“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Maria took great care of my French bulldog, Bowie for ~10 days. Sent photos every day and was very responsive to all messages. I would definitely rebook and recommend.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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 ☺️”

“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.”

“Kristina did an awesome job taking care of our cat over the holidays! She was very attentive to our cuddly cat and gave us great daily updates about him. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
About: Friends and family know they can count on me when they need someone who truly understands and loves cats. I’m a cat person through and through, with personal experience caring for a Bengal and a long-haired domestic—so I’m familiar with the unique needs of specialty breeds. I’d love to care for your kitty like one of my own. Looking forward to hearing from you!
“Nico did a great job taking care of my two cats at the tail end of a month-long trip, coming to the rescue after my previous sitter had a last minute conflict. Nico took time to sit with the cats and make sure they were at ease, in addition to of course feeding and cleaning litter boxes! Highly recommend Nico!”
“Kim has become a go-to trusted cat-sitter. Sends great updates and has a nice rapport with our cat. They have a great time playing chase the treat down the hall. We come home to a well-adjusted calm kitty.”
“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 😸”
“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!”
“Denise took such good care of my cat, Flora. She sent detailed updates in her daily report and lots of pictures. I would absolutely ask Denise to watch Flora again.”
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.
“Anita helped me last minute with my cat. He's diabetic and has anxiety so he takes 2 pills a day orally. She was able to give them to him with little to no trouble, helped clean up my cat’s accidents & even brought over her own paper towels since I ran out. She took the cutest pictures of my baby & made sure I was always in the loop of what was going on. I cannot recommend her enough!!! Im an overprotective cat mommy so knowing I was leaving my baby with Anita made me feel so good!!”
“Ferlanti was a very attentive sitter who sent lots of videos of our cat Buddha, spent time playing with him and keeping him engaged, and kept us notified of any small concerns she noticed! Really appreciate the attentiveness and attention to detail when it came to our cat’s care!”
About: Hi! I'm a proud cat mom to my 3-year-old cat, Pepper, and I know that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, curious, or happiest napping in a sunny window, I'm happy to care for them at their own pace. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills and other routine medications, and I understand the importance of following your cat's care instructions carefully. I know that patience and a gentle approach can make all the difference. Cats thrive on routine, patience, and a calm environment. I'll make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you're away by keeping to their normal schedule, maintaining a clean space, and giving them as much attention—or as much personal space—as they prefer. My goal is to help both you and your cat feel at ease. I'm proud to provide an LGBTQIA+ friendly, inclusive, and judgment-free experience where every pet parent is welcome. I can't wait to meet your feline family member—and if they decide I'm worthy of a head bump or a lap nap, I'll consider it an honor!
“Anna was amazing with our two kitties! We loved receiving all the videos/pictures and text updates (I told her before our trip that I always appreciate extra communication :)) She really understands cat behavior and both of our cats were immediate fans. We would definitely book her again.”
“Martha was wonderful! Very attentive to our requests and needs. Took detailed notes on the care of our cat when we first met and then executed all of it. Sent lots of photos and texts while we were away, it made us feel extremely comfortable while we were on vacation. Would absolutely recommend Martha to anyone!”
“Alex is an excellent sitter! She so clearly loves animals and was so gentle and patient with my shy cat during drop-in visits. She was also very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. I would definitely recommend!”

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
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

“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.”

“Thank you Nicole! Mochi had a wonderful day with you and you took amazing care of her today 🤗. I loved her pictures and it gives me peace at work knowing she is so happy!”
About: My love for dogs started long before I got my own; I was the go-to person for friends' dogs for quite a while. Now that I work from home, I have the joy of having my own, incredibly friendly dogs constantly by my side! I work from home. I am available M to F for boarding. Some weekends are possible! Message me and let me know what you need! I have a friendly Aussiedoodle, Happy, and a shaky, Ursu, who will keep your fur baby company! I live very close to panhandle and other parks, and I walk there often! Thanks!
“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!”
“Bella always has a great time with Niriha. Over several stays now I can tell how much more comfortable and cozy she's getting at Niriha's place which means she's getting the best care. Thank you so much, Niriha!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and have learned how to care for and train them from a young age. As a teenager, I would walk a few of our neighborhood dogs and also dog sat on occasion. I currently own a 1 1/2 year old corgi who I adopted at 10 weeks so I have around the clock experience and familiarity with young dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide frequent walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and care throughout the day. My dog, Oliver, is walked 3-5 times during the work day, so dog walks are a natural fit in my current routine. Living in NoPa means we have easy access to the Panhandle, Golden Gate Park, and Buena Vista Park, as well as a few dog parks in the area. Your dog's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I have a friendly, neutered 1.5 year old Corgi who loves playing with other dogs and helps visiting pups feel welcome. Because I live in an apartment, dogs receive plenty of exercise through multiple daily walks, including trips to the Panhandle and, with your permission, visits to the dog park. Inside my home, there's space for dogs to play, relax, or simply hang out between activities. I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment, keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach so dogs can explore comfortably. I also do my best to follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special care instructions, so they feel as comfortable as possible during their stay.
“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.”
“Remo was amazing with my dog, Chewie. He was flexible with my drop off and pick up times while I was in San Francisco for a conference. He was kind and really funny each time I saw him.”
“Jenny and her boyfriend were amazing! Super flexible with drop off and pick up timing and most importantly, really great sitters -- Quinoa came back happy and tired!”
About: As a dog parent for over six years I believe pets are our family! Alongside raising my own dog Mazzi, I have spent countless hours caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My care style balances routine and safety with lots of playfulness and love; I know that dogs feel their best when they know what to expect. I'm also very experienced with anxious dogs and dogs with medical care needs. I offer a safe and loving household and welcome any of your baby's quirks or extra needs :) I worked a hybrid full-time job, in the office Monday and Wednesday. On my work-from-home days I take the pups on a morning, afternoon and evening walk in the park. On the weekends we do the same, unless we go on a hike or to the beach! I live in an apartment one block from Golden Gate Park and the panhandle. My home is very dog friendly - they are allowed on the bed or couch, where ever they are comfortable. I'm happy to abide by any rules you prefer regarding house manners, crate time, etc. We have 1 dog in the house - my 6-year old female pup Mazzi. She is very submissive and loves other dogs.
“Sue is so accommodating to our requests and so thoughtful about Maia's needs. We know she's in good hands. A great daycare experience for our small scaredy dog!”
“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.”

About: Hi! I’m Chelsea, a reliable and detail-oriented dog lover based in Haight-Ashbury, surrounded by some of San Francisco’s best parks and walking routes (Panhandle, Buena Vista, Alamo Square, and Duboce). I work fully remote at a global tech company, so your dog will get plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard, go on multiple walks daily, am comfortable administering medications, and prioritize routine, safety, and clear communication so your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for. I also have a bike and car to easily do dog walks in nearby neighborhoods! Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I’ve been working from home for several years (I work in HR for a global tech company), which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule around regular walks, playtime, and attentive care. I walk about five miles a day, so it’s easy and natural to walk a pup on my routes or welcome a dog into my home for boarding. My weekends are typically spent hiking, cooking, doing yoga, and enjoying the occasional concert - all very dog-friendly activities that allow me to stay active while making sure pets in my care get plenty of movement, enrichment, and attention! I prioritize safety, routine, and calm, attentive care. My home has a fully fenced yard and deck, giving dogs a secure space to go to the bathroom, relax, and enjoy outdoor time (especially squirrel and bird watching!). I love long walks and tailor activity levels to each dog’s needs. My own dog had double TPLO surgery at a young age, which gave me extensive hands on experience administering medications, monitoring recovery, and being especially attentive to physical and emotional cues. I’m naturally observant and cautious, and I’m good at reading dog body language — stepping in early if a dog feels unsure or overwhelmed and helping facilitate safe, positive interactions. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every dog with patience, respect, and thoughtful care.
About: Over the years I’ve built a reputation among friends, family, and neighbors as the go-to sitter—for both cats and dogs! I treat every pet like my own and take pride in being someone both animals and their humans can trust. I’m comfortable supporting pets with unique routines. I also have personal experience with high-energy and specialty breeds, so I understand the importance of tailored care. Whether your pet needs active playtime, a quiet companion, or extra patience and care, I’m here to give them the individualized attention they deserve. I'm currently looking for my next full time role so I have ultimate flexibility. Check my calendar for more details and feel free to reach out with any questions! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment that mirrors what they’re used to. In your home, I make sure to follow all your routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, favorite toys, or specific walking routes. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and always communicate regularly so you feel connected and reassured while you're away.
“Benoit was amazing with Cal! He keeps you updated throughout the walk and provides a thorough and often hilarious recap of their adventures afterward. He’s incredibly sweet with Cal, and the care and attention he gives her are obvious in how much she enjoys spending time with him. I’d highly recommend Benoit to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: Hey there, I'm Lamia! I'm a lifelong animal lover and have cared for cats, dogs, and rabbits for the past 17 years. I grew up with three cats and two bunnies, and walked my neighbors' dogs daily during summers. I currently help care for my family's 12-year-old sweet but anxious cat, Kiwi, whom I adore. I also petsit for a few friends' pets, either through overnight stays or feedings and check-ins. I have lots of experience with various pet personalities, from rambunctious and energetic to anxious and shy. I am patient with animals, and although I love to cuddle and play with those that require more attention, I also know when they need some space or a little time to warm up. I love meeting new pet friends and am looking forward to getting to know your furry family members and giving them the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I'd be happy to help! I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I can always be attentive with your pets! I love taking taking breaks from my work to play with them and make sure they’re comfortable. I also love going on walks or hanging out at parks, I'd be happy to have a buddy to take with me :) I want pets to feel as comfortable and safe as possible while their owners are away. When caring for a pet in their home, I follow their usual routines as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hii!! My name is Amelia. I am 22 and have had big dogs since the age of 3. I began dog & cat sitting at the age of 14 for my neighbors and fell in love with meeting new pups and kitties! I have always lived in a house of pups and had an elderly cat throughout college. I have seen animals in all stages of life and from all backgrounds. I am happy to get to know your furry friend and provide the best service I can! I am new to the city and figuring out a part-time job. In the meantime, I have been walking the whole city to get my grounds- this would be much more fun with a furry friend! I truly enjoy spending time lounging around with pups; however, when playtime comes, I have a fenced yard behind my apartment. Luckily, Golden Gate Park is nearby for a run or a game of fetch too! I enjoy going on walks daily and would love to have a buddy to take.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors for the past several years, including regularly watching a senior Shih Tzu — administering his medication and adjusting to his slower pace and specific needs. I also help care for my roommate's Blue Heeler, a high-energy breed that requires regular exercise and mental stimulation, so I'm comfortable with active, driven dogs as well as calmer, senior ones. I'm experienced with medical needs, multi-pet households, and adapting my approach to each pet's individual energy level and temperament — whether that means a brisk walk to burn off energy or a slow, patient stroll for an older dog. For medications I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, and occasional injections as needed. If you have any specific questions regarding your pet's care needs, or more specifics on my experience, please reach out! I work full-time from home, which gives me flexibility to fit walks and visits into my day without needing a rigid schedule. I'm generally available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and can adjust my blocks as needed to accommodate your pet's routine. Thursdays I'm away from home for work, so I'm not available that day. But every other day of the week, there's usually a window that works. I take the time to meet every pet at their own comfort level — whether that means a slow, patient introduction for a shy or anxious animal, or matching the energy of a playful, high-drive dog. I'm respectful of both your pet's routine and your home, and I stay adaptive throughout our time together, adjusting my approach based on what each individual animal needs to feel safe and at ease.
“Tobin has been walking Reese for a few months now. He's consistently attentive to Reese. I really like that Tobin is flexible with schedule requests. He’s easy to reach and extremely responsive.”
About: I've cared for my own dog for the past two years and have also looked after my friends' dogs. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities! Whether it's going on walks, playing, or giving them lots of love and attention, I'll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. As I prepare to start college, I'm excited to spend my free time caring for pets by going on walks, playing, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I'm attentive to their body language and can tell when they need space, reassurance, or playtime. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs who love to stay active and more laid-back dogs who prefer to relax. I'll follow your pet's routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they receive plenty of love.
“Lauren was great - she came for a meet and greet, had great questions, arrived right on time, and followed all instructions! I would definitely book again.”
“RJ was very professional and easy to work with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy the time that he spent with them on walks and during playtime, and RJ appeared to connect with them as well. Excellent service provider and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him to care for my pets in the future. Thanks RJ!”

“So reliable. Got along super well with my bid dog. Listened carefully to instructions. Kept my dog safe, loved, exercised, and fed. I like that he is a San Francisco native who has lived in my neighborhood forever. Very good human!”
“Martha is easy to communicate with, super reliable and very caring towards my pups. I feel lucky to have met her and so relieved that my little fluffy friends have Martha to take them out each day!”
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.
“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!”

“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.”
“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 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.
“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!”
“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 ☺️”
“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!”
“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.”
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: Been around animals my whole life. Mostly dogs, some cats, and I was even living with a ferret for years in Denver as well! The majority of the time I have cared for border collies, so I know how to take care of high energy dogs. Panhandle park is only one block away from where I live, so there and Golden Park are my go-to areas for great walks. Our house has plenty of space with a large patio area and small potty area on side. I can spend all my time with your pet! No work at the moment. But will start back up after the holidays. So I will be part time next year, doing both pets and part time job. House has 3 floors, plenty of space, and has a nice outdoor patio and potty area by side of the building. Fur babies are allowed of furniture ( but only some beds).
“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!”
“We had a great experience boarding our pup with Go. He is very quick to respond, communicates clearly and is very pleasant and friendly. We had a meet and greet twice before we actually left my pup with Go and his wife. They were kind to Hira, asked good questions, clearly went through my care instructions. We felt comfortable boarding for almost 3 weeks. Throughout the stay Go sent pictures, and kept us informed. They took Hira to the park every day and she seemed very happy and comfortable with them. We will definitely rebook for our next trip! Highly recommend! Thanks Go!”
“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!”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
“Annabelle and family took such good care of Lois and I think Lois misses being with them! They were very responsive and sent us lots of picture updates. And she got to have a lot of fun going to the dog park, out to the Haight st fair, and just relaxing at the house with the kids. Would definitely recommend Annabelle & family to anyone, especially with big nervous dogs who need some extra love while their owners are away :)”
“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!”
