“It has been a while since I’ve had such peace of mind leaving my pup behind on vacation! She sent lots of photos every day and I could see that my pup was clearly having a great time, which made me really happy! I will definitely book again!!”
2. Gabrielle & Patrick C.
“Gabrielle took such great care of Walter and was fantastic in providing updates / photos. She was so flexible and easy to coordinate with, will definitely continue to use her!”
3. Sam G.
“Sam took great care of my dog, Neeli. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. This was Neeli's first time with any sitter, and she felt very comfortable at Sam's place. We would definitely use her services in the future.”
4. Jaden L.
“Jaden dog sat Hank for five days while we were in NYC (in addition to day care days) and he is PHENOMENAL with our dog. Hank is really shy but in a matter of days, he looked like he had so much fun we weren’t even sure he wants to come home ha! Jaden takes amazing care of our dog and trust that he would do the same for you. We got daily updates of videos and pictures and it made going away so relaxing knowing our “child” was with someone we could truly rely on. Thanks, Jaden!”
5. Exequiel M.
“Having our dog Snow with Exequiel was great and easy experience. Seamless to set the stay up, and he sent plenty of great updates and pics throughout the weekend.”
6. Jamie Y.
“Jamie took great care of our Sr (14yr old) 12lbs pound Grandma Sunshine including daily medicine. We appreciated her responsiveness and many pics during the 6 night stay. Looking forward to future bookings with Jamie.”
7. Rachel & Benjamin K.
“Rachel & Benjamin are THE BEST. We left our pup with them for 5 days and when we came home, he didn't want to leave their side. They are incredibly communicative and will treat your dog just like their own. Not to mention that their own dog, Bernie, is friendly, playful, and loves other pups. Seriously so blown away by the experience- I trust them completely! Can't wait for Archie to stay with them again :)”
8. Rajni B.
“We decided to give Rover a try for the first time after having a bunch of negative experiences boarding in San Francisco. Rajni was absolutely amazing in every way. She took such great care of my dog and also made sure to ask multiple questions to make sure that she kept his schedule as close to normal as possible. She took him in so many wonderful walks and also captured incredible pictures to send to me daily. Even on the days that I was busy and wasn’t able to ask many questions about my dog, she still texted me and gave me updates, which I appreciated so much. She’s definitely going to be my go to every single time I’m out of town!”
9. Alyssa T.
“Alyssa did a great job watching our border collie- she was available for a last minute visit and really did quite a lot in a short time with our dog- took her for walks and played with her- sent tons of photos and updates as well- will definitely use her again in the future”
10. Kevin & Kayla K.
“We were very glad that we’ve found Kevin and Kayla. They were responsive and thoughtful. Both Mr. Cat and Pancake adjusted well and enjoyed their stay!”
11. Brandon J.
“Brandon was wonderful again with Oreo, this time for a longer 10-day stay! He made sure to send us the cutest pictures everyday, and really put my mind at ease that she would be well-taken care of for an extended period of time. Oreo had a medical emergency a few days prior to our trip, so we were initially worried about leaving her in the first place, but Brandon made us feel very comfortable that he would take great care of her while we were gone, so it really took a lot of worry and anxiety off our minds. Oreo was happy, smiling and calm when we picked her up, so I know she had a great time while we were gone. We know she’s always in good hands with Brandon! Thank you so much!”
12. Liubov M.
“Liubov took great care of my pup Charlie. She sent frequent updates with pictures, in which my pup looked very happy and comfortable. She was confident in giving my dog her required meds and managing her reactive behaviors. She was flexible and prompt with meet up times.”
13. Alicia L.
“Alicia was a fantastic dog sitter. She sent us great photos and it was clear when we got back how comfortable and happy our dog had been while we were gone. We have a fit bark that tracks our dogs activity and we could see how much attention and great walks she was getting while we were gone. Alicia also went above and beyond and washed our food bowl and sent it back cleaner than it arrived.”
14. Ashma B.
“Ashma is wonderful! Our dog Yote took to her immediately and relaxed quickly after we left him, which was a huge relief because he's got separation anxiety. Ashma kept Yote busy with lots of fun activities while she watched him and was also great a communicating and sending us updates. We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future!”
15. Judy C.
“I couldn’t think of a more amazing dog sitter than Judy! We were so fortunate to be referred to her by a friend in the city and that she was available for a full week. She watched our large labradoodle and treated her as if she was her own dog giving her so much love. We got so many photos and check-ins to let us know our girl was doing good. She even went above and beyond when our girl had an upset stomach and made her multiple homemade meals. Judy will be our go-to anytime we’re out of town! We can’t thank her enough.”
16. Carla R.
“My first time having my cat stay with someone, so I was a bit nervous. But Carla did a fantastic job - updates and videos everyday without asking - my lil guy looked happy in every video. I would not hesitate to call on Carla again ( and her husband ) - they make a great team! 6 stars out of 5 if I could ?”
17. Timothy C.
“Timothy was great with Ruby. During our first initial meeting with him, my partner and I felt comfortable and that Ruby was in the right hands. Even her brother, Maui, liked him. We appreciated the updates he sent during the middle of the day of her stay with him, which gave us ease that Ruby was doing well.”
18. St. John B.
“John and Scoop took great care of my dog, Murphy! I received pictures of Murphy and Scoop on their walks - they even ventured out to the Presidio! Drop off and pick up were seamless and I appreciated that he met up with us before the visit to make sure everyone got along well. I would not hesitate to ask John to watch Murphy again!”
19. Yijie W.
“Yijie treated my two little pets with immense love and care. Loki and daisy were fed walked and given lots of cuddles and attention. I was able to receive many updates and yijie was extremely flexible with providing pick up and drop off for them! I am extremely thankful for her reliability and help with an almost two week stay for my babies. Thank you yijie!”
20. Remo C.
“Remo took care of my dog Lulu for two weeks. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Lulu loved his backyard and going on many walks with new friends. She came back happy, healthy, and safe. I would recommend Remo for dog boarding and will definitely use his services again in the future! Thank you!!”

What makes San Francisco a great city for dog owners?
Whether you call it SF, The City by the Bay, or just San Francisco, there's something about this city that dog owners love to call home. With all of the amazing parks and ocean views, it's no wonder so many pet parents enjoy living here, and there are plenty of loving Rover dog sitters in the city who'd love to spend some time with their pups. When visitors are in town, San Francisco dog owners love showing off landmarks like Alcatraz and Lombard Street or popping down to Pier 39 for some trendy eats.
Which San Francisco parks should I visit with my dog?
Looking for a place to blow off some steam with your pup? San Francisco has some truly incredible dog parks. Bernal Heights Dog Park is a scenic 35-acre, off-leash dog park that provides amazing panoramic views of the city. Fort Funston Dog Park is a fun place to visit, but keep in mind it's also frequented by horseback riders, gliders, and bicyclists. This next park is notable for being a resting place for hundreds of species of migrating birds, which is reason enough to visit! It's Pine Lake Dog Park, and it's also full of great hiking trails and a dedicated off-leash section of the park for your dog. Located in the Diamond Heights neighborhood, Glen Canyon Dog Park is 35 acres of beautiful wooded trails and canyons. For the ultimate in dog-friendly recreation, be sure to check out Duboce Dog Park. Dog walkers love this park, and there's even an annual DogFest held there to celebrate man's best friend.
Which neighborhoods in San Francisco are good for dog owners?
Alamo Square features Victorian architecture, including the iconic painted ladies homes seen in many depictions of the city. Balboa Park, sometimes referred to as Mission Terrace, Cayuga, or Ingleside, includes the soccer-specific Boxer Stadium.
