“Long overdue review for Geri, who was amazing with my pup Stella! Stella needed some extra love and care post-disc surgery, which she got and then some. Geri was so great about the long list of Stella how-to's, as well as with sending status updates and pics to calm me down during my trip away that my worrying was minimal :D Thank you again for taking such great care of Stella, highly recommended!”
“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“Wonderful experience! I am so happy & relieved. Katie kept me posted & answered all my questions. This was our first sleepover & we can’t wait to come back ! Thank you Katie!”
“Albina took great care of Abby. This was my very first time leaving her with a sitter and I was a very anxious momma! Albina was patient with me and put my anxiety at ease with ongoing communication, pictures, and videos. I would definitely recommend Albina!”
“Hank asked a lot of good questions about Sparky, helping is to feel confident that he would be responsive to her needs. She came home happy & settled after her stay. We also appreciated the photos Hank sent - very thoughtful.”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog dad for 18 years, most recently caring for my senior baby through her final years, including a custom home-cooked diet for kidney health. I said goodbye to her earlier this year, and while I’m not ready to bring home a baby of my own just yet, I miss having one around every day. Sitting and boarding lets me give that same love and attention to other babies in the meantime. I know how to spot subtle changes in appetite, energy, and mood, and I treat every baby in my care like my own. I work from home full-time in a flexible role, so your baby gets consistent company and attention all day, not just quick check-ins. I’m available for daytime care and overnight boarding. Your baby stays in a calm, quiet home with my full attention, no chaotic multi-dog daycare energy. I live right near a park, so your pup gets as many walks as they need to stay active and socialized, not just a quick backyard break. I’m also experienced with senior dogs, special diets, and medication schedules, and I treat every stay like I’m caring for family.
“Had an amazing experience with Molly and Stephen and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They took such great care of my boy, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving, capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Timely updates, photos, and thoughtful check ins that gave me total peace of mind. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got him back, which says everything. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and trustworthy. Exactly what you hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Kobe 🤍🐾”
“Matthew and Bryant took wonderful care of our Reba! They sent daily updates and included Reba on all of their adventures. They even took her to the beach! We felt that Reba was very well cared for and we got back a very happy puppy. We would absolutely recommend Matthew and Bryant to anyone!”
“Wonderful care and excellent communication from Sherry. We did a meet and greet which went well, before she took him for the holiday week while I visited family overseas. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Sherry and her lovely little dog. He was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. We don't leave him very often but I would not hesitate to take him back to Sherry in the future . So grateful to have found her.”
“Vanda has watched Bridger multiple times now and every time she takes such good care of him! He always comes back happy and tired, exactly what you want as a dog parent!”
“Cesar and his partner took care of my little man last minute. Stewart is a senior and is a newer rescue to me and has less than perfect house training skills. We're working on them at home and have a good routine but I wasn't sure how he would be at a strangers home. I didn't hear much about it which I appreciate because I was worried for any hassle incurred. I received several updates and pictures where it was clear Stewart was well taken care of. I would give Cesar and his partner 10 stars if I could, so thankful to them both for their excellent care of my little one.”
“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“Meg was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and messages throughout our trip that Val was happy and safe. As first time users, we will definitely be calling on her more often. I have no doubt Val can’t wait for her next stay.”
“Leaving your dog with someone can always be stressful, but once I met Allison and her husband, Gordon, I was instantly at ease. You can tell that they truly care about your pet. Not only do they care about your pet, but their well behaved dog, Moses, will care about your pet too! He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. I own a larger dog and their yard and house allows plenty of space for your bigger dog to run around and relax. Also the line of communication with them went above and beyond. Another great attribute that will help put you at ease while you enjoy your vacation. Each day I had several uploaded pictures to look at, and seeing his happy face allowed me to continue my trip worry free. I wouldn't hesitate to book my dog with them again. ”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Christina is fantastic! She took great care of our blind and deaf dog, Taffy. Christina sent pictures, videos and messages every day while we were away. Taffy was obviously happy at Christina's house and, while she was glad to see us when we returned, we're pretty sure she's already looking forward to more time with Christina!”
“My pup had a great overnight stay at Julie's! Pick up and drop off was very smooth and she was a great communicator/quick responses. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Eric was amazing and went above and beyond while housesitting for our two cats! This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad we booked with Eric. From the start, he was helpful, communicative, and had such positive energy during our meet & greet. Throughout his stay, he sent daily updates and photos. Charlie and Olive were so happy and clearly well cared for. He has great attention to detail and even remembered something I only mentioned in passing that wasn't in the house guide. As a bonus, the house was spotless when we got backs. The sheets were washed, the bed was made, and everything was tidy. Eric, thank you for your thoughtfulness, kindness, and care. We truly appreciate you! So do Charlie and Olive! And we hope that you are available for future visits (besides the ones we have already booked!)”
“Joseph did an awesome job taking care of Piccolo. Easy to communicate with, responsive, handled complicated instructions with no fuss, and clearly enjoyed hanging out with our babygirl.”
“Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.”
About: Your pup will be in good hands! If you're new to Rover, use my code to save $20! NANCYC19805 My partner Andy and I both have flexible hybrid work schedules l so your pet will have plenty of care and attention throughout the day! We live in a 3 story home with a backyard and long driveway for dog runs. We live 10 minutes from 2 great parks. We both grew up with pets, both cats and dogs. Our rescue pup Coco passed away in Fall 2022 and we miss her very much. We now have Lulu (a sweet 9yo french bulldog) who we rescued from the same organization. Through our foster and Rover experiences, we have cared for many animals with different needs. We have experience with pets with mobility needs, shy/nervous pets, and pets that need medication. Although we have stairs, we are happy to carry your pet up and down the stairs, and we have a ramp to help them up the couch. We currently work from home and can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they need. We typically do 2 longer walks and 2 short walks a day, but let us know what works best for your pup! On the weekends, we like to go to the park nearby or drive to parks in different neighborhoods and walk around. Let us know if there's anything special in taking care of your pet and we'll accommodate. I have a fenced yard to allow for quick breaks for your pet. We allow pets on our couch for cuddles, as long as they behave. Typically, we crate dogs at night, so please bring your dog’s crate for overnight stays. We have stairs leading up to our living room. We are happy to carry your pup up if under 30 lbs.
About: I’m happiest exploring the hills and beaches around the Bay—and everything is better with a dog! I’d love to give your pup a fun, attentive adventure while getting us both plenty of fresh air, exercise, and beach time. I also love hanging out with older dogs doing quiet meditative sniff walks around the neighborhood, doing doggy massage, and gentle play. I love dogs and cats but am currently in housing that isn't open to pets so it's medicine for my heart to get to hang out with your family four legger. I am a middle school classroom teacher with 5 years of experience in SF classrooms. I'm taking a year off from the classroom, applying to programs, and am trying to support myself in a gentle way that helps me connect and stay fit. I'm working part-time as a zoom host for my Zen community but have wide availability for dog walking and pet sitting. I treat every client’s home with care and respect, and I follow all instructions closely—including feeding, fresh water, medications, routines, and house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates securely closed, clean up after them, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
“Madison was an excellent sitter for my cat Kira. He was super thorough ahead of time - making sure that all details/logistics of the sitting experience were accounted for and that he knew where everything was. He also sent pictures throughout his stay and took it upon himself to ensure that Kira was having a good time (he set up a new window-watching spot next to where he was physically sitting in my apartment so Kira could be closer to him). I highly recommend Madison and would definitely have him watch Kira again!”

I do have experience with on and off-leash training, and giving pets medications, not just humans! Pets are family, and they deserve the best quality care. 😊♥️🐾 I will keep my availability updated, I work three 12 hour shifts a week, so on my off days I am open! I get my schedule a month in advance as well. I can do drop-in visits, and walking/play time! I have a lot of experience with dog training, my pup is a service dog!
“Abigale was the best, very communicative, flexible, attentive and kind. My cats are very shy, I was shocked when she sent me photos of them out. The boys were so happy and my apartment in pristine shape when I came home. 10/10 would recommend”
“Michelle was great! Very attentive to our sweet, needy cat and made the holiday process quite smooth. She was able to take time to meet our kitty before, which helped a lot too.”
“Lauren was phenomenal to work with Kevin loved her! She was very communicative and thorough. Definitely will be having her check on my Kevin in the future!”
“Joslyn responded to a very last minute request and was fantastic looking after my June for a few days! She had an ear infection and required ear drops and Joslyn was very patient in wrangling her and making sure she didn’t miss her medicine while I was out of town. Also loved the consistent updates and safe handling of my keys + space. Really appreciate her help and would totally book her again.”
“Matt took awesome care of our two kitties! They looked super happy and chill when we got back from our trip. Communication was great throughout and Matt was very flexible and accommodating. We were a new client and we Zoomed to show Matt around/instructions, which was greatly appreciated in these pandemic times. Thanks again Matt!”
“Jeremy could not have been a more attentive sitter for both our home and Potato. He went above and beyond what would be expected to be sure Potato was happy and comfortable and we came home to a well cared for space. Thank you!”

“Renee and Christopher are wonderful. My senior dog loves going to stay with them. They are loving and kind and accommodating to my dog’s eating needs. It is such a relief to know our dog Jeffrey is in good hands when we are away. They provide me with photos and anecdotes throughout the day.”
“Kira was fabulous! We booked last minute for a long day and Kira was willing to wake up before the sun rose and meet us right on time. She sent tons of updates throughout the day including photos and our pup came back happy! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sean was amazing. It was clear that he cared about the wellbeing of my dog and he made sure that I felt comfortable leaving my pup with his dog and cat. He brings a calming presence, which I’m sure many puppy owners can appreciate. It was also my dog’s one of first times interacting with a cat, and Sean handled it like a pro. He sent frequent updates with pictures and videos which I really appreciated. His dog, Opal, was also very sweet and got along with my dog really well. I definitely recommend him and would go back again next time.”
“Great experience with Vanessa! She was super friendly and accommodating to my late evening pick up; made everything super easy. Her dog is also super cute and friendly.”
“Indy always loves her time with Robert & Marty! She pulls me to take her in with a non-stop wiggly tail! She always comes home tired and happy. Definitely her favorite place away from home. They absolutely know how to make a pup feel loved and cared for!”
“Theresa watched Figo for a second time, and he was so happy to see her! She helped me reinforce his training in staying off furniture, which is a problem we have been trying to address for a while. Thank you, Theresa!”
About: I’ve hosted dogs for many years of various ages. Some have had anxiety and medication needs as well. My dog loves having friends over. I work from home full time so they receive a lot of attention. I’m taking a break from full time work so I’m very flexible with timing of walks and frequency as well. I have full availability on most days. My dog is very adjustable with timings as well I’m able to adjust to various dog’s needs. I have experience crating dogs. Usually if they are non shedding they are allowed on all the furniture and bed. I can take dogs out for however long they need, and have flexibility with timing.
“Fabiano was super great with my puppy Taco and Taco loved hanging out with him! We’ll definitely be going back. Fabiano also sent pics and videos and communicated quickly to let us know how Taco was doing. 10/10 would recommend :)”

Was very understanding after something held me up at work and had to extend daycare for an hour. Would have her watch him again when we need her again.”
“Jaynine and her partner were amazing with Kona! Every time I picked her up, she was exhausted and happy, which shows she had a wonderful time playing with their other dogs. Kona clearly enjoyed her stay, and I will definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend!”

Love all dogs (and cats too) Currently working part-time and other gig work, flexable/free most days and nights.

“Anne Marie is a wonderful dog walker! She communicates well and sends lots of pictures from their walk. My dog always looks so happy when she is with her. I really appreciate knowing my pet is happy and taken care of while I’m working!”
About: Three years at an SPCA animal shelter taught me to read dogs of every breed, age, and temperament, from anxious rescues to energetic and rambunctious bigger dogs. As the parent of a senior rescue with anxiety and a finicky appetite, I bring hands-on experience with senior care, calming techniques, and patient, attentive handling that puts nervous dogs at ease. I’m currently between roles and actively interviewing for full-time positions, which has opened up a great routine for dog care. I’m reliably available early mornings after 7am till evening 7pm PT. Weekends are flexible and worked out based on requests as they come in, so I’m happy to accommodate what fits your schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first, whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at my place. I have a private balcony at home for supervised outdoor time, plus a big community playground nearby that’s great for extra space to play, sniff around, and burn off energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, from leash handling to knowing when a dog needs a calmer, quieter space instead.
“Frank is reliable, quick to respond, and a communicative dog walker! We would absolutely book him again for dog walking. He got along great and had no issues with our senior pups who have leash reactivity.”
“Chris was awesome and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their dog! His communication was timely throughout the process, from initial messaging to booking to the actual walks themselves. Chris had a great connection with our pup from the second they met and you can tell he really loves dogs and has a great time with them. He followed all directions we left for him and took our dog on great walks while we were gone. Chris truly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using his services again in the future!”

About: I have eight years of experience working with dogs and know how to handle a dog on a leash. I am good at watching dogs in a group setting I am watching them making sure that no fights break out I can prevent fights from happening I am very knowledgeable of dog behavior. I have also worked at many different doggy daycare/boarding facilities so I very much understand dog behavior and can watch multiple dogs at once. I also like watching other dogs interact with each other before I let the dog that I am walking interact with one of those other dogs so that nothing bad happens. I am available to walk your dog anytime of day any day of the work weekends included as this will most likely be my main source of income for the time being Unfortunately, I don’t have a big enough yard for a dog to run around, but I do live near a dog park that’s fenced in. I would prefer if I could watch the pets at the client’s house, as it would be very beneficial for the pet as they are more in the house they live in.
About: been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I currently have three dogs of my own and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels.... including senior dogs. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m comfortable adjusting walks and care to what each dog needs, whether that’s a high-energy walk, a slower-paced stroll, or just some extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I’m currently looking to add dog walking a couple of days a week to my schedule and would love to spend that time helping other dog owners while getting to hang out with some new four-legged friends! I’m currently available for dog walking Monday through Wednesday and have flexibility throughout the day. I have three dogs of my own, so caring for and walking dogs is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’d love to use my extra availability to help other pet owners make sure their dogs get the exercise, attention, and outdoor time they need. I treat every dog I care for like I would my own. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, comfort level, energy, and individual needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep dogs safely leashed and supervised on walks, and pay close attention to their surroundings. As a lifelong dog owner with three dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets.
About: I've loved animals ever since I was a little kid. I have more fun taking care of animals than anyone I know. Simple as that. I recently moved to San Francisco from Houston, Texas, where I walked dogs at the local animal shelter. I would walk a wide variety of dogs including Golden Retrievers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and many more. I used to have a Husky and did all the training myself beginning when he was 8 weeks old. I trained him how to roll over, jump, and bark on command. I can honestly say I have a passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to make sure your dog stays active, healthy, and happy by getting the exercise they deserve.
“My poochie had the BEST time with Tim. He’s so attentive and kind and somehow spoke her language. She behaved for him so good on their first outing. I’m super pleased and happy and look forward to their weekly visits.”

I'm currently working part time and would love to care and spend time with your furry friends because I love animals and it's what makes me happy. I am free for boarding weekdays and weekends. Drop ins and walks are also mainly weekdays and some weekends. I live in a 2 story house with access to a backyard and 2 private dog friendly parks in a gated community. Your pet would sleep in my room with me next to my bed and have room to roam around upstairs and downstairs.

“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“Had an amazing experience with Molly and Stephen and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They took such great care of my boy, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving, capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Timely updates, photos, and thoughtful check ins that gave me total peace of mind. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got him back, which says everything. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and trustworthy. Exactly what you hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Kobe 🤍🐾”
“Meg was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and messages throughout our trip that Val was happy and safe. As first time users, we will definitely be calling on her more often. I have no doubt Val can’t wait for her next stay.”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Brianna and Jerry did a great job taking care of Domingo who is a 1 and 1/2-year-old mix of labrador and Shepherd, and he is high energy. They sent videos and photos everyday and ask me questions about Domingo's diet. They also helped with training him not to pull on the leash. They both love dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but am back home usually by 5:15. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
“They took great care of our furbaby while we were out of town. Walks, loving care, outings and updates to us. Our dog was happy and healthy on our return. We are grateful for their efforts that allowed us to gather with family out of town.”
“Jillian was amazing with my slightly neurotic dog! He came back happy and relaxed, which is absolutely not always the case. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Wei took such amazing care of Maple! Maple’s a rescue dog who’s anxious around new people and Wei was so patient and loving with her! Maple had a blast and loved being with River.”
“Jose took great care of our 11 yo pup and followed all instructions as shared. He also provided updates via photographs on how it was going. Definitely recommend!”
“Elissa and Andy took such great care of my girl!!! This was Marvel’s second time staying with them and I would totally book with them again. They were super attentive to her needs and were very considerate of her anxiety. I got frequent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Thank you Elissa and Andy!”
About: I just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I have a flexible schedule and can check in on your animal throughout the day. I have experience with cats and dogs - and have 2 cats myself! I just moved to the city and my partner and I have flexible work from home hour. We would love to watch your furry friends while you’re away. I treat all animals that I watch as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities when watching your pets.
“Jennifer was lovely and great with Theo. He seemed to have a blast going to Fort Funston and playing with her dogs in her backyard. She sent me updates while I was away and when I picked up Theo, he was tired and happy. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Jeff and Olivia are the absolute BEST sitters I've ever worked with! I left my energetic 2-year old lab with them for 2 days and each day they sent over multiple high-resolution photos, videos, and texts with small anecdotes from the day together. Super responsive and genuinely caring, dog-loving people. Would work them again in a heartbeat. Thank you both for the outstanding help!!!”
About: Hi there! I've been a pet owner my entire life. I grew up with cats and dogs of all breeds and I've been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Now, for the first time in my life, I don't have any pets, and honestly, I miss having them around - which is exactly why I'm excited to care for yours! I was active in 4-H and trained Belgian Sheepdogs in positive-reinforcement based obedience. I've owned dogs as small as a Japanese Chin and as big as a Newfoundland, so I understand different dog temperaments and energy levels. I've also been watching friends' and neighbors' pets for several years, including high-anxiety cats, senior dogs, and recent rescues - helping them to feel calm and secure while away from their family. I work from home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long. For play time, potty break, and snuggles, I'll be there. I can easily walk dogs multiple times a day and will be around most of the day to keep any dog or cat visiting me company. Sometimes I may pop out for a gym session or grocery run, but that's about it. I mostly just miss having a pet so I'll be so happy to be around yours! I have no pets of my own currently. I live in a secure, quiet apartment. Depending on pet needs and temperament, they can have the run of the apartment or be limited to the main living room (which is where I work). My apartment has no yard but I'm in a great neighborhood for walks and I make sure doggies get plenty of fresh air. Since it is an apartment, if your dog is extremely active and boisterous, they may be happier boarding somewhere with more room to run.
