“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!”
“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“Terry and her husband were so kind and caring. My dog is often anxious in new situations and it was so nice to see her at ease in the photos and playing with Terry's dog! I will definitely book again.”
“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
“Shelley was a wonderful host for our pup, Pepper. It was our first time leaving Pepper with a sitter and he had a great time. Shelley was attentive and accommodating of all his needs (we’re still working on leash walks and some reactivity). Shelley sent lots of updates and photos/videos of the fun adventures they had together. Additionally, Shelley was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure Pepper was comfortable. She also arranged playdates with her friend’s corgi who was a perfect playmate for Pepper. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Shelley, and Pepper came back happy and relaxed.”
“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!”
“Nathan took great care of Primo. Communication was easy from start to finish, and he sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Primo came home relaxed and happy, and it was clear he had been well looked after. We’d definitely book with Nathan again. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Eunjee was a great sitter for Bubble! Very flexible, communicative, and responsive. She sent daily photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing Bubble was well taken care of.”
“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.”
“Troi had another wonderful weekend with Annabel! This was Troi’s second stay with her, and when we dropped her off, she happily walked away with Annabel without looking back. That alone speaks volumes, especially considering Troi has struggled with boarding experiences in the past. Troi was a little mischievous this stay and managed to sneak some human food when no one was looking. Annabel let us know immediately, provided thorough updates about what happened, how Troi was doing, and the steps she took afterward. Her transparency, attention to detail, and proactive communication gave us complete peace of mind and showed just how seriously she takes the dogs in her care. It’s clear that Troi is genuinely loved and treated like family when she stays with Annabel. We never have to wonder how she’s doing because we know she’s receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. We are sure Troi is looking forward her next stay! Thanks again!”
“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.”
“Our second time leaving our dog with Wendy and I can't stress just how well Wendy looks after her. Our girl Obi and Wendy's dog Remi get along really well and enjoy long walks and endless play sessions together. Obi always comes back happy and tired.”
“Faviano provided the best dog sitting environment ever. He sent great photos, regular updates, and was flexible and responsive. He obviously loves dogs.”
“Sonia was a great petsitter, actually felt more like an instant friend. We left our three dogs with her for 15 days at felt totally at ease. She kept up on pictures and there was even a party. We will be using Sonia in the future.”
“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!”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“Christina is fantastic! She took great care of our blind and deaf dog, Taffy. Christina sent pictures, videos and messages every day while we were away. Taffy was obviously happy at Christina's house and, while she was glad to see us when we returned, we're pretty sure she's already looking forward to more time with Christina!”

“Eric was amazing and went above and beyond while housesitting for our two cats! This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad we booked with Eric. From the start, he was helpful, communicative, and had such positive energy during our meet & greet. Throughout his stay, he sent daily updates and photos. Charlie and Olive were so happy and clearly well cared for. He has great attention to detail and even remembered something I only mentioned in passing that wasn't in the house guide. As a bonus, the house was spotless when we got backs. The sheets were washed, the bed was made, and everything was tidy. Eric, thank you for your thoughtfulness, kindness, and care. We truly appreciate you! So do Charlie and Olive! And we hope that you are available for future visits (besides the ones we have already booked!)”
“XINYUAN took great care of my senior cat Tuna while I was away for a week. Everyday I would get very detailed updates on her interaction with Tina, and she followed the instructions to a T! She also promptly raised any potential health issues to me which was much appreciated (everything turned out to be fine). I was really glad to have found xinyuan and would absolutely work with her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Alex! I’m 24 and a weekly volunteer at Muttville, a senior dog shelter in Mission Creek. I’m on the adoptions team, but when I’m not meeting with prospective adopters, I help take care of around 30 senior dogs between our main floor and quiet rooms :) I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and ability. I’m comfortable medicating dogs orally, topically or ophthalmically (eye drops). I’m also comfortable administering special diets (wet/dry/natural) and regular walks. I’ve taken care of dogs with special needs like anxiety, cancer, Alzheimer’s, blindness, deafness and amputations, so if your dog needs additional care, I’m there! I grew up with a chihuahua and currently have a hamster :) I work remotely in data analytics for a nonprofit foundation based in Palo Alto, so I’m always looking for creative spaces to work from. Let me work from (your) home :) I take time to understand the routine that the dog is used to, meaning walks, feeding schedules and playtime. Because I work with senior dogs who often have special needs, I’m very mindful of diets, medications and maintaining a comfortable, safe and consistent environment. I absolutely do not believe in harsh discipline or tie-outs and am not comfortable if asked to administer this.
“Patty was awesome! She came by before we left to meet our two cats and make sure she had everything she needed to know. I especially appreciated the super cute photos + updates she sent while I was gone - it gave me peace of mind to know that someone was taking care of them.”
“Edwin and his wife Phyu were great with my cats and sent great updates. They even got my very shy cat to come out and say hi a few times. Would definitely have them care for my babies again!”
“Marianna is amazing. From the first meet and greet you could tell she is a real cat person. She has knowledge and insight on the cat behavior and needs. She asked great questions (that I didn't mention) on how to take care of our 2 cats. We were out of country for a week and we requested 2 visits a day with meds. She sent pics, she gave updates and the kitties loved playing with her. Feedings, meds and litter box was well tended to. She even offered to water the plants and gave med suggestions on our hard to medicate kitty. We had a great feel from the first meeting and never had any concerns or issues. I would definitely recommend Marianna to care for your pets.”
“Sean was so great with Fuzz! Our skittish kitty warmed right up to him and had a great time while we were away. Thanks for making him feel so comfortable, we really appreciate it!”
“Leana spent some amazing quality time with my cat and took good care of her, playing with her and keeping her engaged on the drop ins. Great photos and videos too.”
“Madison was an excellent sitter for my cat Kira. He was super thorough ahead of time - making sure that all details/logistics of the sitting experience were accounted for and that he knew where everything was. He also sent pictures throughout his stay and took it upon himself to ensure that Kira was having a good time (he set up a new window-watching spot next to where he was physically sitting in my apartment so Kira could be closer to him). I highly recommend Madison and would definitely have him watch Kira again!”
“Abigale was the best, very communicative, flexible, attentive and kind. My cats are very shy, I was shocked when she sent me photos of them out. The boys were so happy and my apartment in pristine shape when I came home. 10/10 would recommend”
“I feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of having Stephanie as a dog sitter. She is truly everything she writes in her bio. I felt so comfortable having her take care of the most precious, special thing I have ever owned (and that I worry about constantly). She’s flexible and highly responsive in terms of messaging. kind, calm, aware of pet needs in general. Trust her.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Elizabeth sit for our two cats, and she was exceptional! Her punctuality was spot-on, and her proactive communication ensured everything went smoothly. Elizabeth went above and beyond, leaving our home even cleaner than we left it. The delightful surprise she left for us at the end of her stay was the cherry on top! Daily updates with adorable photos of our kittens kept us at ease. Highly recommend Elizabeth for her outstanding service and care. A true gem for any pet owner!”
About: I have experience caring for both kittens and adult cats, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure your cat’s routine stays consistent.
“Samantha was wonderful with my two cats while I was on vacation. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She made sure they were fed, comfortable, and well looked after, and I came home to happy cats. I’d absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful cat sitter.”
“Matt took awesome care of our two kitties! They looked super happy and chill when we got back from our trip. Communication was great throughout and Matt was very flexible and accommodating. We were a new client and we Zoomed to show Matt around/instructions, which was greatly appreciated in these pandemic times. Thanks again Matt!”

“Great experience with Vanessa! She was super friendly and accommodating to my late evening pick up; made everything super easy. Her dog is also super cute and friendly.”
“Soomi was so lovely! She was very flexible, sent lots of updates, and asked often for our preferences/input. She also happily met us for a meet and greet before we booked. It was very clear our pup Pips had a great time and was comfortable with Soomi. We’d happily use her again!”
“Our 4 months old puppy had a great time with Yunhee. She spent her day care with two other doodles which made her much more confident around other dogs. We appreciate all the photos and updates Yunhee provided and we look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“I highly recommend Xinyi & Kivanc! They were super communicative and shared updates & photos throughout Pepper’s stay to let us know she was in greats hands.”
“Theresa watched Figo for a second time, and he was so happy to see her! She helped me reinforce his training in staying off furniture, which is a problem we have been trying to address for a while. Thank you, Theresa!”
“Had no regrets leaving Buzz with Eunjee & her sweetest pup Theo. She gave multiple walks and outdoor plays and gave many videos and pictures updates throughout the day! Would 100% recommend anyone to trust their dog with Eunjee :)”
“Kira was fabulous! We booked last minute for a long day and Kira was willing to wake up before the sun rose and meet us right on time. She sent tons of updates throughout the day including photos and our pup came back happy! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Sean was amazing. It was clear that he cared about the wellbeing of my dog and he made sure that I felt comfortable leaving my pup with his dog and cat. He brings a calming presence, which I’m sure many puppy owners can appreciate. It was also my dog’s one of first times interacting with a cat, and Sean handled it like a pro. He sent frequent updates with pictures and videos which I really appreciated. His dog, Opal, was also very sweet and got along with my dog really well. I definitely recommend him and would go back again next time.”
“Fabiano was super great with my puppy Taco and Taco loved hanging out with him! We’ll definitely be going back. Fabiano also sent pics and videos and communicated quickly to let us know how Taco was doing. 10/10 would recommend :)”
About: I'm often the person that folks reach out to at the last minute to help look after their dogs or kids (or kid-like dogs). I live in Dogpatch, a block from Esprit Park, and work from our spacious home there. I'd be happy to take dogs out on adventures to Crane Cove, Potrero Hill, or nearby at Esprit, or just hang out at home to keep each other company. If appropriate (and time permits), I can also take dogs hiking, to the beach, or for runs too. I volunteer as a mountain Search and Rescue member and have my WFR and First Aid BLS, although that's not as relevant to dogs. I am American Red Cross Certified for Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. I work full time, but with a very flexible schedule and entirely from home. This makes it really easy to pop out for a quick trip to the park and take breaks to play. I have a fairly spacious home and can accommodate playing indoors as well as making sure there is a designated safe home base for the dog if needed. There aren't really any areas that are off limits, but I do have the ability to add gates if needed. Lots of natural light make it a really comfy space. Our house is relatively kid proofed (in a friend brings their kid) so no other pets or hazards.
“Jenny and her boyfriend were amazing! Super flexible with drop off and pick up timing and most importantly, really great sitters -- Quinoa came back happy and tired!”
About: Stanford professional and gentle dog lover who works 5 days/week from home in South Beach Soma SF. I can only accommodate 1-2 dogs (max) in my 1-BR condo and as I build my boarding experience, giving your dog(s) personalized attention and hugs and love. If you have 2 dogs, they will totally love being alone with me in my clean, cozy condo! I send regular pics and videos to you, so you can have a happy and care-free trip/vacation! And take them down regularly for walks and bio-breaks. :) ADVANTAGES: - Small dog groups (1-2 maximum) - Personalized 1-on-1 attention - Flexible scheduling (appts and cancellations) - Convenient location (easy drop-off/pick-up) DISCLAIMER: I don’t have much experience with untrained puppies and older dogs with complex medication routines. I work from home 5 days/week and can take care of your dogs during the week and weekend (especially long/holiday weekends). I can take them for walks as often as needed, due to my flexible work hours (I barely have any meetings/Zoom calls). You can schedule drop-off and pick-up anytime during the day or night. I live in a 800-sq ft 1-bedroom condo in South Beach SoMa, in the middle of the city, easy for drop-offs and pick-ups. Cute small balcony with artificial grass, where your dogs can sunbathe and enjoy fresh air for hours. Multiple elevators for going up and down (no stairs for your dog to climb). I only wish to accommodate 1 dog at a time, but 2 dogs are fine if they are siblings. If you have 2 dog siblings, this is the perfect place to drop them off, as they will be the only dogs with me.
“Kristin is great! She was flexible and organized, and perhaps most importantly Eva was quite happy to see her and Moppy on the second day. As a bonus I got some of the best cutest pictures ever during sitting.”
“Karen gave us total peace of mind to know our pup was well taken care of and with frequent updates/pictures! Awesome communication, followed detailed instructions and went out of her way to accommodate our last minute request! Thank you so much!”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
About: I just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I have a flexible schedule and can check in on your animal throughout the day. I have experience with cats and dogs - and have 2 cats myself! I just moved to the city and my partner and I have flexible work from home hour. We would love to watch your furry friends while you’re away. I treat all animals that I watch as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities when watching your pets.

About: Hello, I have taken care of multiple friend's dogs for many years, from young and wild pups to stroller bound elder pups. Love all dogs (and cats too) Currently working part-time and other gig work, flexable/free most days and nights. Mornings preferred, but can be free at other times as well Can not have pets at my apartment, which partly why I love taking care of others. Will always look out for their safety and well-being
“Lisa was fantastic with Yuki! She was reliable, attentive, and experienced with dogs. Yuki was happy and well-exercised, and I loved getting the timely updates and photos. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”
“Maggie saved the day when I needed puppycare for a last minute trip. She went above and beyond spending quality time with Mila and providing detailed updates. Will absolutely book again! Thank you!!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals — from dogs and parrots to fish and even a turtle — so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog, Ola, was a golden retriever who lived a wonderful 14 years, and losing her made me realize just how much animals have shaped my life. For me, pet sitting isn't just about making sure your pet is fed and cared for — it's about getting to know *them*. I love learning their personalities, earning their trust, and figuring out the little things that make them happiest. Whether that's playing fetch, going for a long walk or hike, or simply hanging out together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I've also had experience caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I cared for Ola through her final days when she was no longer able to walk, and I've also cared for dogs recovering from injuries. Those experiences taught me to be especially attentive to an animal's comfort, routine, and individual needs, and I'll bring that same care and sensitivity to your family member. I work on a hybrid schedule, which makes it easy for me to spend extra time with pets on my remote-working days. I love the routine that comes with caring for an animal — their walks, meals, playtime, and excitement about the smallest things have a wonderful way of bringing structure and joy to my day. Your pet isn't just an animal I'm looking after — they're a little individual with their own quirks, preferences, and personality. I'd love the chance to get to know yours! I work a hybrid schedule with 2 days in/office and 3 days remote, so I have lots of time to shower your pet with attention, play and cuddles. On the days I’m out of the house, I’m home by 6PM because I hate the idea of a pet waiting too long for company. Since all I need is WiFi to get my work done, I’m also happy to spend the day at your home so your furry friend never has to be alone. My two bedroom apartment has plenty of cozy lounging space and I’m just an 8 minute walk from the park, so walks are quick, easy and never feel like a chore. Even when I don’t have a pet with me, I love stepping outside for a little fresh air during breaks, coffee runs or just to stretch my legs. Getting to share that time with a pet by my side is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day.
About: I have over 15 years of experience in caring for ALL kinds of animals; including both dogs and cats, and many more! I also have a special interest in plants and do very well with them. I’d love to sit for you! I am mostly working on assignments from day to day with a lot of free time and can care for animals at their own house as a home stay or I can also come and do drop ins. I have tons of experience caring for animals and homes in several different states and countries for around 15 years, and animals typically love me! I care for animals and homes as if they are my own; with love and attention to detail and respect as individuals. I follow the golden rule; to treat others as you wish to be treated. I follow instructions and wishes from clients explicitly, and if there are no instructions given, I provide excellent care based on a myriad of experiences.
About: Hi there! I'm Charlie, and I'm passionate about providing excellent care to your four legged family members. I have been working with dogs professionally for seven years, starting as a dog handler at a doggie daycare, then moving on to teach group classes for puppy training, basic obedience, and agility at a dog training facility, then specializing in puppy socialization at a local puppy dayschool! I value the comfort and wellbeing of any creature I work with, both physical and emotional, which is why I abide by force free/fear free methods. I am well versed in dog body language, have a good understanding of the principles of dog behavior and positive reinforcement based training, as well as early puppyhood development. I'm not just a dog person though - ever since I was a kid, I always had cats! In addition to having my own pet cats, I fostered pregnant mama cats and their kittens. I hope you consider choosing me to care for your best pals! I am available for walks and drop ins with pretty flexible availability, and am more than happy to drop by to love on your pet while you're at work! I care about ensuring that your pet is comfortable, safe, and happy, which is why I use force free/fear free methods in every interaction. Your pet deserves to feel comfortable with me and have their emotional needs respected in addition to their physical needs. And of course, I want your pet to have fun when they're with me! I like to keep things playful and lighthearted on any walk or drop-in. That's the best thing about pets!
“I had a fantastic experience with João! He was incredibly easy-going, friendly, and most importantly, loving to my pet. João was there for us when we needed him the most, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and more than 7 years as a professional groomer, I understand that every pet is unique. I have experience administering medications and injections and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I provide loving, dependable care and personalized attention to ensure every pet feels comfortable, well cared for, and safe.

I am respectful of every clients home and treat all pets with love, kindness, and respect. I make sure to understand every pet's routine so that they are comfortable and safe during my care.
“Yasmim’s calm and nurturing presence won the trust of our anxious dog. She has gone above and beyond for us and we cannot thank her enough for that! We’re so glad we found Yasmim.”
“Lauren was great with my dog! I wasn't worried at all about Violet while I was gone, even when she got an upset stomach and felt sick. Lauren communicated well, asked good questions when I showed her the ropes, and clearly responded to Violet's needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: - Frequent volunteer at Muttville, senior dog shelter. - Family dog is a coton de tulear. I was his main care taker and recently moved, so I miss him a lot! - Very active. I play a lot of sports so I love walking and playing with dogs. I’m currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility to take a break and walk your dog, especially during the morning or my lunch break. I have a lot of experience with walking dogs, especially senior dogs who are more sensitive to their surroundings and other dogs. I am happy to adjust depending on the owner’s preferences and to make sure your dog is safe and happy!
About: Hi, I’m Chelsea! 🐾 I’m currently in college and I’ve always loved being around dogs and spending time outdoors, and I’m happiest when I have a furry friend by my side! I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for the past 5 years as a dog handler, where I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m familiar with positive reinforcement and basic dog training, and I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every pup. I’m also a proud dog mom to my own pup! 🐶❤️ I enjoy taking my pack on walks around the neighborhood, exploring new places, playing, and enjoying plenty of quality time together. I’ve also done pet sitting and dog walking in the past, which I’ve really enjoyed. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, cuddles, or a little extra attention, I’d be happy to help! 🐾💕 My schedule helps me to be more flexible with setting up a time for dog walking/ care taking. I am open to working with others schedules. When I have taken care of a dog I always make sure to speak with the owner first. I like to get to know the family and the dog. I like to make sure I have everything prepared for when I do pet sitting and walking.
About: I am a huge dog lover! I've had family dogs growing up and also had two dogs of my own, including a puppy! They don't live with me anymore, and I love a dog’s presence so I'd be so happy to love on your dog and give them all the attention. Our days would consist of walks around the neighborhood, random adventures to coffee shops/bakeries/parks, or we could simply be couch potato’s depending on their energy and physical capacity. I work full time on the weekdays, but can adjust depending on your pup and their needs. Please let me know ahead of time! On the weekends I’m free and can be fully present :) I also have a pup cam, so when I’m at work I can monitor them and come home immediately if I see anything of concern! I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment with an outdoor patio. The area I live in is filled with dog-friendly areas and parks. I am very attentive, observant, and read a dog’s body language pretty well! I’ll provide lots of attention and love. No need to worry or stress, they are in good hands!
About: I am my friends and families go-to sitter. I grew up with dogs of my own and have experience with both big and small dogs. I work full time, but am available on week nights after work and weekends. I work remote a majority of the time, so I have added flexibility to care for your pet. I am patient and friendly, in addition to being incredibly active. I would love to run with you dog if they would like that, otherwise I am happy with long walks and playing fetch. I have a canine good citizen certified dog whom I trained myself. She is friendly with all animals and would be a good companion to any furry friend. I work full time, mostly remote. This allows flexibility to give your pet the attention that they deserve during the day. I am active (walks/hikes/runs) at night. I have a super pet proof home, with only the most indestructible toys. I have plenty of dog beds, a crate (two if needed!) and a private fenced in dog park for fetching/playing.

“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
“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.”
“Sonia was a great petsitter, actually felt more like an instant friend. We left our three dogs with her for 15 days at felt totally at ease. She kept up on pictures and there was even a party. We will be using Sonia in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“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.”
“We absolutely adore Lala, and our pup Savo feels the same. This was the second time we boarded with her, and our pup bounded up to her doorstep in excitement. She makes us feel so at ease when our pup is in her care, and we love seeing everything he’s getting up to through her regular text and photo updates. Highly recommend, your fur baby will be in great hands!”
About: I just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I have a flexible schedule and can check in on your animal throughout the day. I have experience with cats and dogs - and have 2 cats myself! I just moved to the city and my partner and I have flexible work from home hour. We would love to watch your furry friends while you’re away. I treat all animals that I watch as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities when watching your pets.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but am back home usually by 5:15. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
“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!”
“Vanessa took excellent care of Biscuit. She was very communicative and he developed a solid bond with her and Kenzo in the short time that they were together. Highly recommend and would have no hesitation rebooking with Vanessa.”
“Zubin did an amazing job with my dog Dino! He went above and beyond when Dino was having some bad allergies and went to the pet store to get special shampoo for him and bathed him! He was super communicative and sent lots of updates throughout. I could tell he was in good care :)”
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.
“Yuyi and her daughter were so sweet with my kiddos. She’s very responsive and even sent pictures and provided check ins so I would know how their stay was coming along! Will definitely be back!”
“Alina accepted my boarding request very quickly and was amazing at communicating how my puppy was doing during her stay. Highly recommend Alina for any of her services ☺️”
