1. Ingyin M.
“Can’t recommend Ingyin & her partner enough! They took such great care of our dog, Cheddar. He is very anxious when he meets new people and they were so patient with him - by the end of his stay, he was fully out of his shell and so happy. Ingyin sent us plenty of photos, videos, and updates of them playing and hanging out, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. We plan to book with them again in the future :)”
2. Gabrielle & Patrick C.
“Gabrielle and paddy were amazing with Frida and kitty. Frida is slightly obsessed with Paddy and considering she’s shy and nervous this was huge feat. They took such lovely care of our girls and we will definitely be having them pet sit again and again in the future.”
3. Sam G.
“Sam took great care of my dog, Neeli. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. This was Neeli's first time with any sitter, and she felt very comfortable at Sam's place. We would definitely use her services in the future.”
4. Rachel & Benjamin K.
“They helped my anxious pup settle in and sent lots of updates throughout the day/night. I will definitely try to connect with them in the future when I am in town!”
5. Jamie Y.
“Jamie is awesome! She loved on my doggies like they were her own. She reassured me throughout the time I was gone and sent me photo updates. She’s super communicative and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!!!!!”
6. Derek & Solip "Stella" T.
“We had a fantastic experience with Derek and Solip taking care of Arlo for the weekend! They were super communicative, accommodating and easy going. They also gave frequent updates including photos and videos. Arlo had a great time and we will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”
7. Rajni B.
“We decided to give Rover a try for the first time after having a bunch of negative experiences boarding in San Francisco. Rajni was absolutely amazing in every way. She took such great care of my dog and also made sure to ask multiple questions to make sure that she kept his schedule as close to normal as possible. She took him in so many wonderful walks and also captured incredible pictures to send to me daily. Even on the days that I was busy and wasn’t able to ask many questions about my dog, she still texted me and gave me updates, which I appreciated so much. She’s definitely going to be my go to every single time I’m out of town!”
8. Kevin & Kayla K.
“Kevin and Kayla were great! We went on a three week vacation, the longest we’ve had to leave Penny with a sitter. But it seemed like Penny forgot all about us based on the pictures they sent :). That made us feel a lot better knowing that she wasn’t as sad as we thought she’d be and in very good hands. Kevin and Kayla were both very communicative and sent us lots of updates and pictures, which any pet parent would appreciate. I would highly recommend!”
9. Jaden L.
“Jaden was so communicative and such a pleasure. It seems Wilson had a great time with him as he’s wiped out sleeping (which is a rarity)! Thanks so much!”
10. Ashma B.
“Ashma came to the rescue when needed a last minute sitter for our high energy pup Zoe and exceeded every expectation. As an anxious dog mom I can say that Ashma’s updates and care for Zoe immediately put me at ease. I am so thrilled to have found her and can’t wait to have Zoe stay with her in the future!”
11. Alicia L.
“Alicia was a fantastic dog sitter. She sent us great photos and it was clear when we got back how comfortable and happy our dog had been while we were gone. We have a fit bark that tracks our dogs activity and we could see how much attention and great walks she was getting while we were gone. Alicia also went above and beyond and washed our food bowl and sent it back cleaner than it arrived.”
12. Alyssa T.
“Alyssa did a great job watching our border collie- she was available for a last minute visit and really did quite a lot in a short time with our dog- took her for walks and played with her- sent tons of photos and updates as well- will definitely use her again in the future”
13. Judy C.
“I couldn’t think of a more amazing dog sitter than Judy! We were so fortunate to be referred to her by a friend in the city and that she was available for a full week. She watched our large labradoodle and treated her as if she was her own dog giving her so much love. We got so many photos and check-ins to let us know our girl was doing good. She even went above and beyond when our girl had an upset stomach and made her multiple homemade meals. Judy will be our go-to anytime we’re out of town! We can’t thank her enough.”
14. Brandon J.
“Brandon was great! I received updates and photos every day. He took great care of our Charlie. Brandon was also very accommodating with our schedule. I would definitely use his service again!”
15. Kevin J.
“Kevin was great with Harvey! Provided lots of pupdates both pictures and videos”
16. Timothy C.
“Timothy was great with Ruby. During our first initial meeting with him, my partner and I felt comfortable and that Ruby was in the right hands. Even her brother, Maui, liked him. We appreciated the updates he sent during the middle of the day of her stay with him, which gave us ease that Ruby was doing well.”
17. Christine & Mark C.
“Christine and Mark were great - we hope we get to work with them again in the future. They were able to take Charlie with just a few days notice. We got photos/videos during his stay and he was clearly happy. Thanks so much!”
18. Bruce P.
“Bruce is the first person we reach out to whenever we need a dog sitter. He's absolutely the best, and our dog Bodhi adores him. Very easy to communicate with, extremely professional and reliable. When we pick Bodhi up he has the biggest grin on his face, and we always know he was well cared for and given endless attention.”
19. Liubov M.
“Liubov is great with taking care of my dog, who is pretty anxious in new spaces with new people. She does a wonderful job of making my dog feel calm and comfortable. Liubov also sends me regular updates of photos and videos of my dog and is so communicative of how my dog is doing overall. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter for their pet!”
20. Cesar C.
“Cesar did a wonderful job with my dog. This was the first time my 8 month old had ever been left with someone new and Cesar was very patient and made my dog feel very welcome and at home. I look forward to working with Cesar again in the future!”

What makes San Francisco a great city for dog owners?
Whether you call it SF, The City by the Bay, or just San Francisco, there's something about this city that dog owners love to call home. With all of the amazing parks and ocean views, it's no wonder so many pet parents enjoy living here, and there are plenty of loving Rover dog sitters in the city who'd love to spend some time with their pups. When visitors are in town, San Francisco dog owners love showing off landmarks like Alcatraz and Lombard Street or popping down to Pier 39 for some trendy eats.
Which San Francisco parks should I visit with my dog?
Looking for a place to blow off some steam with your pup? San Francisco has some truly incredible dog parks. Bernal Heights Dog Park is a scenic 35-acre, off-leash dog park that provides amazing panoramic views of the city. Fort Funston Dog Park is a fun place to visit, but keep in mind it's also frequented by horseback riders, gliders, and bicyclists. This next park is notable for being a resting place for hundreds of species of migrating birds, which is reason enough to visit! It's Pine Lake Dog Park, and it's also full of great hiking trails and a dedicated off-leash section of the park for your dog. Located in the Diamond Heights neighborhood, Glen Canyon Dog Park is 35 acres of beautiful wooded trails and canyons. For the ultimate in dog-friendly recreation, be sure to check out Duboce Dog Park. Dog walkers love this park, and there's even an annual DogFest held there to celebrate man's best friend.
Which neighborhoods in San Francisco are good for dog owners?
Alamo Square features Victorian architecture, including the iconic painted ladies homes seen in many depictions of the city. Balboa Park, sometimes referred to as Mission Terrace, Cayuga, or Ingleside, includes the soccer-specific Boxer Stadium. In Eureka Valley, there's The Castro, where you'll find rich cultural history in Harvey Milk Plaza, and slightly up the hill, the Pink Triangle Park on 17th Street at Market.
