Dog Walking Parkside

“Destiny has been amazing! She instantly clicked with my dog, Minne, which put me at ease right away. Communication was fast, clear, and thoughtful — I always knew when and how the walks were going. She was on time for every walk and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again. Thank you, Destiny!”

“Responsive, on time, friendly. What more can you ask for when looking for someone to walk your fur baby? Sherian was great with Ziggy! The fact that he’s currently laying down passed out on the floor means he had a wonderful walk. 😊 If you’re looking for a walker, I highly recommend Sherian!”

About: Now a mostly retired zoo professional, I have decades of experience in animal care, including having dogs for 30 years and caring for the pets of friends and family. I have a special fondness for seniors and have adopted several over the years. I am certified in pet CPR and I am volunteering at Muttville! Being in the presence of animals is my greatest joy.

“Roo was ecstatic to hang with Emily and play fetch when she came back for the second day of walking! Emily was an amazing communicator and easy to work with. Would love to use her again if schedules allow.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old, including family pets as well as the pets of friends and neighbors. I’m friendly, responsible, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m excited to provide loving and reliable care for your pets! I’m currently a student at SFSU, and my only in-person classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because I have a pretty open schedule for the rest of the week, I have plenty of time to care for pets! I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’d love to use my free time to spend it with animals and give them the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m respectful of the client’s home and always keep things clean and tidy. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs, and I’ll communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to make both the pet and their owner feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life so I have extensive experience caring for them. Now I have 3 dogs (2 pugs and a pitbull) that I walk, feed, and spend time with everyday so I’m definitely cut out for the job! I may be an extreme dog person but I do also have a cat and I have cat sat before. I am not currently employed elsewhere so I would be able to put my full time and attention into aiding your cat or dog! I’m typically available most days of the week especially in the afternoon. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to know that your pet is safe so I can confidently ensure you that safety is my top priority while handling your pet.

About: I have always had animals in my household. My pet family has included 7 cats, 7 dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, a chinchilla, a rabbit, birds, and fish. I have experience with senior animals as well as pups and kittens. I also have experience caring for sick animals and administering medicine. I am available for drop-in visits to give your pets all the attention they need. Let me know your scheduling needs and I’ll be happy to work something out. I will send you photos of your pets and treat them as if they were my own (with lots and lots of love and care!).

“Page was so great with our dog Bagel - Bagel was super excited to meet her and tired after their walk. She was on time, and very communicative as well which I appreciated. Thanks Page!”

I'm Aleksandra, 20 years old, and spending time with dogs and cats has always been a big and very important part of my life. Because of my love for pets, I also became a pet sitter. All my friends and clients didn't want any other pet-sitter because of my communication style with their pets. I became like a bestie to their fur babies, and they kept coming back to me over and over again. I've spent a solid 16 years caring for fur babies. I moved to the USA and miss having fur friends around. I found out about Rover and am ready to come back as a bestie for your pets.

I'm also available to stay overnight My approach always based on the individual needs and preferences of each pet. I am adapting to specific behavioral cues and signals to ensure the pet feels good.

About: I've fostered dogs of all sizes & breeds for 7+ years, and had 4 dogs of my own over the years. I work from home, my hours are flexible. Your pup is never alone. I focus on holistic care to support the well-being of a dog with exercise, play and nutrition. I am well-versed in dog behavior and use positive reinforcement to work with dogs when necessary. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. Special arrangement can be made to accommodate hours outside of my normal hours. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure my pet has fresh food and water, walk at least twice a day, and receives plenty of attention and affection. I work from home and my hours are flexible. I can take dogs on long or short walks, depending on their needs. I have a fence in yard. I use positive reinforcement techniques from years of working with foster dogs to encourage positive behavior. I follow clients' specific instructions and routines to keep their pets comfortable, safe, and happy while they are away. Their safety and well-being is my top priority.

“Fiona is great- we are so lucky she had availability for our dog and right off the bat communicates wonderfully and clearly understands stubborn terriers.”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with 5 years of experience, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and puppies. I provide loving care, regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away.🐶🩷 I’m currently waiting to hear back about my Master’s degree application in the Bay Area, which gives me a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. Unfortunately, because of my current lease agreement, I’m not allowed to have a pet of my own. As someone who comes from Istanbul, a city full of animals and known for its love of cats and dogs I really miss having animals around me. For me, pet sitting is the perfect way to fill that gap while helping pet owners feel at ease when they are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they receive the attention, care, routine, and affection they need. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment while their owners are away.💞 Every pet is different, and I believe caring for them means understanding their individual needs and personality. I have cared for multiple pets, each requiring a different approach. One of the Persian cats I looked after was 19 years old and needed special care. I had to prepare specific meals, make sure fresh water was always available, and assist him when he needed help getting to and from the litter box because of his age. For the Exotic Shorthair and Tabby cats I cared for, keeping their environment clean and making sure their litter boxes were well maintained was especially important. I also spent time playing with them and giving them attention so they felt comfortable and secure.💕 I have also cared for a dog who had unfortunately been abandoned three times in the past and struggled with anxiety. Whenever his owners left the house, he would cry loudly and become distressed. 😔The most important thing for him was reassurance, patience, and helping him understand that he wasn’t alone. Seeing him calm down and feel safe was incredibly rewarding.🐶❤️ Through these experiences, I learned that there is no single way to care for animals. Every pet has different needs, routines, and emotions. Once I understand what makes your pet comfortable and happy, I adapt and do my best to provide the care and attention they deserve.🙏🏻

“Meridith was a pleasure to meet and work with. She is clearly used to caring for animals and was great with my energetic puppy. He was drawn to her immediately despite general skiddish behavior with new people. A real testament to Meridith’s ability to work with animals!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an innate love for all dogs, big or small, and the feeling was always returned. I grew up with two Bichon Frises, Summer and Rosie. While you are away, I send daily photos and updates for extra peace of mind. I want your time away from home to be worry free. I believe that personal, one-one-one time is essential for the well being of all animals. While I am with your animal/s, strict adherence to daily routines will be followed to allow for an easy transition once in my care. If any emergencies should arise, I am extremely communicative and will try to reach you to rectify the situation. If you are not available, I will call your required emergency contact until the issue is resolved. I am also always available in the event you need to reach me, and will always keep you updated the whole step of the way. Before a booking is accepted, I offer a free meet and greet to ensure that all parties are acquainted and that everyone gets along. I will not accept a booking without first conducting a meet and greet, as this is essential to the safety and care of all parties involved. I look forward to taking care of your dog and making new friends :). I’m currently working at a veterinarian hospital. I’m allowed to bring your dog into work with me. I’d take them out every 2 hours for a potty break. I work 4 days a week. **VERY IMPORTANT** Due to recent changes at work, I'm no longer allowed to keep your dog in the front with me. They would be in a kennel, but I would take them out many times during the day. I live in apartment, so I don’t have a closed yard, but I live next to fort funston and lake Merced. My apartment building is very quite.

“Jill is exceptional! She always on time picking up Biscuit for his walk and is very communicative. She sends us updates with photos that we love. We cant recommend Jill enough :)”
