About SoMa

Dog sitting in SoMa, what it actually looks like

SoMa (South of Market) is the tech-and-condo-tower neighborhood south of Market Street, anchored by Yerba Buena Gardens, South Park (the original Twitter neighborhood), and Oracle Park stadium. Mostly high-rise condos and converted loft warehouses; the densest concentration of tech-worker pet owners in SF.

SoMa sitters skew tech-worker with hybrid-RTO schedules. The breed mix favors small-medium condo-living dogs: Frenchies, doodles, Cavaliers, Yorkies. Booking pattern is heavy mid-week (Tue-Thu) daycare and drop-in for owners commuting to SoMa offices.
