“Sonia did an amazing job taking care of Mona for 2 weeks! Mona was so happy staying at her place! Sonia sends photos and update very frequently and responds quickly. She also did some training with her on leash walking and it’s very helpful.”
“Gordon and Allison are two of the most friendly people I have ever met. They have a great home where Sadie will be safe and well cared for. They asked many questions about Sadie and handled the business very professionally. I knew I had picked the right place after the meet and greet. The secure property is great so I didn't have to worry about Sadie getting lost or stolen. Gordon and Allison took photos and sent me notes daily about how Sadie was doing during her stay. I was late in picking Sadie up due to transportation and Gordon and Allison were great about the delay. I truly appreciated there understanding my problem. ”
“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!!!”
“We trust Sam SO much with Bisco. She is attentive to his needs and communicative- despite the fact that when we first started working with Sam, Bisco was basically just a new puppy and pretty high needs. We would recommend Sam to anyone and are so grateful for her!!”
About: Hello, I'm Chasen. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up in Fresno, California, I spent my teenage years helping my mother rescue and care for dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all personalities and needs. I currently have two 6-year-old bulldogs, one French Bulldog and one English Bulldog, and I understand the importance of patience, attention, and proper care. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment where every pet feels secure and well cared for. I have full-time availability since I work from home as an artist, allowing me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I maintain an active routine, starting my days early and staying available from 5 AM to 10 PM. I frequently take my own dogs on walks at a nearby park and enjoy giving animals the exercise, companionship, and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. I live on the 6th floor of a secure apartment building with locked and secured windows to ensure a safe environment for all pets in my care. My own two dogs are crate trained and have access to a gated area of the home where they can comfortably relax and move around safely. I am happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and follow any specific instructions from owners to help their animals feel comfortable and at home. My apartment complex also has a designated dog run area, providing a safe option for late-night bathroom breaks or walks after 10 PM when needed.
“George & Ludmila we’re fantastic with my dog. I could tell she fell at home with them from the second they met. I loved the updates and knowing she was getting special attention while I was away. Thank you guys!”
“Grayson can be a pip!! It takes her a while to warm up. Fabiano listened and watched her verbal/physical cues, and earned her trust! She loves Fabiano, and so do we! Recommend A++++”
“Katie was fantastic with our little lady! She provided lots of picture updates, communicated great, and I could tell Cedar had a great time with her. I trust Katie to take good care of our dog :) grateful!”
“Melissa is a great dog friend. The moment my dog Xico, who is very sensitive one, met with her he felt comfortable annd safe. And Archy, her dog is just as adorable as Melissa. Thanks”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with pets and has a little black cat at home. 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.
“Neriah is great! My dog came back wanting to stay with her. She was super easy to get in contact with and shared updates constantly. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“Shelley was so great taking care of my dog as usual. She sent regular updates, and I could tell really cared for my dog. She was also accommodating when I had to change my pickup time. Would highly recommend her!”
“Katie was amazing! She watched our pug for a couple days while we were out of town, and he came back happy and healthy! He even had some buddies to play with while we were gone. She responded quickly to my messages and it looks like Karl had a great time. Thank you Katie!”

“Catherine was great! She was able to come meet Jupiter before our trip, and to get keys. She was really communicative, and our cat loved her. Would definitely recommend!”
“My kitties loved Daniel and so did we! He was communicative and thorough in his care of our cats. Our cats don’t always come out for new people but they did for him. Will definitely use Daniel again for our cat care.”
“This was my very first time leaving my kitten Birdie and I am so grateful for Kara & Val!! Birdie was immediately welcomed in as part of their family and was showered with attention and playtime for the entire weekend. I was more than a bit anxious leaving my baby but Kara was so reassuring and felt much more at ease leaving Birdie in her care. I appreciated all the regular updates and pictures, which helped calm my nerves while I was away. Will definitely be booking Kara & Val again!”
“Thank you Sue for being so flexible with changing the date of one of my visits. Really appreciate your help and how responsive you were over the holidays!”

“Ivonne did an amazing job caring for my two kittens with overnight stays for my first long-ish trip away! She sent photos and videos every day and I could see how comfortable they were with her immediately and that she was spending significant time playing with them - giving them lots of cuddles and affection. She also left our apartment cleaner than before she stayed! We've already booked Ivonne for our next couple of trips!”
“Vivian is such an amazing pet sitter! A genuinely sweet and caring soul, Vivian was very kind, patient, and generous with our cats and even took lots of really adorable pictures of them. It was my first time using the app, but I felt instantly at ease and knew our cats were in good hands after talking to Vivian, who is conscientious and responsible with great communication skills. Vivian truly went above and beyond!”
“Ferlanti went above and beyond for my Archie boy. Archie is diabetic with various health issues and Ferlanti send videos of her giving insulin- she took everything I asked of her into careful detail. She noticed Archies breathing was off and immediately let me know and came back to stay with him outside of her sitting times until someone could take him to the emergency vet. While at the vet, she checked in with me on how he was doing and worked with me even if any requests needed to be changed. She kept me updated constantly, cleaned up the messes and kept my apartment tidy & really helped keep me at ease. I can tell how much she loves animals and cares so deeply about taking such great care of them. I would recommend her over and over and over. Archie is a sweet cat but he definitely needs a lot of attention and I felt so confident leaving him in her care. She is absolutely incredible and I cannot thank her enough for each and everything she did for me and my boy!!!”
“This is the third time we’ve had Velma take care of our cats while we’ve been out of town. She went out of her way to create a calming and happy environment within our home. Despite one of my cats being a bit temperamental, she was patient with her and earned her trust in no time. She was attentive to their needs, even feeding my cat her medication when her asthma was acting up. We were able to enjoy our time away with no worries since we knew our cats were in good hands. Thanks again Velma!”
“I highly recommend Grace as a pet sitter! She provided exceptional care for my cat and was incredibly communicative with frequent updates and pictures that reassured me while I was away. Her flexibility was also outstanding—she accommodated my last-minute schedule changes without any issue. It's evident how much she loves animals, as she ensured my cat received the best care and attention. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Nina did a great job caring for Luna. She communicated with me daily, provided updates, and photos of Luna. Despite Luna being shy, I felt comfortable knowing she was in very capable hands. Thanks Nina!”
“Maho is amazing! She leaves very detailed reports about everything from litterbox info to playtime, and I feel so secure leaving my cat in her capable hands. She’s very responsive and reliable and I can tell my cat is having a great time with her. I am so thankful I found Maho! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jesse did several drop-in visits for my kitties over the holidays and did a great job, we got several photos every visit and it took a huge weight off my shoulders as a first time Rover user. I would definitely recommend Jesse to others!”
“Alex is an absolute delight and it's clear that she loves animals, I knew my cat would be in safe and sweet hands with her!

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 around and have taken cared of dogs all my life. I babysit for friends, help them with basic training (ie.sit, stay) and have a lot of experience with senior dogs because of my 13 year old beagle Midnight. I can cook specific meals, help them ingest pills and have a car in case of emergencies. Boarding will be at my apartment where I work from remotely. It has a lot of space, a balcony and a separate outdoor area for frequent outdoor breaks throughout the day. I work from home and am close to 2 parks. Your dog will get at least 2 good long walks and a ton of outdoor breaks in between. I’m a homebody so afternoons and evenings will be indoors and a lot of couch time for your pup. If there’s an occasion where I would be out of the house for errands, max would be 3 hours- this is because I don’t leave my dog for long as well. I have cameras installed for safety and monitoring. I have my apartment has a separate balcony and motion cameras for monitoring. Being a beagle mom, all food, potential chocking hazards are off the floor to avoid any accidents.
“Mikele was fantastic with Archie! She was flexible when we were running way late for drop off. She sent lots of photos and made us feel so at ease while we were out. We hope Archie gets to see Mikele again soon!”
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
About: I grew up with four cats and three dogs and I love caring for our four legged family members. I'm a stay at home cat dad (for now) while my husband works in Sacramento, so happy to host doggies for the day or take your K9 for a walk. I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to look out for your dog or cat. There's the occasional week I am out of town, but largely in SF. I have a house in the Inner Richmond with an enclosed backyard. There are steps leading up to the front door and out the backyard.
“Aaron was so intuitive with our somewhat selectively social dog. I could tell he knew how to work with dogs immediately. Aaron also was east to coordinate and communicate with. Quincy can’t wait to stay with Aaron again!”
About: I grew up in a cat household but have had my pup for 12 years since she was a puppy. I love all animals and have grown particularly fond of small dogs since my dog was gifted to me 12 years ago! I only work 3 days a week and on the days I’m home, I’d love to care for your small dog! My girl is used to dogs visiting and I am happy to love on your baby like my own! Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I never allow them in the backyard without supervision and is not a substitution for regular walks every 2 hours (or more as needed). Also, I am a human nurse so I would be comfortable with administering medications as necessary!
“My dog Jakki liked Jesse with the meet and greet. As she arrived to get babysit. She remembered him. Jakki had a good time with the pet sitter and his fur babies. He was nice, sincere and gave me updates how Jakki was and sent pictures of Jakki to make me feel good about Jakki. Thank you, Jesse so being so accommodating with watch in her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sue was wonderful with our pup Archie. She sent lots of photos and provided great updates. Easy to communicate with and was very accommodating with my last minute requests. Thanks Sue!”
About: I'm a communications professional for 30 years now, so it comes natural for me to share with pet owners every milestone of any day they're apart from their pets and trusting me with their care. For 20 years, I've cared for my friend's dogs, cats, and chickens in the Bay Area just for the fun of it. Now I'd like to open my experience and hope it will lead to more travel when I retire in a few year. Also, I have a veterinarian friend on speed dial. I've never had to call in an emergency. But I could! I work from home most days. I write, so I sit at my desk and I don't move much. I love having a cat on the desk or a well-exercised dog in their bed waiting for my next move. I go downtown twice a week, but I have a retired neighbor who volunteers at Animal Control and the SF Zoo who is nuts about dog-walking to fill-in for noontime walks. I like to treat all pets like they're my own, with a little extra in an auntie kind of way. I am an expert Kong-stuffer and a tug of war extremist, with a nice car that I don't mind getting hairy or muddy. Poo and litter are not things I shy away from. I love the smell of pet feet.
“Amazing! Took a trip to SF and was worried about finding a dog sitter for the day. Very trustworthy and glad he took such great care of her. Definitely will trust him again with my Brisket.”
“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!”
“Remy had a wonderful time with Ivy! She had lots of excursions and romps around the park with Ivy’s other dogs - she had so much fun! Thanks, Ivy! Remy will be back!”

“Jenny and her partner are wonderful! They are super friendly and kind people so we felt super comfortable leaving our boy Carmine with them. He came back health and calm.”
“Leilani is an incredible sitter who went above and beyond in her care of our Pomeranian Tocino. She sent a *ton* of photos and videos of him and it looks like he had a blast: park walks, nap time, and quality human interaction (his favorite thing!). As a former Rover sitter and frequent client, I cannot stress enough how Leilani's flexibility, responsiveness, and generosity is unmatched and made our work trip the easiest we'd had. We visit San Francisco semi-frequently and we're excited to entrust her with Tocino again soon ?”
“Sam was great to work with! It was obvious upon meeting her that she is professional and knowledgeable about dogs. She made us feel comfortable leaving Moose with her for the day right away and kept us posted with photos and updates. We will rebook in a heart beat!”

“I cannot recommend Dionie highly enough! For an entire time of the booking, he walked my dog twice a day, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. My dog, who can be a bit picky with new people, immediately warmed up to him. Each walk was timely, and I could tell from my dog's happy demeanor that they enjoyed every moment. Dionie was incredibly professional, always providing updates and photos, which put my mind at ease knowing my furry friend was in good hands. He went above and beyond to ensure my dog had plenty of exercise, playtime, and even some extra love and attention. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and friendly dog walker, look no further than Dionie. I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“We have a reactive dog and Joseph has been doing a terrific job managing her in our neighborhood with lots of dogs. You’re so great to help and so happy that fell. Get these walk during the day.”
“Jesse was super flexible and took care of my baby with last minute notice! Knowing that he was getting attention and exercise from Jesse put this new dog mom at ease while being at work. Will definitely be a regular of Jesse’s clients!”
About: While the rest of my family is remarkably allergic to just about anything with fur, I’ve been the odd one out, and able to interact with all kinds of furry friends. I spent a large amount of time during my childhood helping my pediatrician take care of, and walking, their two dogs, a Great Dane, and a Pitbull. Both dogs ended up adoring me, and this eventually extended to any friendly dog I’ve encountered since. My current work situation has me free to provide care for any furry or fuzzy friends most days in the week, with the only limits being some personal commitments on Fridays and Weekends. I follow all provided instructions regarding the pet to the letter, and make sure to check-in with the owners when possible. I make absolutely sure that the pet is comfortable, cared for, and safe for the entire time I’m providing care

“James is an excellent dog walker for our dog, Dory! Dory can be a little shy and wary of strangers, but she really warmed up to James within a pretty short time period. We attribute it to James’ easygoing nature and positive energy. He is incredibly responsive, provides very thoughtful updates, sends many photos of our sweet pup, and always keeps us informed. We are grateful for James and appreciate that he treats our Dory girl with love, kindness, and patience. She seems to enjoy her walking adventures with him! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker they can trust!”
“Nancy is amazing! She was very patient despite the fact that our intercom wasn’t working and even stayed extra time to make up for the lost time. She sent frequent photos throughout and was very loving with Billy.”
“Callie is a great dog-walker! She takes good care of our big older dog and communicates well if the dog is extra low-energy or otherwise behaving differently than usual. Lucky to have her!”
About: I have had pets al of my life (many cats and dogs, both small and large). I have eaten many a meal with a cat on the dinner table (bad, I know). I can play with the dog, or chill with the cat. I also enjoy long walks and watching tv, so I can do whatever the pet wants to do. I am currently working part time at a wine bar and searching for a job in the esthetics world (I just graduated school). I am free during the day and most evenings. I care for any pet like it’s my own. I will feed regularly and clean the litter box when needed. I am also a LitterRobot owner so I am proficient in cleaning it, or ‘fixing it’. I have many toys for my cat to use, but they only just look at them…
About: I grew up with a dog at home but love cats and dogs :) I live a busy life but love caring for, hanging out with, & photographing animals in my free time! I work 2-3 days a week so I have plenty of days free! I am usually available Wednesdays and every other weekend, but I am willing to accommodate more as needed. I will stick to your routine! Safety and trust is so important. I will communicate with you if there are any questions I have and keep you updated as often as you would like me to but especially in case of emergency or any unexpected event.
About: Hi! I’m Angie — a dedicated dog walker with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from single on-leash walks to managing groups of up to 8 dogs off-leash. I’m experienced with medical and behavioral needs, including seizure-prone dogs, neurodivergent/autistic dogs, seniors, and pups who need extra patience and structure. Safety, calm energy, and clear communication are always my priority. Dog walking is more than a job for me. It’s meaningful, grounding work that I genuinely love, and I treat every dog as if they’re my own. Dog walking is my primary focus, and I structure my daily and weekly routine around providing consistent, dependable care for my clients. I prioritize recurring walks so dogs can maintain familiar routines, build trust, and feel comfortable over time. My flexible schedule allows me to reliably accommodate both ongoing clients and occasional requests while ensuring each dog receives attentive, un-rushed care. Dog walking is my primary focus.

“Working with Rocio for daily walks has been great!! She’s very consistent with communication and photos and I have complete trust that she’s taking the best care of my frenchie every day. 100% recommend!”
About: When I was 8, my family adopted a senior dog from Muttville named Lady. She was blind and deaf, and very high maintenance. I cared for her by helping make her food, carrying her up and down stairs, and gave her so much love up until she passed away. My family now owns a dog and a cat, and the care I learned from Lady now is implemented into my daily life with them both. Since discovering my love for animals, I have cared for my neighbors pets whenever they ask, and I always form a strong bond with each cat and dog on my street. I am available for any time throughout the week to care for your animals. I feed and walk my dog in the mornings, and play with my cat outside too! I make sure to spend a lot of time with the animals I look after, because I genuinely enjoy playing and forming a connection with them!
About: I have a 10-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care. Whether your pet loves long walks or prefers staying in, I adapt to their needs. I’m happy to walk, feed, play, and spend quality time with your pet—whether that’s active play outside or simply keeping them company indoors. I also make sure to keep your space clean and take care of any pet-related messes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine through my new business, Lucky Paws Pet Sitting Bay Area. I structure my schedule to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I typically begin in the morning around 7 AM, where I spend up to 5 hours with pets, including a 1-hour walk, feeding, and playtime. During the day, pets may be left for 6–8 hours if they are comfortable being alone or crate trained. I always plan this around each pet’s individual needs and routine. In the evening (starting around 6 PM), I return for up to 4 hours of care, including a walk, feeding, and wind-down time before settling in for the night. Overnight care is available for clients within a reasonable distance of my location, and includes both evening and morning routines to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I do not provide 24/7 constant care, but I prioritize consistency, routine, and quality time, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to best match your pet’s needs.

About: I have always had such a heart for animals and pets but there is always a special place in my heart for dogs and cats! ❤️I grew up with both dogs, cats, and a lot of rabbits, lol, and I really love all types of animals. I grew up with a Standard Poodle and then a Lab, and always walking them was like an event! I also grew up with Maine Coon cats and really love cats as well! I have a passion and interest in caring for animals and would love to walk your dog or care for your cat. Happy to walk, play, feed and groom your dog/cat. I will give your dog/cat the attention, walk, play and other requests are always welcome. I have open availability currently. I ensure the pets safety, follow any feeding/ medication schedule while providing a fun and safe space for your dog/cat and ensuring your dog/cat is given the most attention and good care while also getting a healthy exercise. I will make your pet feel comfortable and well cared for and would provide an engaging experience. I currently have open availability for the summer, since I work for the school district. I am available Monday-Sunday in the morning, day, and evening. I am committing to dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting and I do live in close proximity to the Presidio and Crissy Field which is a great location I would be happy to take your dog to.

“Sonia did an amazing job taking care of Mona for 2 weeks! Mona was so happy staying at her place! Sonia sends photos and update very frequently and responds quickly. She also did some training with her on leash walking and it’s very helpful.”
“We trust Sam SO much with Bisco. She is attentive to his needs and communicative- despite the fact that when we first started working with Sam, Bisco was basically just a new puppy and pretty high needs. We would recommend Sam to anyone and are so grateful for her!!”
“Katie was fantastic with our little lady! She provided lots of picture updates, communicated great, and I could tell Cedar had a great time with her. I trust Katie to take good care of our dog :) grateful!”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with pets and has a little black cat at home. 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.
“Neriah is great! My dog came back wanting to stay with her. She was super easy to get in contact with and shared updates constantly. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“Absolutely incredible, loving, and attentive experience for Pickle!!! Got so many photos and quick responses - I knew she was in great hands. Also had piece of mind knowing Victoria had a Furbo/petcam for when she occasionally left to run an errand and the fact that they have access to a shared yard in their building!!! Would 1000/10 recommend, thank you Victoria!!”
“Chelsea was great! Took fabulous care of our border collie, and was super on it with meds + sticking within the allowed physical activity while our pup recovers from a broken leg. She sent tons of photos & I could tell our dog had an amazing time and loved staying with Chelsea!”
“Steven took wonderful care of our pup Eevee! He sent daily picture updates and took her on all kinds of walks at different parks - each day looked like a new adventure! She seemed like a happy girl when we came to pick her up:) Would definitely recommend him!”
About: Shelby grew up with Labrador retrievers ever since she was 5 years old. She has experience with medication administration, ear cleaning, walking, and more. We have a 2.5 year old dachshund who we crate, potty, and leash trained. We are both dog lovers with some of our friends saying Shelby is “the most dog obsessed person I’ve ever met.” We will strive to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible while respecting any rules and boundaries you have in your own home. We absolutely love every kind of dog and would give your fur baby 5 star care ⭐️ We both work from home, so our schedules are very flexible. We take our dog out 3 times a day for potty breaks and several walks a day. We can really take your dog out whenever is needed, as one of us is always available. Our home is very, very dog proof. Our dog loves to eat everything so we’re very mindful of keeping things tidy. Especially with larger dogs, we put away our dogs smaller toys, so that there’s no possibility of them being ingested (there’s the labrador experience haha!) we will be around and loving your pet 24/7 while they’re in our care ❤️
“Eevee had a lovely stay with Nancy and her sweet pup Nala! We received daily updates about her day while we were away and she got plenty of exercise & love:) We were able to enjoy our trip worry free and came back to a happy pup. Thank you for taking good care of our sweet girl! ❤️”
“Jesse is phenomenal! Josie is 3.5 and we have never left her with a sitter (fortunate that family is nearby). So, needless to say, we were a little anxious about leaving Josie with someone she had not met before. But did Jesse calm our fears! The first thing Jesse did was suggest an in person meet & greet before booking. That already made us feel much more at ease. And then Josie immediately ran up to him and loved him! As far as the stay: Jesse has been so communicative, constantly sending photos and updates before we even get a chance to ask :) We feel so lucky we found Jesse!”
“Betty was so communicative and sent us plenty of pictures of all the fun Daisy was having. Daisy went on walks and got play time with doggy friends multiple times a day. Not sure Daisy wanted to go home after her super fun weekend with Betty! Betty clearly really cares about pets and makes sure they are well cared for.”
“Victoria was wonderful. Took amazing care of my dog Charlie, and even accommodated me when I set the wrong end time for the booking! Highly recommend.”
“Megan was such a thoughtful and communicative dog sitter. She sent updates and lots of photos of Prisma. We felt happy knowing our dog was in such safe and loving hands. Would recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup. ❤️🙏”
“Brianna (Baiyu) took wonderful care of my pup, Muffin! She was highly communicative and kind. Most importantly, my pup was happy and content when she came back to me.”
