Dog Walking North Beach

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering at my local SPCA, and pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. One of my most rewarding experiences was fostering a pregnant rescue dog who gave birth while in my care. I helped care for both the mother and her puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborn puppies and attentive, compassionate care. Through volunteering at the SPCA, I've worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Combined with my pet sitting experience, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's unique personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. What sets me apart is my rescue and foster experience, my patience, and my genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and always provide dependable care, regular photo updates, and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm home from university for the summer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I currently work part-time at a restaurant a few shifts each week, with shifts typically lasting no more than five hours, so I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the same love and care I would give my own. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing reliable, attentive care. My priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, and I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind.

About: Had a dog growing up (golden doodle) and missing having a buddy around! I have walked dogs for neighbors before and watched friends dogs for the day/while they travel. Able to go on long walks, do not need to walk your dog in a pack. I have a remote job with a flexible schedule so can plan around dog care! Would need 3 days notice then can make it work (have lunch break and asynch schedule). Would love to have a routine dog drop ins/walks with a set pup. I do not have pets in my apartment. Care for pets by taking them out, going on walks (let the dogs sniff around and get zoomies out), enrichment games, and sticking to their food/water schedule.

“Taylor is easy to work with. She was very kind and patient with our two small timid dogs. They can be shy and bark or hide with strangers. She took the time to build trust with them and get them to play and go on walks. They were happy and tired when I got home. I would definitely hire Taylor again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Carly and I'm a pet mom to three boys (two cats, one dog) all aged 1-2yrs old! I've spent my whole life surrounded by four legged friends and each one has left paw prints on my heart. 🐾♥️ I welcome almost any personality type save aggressive ones and will meet your sweet pup wherever and however they need during our time together. Whether it's a quiet, peaceful stroll or zoomies and playing fetch, I'll be the stand-in friend who loves doing the same thing! Any time I get home from an adventure outside with Mako, my 1yr old Shiba Inu, he knows it's time to wipe his "city feet" and bum with a gentle, scent-free baby wipe. The same care would be given to your pupper unless of course they wouldn’t be a fan of such things occurring. I look forward to chance of meeting new fluffy friends and adding more paw prints where it counts! 🫶 As a recent Boston transplant, my days are currently spent setting up a new apartment in SoMa with my fiancé and re-building clientele as a private figure skating coach which means right now I’m usually quite free! I enjoy being an early bird and am available in the middle of the day on a regular basis. I am able to do some evening walks, but nothing after dark. My puppy Mako is friendly, but doesn’t walk well with canine companions so all walks would be one-on-one with your doggo unless you own a pair that is accustomed to going together. Time spent checking in on your pup at home would be respectful of their/your space and contact would be initiated at the pace of the dog itself.

“Sarine took Nala and Piper on walks when we were out of town and also helped with giving them dinner. She took lots of photos and sent us a quick summary update before leaving. She’s the best!!”

About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with pets and has a little black cat at home. I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.

About: I have dog sat for friends, coaches, and family for multiple years. I have done multi week cares. I love working and taking care of animals since I was young. I am open to suggestions on how to improve my services. I am currently a full-time student at the University of Oregon Portland. I am studying Product design which requires me to do hands on work on campus. I am only doing 12 hours of classes a week. I am available every weekday. Mon/Weds/Fri from 9-12 & 4-10pm. Tues/Thurs All day. When visiting owners homes, I will be sure to communicate and ask questions about the owners home regarding cleanliness and safety. I will make sure the pets do not damage any property or quickly report if there is. I will leave owners homes as is.

“We were so thankful to have Genna's help last minute when we needed it. She was super at communicating with us. Pups were so happy to have her hang out and walk with them. We feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out for help again. Thanks Genna!”

About: I am a responsible, experienced dog/cat owner-lover and will treat yours like my own. I was raised in a family that had dogs including 3 dachshunds, a mutt, and a chow over the years. As an adult I have been the loving pet parent to three adult cats consecutively. Very comfortable around cats and dogs. Available for dog-walking, cat/dog drop-in's, and daytime extended stay drop-in's / house-sitting (no overnights). I have worked remotely for over ten years so have a very flexible schedule. Walking your dog or visiting your cat would be a pleasure and a chance for some fresh air and exercise. I do this for supplemental income during my free time and the opportunity to visit different neighborhoods. I am available daytime hours, not overnight (mid-morning til before sunset). I will give your cat or dog as much or little attention in your home as you (or they!) specify. Reliable, trustworthy. Not able to care for your pets at my home.

“Kylie has been nothing short of amazing for my two pups Mango and Mercy. My dogs are aloof and slow to warm up to strangers but Kylie has been sooo patient, kind, and gentle with them. They both absolutely ADORE her.”

About: I have loved pets since my first bird when I was younger. I have since taken care of my friend’s and family’s dogs, cats, hamsters, reptiles, etc. I currently work from home in the field of technology. I like to stay as active as possible by walking through city and along the water. Occasionally, I love lazy days when can watch a movie, snuggled up indoors. And I would be happy to watch your loved one while you are away. I live in an apartment on a quiet street. A park is nearby and long walks will be taken along the bay. I am very clean! I actively care for my friend’s pets and understand all areas of pet ownership. My goal is to make sure your dog enjoys their time and is as comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have and will make sure your dog gets extra love during your time apart. Regardless if your dog has energy for days or is older and prefers to sleep on comfy blankets - my apartment can accommodate both types of dog. I am only able to host small and medium-sized pets at my home but I am also available for traveling sitting (if you prefer I stay in your home).

About: I easily establish connection with different pets and animals since childhood. I took care of friends' pets (both cats and dogs), while they were traveling. I'm currently free and ready to take care of your pet almost everyday, starting at 11:00am till 09:00pm. Looking forward to taking care of your pet :3 As a huge lover of walking and running, your pet will not get bored with me. I will ensure unforgettable and delightful moments for your pet.
