Hi, I’m Dana — thanks for checking out my profile! I'm a full-time pet care provider offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in San Francisco's west side neighborhoods. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from small pups to large, high-energy dogs and leash-reactive dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

A few things I can offer: 🐾 Experience with dogs of all sizes, including large and reactive dogs 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog's energy level and personality 🐾 Longer walks, runs, hikes, or neighborhood strolls 🐾 Drop-in visits for dogs and cats 🐾 Overnight house sitting in your home 🐾 Consistent updates and photos while you're away 🐾 Flexible availability 7 days a week Walks & Adventures I was born and raised in San Francisco, so I know the city well and have plenty of favorite walking routes, parks, and trails. I'm also an active person myself, so I'm happy to get some miles in with an energetic dog who enjoys longer walks, runs, or hikes. At the same time, I'm also happy to keep things relaxed for a dog who prefers a slower neighborhood walk or some time hanging out at home. I'll always follow your dog's normal routine and adjust our time together to what makes them comfortable. Drop-ins & House Sitting For drop-in visits, I'll follow your pet's usual routine, whether that means feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. For house sitting, my goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible in their own home while you're away. I'll follow their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines and keep an eye on your home while I'm there. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take communication seriously and will keep you updated throughout your time away.

Dana took wonderful care of our very anxious dog. She was patient and calm with him and she kept us well informed during our 2 week trip. We would highly recommend her.

I highly recommend booking with Dana. She walked my 5 year old leash reactive dog every week and was so great with him. She is very trustworthy with difficult dogs. Dana is very reliable, responsible, and communicative, I couldn’t recommend more.

I currently have a large German Shepherd mix and a cat of my own, so I'm very comfortable with both big dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs.

Dana can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
I really enjoy getting to know each pet's personality, whether that's a dog who wants to spend an hour exploring the neighborhood or a cat who needs a little more time to warm up. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while they're in my care. l'a love to set up a quick Meet & Greet to meet you and your pets, learn about their routine, and make sure I'm a good fit for what you need. If you have any questions, just send me a message — I'm happy to chat!
