A San Francisco dogsitter snatched a client's pup over the weekend — and never came back.

On Saturday, the victim had asked his friend to watch his German Shepherd puppy for the day. The friend said he couldn't do it, but he knew someone who could.

Desperate for a dogsitter, the man followed his friend's referral and paid another man to care for his dog at his house  on the first block of Broderick Street for the day.

But when the victim got home, he found both the caretaker and his sweet pup gone.
