Wilma had a great time with Isis. She sent great updates and took good care of her.

Priscilla was great with my pups. Unfortunately both were recovering from some tummy issues so she had to feed them chicken and rice and reintroduce their normal food. All went well. She sent daily photos and updates and my pups seemed very happy.

Jennyfer did a great job watching my dog! She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated.

We were so grateful Ana was willing to watch our senior dog, Nacho, on such short notice. She took amazing care of him! She was patient and caring towards him. She was communicative, updated us about his well being and sent lots of photos. Our family feels so grateful he was in a loving place while we were away! If we travel again we would love to book again. Thank you so much!

Very much appreciated Joe s care for Sully. He was quick to respond, provide updates, and sent daily pictures. I know Sully was cared for well during his stay and had great play time with Joe s 2 other dogs. Would recommend and book again!

So kind, attentive and caring for our boy Henry, especially over 4th fireworks. Isis was a communicative and sweet caregiver!

Stephanie was wonderful with our dog! We left him for three weeks, and she kept us in the loop with photos and videos. She took him around the city, and I could tell he felt right at home the whole time. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs someone to care for their pup.

The best dog events in San Francisco
48
DogFest
Welcome to one of the biggest pet festivals in the United States! DogFest is the place to BE, with your pup by your side to enjoy a mutt-tastic, dog-themed, all-day carnival. One of the largest events in all of San Francisco, you and your pooch can enjoy a day jam-packed with pawesome activities like best Dog Show Categories ( best ears, anyone?), doggie trick performances, costumes, face painting, and a giant adoption fair! There are tons of prizes available for doggos in attendance, hundreds of canine vendors, and lots of silent auction pup treats you can win for your hound. Don't miss out on this free day full of fun bonding with your best four-legged friend!36
SPCA Costume Contest
It's pretty clear that San Francisco loves their pups, so of course that means they love dressing up their pups, too. So much so that they've created an entire day dedicated to costume-clad canines! Every year, the SF SPCA puts on a pup-tastic costume contest, offering you and your pooch the opportunity to strut down the runway. Considered more a fashion show for your doggo, you have the chance to win a ton of fabulous prizes. All proceeds from the benefit goes to the SF SPCA. Pull out those glue guns, give your pup a smooch and apologize in advance for the ridiculous costume you'll be throwing him into. You and your pup won't want to miss this epic contest!24
Dog Days of Summer
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the..dogs? We know the lyrics are something like that - but with the annual Dog Days of Summer event at AT&T Park, you really can bring your bow-wow to join you for a day of baseball fun! Not only can you and Fido feast on hotdogs while watching the game, you can also help him strut his mutt stuff in a pre-game parade and costume contest! For $90, you and your pooch can get a bleacher seat to share - but act fast, space is limited!12
World's Ugliest Dog Contest
Every year, the world gathers around (both on the internet and in San Francisco) to vote on the world's ugliest dogs - a badge these pups, and their owners, sport with pride! The contest, which is sponsored by VIP Petcare, encourages entries from homely hounds with faces only their pawrents could love. You and your pup can attend the annual contest that celebrates these pitiful puppers, watch them do a Faux Paw Fashion Show and a Red Carpet Walk. Maybe your pup can even enter the contest! Though the event sounds mean, it's really a celebration that all dogs are adoptable and adorable, despite any imperfection. Winners snag $1,500 and are flown to New York for media appearances! The event is hosted at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds every year. Take your pup to the event and be ready to fall in love with some mismatched ears, crossed eyes, and patchy furred pups.
Pet Pride Day
The Pet Pride Day in San Francisco is one of the biggest bow-wow events in the Bay! Put on by SFACC, this annual event is dedicated to pet adoptions, costume contests, K9 demonstrations, and more. You and your pooch can join the free event and hit up the photo booth, eat delicious snacks, shop around the hundreds of pet vendor stands, and even adopt new pups to love without adoption fees! All proceeds from the doggie day will benefit programs and materials that enrich the lives of the SFACC animals.
