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.
“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.”
About: I've taken care of family and friend's pets over the past 2 years, becoming a trusted sitter known for taking them on adventures! When I'm with a dog, we go on long walks, hikes, and runs together. I am a teacher looking to sit on weekends or during school breaks! I am available for boarding and walks Friday-Sunday, but I have a lot of flexibility around holidays due to my job. I have no other pets so yours will get all the attention! I do not accept pets when I am working so we will have a lot of time together. My apartment has a small yard for quick potty breaks and I love going to a park to play.
“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!!!”
“My pup had a great overnight stay at Julie's! Pick up and drop off was very smooth and she was a great communicator/quick responses. Will definitely be booking 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!”
“Taylor did a great job watching Tootie. This was my first time leaving her with someone she/I did not know, and he did a great job, making me feel calm and comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of. I loved the picture updates each day. I would definitely work with Taylor 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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“There is no one I trust more than Martin and Robert to watch Lucius (not even my own family!). They are hands down the absolute best. They take such good care of my 8lb 9 month old Shih Tzu and send updates and photos throughout the day. My pup absolutely loves them and he always comes back to me clean and well fed and brushed. He isn’t the easiest pup to take care of but Martin and Robert always give him the attention he needs and more. I was able to truly have a stress free weekend away because I knew Lucius was well taken care of and loved. When I picked Lucius up after two days away, he had to run back to Martin and Robert to give them a puppy kiss goodbye before we hopped in the car, something I’ve never seen him do! He absolutely adores them. Thank you, Martin and Robert!!”
“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!!”

“Jennifer was a great sitter! We had a last min issue with someone else and when I reached out to Jennifer, they were quick to respond and schedule a meet/greet. They were always on time, reliable, and sweet with our cat Remy. Thank you!”
“Trae is so kind and the dogs loved him! He has amazing communication skills and went above and beyond for our fur family. I’m definitely using him again for our boys! Thank you Trae!”
“This was my very first time leaving my kitten Birdie and I am so grateful for Kara & Val!! Birdie was immediately welcomed in as part of their family and was showered with attention and playtime for the entire weekend. I was more than a bit anxious leaving my baby but Kara was so reassuring and felt much more at ease leaving Birdie in her care. I appreciated all the regular updates and pictures, which helped calm my nerves while I was away. Will definitely be booking Kara & Val again!”
About: I grew up around pitbulls, and have had the pleasure of owning two beautiful boys. I provided them with lots of attention, walks, treats, and care. I am comfortable with big dogs and know what it’s like to take them on walks. I have also taken care of my abuela’s poodles, so I have experience with smaller dogs as well. I am also very familiar with taking care of cats! I have catsat for my friend’s multiple times. One was a kitten and the rest were adults. I just now have a cat who is about 3 months old so I provide him with lots of stimulation and cuddles! I am in between jobs so I am available throughout the weekdays. I usually break my day up with walks throughout, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am a very patient person and know how to provide care and love to all animals. I will take the time to get to know their personalities and interests so that they feel comfortable and excited around me. I am also good at following routines so that nothing feels out of the ordinary!
“Nicole was amazing with our cat Mando. He felt at ease right away. You can tell Nicole has a sixth sense and knows what cats want/like. Looking forward to her next visit!”
“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!”
About: I've been a cat owner for the past three years and currently care for an older cat, which has given me firsthand experience with maintaining routines, monitoring health and behavior, and understanding the unique needs of senior pets. In addition, I've cared for cats for family, friends, and clients over the years. I understand that every cat has a different personality. Some are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach and their personal space. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, play sessions, and providing companionship tailored to each cat's comfort level. As a professional climbing coach, reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication are central to my work. I'll treat your home with respect, follow care instructions carefully, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“Sabrina did a wonderful job caring for our senior kitty. She was able to get our sometimes-picky eater to take her medicine, and provided thorough updates on how our baby was faring. Thanks so much!”
“Hannah provided excellent care for our cats and shared thorough updates. She asked questions when there was confusion with my instructions and I can tell she really cares about taking care of cats. I I would recommend her to my friends and would book her again.”
About: I have my own 3 month old kitten! I’ve also raised two other cats from kittens, and have had many roommates with cats of various ages. I didn’t really grow up with cats, but I cat-sat for a friend for the first time when I was 17 and fell in love with them! :)
“Anastasia took care of my cats like they were her own. I could tell by the videos and pictures that my cats were very happy and really loved when Anastasia stopped by. We have one cat that’s very scared of everything. Anastasia was very sweet with her and by day 2 she was warmed up and loving the attention. Will 100% book again with Anastasia!”
“Veronica did a great job of taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She kept up with wet food, meds, and cleaning litter box. I think my cat really enjoyed the time with her and wasn’t so lonely.”
“Lisa took great care of our cat while we were away and was able to accommodate our last minute request. I highly recommend her if you need someone for drop in visits.”
About: Hello, I’m available to walk your dog and/or check-in on your cat. I have my own dog and cat. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks or to parks, like I will yours. I love cats, playing with them and petting them. I can change their litter and any other task needed.

“Amanda and Steve met for a doggy park meeting beforehand and I knew they could be trusted from there. Amanda took great care of Missy and was very communicative the entire time. I revived many pictures where Missy looked very happy. Missy got along great with Amanda’s pup too! I will definitely book with them again!”
“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!”
“Lei did a great job keeping me updated on Donny's activities during his stay. He got a lot of attention and came home tired, which is always a good sign. Thank you for taking good care of Donny!”
“Flora and William are just the best in every way! They were so communicative from start to finish, sent great updates, were receptive and responsive to my crazy dog sitting guide and, most importantly, Sunny came home happy (and sleepy!)”
“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: 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.
“Alicia has been watching our dog weekly for us over the last month and we couldn’t be more thankful for her! Our dog gets so excited when we approach her place and I can tell Alicia takes the best care of her :)”
“Aaron was so intuitive with our somewhat selectively social dog. I could tell he knew how to work with dogs immediately. Aaron also was east to coordinate and communicate with. Quincy can’t wait to stay with Aaron again!”
“Gabrielle was able to take Bullet last minute. Super flexible with the drop off and pick up time. Bullet loved staying with Gabrielle and Patrick!”
About: I grew up in a cat household but have had my pup for 12 years since she was a puppy. I love all animals and have grown particularly fond of small dogs since my dog was gifted to me 12 years ago! I only work 3 days a week and on the days I’m home, I’d love to care for your small dog! My girl is used to dogs visiting and I am happy to love on your baby like my own! Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I never allow them in the backyard without supervision and is not a substitution for regular walks every 2 hours (or more as needed). Also, I am a human nurse so I would be comfortable with administering medications as necessary!
“Danielle continues to be our go to for dog care! She is SO communicative, takes affordable photos of the pups, and gives them plenty of love and exercise. Danielle goes above and beyond for our furry family and know she would for you also. 10/10 recommend. Thank you always Danielle!!!”
“Jesse took wonderful care of Berry, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I could tell that he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. He kept me updated throughout Berry’s stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I will definitely book with Jesse again.”
“Logan had a great time and he was taken for a nice walk In the Palace of fine arts I was a little late getting back from my concert but Brady was pretty cool about it I certainly would recommend”
About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.
“Ivy was super communicative and took so many pictures for us! It looked like our little dog got along great with Ivy and her daughter. I would definitely recommend Ivy!”
About: Here to provide a happy and safe place for your dog to stay while you are away. Our house is myself and my 6 year old Aussie mix, Belinda, live blocks from GGP, Ocean Beach, and just a quick drive to Chrissy Beach. Our morning always starts with a beach or trail walk before coming home to relaxing house vibes. We live in a single family home with large full sun backyard with level access to den furnished garage for dog hang out space, otherwise house is fully accessible with work from home energy. We are looking for 2+ year old dogs over 30lbs or more - all dogs must be spayed or neutered and have basic obedience. Our typical routine involves off leash walks and expect dogs to have strong recall and able to be walked on voice control trails. Expecting dogs that can maintain low indoor engergy between active routines for early and end of day 40+ min walks utilizing local nature around Richmond neighborhood. Daily activity routine is commonly a mix of; - Morning beach walk at OB, Chrissy Beach, or Fort Funston (40-60min) - these are typically off leash where allowed but always ensuring a good run about, recall skills are expected. If not comfortable on leash walking can be supported. - Midday neighorhood walk (15-30min) - Local walk around the neighborhood to get sniffs and some movement in - End of day park/beach/trail walk (30-50min) - Depending on day and weather; GGP, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, Funston etc are used end of day walk. To ensure this is a good match for all the dogs (and people) involved, please make sure when you send a booking request, please update your dog's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to insurance policy, we can't accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Chow, and Rottweiler). Looking to ensure the dogs have a great time and owners feel good about your time away and trust a safe and fun enviroment is being created for your pet. 1) Is your dog able to be walked off-leash on trails where "off leash under voice control" is allowed with reliable recall response? Recall is when verbal or singled command is given dog returns to comfortable space to either leash or hold based on situation. Belinda and I walk regularly off leash at allowed areas and want to ensure we do not endanger your dog or other's while being off leash together in these areas. 2) Does your dog have any known separation anxiety tendenceies? Either when away from people or when left with other dogs? This could be expressed through whining, barking, destruction of property etc? If so - is your dog crate trained to provide comforting and secure place when errands or other normal life activities are required during stay. 3) Does your dog have watchdog mindset of barking based on common stimuli like footsteps outside, unknown voices, garage doors opening/closing? A space that may have other dogs and work from home activities this type of energy can be stressful to all and may not be an ideal fit. 4) Following a walk, is your dog still "full of energy" - ensuring the energy of the space is maintained during stays, generally house in in relaxing/focused mode between large walks with dogs and humans respectively. 5) Does your dog have any destructive behaviors (shoes, sock, furniture, etc)? Is your dog potty trained? 6) Is your dog comfortable being with multiple dogs? While total dogs are limited to 4, including Belinda, this can still be overwhelming for some dogs and want to make sure this space is the right potential space for your dog. 7) Let me know any other details you think would be helpful to know about your dog - general routines, favorite activities, known reactive situations, possives with toys/treats etc. Schedule typically starts early around 6:15-6:30 for potty and food - then longer morning walk. From there mid day walk is optional based on schedule for the day and how the dogs are doing, large backyard always availbale. End of day another longer walk before dinner and evening hang time, second walk typically never repeats first walk of the day. House has large fenced backyard and one female dog who loves her beach walks, fetch, and hanging with other dogs. Only looking for dogs that match similar energy and get along with others. We want this to be a safe place for all and dogs to delight and owner's to be worry free while your dog stays with us knowing they are being loved and cared for well while here.
“Mikele did a great job with my senior dog Sandy. She was kind, communicative, and took lots of pictures. This was my dog’s first time doing doggy daycare. Mikele provided wonderful care and answered all of my questions.”
“Gage was great with Ziggy during his first week of daycare. He takes the dogs on several walks throughout the day and even brought them to the beach one day. He sent lots of photos and provided detailed updates on how Ziggy’s day went. Overall, Ziggy was very well cared for, and I’ll definitely continue using Gage.”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights.

I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.
“Trae is excellent! He's prompt, respectful, and gentle with my sweet dog, Evie. Evie needs lots of exercise, and Trae was happy to run the majority of the 30 minutes! He respects my feelings as well as Evie's and is an overall great partner in seeing to Evie's enjoyment of the outing.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them! Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and family, both in my home and theirs, and I have also worked as a dog walker for a reputable company in San Francisco, so I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just need a little extra TLC.

About: Hi everyone!! I am a recent graduate of USF and an SF native. I'm especially well versed in puppies, as I have been a puppy foster for the SFSPCA and an in-shelter puppy volunteer for 8 years. I have two dogs of my own! I love working with dogs and I am also able and confident in socializing puppies to set them up for success and healthy adulthood —along with helping puppy and new dog parents! I am flexible throughout the day and week as I am currently preparing for grad school without other obligations. I also am pretty knowledgeable about walking spots and parks in SF so I would make sure your pup has a fun, enriching time! I’m very good at following directions with feeding, medication, as well as other needs that the pup has! I’ll be in constant contact with updates if needed—the safety and security of pets is the most important to me!
“Great working with Derrick. He was flexible when we needed to make changes and great with Ollie. Hope we’ll see him again when Ollie needs a walking buddy. Many thanks”
“Bryan is great adapting to the needs of our two dogs. Bryan did a thorough meet and greet and our girls came home happy and ready to relax after each walk. Bryan is patient, calm, and so easy for humans and dogs to be around.”
“Aaron provided excellent care for our dog Honey. He walked her 6x over 2 weeks. Honey was timid the first couple of times, but Aaron was very patient with her while the trust grew. He’s very communicative and flexible which is greatly appreciated. We’ve already booked him for the next time we need dog walking services!”
“Samuel did a great job walking Chase every day for a week. He was very communicative and responsive setting up meet and great, and stopping by to pick up instructions and keys. He sent photos of Chase each day on their walks. I would recommend Samuel for dog walking.”

I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic medications, litter box maintenance, and providing attentive companionship. As a professional climbing coach, safety, reliability, and communication are central to my work, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a professional climbing coach, I maintain a structured schedule and place a high value on reliability and clear communication.

I treat clients' homes with the same respect and care that I would my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to changes in behavior. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners.

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.
“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.”
About: I've taken care of family and friend's pets over the past 2 years, becoming a trusted sitter known for taking them on adventures! When I'm with a dog, we go on long walks, hikes, and runs together. I am a teacher looking to sit on weekends or during school breaks! I am available for boarding and walks Friday-Sunday, but I have a lot of flexibility around holidays due to my job. I have no other pets so yours will get all the attention! I do not accept pets when I am working so we will have a lot of time together. My apartment has a small yard for quick potty breaks and I love going to a park to play.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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 🤍🐾”
“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.”
“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.”
