“Eunjun was very responsive and flexible when helping watch my dog Toby. She was willing to pick up Toby at a friends house nearby as we were out of town, and also was open to us picking up Toby earlier than scheduled. Such a huge help to have someone responsible and caring watch our senior pup!”
“Nathan took great care of Primo. Communication was easy from start to finish, and he sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Primo came home relaxed and happy, and it was clear he had been well looked after. We’d definitely book with Nathan again. Thanks!”
“Fabiano was amazing! He responded on short notice and saved me so much time and hassle. He was so easy to work with. The minute Tiny and I met him I felt at ease that I could trust him to take great care of her while I was away. And he did! I will definitely use Fabiano again!”
“Jenna was so great watching our little Dachshund. She arrived almost 15 minutes early to our meeting point. I was worried because our dog had never been away from us . In addition he also has separation anxiety when I am not around. To our surprise he connected with Jenna right away and didn’t even notice when I sneaked away. She took care of our Elliott as if it was her own per. I can highly recommend Jenna and will for sure book her again if needed. Thanks again so much Jenna for giving us an enjoyable night out.”
“Bee was an absolute lifesaver. We had a sudden family emergency and had to leave the country for two weeks. We needed someone to care for Presley at the last minute, and it was our first time ever leaving him, so we were understandably nervous. When we picked him up, we could tell he had been well cared for. Presley came home excited and healthy, which gave us so much comfort during such a difficult time. Her rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind—especially with our last-minute dog sitting needs. We highly recommend Bee. Thank you!”
“I've left Mocha with Ivy a few times and she always takes great care of him. Mocha really likes seeing her and her family. She also sends me multiple pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Ivy.”
“Wendy went above and beyond to take best care of Moddy! She took gorgeous pictures, picked amazing food and even rearranged her plans to work around a mishap on my side. Enormously impressed and grateful to Wendy!”
“Great sitter! Super flexible and was able to take our dog, even though it was a last-minute request. Very responsive and sent lots of photos, which we really appreciated.”
“Derek and Stella took great care of my pup. Oliver can be nervous with new folks but forgot all about me when he was with them. Thank you for all the great pics and updates!”
“We are very happy we chose Nick, Jessica and son. Communication was easy, reliable and quick. We felt at ease leaving our dog with them and knew that he would be well cared for. Thank you!”
“I had to leave my pup for a couple of days soon after some surgery. Melissa took on the extra steps for food prep, meds, soft collar without hesitation. She did a great job keeping me posted on how my pup was doing, generally, and specifically about the incision sites. Really appreciate her taking extra care of my pup!”
“Jenny and Dominic were so great to Moose! They were flexible, sent lots of updates, and their dog Riku made the stay a lot of fun for our dog. Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly took such good care of Chippy while we were away on vacation! It really made our time away more enjoyable to know he was being so well cared for. We got regular updates and photos which were so great. We had such a good experience with Kimberly that we're already booking with her again. Thank you Kimberly!!”
“Sherry was wonderful with Vesta! First time leaving her overnight and I was anxious, but Sherry was reassuring from start to finish. Responsive, warm, and professional, with great updates throughout the night. She and Billie were just amazing! We will definitely be back!”
“Shelley was so great taking care of my dog as usual. She sent regular updates, and I could tell really cared for my dog. She was also accommodating when I had to change my pickup time. Would highly recommend her!”
“Always a pleasure! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bernard and sending daily updates with pictures. Really means a lot to be able to travel and know that my dog is in good hands!! 🥰”
“Max is so comfortable with Lynn and enjoying his time so much while we are away so we can leave him in goods hands with no hesitations. And we regularly receive pictures which we very much appreciate. Easy and quick communication. Our best recommendations!”
“So happy Petunia got to stay with Kara and Val again. She always has a great time with them and we look forward each evening to getting little updates on her day. Can’t say enough good things (neither can she if she could talk)”

“Sammy was an outstanding catsitter while we were away for an extended trip. She went above and beyond—vacuuming our entire apartment and always washing her hands before refreshing our cats’ food and water. The litter box was spotless every day, and her consistent updates kept us completely at ease about our “kids’” wellbeing. Both cats looked happy and healthy when we returned. Sammy is diligent, responsible, and thoughtful, and we’ll happily book her again whenever our schedules align. Highly recommend!”
“Kaki was fantastic. She was thorough, warm, and sent really detailed updates every visit, which made a huge difference - I felt completely secure leaving my cats with her. One of my cats is on multiple medications and not exactly cooperative about it, and Kaki handled that with no issues. My other cat, who sometimes takes a bit to warm up, took to her right away and got plenty of playtime in. Would absolutely book her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“I’m so glad and lucky I found Elena! She did a wonderful job with my cat Phoebe while I was out of town for close to a month. She was great with keeping me updated and sending lots of pictures. My cat warmed up to her really quickly! I would definitely reach out to Elena again to take care of Phoebe.”
“Kylie took such great care of my cat Summer! It was my first time using Rover and as an anxious cat mom I was immediately reassured by Kylie's presence. She shared tons of pictures, videos and gave detailed updates on check-ins.”
“Donna is the best, will be booking with her from here on out for any of my cat sitting needs! She is so sweet, organized and provides 10/10 pics of your animals while you are away.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was young, helping neighbors by feeding, checking in on, and spending time with their cats while they were away. I now have Benji, a 6-year-old (stubborn) cat of my own, and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or extra cuddly, I enjoy getting to know each cat on their terms. I provide patient, attentive care and make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You'll also receive plenty of photos and videos throughout each visit, so it feels like you're right there with them. 🐱💕
“Highly recommend Natalie for kitty-sitting. She is thorough, attentive, and somehow won over my ultra-shy kitty! I received updates and tons of pictures of Natalie cleaning litter, refilling food and water, and playing with the kitties. She also went above and beyond to accommodate a key handoff while I was out of town. Thank you Natalie!!”
“Joslyn was awesome with my cat. It was her first time visiting and despite my little man being shy at first, he warmed to her immediately and took great care of him! She provided comprehensive updates and pictures following each visit, and I'll for sure be booking her again. Highly recommended!”
“Marian was amazing with my anxious and not always welcoming cat, Parsley, while we were away. She was super communicative, provided great updates and was able to really understand what my cat needed!”
“Aijalon is amazing. She took such great care of my cat. She's friendly, kind, communicative, and an absolute delight. I was away two weeks and never worried about the wellbeing of my pet. Would absolutely be thrilled to have her back. Highly recommend Aijalon with your pets and home.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Andreya took excellent care of our cats. She is a gem of an old soul who loves animals. Your fur babies are in competent caring hands with Andreya. Going to book her again.”
“Very communicative and great with my cats! They were so happy and clearly well taken care of while I was gone. I appreciate all the photos and updates from Sarocha!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chinatown
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve cared for 2 cats and 1 dog since I was 19. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets! I work from home full-time in my apartment, which has a built-in dog park. Therefore, my schedule is pretty flexible on weekdays and weekends. I usually walk dogs in the morning and night time. I can also walk around the lunch time. I have a security alarm and camera in my apartment, so I can always monitor the pet running inside or outside.
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.
“Shanice was amazing with Chevalier as this was his first time he was a bit anxious/shy but she worked with him and he opened up. I loved getting progress updates/photos atonsee that he was happy :) I’m so happy that we booked with Shanice!”
“Anderson and Pablo took incredible care of Huckleberry while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in San Francisco. Thanks again for taking such great care of Huck!”
“Richard is awesome! My puppy was really anxious to be going to a new place but Richard was so good at calming him down and sent me a photo a couple of hours later of Jambo playing with all his new friends. He messaged me photos throughout the day and assured me Jambo was doing great. My puppy slept all evening that first night so he'd gotten plenty of exercise. On the second day he was so happy to see Richard when we arrived so I knew he was going to have another great day. Richard also went the extra mile to get him his lunch since I had forgotten Jambo's special food. I highly recommend Richard to look after your pup - we'll definitely be back!”
“Carlotta is amazing! Our pup Ash loves her - Carlotta is clearly a dog lover. She was attentive to Ash, flexible with us on communication and pickup/dropoff, sent lots of cute pictures; everything you want when you’re away from your pup. Ash came home happy, tired, and ready to cuddle. Highly recommend booking with Carlotta.”
“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 :)”
“Wonderful mother, daughter and pup, mulan, team! My pup is usually very shy with ew people, but she loves to join them on all the cool outings and adventures. I am so grateful for Ivy, my pup doesn’t miss indoor daycare at all!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2013 and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. My first pup, Miko was a Pomeranian I adopted as a senior in 2013. He sadly passed away in 2018, but he taught me so much about caring for older dogs and giving them the patience, comfort, and love they deserve. In 2019, I adopted Dash, and it’s been me and him ever since. Through Dash, I’ve also gained a lot of experience caring for a dog with separation anxiety, and I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pup with someone new. Because of that, I’m especially attentive to dogs who struggle when their humans are away. I have a flexible schedule so your dog will never be left alone while in my care. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for and not like they’ve simply been dropped off somewhere. When your dog boards with me, it will be a team effort between me and Dash! Dash loves having company and if your pup is comfortable and enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a friendly companion to hang out and play with throughout their stay. Of course, I always take each dog’s personality and comfort level into consideration and make sure interactions are safe and positive. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pup like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule so I can give your fur babies plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I would feed your dog after their morning walk and night walk unless otherwise instructed. I would take the dogs on a potty break every 4 hours unless otherwise instructed. My dog’s name is Dash for a reason! 🤪 He loves to try to run out whenever he sees a door open and can be a bit of an escape artist. Because of this, I learned to be especially careful when opening exterior doors and making sure the dog is secured before opening the door.
About: Grew up with dogs of various ages and breeds, including a boxer, rottweiler, doberman, and jack russell terrier. Most recently lost our buddy, Morton, our salt & pepper miniature schnauzer of 15 years. Our young son also loves animals, especially dogs, and loves having a dog around to hang out with. There will usually be 1 adult with your dog during the day, unless you've been notified. Ideally, your dog can go a few hours between walks, especially during weekday care. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood and have many green spaces and parks nearby. As long-time owners of dogs of various ages from puppy to senior, we understand the needs of pets. Our most recent pup, Morton, was 15 years old when he passed and required a special diet and care for several years before the end of his life. We only watch one dog at a time to make sure your pup receives our full attention and care. While our young song loves dogs and pets, it is also important that any pet in our care is comfortable with young children. If you are unsure how your dog will behave around young kids, please consider other sitters. We do not want to risk the safety of our child or the comfort of your pet. Our apartment is best suited for dogs 30lbs and under. Please help us ensure your pet has the best stay by bringing their preferred bed, water bowl, toy(s), treats, food, and whatever else your pet needs to be comfortable in it's home away from home.
About: Stanford professional and gentle dog lover who works 5 days/week from home in South Beach Soma SF. I can only accommodate 1-2 dogs (max) in my 1-BR condo and as I build my boarding experience, giving your dog(s) personalized attention and hugs and love. If you have 2 dogs, they will totally love being alone with me in my clean, cozy condo! I send regular pics and videos to you, so you can have a happy and care-free trip/vacation! And take them down regularly for walks and bio-breaks. :) ADVANTAGES: - Small dog groups (1-2 maximum) - Personalized 1-on-1 attention - Flexible scheduling (appts and cancellations) - Convenient location (easy drop-off/pick-up) DISCLAIMER: I don’t have much experience with untrained puppies and older dogs with complex medication routines. I work from home 5 days/week and can take care of your dogs during the week and weekend (especially long/holiday weekends). I can take them for walks as often as needed, due to my flexible work hours (I barely have any meetings/Zoom calls). You can schedule drop-off and pick-up anytime during the day or night. I live in a 800-sq ft 1-bedroom condo in South Beach SoMa, in the middle of the city, easy for drop-offs and pick-ups. Cute small balcony with artificial grass, where your dogs can sunbathe and enjoy fresh air for hours. Multiple elevators for going up and down (no stairs for your dog to climb). I only wish to accommodate 1 dog at a time, but 2 dogs are fine if they are siblings. If you have 2 dog siblings, this is the perfect place to drop them off, as they will be the only dogs with me.
“Had no regrets leaving Buzz with Eunjee & her sweetest pup Theo. She gave multiple walks and outdoor plays and gave many videos and pictures updates throughout the day! Would 100% recommend anyone to trust their dog with Eunjee :)”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and multiple walks throughout the day—not just before and after work. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a dog lover who works from home with a flexible schedule. Since I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will get lots of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. I live just one block from a dog park, making it easy to enjoy fun outings (if your dog enjoys socializing). I also have a friendly beagle/terrier mix who loves meeting new friends and helps visiting dogs feel at home.
“Renu was very communicative, she reached out prior to my dog's stay with her to learn more about her and followed my instructions well. I highly recommend Renu and will reach out again when we're in the area!”
“Yasmim and her wife took great care of Lua for the day! I could tell they really liked her, and her them! Yasmim was communicative and sent lots of updates. 10/10 - would recommend ❤️”
“Remy and his daughter provided great care for our dog. We booked daycare last minute, and it was easy to coordinate all the logistics with him on a tight timeline. We are grateful!”
“Mary-Frances took such good care of our pup, Paprika! This was Paprika’s first time staying with someone outside of family and Mary-Frances made her feel right at home. She also gave me updates throughout the day which made us feel at ease leaving Paprika for the first time! Paprika had a fun-filled day of walks and playtime. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up 😆 I would recommend Mary-Frances to anyone and can’t wait to have her watch our pup again.”
“Tania is great! She's communicative, caring and understanding of a dog's needs. She contacted me prior to the booked time with questions and made sure she understood my dog's needs. Lovely person & great sitter, highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! My name is Carly and I'm a pet mom to three boys (two cats, one dog) all aged 1-2yrs old! I've spent my whole life surrounded by four legged friends and each one has left paw prints on my heart. 🐾♥️ I welcome almost any personality type save aggressive ones and will meet your sweet pup wherever and however they need during our time together. Whether it's a quiet, peaceful stroll or zoomies and playing fetch, I'll be the stand-in friend who loves doing the same thing! Any time I get home from an adventure outside with Mako, my 1yr old Shiba Inu, he knows it's time to wipe his "city feet" and bum with a gentle, scent-free baby wipe. The same care would be given to your pupper unless of course they wouldn’t be a fan of such things occurring. I look forward to chance of meeting new fluffy friends and adding more paw prints where it counts! 🫶 As a recent Boston transplant, my days are currently spent setting up a new apartment in SoMa with my fiancé and re-building clientele as a private figure skating coach which means right now I’m usually quite free! I enjoy being an early bird and am available in the middle of the day on a regular basis. I am able to do some evening walks, but nothing after dark. My puppy Mako is friendly, but doesn’t walk well with canine companions so all walks would be one-on-one with your doggo unless you own a pair that is accustomed to going together. Time spent checking in on your pup at home would be respectful of their/your space and contact would be initiated at the pace of the dog itself.
“David is great!! He is kind and knows what he is doing with dogs. He has been flexible with my busy schedule and great with my dog!!! I couldn't give a higher recommendation!”
“Elric has been walking my dog a few times now, and I appreciate his approach with Izzy. She's very bonded to me and getting her to go with a walker, while I'm home, is a pretty difficult task, but Elric manages it quite well. He shows the right amount of assertiveness, kindness, coaxing and patience. I appreciate that he showed interest in anything that might set Izzy off, things she likes, etc. And I really appreciate that he actually takes her on a walk (I've had some walkers who just circle the block for 20 minutes!). All in all, it's working out well.”

About: I have a 12 year old family dog, Bear, who lives in Washington and I miss very much so I love any chance to be near animals! Throughout college I dog sat for a family who had 2 mid-size dogs, and this past summer I watched an adorable 16 year old calico. I am currently studying for nursing school applications so I have a very flexible schedule and am looking forward to helping take care of your pet! I am currently taking pre-requisite classes for a nursing program so my days are fairly free except when I have to go in for labs. I am available for daytime visits and walks, as well as pet and house sitting. I am unable to care for pets in my home but am more than happy to come to your home and take care of your pets. I am used to feeding both cats and dogs, and also with giving animal medication.
“Carolyn is nice, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She walked my dogs every day at least once per day (occasionally booked for twice per day) for about 1.5 weeks while I was at work. I would book with her again.”
“Shannon was great with Gus! He was always on time, accommodated for the rain and took him on a long 60 minute walk. Gus was excited to see him everyday. Shannon was very responsive and easy to work with!”
“Yang is great! I've booked her a few times, and she has taken care of both my dog and cat. She is always on time, prompt on responding, and reliable. Additionally, she has been flexible and able to help me out in a pinch when I've needed to book last minute. We love Yang and (have already) recommend her to anyone who is looking to book a reliable/trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I have a family dog, a Cockapoo, back home in Ireland and have years of experience helping care for her, including walks, feeding, playtime and lots of attention. I absolutely love dogs and really miss having one around! I’m caring, reliable and attentive, and I’d treat your dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable caring for small dogs and smaller medium-sized breeds. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for dog sitting on weekends and can sometimes accommodate weekday evenings depending on my schedule. I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your dog. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks and house rules. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe and get plenty of attention, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos while they’re in my care.
About: Hi, we’re Kaki and Seba - newly-wed, working professionals in SF :) We have 3 cats with super different personalities and we adore them all to bits. We love taking funny and cute pictures of them and will definitely do the same for your furbabies 📸 We have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments - from young kittens bursting with energy to old senior cats who needed oral & topical medications. Although we’re not currently dog parents, Seba used to take care of a shy Cavapoo at their family home, and we both have experience taking care of dogs small and big. We also have experience with guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, and reptiles. Our approach is loving, attentive, and playful. We treat each and every fur-babies like our own, letting them take the lead on how they want to spend our time together🐾 We don’t squeeze our schedule with a lot of pet sitting - we signed up because we genuinely love hanging out with animals :) This means we are not rushing from one visit to another, and we give a lot of attention and care for each and every visit. Currently, Kaki takes the majority of the visits because of a more flexible work schedule, but let us know if you have preference / if you’d like both of us to be there! After ensuring the basic chores are taken care of, we spend the rest of the time playing and hanging out with them for the full duration of time that we’re booked for. Please let us know their favorite activities :)
About: I am a responsible, experienced dog/cat owner-lover and will treat yours like my own. I was raised in a family that had dogs including 3 dachshunds, a mutt, and a chow over the years. As an adult I have been the loving pet parent to three adult cats consecutively. Very comfortable around cats and dogs. Available for dog-walking, cat/dog drop-in's, and daytime extended stay drop-in's / house-sitting (no overnights). I have worked remotely for over ten years so have a very flexible schedule. Walking your dog or visiting your cat would be a pleasure and a chance for some fresh air and exercise. I do this for supplemental income during my free time and the opportunity to visit different neighborhoods. I am available daytime hours, not overnight (mid-morning til before sunset). I will give your cat or dog as much or little attention in your home as you (or they!) specify. Reliable, trustworthy. Not able to care for your pets at my home.
“Paula is my absolute favorite! She is very reliable and treats Gunner like he’s her own pup. She’s been my primary Rover for months; Gunner’s walker again and again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I have been a pet care provider all my life. I owned a private pet care business for almost 8 years that I sold in January 2021. In my first 6 1/2 years, I served over 1,000 unique pets. Before starting my business, I was on track to go to veterinary school, and have worked under 5 veterinarians, including a mobile vet, and at a spay-neuter clinic. You may recognize me from when I worked at San Francisco’s first pet shop, The Animal Company. I taught Pet-CPR and First Aid & have a fair amount of experience with senior cats & dogs, as well as dogs who are reactive & need to avoid interactions with passers-by while out on walks. I can also trim nails, give oral/injectable medicine, administer fluids, etc. I have a pretty flexible schedule; I own a consulting business and travel all over the city for work. I usually don’t work outside of San Francisco- feel free to inquire about my travel rates & availability. Probably not the best fit for a dog who needs someone around the entire day, but if your dog can be left alone for a few hours here & there we might be a good fit 👍🏽 I work remotely so I am pretty flexible in terms of adapting to your pet’s needs. I’m also pretty good at responding to call/text/email right away for added peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed , play and snuggle with their pets.

I will set my available time on my schedule. I always try to follow the consistent routine. My own cats have set time for meal and play. I bring the same structure and attentiveness to every pets I care for.

“Always a pleasure! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bernard and sending daily updates with pictures. Really means a lot to be able to travel and know that my dog is in good hands!! 🥰”
“So happy Petunia got to stay with Kara and Val again. She always has a great time with them and we look forward each evening to getting little updates on her day. Can’t say enough good things (neither can she if she could talk)”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Choo Choo! Communication was excellent, and you always responded quickly, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated the tour of your place, and I loved that you have a balcony where Choo Choo could hang out. You were also very accommodating with all of my requests. It was obvious that you genuinely cared about Choo Choo and wanted the best for him. I would definitely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Rosalie and Frank were simply amazing. We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we are in the city. They took great care of my senior dog and were super gentle with his needs (meds, walks, back issues, etc.). You won't go wrong with them. Thanks guys!”
“Emily is an incredible sitter for my little guy. She sends amazing videos and photos throughout the day and you can tell she loves taking care of him. I’m so lucky that I found her!!”
“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
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!
“Irina is an incredibly kind, passionate, and professional dog sitter. She took my dog on adventures all around the city and spent relaxing days with her. She regularly sent me photo updates, and it made me so happy to see how well she was cared for and how much fun she was having. I'm grateful for her help and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Katie is such an amazing sitter. My dog can be a bit skiddish around new folks but he warmed up to Katie immediately. She was so easy to communicate with and kept me updated with cute photos. It really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was being loved on by such a kind and warm person 🥹”
“I needed boarding for my energetic Boston Terrier while I was away for two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with Anderson! He sent daily updates, and the photos truly helped me feel connected to Lola—I missed her so much. She settled into her new environment right away, and it was clear she was thriving. From walks along the Embarcadero to hikes in the headlands, dog park adventures, and playtime at home, Anderson kept her active, social, and engaged. I could see from the pictures that she was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. Anderson is not only attentive and caring, but he also has a natural ability to lead and understand dogs. He genuinely loves what he does, and it shows. He’s a true gem, and I highly recommend him to anyone on Rover looking for top-tier care. I’ll definitely be booking with him again whenever Lola needs a sitter—thank you so much, Anderson!”
“Odin seemed happy staying with Nicole & her pup! Easy process from drop off to pick up; communication was consistent. Grateful that she could accept the booking just a couple days before. Great location on the North side of SF. Will book again if in the area! Thanks Nicole! ❤️”
“Victoria is amazing! She took care of Bear for ~10 days and kept me updated with all the fun doggy dates each and every day. She made my vacation truly worry free. After picking up Bear kept looking behind for Victoria since we were leaving her. He loves her and I can see it. Definitely booking her again for my next vacation in November!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Jocelyn was amazing with our dog, who can be a bit energetic and tough for some folks. She took care of her like her own and was very communicative throughout the weekend. It’s clear she loves dogs and knows how to manage them while showing them a great time. We are already relieved for the next time we’ll need boarding services knowing that our dog will be with Jocelyn!”
“Alina is fantastic! She is always so friendly and compassionate. She sends updates and messages about his status along with photos. I feel completely confident leaving my pet with her.”
“Maddie always has fun with Heidi going on walks and frequenting the dog park. When I get home Maddie’s excited but also ready to lounge in the couch and sleep from all her fun activities while I was gone.”
“We had a great experience boarding our pup with Go. He is very quick to respond, communicates clearly and is very pleasant and friendly. We had a meet and greet twice before we actually left my pup with Go and his wife. They were kind to Hira, asked good questions, clearly went through my care instructions. We felt comfortable boarding for almost 3 weeks. Throughout the stay Go sent pictures, and kept us informed. They took Hira to the park every day and she seemed very happy and comfortable with them. We will definitely rebook for our next trip! Highly recommend! Thanks Go!”
