“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!!!”
“Sam was an incredible host for our two pups. We are so appreciative of the attention and love she gave them, her communication, and her giving us the peace of mind that they were in the best hands. They were so obviously comfortable and at ease with her. She is very thorough and makes sure that she knows all about the dogs’ habits and routines in order to make their stay is as smooth as possible. We also had to extend our trip and she was very kind to accommodate us. We are so lucky to have found Sam!”
“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”
“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!!”
“Our pups were treated like Lil princes, they even got to sleep in her bed. Jill sent me daily pics and videos, and she took them to different parks in the area. When our flight was delayed, she accommodated our last minute change of plans. I love the individualized care she provided. Will definitely take the pups to her from here on out.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“Honey had a wonderful time in their care! I received daily pictures and video so her playing and being silly. I felt relaxed knowing she was in a safe space. We met a week before the booking to ensure it was a good match, which made me feel more at ease. She was excellently taken care of and I would book them again! Highly recommend.”
“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. ”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Maria took great care of my French bulldog, Bowie for ~10 days. Sent photos every day and was very responsive to all messages. I would definitely rebook and recommend.”
“Erica was super communicative and sent lots of photos of Cody while he stayed with her. She took Cody on adventure walks multiple times a day, and gave him all the cuddles - she even knit him his own cozy blanket! Since he's been home, he's been seeking it out as his place to go and nap. Thank you Erica for being the best!”
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
“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!”

“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!”
“Alexandra was so awesome and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away from our cats. She gave them such great attention, was communicative with us, send great summaries and so many photos. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Deirdre is such an amazing pet sitter!! She took excellent care of our two older, high-maintenance cats for more than a week, giving them lots of great attention and love in addition to all meals and cleaning. She was wonderful with communication and updates, and she took excellent care of our house through the holidays. We returned home to happy cats, our place just as we left it, and even more updates--honestly the best pet sitter we have found!”
About: Since I was 9 I have had cats in my life. From the loving ones who to sit and be pet to the ones who are mischievous and overly clever, I have experienced most of the likes of cats. As for personalities, I can take care of the overly anxious, shy ones to the super social ones. So if you need a couch potato for your pet, or a patient cat watcher, I can be your sitter!

About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else. I’m attentive to the little things: their routines, body language, favorite activities, quirks, and the things that help them feel secure. I’ll give your dog plenty of affection, playtime, walks, and opportunities to sniff and explore, not just the bare minimum. I’m especially passionate about making dogs feel comfortable in their own environment rather than disrupting their routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays, and usually free on weekends to care for your pup. I’d love to be your dog’s best friend!! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where your pup can feel secure, while keeping a close eye on their routines, body language, and individual needs. I’m mindful about preventing escapes, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and making sure dogs have plenty of opportunities to rest, play, sniff, and explore at their own pace. I also take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, triggers, feeding and exercise routines, and any special instructions so their time with me feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Oh, where do I start with how much my dog Kony loved being with Jill and her family? First, he walked right up to her door without even noticing I was still there! When I picked him up, he did NOT want to come home with me because he wanted to stay with Jill. I literally had to drag and carry my 50 lb dog out of the house and into the car because he was treated so well at Jill’s. I can now fully trust her to watch Kony weekly and for overnight boarding. I’ll definitely be telling all my dog-parent friends to book her fast — she’s popular for a reason! Thank you, Jill. I truly can’t thank you enough. See you soon!”

About: It is never easy leaving your pup in the care of others while away. I’ve been there many times with my own dogs. I strive to provide the best care I can to put my doggie guest and their human at ease. The key to a positive experience is to know my guest's daily routine and their needs well. For 7+ years, I opened my heart and home to foster dogs of various age, size, and breed. I learned lot of about caring for dogs and dog behavior. Dogs are a huge part of my life. Currently, I am not fostering dogs, and my own dogs have all passed. I work from home with flexible hours, so your pup will enjoy a lot of attention. Your pup's days will be filled with customized exercise, playtime, and attention to their dietary routines.

I have a fence in yard. My doggie guests can use the doggie door anytime to access the yard. They can roam free in the house. I have several dog beds in the house and they can lounge in the sun in the spot of their choosing. I am very conscientious about not leaving food or trash out to keep my guests safe. Overall, life in the house is peaceful with many fun outings to engage them physically and mentally. I follow clients' specific instructions and routines to keep my guests comfortable and safe in my care. Their safety and well-being is my top priority.

“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: Pawfect Stay is your dog’s staycation when you go on vacation. You can feel confident that your dog will be a part of my family when they stay with us. About me 20 year dog mom; ~16 years human mom. I live with my husband and teenage son. I am an airbnb superhost (10 years) and have hosted dogs for 5 years (for friends mostly). I can guarantee that your dog will feel loved during their stay. About Sparky Sparky is a feisty westie. He’s 7 and 1/2 years old. He’s used to being an only fur child at home, but will quickly adapt to a furry guest (human guests are a different matter). During their stay I will take your dog between my homes in sf and napa, where they will hang out as I tend to housekeeping. Your dog will go on at least two daily walks with me and my dog, Sparky. Sometimes we go on outings to the beach or park (where your dog will always be on a leash). I have a fenced yard at both houses. I take dogs for multiple walks per day in the neighborhood or at the park. Your dogs can sleep on the furniture or with us in bed if they enjoy a good cuddle
“Albert took outstanding care of my dog Monty! He was very communicative and sent me updates/pictures throughout the day to put my mind at ease! He provided lots of stimulation (walks, runs, trips to the park/beach, treats etc) and I can tell Monty had the best time spending the day with Albert while I was at work. I would 100% recommend Albert to take care of your pets needs and I will definitely be sending Monty back :)”

About: I have had my own dogs for the last 25 years and am the aunt to many dogs in the family and in the neighborhood. All the pups know I carry around treats! I have experience with a wide range of breeds. I am a very active person so your dog is sure to go on many walks followed by naps! I am retired so I am available whenever. With my last dog, a yellow Labrador named Kesha, I went on about 4 walks a day. My house is two levels and your dog is free to roam around as they wish. I have a backyard on the ground level so if hosting a senior dog, they won't have to use the stairs.

About: Hello, I’m Emily! I recently moved to San Francisco after getting married in June. My husband got a job here, so we made the move from Wisconsin and are excited to start this new chapter! I’ve always been a huge dog lover and love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have my own dog, Finn, a chocolate Lab, at home, so I know how much our dogs mean to us. I’d love the opportunity to take your dog on walks, give them some extra love and attention, and make sure they have a fun and happy time while you’re away. I’d be so excited to get to know your pup and treat them like my own! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your dog! I’d love the opportunity to help with dog walking and am happy to work around a time that’s convenient for you!

I’ll also be mindful of weather conditions, traffic, other dogs and people, and anything else that could potentially make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ll follow any specific instructions or routines you provide and make sure your dog is secure before, during, and after every walk. With my own dog, Finn, his wellness and safety are always my number-one priority, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every dog I have the opportunity to look after. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for!
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old! I was raised in a chihuahua family, and am now a pitbull mom to an 8 year old pup. I've lived with and taken care of many dogs in between. I took care of my family dogs up until their end of life, and simultaneously raised a rescue pitbull/boxer puppy from 8 weeks old. Raising and training a rescue has taught me exponentially about how to care for dogs, especially large breeds. I feel confident about my ability to handle high-energy, sensitive and vocal dogs. I have experience in crate training, commanding with treats, administering medication, walking multiple dogs at the same time, walking dogs in busy urban areas, playing off leash at the park and playing off leash at the beach. I have cared for many friends dogs, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I could not imagine a life without pups! I'm currently earning a master's degree, and I am free outside of classes and working on projects in my studio. I have some availability during the week and free on weekends to take care of your pups! I am very intentional and attentive to my dogs, who require a lot of love and care. I prioritize their exercise, food and comfort in my routine. It's important to me that the animals I am taking care of have all their basic needs met and are safe and comfortable. I am also respectful to owner's instructions and feedback, understanding that animals have specific needs and routines.

Nights and weekends are fully available, with weekend stays offering plenty of playtime and walks to keep your pet happy and engaged. I provide a safe home environment with regular potty breaks and supervision. I only host one additional dog at a time for personalized care and follow each dog’s routine closely. My dog, coco - a friendly 35lbs Goldendoodle, Coco, makes a great companion.

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as simply watching a dog—I see it as becoming part of their little world while they’re in my care. I have years of experience caring for my own pets and dog sitting for friends and family, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m also studying Animal Behavior with an emphasis on Companion Animal Behavior, so I’m passionate about understanding each dog’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level.

I’ll always do my best to make caring for your pup as convenient and stress-free as possible. Whether your pup stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I welcome dogs into my home who are comfortable around other dogs, and I have my home set up with a variety of training and dog-care equipment to help make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the philosophy of **“leave it better than when you came in.”** I am extremely respectful of your space, your routines, and your home. I take pride in being clean, responsible, and discreet—so much so that you may come home wondering if I was even there, except for your happy pup waiting to greet you!
“Our 20-mth old Goldie took to Elise instantly, so that was a good sign. On one visit, Charlie had a really upset stomach. Elise communicated the issue and stayed a little longer to give our pup some extra attention when he (and I) really needed some extra help. Elise has been great!”

Raised in Arizona, I’ve always been deeply empathetic and intuitive with pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, abilities, and breeds—as well as my own pets, including my cat Latte—and have also looked after friends’ and clients’ animals, including a bearded dragon! I’m a transparent communicator, attentive to detail, and always happy to follow special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I live just a block away from the Golden Gate Park—perfect for walks and outdoor time. I have a fenced backyard with plants and a garden for the dogs that need an isolated walk away from the city noise. I am home full time and self employed. This means, I have availability to care for your fur babies! Let’s connect and see what makes sense for our schedules. My rate includes an extra 30 minutes of specialized care and one-on-one attention during walks or drop ins. I treat each pup like family — with personalized routines, enrichment, and snuggles.

“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!”
“Our pups were treated like Lil princes, they even got to sleep in her bed. Jill sent me daily pics and videos, and she took them to different parks in the area. When our flight was delayed, she accommodated our last minute change of plans. I love the individualized care she provided. Will definitely take the pups to her from here on out.”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“Had an amazing experience with Molly and Stephen and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They took such great care of my boy, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving, capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Timely updates, photos, and thoughtful check ins that gave me total peace of mind. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got him back, which says everything. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and trustworthy. Exactly what you hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Kobe 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“Honey had a wonderful time in their care! I received daily pictures and video so her playing and being silly. I felt relaxed knowing she was in a safe space. We met a week before the booking to ensure it was a good match, which made me feel more at ease. She was excellently taken care of and I would book them again! Highly recommend.”
“Nancy took great care of our Marty boy! Kept us informed with messages and photos throughout his stay, thank you so much Nancy! One of the best Rover experiences we’ve had!”
“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!”
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Victoria was wonderful. Took amazing care of my dog Charlie, and even accommodated me when I set the wrong end time for the booking! Highly recommend.”
“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.”
About: Hello, I’m Emily! I recently moved to San Francisco after getting married in June. My husband got a job here, so we made the move from Wisconsin and are excited to start this new chapter! I’ve always been a huge dog lover and love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have my own dog, Finn, a chocolate Lab, at home, so I know how much our dogs mean to us. I’d love the opportunity to take your dog on walks, give them some extra love and attention, and make sure they have a fun and happy time while you’re away. I’d be so excited to get to know your pup and treat them like my own! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your dog! I’d love the opportunity to help with dog walking and am happy to work around a time that’s convenient for you! When it comes to dog walking, your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure to walk in safe, dog-friendly areas, use the proper equipment, and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and behavior throughout the walk. I’ll also be mindful of weather conditions, traffic, other dogs and people, and anything else that could potentially make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ll follow any specific instructions or routines you provide and make sure your dog is secure before, during, and after every walk. With my own dog, Finn, his wellness and safety are always my number-one priority, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every dog I have the opportunity to look after. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for!
“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: 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.
