Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Tails to you!
I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up my neighbors often had me drop in visit and house sit for their dogs, cats, and birds. Now I would like to offer that service to you! I have a companion of 12 years, Nala, a Staffordshire Terrier! We love going to Golden Gate Park, Land's End, and Ocean Beach, or even to our favorite cafe's! I look forward to walking with your furry friend! I know San Francisco well and all the best spots that dogs love! Expect high quality pictures of the walk and on time service. Drop off and pick up negotiable in certain circumstances/timing. I love all animals, but dog's have a special place in my heart! Talk to you soon!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful for John! We asked John to care for our pittie while we were on vacation. We got daily updates with photos. Our pup had a great time. John’s an excellent communicator and handled our dog so well. She can get a little bit reactive around strange dogs and John managed that with good alpha energy and awareness. We will definitely be booking with John again. Thank you John!
10/10 would recommend! John was so flexible and communicative. He took our energetic pup for long walks, sent multiple pictures, and even agreed to a last minute meet and greet! Will definitely be booking again!
John was great with Blackberry. Blackberry seemed to get along well with John's dog Nala, which I could tell from the plentiful photos he sent on my week away. I would definitely board with John again!
John was great at taking care of my pup while I was gone. Very responsive!
John was great! He took my pup for a nice walk and even helped me put on his new, confusing harness. My dog came back happy and tired!
John was great! He took Luma on a really long walk which was super important to me because my dog has tons of energy. He took the best picture of Luma too! Would love for him to walk her again!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live near two of the best dog parks in the city, Alamo Sq and Duboce Park! I treat clients homes as my own, and if you met me I think you would be rest assured your pup will be walking with a trustworthy companion!
A typical day
I keep training treats on hand, and walks are as long as time permits! I try and put some distance in, but do permit some stops for sniffing. If you let me know any training commands being taught, I can reinforce during the walk. I frequent the GGP, Duboce, and Alamo Sq for walks.
