Dog Walking Downtown

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I also have experience caring for a dog with fear based aggression and anxiety. I worked closely with our veterinarian and a behavioral specialist, including medication management, 1:1 training and learning how to recognize triggers and help him feel safe. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency and meeting each dog exactly where they are. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, medication and care routines, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I’ve always given my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m typically up around 6am and am available for morning walks, midday breaks, playtime, meals, and evening walks. Since I’m home throughout the day, I can provide plenty of companionship and adjust to your dog’s usual schedule and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m naturally attentive to details, changes in behavior, routines, and overall wellbeing. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, activity restrictions, and behavioral needs. I also have experience caring for anxious and fear-reactive dogs and pay close attention to body language and comfort levels. My home has a private, fully fenced outdoor patio, which gives dogs a secure space to get fresh air and relax between walks. Pets are welcome to settle in wherever they feel most comfortable, and my goal is to provide a calm, safe, loving environment that feels like home.

“Amazing is all I can say. Very personable, and easy to work with. Absolutely great with our pup, and swore her out on their walks. Um sure she will miss her walks with David. I can not recommend David nore!”

About: I have grown up with dogs (border collies and rescues) but they have always been a huge part of me and my family’s lives. They are part of the family and a huge commitment. I am excited to meet you guys and to see how I can help support you and love on your fur babies! They deserve all the love! I have given plenty of meds, baths, walks and butt pats. Also super willing to help reinforce any training that you are working on. I am starting a new job at a hotel in Yerba Buena. They do have 8 hour shifts that I don’t believe I can run out and check on your pet on as they’re only 30 minutes and I walk to work (I do have a car though). I do not have a set schedule but can always try to request a certain shift to work with your schedule I always treat them like my own! I want to be respectful of anything you might be working with your pet on or any set procedures. I am always willing to learn something I may not know but I just want you to feel supported and be of assistance while also loving on your pet (because they are great and deserve all the love [when they’re behaving haha])

About: I grew up around all sorts of pets including my own (chocolate labradoodle!) - but in my adult life I haven’t been in a life phase for my own pet yet. I’ve pet sat for friends for both cats and dogs and am often the first call when friends go out of town, because they know I’d always love more pet time. I’ve also trained a family member’s very energetic PWD. I work remotely on Mon and Fri and I generally get home from work around 4:30pm. I am happy to fit pet care in as needed and take long walks every day and would be happy to have a dog along with me! I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for family members. I am comfortable taking care of a pet and am very respectful and mindful in others spaces. I also have experience dog walking and am very mindful of dogs around others.

“Thank you Olesia for watching our boys! You were absolutely amazing!!! You kept is updated with photos and messages and followed all our instructions perfectly. I know our high energy puppy is a lot of work! Thank you again.”

About: I have had a dog for the past 13 years and have years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. As a pet mom myself I understand how important it is to have the peace of mind that your fur baby is being loved on, paid attention to, and taken care of well. Whether it’s on a walk, a drop in visit, whatever you need your pet will be my first priority, your fur baby will be in good hands with me! I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accommodate drop in visits and walks through the week days as well as weekends. I’m here to accommodate your schedule as best as I can! Your pets safety is of the upmost importance to me. As a pet mom myself I understand these babies are your world and will always take care of keeping them safe whether that’s out on walks, returning to a crate back at home, taking precautions for pets who like to bolt, etc. they will be in good hands!

“Elric was great with my dog! Definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dog walker. He was also super responsive and was able to help me out last minute. Also provided updates throughout the walk. Thanks Elric!!”

About: I’m a passionate dog lover and the proud owner of a sweet, medium multi-gen Doodle who is incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. My dog is fully socialized and loves making new playmates, meaning your pup will have an instant best friend and built-in playdates during their stay! ​I truly believe dogs are the best things in the world, and I treat every guest pup with the same love, structure, and attention as my own. Whether it’s active playtime, cozy cuddles, or maintaining their daily routine, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time in tech, which means my weekdays are generally busy. However, I am happy to host weekday boarding for small, independent dogs who are comfortable relaxing nearby while I work. ​My weekends, on the other hand, are entirely dedicated to dog adventures! Since I spend my weekends hanging out and playing with my own friendly dog, Monday, your pup will get undivided attention, plenty of outdoor time, and a built-in playmate. If you need weekend boarding, daycare, or walking, please reach out—I'd love to help I live in a cozy, dog-friendly 1-bedroom apartment near SF City Hall. It’s the perfect, secure size to comfortably host up to two dogs at a time, ensuring everyone gets plenty of personal space and one-on-one attention. We also have a wonderful, trusted group of local dog-owner friends nearby for safe, supervised socialization. ​Safety is my top priority. My home is fully dog-proofed. While my own pup is fully free-roaming, I keep a clean, extra-large crate on hand. If your dog feels more secure sleeping or resting in a crate, I am more than happy to set it up to make them feel right at home.

“Margaux is incredibly reliable and treats my dogs with care and patience. My pups always come home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands.”

“Carolyn is nice, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She walked my dogs every day at least once per day (occasionally booked for twice per day) for about 1.5 weeks while I was at work. I would book with her again.”

About: I am a responsible, experienced dog/cat owner-lover and will treat yours like my own. I was raised in a family that had dogs including 3 dachshunds, a mutt, and a chow over the years. As an adult I have been the loving pet parent to three adult cats consecutively. Very comfortable around cats and dogs. Available for dog-walking, cat/dog drop-in's, and daytime extended stay drop-in's / house-sitting (no overnights). I have worked remotely for over ten years so have a very flexible schedule. Walking your dog or visiting your cat would be a pleasure and a chance for some fresh air and exercise. I do this for supplemental income during my free time and the opportunity to visit different neighborhoods. I am available daytime hours, not overnight (mid-morning til before sunset). I will give your cat or dog as much or little attention in your home as you (or they!) specify. Reliable, trustworthy. Not able to care for your pets at my home.

“Elena was great with my pup! She took my dog on a walk every day for almost a week while we were out of town. She took great pictures and communicated well with us! She followed all my directions and made sure my dog was safe and taken care of. And my pupper didn't mind all the extra treats, too! I highly recommend Elena!”
