“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. ”
“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”
“There is no one I trust more than Martin and Robert to watch Lucius (not even my own family!). They are hands down the absolute best. They take such good care of my 8lb 9 month old Shih Tzu and send updates and photos throughout the day. My pup absolutely loves them and he always comes back to me clean and well fed and brushed. He isn’t the easiest pup to take care of but Martin and Robert always give him the attention he needs and more. I was able to truly have a stress free weekend away because I knew Lucius was well taken care of and loved. When I picked Lucius up after two days away, he had to run back to Martin and Robert to give them a puppy kiss goodbye before we hopped in the car, something I’ve never seen him do! He absolutely adores them. Thank you, Martin and Robert!!”
“They were great! I had a last min sitter cancellation and Derek & Solip were so accomodating and responded quickly! My pup was happy when I picked him up and I could tell he was well cared for! Could not ask for more this last min!”
“Remo is the BEST!! When I dropped our Franklin off he never looked back. He really loves staying with Remo and going to all the different fun locations for walks and photos Kirk”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“Pascal absolutely loved his stay and came home worn out from playing and snuggling! We got lots of updates and felt good knowing Pascal was in absolutely fantastic hands! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“David is sweet and kind and made us feel at ease for a week with our Mars. He sent photos and give us updates that made us feel that Mars was feeling right at home. Mars can be reactive with strangers so we gave David the whole rundown on his triggers.”
“Christine and Mark are PHENOMENAL!! Our dog got so much love and attention, and he also had a nice backyard to run and play around in. It was our first time boarding our dog, and we felt a bit guilty leaving him. However, after we saw the pictures and videos of him at Christine and Mark’s, we realized our dog was having the TIME OF HIS LIFE!! Thank you, Christine and Mark!!!”
“Terry and her husband were so kind and caring. My dog is often anxious in new situations and it was so nice to see her at ease in the photos and playing with Terry's dog! I will definitely book again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Julia was able to take Roger at the last minute and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took him on several fun adventures and made sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Roger came home happy and tired, the best sign of a great stay! I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care and would absolutely book with Julia again.”

“I’ve booked Cameron for cat sitting 3 times now, and this was our first time also including house sitting because we were gone for longer. She does an amazing job with our cat and sends a bunch of pictures every day. It really helps us feel fully relaxed when we’re on vacation, knowing that our little guy is totally taken care of!”
“Hillary is fantastic! Communicative, reliable, and all-around pleasant to work with. I had complete faith that my cat was being well taken care of. Will be happy to book her again in the future.”
“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!)”
“Aaron was very professional and he took very good care of Smear for the last 4 days. I saw lots of pictures every day and that let me know I didn’t need to worry about Smear at all while I was traveling. Great and fast communication. I’ll definitely rebook with Aaron next time!”
“Brooke took care of my cat Charlie while I was away for 2 weeks. She was great and sent photos and detailed descriptions of her visits. I would definitely book her again.”
“Natalie was once again a great sitter for Gemma. Attentive, consistent, detailed report cards -- and Gemma was happy with her company, most importantly. She even helped out with a household issue. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life! Love being around dogs, whether it be playing and running or just chilling on the couch. Recently moved to a place where I can’t have pets, so caring for other people’s fur babies is the next best thing! I work a full time desk job, so I have plenty of energy to play, run around, and be active with dogs throughout the day. They give me an excuse to get away from my desk! Years and years of caring for dogs has given me the experience of identifying the comfort level of animals. I am honest and trustworty. I want to keep my regulars and want them to trust that I will care for their precious animals.
“Rongrong was so great with Moz! He’s very shy with new people but quickly warmed up to Rongrong. The care and attention she gave to Moz was evident by how trusting Moz was with her in the videos and photos she took. And she provided videos and photos during each visit. Highly recommended!”
“Brunella was amazing! She went above and beyond for our two cats, playing with them constantly, sending beautiful pictures, and cleaning up a bathroom accident. Would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hello! I’ve been walking and sitting animals for more than a decade, and love making new furry friends. I’ve cared for puppies and older dogs, high-energy and anxious animals. I have a wily, wonderful pug-mix at home who loves a chance to socialize, too. I currently work from home, for myself, so I have room to take on clients in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Weekends and weekdays both work! I approach all new animals with sensitivity and respect for their space and needs. I love getting to know a dog and learning their personality traits, favorite routes, and funny quirks. This helps me get to know what they need, when.
“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.”
“Dena was an attentive and reliable sitter for my cat Nova! She sent me detailed updates and pictures so i was sure Nova was having a great time, and despite it being around the holidays she was extremely communicative and even flexible to changing dates last minute.”
About: I have had many cats in my lifetime and I love all cats. They are my favorite animal and I really hope I am able to have that connection with your kitties as well. I know cats can be very judging and not trusting of strangers, but with my experience with my own cats, I believe I can make your cat feel safe and trusting of me. Because I know how cats can get when there’s a stranger in their home. I am very patient and very quiet to reassure the cat that I am no threat.
“I always know that when Elle is staying, everything is going to be taken care of. She understands the personality differences between our cats and has earned their trust. I know I didn't have to worry and can enjoy my trip. 10/10 - would recommend!”
“Lisha was a fantastic drop-in visitor for our two dogs. She was timely, communicative, and thorough. Our dogs were and are very happy to have her company and help. Don't hesitate to hire Lisha!!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, cats too! Many of my fond memories growing up as a child and as an adult involve animals making a positive impact on my life. Living with an animal like a dog or a cat is an important facet of life, they give us an immense amount of meaning and purpose. I have taken care of many family and friends pets, this is my first time doing so in a more professional manner. I can guarantee your pets will love me, and receive the greatest care and attention! I currently help my roommates take care of their cats by feeding or cleaning up after them. The pet care is very straightforward and I would like something more challenging I like to make sure I listen to the owner's description of their pet's personality, needs and wants. It will be my goal to never put an animal in any kind of stressful situation. If the dog enjoys long walks or very involved play time I am all about it. At a client's home I will always understand I am there for their pet and nothing more, this is their personal space and will keep it in the best possible shape, clean up after the pets when feeding or after any accidents if any are to occur. Every animal has a different temperament and I know to introduce myself slowly and at their pace.

“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!”
“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.”
“Cesar was great! My husband took our pup over for a meet-and-greet prior to the dog sitting day and I think that helped him ease into his longer visit. We definitely recommend Cesar and will be calling him again.”
“Bruce did a great job with my senior dog, Flynn who’s 13. His patience and attention to detail is unmatched. I’m very glad I chose Bruce for my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Stephanie was reliable and communicative, providing regular updates and photos. Our Poppy had a wonderful time and was so well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“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.”
About: 🏡 Home with grassy backyard walking distance to Mt. Davidson 👩🏻💻 Fully remote and hybrid schedules means your dog would rarely be alone! 🐶 Up to 2 dogs at a time (please don’t hesitate to reach out if you prefer your dog to be boarded alone - we are more than willing to accommodate this) Hi PAWSOME dog parents!! I grew up with my family’s 2 cats and 1 dog, and my husband and I have done cat sitting and dog boarding for several family friends. We are now hoping to expand that to more of you! I (Christine) currently work full time as a data scientist and my husband (Mark) is a software engineer and is fully remote. We have 2 young children who love interacting with dogs! We love spending our free time playing, taking pictures of, and hanging out with the pets we pet sit! I work on a hybrid schedule, going into the office 3 days a week and working from home the other 2 days. Mark works from home every day! If one of us isn’t home, the other is usually at home, so your dog would rarely be alone! We live in a single family home with a large grassy backyard in a quiet neighborhood. The dogs we have boarded love to run around, lay in the sun, and take regular potty breaks in our backyard! We love to walk and run around our neighborhood, frequently visiting Mt. Davidson, Twin Peaks, and Lake Merced! We love it even more when we get to bring dogs with us! NOTE 1: your dog must be crate trained. They may sleep in their crate at night in case of emergencies or at the owner’s request, but we normally allow dogs to sleep with us on the bed! NOTE 2: my parents come over with their 16 year old maltipoo (10 lbs) approximately 3 times a month, so your dog must be okay with other dogs and may meet my parents dog. NOTE 3: We currently board up to 2 dogs at the same time (if my parents’ dog is here, there may be 3 dogs max). If you prefer to have us board only your dog during the time you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we may be able to accommodate your dog. NOTE 4: we prefer small dogs, but can make exceptions for medium dogs (up to 30 lbs) on a case by case basis, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE 5: We don’t accept pee pad trained dogs. Your dog must be house trained. We have a fenced backyard and can let your dog out frequently for potty breaks. NOTE 6: Your dog must be good with young children and have had previous experience with or currently live with young children.
“I met Sheena for a meet n greet and must say that, unlike other Rover employees I have encountered, I was impressed with the time and interest she took in getting to know my dog. After meeting her, I felt extremely comfortable having her watch him and booked daycare. I just picked up my dog from "daycare" with her and he looked pretty happy. Sheena was communicative regarding questions that arose during his stay with her. She took 2 very cute pictures of him to add to my collection. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking Sheena again for daycare and boarding.”
About: Pawfect Stay is your dog’s staycation when you go on vacation. You can feel confident that your dog will be a part of my family when they stay with us. About me 20 year dog mom; ~16 years human mom. I live with my husband and teenage son. I am an airbnb superhost (10 years) and have hosted dogs for 5 years (for friends mostly). I can guarantee that your dog will feel loved during their stay. About Sparky Sparky is a feisty westie. He’s 7 and 1/2 years old. He’s used to being an only fur child at home, but will quickly adapt to a furry guest (human guests are a different matter). During their stay I will take your dog between my homes in sf and napa, where they will hang out as I tend to housekeeping. Your dog will go on at least two daily walks with me and my dog, Sparky. Sometimes we go on outings to the beach or park (where your dog will always be on a leash). I have a fenced yard at both houses. I take dogs for multiple walks per day in the neighborhood or at the park. Your dogs can sleep on the furniture or with us in bed if they enjoy a good cuddle
“My pup Hira spent a day with Varun. She seemed happy and relaxed. Varun and his fiancee were super pleasant and friendly. It was easy to book and they were flexible. I felt comfortable leaving my pup with them. This was Hira’s first stay with Varun. So glad I connected with him. We will definitely board Hira with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Vanda was great, she was very patient, kind and caring for my senior dachshund. Gave him massages for his arthritis and cleaned his bedding after an accident. 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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“David was great with Kuma! They went on a long walk and David sent us pictures throughout the day. Kumas generally a shy dog but he seemed to warm up by the end of his first visit”
“Tom was a completely fabulous dog sitter! He was also flexible, easy to communicate with, followed our instructions, and was always punctual. Our pup had a great time with him. We totally recommend Tom- he’s a real pro and dog lover.”

“Aileen did a great job walking my girl. She listened carefully to all the instructions about how to handle her leash reactivity and ensure a happy experience. I will definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“This was our first time working with a dog walker and Lani did a wonderful job meeting us. Playing with our pup and walking her around the neighborhood. Lani was very respectful and helpful. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Mick was great. He came through for me after my initial sitter cancelled last minute. This was my first time using Rover, and Mick made it a smooth, easy process.”
“Martin & Robert walked my pups when I was out for the entire day and I came home to some super happy dogs and a very sweet Rover card with great photos. :) Thanks so much!”
“Dena walked our (recovering) reactive dog Monty and did a fantastic job. She was open to using treats and commands, and got him comfortable quickly. She’s a very calm presence with lots of experience (and love for!) with dogs. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have worked in dog hotels as an overnight caretaker (no humans, just dogs), I have been a dog walker and a dog owner for nearly my whole life. I trained our family service dog (recently passed) on my own and got her professionally certified. I am home everyday as a homeschooling mom. Your pet is a part of the family while they are here. My kids and I are a chill group, Dogs are a natural fit. I have a small deck in the back, my kids and I go on walks constantly, the dogs are welcome on the beds and on the couches. My home is their home.
“Michelle was wonderful to work with, as well as my dog now considers her his fun-auntie. She communicated well, was timely, and friendly. Additionally, on another occasion when she watched my dog at her home, she was able to train him to be calm around cats! A miracle patience fairy kind and caring to all sorts of beings. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets from rats to cats to spiders and one rehabbed squirrel. I am a huge animal lover and I’m the top choice when my friends ever need a pet sitter because I’m so in love with their pets and love to go above and beyond when taking care of them. That means you absolutely don’t need to worry about them getting enough attention and love because they will get LOADS I hav experience taking care of senior pets and special needs pets and I do my best to really establish a trusting relationship so they know when I’m around everything is going to be ok. It would be my pleasure to meet more lovely pet parents and help them out whenever they need! I hav a very chill job as a personal assistant so I have lots of availability. And my hobby is reading and writing so you get a very very chill person in your space that you can count on to be respectful and drama free I can offer a variety of pet care, I can do overnights or several hours and I can also do just a quick drop in if that’s all you need. I don’t have a car so unfortunately unless a uber is covered I can’t take them to the vet or things like that but I’m happy to spend my day at a nearby park or just read a nice book with them in your lovely home. Whatever works for you and of course you can just let me know whatever it is you need, it would be my pleasure to accommodate 🥰
About: I have taken care of and trained my dog (a little poodle) since she was a puppy. I also help friends take care of their dogs when needed. I have experience with small and big dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. I enjoy playing with dogs and watching them. I work part time and my schedule is flexible now. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. I enjoy walking, so let me know if your dog needs someone to walk with them. I walk just one dog at a time, unless you have more than one dog. I will adjust the walking speed based on your dog’s needs. I’ll make sure to be on time for both the start and end of the walk.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family’s had three, and I was hands-on with all of them — from raising a litter of puppies to caring for our senior dog through the end of her life. That range taught me a lot about reading a dog’s needs, whether they’re bouncy and young or older and need a gentler pace. I’m currently at college, and I’m missing my Lab-Pyrenees mix at home, so walking and spending time with dogs here is something I’m really looking forward to. I’m reliable, I show up on time, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a pre-med college student at the University of San Francisco, so my schedule is flexible and works well for regular walks. I’m most available on weekday mornings before 9, afternoons, and evenings between classes, plus weekends and holidays. I can do daily walks, drop-ins, or a set weekly routine — whatever fits your dog best. Safety is the most important thing to me when walking your dog. I keep dogs leashed the whole time, stick to routes I know well, and always bring water and waste bags. I pay close attention to their body language — heat, tiredness, or nervousness around other dogs — and adjust the pace to match their age and energy. I’m really experienced walking dogs of all ages and personalities; at home, walking our dogs was always my job, and I worked around my neighborhood doing it for neighbor’s pets as well. I know the importance of consistency and ensuring the experience is enjoyable and comfortable for your pet, so I’ll follow whatever routine and commands they’re used to at home.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. As a cat mom of two, I’m very comfortable with everything from playful, social pets to shy ones who need a little extra patience and space. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. For dogs, I love getting outside for walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise, sniffing, and attention along the way. For cat drop-ins, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter, playtime, cuddles, and all those little details cat parents care about. And of course, you can expect plenty of cute photos and updates so you know your furry family member is in good hands! I am currently enrolled in school and can drop in any day of the week as needed to care for your babies while you are away. I will treat every cat as my own and ensure they are comfortable, safe, and thriving! I’m also happy to send plenty of photo updates so you know your kitty is safe, happy, and well cared for!
About: I've loved dogs even before my family got our first dog. Taking on extra responsibilities for our first dog was so exciting, and now it's all I want to do. Knowing how much I love dogs, all sorts of friends and family members have come to me for help. I just graduated from college and have moved back home to San Francisco. I am very excited to be back and get to know some dogs in the area! I would care for your dogs by paying attention to whatever needs they may have. I'd walk them, feed them, and take them outside, and I would be able to crate them if needed.
About: I’m a dependable and attentive caregiver who understands that every dog has different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m happy to adjust walks and care based on what makes each dog most comfortable. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and well-being. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and want every walk to be a positive experience. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk your dogs and house sit as well. I'm available for dog walking after 3 pm Monday and Tuesday and house sitting and dog walking Thursday through Sunday. I prioritize safety, follow your pet’s routine, instructions, and walking schedule. I maintain a clean environment, and provide attentive, calm care in your home.
“Emily was amazing and did an excellent job walking my two dogs the days I was out of town. Her communication was great and I would definitely hire her again! Thanks so much Emily for a great week!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals — from dogs and parrots to fish and even a turtle — so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog, Ola, was a golden retriever who lived a wonderful 14 years, and losing her made me realize just how much animals have shaped my life. For me, pet sitting isn't just about making sure your pet is fed and cared for — it's about getting to know *them*. I love learning their personalities, earning their trust, and figuring out the little things that make them happiest. Whether that's playing fetch, going for a long walk or hike, or simply hanging out together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I've also had experience caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I cared for Ola through her final days when she was no longer able to walk, and I've also cared for dogs recovering from injuries. Those experiences taught me to be especially attentive to an animal's comfort, routine, and individual needs, and I'll bring that same care and sensitivity to your family member. I work on a hybrid schedule, which makes it easy for me to spend extra time with pets on my remote-working days. I love the routine that comes with caring for an animal — their walks, meals, playtime, and excitement about the smallest things have a wonderful way of bringing structure and joy to my day. Your pet isn't just an animal I'm looking after — they're a little individual with their own quirks, preferences, and personality. I'd love the chance to get to know yours! I work a hybrid schedule with 2 days in/office and 3 days remote, so I have lots of time to shower your pet with attention, play and cuddles. On the days I’m out of the house, I’m home by 6PM because I hate the idea of a pet waiting too long for company. Since all I need is WiFi to get my work done, I’m also happy to spend the day at your home so your furry friend never has to be alone. My two bedroom apartment has plenty of cozy lounging space and I’m just an 8 minute walk from the park, so walks are quick, easy and never feel like a chore. Even when I don’t have a pet with me, I love stepping outside for a little fresh air during breaks, coffee runs or just to stretch my legs. Getting to share that time with a pet by my side is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day.
“Federico connected with my dog instantly and took him on long, enriching walks while I was out of town. He also sent great photos and videos throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend him!”

“Jesse was great! He took amazing care of Wally and he sent me a lot of pics and videos of their time together. Will definitely bring Wally back and would definitely recommend!”
“Sam was an incredible host for our two pups. We are so appreciative of the attention and love she gave them, her communication, and her giving us the peace of mind that they were in the best hands. They were so obviously comfortable and at ease with her. She is very thorough and makes sure that she knows all about the dogs’ habits and routines in order to make their stay is as smooth as possible. We also had to extend our trip and she was very kind to accommodate us. We are so lucky to have found Sam!”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was incredibly thorough and went out of her way to ensure both our dog and us were comfortable with her, her family, and pets. We got plenty of photos and videos while we were away which is great for peace of mind and knowing he was having fun. Best of all, our pup seemed sad to leave Cynthia and her family which spoke volumes to us about the care she provided while we were gone!”
“Sonia was a great petsitter, actually felt more like an instant friend. We left our three dogs with her for 15 days at felt totally at ease. She kept up on pictures and there was even a party. We will be using Sonia in the future.”
“Nancy took great care of our Marty boy! Kept us informed with messages and photos throughout his stay, thank you so much Nancy! One of the best Rover experiences we’ve had!”
“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!”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“This was awesome. I had never left my pup with anyone in a long time and this was so reassuring! Yingxin sent me so many photos. It helped ease my anxiety being away from my dog while in vacation. I would 100% leave my dog with her again.”
“We absolutely adore Lala, and our pup Savo feels the same. This was the second time we boarded with her, and our pup bounded up to her doorstep in excitement. She makes us feel so at ease when our pup is in her care, and we love seeing everything he’s getting up to through her regular text and photo updates. Highly recommend, your fur baby will be in great hands!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Julia was able to take Roger at the last minute and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took him on several fun adventures and made sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Roger came home happy and tired, the best sign of a great stay! I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care and would absolutely book with Julia again.”
