Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Reliable Dog Walks
Hello! I'm a dedicated dog care professional serving Glen Park, Noe Valley, and Bernal Heights, and I'm certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I know that trusting someone with your dog and welcoming them into your home is a big decision. That's why I prioritize safety, reliability, clear communication, and compassionate care, treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide calm, safe, and thoughtfully structured walks, paired with clear, proactive communication every step of the way. I’ve had and worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small companion breeds to larger working dogs. I’m experienced with brachycephalic breeds (French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, etc.) and take extra precautions to prevent overheating and respiratory stress. Particularly important in our warmer SF afternoons and hilly terrain. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level, temperament, and routine. Whether your pup needs structured leash guidance, enrichment-focused sniff time, or a steady senior pace, I adjust accordingly. What You Can Expect: • Calm, confident leash handling • Thoughtful care for puppies, seniors, and leash-reactive dogs • Structured, safety-first walks • Detailed photo updates and timely communication • Walks tailored to your dog’s individual needs and pace I prioritize consistency and routine because dogs thrive when they know what to expect. If you're looking for a dependable, professional walker who treats your dog like an individual (not just another booking), I’d love to connect.

Safety, trust & environment
While in my care your dog will receive the same love and attention I give my own! I tailor all my walks to the personality and energy of the dog. I treat each home with respect and each pet as an individual.
Ratings and reviews
Marie is so patient with Eliza. I truly appreciate her letting Eliza warm up to her. Fabulous walker!
Reliable. Good communicator.
Marie was great! Thank you for walking my critters while I was out, it’s peace of mind to have someone to rely on! Thank you!
Marie did great on her first walk with Eliza. I have faith that Eliza will warm up to her quickly. She was gentle and encouraging, which i appreciate.
Marie checked in on our cat for a few days while we were out of town. Communication was excellent throughout, and both our cat and apartment were in great shape when we returned. We are happy to recommend her and will likely work with her again!
Marie is fantastic. Communicative, proactive, and kind!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home and can set my own schedule. So after I take care of my own two crazy Frenchies, I have room to provide walks and visits from morning to late afternoon. I also focus on structured, recurring walks and drop-ins for local clients in Glen Park, Noe Valley, and Bernal Heights, which allows me to provide reliable time windows and predictable care.
