“Amazing cat sitter!!! Aimi was very careful following my instructions and if smth wasn’t clear enough, she immediately asked me😃 She would take multiple videos of her playing with my fur balls and feeding them treats, it was Adorable 😊 She definitely went above and beyond: most sitters don’t wash pets’ bowls after they finish eating and don’t vacuum the whole floor around the litter box☺️ I couldn’t have done it better myself! Highly recommend 💛”

She followed our feeding instructions for Kitty perfectly, which gave us immense peace of mind. We especially appreciated that she took the time to play with Kitty, ensuring our furry friend got some much-needed attention while we were away. Thanks to Yu-Hsuan, we were able to travel without any worries, knowing Kitty was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs at home for 7 years. I’ve also volunteered at the SFSPCA since high school and at doggy day cares I work part time at a hospital so my schedule does change.

I keep pets happy, secure, and cared for in their familiar environment.
“Varshini was an incredible cat sitter for my 7 month and 5 month old kittens. She visited twice daily during my vacation, fed them wet food each time, played with them, changed the litter, and send dozens of fun photos of two happy kittens, who were obviously well cared for and happy. 10/10! Will definitely invite her back next time.”
“Monica provided us with so much peace of mind while we were out of town. We knew our cat was being well taken care of and she “forgave” us a lot sooner when we got home. We give Monica a lot of credit for that and highly recommend selecting her to care for your pets.”
“We needed a last-minute sitter and Vicky came to the rescue! She answered my email within minutes and available to meet up and feed my kitties within a short time frame. Vicky is very sweet, friendly, and communicative -- sending us timely updates. I would hire her again in an instant.”

About: My wife and I have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd who we love taking out on outdoor adventures. We love all dogs, and we consider any dog in our home to be our own. We only watch one dog at a time so each dog who stays with us gets individualized care and attention from us. We live in a two-bedroom condo with a small private backyard area. Dogs staying with us can expect ample cuddles, playtime with us and our Aussie, trips to a local field for fetch and outdoor play, and even a hike or a beach visit if desired/the weather is nice. We live very close to SFO (around 10 min drive or a 12 min bus ride), so we're a good option for plane travelers flying out of SFO. My wife and I work from home most days, so between the two of us we will be able to watch your dog, including taking them out for walks, potty breaks, etc. On days where we both have to go in to the office, I will communicate with you in advance and make sure the pup care is to your liking. We live close to SFO, so we're a good fit if you're flying out of town and need an easy and convenient place to board. Our dog is part of our family, and we will treat your dog the same. We have a large living room area for safe indoor playtime as well as a small fenced-in yard for outdoor play and potty breaks. Typical days at our place will involve one active outing per day (as long as you want us to!), be it a walk, a run, a play period in an outdoor field, or a hike or beach trip.
About: I have taken care of 2 dogs for the past 14 years and intermittently taken care of friends and neighbors pets for the past 3 years. I am very patient and would love to meet your pet! I am a part time student and I have plenty of time on weekends and most week days to spend time taking care of your pets. I would be happy to take your pets out on potty breaks, play with them and keep them company! I have a fenced backyard at my home and am very comfortable taking them out to use the bathroom and play!
About: Expect nothing but the best for your pet. I am a tenured veterinary technician and dog handler with years of experience working all over the Bay Area in clinics and doggy daycares . Here your pet is understood and accommodated with every specific need your pet might need. Every pet is given 1 on 1 time, and supported through positive reinforcement whether that’s reinforcing potty training or not pulling while walking on leash. Everything is included we have crates, beds, treats, toys and even a large fenced in field for your pet to play in. Everything to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable and having the best time while you’re away. I build my routine around your pets. They are walked every two hours and are let out on our fenced turf as needed. Enrichment activities come after every other walk which can include; sit circles, hide and seek, name game, new skills, and skill reinforcement which lasts for 30 minutes. Dogs are fed at 7am 12pm and 5pm unless there is already a schedule in place and bedtime is 9:30pm or as requested. I live in an in-law home, so my yard is completely fenced in, the backyard is completely fenced in. During client intake I will ask if your pet has any special needs or health concerns, this is only so I can accommodate them and know what an emergency for them would look like.
About: Experienced in walking small to large dogs, in home check-ins, overnight care (including puppies), bathing dogs, and some experience training puppies including potty training, basic commands, and attending puppy classes. Also experienced in treat giving and playing fetch. I enjoy not only leisurely walks but hiking and running, so more energetic pups are welcome to tag along on faster paced adventures. My top priority is safety and happiness, so on walks I provide water and adjust the pace based on age, breed, energy level, behavior, etc. I love to give positive attention and always follow instructions you provide so that they can maintain their routine. I’m currently working part-time while finishing grad school, and mostly just want to spend my time hanging out with dogs. Right now my schedule is very open, so I’m available for walks or check-ins any day of the week, even last minute. I’ve always viewed pets as family members, so when visiting a pets home I closely follow instructions to keep them comfortable and consistent in the routine they have with their family. Whether a visit involves medication, feeding, walks, playtime, or providing lots of attention, I always respect your/their home and prioritize their comfort and safety.
About: I have two dogs 🐕 I take care about them since they were a small ones, they’re not living with me since I started living here in San Francisco, but I know how to give them the food, going to the park and giving love. I love dogs since ever, I know how a pet is important in a persons life because they’re like sons and daughters. The importance of a walk for pets is really necessary for their healthiness and energy that they have on their body. The good care and love is even more important when you take care of a dog 🐶, you have to feel good to give goodness’s to the pet and to the owner. That’s it, I think the energy that you have is going to be better for yourself and the dog/cat that you’re going to care about.

“Michelle was fantastic! Very communicative and always responds in a timely manner. She went above and beyond to help while I was gone. My pup was so loved and she sent tons of photos so I could see how happy she was! Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Michelle!!”
About: Hello my name is Ana and I’ve been taking care of pets since 2020. When COVID hits I adopted my little dog Foxy, I immediately fall in love with her and we’ve been the best of friends since then (she is more like my daughter). I needed extra money around the pandemic so I started taking care of dogs, cats and rabbits. I also have experience with rodents and I have experience on injections and medication administration. I really consider animals as a part of my family and treat them as I will treat my little Foxy. I’m currently working full time, but I’m hybrid and I have a flexible schedule. I also work any day of the weekend at anytime, which give me a big flexibility to take care of pets. I have a fenced yard and a female dog! She is spayed and she is really sweet and loves to play. She is usually really kind with other dogs and get along easily. I really like to take dogs out 3-4 times a day for like around 30 minutes or do different activities like taking them to the dog park, beach or to a hiking trail.

Excellent Cat Sitting Services by Yu-Hsuan! We were so fortunate to have Yu-Hsuan care for our cat, Kitty, for seven days. From start to finish, the communication was incredibly smooth and clear. She followed our feeding instructions for Kitty perfectly, which gave us immense peace of mind. We especially appreciated that she took the time to play with Kitty, ensuring our furry friend got some much-needed attention while we were away. Thanks to Yu-Hsuan, we were able to travel without any worries, knowing Kitty was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend her!
Jen continues to go above and beyond for Cloak. She's attentive, thoughtful, and shows so much love to him, and she's been a great communicator and very flexible with us. We've been able to take longer trips away thanks to her, and our normally anxious boy is so calm and normal when we get home now. When our plans have changed last minute, or when we have new needs and requests as our boy ages, Jen has been a joy to work with. Highly recommended!!
Tessa is very intuitive around animals! She spent time with my cats during a initial introduction and ably engaged even my more introverted and skittish cat. She was prompt and diligent during her visits and with communication. I appreciated her service and am so grateful she was able to care for them while I was out of town. 10/10 :)
Kahren was extremely helpful when dropping in on my two cats while I was away! We have a lot of automation to take care of our cats (wet and dry feeders, water fountain, and Litter Robot) and Kahren was very detailed in checking in and refilling all of these! We even had an issue with our Litter Robot and Kahren was extremely thorough with debugging the issue. My oldest cat Shoyu warmed up to her very quickly. If I ever need drop-in care for my cats again I'd love to rebook with her!
Anna was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our three cats, making sure each one got the attention they needed. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and daily updates that gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
