Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Potrero Hill

About: My experience with dogs spans my whole life. I grew up with a labradoodle for 16 years, learning early on how to care for a dog through every stage of life. I've also cared for friends' dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My most formative experience, though, was with Oslo, my German Shepherd. Oslo had resource guarding behavior, which meant every day required patience, consistency, and a calm, structured approach. I learned to read his signals, set clear boundaries, and build the kind of trust that made him feel safe — and that made our home feel safe too. Caring for a high-energy, strong-willed breed also meant Oslo needed real exercise and mental engagement, not just a quick walk around the block. That experience shaped how I approach every dog I care for. I don't treat dogs as one-size-fits-all. Some need a long run and stimulation; others need a quiet, low-key environment where they can decompress. I pay attention, I adapt, and I take the responsibility seriously. I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which means I have plenty of flexibility during those days for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. Weekends are when I'm most available, making them ideal for boarding and house sitting. I'm committed to giving dogs the time and attention they actually need — not just fitting them in around a packed schedule. Our home is a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs are welcome to roam comfortably. Our outdoor patio is partially fenced and the size of a small yard, so there's plenty of room to play, explore, and burn off energy. We also have a dog pool we can set up for pups who love the water. Dogs are welcome throughout the home, though we keep furniture off-limits to maintain some structure — something I found works well for dogs like Oslo who thrive with clear boundaries. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and attentiveness I'd bring to my own, keeping routines consistent and your dog's environment as stress-free as possible.

“Briana was so gentle and attentive with my cat. She’s usually super shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she felt comfortable with Briana right away. I’d absolutely book Briana again and hope to have her help in the future!”

“Andrew and Kim were absolutely amazing! Our pup has some quirks that have to be addressed so we were really worried about trying rover. Andrew went above and beyond to make sure mochi was well cared for and happy! He knew exactly what to do with mochi and he has such a calm energy that put us at ease. We will 100% be using him again!”

“Julia was so great walking my dog Colby! She was so communicative and thorough every step of the way. My dog can be shy and he warmed up to her right away. Thanks so much for your help, Julia! Highly recommend her as a rover 😊”

About: Hey there! Growing up, I had the joy of having three furry pals – a wise 16-year-old Shih Tzu and three lively 6-year-old Italian Greyhounds. Now, after getting married and making SF my new home, my space is currently pet-friendly, but pet-less. But here's the scoop – I'm absolutely itching to fill my place with furry joy! While I've decided to hold off on adopting a new dog until I've fully settled into city life, my passion for caring for dogs runs deep. With over 16 years of experience tending to dogs of all ages, I've learned the ropes of creating a secure, nurturing, and fun environment. Can't wait to extend that love and care to your furry friends! Let's make their time away from home as cozy and enjoyable as possible. I currently work as a content creator, giving me the flexibility to provide ❤️full attention❤️ to your dogs on weekdays. I'm available to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your dogs throughout the day. I prioritize 🥽safety🥽 and ❤️dedicate full attention❤️ to understanding and meeting the unique needs of every pet I care for. I'm committed to doing my best to meet the specific needs and preferences of pet owners, ensuring a positive and tailored experience for both pets and their owners.

“Stephanie did amazing taking care of our cats! She gave very thorough updates and the cats seemed to love her visits.”

“Marianna followed my instructions perfectly and is clearly very good with cats! I came home to a happy healthy kitty. I’ll be hiring Marianna again for sure.”

Guthrie H.

“I am extremely happy with Sean! My cats were clearly comfortable and happy while we were away, which means everything to me. Sean sent regular updates, and the photos he shared were truly works of art. I honestly looked forward to every message. When we came back, the apartment was spotless, which was such a pleasant surprise, especially knowing that my cats usually leave quite a mess. It gave me so much peace of mind to know they were so well cared for. I would absolutely trust Sean again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. 🐾✨”

“Edwin and Phyu were great pet sitters. Our cats were very well cared for and they also took care of the plants and other stuff. They have been very helpful and great at keeping us updated about the cats at all times. We were gone for 3 weeks and the house was in great shape”

She is diligent, timely, and thoughtful, follows instructions to the letter, and just has a wonderful rapport with the cats (and us). I know our little guys are in the best hands with her!!”

“Abigale was the best, very communicative, flexible, attentive and kind. My cats are very shy, I was shocked when she sent me photos of them out. The boys were so happy and my apartment in pristine shape when I came home. 10/10 would recommend”

Rebecca L.

“Joslyn was amazing with my cats. She was very professional and ensured to take care of my house and also ensuring the cats had everything they needed. My fearful cat only took one day to settle in and come out for pets from Joslyn. Will definitely work with her again when next I need a sitter.”

About: Pets have become an important part of my adult life and understand their important place in a family. As a pet parent myself, I have been able to apply my experiences with Rover including medical care. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outside as much as possible. My current employment situation allows for flexibility with my schedule. In addition I am located centrally, allowing me to have access to both SF and the peninsula area. Home sittings and drop ins have been some of the things I have done for friends and their pets. For both home sitting and drop ins I have communicated with the pet parent ahead of time. Whether I have been trusted with a spare key or a door code, I respect the home as if it was a family’s member.

About: I’m forever a dog lover, as I’ve grown up with a couple dogs and have always been trusted by friends and others to watch over their pets. Dogs don’t judge and neither do I! I’m happy to welcome any doggy into my home. I’m very patient and friendly towards all animals. I’d love to watch your doggy, and always be available to you for updates or questions. I do have a shiba pup of my own who is just as loving and accepting of other dogs as me. Come let your pup make a new best friend and run around in the back yard :) I work from home and so does my boyfriend, so there’s always someone around to keep your pup feeling safe and comfortable during their stay. My home is a single family home that I live in with my boyfriend and dog. It’s just us three who share a spacious one bedroom home with a backyard.

About: Hey there, San Francisco! A little about me: I've had dogs all my life and my love of animals inspired me to study veterinary nursing in college (Didn't finish, but walked away with skills regardless!). I'm huge on animal welfare, and work like this does my heart wonders, as I hope my services do for you and yours! I've had plenty of experience fostering puppies/dogs, as well as with kittens/cats and other small animals if you are in need of help with them as well. I have done some behavioral training with my own previous dog. I also have experience and tons of patience with special needs animals, so medication, specific accommodations, etc. shouldn't be a problem! In fact, our little buddies that need a little extra help hold a particularly special place in my ❤️ In addition, I hold a certificate in dog CPR and first aid, as indicated in my pictures. Looking forward to making new friends with y'all! My current schedule is somewhat flexible, with a few gigs here and there. Obviously, the more notice I have, the better. But if I can work with you, I most certainly will! I can be an early riser if needed, but generally I wake up around 10 a.m. on average. I mostly stay up pretty late, so there is that too. Howling at the moon, of course 😜 Typically, I prefer to do a meet and greet before booking any of my services. I want to make sure that we both feel comfortable with the arrangement and that I can successfully meet your expectations. The more information I have before booking and before the service begins, the better. You'll see that I am highly communicative and send way too many pictures lol! It's important to me to be fully transparent and to be able to reinforce the trust that has been given to me. I understand the importance of our animals and how preciously we want them to be cared for. Whenever and wherever possible, I always try and go above and beyond. Should you need any services that would involve my home, I live in a studio apartment in The Mission near 25th & Mission. Not a huge space, but definitely not a shoebox either. Big enough for me to feel nice and comfy, with room to spare for visitors, especially yours 😉 I don't have a yard, but I do have a gated back patio. There are some general, common animal care supplies at my place. I'm happy to send some pics if it helps to assess whether what I can offer is adequate for you! Please, ask as many and all questions that you would like. My phone is always on and nearby, should there be anything needed to be communicated. I'm pretty open, I can bend, and whatever the case, if I can, I'm more than happy to work with you with whatever situations or circumstances that might be needed to be taken into consideration. I teach yoga classes, so I am pretty fit and strong, but I generally set my dog size limit at 25 lbs and under. But each situation and dog is different, so again, whenever possible, I'll work with you if I can!

“Tilek was amazing ! We booked last minute and he helped out so much . He sent videos and pictures and we came home to a happy calm puppy. You can tell how passionate and how much he cared and it made our day. We will definitely rebook with him .”

“Goes above and beyond making sure your pet is happy!”
