Dog Walking In Inner Sunset

“Dana was awesome. She was professional, warm, and genuinely friendly from the start. She arrived right on time, followed all directions carefully, and carried herself with a confidence that immediately put me (and my dog) at ease. My dog was visibly excited to see her and came home happily tired and relaxed after their walk — always the best sign. Dana was communicative and prompt throughout. I would absolutely book her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover but have years of experience caring for medium and large breed dogs, including walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and providing daily care for both my own dogs and those of friends and family. My goal is to make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well-exercised, though I’ll admit that getting to spend time with them is a perk for me too :) I’m an incoming Doctor of Physical Therapy student with a flexible summer schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. Once classes begin in late August, I will primarily be studying from my home in the inner sunset, allowing me to maintain a flexible routine and continue offering consistent care. I’m committed to giving pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I grew up with and around dogs and have extensive experience caring for medium and large breeds, specifically. I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and positive environment for every pet. I prioritize each dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I am attentive to routines, habits, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away.

“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!”

“Francis was very easy to work with. They followed the guidelines for the dogs well, and provided timely and effective communication. I'm looking forward to future bookings 👍🏽”

“Tobin has been walking Reese for a few months now. He's consistently attentive to Reese. I really like that Tobin is flexible with schedule requests. He’s easy to reach and extremely responsive.”

About: I’ve owned several dogs, large labrador and mixed breed smaller dogs, and several cats over the years (currently I have a young cat), so I would love to help you with your pets while I am preparing this summer for my move out of SF and to my new career here in Northern California. I am currently applying to jobs for my professional career post grad while living here for my last month in the city, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My planned move out is end of June 2026. My home is not available for pet boarding or watching, but I live in the Sunset neighborhood and have an e-bike to travel to your homes for your pet’s care.

About: Hi! I’m May. I’m a responsible just-graduated medical student who loves dogs! I just moved back to the Bay Area from NC. I had a dog for nearly 15 years and miss having a furry friend around. Have also been a go-to cat sitter for multiple friends! I am very communicative and make sure to give at least daily updates while sitting. I’m a busy resident, but would love to take care of your dog on the weekends I’m free. 😊 I usually am working every other weekend, so I would not be the best fit for recurring visits. No pets, children, or other people will be at my home. Will take your dog on a nice long walk!! and they will probably be fawned over by my friends for extra attention

“Syd is the best! She walked my senior dog (age 12) and her younger sister (age 2) while we were on vacation. The younger one is a slow burn getting to know new people and so I was definitely worried that she wouldn't go out with this new friend. But! Syd persevered through the week and even attempted a rainy day walk! The girls said, NO. But she was back again the following day and by the end of the week, the girls were really happy to walk with her! We'll definitely be calling on Syd again to care for our two girls. She's a great communicator and really a solid animal person.”

About: About Me: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently share my home with a beagle and three cats. I started pet sitting quite young and have experience with everything from energetic puppy and kitten care to senior pets. Why Me! All Personalities Welcome: Firmly believe there are no "bad" pets. I am highly confident handling reactive/aggressive dogs and "spicier" cats (they hold a special place in my heart!). Patient, Respectful: If your pet is more shy, anxious, or needs space, I want to be there on their terms and happy to go with their flow. High-Energy: I’ve been active my entire life, so if your dog needs long, brisk walks to tire them out, I can absolutely keep up. If your cat needs at least an hour of head scratches I am ready! Full-Service Care: Dogs: Experienced in feeding routines, walking, long and short, puppy support, and endless fetch. Cats: Feeding, cleaning, being the newest subject of their kingdom. No matter the animal, I am eager to meet them already! I am home from University for the summer so can really be there at any point of the day! I can walk afternoons and visit to feed early mornings and nights. I can easily do longer walks and visit more frequently through the day. Super super flexible. Just important note that I leave for school again on August 18th, so if you are looking for someone long term unfortunately I might not be the right fit- but I will offer a discounted rate due to my availability only being for 3 months! I understand the trust and love between a pet and owner - having grown up with both cats and dogs so I will always make sure your pet feels safe and comforted! I love playing with both animals, fetch, tug a war, and so on. If your pup is energetic I'll be happy to match the energy :).

“Dave is wonderful with our high energy poochie girl! He is reliable, friendly, and provides great photos and reports on her walks! We feel so lucky to have found him!”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for the past four years since moving to San Francisco. I started by helping friends and neighbors with their dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m very attentive, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether that means sticking closely to feeding schedules, giving extra attention on walks, or making sure they get plenty of playtime and affection, I take pet care seriously and treat every dog like my own. I’m happy caring for energetic dogs, shy dogs, seniors, and pups who need a little extra patience and attention! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime as needed, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency while you are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and always try to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to each pet’s routine. I focus on providing attentive, reliable care while keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m very communicative and make sure to send daily photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I also respond quickly to messages and am happy to adjust care as needed to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Jill can be trusted to care for your beloved companion. She is reliable, mature and responsible, and a pleasure to work with. And Sophie our Chihuahua mix is very comfortable with her, and she is very particular about who she'll go with.”

About: I have had pets al of my life (many cats and dogs, both small and large). I have eaten many a meal with a cat on the dinner table (bad, I know). I can play with the dog, or chill with the cat. I also enjoy long walks and watching tv, so I can do whatever the pet wants to do. I am currently working part time at a wine bar and searching for a job in the esthetics world (I just graduated school). I am free during the day and most evenings. I care for any pet like it’s my own. I will feed regularly and clean the litter box when needed. I am also a LitterRobot owner so I am proficient in cleaning it, or ‘fixing it’. I have many toys for my cat to use, but they only just look at them…

About: Nice to meet you! I am a lifelong lover of animals, and have always had pets of my own. I have years of experience volunteering at the Humane Society, in addition to pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I understand that it is nerve-wracking to leave our pets, and I welcome the responsibility and privilege that comes along with caring for these special creatures. I am comfortable with administering any medications needed, as well as walking and socializing the animals to ensure they maintain their routines and feel at ease. Every animal is unique, with their own habits, preferences and comfort levels with new people. I understand the importance of paying attention to their queues and adapting to their needs. Our pets are our family, and I will treat yours as just that. I have a very flexible schedule! I am available during the week days and weekends to come by and spend meaningful time with your fur babies, take them on walks, and can make twice daily visits to give them their food, clean litter boxes and administer any medicines needed. If your pet has additional needs, I am happy to work together to create a schedule that accommodates them. As a proud cat parent of two very sweet and energetic cats who have a pension for plastic and hair ties, I understand that many of our pets have their own quirks. I will be diligent in ensuring that the little (or big) ones do not get into anything that is not meant for them. And if you enjoy pictures of your pets while on a trip, I will be their personal photographer!

About: Since I was 10 I have had dogs in my life. From the loving ones who to sit and be pet to the ones who are busy busy busy and need a job, I have experienced most of the likes of pets. As for personalities, I can take care of the overly anxious ones to the super social ones. So if you need a couch potato for your pet, or a marathon runner, I can be your sitter! I love them all! I work out regularly (2-3 hrs) either at the gym or running outside so that can be extra convenient if your pet is active as well! I am also doing school part time (1-3 hrs). Other than that, the rest of my day is open! I live in a duplex with no other animals. Lots of open space for them to roam around. Also very close to Golden Gate park for longer excursions.

About: You know how you have that one friend who loses their train of thought when they see a cute pup down the street? That’s me. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t want to pet! Though, to be fair, I have an affinity for all animals. Having grown up with Rottweilers, I have a soft spot for “scary” breeds (that we know are actually the biggest lovers) and have the most experience with reactive dogs, including walking and socialization. Our own pup, Miso, also gave me an honorary dog nurse degree. He had a chronic disorder that required strictly timed medications and meals, so if your pup needs extra attention in that regard, I have ten years of experience making sure pets are feeling good! Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy this past December, so Rover doggos help fill the big hole left in my heart. I hope I get to meet your pup(s) soon! I promise, we will have a blast together 🐶 I run a company where I make my own schedule and work from home 80% of the time. I also live couple blocks off Golden Gate Park and would love to explore the trails with your pup! I have a spacious apartment, a few blocks off the park. Whereas I don’t have a yard, the limit does not exist for the number of walks your pup may get at Golden Gate! There are no other animals or children at the apartment; however, there is a carpeted flight of stairs to get inside.

“Sinead was super helpful and flexible on short notice! I appreciated the clear and timely communication and the walks seemed to go great. Jasper was very happy and I'm grateful that he was well cared for.”

“Katherine is wonderful. She handled our wild young pup easily and was very communicative.”

About: I grew up living with and taking care of two dogs, a cat and a bunny! I was a neighborhood babysitter, pet-sitter and house-sitter for most of my time in high-school. After I came to college, I wasn't as well-connected with my neighbors and didn't have a pet of my own which forced me into a brief stint of pet-less life :(( I just graduated from UC Berkeley and am super excited to restart my pet-care journey! I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley who will be working remotely, so I will have a lot of time on my hands! No set schedule yet, but will have flexible hours. I have great intuition when it comes to pet-care and am excited to be communicative about what your pets' specific needs are! I am super comfortable staying the night and/or house sitting if that is what your furry friend needs.

About: Hello! I’ve been walking and sitting animals for more than a decade, and love making new furry friends. I’ve cared for puppies and older dogs, high-energy and anxious animals. I have a wily, wonderful pug-mix at home who loves a chance to socialize, too. I currently work from home, for myself, so I have room to take on clients in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Weekends and weekdays both work! I approach all new animals with sensitivity and respect for their space and needs. I love getting to know a dog and learning their personality traits, favorite routes, and funny quirks. This helps me get to know what they need, when.
