Dog Walking Noe Valley

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.

“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.”

“Lizzie is always so wonderful with Frankie! It had been a couple months since their last hang and our boy was just soooo excited to see her. Highly recommend Lizzie!”

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.

“Joyce is so great with my dog, Ginger. I have full trust in her and knowing that my dog can be a little picky- makes it so great. Thank you Joyce!!”

About: Hi, I’m excited to meet you and your pet! I work from home, so whether your pet is staying at my home or I’m visiting yours, they’ll have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I foster senior dogs through Muttville and have experience caring for senior pets. I also know how to administer oral and eye medications. My small home is best suited for small dogs and lower-energy large dogs. For house sitting, I’ll need to bring along my own small senior dog. She’s calm, friendly, and spends most of her day napping by my side while I work. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and care, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I work from home, so I can attend to your pet’s needs during the day. Frequent walks aren’t a problem! I can take your baby for walks and potty breaks between meetings. I follow your guidance and instructions to ensure the best care possible. Medicines are administered on time with care. Walks and feeding routines are followed as though you were here with your pet.

“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!”

“Tom was as an excellent walker and companion for my elder dog Summer! In setting up the walk and handling my instructions he was prompt and communicative. He also went above and beyond in small ways, such as bringing in packages that were left outside so they wouldn't get stolen. But ultimately what matters most is the dog's experience, and I could tell from photos and from Summer's demeanor when I got home that she had a great time! I would be happy to work with Tom again in the future and I'm sure my dog would agree.”

“We cannot say enough good things about Surekha. Finding someone you trust with your dog is tough, but she made it incredibly easy. She is so genuinely kind and patient, and she has been absolutely wonderful with our mini Aussie. She understands his personality perfectly and tailors her approach to exactly what our pup needs that day. Surekha is dependable, communicative, and just a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. My earliest memories are all filled with me spending time with our family's dogs and also taking care of neighbor's pets, which I started doing in high school. I truly enjoy dog walking, dog sitting and pet drop-in visits, and I really take time to get your know your dog or pet and make sure that I am giving them the best care possible. I am available for dog walks and I live in Noe Valley but can travel outside of that neighborhood. I also can do dog sitting, I have my own fenced in yard and two small senior dogs of my own who love to have company. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule so I can work with you and your pets needs. Let me know how best I can help and what your pet needs and wants. I will cater my activity to your dogs energy level. I will sure there is plenty of exercise and cuddles (if they like cuddles). I’m all about making your pet as happy and comfortable as possible while they are in my care.

“Jessica was a huge help! I had to leave town last minute and she was super flexible with me. My dog and I are both pretty high maintenance and she did great about taking all of my over the top instructions head on!”

“Dena walked our (recovering) reactive dog Monty and did a fantastic job. She was open to using treats and commands, and got him comfortable quickly. She’s a very calm presence with lots of experience (and love for!) with dogs. We will definitely hire her again!”

“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!”

About: Hi! I’m Joseph! I’m a passionate dog lover here in Noe Valley (20+ years). I am a writer who works from home in a quiet, peaceful environment with an enclosed backyard,so your pup will enjoy plenty of comfy spaces to relax. I only care for one dog at a time, so your furry family member gets my full attention—just like they would at home. I am 5-Star Rated on Rover and completed my Doggy First Aid training. Whether you’re heading to work, traveling, or just need a break, you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and deeply cared for. No set check-in/check-out times — we plan everything around your schedule. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like family. I’m a writer and always at home unless I run out to the gym. In that case, I have a doggie cam to monitor your pup. This is only necessary for multi-day stays. I have a fenced in yard that is only accessed by a key. My home is clean and comfy. I treat my dog guests as I do my human guests. At this time I am only taking 1 dog at-at-time unless they are from the same family.
