“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“Shelley was a wonderful host for our pup, Pepper. It was our first time leaving Pepper with a sitter and he had a great time. Shelley was attentive and accommodating of all his needs (we’re still working on leash walks and some reactivity). Shelley sent lots of updates and photos/videos of the fun adventures they had together. Additionally, Shelley was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure Pepper was comfortable. She also arranged playdates with her friend’s corgi who was a perfect playmate for Pepper. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Shelley, and Pepper came back happy and relaxed.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Anne is wonderful!! Our dog, Harry has stayed with Anne several times. Anne takes Harry on long walks a few times a day. She always sends updates with photos. We always feel comfortable leaving our baby with Anne. She makes him feel like family!”
“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.”
“Our second time leaving our dog with Wendy and I can't stress just how well Wendy looks after her. Our girl Obi and Wendy's dog Remi get along really well and enjoy long walks and endless play sessions together. Obi always comes back happy and tired.”
“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!!”
“As always, Gabrielle and Paddy take loving care of our precious’s Micco. We received daily updates and pictures, even a video of our curious boy checking out a box. I highly recommend Gabrielle and Paddy as sitters/boarders.”
“Taylor did a great job watching Tootie. This was my first time leaving her with someone she/I did not know, and he did a great job, making me feel calm and comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of. I loved the picture updates each day. I would definitely work with Taylor again.”
“Super great and professional! Ingyin sent me daily photos and videos Kiko took to her very quickly and was returned safe and happy. During my trip my flight got delayed and I had to stay an extra day which Ingyin accommodated smoothly. Talking with her showed her experience pet sitting which was reassuring for me on my trip”
“Faviano provided the best dog sitting environment ever. He sent great photos, regular updates, and was flexible and responsive. He obviously loves dogs.”

“Sylvia took great care of my cat and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave so much peace of mind. She was very communicative from start to finish. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I would love to care for your cat! While I love all animals, cats have a special place in my heart. I have the cutest (imo) 5 year-old black cat, Finn, who is deaf and has wobbly cat syndrome...he keeps me on my toes! He has made me exceptionally observant, patient, and attuned to his non-verbal cues. Before Finn, I often cared for my friends' cats when they were away traveling, ranging from kittens to seniors. Whether your cat is bold and playful, slow to warm up, or has unique accessibility or medical needs, I'll care for them like my own. I'll make sure to keep them happy and fed, keep the litter box clean, give them lots of pets and scratches, and provide detailed updates and pictures!
“XINYUAN took great care of my senior cat Tuna while I was away for a week. Everyday I would get very detailed updates on her interaction with Tina, and she followed the instructions to a T! She also promptly raised any potential health issues to me which was much appreciated (everything turned out to be fine). I was really glad to have found xinyuan and would absolutely work with her again in the future!”
“Really grateful that Sammy could help us take care of Pepper for the 2nd time on a last minute request. Sammy performed all the duties required, gave very detailed updates and even sent multiple photos of Pepper even though she was hiding under the bed. We always feel assured that Pepper is well taken care of with Sammy!”
“We had Kaki take care of our two cats, Zeus and Athena, while we were away for a week, and she was absolutely wonderful. Zeus is an extremely shy cat — our friends usually don’t even catch a glimpse of him until the third visit, if they’re lucky. Somehow, Kaki managed to coax him out, play with him, and become friends with him on her very first visit. We were genuinely amazed! Throughout the week, Kaki sent us lots of photos and videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were on the other side of the country. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up the occasional cat mess (including the classic “poop on the floor and stuck to the butt” situation), which we really appreciated. It’s clear that Kaki genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend Kaki to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter.”
“Sami is da best! We’ve worked with a handful of sitters on Rover and she feels like a rare find. She’s very communicative about cat goings on and goes above and beyond to keep the house tidy (even with our cats actively working against her). We love her and so do the cats, even the one that hides from her 😸”
“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!!”
“Tamiya was fantastic!! We went out of the country to get married and having such an attentive and patient sitter for our kitty gave us such peace of mind. It was so nice to have one less thing to worry about, and the pictures we received proved that our girl was happy, healthy, and comfortable!!”
“Lauren was phenomenal to work with Kevin loved her! She was very communicative and thorough. Definitely will be having her check on my Kevin in the future!”
“Andreya has been an incredible care taker of my elderly cat. She’s been so responsive, left detailed updates and pictures while I’ve been away. This was the longest trip away and her communication has made it even more relaxing knowing Lizzie is in good hands. Will for sure be using her services again in the future!”
“Joslyn responded to a very last minute request and was fantastic looking after my June for a few days! She had an ear infection and required ear drops and Joslyn was very patient in wrangling her and making sure she didn’t miss her medicine while I was out of town. Also loved the consistent updates and safe handling of my keys + space. Really appreciate her help and would totally book her again.”
“Incredibly grateful to Maria for her help watching my girls while I was away for a couple of days — she stayed at my place and sent daily updates/was extremely prompt with answers and overall very helpful/friendly. Definitely will reach back out to her again if I need someone to watch my two cats again !!”
“I couldn’t ask for a more caring, responsible person to care for our three cats while we were away. She provided for their diverse feeding requirements, got to be friends and played with them every visit, reported on what she and the cats did, and sent us photos after each visit. An outstanding person. You can unreservedly trust your cats with her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Downtown
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 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.
“Richard and his partner take tremendous care of my spoiled dog, Linford. They have been willing to accommodate last-minute requests and I'm always confident Linford will have a great time. He is happy to see them each time he stays at their place. Thanks, guys!”
“Ms Shanice is a very gentle person. My doggie seems she had a great time at her place. Also her doggie is the perfect assistant!! It was the first time for our doggie to stay in the dog day care or with someone else, but our family is very happy that Ms. Shanice could help our doggie for the new experience.”
“Charles accommodated Simba at the very last minute when we were visiting for the week. He was able to take care of Simba for a few hours while we went to grab dinner at a not so pet friendly establishment. Charles’ communication was prompt and very professional. Simba was happy to see him and ready to go inside with Charles as soon as they met which was very comforting for me.”
“Celia was amazing!! I will be booking with her again for boarding and the occasional day sit. I newly adopted my boy, he is about 1 year old and is learning a lot and adjusting to his new life - all which Celia was more than understanding! She provided many photos and updates throughout the day which made me feel so at ease. Highly recommend!”
“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 ❤️”
“Ivy was super communicative and took so many pictures for us! It looked like our little dog got along great with Ivy and her daughter. I would definitely recommend Ivy!”
“Auntie Anne is the best! She takes great care of my pup as if it were her own. She is very responsible, communicative, caring and I am so grateful for her care of my dog!”
“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 :)”
“Danielle continues to be our go to for dog care! She is SO communicative, takes affordable photos of the pups, and gives them plenty of love and exercise. Danielle goes above and beyond for our furry family and know she would for you also. 10/10 recommend. Thank you always Danielle!!!”
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.
“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!”
“Kelvin is VERY affectionate and caring towards all the pups he takes care of! My dog loves going to Kelvins and whines when it's time to leave ("grandparents syndrome"!!) He takes several pics, spend alot of time at the parks and walking the dogs. I highly recommend Kelvin to anyone needing either long-term or short-term care.”
“Ingyin is very sweet and she was swift to reply to my texts which is a huge plus in my books since I always have to run to work right after an early morning drop off. She was amazing and I would definitely pick her to watch Jinx again for me 😊”
“Another great stay at Betty’s! Coco can be anxious and hesitant with new people and dogs, but Betty is great at working with Coco so she feels comfortable. This was the second stay with Betty and Coco was so excited to go in when we arrived!”
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.
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and I was more nervous than my pup! But they did a great job taking care of him and providing me with updates throughout the day.”
“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.”
“Our 4 months old puppy had a great time with Yunhee. She spent her day care with two other doodles which made her much more confident around other dogs. We appreciate all the photos and updates Yunhee provided and we look forward to booking with her again soon!”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I also have experience caring for a dog with fear based aggression and anxiety. I worked closely with our veterinarian and a behavioral specialist, including medication management, 1:1 training and learning how to recognize triggers and help him feel safe. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency and meeting each dog exactly where they are. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, medication and care routines, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I’ve always given my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m typically up around 6am and am available for morning walks, midday breaks, playtime, meals, and evening walks. Since I’m home throughout the day, I can provide plenty of companionship and adjust to your dog’s usual schedule and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m naturally attentive to details, changes in behavior, routines, and overall wellbeing. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, activity restrictions, and behavioral needs. I also have experience caring for anxious and fear-reactive dogs and pay close attention to body language and comfort levels. My home has a private, fully fenced outdoor patio, which gives dogs a secure space to get fresh air and relax between walks. Pets are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable, and my goal is to provide a calm, safe, loving environment that feels like home.
“David took Winston on some great walks and gave him the attention and care needed. He was flexible with timing and requests. Winston certainly had a blast on his walks. Thanks again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs (border collies and rescues) but they have always been a huge part of me and my family’s lives. They are part of the family and a huge commitment. I am excited to meet you guys and to see how I can help support you and love on your fur babies! They deserve all the love! I have given plenty of meds, baths, walks and butt pats. Also super willing to help reinforce any training that you are working on. I am starting a new job at a hotel in Yerba Buena. They do have 8 hour shifts that I don’t believe I can run out and check on your pet on as they’re only 30 minutes and I walk to work (I do have a car though). I do not have a set schedule but can always try to request a certain shift to work with your schedule I always treat them like my own! I want to be respectful of anything you might be working with your pet on or any set procedures. I am always willing to learn something I may not know but I just want you to feel supported and be of assistance while also loving on your pet (because they are great and deserve all the love [when they’re behaving haha])
About: I grew up around all sorts of pets including my own (chocolate labradoodle!) - but in my adult life I haven’t been in a life phase for my own pet yet. I’ve pet sat for friends for both cats and dogs and am often the first call when friends go out of town, because they know I’d always love more pet time. I’ve also trained a family member’s very energetic PWD. I work remotely on Mon and Fri and I generally get home from work around 4:30pm. I am happy to fit pet care in as needed and take long walks every day and would be happy to have a dog along with me! I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for family members. I am comfortable taking care of a pet and am very respectful and mindful in others spaces. I also have experience dog walking and am very mindful of dogs around others.
“Thank you Olesia for watching our boys! You were absolutely amazing!!! You kept is updated with photos and messages and followed all our instructions perfectly. I know our high energy puppy is a lot of work! Thank you again.”
About: I have had a dog for the past 13 years and have years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. As a pet mom myself I understand how important it is to have the peace of mind that your fur baby is being loved on, paid attention to, and taken care of well. Whether it’s on a walk, a drop in visit, whatever you need your pet will be my first priority, your fur baby will be in good hands with me! I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accommodate drop in visits and walks through the week days as well as weekends. I’m here to accommodate your schedule as best as I can! Your pets safety is of the upmost importance to me. As a pet mom myself I understand these babies are your world and will always take care of keeping them safe whether that’s out on walks, returning to a crate back at home, taking precautions for pets who like to bolt, etc. they will be in good hands!
“Elric was great with my dog! Definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dog walker. He was also super responsive and was able to help me out last minute. Also provided updates throughout the walk. Thanks Elric!!”
About: Hi! Im Kaitlin! I’ve been a Pet Sitter for over 10 years now, and have hundreds of positive testimonials! If I get the chance to care for your pet, just know they will be in excellent hands!

“Matthew was a fantastic walker for our puppy Zeus for the week. He took great care with Zeus, was respectful in our home and always responded very quickly and professionally. Confidently would recommend Matthew - thank you.”
About: I’m a passionate dog lover and the proud owner of a sweet, medium multi-gen Doodle who is incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. My dog is fully socialized and loves making new playmates, meaning your pup will have an instant best friend and built-in playdates during their stay! I truly believe dogs are the best things in the world, and I treat every guest pup with the same love, structure, and attention as my own. Whether it’s active playtime, cozy cuddles, or maintaining their daily routine, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time in tech, which means my weekdays are generally busy. However, I am happy to host weekday boarding for small, independent dogs who are comfortable relaxing nearby while I work. My weekends, on the other hand, are entirely dedicated to dog adventures! Since I spend my weekends hanging out and playing with my own friendly dog, Monday, your pup will get undivided attention, plenty of outdoor time, and a built-in playmate. If you need weekend boarding, daycare, or walking, please reach out—I'd love to help I live in a cozy, dog-friendly 1-bedroom apartment near SF City Hall. It’s the perfect, secure size to comfortably host up to two dogs at a time, ensuring everyone gets plenty of personal space and one-on-one attention. We also have a wonderful, trusted group of local dog-owner friends nearby for safe, supervised socialization. Safety is my top priority. My home is fully dog-proofed. While my own pup is fully free-roaming, I keep a clean, extra-large crate on hand. If your dog feels more secure sleeping or resting in a crate, I am more than happy to set it up to make them feel right at home.
“Margaux is incredibly reliable and treats my dogs with care and patience. My pups always come home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands.”
“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.”
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.
“Elena was great with my pup! She took my dog on a walk every day for almost a week while we were out of town. She took great pictures and communicated well with us! She followed all my directions and made sure my dog was safe and taken care of. And my pupper didn't mind all the extra treats, too! I highly recommend Elena!”
“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!”
“Tamiya does such a great job with my senior pup! She provides timely updates and goes the extra mile to ensure my pup is comfortable, safe, and well-cared for. Definitely glad I chose her!”

“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.”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed.

“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.”
“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!”
“Alina accepted my boarding request very quickly and was amazing at communicating how my puppy was doing during her stay. Highly recommend Alina for any of her services ☺️”
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!
“Brianna and Jerry did a great job taking care of Domingo who is a 1 and 1/2-year-old mix of labrador and Shepherd, and he is high energy. They sent videos and photos everyday and ask me questions about Domingo's diet. They also helped with training him not to pull on the leash. They both love dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
About: 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.
“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!”
“Lilly was so well cared for and was super chills dnca when I picked her up, which is incredible as an anxious dog. I got updates throughout the evening and felt like she was in good hands.”
“Zubin did an amazing job with my dog Dino! He went above and beyond when Dino was having some bad allergies and went to the pet store to get special shampoo for him and bathed him! He was super communicative and sent lots of updates throughout. I could tell he was in good care :)”
“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!”
“We just completed a great get away to Napa, which means our dog had another wonderful stay with Leo and his family. I am so grateful for his flexibility when scheduling and his willingness to take care of Max. Our dog loves his time at his home away from home with Leo!”
About: I just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I have a flexible schedule and can check in on your animal throughout the day. I have experience with cats and dogs - and have 2 cats myself! I just moved to the city and my partner and I have flexible work from home hour. We would love to watch your furry friends while you’re away. I treat all animals that I watch as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities when watching your pets.
“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!”
