“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!!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“Vanda has watched Bridger multiple times now and every time she takes such good care of him! He always comes back happy and tired, exactly what you want as a dog parent!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Leaving your dog with someone can always be stressful, but once I met Allison and her husband, Gordon, I was instantly at ease. You can tell that they truly care about your pet. Not only do they care about your pet, but their well behaved dog, Moses, will care about your pet too! He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. I own a larger dog and their yard and house allows plenty of space for your bigger dog to run around and relax. Also the line of communication with them went above and beyond. Another great attribute that will help put you at ease while you enjoy your vacation. Each day I had several uploaded pictures to look at, and seeing his happy face allowed me to continue my trip worry free. I wouldn't hesitate to book my dog with them again. ”
“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.”

Cat caregivers near you - Inner Sunset
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Having a pet is more than the basics. When I take care of any animal, I treat them with the same respect I would have for a person. I respect their boundaries and will go the extra mile to make sure they are well cared for. I am comfortable administering medication, cleaning litter boxes and disposing of the litter, feeding based on your instructions, and also giving the love and attention your baby requires. I would treat your baby as if they were my own. I am also reliable and communicative.
“Brunella was amazing! She went above and beyond for our two cats, playing with them constantly, sending beautiful pictures, and cleaning up a bathroom accident. Would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Lin Jia was so easy to work with, flexible with some mishaps on my part even though I was across the ocean, and so sweet to our shy foster kitties - they warmed up to her faster than anyone!”
“Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!”
About: I’ve always loved cats! I’ve babysat a friend’s cat for an entire month and have experience administering liquid medicine. I’m super tidy and will make sure all their food areas and litter boxes stay clean! I have my own kitten, Kona, who I very much spoil. :-)
About: Growing up with dogs, birds, and cats I have experience caring for a variety of animals across different species. When it comes to cat sitting, I've done it all, from playtime and mealtime to vet visits and cuddles and attention. I've particularly been called a cat whisperer by many a people.
“Miriam was fantastic! She took the time to listen and learn all about the needs of our cats and their prescription diets/special feeding requirements; she was communicative, flexible, and understanding. She was able to provide not just basic care but also enrichment and quality time at each visit. Would highly recommend!”
“Nebula is a special cat and can be finicky, so it was wonderful that Mikele took such great care of her! I felt totally comfortable and confident with Mikele taking care of my family! Thank you!”
“Dana was very reliable and great with my cat Livy while I was out for almost 2 weeks. She was patient with a shy cat, by the end of the visits Livy was very comfortable and loved playing with Dana. Dana was great at following some impromptu specific requests I had too! I appreciated her flexibility, responsiveness, and detailed updates with photos. Definitely recommend.”
“I always know that when Elle is staying, everything is going to be taken care of. She understands the personality differences between our cats and has earned their trust. I know I didn't have to worry and can enjoy my trip. 10/10 - would recommend!”
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!!”
About: Since I was 9 I have had cats in my life. From the loving ones who to sit and be pet to the ones who are mischievous and overly clever, I have experienced most of the likes of cats. As for personalities, I can take care of the overly anxious, shy ones to the super social ones. So if you need a couch potato for your pet, or a patient cat watcher, I can be your sitter!
“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!”
“Great sitter for pets with meds! My cat needs medicine twice a day (syringe by mouth) and Sathiya was great about helping with handling him and his meds even though he's slower to warm up to strangers. Came back home to a healthy, happy cat and a well taken care of apartment after getting lots of pictures and updates while I was gone :)”
About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.

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
“We are so happy we found Deb and Nicholas! Our dog came home so calm and happy. They sent lots of pictures and updates. We can’t wait to see them again”
“Sam did a fantastic job caring for our 7 month old puppy! She clearly knows a lot about how to work with dogs and puppies. She was extremely communicative and sent us several photos and videos. Thank you, Sam!”
About: It is never easy leaving your pup in the care of others while away. I’ve been there many times with my own dogs. I strive to provide the best care I can to put my doggie guest and their human at ease. The key to a positive experience is to know my guest's daily routine and their needs well. For 7+ years, I opened my heart and home to foster dogs of various age, size, and breed. I learned lot of about caring for dogs and dog behavior. Dogs are a huge part of my life. Currently, I am not fostering dogs, and my own dogs have all passed. I work from home with flexible hours, so your pup will enjoy a lot of attention. Your pup's days will be filled with customized exercise, playtime, and attention to their dietary routines. With my knowledge in dog behavior and positive reinforcement, your pup will always feel safe, understood, and supported! I integrate pet care into my daily schedule with: *Constant companionship: I work from home with flexible hours, your pet is never left waiting for attention. *Basics: appropriate treats and regularly refreshed water bowls, and a flood of affection. *Tailored Fitness: guaranteed minimum of 2 daily walks, adjusted to your dog's needs (from long, athletic trail walks to short, gentle potty breaks). *Routine preservation: I honor your dog's specific home schedule to prevent any stress or disruption while you are away. I have a fence in yard. My doggie guests can use the doggie door anytime to access the yard. They can roam free in the house. I have several dog beds in the house and they can lounge in the sun in the spot of their choosing. I am very conscientious about not leaving food or trash out to keep my guests safe. Overall, life in the house is peaceful with many fun outings to engage them physically and mentally. I follow clients' specific instructions and routines to keep my guests comfortable and safe in my care. Their safety and well-being is my top priority.
“Mikele did a great job with my senior dog Sandy. She was kind, communicative, and took lots of pictures. This was my dog’s first time doing doggy daycare. Mikele provided wonderful care and answered all of my questions.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Indy always loves her time with Robert & Marty! She pulls me to take her in with a non-stop wiggly tail! She always comes home tired and happy. Definitely her favorite place away from home. They absolutely know how to make a pup feel loved and cared for!”
About: 🏡 Home with grassy backyard walking distance to Mt. Davidson 👩🏻💻 Fully remote and hybrid schedules means your dog would rarely be alone! 🐶 Up to 2 dogs at a time (please don’t hesitate to reach out if you prefer your dog to be boarded alone - we are more than willing to accommodate this) Hi PAWSOME dog parents!! I grew up with my family’s 2 cats and 1 dog, and my husband and I have done cat sitting and dog boarding for several family friends. We are now hoping to expand that to more of you! I (Christine) currently work full time as a data scientist and my husband (Mark) is a software engineer and is fully remote. We have 2 young children who love interacting with dogs! We love spending our free time playing, taking pictures of, and hanging out with the pets we pet sit! I work on a hybrid schedule, going into the office 3 days a week and working from home the other 2 days. Mark works from home every day! If one of us isn’t home, the other is usually at home, so your dog would rarely be alone! We live in a single family home with a large grassy backyard in a quiet neighborhood. The dogs we have boarded love to run around, lay in the sun, and take regular potty breaks in our backyard! We love to walk and run around our neighborhood, frequently visiting Mt. Davidson, Twin Peaks, and Lake Merced! We love it even more when we get to bring dogs with us! NOTE 1: your dog must be crate trained. They may sleep in their crate at night in case of emergencies or at the owner’s request, but we normally allow dogs to sleep with us on the bed! NOTE 2: my parents come over with their 16 year old maltipoo (10 lbs) approximately 3 times a month, so your dog must be okay with other dogs and may meet my parents dog. NOTE 3: We currently board up to 2 dogs at the same time (if my parents’ dog is here, there may be 3 dogs max). If you prefer to have us board only your dog during the time you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we may be able to accommodate your dog. NOTE 4: we prefer small dogs, but can make exceptions for medium dogs (up to 30 lbs) on a case by case basis, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE 5: We don’t accept pee pad trained dogs. Your dog must be house trained. We have a fenced backyard and can let your dog out frequently for potty breaks. NOTE 6: Your dog must be good with young children and have had previous experience with or currently live with young children.

About: Hi! I’m May. I’m a responsible resident doctor who loves dogs! I just moved back to the Bay Area from NC. I had a dog for nearly 15 years and miss having a furry friend around. Have also been a go-to cat sitter for multiple friends! I am very communicative and make sure to give at least daily updates while sitting. I’m a busy resident, but would love to take care of your dog on the weekends I’m free. 😊 I usually am working every other weekend, so I would not be the best fit for recurring visits. No pets, children, or other people will be at my home. Will take your dog on a nice long walk!! and they will probably be fawned over by my friends for extra attention
“Dave is wonderful with our high energy poochie girl! He is reliable, friendly, and provides great photos and reports on her walks! We feel so lucky to have found him!”

“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!”
“Syd is the best! She walked my senior dog (age 12) and her younger sister (age 2) while we were on vacation. The younger one is a slow burn getting to know new people and so I was definitely worried that she wouldn't go out with this new friend. But! Syd persevered through the week and even attempted a rainy day walk! The girls said, NO. But she was back again the following day and by the end of the week, the girls were really happy to walk with her! We'll definitely be calling on Syd again to care for our two girls. She's a great communicator and really a solid animal person.”
About: Since I was 10 I have had dogs in my life. From the loving ones who to sit and be pet to the ones who are busy busy busy and need a job, I have experienced most of the likes of pets. As for personalities, I can take care of the overly anxious ones to the super social ones. So if you need a couch potato for your pet, or a marathon runner, I can be your sitter! I love them all! I work out regularly (2-3 hrs) either at the gym or running outside so that can be extra convenient if your pet is active as well! I am also doing school part time (1-3 hrs). Other than that, the rest of my day is open! I live in a duplex with no other animals. Lots of open space for them to roam around. Also very close to Golden Gate park for longer excursions.
About: I have grown up around dogs and now have one of my own. I know that no two dogs are the same and having a reactive dog myself, I am very well-aware of dog behavior and body language. I have been called "my dog's favorite person" by several friends. I am excited to get to know your dog and meet their needs whether it's sniffing, playing, or a long brisk walk! I live and work in San Francisco and have some flexibility with my work schedule. I am happy to work with you to make my schedule work for you and your pup. I have a fenced in yard near Golden Gate Park (our second backyard) and a playful dog of my own. I am sure to never be away from the house for too long and can set up your dog in a crate, let them roam free, or give them access to certain spaces in the house using gates.
About: I am a certified dog trainer specializing in puppies, obedience, confidence building and positive reinforcement training.

I believe in setting dogs up for success, so let me help you take care of your pup. I work from home and I have an open and flexible schedule to suit all needs. My daily routine consists of caring for my personal dog, Phoenix, who needs to be worked multiple times a day as he is a Malinois. I am no stranger to the care and needs of dogs, my life basically revolves around them. I care for and train my own dog daily and he loves to work and having friends. I frequent the park daily and also have a large fenced backyard. In a clients home I respect their space and their needs depending on what they request for their pet(s).

About: Hi, I’m Taty! I’m an artist in my thirties with a natural connection to animals, rooted in my childhood on the island of Guam. Raised in Arizona, I’ve always been deeply empathetic and intuitive with pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, abilities, and breeds—as well as my own pets, including my cat Latte—and have also looked after friends’ and clients’ animals, including a bearded dragon! I’m a transparent communicator, attentive to detail, and always happy to follow special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I live just a block away from the Golden Gate Park—perfect for walks and outdoor time. I have a fenced backyard with plants and a garden for the dogs that need an isolated walk away from the city noise. I am home full time and self employed. This means, I have availability to care for your fur babies! Let’s connect and see what makes sense for our schedules. My rate includes an extra 30 minutes of specialized care and one-on-one attention during walks or drop ins. I treat each pup like family — with personalized routines, enrichment, and snuggles.
About: For me, dog walking and sitting isn't just a job—it's a passion. There's something truly special about spending time with these amazing animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and building bonds that last a lifetime. Whether it's exploring new trails during walks or cozying up together for some quality snuggle time, every moment with a furry friend brings me pure happiness. So, if you're looking for someone who's not only experienced but also genuinely loves what they do, you've come to the right place. Let's make some unforgettable memories together! I’m also a photographer, so you’re guaranteed lots of excellent photos of your little one. (Or big) 😉 I’m a film street photographer by trade and walk a lot! I love going on hikes with dogs, and or around neighborhoods in the city. Photographs are my specialty! I love leaving you with a tangible memory of your little loves. "Hi there! I'm Noel, your friendly neighborhood dog walker and house sitter. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for your furry companions are my top priorities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, treating them like the little friends they are. Whether we're taking leisurely walks, enjoying a day at the beach (if permitted), or simply hanging out at home, you can trust that your pet is in loving hands. With experience in overnight stays, I ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your beloved pet. Let's create wonderful memories together!"

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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!”
“Our pups were treated like Lil princes, they even got to sleep in her bed. Jill sent me daily pics and videos, and she took them to different parks in the area. When our flight was delayed, she accommodated our last minute change of plans. I love the individualized care she provided. Will definitely take the pups to her from here on out.”
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.
“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.”
“Jennifer was lovely and great with Theo. He seemed to have a blast going to Fort Funston and playing with her dogs in her backyard. She sent me updates while I was away and when I picked up Theo, he was tired and happy. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Honey had a wonderful time in their care! I received daily pictures and video so her playing and being silly. I felt relaxed knowing she was in a safe space. We met a week before the booking to ensure it was a good match, which made me feel more at ease. She was excellently taken care of and I would book them again! Highly recommend.”
“Nancy took great care of our Marty boy! Kept us informed with messages and photos throughout his stay, thank you so much Nancy! One of the best Rover experiences we’ve had!”
“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!”
“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 ☺️”
“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!”
“Anurag and his family took great care of Zorro! They were very attuned to his needs and his love for catching his ball. He send pics and videos which made me happy. I highly recommend Anurag and his family!”
“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!”
