Overnight Pet Sitting

When people travel, it can be hard on the animal members of the family. Studies show that many pets are most comfortable in their own surroundings when their owners travel; it is the least disruptive and completely eliminates the risk of illness or accidents that can occur in kennels. Other pets desperately need more companionship when their owners are away; these pets fare much better in a safe environment that includes people all the time and other animals to interact with if possible.

At The Barking Station, we are equipped to handle all types of pets. Whether we care for your animal friend in your home or ours, we pride ourselves in providing the special loving care and attention all pets need and deserve. And, to give you a break, we offer free pick up and drop off for San Francisco clients when you bring your dogs to our home.

In Our Home Pet Sitting - $40 a day per dog Let your dog come and play at our big house with a huge back yard, dogs have access to people and the whole house all day long. Daily walks and excursions to San Francisco's parks and beaches. We feed twice a day (evening and morning.) Dogs are crated only when they cannot be supervised, bed time and feedings.
