7. Angela G.
About: Over the years, friends and family have asked me to care for their pets and I'm more than happy to since my full-time job makes it challenging to have a pet of my own. Whether your pet needs a playful companion or gentle care, I’m here to provide it with the same love and attention I’d give my own pet. I recently moved back to SF and my full-time job here doesn't start until October, so I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. Before taking care of a pet I like to know their routine, any dietary needs, or other special instructions. I like to keep owners updated on how their pets are doing so you can rest easy knowing they are doing well while you are away.

About: I have babysat friends dogs before and taken care of my own pets since my first dog at age four. Not only will your dog be taken care of and well looked after but he or she will have loads of fun and be loved like they are my own. I have two spacious yards, and live right next to a big park, (we are also a half an hour from the beach) and have a friendly dog of my own to enjoy all the fun with!

11. Maria N.
“Maria is a great dog walker! Yuna is a sensitive girl but she has taken to Maria. I can count on her to follow instructions, feed Yuna the proper amount, and let me know if there’s anything I should be aware of. She communicates with me about any changes in plans. She is reliable and I trust her with my crazy little fur baby!”

15. Melody D.
“Melody is such a calm and loving person. She is my dog Leo’s favorite person. Whenever Melody is around, my dog just stays with her. She is very smart and playful with the dog. She developed games with our dog and trained my dog a few tricks. She is very disciplined with our dog too. Always gives the right amount of food and never shares human food with Leo. Our family would vote Melody the best dog sitter.”
16. Ashma B.
“Ashma is a god sent. My partner and I like to travel a lot but having 2 dogs and a vary expensive collection of rare plants made it very difficult for us to leave our home for more than a couple of days. Our boys always enjoy spending time with her. Thanks to Ashma, we were able take a 2 week vacation in Spain. She would periodically send us updates and pictures of our fur babies. Before we left, I gave her detail instructions on how to care for all my plants. I was very pleased to find not only there were no casualties when we return, all my plants were thriving. If you ever need a reliable and competent dog walker and/or house sitter, I would highly recommend Ashma.”
17. Tami W.

“Raemi has been so great to Luna! Luna is always a happy dog when she gets back from her walk.”
19. Jason A.
“When it comes to caring for your pet, Jason is the #1 choice. He cares for other peoples' pets as if they were his own. He has been sitting my dog, Coco, and she absolutely adores him. Jason is very calm, collected, flexible, charismatic, and warm. He is also very attentive to the specific needs of my dog and my home. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, reliable, and trustworthy sitter.”
