Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Western Addition

About: Hey, I'm Taylor! Loving animals is not my whole personality, but it's close. I've been taking care of dogs big and small since I was a kid, and done more serious pet sitting and walking for friends & neighbors since 2017. Pictured is Wheezy, the love of my life: a half Boston Terrier half Pitty I rescued around 5 years ago and nursed back to health. Holler with any questions! I am a journalist and work weird hours! Generally available for afternoon and evening walks both week days and weekends on a case by case basis!. I have a fenced garden area where my pup loves to tromp around. I also live very close to Alamo Square Park, where we love to walk and play if you're comfortable with your pup being social. I've trained Wheezy to return when off-leash but never let other pups off leash without owner permission. In the home, I've got a large crate if needed.

“Caitlin treated our kitties like her own during our 2-week vacay! She noticed our dry food feeder running out and helped us refill it when we totally missed it ourselves. She left detailed notes and lots of pics/videos each visit so we know the kitties are doing well and enjoying her company. Thank you Caitlin!!”

About: I spent eight years as a veterinary assistant and now share my home with a 14-year-old blind Parson Russell Terrier who needs daily medical care. I’ve owned JRTs my whole adult life. Senior dogs, high energy dogs, dogs with health conditions: I’m familiar and comfortable with them. I’m a runner and active walker, and currently have time in my schedule to walk or drop in for pets in my vicinity (Alamo Square and surrounding areas). I am a creative/tech professional currently transitioning into independent consulting/project-based work. This gives me a highly flexible, self-managed schedule, meaning I am home most of the day and can provide your pet with consistent companionship and a structured routine. I am blocks from Alamo Square, and other parks in NOPA, Panhandle, Lower Pac Heights, and Western Addition. I love getting steps in and can take it easy for seniors or get some beans out for the energetic ones. I also have a fenced backyard if needed.

“Monica is amazing! This was my first Rover experience, and I’m so glad I chose Monica. She is incredibly flexible and responsive. I greatly appreciate her time and care. Would definitely book again!”

“Olesia was wonderful- easy to communicate with, helpful, on time, and very sweet to my kitty! Would love to book with her again! Thanks Olesia!”

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a San Francisco-based pet sitter with a background in healthcare, which makes me especially comfortable caring for pets with special needs, medications, or anxiety. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including shy or temperamental pets who need extra patience and a calm approach. I understand how important routine is, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Pet parents often tell me they appreciate my attention to detail and communication—I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to following all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent care, playtime, and companionship. I’m also responsive and able to provide updates during visits I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I’m reliable and comfortable administering medication when needed, and I have experience caring for shy or anxious pets, always approaching them with patience and respect for their space. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s environment, and I make sure everything is secure during each visit. I also provide regular updates so you feel comfortable and informed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority.

About: You know how you have that one friend who loses their train of thought when they see a cute pup down the street? That’s me. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t want to pet! Though, to be fair, I have an affinity for all animals. Having grown up with Rottweilers, I have a soft spot for “scary” breeds (that we know are actually the biggest lovers) and have the most experience with reactive dogs, including walking and socialization. Our own pup, Miso, also gave me an honorary dog nurse degree. He had a chronic disorder that required strictly timed medications and meals, so if your pup needs extra attention in that regard, I have ten years of experience making sure pets are feeling good! Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy this past December, so Rover doggos help fill the big hole left in my heart. I hope I get to meet your pup(s) soon! I promise, we will have a blast together 🐶 I run a company where I make my own schedule and work from home 80% of the time. I also live couple blocks off Golden Gate Park and would love to explore the trails with your pup! I have a spacious apartment, a few blocks off the park. Whereas I don’t have a yard, the limit does not exist for the number of walks your pup may get at Golden Gate! There are no other animals or children at the apartment; however, there is a carpeted flight of stairs to get inside.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind; from growing up with a with a mastiff, a hound, and a pitbull mix around the house, to fostering young pups with Muddy Paws, to working with Pet Rescue to place foster dogs in their forever homes. I recently moved from the east coast where I was actively involved with dogs of all shapes and sizes and I'm missing having them in my life! I know how important it is to have confidence that your dog is left in capable, communicative, and loving hands and I can't wait to get to know your four legged family member. I’m currently working part-time and from home which means that I’m available around the clock. I live a very short walk from Alamo square; so there is ample green space to tramp around. I'm also an avid runner and MORE than happy to go for runs with your dog as part of their care. I don’t currently have any dogs in my home, I said goodbye to my hound mix of many years last year back when I was living on the east coast. I have a fenced in driveway area where your dog can happily hang outside safely in the sunshine and am extremely close to a park.

“Maria did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was super communicative and gave great updates and pictures, and gave my cat lots of pets and love--when we came home our cat was happy and in a great mood thanks to Maria's amazing care. Thank you again Maria!”

“Katie is amazing - my kitties love her so much and are always well cared for! Katie communicated quickly and lets you know if anything comes up and goes above and beyond to make sure pets are taken care of and happy. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and have been dog sitting for the past year, so I have plenty of experience. I work from home, which gives me flexibility for multiple walks and attention throughout the day. I’m home all day and live very close to Alamo Square Park so dog sitting/going for walks fits into my schedule super naturally on a daily basis. I don't have a private yard as I live in an apartment, but other than that it's very safe and a perfect space for a small or medium-sized dog. My apartment would unfortunately be too small for a large dog.

“When I met Joslyn I instantly felt her warm and positive energy. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat Flora. It was not an easy job because Flora has experienced extreme trauma and she is an elderly cat. Where others would have given up, Joslyn was patient and not intimidated by Flora’s stressed demeanor. She took her time and slowly took the necessary steps to ensure she received the care she needed. I appreciated the videos and photos she took during each visit. She even brought in our mail and packages while we were away. I highly recommend her and plan on connecting with her in the future if I need cat sitting.”

“Thank you Mya. We really appreciate you taking such great care of Finley at the last minute! He is happy to have a made a new friend. We will definitely reach out to you for any future needs! -Ed and Noël”

“Angela took great care of my boys while I was away for a weekend trip. My doggies are usually pouty when I leave them for more than a few hours and they acted like I never left! Angela was also great with communication and very prompt to respond.”

“Denise was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly communicative throughout her time caring for our sweet fur babies, sending us lovely updates and pictures that truly put our minds at ease. It was clear how much care and attention she gave to them, and we came home to happy and well-loved kitties. We couldn’t have asked for a better catsitter and are so grateful for her dedication. Highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like their own!”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I walk our family’s senior dog daily, taking him through the neighborhood parks and on beach walks at Crissy Field. I also walk my aunt’s golden when I visit and have experience walking a neighbor’s small dog when they were out of town. I have fostering experience, having cared for a two year old German Shepherd for two months. During that time, I took her on daily walks, administered her medicine, and helped her socialize with other dogs. I also fostered a nine week old puppy for two weeks, providing weekly baths with her special shampoo to address her skin condition. My background includes caring for dogs at different life stages and handling special needs, making me a reliable and compassionate caregiver for your furry family members. Pet care is a fundamental part of my daily routine. I walk our senior family dog at least once a day, typically in the morning or midday, and again in the evening or at night. These walks help ensure he gets regular exercise and companionship, fitting seamlessly into my daily schedule. I have a small backyard where pets can enjoy some outdoor time. Additionally, I have a friendly senior golden retriever who can keep your dog company and provide socialization and comfort. My approach to pet care, prioritizes, safety, trust, and creating a calm environment, whether in my home or yours.

“Great sitter, very communicative and came home to happy cats!”

“Lauren goes above and beyond for my kitties and they love her! I always feel comforted knowing she is caring for them while I am away. She keeps me in the loop on how they are doing, sends great photos/videos, and also lets me know if there is an issue at home. I could not recommend her more. Thank you, Lauren!”

Alyssa P.

“Sanaz did an amazing job taking care of my cat Oshi! She made me feel so at ease while I was away with tons of pictures and little notes each day! I would absolutely book her again! Thank you Sanaz for taking such good care of my baby! 😊”

“Trin did an excellent job with 2 drop-in visits to check on my 3 dogs. She was confident and composed managing all 3 dogs and provided timely and detailed updates. Very professional and easy to work with!!”
