I live in a safe and dog friendly part of San Francisco (Lake Merced /Lakeshore) with my two spayed female pugs. Because I’m semi retired, I have lots of time to spend in the company of dogs. My warm home is fully fenced with an enclosed yard. We go on two or three walks around my quiet neighborhood plus nearby Stern Grive Dog Park half a mile away, hang out and watch TV together. My girls sleep on my bed. I’d love to exchange dog care. My two adorable pug half sisters are a bonded pair, a yin yang combination of naughty and nice. Sunny is my active little black pug with of pep and energy. Sunny is also happy to chill and relax. She tends to hang out on her own on the bed or couch but is happy to get belly rubs and cuddles. Flair is my fluffy puff of classic pug love. She is very affectionate and loves to hang out on your lap. They are also SG Giants and Golden State Warriors fans and allow me to yell and scream at the TV. Typical pugs, they love food but I will limit treat intake.

Hi, I’m Cindy and I’m a new dog mom to Cole, who is a rescue pup from South Korea. Cole is a Korean Jindo mix and was found with his 5 siblings and mama behind a factory in the middle of winter. We usually take Cole out 3x a day. He’s potty trained, very food motivated, knows all the basic commands (sit, stay, wait, leave it, drop it), doesn't bark much or at all, and does really well with other dogs (doesn't bark at them, even when they're barking at him). Since he’s a rescue, he does have a lil bit of stranger danger with people, but will warm up to you if you have snacks and give him some time. If you wanna know more about Cole, he has an Instagram (@colethewaisikpup).

Doogie & Fawnsy

SF, CA

  Breed: Chihuahua

  Weight: 15 lbs

  Age: 5 years old

  Gender: Male

  Breed: Chihuahua

  Weight: 10 lbs

  Age: 3 years old

  Gender: Female

My boyfriend and I live in Daly City and have two small Chihuahuas. They are rescues and are rather special. Doogie is very fearful and shy, but he is treat motivated. Fawnsy is fearful at first, but becomes a firecracker full of energy and loves to give kisses and attack your face. We've had family watch them several times and Doogie basically hides/sleeps all day. Fawnsy takes a full day or so to warm up to new people, once she's more comfortable she's got way more energy than Doogs and likes to eat bones, play with her squeaky toys, and give cuddles. Neither dog does great with other dogs and can become defensive/loud and somewhat nippy. They do fine with dogs that are similar in size and ignore them. We are happy to host your small dog in return! Paul is in law school and spends about 60% of his time at home and the rest on campus. I work from home 3 days a week and 2 in office. If hosting your dog we would not leave them alone ever, especially given our dogs unique temperaments/personalities.

Benny

SF, CA

  Breed: Rottweiler

  Weight: 100 lbs

  Age: 4 years old

  Gender: Male

Hi! This is Benny. He's a 95ish lbs Rottweiler, not neutered (yet! we're waiting for him to finish growing) male. He's very friendly with people and other dogs (with the exception of other intact males), and he grew up with kittens and rats so he gets along well with other animals as well. He's just over 2 years old, so he's still a bit "puppy-brained" in that he can get overexcited and forget his manners a little bit, especially when meeting new friends, but he loves to cuddle and play. But he's very food motivated and easy to train and redirect as well. He does tend to pull on a leash, we're working on it, but we walk him with a Halti and it really helps. My husband Jonathon and I recently moved from Iowa. I grew up on a farm around a lot of animals and have lots of experience and am very comfortable with large and small dogs. We are in an apartment but there's large grassy areas for walking and dog parks close by. We are located by Lake Merced/Stonestown/San Francisco State University

He does rest on his dog bed as a chill zone. Any dog we host needs to be friendly to kids (ours are 12, 16 and 18) and tolerate cats (our cats will ignore or may hiss and run away). We live in San Francisco and have a large fenced in back yard where the dogs can play. We are also in a very walkable neighborhood and close to a dog park. We are open to host for dog play dates and short term over night stays.

I would do better in a residential area or suburb. I'm super friendly with people and great with kids. I'm pretty chill at home. I rarely bark at home, but I will give off the cutest whistle when I am seeking attention. My foster mom is willing to drive anywhere in the Bay Area for someone to take care of me and she will gladly return the favor when she can!

  Breed: Goldendoodle

  Weight: 40 lbs

  Age: 4 years old

  Gender: Female

Hi there! My name is Virginia and I’m you’re average stereotypical Sam Francisco millennial dog mom 😂 I grew up around dogs and am a self proclaimed dog nerd that loves learning about doggy behaviors, mannerisms, and positive reinforcement training techniques. After many many years of puppy sitting for coworkers and family pups, I finally got my own dog a couple years ago! Fast forward another year and now my partner and I have two dogs that we love and adore 💙 We’ve spent a lot of time puppy sitting and always give the same care and attention to other dogs as our own and are always kind full of play styles, behaviors and making everyone as comfortable as possible. While we live in the city in an apartment, we make it a point to make sure our own dogs and any guest doggos get the exercise they need with adequate potty walks, and afternoon break, evening park time or a walk, and a nighttime break prior to ample cuddles in bed. We’ve hosted furiends in our apartment as well as apartment/house sat elsewhere and are comfortable with both depending on what is best for everyone and what makes sense for the situation. Our dogs are both doodles with their own quirks and so we love and understand any quirks that come with yours as well!

Diana Tseng

SF, CA

  Breed: Australian Shepherd

  Weight: 45 lbs

  Age: 3 years old

  Gender: Female

Hi there! My name is Diana, I live in the Castro in SF with my red merle Aussie named Tallulah. She is a high energy dog with a big appetite for all the snacks. Her favorite game is tug and we love to find a nice grassy field or wide open beach where she can run to her heart’s content. Otherwise, you’ll find us beginning our agility career at Golden Gate Dog Sports which has been a great way for her to channel her energy. As a herding dog in the city, Tallulah struggles with reactivity towards strangers and other dogs - she just wants to make new friends! This has made me a much more attentive dog handler, and I spend a lot of my free time learning about R+ training and managing Tallulah around her triggers. It’s helped us develop a really strong relationship! I would be happy to host other pups, including reactive ones, in my home. Tallulah does best with other dogs who love to play as well. I can host dogs who are fully house and preferably crate trained as I do not let multiple dogs freely roam the house when left alone. I also have a backyard where the dogs can play together!

  Breed: Formosan Mountain Dog mix

  Weight: 45 lbs

  Age: 9 years old

  Gender: Male

My husband and I are looking for someone who would like to swap dog sitting services in our homes when we travel out of town! Hoping we can find a likeminded match so we both can gain peace of mind knowing our pups will be loved and well taken care of when we travel. We live next to a small park that we go to every morning and evening and we also take one longer off leash fun walk in Golden Gate Park which is 2 blocks away. Sawyer is a Formosan Mountain Dog mix and he’s generally very easy going. He loves hiking and is energetic on walks, but he’s super chill and sleepy at home. He’s almost 9 years old so he doesn’t really like to play with other dogs and prefers a dog buddy (as well as humans) who is on the calmer side and who will respect his personal space. He’s not a snuggler but will gladly accept butt scratches!

When we aren’t at the office (M, W, Th) you can find us playing ball in GGP, exploring buena vista park, or strolling around the neighborhood. Sydney is extremely friendly to people and dogs (although she can be a solo operator and usually prefers a game of fetch to playing with a friend). She’s also been professionally trained and is extremely well behaved (good in the car, alone, on transit, in the office, etc.). As she gets older, she’s learning to appreciate a good sniffy walk almost as much as a day running around at the beach.
