About Russian Hill
Cat sitting in Russian Hill, what it actually looks like
Russian Hill is the steep-stairs hilltop neighborhood north of the Marina. Lombard Street's famous switchback hill, the Larkin Street cable car climbing past Edwardian flats, and a tight residential grid with sweeping Bay views from the top. Walk-up Edwardian apartments dominate; few yards but stunning rooftop access is common.
Russian Hill sitters specialize in small-breed bookings (most Edwardians have steep stairs and elevators are rare). The breed mix favors Frenchies, Yorkies, Cavaliers, and small doodles. Many sitters carry small dogs up the steeper sections of Lombard rather than fight the grade with a leash.
