Pet Sitting in San Francisco

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny lapdogs to 100+ pound pups who are convinced they’re lapdogs too! In recent years, cats have become a big part of my life as well, and I’ve grown to appreciate each cat’s unique personality and needs. As a caregiver by nature, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and plenty of companionship. I currently work as a child caregiver 9-5. Once I’m off for the day I will immediately check on your fur baby and give them all the love and care they need! Your pet’s safety comes first! I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor behavior, maintain routines, and provide a calm, secure, loving environment while you’re away.

“Maria did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was super communicative and gave great updates and pictures, and gave my cat lots of pets and love--when we came home our cat was happy and in a great mood thanks to Maria's amazing care. Thank you again Maria!”

“When I met Joslyn I instantly felt her warm and positive energy. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat Flora. It was not an easy job because Flora has experienced extreme trauma and she is an elderly cat. Where others would have given up, Joslyn was patient and not intimidated by Flora’s stressed demeanor. She took her time and slowly took the necessary steps to ensure she received the care she needed. I appreciated the videos and photos she took during each visit. She even brought in our mail and packages while we were away. I highly recommend her and plan on connecting with her in the future if I need cat sitting.”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats throughout my life. Recently, I started taking care of some of my friend’s pets and have gained valuable experience through them. I have taken care of cats of all sizes and energy levels, and have taken care of small-medium dogs. I’m currently working a full-time job from 7-4, but can swing before or after work, and during lunch time for an hour to take care of your pet! I am free weeknights after work, as well as on weekends. I can do drop-in care every 4 hours on weekdays, can stay overnight if needed, and/or can stay all day on the weekends. I do not have pets of my own, and live in a studio apartment so if your pet will be at my home, you will not need to worry about another pet being there. I have some plants that can be put away in a safe place if needed. If I will be staying at your home or doing drop-in care, I will make sure to treat it with respect and leave it how it was when I arrived.

“Caitlin is a phenomenal pet sitter. She’s responsible, communicative, and our pets adored her. We especially appreciate her coming through for us after our boarder cancelled at the last minute before our trip.”

About: Hi! I’m Louis, and I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and helping care for pets for friends and family. I’m active, dependable, and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or extended care, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make every visit a positive, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care and plenty of attention to every pet I work with. I’m an active person who spends a lot of time outdoors, and one of the things I love most about living in San Francisco is having access to so many amazing parks, trails, and green spaces for dogs to explore. I live just a short walk from Golden Gate Park and near several neighborhood parks, making it easy to give dogs the exercise, fresh air, and enrichment they need. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply getting outside and exploring, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and engaging experience. I believe great pet care starts with trust, communication, and respect. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect established routines, and treat every home with the same care and consideration I would expect in my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries so they feel comfortable and secure. When caring for dogs at my home, we spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying fresh air, exercise, and enrichment. I live in an apartment community with a dedicated dog area and am fortunate to be surrounded by parks and green spaces, including Golden Gate Park just a short walk away. Whether your dog enjoys exploring, socializing, or taking a relaxed stroll, I’ll make sure they stay active, safe, and happy while in my care. Throughout every visit, I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“My first time having Sammy take care of my cat exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond in her care including keeping things tidy and clean. I have no doubt I would use Sammy again because I know my cat would be in good hands! :)”

“Sabrina came to rescue! I had a last minute cancellation from my previous sitter and Sabrina was able to take care of my cat while I have already left SF. She did everything above and beyond. She was able to get Cabbage play with her and drink more water by adding churu! Sabrina really cares about my cat. I highly recommend Sabrina!”

“Tami was an excellent cat sitter, she dropped in to take care of my cat while I was out of town for 3 days. She gave her many pets, ensured the feeder and litterbox were working, and played with her. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: ▍About Me ☺️ Hi, I’m Miumiu Mi — a gentle, detail-oriented pet caregiver with extensive experience in cat care. I’ve been involved in cat rescue and fostering for years, and I currently live with my under-one-year-old kitten, Bobo. I often travel with him, which has given me a deep understanding of how cats adapt to new environments. I’m highly attentive to animals’ emotional states, behavioral patterns, and physical conditions, and I provide care that is calm, patient, and respectful of boundaries. I’m also continuously learning about feline communication and animal social behavior. ⸻ ▍🏠 Home & Environment I live in a pet-friendly 1b1b apartment (~900 sq ft) that is clean, quiet, and thoughtfully set up for your pet: • A brand-new, dedicated litter box • Petlibro automatic feeder & water fountain • Multiple areas for free exploration (cats are allowed on the bed, dogs are welcome on furniture) • All furniture and decor are secured, with no small objects that could be swallowed • All household products are pet-safe and non-toxic • Access to a dog yard within the apartment complex I maintain daily cleaning, environmental upkeep, and close observation to ensure your pet stays in a safe, stable, and comfortable space. ⸻ ▍My Experience 📈 • Experience with cats of all ages, from kittens to seniors • Assisted with kitten deliveries and round-the-clock newborn care • Previously rescued and fostered stray cats in Chongqing, all successfully rehomed • Participated in a rescue case involving an illegal and abusive cattery in the U.S. I don’t just take care of animals — I truly enjoy living with them and understanding them. ⸻ ▍Boarding Process ① Adjustment Period 🐱 For every new cat, I provide at least one full day of a gentle adjustment period: • A separate, quiet space • Gradual exposure to new smells and surroundings • Careful observation of mood and appetite After that, I introduce them to my cat Bobo gradually, ensuring a safe and low-stress social experience. ⸻ 🐕 For dogs, strict isolation is usually not necessary. However, I still provide a short observation period and adjust the pace, especially for dogs who are sensitive to new environments or have limited social experience. I always tailor my approach to each individual pet, rather than following a fixed routine, so they can adapt at their own pace, with comfort and respect. ⸻ ② Live Monitoring ✨ I offer optional live camera access (Rola), so you can check on your pet anytime during their stay, especially during the adjustment period. ⸻ ③ Daily Updates Every evening, you’ll receive a daily summary including: • Feeding details • Litter / bathroom updates • Behavior & emotional observations • Photos and/or videos I’m also responsive throughout the day and may share spontaneous cute moments 💛 ⸻ ④ After-Stay Keepsakes 💖 After their stay, your pet may receive: • A handmade postcard • Polaroid photos • (More custom creations coming soon…) ⸻ ⑤ Pre-Boarding Communication • Before booking: I provide a detailed boarding guide • One day before arrival: I confirm all care details (diet, habits, special notes) This ensures a smooth and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. ⸻ ▍Daily Care • Pets are not left alone for extended periods (I’ll inform you if needed) • Daily interaction and companionship are guaranteed • Interaction style is adjusted based on personality • I minimize unnecessary stimulation and environmental stress ⸻ ▍Best Fit 🔍 I currently prefer pets who are: ✔ Emotionally stable ✔ Have good behavioral habits ⸻ ▍Medication & Special Needs 💊 If your pet has: • Medication needs • Special dietary requirements • Behavioral concerns Please let me know in advance. I’ll assess each case carefully and adjust care plans (and pricing) accordingly. ⸻ ▍My Promise 💗 I care deeply about: • Your pet’s safety • Emotional well-being • A calm and comfortable environment I hope to offer not just boarding — but a second home where your pet feels truly safe and cared for. I am available almost all day until June and can provide frequent updates on your cat’s daily condition and well-being. More details about my experience and home setup can be found in the details section. At the moment, I prefer boarding stays of three days or longer, as this allows cats to settle in comfortably and reduces stress. If your cat requires any medication or special care, please let me know in advance. I kindly ask for some basic information about your cat, including personality, preferences, daily routines, and companionship needs. If you have a busy schedule, at minimum please share any medication requirements (if applicable) and important care notes, so I can ensure consistent and safe care. I provide a calm, clean, and cat-focused home environment. Also provide out silted travel options if need. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is fully set up for cats, including multiple litter boxes, feeders, water fountains, and dedicated resting areas. I carefully manage hygiene, feeding routines, and daily observation to ensure each cat’s safety and comfort. Cats are never left unattended for long periods, and I avoid unnecessary environmental stress. I value clear and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, including photos and notes on your cat’s condition, behavior, and mood. If anything unusual arises, I will reach out immediately. Your cat’s physical safety and emotional well-being are always my top priorities.

About: Hi, My name is Jaden, and we have a sweet senior corgi, Tyty. He has the gentlest spirit, loves dogs of all breeds, and has a gift for making new friends feel right at home. Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by one cat and eight dogs—many of them rescues my parents welcomed into our family. We even cared for a stray cat who came to us after being injured by other street cats. Those experiences shaped me deeply, teaching me compassion, patience, and the joy of giving animals the love and security they deserve. I know how important it is for every pup to feel safe, happy, and cared for when they’re away from home. That’s why I focus on creating a balanced routine filled with exercise, socialization, and plenty of affection. My home is clean, cozy, and full of warmth—a space where dogs can play with Tyty, nap in comfort, and truly feel like part of the family. Your dog’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing pups thrive under my care. ✨ A quick note: I’m available to care for spayed or neutered dogs up to 35 lbs. I'm working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays anytime after 7:30am. I live in a pet friendly building in San Francisco. There are a ton of dog friendly walks around here. My place is 2 mins away from the Soma West dog park. It is a big, fenced, clean, and safe dog park. Our play time will be filled with: fetch, chasing even sunbathing.

“Anita was so lovely and did a great job of taking care of Milo. She sent lots of photos and videos which I loved to watch. I can tell Milo really liked her. I would highly recommend Anita to take care of your pet!”

“Lauren was fantastic with our pups. She took great care of both of them individually and helped ease my nervous one to be able to go potty. She played with my energetic one and even wiped paws when they were done. Not to mention sent detailed notes and photos. Would give more stars if I could! Thanks so much Lauren! ❤️”

About: I am a career estate, family, and lifestyle manager. I’ve spent my life working in high net worth homes and one of my core responsibilities has been to care for the dogs of the people I’ve supported. I absolutely love animals and this was one of my favorite aspects of my work. I have also always had dogs of my own. I am currently a couple of weeks into a new move to the west coast and am on a bit of a work sabbatical but would love the opportunity to just be around and care for some dogs. I have worked with dogs from puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’m very active and love to walk. I’ve trained multiple dogs and dogs are extremely responsive to me. You’d be hard pressed to find an individual who has had the experience that what I bring to the table. I am reliable, independent, discreet, empathetic, enthusiastic, and just adore working with and caring for animals. I am not doing this for a job or for financial gain but because I truly just value my time with dogs. I am currently on sabbatical and loosely looking for new opportunities. My only daily routine is going to the gym. I can fit in dog walking at any point in time as my schedule is extremely wide open. I am currently staying in a place where I cannot host dogs but I have spent the entirety of my career working in private homes. I am very discreet, responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. It is very easy for me to follow the directions of clients and deliver top tier care for their pets.

“Iulia is AMAZING. She went above and beyond caring for my toothless cat by chopping her food, brushing her, monitoring her eating, and sending tons of adorable photo updates. She’s incredibly attentive and even caught a leak in my ceiling and alerted me right away. I felt 100% confident and at ease while I was away. Book her. She’s truly the best!”

“Maria was terrific! Great communication, and she was able to help us out on short notice during a chaotic holiday travel season. Highly recommended!”

“Julia was so great walking my dog Colby! She was so communicative and thorough every step of the way. My dog can be shy and he warmed up to her right away. Thanks so much for your help, Julia! Highly recommend her as a rover 😊”
