In your apartment
For pets who do best in their own surroundings, care can take place in your home. We'll agree on meals, walks or litter care and the time needed for your pet's routine.
This option requires key access. Key handover and return are coordinated privately before care begins, following building procedures—not through the inquiry form.
Overnight pet sitting
A weekend away or a longer vacation starts with a plan for your pet. $300 covers a full 24 hours, including the night. Share your departure and return times so we can agree on the schedule, setting and how you'd like to stay in touch.
Dog & cat routines
For dogs, we'll discuss meals, walks, temperament and familiar comforts. For cats, tell me about feeding, litter care and whether they prefer company or a little space. Care is agreed around your individual pet, not a standard checklist.
Only need a walk? See dog walking at SoMA and in FiDi. Medication, health details and access are discussed privately rather than on the form.

Questions
Before you ask.
Do you offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting?
Yes. Both dogs and cats are welcome to inquire. Tell me about feeding, walks or litter care, temperament and the setting you prefer so we can discuss a suitable arrangement.
Can I book a pet sitter elsewhere in FiDi or near the Seaport?
Yes, you can inquire from elsewhere in the Financial District or near the Seaport. SoMA is the main focus; your location, dates and care needs are reviewed before availability is confirmed. Please share only your neighborhood in the initial form.
Can I choose where my pet stays?
Yes—let me know whether you prefer care in my SoMA apartment or in yours. We'll discuss your pet's needs and confirm the setting together.
How do keys and access work?
Sitting in your apartment requires key access. Handover and return are arranged privately before care begins, following building procedures. Don't share codes, access instructions or unit numbers in the form.
Can you give medication?
Mention that you need to discuss medication when you inquire. Any suitability and instructions must be agreed privately before care is confirmed; don't send medical records through the form.
Does 24-hour care include the night?
Yes. $300 covers a full 24-hour period, including overnight care. Share your planned departure and return so we can agree on the start and end times.
How much notice do you need?
Ask as early as you can. Availability is confirmed personally, including for last-minute requests.
What if there's an emergency?
We'll privately discuss your vet details, an emergency contact and your wishes before care begins.
