“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!”
“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!!”
“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. ”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was incredibly thorough and went out of her way to ensure both our dog and us were comfortable with her, her family, and pets. We got plenty of photos and videos while we were away which is great for peace of mind and knowing he was having fun. Best of all, our pup seemed sad to leave Cynthia and her family which spoke volumes to us about the care she provided while we were gone!”
“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!!!”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“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!”
“Christine and Mark are PHENOMENAL!! Our dog got so much love and attention, and he also had a nice backyard to run and play around in. It was our first time boarding our dog, and we felt a bit guilty leaving him. However, after we saw the pictures and videos of him at Christine and Mark’s, we realized our dog was having the TIME OF HIS LIFE!! Thank you, Christine and Mark!!!”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Sarah and Andrew enough! They took absolutely amazing care of our dog Remi. They were so intentional and caring, taking him on walks and sending us regular picture updates. Remi also got to play with their adorable dog Goji and their lovely kiddos. He had a blast and felt right at home in their cozy house. Overall, they went above and beyond, and I’d give them a ten out of ten! We’d definitely trust them with Remi again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lola had another wonderful stay with Mark. She loves Maddie and Tobi and I love getting pictures of the 3 of them enjoying each others' company on walks in a park. Thanks Mark!”
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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.”

“Rachel completed 2 drop in visits for us for EZ, our cat while we were out of town. She came over before the visits to meet EZ and get the lay of the land. Her communication was great and followed all of our instructions and needs. We really appreciated all of the pictures and thorough updates. We would definitely trust her to take care of our baby again!”

“I’ve booked Cameron for cat sitting 3 times now, and this was our first time also including house sitting because we were gone for longer. She does an amazing job with our cat and sends a bunch of pictures every day. It really helps us feel fully relaxed when we’re on vacation, knowing that our little guy is totally taken care of!”
“Kendra is fantastic! Super communicative and loves what she does. We have three cats that are very shy. This second sit they really warmed up to Kendra - coming out to sniff, accepting some pets and treats, and even rolling over to show some belly. Kendra is great with cats and was just as excited as I was that mine were actually socializing haha 🤣 highly recommend her for your sits, I know that we will continue to use her”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and I currently have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I’ve also helped pet sit my parents’ cats and dogs over the years when they’ve been away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and just hanging out with pets and keeping them company. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’d treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat mine and always send plenty of pictures and updates! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week! I’m available Monday through Friday and can usually work around your pet’s normal routine and preferred visit times. I’ll always follow whatever routine and instructions you leave for me and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I’m careful about doors, feeding, walks, litter boxes, and anything else they need, and I’m happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away.
“Kaelee was amazing! She took excellent care of my boy while I was away. I feel so good knowing he was getting such great care. I will definitely have her back again.”
About: I’m a reliable and gentle cat sitter who takes the time to understand each cat’s personality, habits, and needs. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or a senior, I’m comfortable adapting to their routine and giving them the attention they’re most comfortable with. I’m happy to handle feeding, playtime, litter care, and medications while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I’ll also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured that your cat is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
“Rachel took great care of my cat and my apartment while I was away! She was very communicative, sending timely updates and great photos. My cat took to her immediately and I was so happy to know she was in great hands. I would definitely hire Rachel again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my pets since I could remember. I love spending my time with them and will do anything for them. I love taking care of them and giving them the world. I would spend most of my time cuddling with my cats. As well playing outside with my dog and going going on walks/ runs with her. I will look after them and give them all the attention and love they can receive. I would feed clean and walk them as well
“Nessa was SO communicative and responsible. Hands-down the best sitter I’ve ever had for my three kitties. They can be a handful, but she befriended them and it comforted me so much that they were receiving love and care while we were gone. Thank you Nessa, I hope you can be my forever catsitter!!”
About: I’ve helped my neighbor when she was sick walk her dog. His name is buddy he’s in my profile picture! I’ve dog sat a few times when I was younger also helping my neighbors out and I’ve had a few small pets. Including a gold fish, hamster and a gecko. I love animals and I am a college student graduating soon needing to save. This is the perfect fit for me. I am currently working a part time job. However my availability is always free in the mornings and on certain days I am free the whole day. It’s summer time for me so I have a lot of free time. I will make sure the pets are fed, walked, and clean. They are cared for and loved while making sure they are super safe always.
“YueXin is a caring, attentive, and loving cat sitter. Zinny enjoyed her time with YueXin and made friends with Meatball too! I received regular updates and photos, both when Zinny was adjusting to her new environment at the beginning of the trip and when she was well adjusted and thriving toward the middle/end of my trip. I would definitely trust her to take care of Zinny again for my future travels.”

“I met Sheena for a meet n greet and must say that, unlike other Rover employees I have encountered, I was impressed with the time and interest she took in getting to know my dog. After meeting her, I felt extremely comfortable having her watch him and booked daycare. I just picked up my dog from "daycare" with her and he looked pretty happy. Sheena was communicative regarding questions that arose during his stay with her. She took 2 very cute pictures of him to add to my collection. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking Sheena again for daycare and boarding.”
“Stephanie was reliable and communicative, providing regular updates and photos. Our Poppy had a wonderful time and was so well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Gordon and his family took really good care of my Oliver. It was his first time visiting the family and he was there for four hours and seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. I’m looking forward to the next visit.”
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Renee and Christopher are wonderful. My senior dog loves going to stay with them. They are loving and kind and accommodating to my dog’s eating needs. It is such a relief to know our dog Jeffrey is in good hands when we are away. They provide me with photos and anecdotes throughout the day.”
“Another great experience with Jayern...this time for doggy-daycare (please see my earlier in-depth review on Feb. 9, 2019 for dog-boarding)! She is great with my little Hachi and understands ways to help him with his awkward socializing skills. She's super detailed in her report of Hachi's day with her and is super organized! She genuinely cares about each dog in her care and really does take the time to understand each one's needs, temperament, and behavior individually and in a group setting. Jayern is now my go-to sitter for my furbaby and highly recommend her to others!!!”
“Irene loves dogs so much and is so attentive to dogs’ needs! She is so patient with dogs like mine that can be a little needy or a bit troublesome at times. She’s a great choice for watching all kinds of dogs but especially ones that need just a little bit more attention.”
About: We’re Alvin & Ashley, devoted dog parents and partners in life and pet care. We have 25+ years of combined experience. Growing up with dogs and caring for friends’ pups sparked our passion for small‑dog care. Since then we’ve raised our own Cavapoo, Sterling, from puppyhood into adulthood and have hosted dozens of small breeds through Rover. Our experience spans puppies, seniors, anxious rescues and pups with special dietary needs. We are comfortable administering oral medication, supporting post‑surgical dogs and accommodating senior quirks like limited mobility or hearing loss. Your pet receives loving, family-style care, not just a boarding spot. As a husband‑and‑wife team working from home, we devote our days to keeping tiny tails wagging. From morning potty breaks to bedtime cuddles, one of us is always there. If Alvin steps out for an errand, Ashley is here with your pup. If Ashley is busy, Alvin has it covered. We share all care duties, follow your feeding and medication instructions to the letter, and welcome written schedules. Your dog’s safety and comfort are non‑negotiable. We live in a quiet, dog‑friendly housing complex with two on‑site playgrounds designed for small breeds. We also cap groups at one to two small dogs, meaning your pup never has to compete with large breeds. Our home features puppy gates, soft beds, a small metal crate available if needed and multiple living areas so pups can be separated or have private nap time. We’re a non‑smoking household with no children. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to. You’re welcome to bring your dog’s own crate or bedding to help them feel at home. We also provide daily photo and video updates throughout each stay, keeping you connected to your pup’s adventures.
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.

“Kami was very professional. Took care of my 2 frenchies like a pro ( not easy to do ) and didn't mind when I came 1 hour later than what time was agreed on. I would definitely use her next time I'm in town”
About: Hello, fellow fur-parent! We are a family with 2 kids and our own furbaby. We understand firsthand how hard it is to find a trusted, loving home for your dog when you’re traveling, so we want to be an option for fur-parents like ourselves. Your pup will be in good hands while you are away! We are located in Ingleside Terraces, with a nice fenced in yard with turf, and are a block away from a large grassy neighborhood park. We work from home, so we can give your pup the 1:1 attention they deserve (as well as frequent potty breaks, walks, etc). The main floor of the house is pretty large and gets lots of sun. We prefer hosting low-shedding dogs <25 lbs who are well-behaved and used to children (and of course we will always be vigilant parents). Our kids are very good with dogs and do not antagonize or pull ears/tails. We can have a short meet-n-greet for new clients at our neighborhood park to ensure we are a good fit for your pup! We work from home, so are always around for scratches and cuddles. We take our dog out on daily walks or for ball-time at a nearby grassy park. Let us know your pup's schedule and we are happy to accommodate. I send frequent (multiple-times a day) photos so you have peace of mind. We have a 4yo spayed goldendoodle (25 lbs) who is very friendly and gentle with our young children. We have pet/baby-gates in place in case we ever need to separate the dogs. We keep a tidy home and do not feed our children foods that are toxic to dogs. We have a fenced-in yard with turf. We would treat your pup like ours, but happy to follow any specific rules/routine you would like us to.
“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: We have owned dogs most of our life and currently have a young Boxer/Doberman mix named Ruby. Training, exercise, and structure are a big part of our daily routine, so we are comfortable with energetic dogs, puppies, and reinforcing good habits. We pay attention to the details and treat every dog like they're my own. Pet care is already built into our day. My dog gets regular walks, playtime, and training sessions, so caring for another dog fits naturally into my routine. My wife, Miu and I work from home can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. In our house we have fenced yard and have a lots of space for playing inside too. We only host one dog at a time so we can give your dog plenty of attention, and care. We try to keep things as close to your dog's normal routine as possible. We will follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and sleeping arrangements, and we will send updates so you know how things are going. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and make your time away stress-free.
“Karen and Jeff were great! They were very welcoming of Macey even though she's still a puppy. They seem to keep Macey active and engaged with walks and playtime. Their own dog seemed to accept Macey as the day went on. Macey napped and ate well there. They kept me informed with photos and notes. Macey and I both felt comfortable with Karen and Jeff.”

“Ronnie was great with walking my shy chihuahua mix during a busy week I had. She was very responsive, easy to work with, and was understanding of my dog’s quirks. Recommend and would book again!”
“Sabina has been an absolute blessing! Boris (my dog) loves Sabina and even knows she's arrived to pick him up before we did! And when they are done with the walk, he is tired. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will update me of the status of the walk which is always comforting. She truly is a compassionate human being and I have never been more satisfied w/ any other dog walker I have used before. I don’t know what we would do without her!”

About: Reliable • Loving • Experienced Pet Care 🐾 Lifelong dog care experience, caring for cats since 2021, and animal sanctuary experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies from 2022–2026. Your pets are family! 💛 Your furry friend is my priority. I’m available every day from 6 AM to 10 PM, giving your pet plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and supervision, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family’s had three, and I was hands-on with all of them — from raising a litter of puppies to caring for our senior dog through the end of her life. That range taught me a lot about reading a dog’s needs, whether they’re bouncy and young or older and need a gentler pace. I’m currently at college, and I’m missing my Lab-Pyrenees mix at home, so walking and spending time with dogs here is something I’m really looking forward to. I’m reliable, I show up on time, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a pre-med college student at the University of San Francisco, so my schedule is flexible and works well for regular walks. I’m most available on weekday mornings before 9, afternoons, and evenings between classes, plus weekends and holidays. I can do daily walks, drop-ins, or a set weekly routine — whatever fits your dog best. Safety is the most important thing to me when walking your dog. I keep dogs leashed the whole time, stick to routes I know well, and always bring water and waste bags. I pay close attention to their body language — heat, tiredness, or nervousness around other dogs — and adjust the pace to match their age and energy. I’m really experienced walking dogs of all ages and personalities; at home, walking our dogs was always my job, and I worked around my neighborhood doing it for neighbor’s pets as well. I know the importance of consistency and ensuring the experience is enjoyable and comfortable for your pet, so I’ll follow whatever routine and commands they’re used to at home.
About: I’ve helped my neighbor when she was sick walk her dog. His name is buddy he’s in my profile picture!

I love animals and I am a college student graduating soon needing to save. This is the perfect fit for me. I am currently working a part time job. However my availability is always free in the mornings and on certain days I am free the whole day. It’s summer time for me so I have a lot of free time. I will make sure the pets are fed, walked, and clean. They are cared for and loved while making sure they are super safe always.
“Hannah is super nice. Very punctual and patient with my dog. It's always so nice meeting someone who is genuine and doesn't mind a stubborn pup every now and then!!”
“Jennifer was punctual, professional and communicative. She was very helpful in the immediate post-operative procedure after Yasmín’s spaying, which required a lot of attention to detail and careful monitoring. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help caring for their pet(s).”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them! I started at 7 years old with bunnies, and since then I’ve had experience with all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, strays, and even some farm animals. So I’m really comfortable with different personalities and care needs. I’ve done a bit of pet sitting, from quick check-ins to stays that last a few weeks, and I quickly adapt to your pet’s normal routine so they always feel safe and relaxed. I’m great with senior pets too and understand they might need a little extra care, slower walks, or more attention. (As I have my own senior pup!) I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well taken care of. Nothing feels better than bringing an animal immense happiness and relaxation! I am currently working part-time, usually in the early mornings, so I am pretty available in the afternoon every weekday! I am also a full-time student, but most of my classes are online, which helps my schedule stay open and flexible. I am currently not available to have any furbabies in my own living space. :( But I have no trouble whatsoever with any other service!

About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old, including family pets as well as the pets of friends and neighbors. I’m friendly, responsible, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m excited to provide loving and reliable care for your pets! I’m currently a student at SFSU, and my only in-person classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because I have a pretty open schedule for the rest of the week, I have plenty of time to care for pets! I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’d love to use my free time to spend it with animals and give them the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m respectful of the client’s home and always keep things clean and tidy. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs, and I’ll communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to make both the pet and their owner feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.

“Cynthia was wonderful! She was incredibly thorough and went out of her way to ensure both our dog and us were comfortable with her, her family, and pets. We got plenty of photos and videos while we were away which is great for peace of mind and knowing he was having fun. Best of all, our pup seemed sad to leave Cynthia and her family which spoke volumes to us about the care she provided while we were gone!”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“Mimi was such a wonderful sitter! She was very diligent and thorough in following Rufus’ care info and sent us so many fun updates regarding how he was doing. Rufus had so much fun with Mimi and as a dog parent, you couldn’t ask for more from a sitter. I’d definitely recommend Mimi to anyone looking to board their dog ❤️❤️❤️”
“Kami was a wonderful dog sitter, she provided lots of great updates and took my dog Genesis for lots of walks & to the park! I am very happy with my dog's stay and will book 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!”
“Meg was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and messages throughout our trip that Val was happy and safe. As first time users, we will definitely be calling on her more often. I have no doubt Val can’t wait for her next stay.”
“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.”
“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!”

About: Hello, I’m Emily! I recently moved to San Francisco after getting married in June. My husband got a job here, so we made the move from Wisconsin and are excited to start this new chapter! I’ve always been a huge dog lover and love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have my own dog, Finn, a chocolate Lab, at home, so I know how much our dogs mean to us. I’d love the opportunity to take your dog on walks, give them some extra love and attention, and make sure they have a fun and happy time while you’re away. I’d be so excited to get to know your pup and treat them like my own! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your dog! I’d love the opportunity to help with dog walking and am happy to work around a time that’s convenient for you! When it comes to dog walking, your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure to walk in safe, dog-friendly areas, use the proper equipment, and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and behavior throughout the walk. I’ll also be mindful of weather conditions, traffic, other dogs and people, and anything else that could potentially make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ll follow any specific instructions or routines you provide and make sure your dog is secure before, during, and after every walk. With my own dog, Finn, his wellness and safety are always my number-one priority, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every dog I have the opportunity to look after. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for!
“Sheena hosted my dog Ziggy for 5 days. Sheena is caring and loving dog sitter. Ziggy came back home in a lovely and chill mood. I was lucky to obtain Sheena's services, and I strongly recommend her.”
