“Claire was excellent with our puppy Willie. He loved spending time with her. She was prompt and gave him a nice long walk and play time at the park. Just what our high-energy pup needed!”


“Sharon and Sujoy are super pleasant, timely and my pups went off happily on the walk with them - and came back happy and exhausted! A total win! I also appreciated they communicated their ETA on arrival and again when they were returning. Will definitely use them again!”


About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, always with at least one dog by my side. I’ve never been without a dog (or two) in my life, and often helped care for neighbors’ dogs as well. I also dog sit for my coworkers. I’m attentive and adaptable, always tuning in to each dog’s unique needs and personality. My purpose is to give you peace of mind that your pup is being cared for! I work remotely full-time in public health research (my passion!), but that makes it easy for me to move around and be flexible during the week to take your pup on a walk, check in, play, or stay over if needed! A few things to note about my work and schedule during the week: - I work a typical 8-hour day M-F so if I'm staying in your home, I'll ideally need to have access to WiFi - I'm not available to do long walks during the weekdays that last longer than 30 minutes during the middle of the day (which includes my walking to your home, so weekday walks need to be near where I live) Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for both of us. :) House sitting: If I’m staying in your home or coming by to care for your pets, I’m always respectful of your space and privacy. I’m happy to follow any house rules—whether that means no shoes indoors, keeping pets off certain furniture, or anything else you prefer. I can also send you photos or updates (just let me know your preference for how often!). My preference when dog sitting is that at night, your pup is able to sleep in their own bed or is crate trained. Please feel free to reach out for a meet and greet before booking anything to ensure I’m the right fit for your furry companion. ☺️ My little pooch is a yorkie mix who I rescued a few years ago. He’s crate trained and is as curious as it gets! I administer an oral medication for him, and can administer medications as long as I have clear instructions. He stays at home with me, but won’t join me during check ins with other dogs. Boarding: I do welcome small dogs that are crate trained, potty trained, and get along well with other small dogs. I have a little 8 year old, 12-pound Yorkie mix who gets along well with other small dogs. My partner and I are loving and attentive, and will welcome your sweet pup into our home! I live next to two parks and can be flexible with how many potty breaks are needed. One house rule that we have is we do not allow dogs on our couch or bed. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to have a meet and greet!

About: Growing up on an old farm property with three dogs, four cats, two rabbits, hermit crabs, and chickens, I learned early on how to care for a wide variety of animals. These days, I proudly call myself a Cat Dad to my cat Tasha, who we adopted from Cat Town in Oakland. She’s taught me the art of feline patience, but dogs are my first love. I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from a 10-pound "Little Brown Dog" (yes, that was their name) to a 100-pound German Shepherd. I recently finished graduate school, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop in visits or daily walks throughout the day and week. What sets me apart is my calm, grounded presence with animals, and my ability to adapt to their energy and comfort level. Whether it’s a high energy dog who needs structured walks or a shy cat who needs time to warm up, I meet them where they are with care, patience, and plenty of affection.

“Kimberly has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She has been very attentive with him and ensuring he gets his daily walks and attention while I’m at the office. She even has been working with him on tricks which is above and beyond what I expected. I’m happily going to continue working with her for my dog walking needs.”



“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Tynisha to take care of Atlas! She is prompt & communicative, committed to the safety of the dog, sweet & caring, and very detail oriented. She honored every one of our tips for Atlas’s care always making sure he was well-settled before leaving. Truly it was like he was her own dog. We really really appreciate her thoughtfulness!”


About: Proficient in chin and neck scratches and belly rubs. All ears when it comes to the way your pup needs to be taken care of and respectful of it. Easy to interact with, get a hold of for updates, and will overcommunicate as needed. Work from home 4-5 days a week, and my partner, Ana, WFH 5 days out of the week. Your pup will feel all the love and then some! Potty area right outside the complex + in-unit patio for any emergencies. Right between Van Ness and Polk with tons of flat walking as well as a Lafayette Park nearby for some increased activity. Great area to take pups on a stroll especially with summer around the corner. Here to make your life easier with the only expense being I get to hang out with a canine buddy. My goal with your pup will be for its tail to be wagging everytime it sees me after a first sitting and any other form of jumping and general excitement. Do it for the pups! I grew up with a Miniature Poodle, Lab Mix and a Toy Fox Terrier. We recently hosted a French Bulldog - we have no issues following a schedule to ensure the pup what they need and what you need for them. Your space is yours and that is meant to be respected. We’re visitors and there to help ensure you don’t have to worry about your pup as you carry on your daily tasks or are on holiday. We like to ensure the pup has his toys, bowls, and idea of when they need to use the facilities and when they need physical activity. We like to leave pups happier than when we first meet them.

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, having grown up with both cats and dogs in my home. Over the years, I’ve extended that care to many pets outside my family, providing attentive and loving support to ensure their well-being. Additionally, I volunteered at the SPCA, where I played an active role in socializing newly arrived animals, helping them build trust and confidence to increase their chances of finding forever homes as well as senior pets who needed some extra love. This experience gave me valuable insight into animal behavior and reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I'm currently doing Rover full time, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m available for multiple walks a day and live right across from a park—great for dogs who love to play and explore. I also have lots of experience with cats and enjoy giving them the calm, loving care they need. Whether your pet is active or laid-back, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I also follow their usual routines closely to help reduce stress and make sure they feel cared for and at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I started pet sitting in 2006 for dogs and cats around the neighborhood. Since then, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. It’s second nature to me now, and I genuinely love getting to know and spend time with each animal My schedule at the moment is flexible, and since I don't have pets of my own, I can work around whatever works best for your pets I'm happy to take care of your pets in their own space, in whatever way you or they need. I'm very familiar with the city and can roam wherever your pets are at their happiest

About: I grew up with a sweet female boxer who taught me the joy of caring for dogs from a young age. Throughout high school, I was often hired by elderly neighbors to dog sit and take their pups on daily walks, which gave me experience with different breeds and personalities. I also volunteered at the SPCA, where I focused on socializing puppies and helping them build confidence. Although college has limited my dog time over the past few years, I still jumped in to help my family foster a blue heeler puppy during one Christmas break (complete with middle-of-the-night potty breaks)! With over 7 years of hands-on experience, I bring patience, energy, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I recently graduated from MIT and moved to San Francisco as I look for opportunities in the startup space. In the meantime, I’m excited to spend as much of my free time as possible caring for dogs. My schedule is flexible, and I love filling my days with walks, playtime, and quality time with pups. I don’t host dogs in my apartment, but when house sitting or walking I make safety and trust my top priorities. I always accompany dogs outside and stay attentive on walks. I’ll cross the street if another dog is approaching to avoid unwanted interactions, make sure they don’t pick up or eat anything off the sidewalk, and keep them leashed securely at all times. Before starting, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet so your pup feels comfortable with me and I can learn their routine. My goal is to keep every walk safe, stress-free, and enjoyable while giving your dog plenty of care and attention.

Ian J.
“I can't recommend Ian Jones enough! He did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my pit bull mix, Cuddles, and my cat while I was overseas in Tanzania for two weeks. Being so far away, I needed someone I could truly trust—and Ian exceeded every expectation. My older dog requires daily medications and extra attention, and Ian handled everything with care and professionalism. He took Cuddles on frequent walks, sent me regular updates and photos, and always made sure I felt at peace knowing my pets and home were in good hands. When I returned, the house was in great shape, and both my dog and cat were happy, healthy, and clearly very fond of him. It was such a relief to know they were loved and well looked after. Ian is dependable, kind, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I wouldn't hesitate to have him watch over them again!”


Kimberly K.
