“Jeffrey is an excellent dog walker! He’s communicative, caring, and reliable. We can always trust that our dog is in good hands with him. When she was healing a slight injury, he was extra careful, followed all of our care instructions, and gave us detailed updates after each walk. 10/10!”

“Jesse was super flexible and took care of my baby with last minute notice! Knowing that he was getting attention and exercise from Jesse put this new dog mom at ease while being at work. Will definitely be a regular of Jesse’s clients!”

About: Here to provide a happy and safe place for your dog to stay while you are away. Our house is myself and my 6 year old Aussie mix, Belinda, live blocks from GGP, Ocean Beach, and just a quick drive to Chrissy Beach. Our morning always starts with a beach or trail walk before coming home to relaxing house vibes. We live in a single family home with large full sun backyard with level access to den furnished garage for dog hang out space, otherwise house is fully accessible with work from home energy. We are looking for 2+ year old dogs over 30lbs or more - all dogs must be spayed or neutered and have basic obedience. Our typical routine involves off leash walks and expect dogs to have strong recall and able to be walked on voice control trails. Expecting dogs that can maintain low indoor engergy between active routines for early and end of day 40+ min walks utilizing local nature around Richmond neighborhood. Daily activity routine is commonly a mix of; - Morning beach walk at OB, Chrissy Beach, or Fort Funston (40-60min) - these are typically off leash where allowed but always ensuring a good run about, recall skills are expected. If not comfortable on leash walking can be supported. - Midday neighorhood walk (15-30min) - Local walk around the neighborhood to get sniffs and some movement in - End of day park/beach/trail walk (30-50min) - Depending on day and weather; GGP, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, Funston etc are used end of day walk. To ensure this is a good match for all the dogs (and people) involved, please make sure when you send a booking request, please update your dog's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to insurance policy, we can't accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Chow, and Rottweiler). Looking to ensure the dogs have a great time and owners feel good about your time away and trust a safe and fun enviroment is being created for your pet. 1) Is your dog able to be walked off-leash on trails where "off leash under voice control" is allowed with reliable recall response? Recall is when verbal or singled command is given dog returns to comfortable space to either leash or hold based on situation. Belinda and I walk regularly off leash at allowed areas and want to ensure we do not endanger your dog or other's while being off leash together in these areas. 2) Does your dog have any known separation anxiety tendenceies? Either when away from people or when left with other dogs? This could be expressed through whining, barking, destruction of property etc? If so - is your dog crate trained to provide comforting and secure place when errands or other normal life activities are required during stay. 3) Does your dog have watchdog mindset of barking based on common stimuli like footsteps outside, unknown voices, garage doors opening/closing? A space that may have other dogs and work from home activities this type of energy can be stressful to all and may not be an ideal fit. 4) Following a walk, is your dog still "full of energy" - ensuring the energy of the space is maintained during stays, generally house in in relaxing/focused mode between large walks with dogs and humans respectively. 5) Does your dog have any destructive behaviors (shoes, sock, furniture, etc)? Is your dog potty trained? 6) Is your dog comfortable being with multiple dogs? While total dogs are limited to 4, including Belinda, this can still be overwhelming for some dogs and want to make sure this space is the right potential space for your dog. 7) Let me know any other details you think would be helpful to know about your dog - general routines, favorite activities, known reactive situations, possives with toys/treats etc. Schedule typically starts early around 6:15-6:30 for potty and food - then longer morning walk. From there mid day walk is optional based on schedule for the day and how the dogs are doing, large backyard always availbale. End of day another longer walk before dinner and evening hang time, second walk typically never repeats first walk of the day. House has large fenced backyard and one female dog who loves her beach walks, fetch, and hanging with other dogs. Only looking for dogs that match similar energy and get along with others. We want this to be a safe place for all and dogs to delight and owner's to be worry free while your dog stays with us knowing they are being loved and cared for well while here.

“Maya was here in a pinch! She was so gentle with our dog and communicative. She was thoughtful and reached out to me during a rainy day knowing our dog was not a fan of rain to discuss how to modify her visit to allow for indoor entertainment! Would highly recommend.”

About: I've had dozens of dogs as a kid as my family would foster dogs and then find them new homes. The breeds would range from chihuahuas to pitbulls to terriers, etc. I was in charge of taking care of them for a good portion of my childhood and went into owning a cat of my own in the middle of college. I have a loving relationship with pets and have been apart of all my childhood pets training process as I watched them grow, and eventually join a dog competition! I can dedicate as much time needed to play with your pups or pets. My availability is completely open right now so just let me know. I have an apartment with a backyard near golden gate park so there is ample walking and green space near me for running around and exercise.

About: Hi everyone!! I am a recent graduate of USF and an SF native. I'm especially well versed in puppies, as I have been a puppy foster for the SFSPCA and an in-shelter puppy volunteer for 8 years. I have two dogs of my own! I love working with dogs and I am also able and confident in socializing puppies to set them up for success and healthy adulthood —along with helping puppy and new dog parents! I am flexible throughout the day and week as I am currently preparing for grad school without other obligations. I also am pretty knowledgeable about walking spots and parks in SF so I would make sure your pup has a fun, enriching time! I’m very good at following directions with feeding, medication, as well as other needs that the pup has! I’ll be in constant contact with updates if needed—the safety and security of pets is the most important to me!

About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights. I’m also comfortable caring for smaller dogs, and have experience with terrier mixes and pugs. I’m available all day every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I can be flexible to meet your needs! On Fridays and weekends, I’m available only in the evening. I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.

About: Hello, I’m Emily! I recently moved to San Francisco after getting married in June. My husband got a job here, so we made the move from Wisconsin and are excited to start this new chapter! I’ve always been a huge dog lover and love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have my own dog, Finn, a chocolate Lab, at home, so I know how much our dogs mean to us. I’d love the opportunity to take your dog on walks, give them some extra love and attention, and make sure they have a fun and happy time while you’re away. I’d be so excited to get to know your pup and treat them like my own! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your dog! I’d love the opportunity to help with dog walking and am happy to work around a time that’s convenient for you! When it comes to dog walking, your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure to walk in safe, dog-friendly areas, use the proper equipment, and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and behavior throughout the walk. I’ll also be mindful of weather conditions, traffic, other dogs and people, and anything else that could potentially make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ll follow any specific instructions or routines you provide and make sure your dog is secure before, during, and after every walk. With my own dog, Finn, his wellness and safety are always my number-one priority, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every dog I have the opportunity to look after. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for!

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.

“Aaron provided excellent care for our dog Honey. He walked her 6x over 2 weeks. Honey was timid the first couple of times, but Aaron was very patient with her while the trust grew. He’s very communicative and flexible which is greatly appreciated. We’ve already booked him for the next time we need dog walking services!”

About: My husband and I love dogs and look forward to hosting yours! I am a UX Designer and my husband works in clean energy development. We will care for your dog as if s/he were our own, and pay close attention to any special instructions. We have a 5 year old Pekingese who loves to play with other dogs. We only host one dog at a time, so your dog will get special attention. We enjoy playing and cuddling, in addition to the necessary essentials (walking, feeding, etc). We have a lot of space both indoors and out in our backyard, and we live a few blocks from the park. We have a toddler, and we don’t smoke. We keep our home clean and tidy. We are available for weekend care. We have 10 years of experience caring for dogs. We work mostly from home so we are flexible in terms of schedule. We walk our dog a few times a day and would walk yours with him. Your dog will hang with us and our dog, who is a friendly little guy. If for some reason they don’t get along (unlikely) we will keep them separated.

“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: Hello, I’m available to walk your dog and/or check-in on your cat. I have my own dog and cat. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks or to parks, like I will yours. I love cats, playing with them and petting them. I can change their litter and any other task needed.

I provide dog and cat services for pet owners in the Richmond District. I provide long walks for dogs, fill food and water bowls and any other services at your request.

“Bryan is great adapting to the needs of our two dogs. Bryan did a thorough meet and greet and our girls came home happy and ready to relax after each walk. Bryan is patient, calm, and so easy for humans and dogs to be around.”

About: I've spent over 10 years around dogs and cats, caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and household members. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic medications, litter box maintenance, and providing attentive companionship. As a professional climbing coach, safety, reliability, and communication are central to my work, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a professional climbing coach, I maintain a structured schedule and place a high value on reliability and clear communication. I make time for pet visits, walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins throughout the week, and I enjoy providing pets with consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and litter box instructions, and I make sure pets have plenty of attention and companionship based on their individual needs and personality. I treat clients' homes with the same respect and care that I would my own and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to changes in behavior. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners.
