“Kate is very knowledgeable about all ages and breeds of dogs. We trust her with our brand new 4 month old rescue, 4 days in. She knew how to handle things and the right questions to ask and had some ideas to add. Highly recommend and will be rebooking her. Thanks Kate!”
2. Caroline A.
“Caroline is absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, showing up right on time. She was very patient with our dog, who is shy and slow to warmup to new people, and did all she could to make her feel comfortable. She kept us informed the entire time and sent photos and cute videos. We highly recommend her!”
3. Loren D.
“Loren was simply amazing! So friendly and competent and took our doggie on two walks a day. And I'm not talking about just walks around the neighborhood (although I would have been fine with that) but she took her on adventures! Waterdog, Coyote Point, Fort Funston...our dog was so spoiled! She earned our doggie's trust, and ours too! She left us the sweetest card and provided pics and communication throughout her stay. Would 100% recommend Loren, and hope to have her back for some of our next dog/house-sitting needs.”
4. Billie B.
“Billie watched my 12 year old Rottie for the weekend he has rarely been away from me but he did well, ate his meals which he sometimes won’t do when I’m not around. He got some exercise with their walks since he was tired when I got back. I was very happy with her care of Kaiser and would definitely recommend!”
5. Dustin C.
“Dustin is fantastic! He is reliable, punctual, responsive, and experienced with dogs. One of our dogs is a bit anxious and not warm to many people, but Dustin won her over! He sent photos of the dogs throughout the day, and ensured there were instructions for the dog. Dustin is friendly, personable and a great communicator. Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs!”

7. Kyle G.
“Kyle walks my reactive dog weekly and they quickly became bffs. He is very punctual and alert on walks, steering my dog away from other dogs. Kyle always makes sure to send me updates and photos! He is trusted with feeding my dog a special diet and giving medication.”
8. India B.
“India came to stay for one night with our rambunctious big puppy and did a great job. It was our first time leaving him overnight, but she took good care of him and the house… and she sent pics along the way. I’d hire her again! Thanks India!”
9. Lisa B.
“Lisa was amazing! So attentive and clearly gave the dogs a lot of love and comfort staying at our house. When I see turned from my trip, the house was tidy and the dogs were very relaxed with her. Will definitely hire Lisa again!”
10. Adele T.
“I can't recommend Adele highly enough for pet sitting. She is a passionate animal lover and her warmth and care for her own pets as well as others is amazing. Our pets have always benefitted from her attention and care whenever we've needed her to watch over them while we are away. Adele is responsible, articulate and treats animals in her care as if they are her own.”
11. Catherine S.
“Cat is awesome! She has cared for my little LeeLoo many times. I even left my dog with her for an entire month while I went to Europe! LeeLoo loves Cat and grabs her toys to play keepaway whenever she comes over. I appreciate all the pictures Cat sends me while away.”
12. Benji M.
“Benji is a caring, loving and skilled giver of pet care. He’s taken care of multiple neighbors, friends and family pets. He uniquely understands how to communicate with animals and is a highly responsible pet nanny. I recommend Benji’s pet sitting services.”

About: I grew up with dogs and throughout those years I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Whether it’s feeding or providing companionship, I approach each furry friend with patience and care. My special skills include recognizing subtle signs of distress or illness and creating a safe & stimulating environment. I’m currently a nursing student with flexible hours and dedicated study breaks. During breaks between classes or study sessions, I relish the opportunity to engage in enriching activities with my pets, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park or a stimulating play session at home. This structured approach ensures that my pets receive the attention and care they deserve while also allowing me to balance my academic commitments effectively. In both my own home and my clients' residences, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, despite currently not having a yard or pets of my own. Utilizing my experience with crate training and use, I ensure that pets have designated spaces where they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it's setting up cozy beds or providing ample toys for enrichment, I tailor each setup to suit the specific needs of the pets in my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to understand their preferences and any special requirements, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I've had a lifelong passion for animals; from dogs and cats to rabbits and hamsters, caring for furry friends has always been second nature to me. My pet care journey has given me experience in house-sitting, pet-sitting, and regular dog walks, primarily through recommendations from neighbors, friends, and family. My experience isn't limited to specific breeds or ages - I've nurtured both senior dogs and playful puppies! Growing up, I had the pleasure of co-raising our spirited Golden Retriever Husky mix (his name is Skye :). And through the years, I've taken on the rewarding responsibility of training him, witnessing his growth and development firsthand. As I've moved away from my family home, I miss Skye dearly and wish he could be with me from day to day. As such, I'm eager to extend my love and care to your precious fur babies! Join me in creating paws-itively memorable experiences for your beloved pets! While I am currently working in a UCSF research lab, my schedule offers a considerable degree of flexibility. I have the freedom to choose my hours, allowing me the opportunity to prioritize caring for your beloved pets. Whether it's enjoying the outdoors or spending quality time with furry companions, I cherish these moments during my spare time! Typically, mornings and evenings throughout the week, as well as weekends, align best with my availability. However, I remain adaptable and open to accommodating your needs whenever possible. Your fur babies deserve the utmost love and attention, and I'm eager to provide just that! I approach pet-sitting with the same level of care and responsibility as if it were my own home and pets. Prior to taking on the role, I make it a priority to inquire about any specific needs or preferences your pets may have, ensuring I provide them with tailored care. Rest assured, I am committed to maintaining a clean, respectful environment in your home and towards your pets. You can rely on me to follow any instructions diligently and to handle any unexpected situations with care and professionalism.

“Marci was incredible!! We came back from a long trip to find a happy cat and a spotless home. She is a cat whisperer who instantly became best friends with our usually-shy Peaky! We also really appreciated her frequent updates and excellent, proactive communication. Don’t hesitate to have Marci care for your furry pal! We would definitely love to work with her again.”
