House Sitting Parkside

“Merci house sat our two dogs and two cats for a three day weekend (we have worked with Merci several times now). She completed all the tasks we requested, even put the waste/recycle bins at curbside. She's reliable and responsible, we will definitely use her again.”

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

Jennifer L.

“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”

“I’ve booked Cameron for cat sitting 3 times now, and this was our first time also including house sitting because we were gone for longer. She does an amazing job with our cat and sends a bunch of pictures every day. It really helps us feel fully relaxed when we’re on vacation, knowing that our little guy is totally taken care of!”

Sara P.

“Jessica did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! One of my cats has been having some urinary tract issues and needed medication every 8 hours and she took incredible care of him. I would definitely hire her again and I HIGHLY recommend her! She was extremely respectful of our home and our cats absolutely loved her!”

About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.

“Emily was amazing. Professional, polite, very responsive, trustworthy, and most importantly took great care of our home and doggos. Wouldn't hesitate to work with Emily again. 10/10.”

“We felt so relieved on our trip knowing Joe was caring for our dog. He sent pictures throughout the few days he watched our dog which meant a lot to us! We will definitely rebook!”

Gabrielle B.

“Margaux was excellent! She took wonderful care of our old dog. Would definitely book with her again if we can!”

“This was the first time Kristin sat with my dog Lucy, who is a rescue initially mistrusting of "new people." To my relief, after the initial encounter, Lucy was OK with Kristin and I felt good about leaving them together for a short weekend. Kristin has a sweet, easy-going temperament that would help any pet get comfortable. She took good care of Lucy as well as my home and sent me pictures and reports about their walks. I definitely recommend Kristin.”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with 5 years of experience, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and puppies. I provide loving care, regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away.🐶🩷 I’m currently waiting to hear back about my Master’s degree application in the Bay Area, which gives me a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. Unfortunately, because of my current lease agreement, I’m not allowed to have a pet of my own. As someone who comes from Istanbul, a city full of animals and known for its love of cats and dogs I really miss having animals around me. For me, pet sitting is the perfect way to fill that gap while helping pet owners feel at ease when they are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they receive the attention, care, routine, and affection they need. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment while their owners are away.💞 Every pet is different, and I believe caring for them means understanding their individual needs and personality. I have cared for multiple pets, each requiring a different approach. One of the Persian cats I looked after was 19 years old and needed special care. I had to prepare specific meals, make sure fresh water was always available, and assist him when he needed help getting to and from the litter box because of his age. For the Exotic Shorthair and Tabby cats I cared for, keeping their environment clean and making sure their litter boxes were well maintained was especially important. I also spent time playing with them and giving them attention so they felt comfortable and secure.💕 I have also cared for a dog who had unfortunately been abandoned three times in the past and struggled with anxiety. Whenever his owners left the house, he would cry loudly and become distressed. 😔The most important thing for him was reassurance, patience, and helping him understand that he wasn’t alone. Seeing him calm down and feel safe was incredibly rewarding.🐶❤️ Through these experiences, I learned that there is no single way to care for animals. Every pet has different needs, routines, and emotions. Once I understand what makes your pet comfortable and happy, I adapt and do my best to provide the care and attention they deserve.🙏🏻

“Elle was INCREDIBLE! Our other dog-sitter canceled days before we had a two-week international vacation scheduled so we scrambled to find an alternate and even considered canceling... But all of our anxieties vanished as soon as we found Elle. She's warm, reliable, communicative and magic with dogs. Our dog Cosmo is a neurotic akita/husky/chow/samoyed mix (so pretty much every obstinate breed) but not only did Elle handle him deftly, but went above and beyond to make him feel comfy, safe and loved. She sent us TONS of pictures and videos, followed his schedule to a T, gave him more walks and attention than my husband and I put together, and even trained him! We came back to a happy, well groomed and better behaved little fella. You can't possibly find a better dog-sitter than Elle, we were SO lucky to find her and I can't sing her praises loudly enough. Will be eager to hire her again for anything else!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Ariana! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she took such great care of my dog, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive to both my dog’s needs and my own requests, always making sure everything was handled thoughtfully and professionally. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!”

“Lauren is absolutely the best cat/house sitter we have ever had. She is super responsible and very professional. Our cat adores her and we come home to a very happy cat. She also keeps our house so clean and organized. We can travel knowing that all will be well with Lauren - that is priceless.”

“Elizabeth is great! It was our first time leaving our 16week old puppy alone with a sitter for several hours, and Elizabeth kept us at ease with regular updates and photos. She brings a very calm energy and I would recommend her for anyone looking for someone to care for their precious angel!”

“Noel was truly our dream Cat sitter. She was super responsive and great with communication. She sent lovely photos. She was excellent with our complicated medication and meal routine that our cat needed. I was nervous about leaving our fur baby and she kept us reassured the whole time that our cat was being well taken care of and loved. Also, our cat was on her lap immediately! Although our cat is generally friendly getting on someone’s lap immediately. Noel helped us relax on our vacation since we knew that our kitty was in such good hands. She is wonderful with animals and with their pet parents! Thank you so much, Noel for giving us peace of mind.”

About: **out of town 12/1-12/5** Hi, I’m Dana — thanks for checking out my profile! I'm a full-time pet care provider offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in San Francisco's west side neighborhoods. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from small pups to large, high-energy dogs and leash-reactive dogs. I currently have a large German Shepherd mix and a cat of my own, so I'm very comfortable with both big dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. A few things I can offer: 🐾 Experience with dogs of all sizes, including large and reactive dogs 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog's energy level and personality 🐾 Longer walks, runs, hikes, or neighborhood strolls 🐾 Drop-in visits for dogs and cats 🐾 Overnight house sitting in your home 🐾 Consistent updates and photos while you're away 🐾 Flexible availability 7 days a week Walks & Adventures I was born and raised in San Francisco, so I know the city well and have plenty of favorite walking routes, parks, and trails. I'm also an active person myself, so I'm happy to get some miles in with an energetic dog who enjoys longer walks, runs, or hikes. At the same time, I'm also happy to keep things relaxed for a dog who prefers a slower neighborhood walk or some time hanging out at home. I'll always follow your dog's normal routine and adjust our time together to what makes them comfortable. Drop-ins & House Sitting For drop-in visits, I'll follow your pet's usual routine, whether that means feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. For house sitting, my goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible in their own home while you're away. I'll follow their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines and keep an eye on your home while I'm there. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take communication seriously and will keep you updated throughout your time away.

“Jesus was awesome! Checked in frequently and made sure our high energy dog got a lot of exercise and attention. Will definitely be using his services again.”

“Gisselle was great watching our dog, Sasha, for the first time. She sent lots of pictures of our girl while we were away and gave periodic updates on how their day was together. Upon our return, the apartment is clean and Sasha is in great spirits. I can tell she was well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely be working with Gisselle again in the future!”

“Drake was great and easy to work with all the way through”
