About: I love dogs and am great at predicting and interpreting their needs and have experience with dogs of all sizes and sociability. I understand their need to feel comfortable and secure. I get them on a deep emotional level and I’m naturally very intuitive. I don’t believe in short cuts and always finish a task to my satisfaction which most people find to excel above and beyond their expectations. There’s no long days or hard days so long as I’m doing what I love: spending time with animals and making as many pooches as I come into contact with feel loved, cared for, and content. I promise not to fall IN love with yr dog but I can’t guarantee yr dog won’t fall for me!
About: My golden retriever pup has been described as "the happiest doggo", "the most beautiful" and "the most well trained" by several friends and strangers. I have groomed him and trained him from day one and continue to reinforce the right behavior. And of course, we have lots of fun together too... Otherwise what's the point? After welcoming my Golden Retriever into the family, pet care quickly became a central part of my daily life. It’s second nature to me now — our household runs around making sure every pet feels happy and cared for. Whether it’s a cat or a dog, I understand how important routine, play, and consistency are to helping them feel safe and cared for. I’ll make sure to follow your guidance closely so your pets feel right at home while you’re away.
“May was so amazing with my newly adopted Hunter. I was nervous to have him cared for so early in his adjustment to his new home. He met May and was immediately comfortable and I could tell her really liked her. She is kind and caring and took him on great walks and sent me the best pictures. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I have been a pet care provider all my life. I owned a private pet care business for almost 8 years that I sold in January 2021. In my first 6 1/2 years, I served over 1,000 unique pets. Before starting my business, I was on track to go to veterinary school, and have worked under 5 veterinarians, including a mobile vet, and at a spay-neuter clinic. You may recognize me from when I worked at San Francisco’s first pet shop, The Animal Company. I taught Pet-CPR and First Aid & have a fair amount of experience with senior cats & dogs, as well as dogs who are reactive & need to avoid interactions with passers-by while out on walks. I can also trim nails, give oral/injectable medicine, administer fluids, etc. I have a pretty flexible schedule; I own a consulting business and travel all over the city for work. I usually don’t work outside of San Francisco- feel free to inquire about my travel rates & availability. Probably not the best fit for a dog who needs someone around the entire day, but if your dog can be left alone for a few hours here & there we might be a good fit 👍🏽 I work remotely so I am pretty flexible in terms of adapting to your pet’s needs. I’m also pretty good at responding to call/text/email right away for added peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. I started by walking my aunt's dogs. Friends and Neighbors have also relied on me to walk and pet sit. I own a cute cat but can't own a dog because of the size of my apartment. So I would like the opportunity to play with adorable dogs. I like to wake up early for morning walks before work. I would like to become a dog walker so a four pawed friend can join me. I have years of pet sitting experience. My friends have flown me out to different cities so I can take care of their pets. I respect my clients home by watering their plants and taking care of their furry loved ones.
About: i only take on one dog at a time, so your dog will get my undivided attention. I've taken care of dogs ever since I was little as my family has 3 dogs - a chihuahua and two Maltese. As a huge dog lover, I've always held the responsibility of feeding, washing, trimming, and walking them. I know that we are our pets' whole world, so I truly understand the importance of giving them care, love, and attention. I am able to walk your dog on the weekdays/ weekends in the mornings, during lunch and in the evenings. I work from home in Nob Hill, so I am flexible on the weekdays. My dogs are currently not living with me right now as I moved away from my parent's house and am living in an apartment. I look forward to spending quality time with your furry animal and giving him/her all the attention and love!
“Kelsey was awesome! She communicated very well, and Tonks (our very shy Corgi) quickly opened up to Kelsey! She also considered the day's heat and adjusted her walking schedule to ensure they were shaded. Awesome service!”

“Sarine was very sweet and I appreciated her flexibility helping with my pup on short-notice! She was very communicative and gave me status updates on how Pico was doing whenever she saw him. Super helpful when I’m away from him at work!”

About: I easily establish connection with different pets and animals since childhood. I took care of friends' pets (both cats and dogs), while they were traveling. I'm currently free and ready to take care of your pet almost everyday, starting at 11:00am till 09:00pm. Looking forward to taking care of your pet :3 As a huge lover of walking and running, your pet will not get bored with me. I will ensure unforgettable and delightful moments for your pet.
“Lisa was so great! I could tell immediately that my dog Suzie really liked her. She came in for a short meet and greet and then took Suzie for an hour long walk - Suzie came back extremely happy!! Thank you, Lisa!”

About: I currently walk dogs for my neighbors and enjoy caring for them as if they were my own family! The most important beings the ones who bring smiles to our faces. I'm currently self-employed, so my schedule is flexible. I will always guarantee to arrive on time (if not, a few minutes earlier) to start caring for your furry loved ones. I always make sure to ask questions to the homeowner regarding safety measures, security access, and emergency situations. Constant communication is also important to inform the owners of what's going on to put their minds at ease.
“Rachel took great care of our dog so we could attend the warriors game and not worry about our dog. She sent photos to us of our dog, having a grand time with Rachel. Excellent job”

“Alexia was great!! Super communicative and flexible, and Juni came home very ready for a nap :). Juni can be a handful on walks and Alexia managed him with ease. We're excited for our next walk together. Thank you!!”

“I so appreciate Lauren and all her hard work! She began walking my newly adopted dog only a day after I adopted her. She rolled with the punches as I figured out Fern’s temperament and likes and dislikes and the best possible system and kept me apprised of anything she thought was worth noting which was so helpful! I immediately booked her for more walks and plan on using her again in the future. Thanks Lauren!!”

“Linda was very responsive, professional and helped me out when I was in a pinch & needed a last-minute sitter! She was very good with my high-energy puppy Roxy, and I would definitely book her again :)”

“Caroline was absolutely fantastic!! She came through super last minute on a walk for my fur baby! She was responsive, and her flexibility was so appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her and book her again. Thank you, Caroline!!!”
