“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Bee was an absolute lifesaver. We had a sudden family emergency and had to leave the country for two weeks. We needed someone to care for Presley at the last minute, and it was our first time ever leaving him, so we were understandably nervous. When we picked him up, we could tell he had been well cared for. Presley came home excited and healthy, which gave us so much comfort during such a difficult time. Her rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind—especially with our last-minute dog sitting needs. We highly recommend Bee. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“Nathan took great care of Primo. Communication was easy from start to finish, and he sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Primo came home relaxed and happy, and it was clear he had been well looked after. We’d definitely book with Nathan again. Thanks!”
“Anne is wonderful!! Our dog, Harry has stayed with Anne several times. Anne takes Harry on long walks a few times a day. She always sends updates with photos. We always feel comfortable leaving our baby with Anne. She makes him feel like family!”
“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.”
“As always, Gabrielle and Paddy take loving care of our precious’s Micco. We received daily updates and pictures, even a video of our curious boy checking out a box. I highly recommend Gabrielle and Paddy as sitters/boarders.”
“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.”
“Lynn is amazing and very professional! She took great care of Leo and it was great to see Leo socializing with other dogs. Leo fell sick and Lynn took him to hospital as soon as she thought it was necessary. We felt at ease knowing the way she looked after Leo. Highly recommend Lynn!”
“Shelley was a wonderful host for our pup, Pepper. It was our first time leaving Pepper with a sitter and he had a great time. Shelley was attentive and accommodating of all his needs (we’re still working on leash walks and some reactivity). Shelley sent lots of updates and photos/videos of the fun adventures they had together. Additionally, Shelley was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure Pepper was comfortable. She also arranged playdates with her friend’s corgi who was a perfect playmate for Pepper. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Shelley, and Pepper came back happy and relaxed.”
“Sally did a great job. She was really communicative. You can tell she loves dogs. She asked many questions ahead of time to ensure that she could provide a good experience for my dog which made me feel like she was well prepared. Her dog Cosmo is very sweet and got along well with my dog”
“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 ☺️”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Maide was lovely to our two cats, they both loved her. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated, she was very flexible with key dropoff/pickup, would definitely book with her again!”
About: My grandmother’s cat, Pearl, won me over a few years ago! I only have experience with the basics like feeding and litter box maintenance. I’ve been the friend to come help with a cat while owners are out of town—In a pinch if you need someone, let me know!
“Halle takes care of my cat Mocha. She is always very responsive and accommodating. I highly appreciate she shares with me by text her observations when she comes over on my cats health I could be worried about + shares how her visit went :) I therefore highly recommend her.”
“Rosalie is the BEST CAT SITTER EVER. Thoughtful, safe, and can deal with difficult cat issues. She is a great communicator and takes the cutest cat pics.”
“Marie is the best. Always looks out for my cat while I’m away. Get great updates and pictures. Goes the extra mile by playing, putting on cat tv, and cleaning his space.”
About: Hello ! Although I am new to Rover, I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and have always had a natural connection with them. When they're in my care I treat them as if they are my own babies. In recent years I have often taken care of my sister's dog Juniper. We have a special bond and she's taught me so much about being a dog aunt :) I helped train her as a puppy and watching her grow up has been a source of so much joy in my life. Many people have observed my warm way with animals especially cats and dogs. I am very attentive, affectionate and protective with them. With that said I also know how to read them and respect their space/needs. I am currently finishing up my degree this Fall semester and have class once a week. I am flexible most of the week including weekends. I am available to dog or cat sit. If your dog or cat has special needs I am able to provide basic support and care. I am also available for dog walking services as well.
“Sami is da best! We’ve worked with a handful of sitters on Rover and she feels like a rare find. She’s very communicative about cat goings on and goes above and beyond to keep the house tidy (even with our cats actively working against her). We love her and so do the cats, even the one that hides from her 😸”
About: I have loved visiting and playing with my friends cats, which is what inspired me to start doing drop in cat visits on Rover. While I am new, I am a careful and responsible individual who has lots of love to give to your cat! I’m happy to help with feeding your cat, playing with your cat, and cleaning out litter box during my drop in visit.
“Kyra was incredibly easy to work with and followed directions perfectly. Even though I didn’t get a chance to meet her beforehand, everything went smoothly, and she did an amazing job with Otis. I’d absolutely have her sit for him again.”
“Celine was so amazing! It is always nerve wracking leaving your pet with someone else, but she kept in touch and sent lots of photos! Beans took an instant liking to her and I had no doubt that my pet was safe and happy. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Alex took wonderful care of my cat Maya, I knew she was well taken care of in my absence. My cat was happy as evident from the great pictures Alex took on her visits. She even took care of my plants!”
“Janessa was an incredible pet-sitter! Her notes were so thorough and she always took lots of pictures, both of my cat and of the full food bowls, clean litter box, etc. She even was kind of enough to sweep up extra litter and found a new toy that my cat loves. I really can’t recommend her enough, and I’ll definitely be rebooking the next time I need a sitter.”
“I couldn’t ask for a more caring, responsible person to care for our three cats while we were away. She provided for their diverse feeding requirements, got to be friends and played with them every visit, reported on what she and the cats did, and sent us photos after each visit. An outstanding person. You can unreservedly trust your cats with her.”
“Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.”

“Daniella was fantastic!!! She was very communicative, sent regular updates on our pup (including pics) and was flexible with timing. She even picked him up and dropped him off at our location. She paid great attention to our pup’s needs (he’s a Frenchie who can’t handle long walks or long exposure to heat) and he came back to us healthy and happy. I would highly recommend and use her again!”
“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!”
“Kelvin is VERY affectionate and caring towards all the pups he takes care of! My dog loves going to Kelvins and whines when it's time to leave ("grandparents syndrome"!!) He takes several pics, spend alot of time at the parks and walking the dogs. I highly recommend Kelvin to anyone needing either long-term or short-term care.”
“Celia was amazing!! I will be booking with her again for boarding and the occasional day sit. I newly adopted my boy, he is about 1 year old and is learning a lot and adjusting to his new life - all which Celia was more than understanding! She provided many photos and updates throughout the day which made me feel so at ease. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

About: I grew up with my parents Bichons and loved caring for them. I am currently a dog father to a 6 year old golden retriever Penny who is full of energy and love to give. Penny & I love making new dog friends too. My girlfriend Mel and I are in between jobs at the moment and have lots of time during the day to hang out with your dog!! We love going on adventures around San Francisco with our dog Penny. Most mornings and mid weekdays are the best for us. I have a crate if needed for your dog but otherwise they will be very well looked after in our home, mainly playing at the park or going on adventures if they’re up for it.
About: I’ve had small dogs since I was little, but I rescued my soul dog, Leica, from Muttville in 2017. Over the years, I administered lots of cheese pills and brushed the few teeth he had. We went on lots of adventures from the office to the beach and mountains. Unfortunately his last 6 months were fraught with a neurological disorder. I believe it’s a honor to care for senior dogs and keep them comfortable as a small return of the love they given. While it was a honor, it was not easy and it gave me a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs. I love all dogs but the little old ones are extra special to me ❤️ Any dog or cat I care for, I will do so with 100% attention, love, respect for them and your home, and routines. Because I really do care so deeply about their health and safety, I will not be caring for more than one pet at a time. And of course as a long time Rover customer, I know clear communication and photos are essential. Looking forward to meeting you, your pet, and happy to answer any questions you have! Currently working remote so I can flex my day more or less to your dog’s walk and feed routine. Usually around 8:30, 12:30, and 5:30. We’ll relax or play in the evening depending on their temperament. I have no other pets and many options for areas of my apartment where they can be set up to feel at home. No backyard but very close to the park. Up three flights of stairs but happy to carry smaller dogs if that’s what they need. I also still have a dog stroller for less mobile friends! For their safety I won’t ever let them off leash.
“Gabrielle was able to take Bullet last minute. Super flexible with the drop off and pick up time. Bullet loved staying with Gabrielle and Patrick!”
About: I’ve grown up from a young age working with my mom at her own pet-sitting business, helping walk, feed, administer medicine, and provide love to every fur-baby. Additionally, I grew up with our “zoo” of pets at home, adopting dogs, taming & adopting stray cats, and taking in surrendered pets including guinea pigs, gerbils, turtles, and even a rooster! Now, I’ve recently moved to SF and looking to spend time with these precious animals again! I have recently moved to San Francisco from across the country, and I am available full-time for dog-walking! Feel free to message me about any time. I will follow your schedule as to when to feed, give water, treats, walks, clean litter boxes, etc. I will always walk your dog on-leash and make sure to send lots of photos and a description of how our time together was spent!
“Logan had a great time and he was taken for a nice walk In the Palace of fine arts I was a little late getting back from my concert but Brady was pretty cool about it I certainly would recommend”
“Alicia has been watching our dog weekly for us over the last month and we couldn’t be more thankful for her! Our dog gets so excited when we approach her place and I can tell Alicia takes the best care of her :)”
“Nala had an amazing time with Diana today! Diana was very communicative and sent lots of photos throughout the day. She was very attentive to Nala and asked a lot of questions leading up to the stay so she was well prepared to take care of Nala. They seemed to have so much fun together, and that’s all I could ask for ☺️ Highly recommend Diana!”
“Sally took great care of my anxious little dog, giving her long walks and plenty of personal space, as she is afraid of strangers. I’ll definitely book her the next time I need a sitter.”

About: I've loved dogs my entire life - in fact, my family dog, whom I had from age 1-16, will forever be the love of my life. Since then, I've been volunteering at shelters, fostering over 30 puppies, and helping take care of others fur babies. I know how much we love our pets, and I am so honored people have chosen to trust me to take care of them. It's not something I take lightly - I treat all dogs how I would treat my own: with tons of butt scratches, cuddles and by taking a million photos :) On a short sabbatical between jobs so spending a lot of time going for long walks/runs! When I WFH I love to spend part of my lunch time going for a long walk, and will have plenty of time to take potty breaks or some fun playtime! I try to do some outdoor activity everyday and would love to bring your pup along (assuming that's something they enjoy as well! I have spent a lot of time playing ball inside my apartment with my sisters dog who is a homebody) I am extremely cautious when I walk other people's dogs. I know other dogs can be unpredictable. I really prefer when dogs have a harness so that I don't put too much strain on their neck, and I don't use retractable leashes.

“Elise was fantastic! She walked our dog for 7 days when we were out of town, for 1 hour-long walks. Every day she made rover cards with photo updates, and commentary about our dog and their adventures on the walk! He looked very happy! Would use Elise again in a heartbeat!”

“Kyra is great! She is super punctual and does a great job making sure our pup has an opportunity to get out some energy on a walk when we can't take him out! We love having her help out with Gizmo! Thanks, Kyra!!”
About: Hi! Im Kaitlin! I’ve been a Pet Sitter for over 10 years now, and have hundreds of positive testimonials! If I get the chance to care for your pet, just know they will be in excellent hands! I will care for them as they were my own, giving them affection, all the attention they crave, & plenty of exercise and fun!. I’m athletic, so no worries about walking these SF hills! I have experience in dogs and cats of all ages; from bouncing babies to delicate seniors in their retirement. I am equipped to take care of whatever needs your pet may have! I’m looking forward to connecting with you further and meeting your sweet fur-babies!! Thanks for reading 😊 I’m currently working part-time; with a totally open schedule so I can take days off if needed for your fur-baby! I also live with my partner who works from home for an extra set of eyes! I can provide you with my personal phone number for emergencies, as well as sending periodic updates on how your baby is doing! I will never take your dog outside of the neighborhood unless you give me permission.
About: I have had a dog for the past 13 years and have years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. As a pet mom myself I understand how important it is to have the peace of mind that your fur baby is being loved on, paid attention to, and taken care of well. Whether it’s on a walk, a drop in visit, whatever you need your pet will be my first priority, your fur baby will be in good hands with me! I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accommodate drop in visits and walks through the week days as well as weekends. I’m here to accommodate your schedule as best as I can! Your pets safety is of the upmost importance to me. As a pet mom myself I understand these babies are your world and will always take care of keeping them safe whether that’s out on walks, returning to a crate back at home, taking precautions for pets who like to bolt, etc. they will be in good hands!
About: Hello! First of all, I have no pets of my own, and I don't book multiple clients—yours would be the only one (or ones, if you have more than one). I grew up with cats, usually four or more at a time (thanks, Mom!), so I've been around them my whole life. Recently I've been cat sitting for friends' cats at my place, and I figured I'd start doing the same on Rover until I get my own pair soon. I'm very comfortable with both cats and dogs, and they always get along with me. I'm a WFH software engineer, so I'm home and around throughout the day. I have a great place for cats to chill: big windows overlooking the street and park, with a perch and lots of light—great for people watching and dog spying, if they're into that sort of thing. There's a good spot for a litter box, and I'm prompt with feeding and fresh water. My place is cozy and quiet, with lots of light, good views, and a calm atmosphere that puts cats at ease. There are plenty of spots for a shy cat to hide and decompress until they're comfortable, and I never rush that process. It's a secure indoor space—no open windows or balconies to worry about—so I can keep a close eye on things and make sure your cat stays safe and relaxed the whole stay.
“zoe took the time to ask questions about my dog ollie when first meeting him, showing she really cared about getting to know him. she also sent pictures and updates after our walk and was very communicative!”
About: I have been with and around dogs for all of my life and take time to understand their unique needs and behavior. Whether its a slow walk around the neighborhood or snuggling on the couch, I make sure that each dog gets the most out of their short-time on Earth. I'm currently very open and have a flexible schedule to focus all my attention on your pups needs. Whether long walks or playtime I'm fully commited to giving your pet everything they need. I care for animals by making sure they get to lead interactions and respect their boundaries. Ensuring their routines and rules are followed helps bring a sense of normalcy.
About: I've had pets since I was an infant, and grew up on a farm so I’m comfortable with all sorts. I'm an animal lover in general. Big fan of taking dogs on long walks , I always enjoy meeting new dogs when I'm out hiking and such. I have experience dog sitting and dog walking, and having been doing both of those since ~2009 My home is a 1 bedroom apartment in the Marina so I can be available for hosting pets if desired , though probably limited to 2 maximum. Breeds I've interacted with extensively : Golden Retriever, Cavapoo, Beagle, Maltese, Pomeranian Poodle, Labrador Retriever, German Shepard, Pug, and Yorkshire Terrier I wfh full time -- so I'm fully available for dog walking and drop in visits etc. I have availability for multiple regulars and a handful of random booklngs. In my home your pets will be welcome on my furniture for a good cuddle. There's also plenty of good places around to go for a walk, or dog parks available to play at.
About: I grew up with dogs and love them. I have taken care of many neighbors/friends’ pets. I’d love to help with dog walking or pet sitting! I currently work 8-5pm in Downtown San Francisco Monday thru Thursday. I am available on weeknights and weekends for dog walking & sitting in the Marina District, Cow Hollow and Russian Hill. I love dogs and would be more than happy to care for your pet as you would! I don’t currently have a dog-friendly apartment, but would be open to caring for your pet in your home if needed!
About: I always help take care of my brother’s dog and just love spending time with pets in general. Am taking a career break for the time being so would love to fill my spare time dog sitting! My schedule is super flexible right now as im taking a break from work! Would love to fill my time helping care for other pets (usually a cat mom but my cat is temporarily away for the next few months so I’m totally flexible!) I live in an elevator building with a patio (but no grass). The apartment is ~700sqft with one bedroom. I live by myself! The apartment has already been cat proofed since I usually have a cat with me
About: I've been the resident dog sitter for friends and family for over 5 years and grew up in a household of pets (cats + dogs). I live across the street from Moscone park in the marina district which makes for a very convenient and happy place for your pup’s staycation. 🐾 🐾 I'm very flexible during the weekdays as I'm not burdened by a 9-5. I can easily take dogs across the street to the park throughout the day + on errands with me around the marina. For in-home boarding: I live across the street from a very friendly park inclusive of a dog run and always follow an owners instructions on whether it's ok to allow their dog off leash or not. The longest I've left a dog alone is 4 hours in my apartment, though when I do, I always like to be sure they're comfy and cozy (ie. dog TV, the fan on, special treats, :)
“Rachael has been amazing with my older, but energetic pup, Jonah! Jonah has some quirks and has to be watched pretty carefully on walks around the neighborhood (he likes to graze) and Rachael has adapted so well to his walks and demand for pets! Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pet.”

“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.”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“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.”
“Alina accepted my boarding request very quickly and was amazing at communicating how my puppy was doing during her stay. Highly recommend Alina for any of her services ☺️”
“Jesse was great! He took amazing care of Wally and he sent me a lot of pics and videos of their time together. Will definitely bring Wally back and would definitely recommend!”
“Kaz and Yoko are absolutely fantastic sitters! This is the first time Izzy has stayed with someone that isn’t family and she was so happy and well cared for. I am so glad to have found sitters who I trust completely and who Izzy loves so much. I loved how communicative they were with me and would send me photos everyday and I could see all the fun Izzy was having. Izzy is looking forward to her next stay with them in two weeks! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
“Summer was so great with Louie! He tends to be shy and take a while to warm up to new humans but he loved summer and came back calm and happy! Summer was such a great communicator and very flexible with making a last minute reservation work despite some travel plans. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup 🐶”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but am back home usually by 5:15. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
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.
“We just completed a great get away to Napa, which means our dog had another wonderful stay with Leo and his family. I am so grateful for his flexibility when scheduling and his willingness to take care of Max. Our dog loves his time at his home away from home with Leo!”
“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!”
“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.”
