House Sitting Seacliff

“Kristin is very responsible in her communications and her committment to times of arrival. I have used her twice now and both times she made a special accomodation to stop by early on the way to work so I could get my dog Lucy "used to her" and wouldn't be surprised in the afternoon. Throughout the stay, Kristin sent me a good amount of pictures and updates at least twice a day, often three. I highly recommend Kristin.”

About: Hi, I'm Ko! I have a deep love for animals that goes back as far as I can remember. I've spent 10+ years caring for dogs and building a genuine understanding of what animals need to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I believe a pet's emotional and mental wellbeing matters just as much as the physical basics. My goal is always for your pet to feel understood and at ease, whether that's a dog who needs a long run or a cat who just needs a calm, respectful presence in their space. Your pet is family. I make sure to treat them that way. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adapt to whatever routine works best for your pet. With structured routines, frequent updates, and fun weekend adventures, your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I work remotely part-time, so I have ample time to exercise, feed, and love on your pet! I have no problem with pets that may need more attention and keeping my time outside of the home brief (1-3 hrs.) When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their world as familiar and comfortable as possible. One of the primary ways I ensure your animals feel safe is by closely adhering to their routines so I follow feeding, medication, and exercise schedules closely and treat any deviations as the exception, not the norm. Before settling in, I do a quiet walkthrough to check for anything that could pose a risk—unsecured doors, open windows, potential hazards—so your pet's environment is as safe as it is comfortable. From there, I let the pet lead. Some warm up quickly, some take time, and I'm equally comfortable with both. Throughout every visit, I keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos. You should never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

“Dionie did a great job taking care of Prancis and providing updates. It was a last minute request but he was still able to come by and meet us before which I really appreciate. Prancis is a senior dog and he made her feel comfy and relaxed.”

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

“If we could leave Emily 10 stars we would! She takes such great care of our pup, Aalo. So much so that he whines when she leaves! Emily really understands dogs. She’s also highly responsive and communicative and very easy to work with. We can’t recommend her enough!”

Matt K.

“Sarah was a great sitter and I would definitely book with her again. I booked on short notice and she was very accommodating of my arrival and departure times which were a bit in flux. I came back to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Sarah!”

Laura H.

“Nicole did a great job at house/pet sitting. She was responsive, respectful, and made the whole process super smooth. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Nicole!”

About: Hi, this is Bryan! I have a 5 year-old Yorkie boy (and a cat). We go on walks 3-4 times a day, we clean our face, paws, pp, and butt after each walk. While my dog is a couch-potato when he’s with me, he enjoys meeting and playing with other dogs, big or small. Hair brushing can be therapeutic. My professional background is Marketing, Branding, and Communications. So communication is a big thing for me. I like clear instructions, asking questions, providing updates, etc. Look forward to connecting and helping you with your fur babies! I’m currently a full-time stay home pet parent. So my schedule is highly flexible. It would be great if my 8 lb Yorkie can tag along, but not a must. Also, it would be ideal if I can reserve 3-5 hours/day away from your house during house sitting, to run errands or grab dinner with my husband. Let’s chat and find out the best schedule that works for us. Communications is key. I’m willing to accommodate your requests in taking special care for your pet because you know them the best, and each pet has their own likes and dislikes.

“Alison was terrific! She came through at the last minute, and took great care of our pup. Communication was perfect, and she even left some separation-anxiety puppy music on for our guy.”

Alanna H.

“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. Veronica was great. She watched our dog today so we could do a 1/2 day rafting trip. She was punctual and took him for a few walks. It worked out perfectly.”

Jaynee T.

“Ashley is amazing! She has in-home sat our pets many times and she takes great care of both our puppy (Fern) and our Cat (Philip) - they can't wait to see her! Ashley is very communicative, she takes great photos and videos, and provides fun updates throughout the day. Would recommend her to anyone for exceptional care of your pets.”

“Caroline was wonderful with Yogi. They hit it off instantly and she was very engaging, considerate and caring with our young pup. We didn't have to worry about him for one second while we were out for the evening. Thanks so much, Caroline!”

Sneha V.

“Nicole did an excellent job looking after Bella and our home while we were on vacation. She’s super responsive and fast to answer texts and very straightforward to communicate with. We came back to a very clean home including laundered bed linens and a happy and relaxed dog. We couldn’t ask for more and we would work with Nicole again in a heartbeat! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone considering engaging her for a sit. Thank you so much Nicole. A+++++”

About: When I was 8, my family adopted a senior dog from Muttville named Lady. She was blind and deaf, and very high maintenance. I cared for her by helping make her food, carrying her up and down stairs, and gave her so much love up until she passed away. My family now owns a dog and a cat, and the care I learned from Lady now is implemented into my daily life with them both. Since discovering my love for animals, I have cared for my neighbors pets whenever they ask, and I always form a strong bond with each cat and dog on my street. I am available for any time throughout the week to care for your animals. I feed and walk my dog in the mornings, and play with my cat outside too! I make sure to spend a lot of time with the animals I look after, because I genuinely enjoy playing and forming a connection with them!

About: I grew up on a cattle farm in Alabama, so caring for animals is in my DNA. I live a very active lifestyle and know how to meet your pup exactly where they are, whether that’s a high-energy play session or run or a calm afternoon on the couch over a good book. Whether you’re working, traveling or just enjoying time with friends, giving your dog the love and care that they deserve requires a village. Let me be a part of that village by spoiling your family member with the warmth and attentiveness only an aunt could provide. My schedule is built around flexibility. I am an entrepreneur so dogs fit naturally into my day. Morning walks align with my gym routine, and I’m largely at home or local during the week. No rigid 9-to-5, which means your dog isn’t an afterthought squeezed into a lunch break. I adapt to you and your dog’s needs. I live near Golden Gate Park and an excellent dog park, so walks are always fun and never an afterthought.

“Jillian was great and responsible. My dog seemed happy to be with her.”

“Lauren is beyond great with our high-energy Labradoodle. She is very communicative, sends us photos and videos. She is flexible and easy to work with. Lauren is a find!”

Helen O.

“Celine gets five stars for house sitting and taking care of our doggie for two weeks. Celine was very responsive, sending regular messages with photos confirming all was well. When we returned our dog was a happy camper and our house was tidy and in good order. We would be happy to hire Celine again.”

About: I've had about 30 dogs throughout my life. My last dog Lola was a fully trained service dog. I seem to understand dogs and they understand me. I've never been bitten, and I'm well-versed in training dogs in a very kind and gentle way. I've always dreamed of being a dog sitter and finally, at this point in my life, I have the time to fulfill my lifelong dream. I'm responsible, and physically fit which allows me to handle multiple dogs when necessary. If the owner wants their dog to go on a long hike or a brisk walk it's something I can easily provide. This allows me to work with dogs of all ages and sizes. I've had experience in training many types of dogs including crate training puppies. I specialize in working with larger dogs typically in the 50 to 90+ lbs range. I watch my partner's 90 lbs dog regularly and I also watch two of her children's dogs which are 90 and 70 lbs. I have two daughters who grew up with many dogs from puppies to fully grown rescue dogs. There are many children who have never learned how to approach and interact with dogs. One of my passions is helping children learn how to approach a dog and learn the proper way to interact and get to know them. Especially, those who are scared and unfamiliar with the behaviors of different dogs. I'm primarily a writer and still do some IT Consultant project work. Taking care of dogs gives me the freedom to do the two things I love the most. Writing and hanging out with dogs. I have the freedom to be available when needed by the dog owner and have a very flexible schedule. I live in the Outer Richmond. I'm just a few blocks away from Lands End, Ocean Beach, and Golden Gate Park. I prefer to work with clients in the Presidio. Lincoln Park. Inner, Central, and Outer Richmond. Seaclift, Inter, Central, and Outer Sunset. Most of my work is done at the client's home and in the area. I'm very respectful of a client's home and property. My references can attest to the fact that I keep things clean and orderly. It's my policy to leave a client's home exactly as they left it. I have a clean and safe fenced-in backyard. While I live in a large 3-bedroom 2-bath flat I believe most dogs would enjoy the environment around me and not being stuck inside. I specialize in working with large dogs typically between 50 and 90 lbs. I've had well over 30 dogs throughout my life and have trained many of them. I fundamentally believe that a dog should have the most enjoyable life possible. They have a relatively short life span and should be allowed to be dogs within certain limits. In addition, I will always follow the directions given to me by the owner.

“Jessica did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! One of my cats has been having some urinary tract issues and needed medication every 8 hours and she took incredible care of him. I would definitely hire her again and I HIGHLY recommend her! She was extremely respectful of our home and our cats absolutely loved her!”
