Dog Walking Financial District

About: Hi there! My name is Carly and I'm a pet mom to three boys (two cats, one dog) all aged 1-2yrs old! I've spent my whole life surrounded by four legged friends and each one has left paw prints on my heart. 🐾♥️ I welcome almost any personality type save aggressive ones and will meet your sweet pup wherever and however they need during our time together. Whether it's a quiet, peaceful stroll or zoomies and playing fetch, I'll be the stand-in friend who loves doing the same thing! Any time I get home from an adventure outside with Mako, my 1yr old Shiba Inu, he knows it's time to wipe his "city feet" and bum with a gentle, scent-free baby wipe. The same care would be given to your pupper unless of course they wouldn’t be a fan of such things occurring. I look forward to chance of meeting new fluffy friends and adding more paw prints where it counts! 🫶 As a recent Boston transplant, my days are currently spent setting up a new apartment in SoMa with my fiancé and re-building clientele as a private figure skating coach which means right now I’m usually quite free! I enjoy being an early bird and am available in the middle of the day on a regular basis. I am able to do some evening walks, but nothing after dark. My puppy Mako is friendly, but doesn’t walk well with canine companions so all walks would be one-on-one with your doggo unless you own a pair that is accustomed to going together. Time spent checking in on your pup at home would be respectful of their/your space and contact would be initiated at the pace of the dog itself.

“Polina! Did such a great job truly will be calling on her again to help with my pup Thor!! Thankyou !!!”

“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!!”

“Andrea came and met my dog and took the time to get instructions. She handled the whole thing wonderfully and I'd use her again!”

“We were so thankful to have Genna's help last minute when we needed it. She was super at communicating with us. Pups were so happy to have her hang out and walk with them. We feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out for help again. Thanks Genna!”

“Yang is great! I've booked her a few times, and she has taken care of both my dog and cat. She is always on time, prompt on responding, and reliable. Additionally, she has been flexible and able to help me out in a pinch when I've needed to book last minute. We love Yang and (have already) recommend her to anyone who is looking to book a reliable/trustworthy pet sitter.”

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.

“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.”

Max M.

“Responsible, pleasant, and our boy loves her!”

Kelsey E.

“Femke was lovely!! Incredibly sweet and very easy to communicate with. My pup loved her and I look forward to rebooking her when I’m in town next.”

Elizabeth L.

“Selena was great to work with and treated my pup so well. We had an issue with the lockbox not opening and she was kind enough to stay until it was resolved so my dog got a walk and his dinner. Would definitely book her again!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Sapsali (삽살이) — a traditional Korean breed known for being loyal, shaggy, and full of personality — and she was my companion for 12 wonderful years. Losing her five years ago was harder than I expected, and it took me a long time before I felt ready to be around dogs again in a meaningful way. Now I'm finally at a place where I want to reconnect, and what better way than caring for other people's beloved pups. I work from home, and my work schedule is pretty flexible anytime during the day. Mon-Fri 8am-10pm or Sat&Sun 8am-3pm is preferred I currently don’t have a pet at home. I’m open to having the dog over at home Tuesday-Thursday 9am-5pm and I’m available for walking anytime Mon-Fri 8am-10pm or Sat&Sun 8am-3pm

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I was raised with a sweet Dachshund and a playful Maltese, so I know how important it is to treat pets like family. I’m great at reading their needs, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or just some company, your pet will be in caring hands with me! I don’t have a dog or cat, and I don’t have children. My home is quiet, so your pet will enjoy a calm and peaceful environment. When boarding, please make sure to bring your dog’s or cat’s bed (and their favorite blanket). I provide clear communication with constant updates and photos throughout your pet’s stay. I also keep a detailed daily dogsitting log, so you’ll always know how your dog spent their day. At the end of the stay, you’ll receive a thorough and easy-to-read summary of their activities and care. I kindly request 3 days’ advance notice for cancellations so I can plan care responsibly. I’m available on weekends and can also accommodate weekday requests with a little notice. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a quick weekday check-in, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! In my home, pets have a safe and welcoming environment. I live in a dog-friendly, fenced community with plenty of space for walks and playtime. I make sure they have a clean, comfortable area to relax, and I always stick to their routines as closely as possible.

About: Hi, we’re Kaki and Seba - newly-wed, working professionals in SF :) We have 3 cats with super different personalities and we adore them all to bits. We love taking funny and cute pictures of them and will definitely do the same for your furbabies 📸 We have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments - from young kittens bursting with energy to old senior cats who needed oral & topical medications. Although we’re not currently dog parents, Seba used to take care of a shy Cavapoo at their family home, and we both have experience taking care of dogs small and big. We also have experience with guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, and reptiles. Our approach is loving, attentive, and playful. We treat each and every fur-babies like our own, letting them take the lead on how they want to spend our time together🐾 We don’t squeeze our schedule with a lot of pet sitting - we signed up because we genuinely love hanging out with animals :) This means we are not rushing from one visit to another, and we give a lot of attention and care for each and every visit. Currently, Kaki takes the majority of the visits because of a more flexible work schedule, but let us know if you have preference / if you’d like both of us to be there! After ensuring the basic chores are taken care of, we spend the rest of the time playing and hanging out with them for the full duration of time that we’re booked for. Please let us know their favorite activities :)

About: Very Important Stuff: I take care of dogs up to 20 pounds. I will be home the whole time, and your dog will never be alone. Most importantly, l only take 1 dog at a time to be fully attentive to your dog's needs. I do not take dogs that have ongoing medical needs, separation anxiety, or excessive barking. Your dog must be potty trained to go on a schedule. I also ask that your dog be up to date in vaccinations to ensure a healthy environment. Lastly, meet and greets are required for boarding for dogs that have never stayed overnight with me before; and I like to do it way ahead of your booking date so that you have the flexibility to find another sitter if we are not a good match. I strive for quality over quantity and prioritize good fit over just getting more bookings. I often take care of my friends' dogs at my place or drop in and walk their dogs. I helped raise my family dog, and now I’m raising my own dog. I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I love sending pictures and updates while you’re away! I maintain a high standard of safety and cleanliness in my home. The building I live in, along with the neighborhood, is very quiet. I walk dogs on leash at all times, never off leash outside. Because incidents or illness can happen at dog parks, I do not go to the dog park. I also do not allow any dog under my care to come into contact with unknown dogs.

About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I have been a pet care provider all my life. I owned a private pet care business for almost 8 years that I sold in January 2021. In my first 6 1/2 years, I served over 1,000 unique pets. Before starting my business, I was on track to go to veterinary school, and have worked under 5 veterinarians, including a mobile vet, and at a spay-neuter clinic. You may recognize me from when I worked at San Francisco’s first pet shop, The Animal Company. I taught Pet-CPR and First Aid & have a fair amount of experience with senior cats & dogs, as well as dogs who are reactive & need to avoid interactions with passers-by while out on walks. I can also trim nails, give oral/injectable medicine, administer fluids, etc. I have a pretty flexible schedule; I own a consulting business and travel all over the city for work. I usually don’t work outside of San Francisco- feel free to inquire about my travel rates & availability. Probably not the best fit for a dog who needs someone around the entire day, but if your dog can be left alone for a few hours here & there we might be a good fit 👍🏽 I work remotely so I am pretty flexible in terms of adapting to your pet’s needs. I’m also pretty good at responding to call/text/email right away for added peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m Jas and I love dogs. People who know me well call me “The Dog Whisperer”. As a kid, I grew up in a home full of happy dogs. One of my greatest friendships was with my Lhasa Apso and I miss him terribly. I work from home as a textile designer and this affords me the time to give your dog the right attention including exercise, playtime and lots of cuddles. I know you love your dog and I will go out of my way to put your mind at ease when you leave them in my care. Their comfort, exercise and care is my priority… rest assured that specific needs and routine of your dog will be followed. I will walk your dog around our neighbourhood. Our outing will have a good mix of walking on leash and visiting the dog park (gated/fenced) while keeping safety as the paramount goal at all times for your baby. It will be home away from home for your baby! I know that leaving your dog can’t be easy, but rest assured it’s in good hands. Under my care you can travel stress free. Your dog will have a ball and so will you … it’s a win-win! I look forward to hosting while you travel without the stress for work or vacation. Thank you for your trust.

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have years of firsthand experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a longtime pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, basic grooming, and following established routines. I know every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Whether they want lots of activity and attention or simply someone nearby for companionship, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and care I'd want for my own—and keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I'm also available for extended stays when planned in advance. I'm happy to work around your pet's normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routine so things stay as familiar and consistent as possible while you're away. I take the responsibility of caring for both your pets and your home seriously. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, home access, and any special needs or behaviors I should know about. I'll pay close attention to your pet's comfort and behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.
