About Haight-Ashbury

Cat sitting in Haight-Ashbury, what it actually looks like

Haight-Ashbury (Upper Haight) is the historic 1960s counter-culture neighborhood at the east entrance to Golden Gate Park, with Haight Street's vintage shops and the Buena Vista Park hilltop. Victorian flats and small condos; an outdoor-active sitter pool given Golden Gate Park proximity.

Upper Haight sitters skew creative and outdoor-active. The breed mix favors active medium-large breeds: Labradors, Border Collies, Goldendoodles, plus rescues. Golden Gate Park's east entrance is steps away; the Panhandle's designated dog play area is the daily-default outing.
