“I will book Avery again and again for sitting needs and highly recommend for the best care of your pets too! I was actually lucky enough to have Avery cat sit for my bud Midnight when we needed it most. It’s the worst case scenario but while sitting Midnight had a medical incident that was purely a result of his age. Avery called me and I was with her over FaceTime as she talked to him, comforted him, and loaded him to go to the vet. It’s a scary situation and was so thankful for her care while I was away. For someone to be so sweet and organized and caring in a situation like that I’m so so grateful. Not to mention the oh so happy pictures of the treats and pets while she was checking in! Should have left this review a while ago :) thank you Avery!”

About: I had a dog growing up as a child and have taken care of my friends dogs numerous times. I also volunteer at the SFSPCA and play/walk with all the pups there. I currently have two lovely cats and hope to adopt a dog again once I have a home with outdoor space! I am currently taking a career break from the corporate life to explore my passions and see what may inspire me in the future. Therefore, I have plenty of time to take care of your babies 😊 My cats are strictly indoor only as I feel this is the safest way to take care of cats (especially in a city). I do take my cats out on a leash at the park occasionally for outdoor time. I think it’s important for all cats to get playtime on a daily basis, snuggles (if they like that), and of course their feeding/hygiene routine. I brush my cats every 2 days. I am equipped to adapt to your cats routines.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Juni while I was gone Caroline. I just got back home and can tell that Juni was well taken care of. You’ll definitely be the first person I contact when Juni needs a great sitter again. Thank you!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and look forward to any chance to spend time with them. I grew up around dogs and spend time watching for friends too! I have a hybrid job so have the flexibility to spend time with your dog and work from home with the dog as needed. I like to take the dog with me out and about but also leave home to relax I live in a very walkable area for your dog to get all the sniffs possible. I love to play or just hang, whatever your dog wants!

“Yue was great! Went above and beyond taking care of our cat while we were away. Great communication, very responsive and detailed drop in reports. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Femke. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, family, and neighbors for almost a decade. What started as a hobby quickly became something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Now, I’m excited to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, preparing for a degree in Cynology (dog behavior) next year. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and intuitive approach. I’ve walked high-energy pups who need structure and stimulation, cared for seniors who require slower walks and medication, and provided companionship to anxious or shy dogs who just need someone gentle and understanding. I’m confident in handling leash reactivity, administering basic medications, and keeping routines consistent to help dogs feel safe and secure. My focus is always on building trust, so your dog feels comfortable with me, and fully enjoys the time we spend together. I’m studying part-time to prepare for my Cynology (dog behavior) degree next year, and have no other major commitments - your dog gets my full attention. My days revolve around walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, so I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and (most) holidays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to build trust with each dog, starting with a meet-and-greet to understand their routines, triggers, and preferences. During walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and stick to safe, familiar routes. I will not do off-leash unless in client-approved spaces and with your explicit consent. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your routines, respect your space, and provide real-time updates with photos and notes, so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog(s) the care and companionship they deserve.

About: Hi, I’m Melissa! I’ve lived in North Beach for two years now and honestly, I think I spend more time greeting the neighborhood dogs than the people. I grew up in a house full of pets (everything from frogs to 60 lb pit-mixes), so a home doesn't quite feel right without a wagging tail. I currently work from home, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup my full attention. Whether it’s a high-energy trek around Washington Square Park or a slow, senior-paced stroll through the neighborhood, I’m your girl. My family dog back home, Maddie, is a 12-year-old ball of energy who taught me everything I know about handling strong, enthusiastic walkers. Whether it’s a small dog with a big personality or a large, high-energy breed like the pit mixes I grew up with, I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs of every size and temperament. I’m big on routine, plenty of treats, and even more dog hugs. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Since I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to make your pet’s care a natural part of my day. I’m wide open in the afternoons and weekends for long, leisurely walks or extended play sessions. Whether it’s a high-energy fetch session at Washington Square Park or just hanging out at home for some midday company, I have the time and flexibility to ensure your pet never feels lonely or restless. Safety is my top priority, and I treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When I’m with your dog, they have my full attention. Whether we’re hanging out while I work or exploring North Beach. I’m a firm believer in 'leash-only' walks and always keep a respectful distance from other dogs unless I know yours is a social butterfly. I stick strictly to your feeding and medication schedules (no table scraps, no exceptions!) to ensure their routine stays perfectly intact while you’re away.

“Sara was amazing! So professional! She took great care of our kitties, knowing they were in good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation.”

“Ariana is great! She dealt with some unexpected accidents (bad cats!) without batting an eye, and her action shots of the pets were hilarious. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of young puppies as well as my parents’ 16-year-old dog. I’ve also been walking dogs for several years and have yet to meet a dog I don’t love.

“Kimberly was an exceptional sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent the best photos. I came back to my apartment as clean or cleaner than I left it! And with two cats, that’s saying a lot!”

About: I’ve taken care of two malamutes from puppy stage to adult stage. Very intuitive with dogs as far as noticing issues that might be bothering them. I currently work primarily for Instacart. So my schedule is 100 % flexible. If I am available when you need help with your animal I will be happy to help If I am taking care of a pet at a clients home I will make sure that the house is dog safe so that nothing in the home gets damaged or misused.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and you’ll always find me on the floor at gatherings, hanging with the dogs. Big, small, young, old, if it has paws, I’m in. I’d love to give your pup the best day (or days) ever! I work from home as a freelance art director, so my schedule is flexible and pet-friendly. This means your pup gets tons of attention, walks, and company throughout the day. I’m available for boarding all days of the week. Bonus: Art Director means you’ll get plenty of free glamour shots of your dog 🤳🐕 I treat every dog like they’re my own. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood perfect for regular breaks and comfy walks. I don’t have pets at home, so your dog gets one-on-one care, and I can crate them if needed.
