About: I became accustomed at an early age to being very attuned to the emotions of people around me, which has its ups and downs, but that almost innate intuition makes me stand out from a lot of pet owners/sitters, because I’m able to more accurately understand what dogs/cats in my care want/need and stand up for them since they aren’t able to speak up for themselves. I get to decide my work schedule on a weekly basis, so I’m quite flexible. If you’re out of town and need a house/pet sitter, I’m available whenever. Same goes for walks and drop-ins. I’ll be following any/all of your instructions to a T. Otherwise, I’ll be home the vast majority of the time working from home with your pet(s) keeping them company, feeding them, and taking care of their potty needs. In addition, I’ll take your dog on a walk 3-4 times a day so they get their exercise as well.

About: Hi! I’m Guidi,a full-time, home-based dog sitter providing a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pup. My husband Tom is assisting me with sitting your pup. We intentionally keep my care small and personal — I accept no more than 3 dogs at a time so every dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. Dogs in my home are treated like family. They are welcome on furniture and even on the bed if that’s what they’re used to, because I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and at home while you’re away. I have a secure backyard for playtime and fresh air, along with daily walks and lots of indoor interaction. Since I work from home full-time and do not have my own pets or small children, I’m able to give your dog my full focus and adapt to their unique personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic pups to calm seniors. My goal is simple — to give your dog a safe, happy, and stress-free stay while giving you peace of mind through consistent updates and communication. I don’t work so I can provide full-time pet care. I have two rooms and several crates so I can appropriately separate dogs that require special attention or care.I also prepare nutrient snacks and treats for your lovely pet. We live in a single house with comfortable furnitures and a fenced yard that he/she can run around. Crocker Amazon Park, a large, beautiful park just a short walk away from my home. It’s a wonderful, dog-friendly area I frequently walk with dogs. My home is about a 15-minute drive from SFO, which makes drop-off and pick-up very convenient when you travel.

About: Hi there! My name is Flora and I have 3 years of experience working in an emergency pet hospital along with 13 years of being a dog mom and pet sitter for friends. I also have an associate degree in veterinary technology. Although I do not practice anymore as an RVT and have switched careers, I still volunteer and love being around animals. Rover has been a way for me to fulfill my passion of caring for animals as I navigated through my career change. I’m currently working full time during the week, but I am available after 4pm for walks and most weekends. Although it says I’m unavailable, please message me to check in. Boarding will be limited to weekends only. Please check in regarding holidays. With my experience as a vet tech, I am confident in being able to provide the best care possible. I will cater my approach towards you and your pet’s needs. Boarding: I live in a pet friendly condo and have a separate room for dogs. I only allow one dog at a time due to having a pup of my own. When entering and exiting the building, your dog will always be on a leash. While walking dogs, I am highly aware of leash reactivity in the dog I am walking as well as other dogs around me. I will adjust the walk as needed (stopping, crossing the street, using treats or a toy).

About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

Dena and her husband are the absolute best -- so thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. They make sure to understand your dog's needs and give them individualized attention. My dog is a senior dog so she doesn't do long walks, but they made sure to give her plenty of attention and playtime! I could tell my dog had a blast and seemed so comfortable with them. Would book again anytime.

Frani is so wonderful with my little maltipoo Cali. Cali has never had anyone walk her except me, and Frani helped make the transition of having a dog walker a few times a week a breeze! Cali loves her, and they have a great time walking and sniffing around the neighborhood and dog park. Frani is reliable, on time, communicative, friendly, and a really nice person. I highly recommend Frani!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Outer Mission dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Outer Mission.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services.

The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
