“James is an excellent dog walker for our dog, Dory! Dory can be a little shy and wary of strangers, but she really warmed up to James within a pretty short time period. We attribute it to James’ easygoing nature and positive energy. He is incredibly responsive, provides very thoughtful updates, sends many photos of our sweet pup, and always keeps us informed. We are grateful for James and appreciate that he treats our Dory girl with love, kindness, and patience. She seems to enjoy her walking adventures with him! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker they can trust!”

Paula S.

“Jesse was super flexible and took care of my baby with last minute notice! Knowing that he was getting attention and exercise from Jesse put this new dog mom at ease while being at work. Will definitely be a regular of Jesse’s clients!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and small rodents like mice, hamsters and guinea pigs. I’ve walked and dog-sat pups of all personalities, cared for cats, and used to volunteer at an animal shelter giving dogs extra TLC. Every pet gets attention, play, and care tailored to them. I always send updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved :) I’m currently pretty flexible with walks, visits, and overnight stays, and I make sure to provide consistent attention, exercise, and playtime. I’m happy to follow your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, and any special care they need! I provide care that’s tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I always follow care instructions closely and send updates. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while being respectful of your home and routines. For dogs: Walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For cats: Companionship, enrichment, and follow their usual routines.

About: Here to provide a happy and safe place for your dog to stay while you are away. Our house is myself and my 6 year old Aussie mix, Belinda, live blocks from GGP, Ocean Beach, and just a quick drive to Chrissy Beach. Our morning always starts with a beach or trail walk before coming home to relaxing house vibes. We live in a single family home with large full sun backyard with level access to den furnished garage for dog hang out space, otherwise house is fully accessible with work from home energy. We are looking for 2+ year old dogs over 30lbs or more - all dogs must be spayed or neutered and have basic obedience. Our typical routine involves off leash walks and expect dogs to have strong recall and able to be walked on voice control trails. Expecting dogs that can maintain low indoor engergy between active routines for early and end of day 40+ min walks utilizing local nature around Richmond neighborhood. Daily activity routine is commonly a mix of; - Morning beach walk at OB, Chrissy Beach, or Fort Funston (40-60min) - these are typically off leash where allowed but always ensuring a good run about, recall skills are expected. If not comfortable on leash walking can be supported. - Midday neighorhood walk (15-30min) - Local walk around the neighborhood to get sniffs and some movement in - End of day park/beach/trail walk (30-50min) - Depending on day and weather; GGP, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, Funston etc are used end of day walk. To ensure this is a good match for all the dogs (and people) involved, please make sure when you send a booking request, please update your dog's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to insurance policy, we can't accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Chow, and Rottweiler). Looking to ensure the dogs have a great time and owners feel good about your time away and trust a safe and fun enviroment is being created for your pet. 1) Is your dog able to be walked off-leash on trails where "off leash under voice control" is allowed with reliable recall response? Recall is when verbal or singled command is given dog returns to comfortable space to either leash or hold based on situation. Belinda and I walk regularly off leash at allowed areas and want to ensure we do not endanger your dog or other's while being off leash together in these areas. 2) Does your dog have any known separation anxiety tendenceies? Either when away from people or when left with other dogs? This could be expressed through whining, barking, destruction of property etc? If so - is your dog crate trained to provide comforting and secure place when errands or other normal life activities are required during stay. 3) Does your dog have watchdog mindset of barking based on common stimuli like footsteps outside, unknown voices, garage doors opening/closing? A space that may have other dogs and work from home activities this type of energy can be stressful to all and may not be an ideal fit. 4) Following a walk, is your dog still "full of energy" - ensuring the energy of the space is maintained during stays, generally house in in relaxing/focused mode between large walks with dogs and humans respectively. 5) Does your dog have any destructive behaviors (shoes, sock, furniture, etc)? Is your dog potty trained? 6) Is your dog comfortable being with multiple dogs? While total dogs are limited to 4, including Belinda, this can still be overwhelming for some dogs and want to make sure this space is the right potential space for your dog. 7) Let me know any other details you think would be helpful to know about your dog - general routines, favorite activities, known reactive situations, possives with toys/treats etc. Schedule typically starts early around 6:15-6:30 for potty and food - then longer morning walk. From there mid day walk is optional based on schedule for the day and how the dogs are doing, large backyard always availbale. End of day another longer walk before dinner and evening hang time, second walk typically never repeats first walk of the day. House has large fenced backyard and one female dog who loves her beach walks, fetch, and hanging with other dogs. Only looking for dogs that match similar energy and get along with others. We want this to be a safe place for all and dogs to delight and owner's to be worry free while your dog stays with us knowing they are being loved and cared for well while here.

“Maya was here in a pinch! She was so gentle with our dog and communicative. She was thoughtful and reached out to me during a rainy day knowing our dog was not a fan of rain to discuss how to modify her visit to allow for indoor entertainment! Would highly recommend.”

About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights. I’m also comfortable caring for smaller dogs, and have experience with terrier mixes and pugs. I’m available all day every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I can be flexible to meet your needs! On Fridays and weekends, I’m available only in the evening. I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.

“Elle was fantastic! She arrived early for our scheduled walk, communicated clearly, and was incredibly kind. She took my pup on a lovely stroll through the park and even cleaned her up afterward. Highly recommend!”

“I’m so grateful that we found Lovisa!!! She is exceptionally sweet, patient, and reliable. She took it slow and built trust with my shy cavapoo puppy and they quickly became great friends. Lovisa helped with Sadie while I was away and I knew I didn’t have to worry at all. She was on time, super communicative and I could tell Sadie was excited to spend time with her. I highly recommend Lovisa to anyone looking for great care for their pet! I have already booked her as a repeat dog walker for Sadie.”

About: Dedicated dog lover with over 29 years of personal experience owning, training, and caring for dogs. • Advanced academic background in neuroscience, providing a deep, expert understanding of animal behavioral and biological nuances. I'm typically available 10am - 3pm on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Please contact for details, as I can make my schedule flexible as needed. In addition to pet care, I'm currently working from home remotely part-time. I'm currently only advertising dog-walking services, so likely this isn't relevant. However in the future I can provide details on my approach to pet care.

“Gen has walked our sweet and sensitive dog several times now. She has been professional, prompt, and communicative with me, while being patient, soft, and calm with our pup. We are very grateful.”

About: All my life I have had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at all times. My mother did not want to take care of these animals by herself. My main responsibility, since I was a kid, included feeding, walking, and playing with the dogs. I am currently a full time student in a graduate program in the bay so this is my ideal job. Pets relieve stress, and I know I will need them just as much as they need me! Just like dogs, I need my walks too. I understand what the means for my health and I know it’s just as beneficial for them.

“Sarah was extremely responsive, communicative, and responsible and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!!”

Joanna S.

“Working with Rocio for daily walks has been great!! She’s very consistent with communication and photos and I have complete trust that she’s taking the best care of my frenchie every day. 100% recommend!”

“Great and positive energy to match my pup’s! A stellar canine companion!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 11yrs and love to train dogs and puppies! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I'll take care of your dog as if they were my own! I’ll ask about any special needs or accommodations for the walks. Happy to do a meet and greet before hand if that helps. I'm originally from the Bay Area and just spent 7 yrs in NYC. I love being back in CA and exploring the outdoors with man's best friend!! Work from home, flexible schedule. I usually like to take dogs out around 7 or 8am and then again around 4 or 5pm for sunsets. I can also do short walks in between. I have extensive experience with high energy dogs. I have dog beds and food bowls and high quality treats. I make sure to accommodate so that your dog feels at home!

“Iva has been walking our dog since we got him a few months ago. She has been incredibly patient and helpful getting the little guy acclimated to his new life. She is very communicative around her schedule, always shows up at the agreed upon time, and sends awesome photos post-walk to document her time with our pup. Would absolutely recommend Iva as a caregiver to your pup whether for daily walks or dogsitting - she is the best!”
