Welcome! At Dog-Eared, I carefully hand-repair the plush toys your pet can't live without. Whether your stuffed animal needs new stuffing, a fresh squeaker, or just a few stitches, I'd love to bring it back to life!
My work is guaranteed, and I provide fast, friendly service across the Marina, North Beach, and Pac Heights. Local pickup and delivery available for an additional charge, or drop off near Fort Mason.

Some toys are just too special to tossβmaybe it's a memorable gift, a funny find, or the one thing your pet never outgrew. I learned this with my own dog, whose loved stuffies were falling apart after years of snuggles and play. Instead of saying goodbye, I decided to teach myself how to sew and returned them to their former glory. The look of pure joy on my dog's face when he got his toys back made me realize how much these little things mean to our pets. That's what inspired me to start repairing plushes for others. If your pet has a favorite stuffed animal that needs a little TLC, I'd love to help! Just send me a message, and let's keep those tails wagging!
