“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“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!”
“Renee and Chris are very trusted sister. Because my dolls medical condition, I had to be picky to find new sitter not to have multiple other dogs. They only accepted my dogs and no other dogs. Renee made sure to provide the medication and she is very familiar with. They sent us a lot of pictures and video and we were very happy to know how our dogs were doing every day. Renee and Chris are highly recommended and I will ask their availability when we need our dog sitter next time for sure.”
“Annabel took wonderful care of my dog, Penny, over a long weekend. From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She happily arranged an initial meet-and-greet in a public place, followed by another visit so Penny could get comfortable with her apartment before the stay, which I really appreciated. During Penny's stay, Annabel sent regular photo updates and messages, giving us peace of mind that she was happy and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Penny feel at home. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Annabel again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.”
“Eunjee was a great sitter for Bubble! Very flexible, communicative, and responsive. She sent daily photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing Bubble was well taken care of.”
“Leaving the country is always stressful when you have to leave your pup behind, but I rested easy knowing Angel was in great hands with Samantha! I am a proud repeat client and don’t trust anyone else with Angel!”
“My dog had a minor health incident while she was staying with Remo, and he was so great with taking care of it! He always sends multiple pictures of the dogs out for walks.”
“Vanessa took excellent care of Biscuit. She was very communicative and he developed a solid bond with her and Kenzo in the short time that they were together. Highly recommend and would have no hesitation rebooking with Vanessa.”
“Cesar was our first sitter using Rover and we could not have been happier with the whole experience. We really appreciated a chance to get to meet him and his pups beforehand while also seeing his living space. We felt our pupper would be be in good hands through the week he stayed with Cesar. During the time away we got plenty of adorable pictures and updates on how he was coping. From our perspective he seemed to be having a great time! Definitely recommend Cesar for your boarding needs”
“Brianna (Baiyu) took wonderful care of my pup, Muffin! She was highly communicative and kind. Most importantly, my pup was happy and content when she came back to me.”
“Claudia is an excellent dog sitter. She does her job from love not only for the money. Our dog Griswald had a good time at her home. We will definitely be a returning customer. We were extremely pleased to find her. Thanks, Claudia. ”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“1000000/10 I’ve never felt more confident and comfortable leaving my guy with someone! He had a few accidents and they were completely professional in the way they handled it. Could not recommend more”
“Bee was amazing!! We booked a last minute weekend trip to Napa and couldn’t bring Baci our dachshund. Bee not only took care of him but also took him for walks, send pics and videos, to play with her own dog and even gave him a bath! We really appreciate all you did Bee and thank you! Highly recommend!”
“Laxmi did a great job making our kitty Petunia feel comfortable while boarding in her home. She made sure to provide lots of playtime for our active cat. She also sent multiple photos and videos daily and it was nice to be able to see Petunia settling in as this was our first time boarding her. We will definitely use Laxmi again!”
“Jamie is awesome! She loved on my doggies like they were her own. She reassured me throughout the time I was gone and sent me photo updates. She’s super communicative and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!!!!!”
“Grayson can be a pip!! It takes her a while to warm up. Fabiano listened and watched her verbal/physical cues, and earned her trust! She loves Fabiano, and so do we! Recommend A++++”

“Eric was a great sitter for our cat. He was easy to communicate with, did everything we asked him to do, and was very kind to our cat. We’re very happy and would ask him to sit our cat again!”
“Naomi was able to step in for a last minute cat sitting request for me. I appreciated her quick responses to coordinate on care and her updates during the visit to confirm on care instructions.”
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have 3 of my own (two Burmese and one Domestic Shorthair). At the SPCA I have cared for countless cats from arrival through adoption. I love spending time with them wether they are shy and just want to chill or playful.
“Laura did a great job with our two cats, and was able to triage things as they came up (eg cats knocking stuff over, cameras not working). Our cats are anxious and like routine, and Laura did a good job of showing up around the same time every day. The cats would hide when Laura came, but then they would always come right out immediately afterwards (which is not always the case with other guests!), so I feel Laura made the cats feel at ease.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my dog like his own. I appreciated the regular updates and photos-it gave me real peace of mind. I'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Julia house sat for us and was fantastic in terms of communication, taking care of our cats, keeping the house clean, and treating the space with great respect. Thanks Julia for being awesome!”
“Elise is a life saver! I had a work trip run long and was unexpectedly needed to be out of the country for 2 weeks longer than anticipated. Elise was amazing and so easy going about staying on for the additional days!”
“Laxmi is the best. She put so much care and detail into caring for our senior cat Mickey. Her calm personality made Mickey feel at ease when she administered his daily fluids. She also put extra care to make sure he ate his daily vitamins. Multiple updates and photos each day, and it was clear Mickey enjoyed his stay and felt comfortable being in her home. Thank you Laxmi!”

I follow your guidance and instructions to ensure the best care possible. Medicines are administered on time with care. Walks and feeding routines are followed as though you were here with your pet.
“Aaron and his wife were so kind and caring through the whole process, I highly recommend then for kitty care! They went above and beyond and seemed to be very experienced and true cat lovers, so grateful to have neighbors like them in a pinch!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dena, who came highly recommended by a friend. She was caring, kind and attentive, and kept me updated with messages and photos. Jiji was happy and relaxed when I returned, which says it all. Would absolutely leave Jiji under Dena’s care again!”
“My cat really likes Thomas. He has good intuition for how to deal with initially shy cats. Thomas also helped a lot with general house errands while we were gone for a long holiday. I really appreciated knowing that he was keeping an eye on things. Highly recommend!”

“Not our first time leaving KiKi with Kira. Our dog can be feisty, but Kira has a calming effect on her. She’s also very responsive communicating with us. All this helps us relax in knowing KiKi is in good hands.”
“Bruce is super responsive and a great caregiver for the pups! He sent pictures and videos all day which made me feel confident and comfortable leaving our dog. We would definitely use his service again!”
“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”

“Sean was great on the communication and my pup and I were really happy to stay with him! Would definitely recommend Sean as your neighborhood dog sitter :)”

“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.”
“Duskie enjoyed his stay with Emily and her furry sidekick Addie. Emily has lots of experience with senior pups including foster dogs. Duskie seemed comfortable and adjusted pretty well taking naps and relaxing on his first visit. We’ll plan to book Emily again soon!”
About: Dog sitter for 10 years, lot of experience with different dogs from x small to x large, always outside to take them to the best hikes or their favorite spots. Love playing with them and give them as much love as I could. Full time available, I'm doing a master degree in management at Hawaii Pacific University and all my classes are online. Open schedule, very flexible and willing to drive to pick them up or drop them off I live in Kaimuki, not for from KCC, we have a fenced gated backyard, dog park at walking distance, kapiolani park not far, willing to take them on hikes if they are able to make it.
“Cesar was such a great host. He had a small gang of tiny dogs for my dog Bentley to play with and a nice deck for him to sun himself. I think the fact that Cesar has a 19 year old dog of his own is testament enough that he is obviously excellent at taking care of animals. Thank you Cesar and we look forward to seeing you in the future :)”
“My dog is extremely picky and will let me know she isn't happy by misbehaving. But after a day of care at David's, Penny was not unhappy, which is great. Penny was comfortable at David's place and liked his roommate. It's rare for Penny to like humans. David made sure the other dogs with him are compatible with Penny, another difficult thing. Penny napped most of the time, because that is what she does when she's not working, following someone for food, or playing fetch.”
“Remo was amazing with my dog, Chewie. He was flexible with my drop off and pick up times while I was in San Francisco for a conference. He was kind and really funny each time I saw him.”
“Jenny and her boyfriend were amazing! Super flexible with drop off and pick up timing and most importantly, really great sitters -- Quinoa came back happy and tired!”

About: I have had a life long love of animals and have grown up with cats and dogs. In addition I am a long standing volunteer at the SFSPCA, and am trained in dog and cat care. If your pet is shy or out going I know exactly how to work with them. I am a college student with a fairly flexible schedule. As junior my course load is predictable therefor I can work with you to find a convenient care schedule. I am available to walk dogs or care for cats at your home. I have a car and can reliably get to you. When we first meet I would love to spend a little time with your pet and learn your routine in order to make them as comfortable as possible. If you are traveling for an extended period I will gladly send you pictures and keep you posted on what is going on.

I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I love getting outside with dogs and will always make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’ll communicate clearly and send photo updates after every visit so you know they’re in great hands. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, use secure leashing practices, pay close attention during walks, and make sure your pet has fresh water and plenty of affection. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit so you can have peace of mind. Having cared for dogs my entire life, from running a pet-sitting business for over 10 years to volunteering 400+ hours at an animal shelter, I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities.
“Highly recommend! Joyce was wonderful, reliable, kind, and great with our pets. She took our dog on long, 1-hour walks while my husband and I were working, and she also has experience with cats, helping administer eye drop medication for us. We really appreciated all her help.”

About: Hi! I’m Van—a caring, experienced sitter with two snuggly dogs of my own who love having new friends around. I offer overnight stays in my fenced-in home, drop-in visits, and walks, all tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I have a soft spot for seniors and special-needs pups. I’ve cared for blind and deaf dogs, and pets needing regular medications or gentle routines. Whether your companion is full of energy or prefers slow strolls and lots of cuddles, I’ll meet them where they’re at with patience, kindness, and consistency. At my home, your dog will have room to roam, a calm environment, and the company of two friendly resident pups who are happy to share their space (and snuggle spots). I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I send regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. Whether you need a reliable drop-in, house sitter, or a cozy place for your pup to stay, I’m here to help. I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can care for them like one of my own. I am a full time stay at home dog parent of two. I love animals and their quirky personalities. Let me snuggle with your dogs. I can drop by to love and care for them in their space, or take them on walks around the neighborhood. Adventures to dog parks can be arranged as well!
About: I worked as a professional dog trainer for a well renown dog school in San Francisco. I have worked with a wide variety of breeds, sizes and ages! As small as Miniature Dachshund puppies and as large as Full grown Great Danes. Often I've worked groups of more than a dozen dogs, where being vigilant and proactive was key to manage interactions, but working with you, you'll get all the same care with just your pup. I've worked dogs that are shy of social interactions with other dogs and people! And most importantly I have the skills not only to manage but improve dog behavior. I am entirely free at the moment so with enough notice my day can be centered around your puppy first and foremost! This can be during your work week when your pets need a little extra attention, or this can be during your time away when they need support at home. I have a pet friendly apartment for boarding and I am physically active for long hikes or walks outside in the lovely parks around San Francisco. I have a keen eye on subtle changes in dog behavior from my experience working as a professional trainer, so I am very attentive to how your dog is feeling.
“I can’t recommend Surekha as a walker highly enough! She is incredibly reliable and genuinely so sweet with my dog. It’s clear how much she cares, my pup is always happy and well-exercised. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, which gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.”
About: Hi! I’m Irina. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised a beautiful Gordon Setter (Scottish Setter) from a puppy, and he lived a long, happy life of 13 years. This taught me everything about canine behavior, specialized nutrition, and the deep patience required to care for dogs at all stages of life, including senior dogs. Multi-Pet Care: Besides my own dog, I have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends and family, looking after various breeds of dogs and cats. I know how to handle different temperaments—whether your pet is an energetic ball of energy or a shy cuddler. I am currently fully available during the week, so I can walk, feed, and play with your pet at any time from Monday to Friday. Please note that I am unavailable on weekends, as I dedicate that time to my children. Please note that I offer care strictly at your home (drop-ins and house sitting) and do not host pets at my place. Through raising my own pets, I learned how to understand animal behavior and provide dedicated care. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I gave my own best friends.
About: I have been working and volunteering with animals since I was 17 years old and have been dog sitting/walking for 5+ years on wag walker! I was a dog groomer with Natural Pawz for 1 and a half years and volunteered with friends fur life for half a year! Have always worked with animals and am very passionate about their health and well being. My days revolve around animal care whether it’s dog sitting/walking or caring for the cats in my neighborhood! My neighborhood used to have a huge problem with aggressive stray cats or loose dogs so I began working with local animal shelters and clinics on getting them fixed through TNRing. Have found homes for dogs that were dropped off on my street and most of the cats on my street are now fixed and vaccinated! They’re no longer as aggressive as they used to be and their health conditions have improved significantly. I live in a gated house with plenty of space in the back for cats and dogs to have outdoor time. There is an empty guest room in case any pet needs some space or quiet or just for ones who may be shy or prefer to be alone.
“João is an amazing dog walker! He has been walking our dog Yali for a couple months now. Our dog, Yali, can be tentative around strangers at first but João knew how to put him at ease and feel comfortable. He takes Yali on long and fun walks”
“Dena was great with Wally. He liked her immediately and I trust his instincts. She followed my instructions to a T and was conscientious of the heat and came early for walks when it was too hot out in the afternoon. He can be stubborn but she worked with him and was patient. Thanks Dena!”
“Lauren was fantastic - great communication, sent very cute photos, and took our booking on very short notice! Really was a life saver on a day with a last minute schedule change!”
“Bailey was a great walker for Whitney that I’d recommend to anyone! She was really responsive and gave helpful write ups after each walk, and Whitney seemed really comfortable in her care. 10 out of 10, would Bailey again!”

She also respected my boundary not to reach me at a certain time because I was running a half marathon during those hours. I’m really happy that Kai bonded well with Victoria and Rina. I would certainly contact them again when I need a dog sitter. Kai spent two nights with them and had no issues. Just lots of fun playful moments for Kai. Thank you Victoria!”

Stu had a great time - lots of walks, cuddles, and hanging out in the yard. Their dog Duke was so sweet and very tolerant of our younger, energetic pup. We appreciated that Stu got the chance to have a canine companion around, too. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup (always the best sign). Would definitely book with them again!”
