Dog Walking in Parkside, San Francisco

About: I have cared for animals my whole life- primarily cats, but also dogs, guinea pigs, and fish- and I love them all! I have experience caring for diabetic cats and can assist as needed with that. I am happy to give your pets all the attention I can while you are away! I am a freelance trombonist and music educator in the Bay Area. My flexible schedule allows for care at any time of the day and for as long as needed. I care for pets in my home by having several designated food and litter box areas for my cats, as well as ample space for them to have alone time.

“Just met Ronnie a few weeks ago. She has walked my elderly pup Tula five times. Ronnie always communicates quickly, follows all directions needed for my old Border Collie, and sends photos and a map of where she and Tula walked. I and my pup Tula are so glad we have met Ronnie! JB”

About: I've worked with senior pets, puppies/kittens, and everything in between! Feel free to hit me w/ yours! Can't wait to meet your pet--hopefully multiple pets! I'm currently working part-time, so I've got loads of time to take care of your pets! I would love to fill my time this way and keep your little ones company. :) Caring for pets in the client's home is super easy! Keeping the pet in their safe space/environment works wonders for them, especially the anxious ones! Happy to be of service with any of them.

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and dispositions. From tiny toy breeds to giant breed dogs, I understand and cater to the unique needs of every canine companion. I’m confident in handling reactive dogs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, and I excel in caring for energetic puppies as well as senior dogs needing extra patience and compassion. I have hands-on experience administering medications, including giving injections when needed, ensuring the process is as stress-free as possible for the dog. Additionally, I provide baths and some grooming services, keeping your furry friend looking and feeling their best. Every dog in my care receives personalized attention and thoughtful care tailored to their individual needs. I currently take my dogs for morning and evening walks on the beach so your pup can join in or we can schedule a time for individual walks or visits. I do not currently offer in home boarding services although that may change if you have a well behaved dog that gets along with my other dogs.

About: Family&Friends have relied on me to take care of their furry babies. I’ve looked after dogs that needed daily meds to 8week old puppies to senior dogs that need love and extra patience. I have a pretty flexible schedule working as a freelance film producer which allows me to work from home. I have a dog who I take on walks 3-4x a day. I figured since I already do it for my sweet angel, I can help someone else out in the neighborhood :) I treat pets like babies 🥰 I love cuddling and playing with them. I let pets on my furniture for maximum comfort and if needed, I carry them up and down stairs. Except for my English bulldog, he’s 60lbs 😅

“Page was awesome and we would rebook her again! She was timely and communicative throughout our booking! As first time users of Rover, and Alfie's first time having a dog walker drop-in, she made it very easy for us to trust her and her experience walking small dogs. She went above and beyond our requests and provided detailed updates of her visits. Thank you so much Page for being a responsible and loving dog walker!”

About: I have had my own dogs the last 25 years and am the aunt to many dogs in the family and in the neighborhood. All the pups know I care around treats! I have experience with a wide range of breeds. I am a very active person so your dog is sure to go on many walks followed by naps! I am retired so I am available whenever. With my last dog, a yellow Labrador named Kesha, I went on about 4 walks a day. My house is two levels and your dog is free to roam around as they wish. I have a backyard on the ground level so if hosting a senior dog, they won't have to use the stairs.

“We booked Bailey to walk our dog for two days. Everything went great and she was highly responsive (even sending pictures)! Would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their pet.”

“Mathew did a great job walking our pups. He was on time and personable. Our original walker fell through and Mathew filled in with short notice which we really appreciated.”

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.

“Miriam was friendly, responded to my request promptly, took our dog on a nice walk and provided details about where they went and what our dog did. I am happy to have had Miriam take our dog for a walk.”

I’m currently studying Biology at SFSU, which has sharpened my skills in observation, routine, and handling responsibility under pressure. I also have lots of experience caring for my own animals Lucas & Lucy who are two very large Saint Bernards. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications, keeping to feeding schedules, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their environment stays safe and tidy. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, or just companionship. I have a part time job, but I work minimal hours so i’m quite available and flexible with daily routine. I’m organized and efficient, so I make sure your pet’s needs are prioritized without disrupting my schedule. I always keep a flexible schedule to accommodate all requests! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I make sure the environment stays stress free by tending their usual feeding schedules, sleep areas, and other routines. I’m meticulous about cleanliness, ensuring their space is tidy, their belongings are respected, and everything is in place when you return. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health and I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, exercise, or diet. Above all, I ensure your pet feels safe and secure, knowing that their home remains their safe space while you’re away.

“Mookey was so great with our two pups! They clearly really clicked with him and had a great time out in the world. Mookey went above and beyond to find some fenced in space for them run around and get extra exercise, and took tons of amazing photos and videos.”

“Kira came to meet our dog Monty, who is a reactive rescue pup, and while it didn't work out (Monty was very reactive that day), Kira was very kind, patient, and eager to try to bond with Monty. I'm hopeful we'll have another opportunity to work with her when Monty is in a better place!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner, I will provide personalized care tailored to the unique needs of every pup. My journey as a pet caregiver right from when I started owning/rescuing dogs from the age of 16, has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to create a safe, happy and enriching environment for dogs of all breeds and ages. I also volunteer/foster at the local rescues as I love being around dogs and have over time had experience caring for many furry friends! Here's what sets me apart: Puppy Expertise: I specialize in working with puppies guiding them through critical developmental stages. From potty training and crate acclimation to basic obedience commands like 'sit', 'stay' and 'leave it', I focus on fostering positive behaviors with patience and consistency. Senior Dog Care: Caring for senior dogs requires a gentle touch and specialized attention, and I provide just that. I'm experienced in managing mobility issues, administering medications and ensuring older dogs are comfortable, happy and loved. I cared for several of my own senior dogs that needed medications during their last years. I will request the dog owner to provide detailed instructions on the medications that need to be administered to their senior dogs so these can be followed when your dog is under our care. Behavioral Understanding: As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has a unique personality. Whether your pup is high energy and playful, or shy and reserved, I tailor my approach to suit their needs. I'm skilled at recognizing body language and responding to behavioral cues, ensuring a stress free experience for your furry baby. Having cared for dogs myself with behavioral challenges and aggression issues, I have over the years gained experience on ensuring a stress free environment for the dogs and also providing training to address behavioral challenges A Loving Home Away from Home: When your pup stays with me, they become a part of my family. I live in a single family home which is is dog-friendly, has a large secure fenced in yard inspite of being in the city, with plenty of room for play and rest (indoors and outdoors). Plus my own dog, Tora -a brindle mix provides great companionship and socialization. She is known in our community as the playful host who will make sure your dog has plenty of activity and play time! We also are close to Golden Gate Park with several on-leash/off leash trails, Fort Funston, Stern Grove park and walking distance from Ocean Beach that has multiple trails for walking and allows for safe, off leash experiences! With a combination of hands-on experience, specialized skills, and genuine love for animals, I go above and beyond to ensure every pup I care for feels safe, loved, and well taken care of.

I usually walk the dogs atleast twice a day and give multiple potty breaks and play time! Caring for pets is more than just a job - it's a responsibility I take to heart.

I maintain a consistent routine, including regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your pet happy and healthy. Personalized Attention: I cater to each pet’s specific needs, from managing dietary requirements to creating a comfortable space for rest or alone time. Socialization: My dog, Tora, is a friendly and playful brindle mixed breed who loves making new friends and is very playful. If your pet enjoys socializing, they’ll have a great companion! If your dog has anxiety or does not get along with other dogs, I have arrangements where I can keep the dogs separate to ensure your dog is still able to enjoy their stay at home without adding anxiety. I have multiple rooms in my home where I can keep the dogs separate. Play & Exercise: We engage in fun activities tailored to your pet’s energy level, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or leisurely strolls at Fort Funston, Ocean beach trails, Golden Gate Park etc Monitoring & Safety: I supervise interactions closely, ensuring a safe and stress-free environment for everyone.
