware of our surroundings, and make sure they’re comfortable and secure at all times. My home is pet-proofed, and I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide to ensure your dog feels safe and cared for. You can trust that your pup will be treated with the same love and attention I’ve given to every dog I’ve had throughout my life!

About: Here to provide a happy and safe place for your dog to stay while you are away. Our house is myself and my 6 year old Aussie mix, Belinda, live blocks from GGP, Ocean Beach, and just a quick drive to Chrissy Beach. Our morning always starts with a beach or trail walk before coming home to relaxing house vibes. We live in a single family home with large full sun backyard with level access to den furnished garage for dog hang out space, otherwise house is fully accessible with work from home energy. We are looking for 2+ year old dogs over 30lbs or more - all dogs must be spayed or neutered and have basic obedience. Our typical routine involves off leash walks and expect dogs to have strong recall and able to be walked on voice control trails. Expecting dogs that can maintain low indoor engergy between active routines for early and end of day 40+ min walks utilizing local nature around Richmond neighborhood. Daily activity routine is commonly a mix of; - Morning beach walk at OB, Chrissy Beach, or Fort Funston (40-60min) - these are typically off leash where allowed but always ensuring a good run about, recall skills are expected. If not comfortable on leash walking can be supported. - Midday neighorhood walk (15-30min) - Local walk around the neighborhood to get sniffs and some movement in - End of day park/beach/trail walk (30-50min) - Depending on day and weather; GGP, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, Funston etc are used end of day walk. To ensure this is a good match for all the dogs (and people) involved, please make sure when you send a booking request, please update your dog's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to insurance policy, we can't accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Chow, and Rottweiler). Looking to ensure the dogs have a great time and owners feel good about your time away and trust a safe and fun enviroment is being created for your pet. 1) Is your dog able to be walked off-leash on trails where "off leash under voice control" is allowed with reliable recall response? Recall is when verbal or singled command is given dog returns to comfortable space to either leash or hold based on situation. Belinda and I walk regularly off leash at allowed areas and want to ensure we do not endanger your dog or other's while being off leash together in these areas. 2) Does your dog have any known separation anxiety tendenceies? Either when away from people or when left with other dogs? This could be expressed through whining, barking, destruction of property etc? If so - is your dog crate trained to provide comforting and secure place when errands or other normal life activities are required during stay. 3) Does your dog have watchdog mindset of barking based on common stimuli like footsteps outside, unknown voices, garage doors opening/closing? A space that may have other dogs and work from home activities this type of energy can be stressful to all and may not be an ideal fit. 4) Following a walk, is your dog still "full of energy" - ensuring the energy of the space is maintained during stays, generally house in in relaxing/focused mode between large walks with dogs and humans respectively. 5) Does your dog have any destructive behaviors (shoes, sock, furniture, etc)? Is your dog potty trained? 6) Is your dog comfortable being with multiple dogs? While total dogs are limited to 4, including Belinda, this can still be overwhelming for some dogs and want to make sure this space is the right potential space for your dog. 7) Let me know any other details you think would be helpful to know about your dog - general routines, favorite activities, known reactive situations, possives with toys/treats etc. Schedule typically starts early around 6:15-6:30 for potty and food - then longer morning walk. From there mid day walk is optional based on schedule for the day and how the dogs are doing, large backyard always availbale. End of day another longer walk before dinner and evening hang time, second walk typically never repeats first walk of the day. House has large fenced backyard and one female dog who loves her beach walks, fetch, and hanging with other dogs. Only looking for dogs that match similar energy and get along with others. We want this to be a safe place for all and dogs to delight and owner's to be worry free while your dog stays with us knowing they are being loved and cared for well while here.

“Jade is amazing, she took great care of my cat, sending pictures everyday and making sure she was taking her meds. I really appreciated how quick she was to respond and arrange to meet given that I have her very short notice. Highly recommend!”
