Dog Walking Haight-Ashbury

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine so they feel comfortable while you're away. I've cared for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and colleagues, and I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training routines, and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those who may be a little shy or anxious. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and updates while you're away. I have a very flexible job where I choose my shifts so there will be plenty of time to take care of your dogs! I always do my best to be punctual and communicate to the clients. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make every effort to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm attentive on walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and avoid situations that could make pets uncomfortable or unsafe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean and tidy while you're away. I know every pet is different, so I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: In addition to being raised sharing responsibility for our household cats and dogs, I've been providing house sitting and pet care for my community for as long as I can remember, and thus have ample references I'm happy to provide! Aside from regularly caring for dogs and cats, I also have snake & reptile and even horse experience! Making sure your animals get the care they deserve is really important to me, and it's always heartwarming to meet new fun creatures. I am a student working part time and I'm very well available to take care of your animals. I'm best available for visit and house sitting services. One of the reasons I wanted to join Rover was that I am moving into a pet-free apartment and I'm really excited to get my dog and cat fix. I don't have availability to host animals, but I am a diligent walker/visitor/house-sitter with years of experience. It makes me feel good to take care of your space and your pet because it offers me a sense of adventure and newness that I often look forward to! I'm always happy to provide references upon request. I've got many :) Family and external, too!

“So reliable. Got along super well with my bid dog. Listened carefully to instructions. Kept my dog safe, loved, exercised, and fed. I like that he is a San Francisco native who has lived in my neighborhood forever. Very good human!”

About: I am a lifelong dog-owner taking a break from my regular 9-5 looking to get outside and stay active. I am responsible and love pets of all kinds. I am currently taking a career break so I can be available pretty much at all times on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I prefer afternoons to mornings. I am responsible and knowledgeable around all types of dog breeds having grown up with them as well as looking after various family members and neighbors over the years.

“Shanna is potentially the best dogwalker and dogsitter of all time. She is a kind, generous, smart, thoughtful, rad human who knows dogs and people well and seems to be a wizard at making sure everyone has what they need. Our dogs adore her and are despondent when they don't get to see her!”

Callie T.

“RJ was very professional and easy to work with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy the time that he spent with them on walks and during playtime, and RJ appeared to connect with them as well. Excellent service provider and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him to care for my pets in the future. Thanks RJ!”

“Denise was great with Franklin for his afternoon walks!!”

About: I have owned and cared for large and small dogs, cats rodents and reptiles. I am attentive and loving to even the most persnickety of animals! I am working on applying to jobs in a new field and have a lot of availability right now for sitting, walks and check - ins. I have a very safe vehicle for transporting animals and can take care of certain animals in my home if the circumstances are correct. I respect your home and boundaries and can provide references.

About: Hey, I'm Taylor! Loving animals is not my whole personality, but it's close. I've been taking care of dogs big and small since I was a kid, and done more serious pet sitting and walking for friends & neighbors since 2017. Pictured is Wheezy, the love of my life: a half Boston Terrier half Pitty I rescued around 5 years ago and nursed back to health. Holler with any questions! I am a journalist and work weird hours! Generally available for afternoon and evening walks both week days and weekends on a case by case basis!. I have a fenced garden area where my pup loves to tromp around. I also live very close to Alamo Square Park, where we love to walk and play if you're comfortable with your pup being social. I've trained Wheezy to return when off-leash but never let other pups off leash without owner permission. In the home, I've got a large crate if needed.

About: My family has had dogs since I was born up to 4 at a time, small and large so I have lifelong experience taking care of numerous breeds of dogs. For the last 3 years, I’ve had a 24 lb mixed breed dog. I love taking her to the beach and dog park! Update in 2026: I’m currently between full time jobs so available during the week to care for your dog! I’m currently between full time jobs so very flexible during the week days and can likely accommodate your normal feeding and break/walk routine. My building has a fenced yard for quick potty breaks and we live nearby a fenced dog park and the panhandle/GGP for longer walks.

“John was great at taking care of my pup while I was gone. Very responsive!”

About: Saw my childhood dog through 16 full years of life and dogsat many breeds for family and clients over the last 15 years. Volunteer of 2 years at a senior dog rescue and dog body language and safety trained. Experienced with puppies all the way through seniors with special needs such as vision loss, hearing loss, anxiety and medication administration. Happy to provide further references. Work fully remote and make my own hours, so my schedule is highly flexible and I'm home to give lots of attention during the day. No other pets at home, but roommates who will give lots of belly rubs. A stone’s throw from Alamo Square dog park and close to Panhandle and Golden Gate Park for plenty of green space. With remote work, I’m happy to house sit if that would make your pet more comfortable.
