“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. ”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!”
“Randy was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for my corgi, Chunks. A day before his stay, we discovered a foxtail in Chunks’s paw, and he needed antibiotics and special care. Randy took care of administering the medication and keeping Chunks’s paw clean, which was so helpful and appreciated. We loved the picture updates Randy sent, and we could tell that Chunks was having a blast! Thank you Randy for everything!”
“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!”
“This was awesome. I had never left my pup with anyone in a long time and this was so reassuring! Yingxin sent me so many photos. It helped ease my anxiety being away from my dog while in vacation. I would 100% leave my dog with her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Lydia has been stellar watching our cats while we were away. She sends daily photos of our cats and even fed our turtle. Thank you for your time! We will definitely use Lydia again for future cat sitting.”
“20 stars!! Ria was simply amazing, she asked clarifying questions and kept in contact with us throughout the sitting. Our cat was completely smitten with her, would definitely love to use her services 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!”
“Diana was responsible, communicative and lovely to work with. My kitties were relaxed and well taken care of when I returned from my trip and my home looked great. I felt comfortable with her house sitting and will request her to come back when I’m out of town again.”
About: Hello! I’m Brittany, a lifelong animal lover and current dog mom to a 52-lb. pup of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry friend as they’re part of your family! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs (and cats!) of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities and am comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. 🙂 I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small terriers to medium-size doodles to large labs and shepherds. I love puppies and have experience on how to raise them to be good doggy citizens. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand the training and scenarios to place them in or avoid to make sure they are successful. I adore them all! ❤️ Whether your pet needs a good walk, some company while you’re out, or a comfortable place to spend the day, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate weekday walks, drop-ins, and day care as well as some weekend care. I’m dependable, communicative (I take way too many pictures!), and will always keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. For daycare, I live in a standalone home in San Francisco with a private, spacious, fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and relax. My dog can be the perfect playmate or I can keep them hanging solo if preferred. For drop-ins/walks, I’ll make sure to follow your specific instructions to ensure a safe and happy environment.
“Arillia was great. My cat was hesitant for the first day, but by day 3 they were getting a long easily. I felt very confident with Arillia and would absolutely work with her again.”
“Michelle was great! Very attentive to our sweet, needy cat and made the holiday process quite smooth. She was able to take time to meet our kitty before, which helped a lot too.”
“Rongrong was so great with Moz! He’s very shy with new people but quickly warmed up to Rongrong. The care and attention she gave to Moz was evident by how trusting Moz was with her in the videos and photos she took. And she provided videos and photos during each visit. Highly recommended!”
About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.
About: Experienced pet caregiver providing attentive cat sitting, drop-ins, and care tailored to your cat’s routine. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“I always know that when Elle is staying, everything is going to be taken care of. She understands the personality differences between our cats and has earned their trust. I know I didn't have to worry and can enjoy my trip. 10/10 - would recommend!”
About: I have two doggies that are my 🌎. I was a house sittter for two French bulldogs for 1-2 years, as well as a sitter for a senior dog with pretty severe separation anxiety. I love their company, and they enjoy mine :) Dogs hold a a special place in my heart so I ensure you that I will take care of them as if they were my own. They I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of energy and time to give your babies all the love, attention, and cuddles they deserve and need! If owners have a routine when it comes to play time, eating, and dog walks I make sure to follow that alone with their house rules.
“Lisha was a fantastic drop-in visitor for our two dogs. She was timely, communicative, and thorough. Our dogs were and are very happy to have her company and help. Don't hesitate to hire Lisha!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.
About: I’ve always had cats! It was my first responsibility as a kid. I love their personalities and quirks. My current cat is a 4 year old mischievous girl. She loves the travel life so she can explore all of the nooks and crannies of new places!
“Liang is one of the best cat sitters I have ever had! She took really good care of both of my cats, followed all of their feeding and litter box instructions perfectly, and gave them plenty of love and cuddles. My cats absolutely loved her! She also kept the house extremely clean. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring cat sitter!”

“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!!!”
“Bruce did a great job with my senior dog, Flynn who’s 13. His patience and attention to detail is unmatched. I’m very glad I chose Bruce for my first time using a dog sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Joey! I have hands-on experience caring for and training dogs from 5 months to 10 years old, working with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or reinforcement of good habits, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I work from home, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day. Because I occasionally travel for work, I keep my calendar very up to date. If you see availability, I am committed to that time. I just ask that bookings are confirmed in advance whenever possible. For doggy daycare, I live with my partner, and we both work from home. This means your pup will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day, and if I’m traveling for work, my partner is able to care for them as well. We’re very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and are happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Feel free to send your dog with their favorite toys, treats, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m happy to tailor their daycare experience to their individual needs and preferences. Please note: I require a meet & greet before accepting any first-time booking. This helps ensure we’re a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable and safe with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions and pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any behavioral cues. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure, cared for, and understood while you’re away.
“Indy always loves her time with Robert & Marty! She pulls me to take her in with a non-stop wiggly tail! She always comes home tired and happy. Definitely her favorite place away from home. They absolutely know how to make a pup feel loved and cared for!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“It’s like pups play time every time my boy gets to stay with Randy. Beach or park runs, racing around. Jude always comes home happy and tired. It’s wonderful!”
“Vanda was great, she was very patient, kind and caring for my senior dachshund. Gave him massages for his arthritis and cleaned his bedding after an accident. Was very understanding after something held me up at work and had to extend daycare for an hour. Would have her watch him again when we need her again.”
“My pup Hira spent a day with Varun. She seemed happy and relaxed. Varun and his fiancee were super pleasant and friendly. It was easy to book and they were flexible. I felt comfortable leaving my pup with them. This was Hira’s first stay with Varun. So glad I connected with him. We will definitely board Hira with them again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Sherry and her husband were great! The photos, videos and mini updates that Sherry provided meant the world to me. They were also flexible with the pickup time after my partners flight got delayed. Thank you for caring for Luna. I would absolutely book again! My first experience with Rover was a success!”
“Thanks to Rachel and Ryan for the last minute help wit my Starla. There updates were very assuring and there love for dogs shows. I would definitely recommend these two kind folks to anyone!”

“Would highly highly recommend Joey. She is super responsive, caring, reliable, detail oriented, and was just overall great with our pups Mozie. She exercised him well every day and took great care of him. She also sent such cute pics every day she took him on a walk, and was detailed in her updates. We loved Joey and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Aileen did a great job walking my girl. She listened carefully to all the instructions about how to handle her leash reactivity and ensure a happy experience. I will definitely book with her again.”
“This was our first time working with a dog walker and Lani did a wonderful job meeting us. Playing with our pup and walking her around the neighborhood. Lani was very respectful and helpful. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Arilla has been a reliable and responsive dog walker! She really loves dogs and is clearly very good with them. She is communicative and thorough and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Mick was great. He came through for me after my initial sitter cancelled last minute. This was my first time using Rover, and Mick made it a smooth, easy process.”
“Thank you Celeste for always doing an amazing job! Im very happy and satisfied with Celeste’s services, she’s very caring and kind to my Princess :) I’m working most of the time & can’t walk Princess but luckily Celeste is there to help me by taking care of my baby, I recommend her to anyone looking for a very attentive dog sitter!”
“Julianne is a fantastic dog walker! We have 2 dogs and Julianne expertly handled both. One was so excited to see Julianne when she arrived for her walk as she recognized her from her previous walk. Flexible, caring dog walker - Highly Recommended!”

About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work at a school, so I’m available on weekends for pet walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. With summer approaching, my schedule will be much more open. Please feel free to refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it up to date. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care by following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I have over a year of experience caring for pets and offer pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care. During drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and care they need.

I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
About: I grew up around dogs and currently work part-time at a dog grooming spa, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through grooming work, I’ve learned how important patience, gentle handling, cleanliness, and reading a dog’s body language can be. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and personality. Some dogs need calm reassurance, some need more exercise, and some simply need a quiet, reliable person to keep them company. I do my best to provide safe, attentive care that matches each pet’s needs while helping them feel comfortable and loved. I also have experience caring for senior pets, pets with special routines, and pets who may need oral medication, basic coat care, or extra patience. Also, I certified in Cat and Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross. Experienced in pet handling, grooming support, and daily pet care. I am currently a student and work part-time at a dog grooming spa, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I am available for weekday and weekend care, and for weekday daycare, drop-off at my workplace may be available by arrangement. My schedule can vary, so I always confirm details in advance to make sure your pet gets safe, reliable care. I live in a single-family home with a fenced yard, and there is a nearby park with walking trails and a dog play area about a 5 minute walk away. Safety is always my priority, so I follow each pet’s routine carefully, keep dogs supervised, and use a leash for walks unless we have discussed otherwise. I also ask about food allergies, medical needs, triggers, and comfort around other pets before care begins.
About: Growing up with pets has taught me a lot. Ive helped many friends with their pets for a long time and enjoy doing it! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own that I care about and love deeply. I great at following instructions. Keeping up with routine, giving meds on time and I am good at communicating with families and reporting issues to pet owners and making sure they feel comfortable with leaving their pets in my care. I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon during the mornings I have free time to take care of your pets and take them on walks and do drop in visits. I will always follow a routine and if there’s a problem with the routine or with your pet I will communicate to you to make sure everything is fine and to find the solution to the problem I have no problem with updating and sending pictures as much as you’d like so you can know your pet is safe with me.
About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.
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 always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. As a cat mom of two, I’m very comfortable with everything from playful, social pets to shy ones who need a little extra patience and space. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. For dogs, I love getting outside for walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise, sniffing, and attention along the way. For cat drop-ins, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter, playtime, cuddles, and all those little details cat parents care about. And of course, you can expect plenty of cute photos and updates so you know your furry family member is in good hands! I am currently enrolled in school and can drop in any day of the week as needed to care for your babies while you are away. I will treat every cat as my own and ensure they are comfortable, safe, and thriving! I’m also happy to send plenty of photo updates so you know your kitty is safe, happy, and well cared for!
About: I absolutely adore animals. From the age of 6 I thought I wanted to be a vet. I even went down that path in college. Until I realized I wanted to be a nurse instead. I have worked as an ER nurse for the last 10 years. I have experience giving meds to my own animals ( a 9 year old Schnoodle and a 4 year old cat). I’ve also gotten into senior care for my dog that now currently wears diapers. Brings a whole new meaning when you call your pets your babies:) I’m friendly, communicative, flexible and respectful. If you think I’m a good fit, please reach out so we can discuss your needs:) I currently have some extra free time and have a pretty open schedule. If you have needs outside my schedule please let me know and I will see if I can make it work! I have a cat and dog of my own and have had countless pets over the years. I don’t have kids so they are truly my pride and joy. I will treat your pets and gain their trust just as I would my own animals!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.
“Tommy was flexible, accommodating, and responsive, He took care to ask questions about special needs my dog had. He sent photos along the way and was very accessible and responsive.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years for friends and family, and it’s something I truly love. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and temperaments, and I take the time to make each pup feel safe and understood. I’ve worked with dogs for many years, and honestly, my own dogs are my children. I know how hard it can be to leave them, so my goal is to give your pup a calm, loving, cozy “weekend away” where they feel completely at home. I work full-time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends and holidays to give your pets lots of love, attention, and care. My home has a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. Crates are available if your pup needs one, and they’re always welcome on the couch or bed. I’ve created a cozy, loving space where every dog can feel right at home.

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I was fortunate that Bo agreed to watch my 8 month old puppy with only a couple days' notice. He sent daily updates with photos, has a nice indoor and outdoor area, and was flexible about the dropoff and pickup times. Bo's calm demeanor seemed to put my dog at ease, whereas she's normally a bit shy and timid around humans. When I picked her up, it was like I had been gone for a couple hours instead of a couple days. Her manners, energy level, and digestion quickly fell back into her normal routine.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This was awesome. I had never left my pup with anyone in a long time and this was so reassuring! Yingxin sent me so many photos. It helped ease my anxiety being away from my dog while in vacation. I would 100% leave my dog with her 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 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“Brianna and Jerry did a great job taking care of Domingo who is a 1 and 1/2-year-old mix of labrador and Shepherd, and he is high energy. They sent videos and photos everyday and ask me questions about Domingo's diet. They also helped with training him not to pull on the leash. They both love dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
“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!”
“Jose took great care of our 11 yo pup and followed all instructions as shared. He also provided updates via photographs on how it was going. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
