Dog Walking Mission

About: I have had a life long love of animals and have grown up with cats and dogs. In addition I am a long standing volunteer at the SFSPCA, and am trained in dog and cat care. If your pet is shy or out going I know exactly how to work with them. I am a college student with a fairly flexible schedule. As junior my course load is predictable therefor I can work with you to find a convenient care schedule. I am available to walk dogs or care for cats at your home. I have a car and can reliably get to you. When we first meet I would love to spend a little time with your pet and learn your routine in order to make them as comfortable as possible. If you are traveling for an extended period I will gladly send you pictures and keep you posted on what is going on.

“Colette was responsive, nice and so helpful! Thank you!”

“Katrina is the best! She is very easy to work with, listens carefully to instructions and always goes the extra mile. She had no trouble walking our big golden retriever and we always look forward to having her come by.”

About: Lifelong dog owner with over 25 years of pet-sitting experience and 400+ volunteer hours at animal shelters. Reliable, attentive, and passionate about every pup. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I love getting outside with dogs and will always make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’ll communicate clearly and send photo updates after every visit so you know they’re in great hands. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, use secure leashing practices, pay close attention during walks, and make sure your pet has fresh water and plenty of affection. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit so you can have peace of mind. Having cared for dogs my entire life, from running a pet-sitting business for over 10 years to volunteering 400+ hours at an animal shelter, I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities.

“Sarah is amazing! She checks in roux every week when I’m at work and roux is always so happy when I get home. She has a great walk and gets lots of love. Sarah communicates very well and I know my pet is taken care of while I’m away.”

About: I grew up caring for dogs and have owned 3 cats for 10+ years. I’m responsible, thoughtful and patient. I treat every pet as an individual, not just another booking. Whether your pet loves long walks, slow sniffing adventures, playing at home, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor each visit to their routine and personality. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pet is getting patient, attentive care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any feeding, medication, or training instructions so your pet stays comfortable while you’re away. I work remotely and generally have a flexible schedule for early morning and afternoon/evening pet care. I am available many weekends and most weeks days! My cats are my angels and I treat them very gently and with love. My favorite cat is the 6 lbs runt who has been with me since 2013! I will be sure to follow all instructions and treat your pets as if they were my own, with love and attention.

“Jamie was incredibly caring and great with my senior dog! She communicated quickly and clearly with me about the walk schedule, and everything went according to plan.”

“Eric did a great job walking our Labrador retriever. She’s energetic and pulls, but Eric handled her very well. She came home worn out and happy. Thanks Eric!”

“David was a reliable walker for our two dogs and took care of their distinct needs. He took the time to learn about our dogs before their first walk which was important for the special care one of our dogs. Would definitely work with David again.”

About: I recently joined a professional pet care team and love spending my days with dogs of every breed and energy level. I've also volunteered with a senior dog rescue, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to read each dog's individual needs — from playful pups to older dogs who need a calmer pace. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or a gentle companion, I'll treat them like my own. My schedule is currently flexible, which lets me offer reliable availability throughout the day. I'm generally free from around 8am until sunset, so I can cover morning, midday, and evening walks. I also welcome boarding stays with advance notice, so I can make sure I'm fully prepared to give your pet my complete attention. Safety comes first for me, whether I'm in your home or mine. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks and double check doors, gates, and yards before letting them off leash in a safe space. In my home, I keep the environment calm and pet-proofed, with no accessible chemicals, small objects, or unsafe areas. I follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly as given, and I send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep emergency vet contact info on hand for every stay.

“So grateful for Katheryn. She did an incredible job with my dog Clementine. Took such good care of her and gave me a great report after. Will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I have been working and volunteering with animals since I was 17 years old and have been dog sitting/walking for 5+ years on wag walker! I was a dog groomer with Natural Pawz for 1 and a half years and volunteered with friends fur life for half a year! Have always worked with animals and am very passionate about their health and well being. My days revolve around animal care whether it’s dog sitting/walking or caring for the cats in my neighborhood! My neighborhood used to have a huge problem with aggressive stray cats or loose dogs so I began working with local animal shelters and clinics on getting them fixed through TNRing. Have found homes for dogs that were dropped off on my street and most of the cats on my street are now fixed and vaccinated! They’re no longer as aggressive as they used to be and their health conditions have improved significantly. I live in a gated house with plenty of space in the back for cats and dogs to have outdoor time. There is an empty guest room in case any pet needs some space or quiet or just for ones who may be shy or prefer to be alone.

About: I worked as a professional dog trainer for a well renown dog school in San Francisco. I have worked with a wide variety of breeds, sizes and ages! As small as Miniature Dachshund puppies and as large as Full grown Great Danes. Often I've worked groups of more than a dozen dogs, where being vigilant and proactive was key to manage interactions, but working with you, you'll get all the same care with just your pup. I've worked dogs that are shy of social interactions with other dogs and people! And most importantly I have the skills not only to manage but improve dog behavior. I am entirely free at the moment so with enough notice my day can be centered around your puppy first and foremost! This can be during your work week when your pets need a little extra attention, or this can be during your time away when they need support at home. I have a pet friendly apartment for boarding and I am physically active for long hikes or walks outside in the lovely parks around San Francisco. I have a keen eye on subtle changes in dog behavior from my experience working as a professional trainer, so I am very attentive to how your dog is feeling.

About: Hi! I’m Irina. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I raised a beautiful Gordon Setter (Scottish Setter) from a puppy, and he lived a long, happy life of 13 years. This taught me everything about canine behavior, specialized nutrition, and the deep patience required to care for dogs at all stages of life, including senior dogs. Multi-Pet Care: Besides my own dog, I have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends and family, looking after various breeds of dogs and cats. I know how to handle different temperaments—whether your pet is an energetic ball of energy or a shy cuddler. I am currently fully available during the week, so I can walk, feed, and play with your pet at any time from Monday to Friday. Please note that I am unavailable on weekends, as I dedicate that time to my children. Please note that I offer care strictly at your home (drop-ins and house sitting) and do not host pets at my place. Through raising my own pets, I learned how to understand animal behavior and provide dedicated care. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I gave my own best friends.

“Lauren was fantastic - great communication, sent very cute photos, and took our booking on very short notice! Really was a life saver on a day with a last minute schedule change!”

“Cory is amazing, so responsive and responsible. We have a huge reactive dog, who just loves him. And he’s a natural at handling him….if he can handle Marcus, he can handle any dog.”

“I had a fantastic experience with João! He was incredibly easy-going, friendly, and most importantly, loving to my pet. João was there for us when we needed him the most, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I am Anne! I grew up with a golden retriever (Phoebe) and 2 cats (Kathryn & Bob) in a suburb of Washing, DC, so I have a lot of experience with pets. I am a teacher and performer living in San Francisco, CA now. I love to run and walk dogs and I enjoy getting out and exploring the beautiful city and surrounding areas. I am also a Wag! Walker, so I've walked dozens of different breeds, sizes, temperaments of dogs—and up to several at a time. (Sometimes, I think I get along with animals better than people!) I frequently pet sit and housesit and it’s always my goal to leave your pet and your home better than I found it! I hope I can help take care of your best friend! I’m a high school teacher so I have a lot of experience taking care of wild animals ◡̈. I love walking dogs to get out into nature and see the city in my downtime and weekends! I also love dog sitting and have a consistent schedule that makes morning, midday, and evening check-ins and walks easy! I take the time to make sure every animal feels very comfortable before we continue with a walk or check in by approaching slowly and meeting them on their terms. I always leave spaces cleaner than I find them and go the extra mile to make sure you come home to a happy dog and a cozy home!

“Bailey was a great walker for Whitney that I’d recommend to anyone! She was really responsive and gave helpful write ups after each walk, and Whitney seemed really comfortable in her care. 10 out of 10, would Bailey again!”
