“Angela took great care of my boys while I was away for a weekend trip. My doggies are usually pouty when I leave them for more than a few hours and they acted like I never left! Angela was also great with communication and very prompt to respond.”
“As always, Dione did a great job looking after our cats. He was communicative and sent several pictures with each visit, and went above and beyond cleaning the area around the litter box and playing with the cats when they came out. Thanks so much!!”
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.
“A+. Kristina dropped in to care for my 2 cats over three days while I was in Yosemite. She was consistently punctual, took care of food and litter but also played with my cats and brushed them a bit. She was very communicative and took lots of photos/videos. I came home to a clean apartment and content kitties. Absolutely will book again!”
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.
“Franchesca took great care of our cats. She is reliable, communicative, and so nice. She followed all our instructions. Our cats are shy especially at first, but they were comfortable with Franchesca in no time. I would definitely rebook!”
“Anastasia has watched my cats a few times and always brings peace of mind during trips by making sure they are not only taken care of with food, water, etc but also plays with them and gives them attention. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10, my family dog Mushi was a Shih-Tzu and taking care of her will always be one of the fondest memories of my childhood. More recently, I have some experience pet sitting and dog walking for my friends. Hi there! My name is Sam. I work full-time as a Pre/Postnatal Exercise Specialist and live a very active lifestyle. I mostly do this for fun and for supplemental income during my free time so I am flexible on cost and cancelation. I live in an apartment complex that is 3 blocks away from Golden Gate Park and a 10 min drive away from Crissy Field. Your pets' safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. Feel free to reach out anytime, I am quick to respond to all platforms of communication. I am excited to meet you and your fur baby!
About: With 4 years of pet care experience, I’ve watched friends’ and family’s pets and walked my neighbors’ dogs, always providing dependable, loving, and playful care. Your Weekend & Evening Pet Pal!! Tuesdays and Fridays: Available in the afternoons and evenings (until 8:00pm) Saturdays and Sundays: All day starting at 9:00am We keep our cat safe by keeping her indoors, where she’s protected from cars, predators, and outdoor risks, while still enjoying a loving, enriching home.
About: I've always had a dog at home but have made friends with many cat companions, horses, chickens, even a tortoise. Caring for other beings brings me a lot of joy, especially tuning into their habits and happiness. I'm working part-time so pet care fits into my schedule seemlessly. Available weekdays only; weekends are for recharging and reconnecting with my own pup, Lily! Bonding through listening to body language is a must for me. I'd never play and pounce on a skittish furry friend. I believe other animals can express consent about entering their personal space, too.

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!”
