Pet Lover and Dog Walker!
Pet care experience
I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and I’m very passionate about animals! My parents founded and ran Wanna Go Bye Bye, a dog walking and boarding business in San Francisco, for over 20 years. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats, and I’m highly comfortable around them. I’m attentive to their body language and know how to have dogs and other animals trust me and be comfortable in my presence. From ages 10-16 I volunteered at Family Dog Rescue in San Francisco, where I would take dogs out on daily walks, give the dogs in the shelter baths, and help socialize and train our shelters puppies. Besides volunteering and helping my parents with walking dogs and boarding dogs at our house, I would frequently walk dogs in my neighborhood and pet sit. Being around animals my entire life, I’ve become very accustomed to being able to read their body language and cues which puts me in a unique position to make your furry friends feel extra comfortable and loved! I’m very experienced and passionate about working with dogs and other animals! I look forward to caring for your beloved pets!
Reviews
Ember has been walking our pup for the past 6 months and it's been really fantastic! Before using Ember we had a previous dog walker and our dog did not respond well to them. Our little guy LOVES his walker and we feel so grateful to have someone we trust take care of him when we're not home. Ember is very easy going and communicative and is very responsible
Ember is the most loving, compassionate, trustworthy person with whom I know. She has been an animal lover her entire life and I would highly recommend her when looking for a pet sitter. She is more than fabulous and both my dog Lili and cat Gemma adore her! Ember is a kind hearted young woman and a loving pet caregiver. Sincerely, Nancy Sperling
Ember grew up in our neighborhood and walked our dog Lacey for several years. Lacey LOVED Ember and she was always on time, responsible, and made sure Lacey came back exercised and happy! Ember loves dogs and would be a great fit for anyone looking for a dog walker :)
Ember has been helping me with my business since she was a little girl. She’s passionate about dogs and is very knowledgeable about them, she always makes sure they feel safe and comfortable around her. She is very responsible, reliant, and committed to being a professional. She takes care of dogs physical needs and always makes sure they’re happy and healthy.

I’m very attentive to the pets that I work with and I will make sure they are well taken care of in your home, including multiple walks a day, lots potty breaks, and of course lots of TLC and cuddles! I understand some dogs are protective over their home, and I’m committed to creating a bond with them and making sure your pet is comfortable in my presence, I want your pets to feel as safe and happy as possible. I’m comfortable with facilitating crating or other routines you have with your pets. I will carefully and diligently follow all house rules and make sure your pets have the safest and best possible care!
Information Ember K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you dog has any special needs, behaviors, or quirks, such as being reactive, pulling the leash, or anything else that seems relevant for a walker to know! I look forward to working with you and adjusting for your pets unique needs!
A typical day
A typical day looks different from client to client so I’d love to get to know your pets specific needs! For dogs that are more social, I’d be happy to make a stop at a dog park along our walk so your furry friend is able to socialize with other pups. For working dogs and breeds that are high energy, I’m excited to take your dogs out on runs and help them get that energy out! For senior pups I’m happy to do a nice leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. Whatever your pet needs I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs and do what feels best suited for you and your pups :)
