“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!!”
“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!!!”
“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. ”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Sarah and Andrew enough! They took absolutely amazing care of our dog Remi. They were so intentional and caring, taking him on walks and sending us regular picture updates. Remi also got to play with their adorable dog Goji and their lovely kiddos. He had a blast and felt right at home in their cozy house. Overall, they went above and beyond, and I’d give them a ten out of ten! We’d definitely trust them with Remi again.”
“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!”

“Duygu did an excellent job caring for my cat. She’s very sweet and nice, my cat loved her. She’s very thoughtful and she did everything I asked for and more. She will be the first person I ask to watch my cat again.”
“Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!”
“This was my first time booking with Ronnie and I absolutely would again! Ronnie did drop-in visits with my two cats while I was out of town. She was a great communicator and sent photos and a written update every day. She was helpful, professional, and kept my cats happy & engaged while I was away. Thank you, Ronnie!”
“Again, Wei was spectacular. Will use again and again. Her videos and pictures are just what I need when I’m away from my beloved cat! Honestly, top notch care. You won’t be disappointed.”
About: I’ve always loved cats! I’ve babysat a friend’s cat for an entire month and have experience administering liquid medicine. I’m super tidy and will make sure all their food areas and litter boxes stay clean! I have my own kitten, Kona, who I very much spoil. :-)
“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!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and I currently have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I’ve also helped pet sit my parents’ cats and dogs over the years when they’ve been away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and just hanging out with pets and keeping them company. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’d treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat mine and always send plenty of pictures and updates! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week! I’m available Monday through Friday and can usually work around your pet’s normal routine and preferred visit times. I’ll always follow whatever routine and instructions you leave for me and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I’m careful about doors, feeding, walks, litter boxes, and anything else they need, and I’m happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away.
“Miriam was fantastic! She took the time to listen and learn all about the needs of our cats and their prescription diets/special feeding requirements; she was communicative, flexible, and understanding. She was able to provide not just basic care but also enrichment and quality time at each visit. Would highly recommend!”
“Nebula is a special cat and can be finicky, so it was wonderful that Mikele took such great care of her! I felt totally comfortable and confident with Mikele taking care of my family! Thank you!”
“Jade is AWESOME. I'm a first time Rover user and Jade made everything feel so comfortable and safe for us. She sent daily pictures of our kittens and really went above and beyond for the week we were gone. I feel lucky she was available the week of Thanksgiving. Thank you Jade!”

“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’m a reliable and gentle cat sitter who takes the time to understand each cat’s personality, habits, and needs. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or a senior, I’m comfortable adapting to their routine and giving them the attention they’re most comfortable with. I’m happy to handle feeding, playtime, litter care, and medications while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I’ll also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured that your cat is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m a huge animal lover, but cats have a special place in my heart. I had 5 different cats growing up and two of my own as an adult. I understand the nature of cats and how to treat their unique personalities. I’d love to meet yours!
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Emily to visit our cat 2x/day for a few trips now. She’s great for all the basics, good communicator, adorable pics, totally reliable. But really what feels different is that my cat seems more relaxed and comfortable when we come home. We were concerned about booking drop ins only for a 10 day trip since we have a needy cat and he’s been upset in the past. But he bounced right back into his normal routine and I totally think the time she spent to hang with him made a big difference. I look forward to many more bookings. Thank you so much Emily!”
“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: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life so I have extensive experience caring for them. Now I have 3 dogs (2 pugs and a pitbull) that I walk, feed, and spend time with everyday so I’m definitely cut out for the job! I may be an extreme dog person but I do also have a cat and I have cat sat before. I am not currently employed elsewhere so I would be able to put my full time and attention into aiding your cat or dog! I’m typically available most days of the week especially in the afternoon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to know that your pet is safe so I can confidently ensure you that safety is my top priority while handling your pet.

“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.”
“Sam did a fantastic job caring for our 7 month old puppy! She clearly knows a lot about how to work with dogs and puppies. She was extremely communicative and sent us several photos and videos. Thank you, Sam!”
About: Love all dogs, but only want small dogs as mine are small. Dogs must be house trained.

I teach drawing a couple hrs a day so will be home 21 hrs a day and have a large fenced in yard if your dog wants to play. I have two elderly pups so your dog would have company. Our dogs are our kids, and we will treat yours the same. Your dog has to get along with others to work well here.
“Great experience with doggy day care. I appreciated how Ronnie managed the handoff and walked him immediately to get him comfortable with her and her dog, and also sent pictures of the afternoon.”

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.
“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: 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.
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. With my knowledge in dog behavior and positive reinforcement, your pup will always feel safe, understood, and supported!

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.
“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.”
“Danica was a dream to work with! She was flexible, professional, and a great communicator. Biscuit can be a little bit nervous with new sitters, but she clearly put him at ease with her kindness and calm energy. She sent tons of updates, photos, and videos. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with Danica and will absolutely return to her in the future.”
“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!!!”
“Sherian was great! We so appreciated the photos and messages she sent to let us know how our seeet pup's day was going, and he was in a great space when we picked him up. Five stars!”
“We’re so happy to have found Vivian on such short notice. My original dog sitter called out sick and I needed someone to look after my fur baby the very next day for a few hours while I took my toddler to the zoo. This was our dog’s (Bodie) first time doing doggy day care in someone else’s home, and Vivian helped relieve my anxiety and Bodie’s. I received lots of photo updates of a happy pup. I’ll definitely go to her again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Bob and his wife are amazing guardians for the dogs in their care. I feel like my dog is seen and catered to based on his unique personality. It’s a wonderful gift to know that my dog is playing at the beach, going on walks, hanging out with other dogs, and getting snuggles all day while I’m at work and school.”

“Dave is wonderful with our high energy poochie girl! He is reliable, friendly, and provides great photos and reports on her walks! We feel so lucky to have found him!”
“We needed a dog walker at the very last minute and Duygu came through to save the day. She was very attentive and great with communication. Last but not least, she was very very patient with our dog Miso and she ended up winning her trust. Looking at the pictures, she really took care of our dog and we would not hesitate to hire Duygu again to care for our Miso.”

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.
“Emily and Thomas were great with our dog Gracie! They came to walk her daily for a month while my partner was out of town on business. We highly recommend their services!”
“Sherian was really great, she gave me reports about things I needed to know while I was away. Very good with our senior girl Wendel-Penny and made sure she was walked and comfortable. Thanks for everything!”
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.

“Page was so great with our dog Bagel - Bagel was super excited to meet her and tired after their walk. She was on time, and very communicative as well which I appreciated. Thanks Page!”
“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!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an innate love for all dogs, big or small, and the feeling was always returned. I grew up with two Bichon Frises, Summer and Rosie. While you are away, I send daily photos and updates for extra peace of mind. I want your time away from home to be worry free. I believe that personal, one-one-one time is essential for the well being of all animals. While I am with your animal/s, strict adherence to daily routines will be followed to allow for an easy transition once in my care. If any emergencies should arise, I am extremely communicative and will try to reach you to rectify the situation. If you are not available, I will call your required emergency contact until the issue is resolved. I am also always available in the event you need to reach me, and will always keep you updated the whole step of the way. Before a booking is accepted, I offer a free meet and greet to ensure that all parties are acquainted and that everyone gets along. I will not accept a booking without first conducting a meet and greet, as this is essential to the safety and care of all parties involved. I look forward to taking care of your dog and making new friends :). I’m currently working at a veterinarian hospital. I’m allowed to bring your dog into work with me. I’d take them out every 2 hours for a potty break. I work 4 days a week. **VERY IMPORTANT** Due to recent changes at work, I'm no longer allowed to keep your dog in the front with me. They would be in a kennel, but I would take them out many times during the day. I live in apartment, so I don’t have a closed yard, but I live next to fort funston and lake Merced. My apartment building is very quite.
“Jill is exceptional! She always on time picking up Biscuit for his walk and is very communicative. She sends us updates with photos that we love. We cant recommend Jill enough :)”
About: For me, dog walking and sitting isn't just a job—it's a passion. There's something truly special about spending time with these amazing animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and building bonds that last a lifetime. Whether it's exploring new trails during walks or cozying up together for some quality snuggle time, every moment with a furry friend brings me pure happiness. So, if you're looking for someone who's not only experienced but also genuinely loves what they do, you've come to the right place. Let's make some unforgettable memories together! I’m also a photographer, so you’re guaranteed lots of excellent photos of your little one. (Or big) 😉 I’m a film street photographer by trade and walk a lot! I love going on hikes with dogs, and or around neighborhoods in the city. Photographs are my specialty! I love leaving you with a tangible memory of your little loves. "Hi there! I'm Noel, your friendly neighborhood dog walker and house sitter. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for your furry companions are my top priorities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, treating them like the little friends they are.

With experience in overnight stays, I ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your beloved pet. Let's create wonderful memories together!"

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 🤍🐾”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was incredibly thorough and went out of her way to ensure both our dog and us were comfortable with her, her family, and pets. We got plenty of photos and videos while we were away which is great for peace of mind and knowing he was having fun. Best of all, our pup seemed sad to leave Cynthia and her family which spoke volumes to us about the care she provided while we were gone!”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“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!
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
