Dog Walking In Outer Richmond

About: I started pet sitting in college, assisting at Pet Girls Pet Sitters in Austin, TX. Since then, I've reliably watched my friends' and family's furry friends. I've fostered a handful of dogs, young and old <3, which was such a fun time! I'm currently working part-time during the day and have a flexible schedule. I have a car and a bike and can get around the city reliably. I've fostered a number of dogs, young and old. I have experience hanging out with and taking new-to-me dogs on walks and for playtime.

“Murphy enjoyed his walk with Aaron and was tuckered out :) Thanks for the photos and updates!”

“Samuel did a great job walking Chase every day for a week. He was very communicative and responsive setting up meet and great, and stopping by to pick up instructions and keys. He sent photos of Chase each day on their walks. I would recommend Samuel for dog walking.”

About: Hi, this is Bryan! I have a 5 year-old Yorkie boy (and a cat). We go on walks 3-4 times a day, we clean our face, paws, pp, and butt after each walk. While my dog is a couch-potato when he’s with me, he enjoys meeting and playing with other dogs, big or small. Hair brushing can be therapeutic. My professional background is Marketing, Branding, and Communications. So communication is a big thing for me. I like clear instructions, asking questions, providing updates, etc. Look forward to connecting and helping you with your fur babies! I’m currently a full-time stay home pet parent. So my schedule is highly flexible. It would be great if my 8 lb Yorkie can tag along, but not a must. Also, it would be ideal if I can reserve 3-5 hours/day away from your house during house sitting, to run errands or grab dinner with my husband. Let’s chat and find out the best schedule that works for us. Communications is key. I’m willing to accommodate your requests in taking special care for your pet because you know them the best, and each pet has their own likes and dislikes.

“Anais is fantastic! She's responsive, communicates clearly, and treats pets with genuine kindness and care. I trust her completely to walk my dog and always feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands.”

“Fantastic with Lyra!”

About: Being a remote freelance editor and copywriter, I've got a very flexible schedule and can likely make time for your kitties -- especially if you're in the western neighborhoods of San Francisco, where I can get to you quickly. I do have some blackout weeks and groups of days, but other than that I'm free to roam. The safety of your home and pets are of the greatest importance to me. I'll check in with you as frequently as you'd like about how your pets and your home are faring. I report home issues such as power outages or blown fuses, symptoms your cats might have acquired, or any other serious concerns right away. You should feel as confident and comfortable with me in your home as you would your closest friend.

About: I’ve been walking dogs since my family adopted Baby Bear (not a bear) when I was in middle school. I’m ready to meet a dog exactly where they’re at, which I can usually tell pretty quickly. I’m down to roll around on the ground at a moment’s notice. I mostly work remotely, with flexible hours, and I go for long walks in the middle of the day anyway, so it’s easy to bring a dog along! I can handle basically anything your dog throws at me wlth aplomb, and if the job requires me to be in your home, I’ll show it the utmost respect.

About: I live with my husband and young daughter and our family loves caring for animals! Please let us love your special pet while you're away! We have experience with kittens, active cats and dogs, and senior cats and dogs with declining health. We are very experienced with administering medication and providing support to animals with age and mobility challenges. For dog walking and checking in on your pet while you're away: I love going on walks throughout the city and spending a lot of time outside at many of SF's amazing parks. Why not take your pup with me? I work remotely Thursdays and Fridays, so if you'd like to set up an extended drop in stay during the day, let's chat and see what we can set up to meet both of our needs. For pet visits and stays in my home: I live within walking distance of both the Presidio and Golden Gate Park so we're able to give walks and exercise that best fits your pet. I also have a fenced in patio for cats who enjoy a sunny nap outside, and a fenced in backyard for pups who like to sniff around or take frequent potty breaks. Our house is pet friendly including lots of soft places to lay and relax in a sunny window or pet-friendly couch. I work from my home office and take frequent walks around the neighborhood for exercise and to run errands, so taking your pet out and about fits seamlessly into my routine. Things we have here to use during your pet's stay if you don't want to bring your own: - Litterbox - Food and water bowls - Blankets - Cat tree - Dog Leash I work from home most of the week with a very flexible schedule and take frequent walks around the neighborhood for exercise and to run quick errands. I also live within walking distance of the Presidio, the off leash dog park at Mountain Lake Park, and Golden Gate Park so I'm able to give your pup as much exercise as they need throughout the day. My availability does not currently include Monday - Wednesday, but for cats needing a longer stay (a week or more) let's talk! I may be able to make arrangements to accommodate your cat's schedule needs. I take pet care, health, and comfort very seriously. I will ask you questions about your pet's needs and preferences so that I can give the best care for them. These questions include food, potty, and rest schedule or queues for me to look for that are unique to your pet, preferences for play and affection, any rules that you prefer I follow (for example: specific commands or release words to eat), any medications or treats and how/when to give, etc. I used Rover for cat sitting services before I became a sitter and I loved communicative sitters who took many photos and gave detailed updates. I will be sure to give you plenty of information about how your pet is doing while you're away so you can feel confident about their care, but I will also be mindful to not message you too often so that you can enjoy yourself!

“Reliable, great with our dog, and nice person!”

About: We’ve raised puppies and kittens and have experience caring for senior pets. We’re a fun, attentive couple who loves to play, stay active, and make pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. Since we both work from home, we’re able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and care easily fit into our routine. We prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. We carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep a clean environment, and make sure pets feel secure, supervised, and well-loved at all times.

“Monica, is wonderful with Bugsy making sure he gets his treats from corner store. Always very communicative which is super helpful. She the best!”

Courtney W.

“Thank you for hanging in there with Jaynee. It’s important to find someone that I trust with our dog and her quirks. Nicole has shown to be in good communication with me and responds quickly when I contact her.”

Diane Z.

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Abigail was amazing! Our pup connected with her immediately and she asked lots of great questions to ensure she could make our girl as comfortable and happy as possible. Kinja really enjoyed her walks. She even went above and beyond, cleaning up after Kinja when she had some tummy trouble in the house.”

About: Hi! I’m Yasemin (Yas), a dog owner and lifelong dog lover. I work from home, so I’m able to provide a calm, attentive, and cozy environment for pups who need daycare during the workday or boarding while their parents are away. I have a fenced yard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time, and I’m home throughout the day to give plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate preferences, or any special needs. I have a friendly dog at home, so your pup will also have a companion. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I prefer to host dogs who are friendly with other dogs and do well in a home environment. I usually take only 1–2 dogs at a time, so your pup will get personal attention and won’t feel overwhelmed. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone, and I’ll treat your baby with the same care, patience, and love I give my own! Cheers! Yas I work from home so I am home most of the time during the week and the weekend. I am available for providing boarding as well as a day care sometimes. I live in an apartment and my unit is puppy proof and dog safe since I do have a dog at home as well! I will take care of your baby as the same I do take care mine! We will go to the golden gate park together for walks, and enrichment times! My dog and your dog can get to play each other as well so that’s a great bonus there! :)

About: Hello! I’ve been in the SF area for over 3 years now! I’m up for taking small and medium sized dogs on walks. I’ve done some dog walking when I was younger and am very persistent in watching dogs cues throughout a walk. I've taken care of cats since I was in high school. Many neighbors and family members have asked me numerous times to watch their cats! I have experience with both young and older cats. It can be hard to leave your cat at home, which I am very familiar with as I have a 2 cats of my own. I strive to make sure your cat feels loved and cared for by feeding them, changing water, cleaning their litter boxes, and lots of play time! In my free time, I volunteer at the SF SPCA where I help kittens and cats socialize and acclimate to human interaction. I currently work at Sutter Health CPMC as a music therapist, Monday through Fridays. I am available after 5:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and available on most weekends. I’ll let each dog/cat take their time in getting to know and build trust with them as in order to take them for walks or have them interact/play with me. I give my cats extra play time especially at night/dusk as they are nocturnal animals and would do so if checking in with your cat in the evening. I respect the cat's space and environment, letting them lead whether how affectionate they want to be or how much space they need.

About: I have been pet sitting and taking care of animals since I was a teenager. I started out helping family and friends when they went out of town and then began volunteering at the local spay and neuter clinic. My job there was to help the animals in recovery who had just gotten out of surgery. I have always loved animals, especially cats and dogs. I am unavailable in the evenings but mornings and afternoons any day of the week work great for me. My most convenient days would be Tuesday’s and Fridays but I am open to weekends and other days as well I like to go over to the clients house and start by just getting to know the pet. If they are shy I try to hang out around the house for a little while until they get used to my presence and feel more comfortable around me. Once I have been established as a friend and not a threat I will take them on a walk to the park or play with any toys they have around. I enjoy walking so dogs that like long walks are a good fit for me.

“Veronica has walked my dog several times now and it’s been seamless every time! She follows all instructions perfectly and when I come home Riley seems super happy/content. Also was able to accommodate a last minute request which was a lifesaver!”

About: Hi! I’m Masha, originally from Russia and currently living in San Francisco. I work remotely in health tech, which gives me the freedom to travel and spend time with animals in different parts of the world. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always loved being around animals. I’m calm, active, and responsible, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company while they relax, I’m happy to help however I can. Outside of pet sitting, I enjoy cycling, wingfoiling, surfing, running, snowboarding, and generally just staying active. I love peaceful environments, being close to nature, and taking good care of the homes and animals I’m trusted with. Looking forward to meeting you and your pups, kittens, parrots, rabbits and any other living creature!
