Pet Sitting in South San Francisco

“Sofia was great. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and filled in some gaps that I didn't think to write down. The animals clearly loved her and barely seemed to notice that we'd been gone when we got back. Very trustworthy and kind to our pets.”

About: Hi, I am Shao, a full time sitter , your pet’s temporary best friend. I provide reliable, loving pet care with a healthy dose of humor and a lot of homemade treats (approved by you, of course). I’ve cared for dogs who think they’re lap-sized, cats who think I don’t exist, and pets who need meds, patience, or extra snuggles. I believe in sticking to routines, sending lots of photo updates, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Walks are tailored, playtime is enthusiastic, and naps are mandatory—for both of us. Your pet will be well-cared-for, well-loved, and possibly convinced I’m part of the family. In 2013, our family was adopted by a 3-month-old Pomeranian puppy who quickly became the center of our world. We shared ten joyful years filled with laughter, cuddles, and plenty of unforgettable moments. He truly brightened our lives, and I loved him more than anything. Though we said goodbye in 2023, I know he lived a full, happy life—and he left me with a lifelong love for dogs and a lot of practice spoiling them. I live just three blocks from a wonderful park featuring a gated basketball court, a kids’ playground, and a wide open grassy field that’s perfect for walks, playtime, and serious sniffing adventures. Your pup will have plenty of space to stretch their legs, explore, and enjoy the outdoors—while being cared for with patience, affection, and a whole lot of heart. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love helping you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to establish a long term relationship with you whenever you need some extra support. I promise to love your furry friends as my own. My goal is to make their stay fun, safe, and stress-free. Your pet will be safe, loved, and slightly spoiled. Because I am a full time pet sitter, pet care is a big part of my everyday life. My husband would help me when he works from home. I start the morning with potty breaks and a walk, then plan my day around each pet’s needs—feeding times, playtime, enrichment activities, and cuddles. I’m home often, so pets get consistent supervision and companionship. Weekends are also free for longer walks, or more outdoor time. I have a fenced yard and plenty of indoor running space. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable space. I’m attentive, follow routines closely, and always prioritize safety on walks and at home.

About: I have hands-on pet care experience through caring for my own two cats, an 8-year-old American Shorthair and a 3-year-old Ragdoll. Taking care of them every day has taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort, and overall well-being. Since they have very different temperaments, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves care that respects their individual needs and preferences. What sets me apart is that I’m especially patient, gentle, and observant. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, mood, and health, and I truly care about making them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also very responsible about following instructions carefully, whether that means feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, or other specific preferences. I love sending photo updates as well, so pet owners can feel reassured while they’re away. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and gentle small dogs, and I do best with pets who benefit from calm, attentive, and thoughtful care. I provide pet care as part-time work alongside my full-time job. I’m mainly available after 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends. Spending time with animals is truly one of the best parts of my day, and I’m happy to give pets caring, attentive companionship when their owners are away or busy. I treat every pet with patience, gentleness, and respect. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet. In a client’s home, I always follow instructions carefully, pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort, and do my best to help them feel safe, calm, and cared for.

“Jaron did an excellent job caring for our cat Bailee. He is personable and has excellent communication skills. Thank you Jaron for the wonderful pet care and for putting our minds at ease.”

“Sandra was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very patient and gentle with our three very shy cats. We really appreciated how carefully she followed all of our instructions—it was clear she was attentive and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”

“So happy to have found Sarah! We lost a long time sitter of ours and have had a hard time finding one since. Thank you Sarah for stopping in to take care of our babies for an hour! Sarah is extremely thorough with all of our little notes we left for our pups care. We love getting all the photos when we aren’t with them! Highly recommend!”

“Jasmine was the most amazing pet sitter! She sent me so many videos of my cat who I missed terribly while I was gone, and she took care of her like her own. I will definitely be calling her if I need a cat-sitter again, and thank you for treating her so special and making sure she was happy and looked after.”

About: I've pet sat for family pets for a while - dogs, cats, and birds - and then just 2 years ago I started dog sitting for non-family members who I got recommended to (a total of 3 non-family member pets). Mostly my responsibilities were to walk (on and off leash), feed, play, and for some pups give medicine. Pretty basic stuff! I do also have a dog who we got as a puppy (he's about to be 5 in May 2026) so I have a little bit of experience there. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged in ages, I think the youngest (that was not my dog) was 7 years old and the oldest was 12 years old. No special skills or anything like that, but I won't pass up the opportunity to learn something new. I'm currently unemployed but have a full-time pre-apprenticeship program that starts May 11th, 2026 and ends in July 31st, 2026. Which will have me gone from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Other than that, my schedule is open until then and after I finish. I assume that drop-ins will be most of what I can take on, or overnights if it's okay to be gone for that long during the day. But, as of March 2026-April 2026 I am pretty flexible. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to pet sit at my place since it's a full house. For every pet I've taken care of, I was in a house sitting situation, except for the most recent dog I've been walking who is okay to just be walked and fed. But, I totally understand the pets who need the company throughout the day/night. Each dog is super different and my goal is to adjust as best as I can to their needs!

About: The pet industry is my absolute passion. Being someone who grew up with dogs and wanting to care for them 24/7 has driven me to strive for a career in Veterinary Medicine. From caring for my own dogs and now cats, to working at facilities or even veterinary clinics. I see animals as my absolute love and passion. I’m currently completely open to take any bookings! My animals are on their own schedules as well. Other than being in pet care I am a student in a self paced trade school for Veterinary Medicine. I have training in animal restraint for both cats and dogs. I’ve been through behavioral training for both cats and dogs as well. Safety is my biggest priority for any and all animals.

“I booked Sin Hang last minute once I realized I desperately need help with my new rescue. She was very responsive, easy to communicate, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this sitter.”

I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Katrina has watched Cloak twice now, and she’s been wonderful! He warms up to her immediately and he’s been in a good mood whenever we get back. Communication and photos have been great, and Katrina’s been a big help watching over our strawberries too!!”

“Ty has been amazing helping us take care of our 9 week old bernedoodle puppy. We appreciate that he took the time to meet us prior to working with us. Our puppy Kona really enjoys being with him and Ty is very communicative and prompt. He arrives on time, sends details and pictures with every visit.”

About: Hi there! We are Min and Florence. We have grown up with pets our whole lives and now have a beautiful rescue pup that we share together. We are familiar with friendly or anxious/shy dogs as our dog was rescued from the dog meat trade. We would love to get to know your pets and take good care of them! We work from home so we have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to walking the dogs or stopping by to check on someone's pet. If you would like your dog to have a buddy, we are more than happy to bring our own pup along on walks. If they prefer to be alone, just let us know as we are more than happy to accommodate.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach and genuine love for animals. Having spent two years caring for coworkers’ dogs, I’ve developed a strong ability to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and routines. I don’t just watch over pets—I build a bond with them, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Additionally, my experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments has made me adaptable and attentive. I prioritize clear communication with owners, providing updates, photos, and ensuring peace of mind. Reliability, patience, and a commitment to top-quality pet care make me stand out in a field where trust is everything. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because I prioritize it as a natural part of my day. I plan my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’ve been caring for coworkers’ dogs for the past two years, I’m experienced in balancing pet care with other responsibilities while ensuring that every dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment by maintaining their regular routines, offering plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I ensure they have food and water, a cozy resting area, and follow any special care instructions from their owners. Safety and companionship are my top priorities.
