A local edge

Local know-how pays off in San Francisco

Microclimates run cold-and-foggy in Inner Sunset and warm in the Mission within the same afternoon. SF sitters layer for the Outer Avenues and watch for foxtail grass burrs at Fort Funston and Crissy Field.

When demand peaks

Tuesday-through-Thursday daycare and drop-in demand spikes in lockstep with the city's hybrid-RTO calendar. Boarding peaks during ski-week (mid-February), spring break, and the September-to-November conference-travel window.

What does house sitting involve?
