About SoMa
Dog walking in SoMa, what it actually looks like

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.
