“Tobin was great! He went out of his way to help walk Otto, and was attentive to our instructions especially for a big German shepherd who’s a bit reactive on leash. As someone who is very anxious about leaving her pet behind, Tobin made our trip much easier !”
About: I’ve had at least two family dogs my entire life, and ever since I was capable, I have taken care of them in every way I can. I have also walked my friends and family’s dogs. When I went to boarding school, I helped take care of my teachers pets, along with riding horses and caring for a newborn foal. I have taken in two cats off the street and found them happy homes. I have had mutts, doodles, vizslas, and my favorite, golden retrievers. I pet every dog I pass by, so might as well do it officially! I’m home for the summer from school, so I am full time hanging out with your pets! I am available everyday from 11 AM to 3 PM, but my hours are flexible. I have always crated my own dogs, and am willing and able to crate yours as well. I know the city well and will make sure to walk your dogs to only the safest areas.
“Reaghan has been amazing with my senior pup Oliver. Goes above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable and is very communicative. Cannot recommend them enough 🙌”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—golden retrievers, English cocker spaniels, labs, and Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers. I’ve helped raise them from puppies all the way through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with all stages of care. I enjoy going for walks in Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle, and I’d love to have a dog join me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting throughout the day. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and well taken care of. I give them plenty of attention, take them on walks, feed them, and make sure they’re doing great while you’re away.
“Lauren is communicative, quick, and incredibly easy to work with. Penny has recently developed some funny triggers, and while I’m working with a trainer on them, Lauren quickly understood and took Penny out without issue. Penny quickly liked Lauren and we’re signing up for lots more walks!”
About: I was lucky to grow up always having a pet - parakeets, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, & cats - I love all feathered and furry friends! On top of having pets of my own, I have experience pet sitting for friends - I love spending time giving pets attention and care! I work remotely 4 days a week, so I have flexibility in my weekly routine! I am an active person who enjoys going on long walks for fun already, so having a dog to join me would make my daily walks even better! I am a proud cat mom to Lady Bug, a 2 year old tuxedo little girl. I previously lived with an adorable pitbull mix and would help my roommate walk and feed him when she was away on business or working from her office in South Bay. I know the importance of making sure all plants are pet-safe.
“Emerson knows his dogs! Izzy can be slow to warm up to new people, but Emerson was very patient and has no problem waiting for her to warm up in her own time. I appreciated that he asked questions about her as well as how best to use the extendable leash.”
“Anna was so kind, communicative and easy to work with on Rover! She was super reliable and responsive and sent fantastic updates. She went above and beyond in making sure the dogs were safe and well-taken care of during and after their walks. My dogs looked so happy and were well-loved by her. It’s clear she loves dogs, I would definitely book again!”
About: Ever since my family got a puppy, I have been experienced in dog sitting and cat sitting. I absolutely adore all animals and will happy adapt to all silly characteristics and attitudes of your animals. I am new to the city and do not start my full time job until late August. When I start my career, I will be implementing time for pet care into my schedule. Right now, I am looking to explore new places by caring for your animals! I understand that each family and each animal has its own needs, so I will gladly follow any guidelines which you may have. If you do not have any guidelines, I can happily manage the safety, the needs, and so on of your animal.
About: I was born with 2 Dachshunds in the family that I wrestled within my first years of learning to crawl and have lived with a dog most years of my life. I once had a Doberman Pincher whom I raised & turned into a service dog in the Air Force when I was given an overseas assignment and couldn't take him. For years I had a diabetic Chow Chow that I could leave in the back of a convertible car with the roof down on Hollywood Blvd by the Chinese Theater while I went to a show and knew the car and puppy would be as I left them hours earlier (Note: that was the 1990s... Hollywood Blvd. is a different animal now). I’ve tackled Pit Bulls mistaking my 5 lb. Chihuahua for a squirrel. I’ve crossed paths with multiple coyotes with my Chi’s in the Presidio & have great accuracy throwing rocks. I'm an IT engineer who works at home and sits long periods & my dogs absolutely motivate me to exercise with them daily and there are many places to do so in Dog City, USA! I've been working remotely and keep my pups with me. We exercise daily at the beach, Presidio or at any of the great parks in the area. We would go to Ocean Beach more often if not for all of the stinky stuff that washes up on shore that they just can't resist rolling around in (a dead walrus tops a skunk's stink by a mile) necessitating a bath(s).... in tomato juice? Safety is critical! I have a fenced yard which makes dogs possible in the city. They are never exposed to the street, so there’s zero chance of a mishap with escaping. I usually take my McNab/Border Collies (who were raised by Chihuahuas 😊) to Crissy Field, the Presidio, the Beach or Golden Gate dog park daily, so my dogs are quite social
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years, and it’s always felt like second nature. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and it’s always a great feeling when they get excited to see me again. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages — from playful puppies to senior pets — including those with medical conditions that require daily medication or special attention. I’m physically active and spend a lot of time at the park, which makes it easy to incorporate fun and exercise into the pets’ routines. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine pretty naturally. I usually plan around feeding times, walks, and any special instructions the owner gives me. Even though I started doing it to earn extra money, I’ve actually come to enjoy the time I spend with the pets. It gives me a break from my own routine and adds some structure to my day. Plus, it’s rewarding to know the animals are happy and being well cared for I follow whatever routine the pet is used to — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I try to make the pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have been taking care of my personal pets since I was a kid. I spent summers walking my neighborhood dogs which I really enjoyed. I love all animals and want to take care of them the best to my abilities. Use my code for $20 credit for first booking: ELLAH74841 I work full time but in the evenings I am quite flexible to fit into your schedule. I understand that pet care needs can change.

About: I was raised in a household with multiple dogs and was given the responsibility to care for our dogs at the age of 10. In the neighborhood, I was always the go-to dog sitter and walker. This gave me experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes as well as dogs with specific medical needs. I am reliable, as I know how special your pets are to you and how important it is that you have a sitter you can count on. I have a remote, full-time job, so I have the flexibility to take your dog out in the middle of the work day. This also allows me to keep your dog company while working my remote desk job. I enjoy going for long walks, so dog walking really compliments my daily routine. When watching your dog in your home, I am able to take your dog to the street or to your yard for potty beaks throughout the day. I can crate at night if necessary and follow any food or medicine routine they have.
“Nancy is professional and extremely caring. She knows how important your dog (and cat!) is and takes the time to share every detail with you about her time with them. We recently rescued our pup, and we're still warming her up to other dogs. Knowing this, Nancy takes the time to tell us about all of the dogs that they encounter and how Buttermilk reacts. The pictures are so cute too! She is an absolute joy to work with, and both our dog and cat love her! I highly recommend Nancy and will be booking with her as often as possible!”

I have seen Grace take every opportunity she has to meet new people and puppies at every turn, and she does it completely effortlessly.

She is amazing to work with, unimaginably kind, and absolutely the perfect fit to not just take care of, but to connect with your dog.”

Derrick B.
“Derrick is great with dogs and cats from what I have seen. My personal experience was him taking care of my pup Rufus, when he was as about 8 months at the time. I was out of town for two weeks. He asked for detailed instructions and even went as far as doing research on the needs for Rufus’ breed (Shiba Inu). Rufus was walked daily and taken to the dog park a couple of times. Derrick also stayed in my home and kept everything spotless. Would highly recommend Derrick to take care of your furry friend for a walk, dog sitting, or boarding.”
Ella O.
“I’ve left Ella with my cat numerous times with absolutely no worries he wouldn’t be in the happiest and most careful hands. I’ve been gone for a week at a time and come back to my kitty as happy as when I left. Additionally, she cares for her three kitties with just as much care and love. She takes care of every pet like it’s her own and I 100% trust her to watch my baby again.”
Ella H.
“Ella is literally the best. She has taken care of all sorts of animals since she was very young. She is compassionate and patient which I think are outstanding qualities for pet interactions. She's committed and responsible. I can't say enough about her, you'll be glad she's part of the program.”
