“Wonderful experience! I am so happy & relieved. Katie kept me posted & answered all my questions. This was our first sleepover & we can’t wait to come back ! Thank you Katie!”
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.
“Wonderful care and excellent communication from Sherry. We did a meet and greet which went well, before she took him for the holiday week while I visited family overseas. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Sherry and her lovely little dog. He was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. We don't leave him very often but I would not hesitate to take him back to Sherry in the future . So grateful to have found her.”
“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“Albina took great care of Abby. This was my very first time leaving her with a sitter and I was a very anxious momma! Albina was patient with me and put my anxiety at ease with ongoing communication, pictures, and videos. I would definitely recommend Albina!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Hank asked a lot of good questions about Sparky, helping is to feel confident that he would be responsive to her needs. She came home happy & settled after her stay. We also appreciated the photos Hank sent - very thoughtful.”
About: I’ve 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!
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“My pup had a great overnight stay at Julie's! Pick up and drop off was very smooth and she was a great communicator/quick responses. Will definitely be booking again!”
“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.”
“Lynn is amazing and very professional! She took great care of Leo and it was great to see Leo socializing with other dogs. Leo fell sick and Lynn took him to hospital as soon as she thought it was necessary. We felt at ease knowing the way she looked after Leo. Highly recommend Lynn!”
“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!”
“Moddy had the best time with Lei. I had wonderful photo updates and it was clear that Lei cared about Moddy’s welfare, diet and fun! Winston, Lei’s dog is gorgeous and her son and family contributed to Moddy’s excellent stay. This was one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had. I cannot recommend Lei highly enough.”
“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!”
“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.”

“Elric is very professional. Though we only booked 4 visits during 10 days, he came at least 6 times to take care of the pet and appliances at our home. He even did some vaccum to keep the house clean. Overall, I will give him 6 out of 5.”
“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.”
“Andrea's super attentive and caring and followed all instructions wonderfully! She got along really well with my cat, would definitely book again in the future!”
About: I have a cat myself so I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else. I’m really patient with both cats and puppies, especially the shy or more nervous ones, and I’m happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I can help with feeding, litter, walks, playtime, basic grooming and lots of company and cuddles if they want them. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates because I know I’d want the same for my own pet.
“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!!”
“Yang was great; she dropped in to feed and play with our cat every day for a few days. Super communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures :) It was great to know our cat was in good hands while we were away. Would definitely book again.”
“Lauren was phenomenal to work with Kevin loved her! She was very communicative and thorough. Definitely will be having her check on my Kevin in the future!”
“Joslyn responded to a very last minute request and was fantastic looking after my June for a few days! She had an ear infection and required ear drops and Joslyn was very patient in wrangling her and making sure she didn’t miss her medicine while I was out of town. Also loved the consistent updates and safe handling of my keys + space. Really appreciate her help and would totally book her again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats with all kinds of personalities—shy, playful, independent, and cuddly. I understand that cats need patience, gentleness, and a calm environment to feel safe. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving meds, or just spending time and giving attention (when they want it!), I always aim to make your cat feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every cat like they’re my own and pay close attention to their unique needs and routines.
“Sarah was an amazing sitter for my cat, NianNian. She was communicative, dependable, and very attentive to details. Her updates and photos were excellent, and I felt at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I love cats and have been pet sitting my friends cats for years. I’m good with both friendly and not so friendly cats. Happy to clean the litter box, feed them, make sure they get some play time in, etc.

“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 :)”
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.
“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.”
About: From toddling around with pups to raising my own German Shepherd, dogs have always been around in my life.

I am a hardworking and passionate dog lover, so you can trust me for taking awesome care of your dog! I will cater to your dog’s needs and send photos/videos whenever needed! I have a flexible remote job and work everyday at home, so taking your dog out based on his/her schedule will never be a problem. I am an outdoorsy person so I go on hikes and beaches on weekends, which means I’m ready to take your baby out for adventure! I live in a cozy and spacious apartment on the first floor with a garden patio. I’m also 3 min walk to Yerba Buena Garden to walk your baby. I also have a car so I am ready to take your baby to any big dog parks or outdoor places if needed.

“When our dog sitter had to cancel at the last minute, Dylan came to the rescue! With almost no notice, he took in our pups and took such great care of them. He stayed in touch, sending updates and pics, and was very flexible with our schedule. We are so appreciative of Dylan and would recommend him to others in or traveling to the San Francisco area.”
“Lauren is such a sweet and caring dog sitter; she sent me tons of photos and made sure my dog stayed cool during the heat wave, so I love her and recommend her to every dog owner.”
“Kabir is a truly excellent puppy sitter/walker who our pup loves to hang out with. He is extremely reliable and responsible, and will provide you with regular pic updates of your baby’s stay. Kabir will tire your pup out and will hand him back to you with his tail wagging! Highly recommended!”
“Kristin is great! She was flexible and organized, and perhaps most importantly Eva was quite happy to see her and Moppy on the second day. As a bonus I got some of the best cutest pictures ever during sitting.”
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.

“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.”
“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!!

About: I grew up with a Yorkshire Terrier who was part of my family until she passed away at 16 years old, so I have cared for a dog through every stage of life, from a playful puppy to a senior dog who needed medication, gentle walks, and extra patience. I also pet sit for my friends whenever they travel, and I have handled feeding schedules, daily walks, and dogs who get nervous when their owner is away. I am calm and careful, I never put a dog in a risky situation, and I always send photo updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. I work part time from home with a flexible schedule, so I am around during the day and can easily fit drop in visits and walks into my routine. Mornings, midday, and evenings all work for me on weekdays, and I am available on weekends too. Because I set my own hours, I can also respond quickly if you need to add a visit or change a time at short notice. I am a calm and careful person, and that is exactly how I handle your pet. In your home I follow your instructions closely: the same feeding times, the same routines, and the same house rules you already use. I always double check doors, windows, and gates before I leave, and I keep the leash secured at all times. On walks I choose quiet, familiar routes and avoid crowded streets, off leash dog areas, and anything that could put your pet in a risky situation. If something seems off, I contact you right away, and I send photo updates after every visit.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since college, including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I’m a pet parent myself—I have a picky cat and have learned the ins and outs of routines, medications, messes, and all the little details of pet care. I prioritize routines for comfort and confidence while providing enrichment through play, toys, and interaction. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities, ages, and special needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra care. My schedule is quite flexible, so I’m able to plan my days around your pet’s needs. With good communication, I can accommodate a variety of routines, timing preferences, and care requests I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs. In your home, I follow schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to keep pets comfortable and secure. In my SoMa apartment, dogs enjoy a rooftop dog run and nearby parks for exercise and enrichment, while cats have litter boxes, cat trees, and perches. I stick to routines for confidence and add play, toys, and interaction to keep every pet happy, engaged, and well cared for.

About: I have been working and volunteering with animals since I was 17 years old and have been dog sitting/walking for 5+ years on wag walker! I was a dog groomer with Natural Pawz for 1 and a half years and volunteered with friends fur life for half a year! Have always worked with animals and am very passionate about their health and well being. My days revolve around animal care whether it’s dog sitting/walking or caring for the cats in my neighborhood! My neighborhood used to have a huge problem with aggressive stray cats or loose dogs so I began working with local animal shelters and clinics on getting them fixed through TNRing. Have found homes for dogs that were dropped off on my street and most of the cats on my street are now fixed and vaccinated! They’re no longer as aggressive as they used to be and their health conditions have improved significantly. I live in a gated house with plenty of space in the back for cats and dogs to have outdoor time. There is an empty guest room in case any pet needs some space or quiet or just for ones who may be shy or prefer to be alone.
“Selena is the absolute best! We have a high maintenance and energetic border collie who requires a lot of attention and exercise. Selena walked and played with our dog twice a week and was always super responsive, on time, and sent us adorable photos. She’s extremely reliable and empathetic with dogs who need more than just the couch!”

“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 grew with pets and have a special bond with cats. I am extremely sensitive to their energy and make sure they are loved and taken care of! Being around animals to me is therapeutic and being an energy healer, I also find that my presence comforts them. I have flexibility to offer drop-ins both during the weekdays and weekends. I am extremely respectful of my clients homes, and treat it like my own in terms of caution and cleanliness when taking care of the fur babies.
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 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 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’m currently working part-time so, time is flexible. I will have a plenty of time to hang out with your pets. I’m available for week day and on weekends also. 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.
About: I use an exercise + discipline = reward walking and sitting style that keeps dogs calm, focused, and proud of their own progress. My lifetime of hands‑on dog work — including Bark Chicago, Wolfkeeper University, and helping launch five doggie daycares — shaped a method where dogs respond to my calm, zero‑stress energy and mirror it back. I was hired in the 2005 daycare boom because dogs trusted me instantly, and that trust became the foundation of a regimen that kept incidents almost nonexistent: only 3 insurance cases in 6 years. These proven, real‑world methods kept high‑risk environments safe and kept problems at bay. Pet care is fully integrated into our daily routine. I operate a dedicated dog day‑care home, and my son works alongside me as part of a reliable, structured two‑person team. Together, we maintain consistent supervision, smooth communication, and a calm, organized environment for every dog in our care. Our coordinated approach ensures that every task is handled promptly and professionally, providing your pet with dependable, high‑quality attention throughout the day. Your dog gets one‑on‑one care in one of the safest, most walkable parts of San Francisco — the Financial District, right by the glowing Salesforce Bridge and just steps from the Bay Bridge waterfront. This gives us clean, open ocean‑air walking routes with wide paths, steady foot traffic, and excellent visibility. It’s one of the best places in the city for secure, controlled, high‑quality solo dog walks. Inside my home, your dog stays in a calm, structured environment with full supervision. Feeding, resting, and play all happen in designated individual areas, keeping your dog relaxed, confident, and safe. With a premium neighborhood, oceanfront walking built into the routine, and focused one‑dog attention, your pet gets an energetic, secure, and personalized experience every day.

“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
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!
“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 🤍🐾”
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.
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.
“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.”
“Raquel was a hero for our dog and for us this past weekend. Our dog developed a stomach illness during his first night, and Raquel was quick to communicate his symptoms, set up consultation with Rover services, and tend to all of our poor guy’s needs throughout his sickness. She was available to talk to me on the phone to fill me in on his symptoms and determine a solution with his vet. She even graciously went to his veterinarian’s office to pick up medication for him. We are so grateful that Raquel was the person watching our dog this past weekend while he was unwell! While we were still worried about him, she helped significantly ease our anxiety knowing that she was watching him closely and giving him plenty of cuddles while he felt sorry for himself. Once he started feeling better, she was lovely enough to bring him for a good play session “because he deserves some fun” after his sick days. We would absolutely recommended Raquel! She’s professional, kind, and dedicated to taking care of the pups in her care.”
“He clearly cared deeply about my pup when I had to find a sitter in short notice, he sent pictures, updated me daily and truly relieved any stress I had for boarding my 120lbs German Shepherd. Kraig is great, and I’d recommend him to anyone with a large dog, or simply just to anyone looking for a sitter/trainer/companion while busy.”
“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.”
“Jeff and Olivia are the absolute BEST sitters I've ever worked with! I left my energetic 2-year old lab with them for 2 days and each day they sent over multiple high-resolution photos, videos, and texts with small anecdotes from the day together. Super responsive and genuinely caring, dog-loving people. Would work them again in a heartbeat. Thank you both for the outstanding help!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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: My name is Lillie, I’m 31 and have had dogs my entire life. I have a mix breed dog, who loves other doggos. We live near lots of parks and do multiple walks a day. I work from home so have lots of time to play with your dog. Our current walk/pee schedule is: right when we wake, lunch time, before dinner, and before bed. My apartment is small, so we make sure to tire the dogs out while walking. My dog sleeps on his bed, so we can either have your dog in a crate or bed nearby. Whatever is best!
“Viktoriya took very good care of Magnolia who is a very energetic pup. She took magnolia on lots of long walks and sent lots of update photos- magnolia can home happy! we will happily rebook next time we’re out of town.”
“Kaz and Yoko are absolutely fantastic sitters! This is the first time Izzy has stayed with someone that isn’t family and she was so happy and well cared for. I am so glad to have found sitters who I trust completely and who Izzy loves so much. I loved how communicative they were with me and would send me photos everyday and I could see all the fun Izzy was having. Izzy is looking forward to her next stay with them in two weeks! Thank you!”
“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.”
