Dog Walking In Inner Richmond

About: I’ve done pet sitting since I was about 13 years old, and my experience is extensive. I have taken care of cats and dogs ranging from 2-13 yo, and some with health conditions requiring regular medication. I am detail oriented, high energy, but cautious and responsible. As a sitter, I have been hired for home visits, overnight stays at owner’s home and my own, and walks/play time multiple times a day. Locals hire me because I am reliable, communicative, and have genuine care for animals. I can’t wait to meet your pet(s), and I can confidently say they are in good hands! I am working part time in the restaurant business, and I have the most availability in the mornings, late afternoons and evenings. I have the flexibility to check in on your pet every 4-8 hours, for any of my services listed. I live in the inner Richmond, a safe and quiet neighborhood in San Francisco. If your pet were to come stay with me, they’d have a designated area to rest, play, eat, and drink in addition to plenty of outside time. I live 5 min walking distance from Golden Gate Park, and I am always looking for a walking buddy! If you were to hire me to stay in your home, I would ensure I live up to the house guest and employee standards through my responsibility and respect for privacy. My sole duty is to take care of your pet(s), and I would only enter spaces in your home required to fulfill my job. Additionally, I strive to ensure your pet(s) is comfortable with me in their home by staying within their boundaries of these factors.

“Rocio was lovely! We worked with her for a few mid-week walks for our pup and it was instantly obvious how attentive she was and thoughtful to our needs. We’d recommend Rocio for any of your pet care.”

“I cannot recommend Dionie highly enough! For an entire time of the booking, he walked my dog twice a day, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. My dog, who can be a bit picky with new people, immediately warmed up to him. Each walk was timely, and I could tell from my dog's happy demeanor that they enjoyed every moment. Dionie was incredibly professional, always providing updates and photos, which put my mind at ease knowing my furry friend was in good hands. He went above and beyond to ensure my dog had plenty of exercise, playtime, and even some extra love and attention. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and friendly dog walker, look no further than Dionie. I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”

About: I grew up with four cats and three dogs and I love caring for our four legged family members. I'm a stay at home cat dad (for now) while my husband works in Sacramento, so happy to host doggies for the day or take your K9 for a walk. I'm currently not working so I have plenty of time to look out for your dog or cat. There's the occasional week I am out of town, but largely in SF. I have a house in the Inner Richmond with an enclosed backyard. There are steps leading up to the front door and out the backyard.

“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’ve spent my whole life around pets, specifically dogs, of all kinds. Growing up, I had a dog for 12 years and he was my best friend. My current lease doesn’t allow me to have pets :( so I’m looking to spend more time with dogs while doing something I love - walking around my beautiful hometown! I currently work full-time with youth who struggle with their mental health. My work schedule is often pretty flexible, but I am most available for walks during the mornings and early afternoons. I will do my best to accommodate owners’ and their pets’ existing routines. I will be sure to care for pets as if they were my own. Depending where they live, I will find dog parks, nice walking trails, and other big open spaces to provide an enjoyable and sufficient walk for the dogs I am paired with.

“Mikele was a great walker. She was on time and easy to communicate with. My dog had a great time with her and I would definitely hire her again!”

“I’m so glad we found Greg! We needed someone to take Coco out midday when my husband and I are both not able to work from home. Greg proactively asked of any issues before meeting Coco (she has a weak knee), sent cute photos during their visits, and went the extra mile to replenish her water. Definitely recommend him.”

“Nancy is amazing! She was very patient despite the fact that our intercom wasn’t working and even stayed extra time to make up for the lost time. She sent frequent photos throughout and was very loving with Billy.”

About: I live with my husband and young daughter and our family loves caring for animals! Please let us love your special pet while you're away! We have experience with kittens, active cats and dogs, and senior cats and dogs with declining health. We are very experienced with administering medication and providing support to animals with age and mobility challenges. For dog walking and checking in on your pet while you're away: I love going on walks throughout the city and spending a lot of time outside at many of SF's amazing parks. Why not take your pup with me? I work remotely Thursdays and Fridays, so if you'd like to set up an extended drop in stay during the day, let's chat and see what we can set up to meet both of our needs. For pet visits and stays in my home: I live within walking distance of both the Presidio and Golden Gate Park so we're able to give walks and exercise that best fits your pet. I also have a fenced in patio for cats who enjoy a sunny nap outside, and a fenced in backyard for pups who like to sniff around or take frequent potty breaks. Our house is pet friendly including lots of soft places to lay and relax in a sunny window or pet-friendly couch. I work from my home office and take frequent walks around the neighborhood for exercise and to run errands, so taking your pet out and about fits seamlessly into my routine. Things we have here to use during your pet's stay if you don't want to bring your own: - Litterbox - Food and water bowls - Blankets - Cat tree - Dog Leash I work from home most of the week with a very flexible schedule and take frequent walks around the neighborhood for exercise and to run quick errands. I also live within walking distance of the Presidio, the off leash dog park at Mountain Lake Park, and Golden Gate Park so I'm able to give your pup as much exercise as they need throughout the day. My availability does not currently include Monday - Wednesday, but for cats needing a longer stay (a week or more) let's talk! I may be able to make arrangements to accommodate your cat's schedule needs. I take pet care, health, and comfort very seriously. I will ask you questions about your pet's needs and preferences so that I can give the best care for them. These questions include food, potty, and rest schedule or queues for me to look for that are unique to your pet, preferences for play and affection, any rules that you prefer I follow (for example: specific commands or release words to eat), any medications or treats and how/when to give, etc. I used Rover for cat sitting services before I became a sitter and I loved communicative sitters who took many photos and gave detailed updates. I will be sure to give you plenty of information about how your pet is doing while you're away so you can feel confident about their care, but I will also be mindful to not message you too often so that you can enjoy yourself!

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Abigail was amazing! Our pup connected with her immediately and she asked lots of great questions to ensure she could make our girl as comfortable and happy as possible. Kinja really enjoyed her walks. She even went above and beyond, cleaning up after Kinja when she had some tummy trouble in the house.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 15, when my family had our own. During college, I regularly helped friends take care of their cats and dogs, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and spending time playing with them. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I accept same-day bookings when available, but I prefer reservations at least two days in advance so I can plan my schedule and provide the best care. I have a flexible routine and can adjust to your pet’s needs, including check-ins, feeding, and playtime. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. If you’d like, I can also send photos or videos of your pet during visits so you can stay updated and feel at ease.

About: I grew up with dogs and love them. I tolerate cats but happy to care for them if they let me! Our family has a hamster, but we are not quite ready for a dog or cat full time, but my elementary aged kids are begging me for a pet. I would love to take care of yours part time. There would be no shortage of attention and snuggles and activity. Your dog does need to be kid friendly. We have a small back yard and live near Presidio and GG park for longer walks and play. I work regular hours Monday, Wednesday thru Friday. Off on Tuesdays. Have weekend availability if you’re out of town. I work some from home all week so can keep an eye on a dog during the day too. I have a small fenced back yard and live near the Presidio and Mountain Lake Park (dog park). Need your dog to be comfortable with kids as I have 3 elementary aged kids who are so eager and excited to play with your dog

“Once again, Blair stood out for her flexibility and for her attentive care of my dog. She is always on time, was understanding when dealing with some key pickup logistics issues, and my dog got the proper exercise that she needed. Thanks Blair!”

“Katie is wonderful, she helped us out in a pinch. Took wonderful care of our Frenchie, communicated with us promptly and was super professional. Our first time using Rover and we’re over the moon happy with Katie and her love for our fur baby!”

“Jaiden was so sweet with Pinto and Pinto really enjoyed the walks she had with Jaiden. Jaiden was super accommodating and came to meet Pinto before the walk to be introduced so that Pinto could be acquainted with her. She'll be our go to dog walker from here on out! Thanks Jaiden!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for the last 5 years, took care of my childhood dog before that, and have cared for other people’s pets throughout that time! I love spending time playing with pups outside, it’s a big part of my day anyway! I set aside 3-4 hours a day to take my dog on a walk, we frequent the meadows in golden gate park, fort funston, and some trails in the presidio. I keep my home tidy so dogs don’t have access to things they’re not supposed to eat. I make sure everyone is comfortable and have their needs taken care of (food, potty breaks, entertainment, snacks, cuddles/personal space, etc.) My dog isn’t territorial at all and quite likes having friends over, but ofc they should meet first!

“Kevin was the perfect caretaker for our pup! He was super- communicative and responsive, and our dog Sunny got the exercise she needed. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Kevin again!”
