“Bee was amazing!! We booked a last minute weekend trip to Napa and couldn’t bring Baci our dachshund. Bee not only took care of him but also took him for walks, send pics and videos, to play with her own dog and even gave him a bath! We really appreciate all you did Bee and thank you! Highly recommend!”

“Eunjee was a great sitter for Bubble! Very flexible, communicative, and responsive. She sent daily photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing Bubble was well taken care of.”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”

“I only met Victoria and her dog Rina. Both are amazing being! Victoria took really good care of my dog Kai. She was very communicative and answers in a timely manner. She calmed my nerves of leaving my dog to a sitter. Kai enjoy his stay at her place and had a blast playing with Rina. Victoria sent periodical photos and videos to me to give me status update. She also respected my boundary not to reach me at a certain time because I was running a half marathon during those hours. I’m really happy that Kai bonded well with Victoria and Rina. I would certainly contact them again when I need a dog sitter. Kai spent two nights with them and had no issues. Just lots of fun playful moments for Kai. Thank you Victoria!”

“Annabel took wonderful care of my dog, Penny, over a long weekend. From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She happily arranged an initial meet-and-greet in a public place, followed by another visit so Penny could get comfortable with her apartment before the stay, which I really appreciated. During Penny's stay, Annabel sent regular photo updates and messages, giving us peace of mind that she was happy and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Penny feel at home. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Annabel again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.”
“Juan took great care of Milo, and we had an excellent experience. He was very responsive throughout the stay, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear Milo was well cared for and in good hands. We would absolutely book with Juan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Celia was amazing with Marble! She watched him for a little over a week while I was away on a work trip. On day two, he rolled in poop (of course) and she handled it with ease by giving him a bath. She even tried to brush his teeth and trim his nails, which shows her dedication to giving the best care to her clients. She sent me multiple pictures every day, which honestly made such a difference while I was out of town. She was super flexible about pick-up on the last day too, and left a little treat in Marble’s backpack which was the sweetest touch. I felt totally at ease knowing Marble was with her. Would definitely recommend her and hope to book with her again!”

Caroline was incredibly patient and gentle—she quickly earned our cat’s trust and even got cuddles! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was young, helping neighbors by feeding, checking in on, and spending time with their cats while they were away. I now have Benji, a 6-year-old (stubborn) cat of my own, and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or extra cuddly, I enjoy getting to know each cat on their terms. I provide patient, attentive care and make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You'll also receive plenty of photos and videos throughout each visit, so it feels like you're right there with them. 🐱💕
“Genna is amazing! Since this was my cat's first stay with her, she would update me on his adjustment to her place. I love how she sends photos so you can still see your baby. She's wonderful. I don't think my cat wanted to come home with me!”
“Sophie had a great time with Ariana! Ariana was super communicative during the entire process and sent us many cute pictures of Sophie. I will certainly book her again!”
“Sami was a fantastic cat sitter! She tended to our cats’ needs, preferences and quirks. Sami sent videos, messages and pictures and it was clear that our kitties were happy under her care :).”
“We cannot recommend Sara enough! Our cats are super shy, but they warmed up to her incredibly fast, which speaks volumes about her gentle and professional approach. We deeply appreciated her thorough communication, level of detail, and all the wonderful photos she shared while we were away. Having that peace of mind allowed us to completely enjoy our vacation. Sara is a true professional, and we will absolutely be booking her again!”
“We had Kaki take care of our two cats, Zeus and Athena, while we were away for a week, and she was absolutely wonderful. Zeus is an extremely shy cat — our friends usually don’t even catch a glimpse of him until the third visit, if they’re lucky. Somehow, Kaki managed to coax him out, play with him, and become friends with him on her very first visit. We were genuinely amazed! Throughout the week, Kaki sent us lots of photos and videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were on the other side of the country. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up the occasional cat mess (including the classic “poop on the floor and stuck to the butt” situation), which we really appreciated. It’s clear that Kaki genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend Kaki to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter.”
“Joslyn was amazing with my cats. She was very professional and ensured to take care of my house and also ensuring the cats had everything they needed. My fearful cat only took one day to settle in and come out for pets from Joslyn. Will definitely work with her again when next I need a sitter.”
“Bibianna is an incredibly kind and caring sitter. She connected with our cats right away and took excellent care of them. She was very communicative and sent daily photo updates, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book her again.”
“Highly recommend Natalie for kitty-sitting. She is thorough, attentive, and somehow won over my ultra-shy kitty! I received updates and tons of pictures of Natalie cleaning litter, refilling food and water, and playing with the kitties. She also went above and beyond to accommodate a key handoff while I was out of town. Thank you Natalie!!”
About: Hi, I'm Femke. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, family, and neighbors for almost a decade. What started as a hobby quickly became something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Now, I’m excited to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, preparing for a degree in Cynology (dog behavior) next year. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and intuitive approach. I’ve walked high-energy pups who need structure and stimulation, cared for seniors who require slower walks and medication, and provided companionship to anxious or shy dogs who just need someone gentle and understanding. I’m confident in handling leash reactivity, administering basic medications, and keeping routines consistent to help dogs feel safe and secure. My focus is always on building trust, so your dog feels comfortable with me, and fully enjoys the time we spend together. I’m studying part-time to prepare for my Cynology (dog behavior) degree next year, and have no other major commitments - your dog gets my full attention. My days revolve around walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, so I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and (most) holidays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to build trust with each dog, starting with a meet-and-greet to understand their routines, triggers, and preferences. During walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and stick to safe, familiar routes. I will not do off-leash unless in client-approved spaces and with your explicit consent. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your routines, respect your space, and provide real-time updates with photos and notes, so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog(s) the care and companionship they deserve.
“I will book Avery again and again for sitting needs and highly recommend for the best care of your pets too! I was actually lucky enough to have Avery cat sit for my bud Midnight when we needed it most. It’s the worst case scenario but while sitting Midnight had a medical incident that was purely a result of his age. Avery called me and I was with her over FaceTime as she talked to him, comforted him, and loaded him to go to the vet. It’s a scary situation and was so thankful for her care while I was away. For someone to be so sweet and organized and caring in a situation like that I’m so so grateful. Not to mention the oh so happy pictures of the treats and pets while she was checking in! Should have left this review a while ago :) thank you Avery!”
“Very communicative and great with my cats! They were so happy and clearly well taken care of while I was gone. I appreciate all the photos and updates from Sarocha!”

“When our dog sitter had to cancel at the last minute, Dylan came to the rescue! With almost no notice, he took in our pups and took such great care of them. He stayed in touch, sending updates and pics, and was very flexible with our schedule. We are so appreciative of Dylan and would recommend him to others in or traveling to the San Francisco area.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and multiple walks throughout the day—not just before and after work. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a dog lover who works from home with a flexible schedule. Since I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will get lots of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. I live just one block from a dog park, making it easy to enjoy fun outings (if your dog enjoys socializing). I also have a friendly beagle/terrier mix who loves meeting new friends and helps visiting dogs feel at home.
“Andrea was wonderful and communicative when taking care of my baby Keats on our trip to San Francisco. Him and Charlie had a great time together. Andrea took him on sooo many walks. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Ms Shanice is a very gentle person. My doggie seems she had a great time at her place. Also her doggie is the perfect assistant!! It was the first time for our doggie to stay in the dog day care or with someone else, but our family is very happy that Ms. Shanice could help our doggie for the new experience.”
About: Hi! I’m Kelli, a dependable dog lover based in North Beach. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or curling up on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates, prompt communication, and the peace of mind that your dog is getting plenty of attention and affection. I work from home on Monday and Fridays, so I’m pretty open to help with walks or check-ins. I’m also available most Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, I cannot keep pets at my place, but I’d be happy to pick up your pup for a walk or a house-sit at yours!
“Kelvin takes great care of my pup and she comes home exhausted! He has a great setup and I feel comfortable leaving my puppy with him for the day, knowing she’ll be well looked after. Thank you Kelvin!”

“Thank you Celia for another day of caring for my baby Georgie! He had such a blast with you, I was so relaxed all day knowing he was having a great time. Lots of updates and spoiling like he was your own!”
“Carlotta is amazing! Our pup Ash loves her - Carlotta is clearly a dog lover. She was attentive to Ash, flexible with us on communication and pickup/dropoff, sent lots of cute pictures; everything you want when you’re away from your pup. Ash came home happy, tired, and ready to cuddle. Highly recommend booking with Carlotta.”
“Yvette & Trey were super communicative, friendly, and flexible! I ended up having to extend Lani's stay pretty significantly at the last minute, and they were more than accommodating. 10/10 recommend!”
“Leo was wonderful with my dog — attentive, caring, and reliable. I could tell my pup felt comfortable and happy the whole time. Great communication and updates throughout. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Ingyin is very sweet and she was swift to reply to my texts which is a huge plus in my books since I always have to run to work right after an early morning drop off. She was amazing and I would definitely pick her to watch Jinx again for me 😊”
“Mary-Frances took such good care of our pup, Paprika! This was Paprika’s first time staying with someone outside of family and Mary-Frances made her feel right at home. She also gave me updates throughout the day which made us feel at ease leaving Paprika for the first time! Paprika had a fun-filled day of walks and playtime. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up 😆 I would recommend Mary-Frances to anyone and can’t wait to have her watch our pup again.”
“Butters had a fun day while I got to take from fostering him a bit! Betty was great with sending periodic updates for me and she was really helpful with advice on puppy training. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I have been caring for pets my entire life and have always had a strong love for animals. I grew up with cats and have had my own cat for the past 10 years, giving me extensive experience with understanding feline personalities, routines, and individual needs. I also have experience caring for friends’ pets, including providing feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their daily care routines. In addition to cat care, I offer dog care and walking services. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and a safe environment while their owners are away. I also have experience medicating cats and am comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure pets receive the support they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide reliable, loving, and personalized care for each animal I look after. I only work three days a week so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I am available morning, afternoon, and evenings on my days off. I provide pet care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other instructions provided. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while their owners are away. For cats, I understand the importance of a calm and familiar environment. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, and medication when needed. For dogs, I provide safe and enjoyable walks, exercise, and companionship while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
About: I offer overnight sits, check-ins, and walks, and I take things at your pet's pace. I love taking dogs (and cats!) out slowly, appreciating the details of people's gardens while they have a good sniff, then opening up into a run to burn off excess energy. I'm always up for fetch, tug of war, and teaching new tricks and behaviors. Over the past few years I've been dog sitting and walking for friends and members of my community around town, and I help with the daily running of my housemates' dog boarding business at home. I've looked after animals with medical needs, from help getting to the bathroom to medication and insulin shots, and I'm reliable at following a feeding and dosing schedule. I'm comfortable with anxious or reactive dogs too, and I know how to avoid their triggers, hold to a routine, and build trust. I work part-time as a gardener and take online classes in project management, so my days stay flexible and I've got plenty of time to spend with your pet. My work as a gardener and dog walker keeps me on a flexible schedule. I can handle morning and evening feedings, midday check-ins, walks, and play. I adjust to each pet's routine. I keep pets on their normal routine, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, secure doors and gates, refresh water, and move slowly with shy or anxious animals.
“Thank you Olesia for watching our boys! You were absolutely amazing!!! You kept is updated with photos and messages and followed all our instructions perfectly. I know our high energy puppy is a lot of work! Thank you again.”
“We were so thankful to have Genna's help last minute when we needed it. She was super at communicating with us. Pups were so happy to have her hang out and walk with them. We feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out for help again. Thanks Genna!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been enjoying caring for friends’ and family’s dogs while they travel for over 15 years. I was responsible for full time dog care up to 2 weeks including feeding, daily companionship when remote working and walking or hiking with dogs as well as overnight stays. Recently retired and expanding my dog walking/care to more pets. I recently retired and very flexible weekday hours, but away many weekends. If in town, I can likely open times for weekend days as well. My hours during the day are also quite flexible currently. I have cared for friends’ pets at their homes with overnight stays of a few days to a few weeks. Currently seeking dog walking opportunities but open potentially to future home stay care for pets.
“I am so thankful to have met David and have him as my dog walker. He is on-time, energetic, and thorough. My dog Larry tends to be cautious around men, but he has really grown to like and trust David. Larry has some behavior and allergy issues, but David has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful with both. He makes sure that Larry takes his allergy medication, wipes off his paws, and properly crates him. His walks are a full 30 minutes and I can tell on those days that Larry is properly exercised and socialized. David sends very thorough walk-logs on Larry's mood, his interactions with other dogs, his behavior, etc. including really lovely photos. I had David walk Larry several times the last week and I expect to continue to use David as a regular dog walker for Larry.”
“Margaux is incredibly reliable and treats my dogs with care and patience. My pups always come home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands.”
“Carolyn is nice, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She walked my dogs every day at least once per day (occasionally booked for twice per day) for about 1.5 weeks while I was at work. I would book with her again.”
“Shannon was great with Gus! He was always on time, accommodated for the rain and took him on a long 60 minute walk. Gus was excited to see him everyday. Shannon was very responsive and easy to work with!”
“Divya was amazing with my pup! They did quite the walk, hit the park and burnt out a bunch of energy. Divya also took great photos and left a fantastic summary of their excursion. I appreciated her prompt response times and she asked good questions before starting out with my baby girl. Can't reccomend her more! Will definitely reach out again in the future. Thanks for giving my pup such a great start to her morning!”
About: I am a responsible, experienced dog/cat owner-lover and will treat yours like my own. I was raised in a family that had dogs including 3 dachshunds, a mutt, and a chow over the years. As an adult I have been the loving pet parent to three adult cats consecutively. Very comfortable around cats and dogs. Available for dog-walking, cat/dog drop-in's, and daytime extended stay drop-in's / house-sitting (no overnights). I have worked remotely for over ten years so have a very flexible schedule. Walking your dog or visiting your cat would be a pleasure and a chance for some fresh air and exercise. I do this for supplemental income during my free time and the opportunity to visit different neighborhoods. I am available daytime hours, not overnight (mid-morning til before sunset). I will give your cat or dog as much or little attention in your home as you (or they!) specify. Reliable, trustworthy. Not able to care for your pets at my home.
About: I've always been a dog lover and want one myself (sadly, the timing isn't right just yet). In the meantime, I'm putting all that doggy affection to good use as a top-notch dog walker. I am a passionate daily walker/ runner so I will make sure your dog gets their daily dose of fun and exercise. I currently work a remote full-time job with a very flexible schedule. I will work closely with you to figure out a schedule that works for us both. I prioritize safety and adherence to any specified routines. I follow specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. Your dog will receive extra attention, and care to ensure their well-being and happiness.
“Kadi is so sweet and went out of her way to meet Zoey before walking her for the first time. She is communicative and very knowledgeable of all types of dogs. I felt very safe leaving Zoey in her care!”
About: Hi! I am a pet mom to a Maltese dog and a tortie cat, a mom to three grown daughters, and a grandma to five little ones. I love all kinds of furbabies, and I treat them as I do my own. I enjoy taking dogs out around the neighbor; I like to play with a good dog or cat toy. I am also great with cuddling. I can dispense pills or even do injections! I would care for your animal(s) with responsibility and love. Unlike dog walkers that I've seen, I don't text or look at my phone when walking your pet. Your pet's happiness and safety are my chief concerns. Please consider me for loving care delivered to your pet(s). All the best. I am mostly retired, and I enjoy getting out in the neighborhood, particularly when accompanied by a furry friend or two. Good sights and good sniffs are what it’s all about! I treat all pets as I do my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, and love. I make sure that pets are fed and watered. I clean up any “accidents.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed , play and snuggle with their pets. I’m currently working part-time so, time is flexible. I will have a plenty of time to hang out with your pets. I’m available for week day and on weekends also. I will set my available time on my schedule. I always try to follow the consistent routine. My own cats have set time for meal and play. I bring the same structure and attentiveness to every pets I care for.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Choo Choo! Communication was excellent, and you always responded quickly, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated the tour of your place, and I loved that you have a balcony where Choo Choo could hang out. You were also very accommodating with all of my requests. It was obvious that you genuinely cared about Choo Choo and wanted the best for him. I would definitely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“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!”

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 get half days on Fridays. 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!
“Abdel was amazing! We left our dog Appa with him for two weeks. Abdel took great care of Appa and sent us lots of pictures. Our flight home was also delayed multiple days and Abdel was super flexible with looking after Appa for additional time. Would 100% recommend!”
“Kazu and Yoko have watched our dog Marley countless times over the past few years. Marley seriously has the best time when he gets to stay with them! They go on two adventures a day with the dogs and always send a recap email at the end of the day with amazing pictures of their adventures, plus an update on how Marley is doing. He gets SO excited to stay with them, which is exactly what you want for your dog when you have to leave them. As long as we’re still living in the Bay Area, we’ll always have Kazu and Yoko watch Marley.”
About: Shelby grew up with Labrador retrievers ever since she was 5 years old. She has experience with medication administration, ear cleaning, walking, and more. We have a 2.5 year old dachshund who we crate, potty, and leash trained. We are both dog lovers with some of our friends saying Shelby is “the most dog obsessed person I’ve ever met.” We will strive to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible while respecting any rules and boundaries you have in your own home. We absolutely love every kind of dog and would give your fur baby 5 star care ⭐️ We both work from home, so our schedules are very flexible. We take our dog out 3 times a day for potty breaks and several walks a day. We can really take your dog out whenever is needed, as one of us is always available. Our home is very, very dog proof. Our dog loves to eat everything so we’re very mindful of keeping things tidy. Especially with larger dogs, we put away our dogs smaller toys, so that there’s no possibility of them being ingested (there’s the labrador experience haha!) we will be around and loving your pet 24/7 while they’re in our care ❤️
About: With over 25 years of dog experience, ranging from extra-large to toy breeds, and 8 years of cat experience, I bring a lifetime of hands-on animal care to my work. I adopted my dog, Sokka, from the SFSPCA in 2020. He was described as “mouthy, jumpy, rambunctious” and transported from Fresno to SF. Today, he's a well-mannered companion who walks calmly on leash and knows over 20 commands, including ultimate recall. I also raised my tuxedo cat, Suki, at 3 months old when I adopted her in 2017. I’m certified in Red Cross Dog & Cat First Aid. I’m known for being patient, observant, loving, and pragmatic, with a strong instinct for reading animal body language. Your pets are in calm, capable hands. I'm currently funemployed and available to house-sit and drop-ins during weekdays, offering dog-walks anytime, and am flexible for any services on weekends. I go on runs early in the morning and do some weight lifting in the afternoon I crate train my dog, have a command for them to go to their bed, and provide mental stimulation training and feeding programs. I take my dog out for potty breaks at least three times a day. I will commit to showing your animal as much love and care as I do to mine.
