Pet Sitting South Of Market

About: I have over 15 years of experience in caring for ALL kinds of animals; including both dogs and cats, and many more! I also have a special interest in plants and do very well with them. I’d love to sit for you! I am mostly working on assignments from day to day with a lot of free time and can care for animals at their own house as a home stay or I can also come and do drop ins. I have tons of experience caring for animals and homes in several different states and countries for around 15 years, and animals typically love me! I care for animals and homes as if they are my own; with love and attention to detail and respect as individuals. I follow the golden rule; to treat others as you wish to be treated. I follow instructions and wishes from clients explicitly, and if there are no instructions given, I provide excellent care based on a myriad of experiences.

“Jodie was great!! Super attentive to detail and took great care of our pup. We got lots of pictures and communication from her the whole time, so we always felt connected with our fur baby back at home. Would book again!”

Patrick T.

“Yue Yue is very responsible, kind, and send us picture as assurance that Cujo and Kracken are both doing well. Very helpful what we need, good communication, very flexible and reliable! Definitely using her again! Recommend her to anyone who needs kitties sitting! Thank you!”

About: I’m a passionate dog lover and the proud owner of a sweet, medium multi-gen Doodle who is incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. My dog is fully socialized and loves making new playmates, meaning your pup will have an instant best friend and built-in playdates during their stay! ​I truly believe dogs are the best things in the world, and I treat every guest pup with the same love, structure, and attention as my own. Whether it’s active playtime, cozy cuddles, or maintaining their daily routine, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time in tech, which means my weekdays are generally busy. However, I am happy to host weekday boarding for small, independent dogs who are comfortable relaxing nearby while I work. ​My weekends, on the other hand, are entirely dedicated to dog adventures! Since I spend my weekends hanging out and playing with my own friendly dog, Monday, your pup will get undivided attention, plenty of outdoor time, and a built-in playmate. If you need weekend boarding, daycare, or walking, please reach out—I'd love to help I live in a cozy, dog-friendly 1-bedroom apartment near SF City Hall. It’s the perfect, secure size to comfortably host up to two dogs at a time, ensuring everyone gets plenty of personal space and one-on-one attention. We also have a wonderful, trusted group of local dog-owner friends nearby for safe, supervised socialization. ​Safety is my top priority. My home is fully dog-proofed. While my own pup is fully free-roaming, I keep a clean, extra-large crate on hand. If your dog feels more secure sleeping or resting in a crate, I am more than happy to set it up to make them feel right at home.

“Alison was excellent! She is kind, responsible, helpful and we will definitely book her again. She followed all our instructions and went above and beyond them. Thank you for watching our cats!”

Annmarie H.

“Marianna clearly loves cats and gave me an interesting and thoughtful suggestion of hiding treats around the apartment to stimulate my cat's curiosity. She did an excellent job and I would hire her again.”

Sana H.

“Brittany is great! She was super responsive, thoughtful, kind, and professional. My puppy was under great care with Brittany”

Masha S.

“Anne Marie was great and thoughtful enough to come over early to meet Lucy and get the details. Lucy was immediately smitten. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter and dog walker with a genuine love for animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently own a German Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable caring for large, strong, and active dogs. I also grew up with a Cockapoo, which gave me experience with smaller breeds and different exercise and care needs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks, play their favorite games, follow their normal routines, and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for. I currently have full-time availability, which allows me to be very flexible with scheduling and spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or someone dependable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I always prioritize safety, communication, reliability, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and loved! Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or visits, and I’m happy to work around each dog’s normal routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate preferences, and any special rules for the home. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I pay close attention during walks, keep dogs safely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and care. As a German Shepherd owner, I am comfortable caring for dogs with different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I understand how important patience, structure, and consistency are, especially when caring for strong or high-energy dogs. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident.

“Polina took time out of her busy schedule to come and meet my large dog to go over important walking and feeding procedure. She was so warm and loving, and put my anxious thoughts to rest when I saw her capabilities to confidently handle my large dog. We will be reoccurring clients, for sure!”

About: Stanford professional and gentle dog lover who works 5 days/week from home in South Beach Soma SF. I can only accommodate 1-2 dogs (max) in my 1-BR condo and as I build my boarding experience, giving your dog(s) personalized attention and hugs and love. If you have 2 dogs, they will totally love being alone with me in my clean, cozy condo! I send regular pics and videos to you, so you can have a happy and care-free trip/vacation! And take them down regularly for walks and bio-breaks. :) ADVANTAGES: - Small dog groups (1-2 maximum) - Personalized 1-on-1 attention - Flexible scheduling (appts and cancellations) - Convenient location (easy drop-off/pick-up) DISCLAIMER: I don’t have much experience with untrained puppies and older dogs with complex medication routines. I work from home 5 days/week and can take care of your dogs during the week and weekend (especially long/holiday weekends). I can take them for walks as often as needed, due to my flexible work hours (I barely have any meetings/Zoom calls). You can schedule drop-off and pick-up anytime during the day or night. I live in a 800-sq ft 1-bedroom condo in South Beach SoMa, in the middle of the city, easy for drop-offs and pick-ups. Cute small balcony with artificial grass, where your dogs can sunbathe and enjoy fresh air for hours. Multiple elevators for going up and down (no stairs for your dog to climb). I only wish to accommodate 1 dog at a time, but 2 dogs are fine if they are siblings. If you have 2 dog siblings, this is the perfect place to drop them off, as they will be the only dogs with me.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and currently have a 2-year-old pup of my own. Previously, I worked at a dog daycare in Korea, where I gained hands-on experience in handling dogs of various breeds and temperaments. During my time there, I also learned proper grooming techniques, including brushing and handling dogs in a gentle and stress-free manner. As a full-time pet sitter, I am always at home, ensuring constant supervision and companionship. I take dogs out for short walks every 2-3 hours and regularly visit the dog park for exercise and socialization. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love while in my care! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, as I am home all day and always available to give dogs the attention and care they need. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, going for walks, or simply providing companionship. Since I have plenty of time to dedicate to them, I can ensure they stay happy, engaged, and well-cared for throughout the day! I have a 2-year-old neutered male dog who is very friendly and loves to play. In my home, pets will always have a companion to keep them entertained and engaged. Since I am home all day, I provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I take dogs out for short walks every 2-3 hours and visit the dog park regularly for exercise and socialization. I also make sure they feel comfortable and safe by following their usual routines, providing a cozy environment, and giving them plenty of attention and care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each pet feels loved, happy, and well cared for.

“It was a great pleasure working with Matt, he’s on time for every visit and is super responsive to messages. He made sure all care was done per instructions.

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I’ve cared for animals my entire life—starting with family pets as a kid and continuing into adulthood. I’m that person who always stops to say hi to dogs on the street and offers treats to the neighbor’s pup. While now isn’t the right time for me to have a dog of my own, I’d love nothing more than to care for yours like family. What sets me apart from other sitters? It’s the genuine joy I get from spending time with animals, plus decades of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs—puppies who need patience and training, seniors who need a gentle touch, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs active play, calm companionship, or special attention, I adapt to their personality and needs. I only care for one pet at a time, which means your dog gets my full attention, personalized care, and a stress-free environment that feels like home. My home is a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with lots of love, belly rubs, and safety first. You can count on timely updates, adorable photos, and honest communication every step of the way. Let’s give your dog their next favorite staycation! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals are a top priority in my day-to-day life. I work in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but I make sure every pet in my care gets a walk or bathroom break first thing in the morning and again as soon as I get home. Most weekday evenings, I do step out for about an hour to go to the gym, but otherwise, I’m home and available for plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I’m fully available Friday through Monday, which allows for a more flexible, hands-on schedule—perfect for pets that need extra attention or time outside. Whether it’s a relaxing weekend with a senior pup or a full-on playdate with an energetic cat or dog, I’m ready and excited to provide loving care tailored to their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and every animal is treated like family. For dog stays, I’m lucky to have a green space and dog park just a 5-minute walk from my home, making potty breaks and playtime easy, safe, and consistent. I always use a secure leash and harness system and never take chances when it comes to your dog’s safety outdoors. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined. I make sure they feel secure and seen—even the shy ones! Whether your pet needs medications, enrichment, or just some quiet companionship, you can count on me for thoughtful, attentive care. Clear communication, reliability, and trust are the foundation of how I work. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.
