Pet Sitting 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!”

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.

“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!”

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs (my own and other pets, including cats and birds) throughout my life and I enjoy being around pets. I signed up for rover because I miss having a pet of my own to care for and to take to the park. I have 15+ years of experience. I’ve taken care of small to large (chihuahua to Great Dane) dogs. I am careful to follow directions and pay attention to the pet’s health. I am a distance runner and would be happy to take pets on long walks or runs around golden gate park. I am happy to take care of cats as well. I am available evenings only during the week, and am most flexible over the weekend. I am a healthcare professional who loves pets and who would love to have a companion with me during my time off! I really enjoy taking breaks to go on walks around the neighborhood. Since I cannot have full responsibility of a pet, Rover is my way to enjoy spending quality time with pets. My apartment building accepts pets and your pet will be the only pet in the apartment. I will only host one pet at a time. Non smoker home.

“I will absolutely book Jocelyn again. She is a great communicator and my Golden retriever loved her. And she took lots of pics for me to obsess over after the visit. Thank you Jocelyn!”

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who understands how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members, and I treat every pet in my care with the same kindness, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for animals both big and small, and I especially have a soft spot for senior dogs. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart, and I understand that they often need a little extra patience and support. I’m experienced in administering medications and following specific care routines to help keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I also have experience working with anxious and nervous dogs. I know that new people and changes in routine can be stressful, so I always take a gentle, calm approach and allow pets to warm up to me at their own pace. Building trust and helping animals feel safe is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting for me. I am currently free to provide pet care any day of the week. My current schedule is flexible. I will have the time to provide focused care for you and your pets. I have a backyard for quick breaks, but will also provide enriching walks around the neighborhood. I can also crate dogs if they are trained to do so.

“Madison was great, he sent us tons of photos and videos and even dropped by before our trip to get the lay of the land. Would book again!”

About: I’ve dog sat for neighbors and friends for years and volunteered at pet shelters! I love dogs but travel often so can’t have any of my own. I work from home 5 days a week with a flexible schedule. Can help with taking care of your pet while you work, run errands or just need some support. Potrero is fantastic for dog walks. My apartment is two floors so enough room for doggies to run around and I’m always happy to play fetch or tug of war.
