North Beach Pet Sitter

My frenchie died under the care of this dog walker service. She apparently «over heated» — which they say was due from the «walk» and a hot day. Just make sure you ask about how long they keep the dogs in the car when picking up other dogs. She was 4 years old. No previous medical or breathing issues. I don’t know how a dog goes into organ failure from over heating from a walk. curious if it’s happened to other dog owners.

My baby love has been walked by Victoria and her team for a couple of years now and she absolutely loves them. I’m sad to report that we are moving in a couple of weeks and will no longer be able to use them. Fortunately for me, Victoria helped me find a new company in my new neighborhood. I highly reccommend Victoria for your pet care needs!

I am just thrilled with North Beach Pet Sitter. I have a small dog and he gets to run with other dogs his size. He is living the good life while I am at work. Tessa, Victoria, Liz and Team always answer my calls and texts. I know my dog is safe. I am a new dog owner and was so happy North Beach Pet Sitter was recommended to me. Mango thanks NBPS too!

i was thrilled to read the great Unilocal reviews for north beach pet sitters. like most dog moms who are outsourcing their doggie care for the first time, i’m completely stressed about finding a safe, reliable, trustworthy and friendly dog walker.
i emailed victoria last week to ask about her services, rates, etc. it’s been 4.5 days, and i haven’t gotten so much as a response to my email. this does not bode well in my book. when it comes to anything dog-​related, i expect prompt responses. anything short of that makes me question one’s reliability, trustworthiness and commitment to my dog.
so, the search continues…

This review is way overdue! As I’ve been using North Beach Pet Sitter for almost 6 months now.
They are simply awesome. Not only do they get the basics right:
a. My dog is picked up on-​time everyday
b. He’s returned happy and pooped!
c. The rates are very competitive
But they go above and beyond:
a. When I travel and my dog stays at a friend’s place, they happily pick him up from there
b. If I’m stuck late at work, and need a second early evening walk, they’ll happily do it
c. They’re responsive! That means, they respond to me really quickly, and with great responses
The only negative is that I’m pretty sure my little guy likes NBPS better than he likes me! But I’ll settle for that downside as long as he’s happy, safe, and healthy.

North Beach Pet Sitter is the best dog walking service out there! They are a group of hard working, reliable, & wonderful dog lovers who will take great care of your pet! We used them for about 1 and a half years for our German Shepherd dog, Bear and couldn’t be happier. I would still be using them except we moved out of the city.
Bear got tons of excercise and had lots of fun in the walking groups. I highly recommend using them!

I have used North Beach Pet Sitter for over three years now and have always been thrilled with my experience!!!
They greet my pups as if they were their own. Unlike other services that I have used my dogs are kept out for 1 ½ — 2 hours. I sometimes work from home and have had other dog walking services bring my dogs home after only 20 — 30 minutes.
My dogs are always very happy to see their walkers and can’t wait to socialize with their four legged friends. On a few occasions I have been emailed or given photos of my dogs while they have been out with North Beach Pet Sitter.
Last year one of my dear pups died and while he was sick I received a nice note card signed by all of the walkers and another when he passed. A few of the walkers even reached out through email and phone calls to see how I was doing.
We all have many dog walking options, but if you want a service that you can trust to come into your home, trust with you pet and someone who you know will love your animal almost as much as you then you need to call them!!!

Victoria and the whole crew are amazing. I’ve moved around a fair amount and hers is the best dog-​walking service I’ve ever used. They treat my Aussie Husky mix Lachey like she’s family.
They’ve left treats for Lachey, they’ve arranged overnights on very short notice, they’ve called to me tell me about some peeing issues which turned out to be a UTI, they’ve invited us to holiday parties (doggy pictures with Santa!), and they’ve walked my girl day in and day out with never a hiccup.
I can’t say enough great things about North Beach Pet Sitters. They are A-​W-​E-​S-​O-​M-​E!!!

A Tired Lab is a Happy Lab! Thanks from my dog Mason and me for doing such a great job, way to go Tessa!

Victoria and her team walk ZEUS 4 – 5 times a week. They are awesome and really do care about each individual dog. I’m glad I was able to find such a dependable and reliable crew.

Do not use this pet service – I canceled my service with them after just one day (10÷2÷08). Tessa, the manager of this company, picked up my 4 mo. old Boston Terrier for a lunch time walk in her puppy group and left my apartment door open all day. My apartment door has one deadbolt and no other lock or latch; without the deadbolt locked my door opens at the slightest breeze and was several inches open when I came home at 6 pm. My dog was not there. I thought I had been robbed. I had no phone messages. I immediately checked with my apartment manager and neighbors to see if anyone saw someone in my apartment and if anyone saw my dog. Before calling the police, I called Tessa 2x on her cell phone but she did not answer (when we met she said she always answers her cell phone). I left two more messages on the North Beach Pet Sitter main phone. At 6:30 pm, a different woman from North Beach Pet Sitter returned my puppy; she said she was returning it for Tessa (4 hours late, door open and no phone call from Tessa). She said a large dog (or dogs) interfered with Tessa’s puppy group and dogs had to be found/​retrieved. How many things can you find wrong with this situation? If you value your dear pet or your property, never use these people! –Corinne Murphy

I can’t say enough about how great Victoria and her employees are! I was really nervous about having someone come into my house and walk my puppy (3 months old at the time). I really didn’t want a dog walking chain to do it, but then I heard about Victoria. I wouldn’t trade her for anything! She has helped us out of so many binds. Most importantly, she loves our dog like her own. We are going on 2 years now with her and plan for many more. Thank you North Beach Pet Sitters and 5 stars for you and your team!!!

best dog walkers ever. they are communicative, love what they do, and take extra good care of my pup. the staff is well selected and has developed a really strong relationship with my pup, my dog waits by the door each day and comes home satisfied and exhausted. they run a great pet sitting service.

Victoria and her team are amazing! I moved here from NYC and was struggling trying to find the right dog walker due to my crazy work schedule. The moment I met her, I knew my dog, Samantha would be in safe and playful hands. Overall, I can’t say enough WONDERFUL things about Victoria!!!
North Beach Pet Sitters are top notch because:
1) They truly play with your dogs and treat them like their own. I have never seen my dog SO happy to see Victoria and her team of dedicated walkers.
2) Your dogs will spend LOTS of playtime outdoors in small, manageable and consistent play groups.
3) They are AMAZING in times of emergency. My dog got sick and Victoria literally stayed with her for hours just to make sure she was okay. Victoria also called and left me check in messages to keep me from worrying, without me even asking.
4) When I have had fire drills come up at work which required late nights very last minute, Victoria always made it a priority to have someone check in on my dog or pick her up for day care until I came home so she wasn’t stranded for a long period of time without a walk or playgroup.
5) Victoria and her team not only will love and care for your dogs, they truly are friendly, reliable, responsive and flexible with you … this I have found in both NYC and SF to be a very rare thing.
6) MY DOG JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVES HER AND JEN!!!
7) MY DOG JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVES HER AND JEN!!! I had to write this twice because my dog literally whimpers on those occasions I have picked her up from Victoria’s place from day care.
Without a doubt … hands down … best dog walking service in the city!!!

I can’t rave enough about North Beach Pet Sitter. Victoria and her team are amazing, and I can’t imagine what I’d do without them. I moved to San Francisco from Texas, and didn’t really know what to do with my dog during the day. My hours at work can sometimes be very long, and also live in a studio. Of the companies I considered, Victoria was the most responsive and easy to work with. As it turns out, becoming a client of hers has been a great decisions for multiple reasons:
1. Her rates are affordable and reasonable.
2. The dogs actually play for an hour, and with transportation, they are out for longer.
3. She and her team are very responsible with the dogs, maintaining safe play as a priority. She’s very careful about letting new dogs play off leash until they are ready and are good with recall.
4. They make a genuine effort to care for your dog beyond just provide play groups everyday. They leave notes, pictures, birthday and holiday treats, and even have a holiday party for all the dogs to get together!!!
5. Victoria & company are great for emergencies too, and they also offer over night pet setting.
I LOVE VICTORIA AND HER TEAM!!! More importantly, so does my dog. He waits at the door everyday at the same time because he’s so exited about his play group. I should also mention that my dog is super hyper and is now better behaved.
I’ve been a client of Victoria’s for about a year and have every intention to stay with her. At the holiday party this past December, I met many of her other clients, and its obvious they feel the same as I do. If you’re considering a dog walker, she and her team are the best!

Victoria and team at North Beach Pet Sitter truly love dogs and it shows! My girls love all the walkers they have — almost more than they like me!!! As long as I live in SF, I’ll never trust my dogs with anyone else.
In addition to the dog-​walking service they’ve gotten me out of a bind on many occasions… if I’m stuck at work and the girls need to get out they’ll swing by and let them out. If the girls are sick and can’t make it to ‘class’, they’ll come by and take them out separately.
It’s a huge relief knowing my girls are being treated so well. I never have to think about it!

Victoria and the North Beach team are absolutely terrific! This team is loving, smart, trustworthy and super caring. We have 3 dogs and this team is terrific with all of them… from our demanding old man to our crazy ball catcher to the younger clueless one!
I trust them completely and my doggies love them. Victoria runs a great crew and throws a super good christmas party for them too (the dogs, that is)!!

*note — this review will be useful and possibly cool but not in the least bit funny*
Hey guys.
You all know how I feel about Willie, right? I love the little guy and wouldn’t allow him to be with anyone I didn’t absolutely trust. Well I trust Victoria and her crew at North Beach Pet Sitter. While they only walk him once a week (it’s good for him to get out and socialize with a pack of dogs every once in a while) I have a couple of close friends who use them twice a day and are also thrilled with the service.
Victoria has also been great at adding Willie to her walk schedule at the last moment– if I know I’m going to have a rough day at work or need to hit happy hour right after (daddy likes his drinkie) I can call her morning of and they’ll pick him up that afternoon.
I definitely recommend North Beach Pet Sitter when it comes to you and your pet… after all, I wouldn’t let any woman handle my Willie if I didn’t trust her.

Victoria, Joey, and team at North Beach pet sitter have been Audrey’s walkers for over a year. They take her to Chrissy field and let her run with her friends and swim. Then they drive her home and say farewell and I come home to an «empty,» exhausted mutt flat out on the floor.
A few times I was home sick and hid in the bedroom when she was getting returned, feeling very «nannycam,» I just listened to see if Audrey was dropped home in a nice manner. She was! They actually said good bye to her, toweled her off, and sometimes gave her a treat. They even remembered her birthday and left her a little treat and a card!
We’ve had walkers turn out to be not so responsible, but when I see Victoria in the morning walking her own THREE mutts (that she lovingly adopted) I know she can handle it and takes a lot of care. Plus Audrey runs up to her with utter glee when she sees her. I trust these people and don’t worry when Audrey is with them, this is very awesome thing to have.
We’re moving out of the area, so Audrey will be missing her NB pals, but we will highly recommend them to anyone with a playful mutt who wants peace of mind while their dog plays.
Walks run about $ 20/​per.
