“Marisela is amazing! and very helpful especially under short notice. Our puppy loves her very much and she was great about changing her pad if she had any accidents and filling her water bowl. I didn't expect her to go beyond the walk but we definitely appreciated it.”



“I’m so glad I found Cheryll! She is the most responsive provider I’ve communicated with, and my little guy was immediately comfortable with her. Will definitely be requesting her services again. Thank you Cheryll!!”


“My schedule kept changing because of my kids and my nephew, but Tyrone was super easy to talk to and really flexible. He’s always on time, friendly, and takes great care of Ziggy on their walks. I’d definitely book him again!”



“Meghann has walked our dogs several times now and think she is great. We had a meet-n-greet first so our dogs could briefly familiarize themselves with her. Even though one of our dogs tends to be shy around new people, Meghann is always able to gain her trust so she is able to go on with the walk. We recently contacted Meghann on short notice and she was able to accommodate us like a champ. Communication is always great; we love getting all the status updates during the walk and summaries after she's done. We would definitely contact Meghann again.”



“Monica did a great job walking our dog. She walked further than she has in months with a Rover as she can be a bit stubborn :). Very communicative throughout and even thought ahead to ask us for towels as it was supposed to rain!”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets needing extra patience, medication, and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family, focusing on safety, comfort, and love. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or sticking to a special routine, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently available all says minus Tuesdays and will be starting an online school program on July 7th. Since my classes are remote through the end of December 2025, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care for your pets. I can easily coordinate walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays around my coursework, so your pet’s routine stays stress-free and uninterrupted. When I’m caring for pets, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I stick closely to their normal routine, follow all care instructions carefully, and make sure they’re never left unattended in unsafe situations. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, supervision, and play. I’m also respectful of your home and privacy, keeping everything clean and secure while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet and your space with the same care I would my own.

About: I love animals and have had cats all my life. My dad was a huge cat lover and seems to have passed that down to my sister and me as well. I have two cats of my own and have been unofficially cat sitting for my community for the past three years. I have a few regulars I sit for. I enjoy getting to know cats and their varied personalities, I find them fascinating. I currently live with one very social cat and one super shy cat, so I have an understanding of what kind of attention different cats require. I go out on my way to take care of cats depending on what their personalities need and dictate I’m available for most of the day, as I work part time. I would be happy to work around your preferred schedule to look in on your fur babies. Please let me know if you have specific feeding times or are more flexible with drop ins. Thank you I appreciate detailed instructions from the cat’s guardian telling me everything I need to know about the cat so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. They will still miss having their favorite human beings around but I do everything I can to cater to their needs and wants. I also have experience with giving medication to cats that require it.

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.

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.
