Dog Walking in San Francisco

“Chriz was so great to agree to take our rambunctious 2-year-old Boston Terrier on a morning walk. She was punctual, kind, and great with our dog. Thanks, Chriz!”

About: I’m a 42-year-old gay dog lover who recently said goodbye to my own pup after 13 incredible years together. Caring for my dog has always been one of the best parts of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know every breed, quirk, zoomie level, and cuddle style out there. Pet care has been part of my daily routine for years. I recently lost my dog after 13 wonderful years together, and before that we took at least three walks a day — everything from quick neighborhood strolls to longer adventures exploring different parts of San Francisco together. I genuinely miss having a little shadow by my side, so caring for and walking dogs still feels like a natural and meaningful part of my everyday life. I love getting to know each dog’s personality, energy, and favorite routines. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and theirs. I follow each dog’s routine closely — including walks, feeding, medications, playtime, and cuddle preferences — while giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and calm energy. I also love sending photo updates so owners know their pups are happy and well cared for.

“Jocelyn was very attentive to my pup! Was able to be flexible with timing to accommodate my schedule. Will definitely book again.”

About: Hi! I’m Louis, and I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and helping care for pets for friends and family. I’m active, dependable, and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or extended care, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make every visit a positive, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care and plenty of attention to every pet I work with. I’m an active person who spends a lot of time outdoors, and one of the things I love most about living in San Francisco is having access to so many amazing parks, trails, and green spaces for dogs to explore. I live just a short walk from Golden Gate Park and near several neighborhood parks, making it easy to give dogs the exercise, fresh air, and enrichment they need. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply getting outside and exploring, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and engaging experience. I believe great pet care starts with trust, communication, and respect. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect established routines, and treat every home with the same care and consideration I would expect in my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries so they feel comfortable and secure. When caring for dogs at my home, we spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying fresh air, exercise, and enrichment. I live in an apartment community with a dedicated dog area and am fortunate to be surrounded by parks and green spaces, including Golden Gate Park just a short walk away. Whether your dog enjoys exploring, socializing, or taking a relaxed stroll, I’ll make sure they stay active, safe, and happy while in my care. Throughout every visit, I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“Joslyn is fantastic. Very responsive and easy to work with. Handled my large and excitable lab perfectly. 10/10!”

About: I had a dog growing up as a child and have taken care of my friends dogs numerous times. I also volunteer at the SFSPCA and play/walk with all the pups there. I currently have two lovely cats and hope to adopt a dog again once I have a home with outdoor space! I am currently taking a career break from the corporate life to explore my passions and see what may inspire me in the future. Therefore, I have plenty of time to take care of your babies 😊 My cats are strictly indoor only as I feel this is the safest way to take care of cats (especially in a city). I do take my cats out on a leash at the park occasionally for outdoor time. I think it’s important for all cats to get playtime on a daily basis, snuggles (if they like that), and of course their feeding/hygiene routine. I brush my cats every 2 days. I am equipped to adapt to your cats routines.

“Great experience!”

“Thank you Olesia for watching our boys! You were absolutely amazing!!! You kept is updated with photos and messages and followed all our instructions perfectly. I know our high energy puppy is a lot of work! Thank you again.”

About: While I haven’t worked professionally as a dog sitter for many years, I grew up with dogs and have been around them for most of my life. Caring for our family dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to learn their routines and preferences to provide the best care possible. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure and happy. Whether caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I will follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they receive the same level of care I would give my own pets. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“Great communication and loved the pictures!”

About: I grew up with three golden retrievers, so I’m very used to zoomies, big personalities, and a little bit of chaos (in the best way). I loved every second of it. I’ve handled everything from long walks and endless games of fetch to feeding, baths, vet visits, and teaching basic commands. These days, I’m the go-to dog sitter for my friends whenever they travel. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that). You can expect a happy pup and plenty of updates while you’re away! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays. On weekends, I spend most of my time in the city, enjoying parks, walking around, and hanging out with friends. Am happy to fit any needs into my schedule! I tailor my approach based on the individual needs of each pet. Regular walks, playtime, and exercise are essential components of my care routine, ensuring the pets stay happy and active.

“David is awesome! He shared pictures and walked with Sierra. He was very methodical and also shared some tips on leash walking as well. Would highly recommend him!”

About: I am a cat mom of two but also in love with dog. I have many experiences pet sitting my friends’ pets and love hanging out with them✨ My after work schedule is usually pretty flexible. I am open for home sitting (at my place) or drop in visit during weekdays and weekend. I have many friends that have cats so I am access to a lot of cat resources.

My apartment have corner windows so we get a lot of sunlight during the day time. Cats are always having fun hanging around and enjoying all the city and bird views.

About: I have been lucky enough to grow up with a family that loved animals and a household full of pets. We had chicken running around our backyard, ducks and quail. We had a cat, Named Kat, who was afraid of the chicken. Somehow always had a pair of parakeets that had the same names, Jasmine & Lightning (don’t ask!). My grandparents had a little farm , so every summer when we would visit, we would drive to the country side and spend a few days there. In June of 2021, I was blessed with 2 beautiful daughters; My cats Penny & Wini who are the actual loves of my life (My husband knows and understands) and they are the most amazing, most perfect thing that ever happened to me. Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime with any questions and I like to try to respond almost as soon as possible if not immediately Looking forward to make even more furry friends in this beautiful city! If you wish to expedite the booking process, please include the following in your message: 1) Location 2) Normal walking/feeding/play routine (length, time of day, etc) 3) Medical/special needs 4) Any aggression issues towards certain people/animals 5) Any additional info I look forward to meeting your furry friends! *Overnight Pricing: For overnight stays, the listed price includes a morning/early evening walk and a potty break before bed (and, of course, snuggles and attention while I am staying inside a home). Any additional walks/special needs may incur an additional charge. **Camera Policy: I had an experience where a client did not inform me of a camera hidden in their bedroom and I was recorded in various states of undress during a stay. As such, in order to protect my privacy, I reserve the right to disable any undisclosed cameras and, in extreme cases, cancel a stay. Please feel free to let me know if any clarification is needed regarding this policy. I’m currently wfh part-time and on summer break from school. My schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend a lot of time with the pets and not be away for more than a few hours if need be. I Follow exact care instructions and all boundaries. I keep pets on the same schedule and routine so they dont go through more change than needed.

“Tatiana walked my dog on a weekly basis for almost a year. There’s no one I’d recommend more! Tatiana was incredibly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with. Tatiana always asked questions to make sure Belle was completely taken care of and always made sure to make the walks work with our schedules. I completely trusted Tatiana to take care of Belle during their walks. Even though Belle was one of the first dogs Tatiana walked, I’d happily vouch for Tatiana’s willingness and consideration to learn and for putting a dog’s needs first.”

“Reliable and communicative. She managed to handle our dog that is still learning leash manners and would love to have her back in future if schedules permit!”

“Charles was fabulous with Sierra. We will definitely use him again when we travel to San Francisco. He was friendly and welcoming, especially given Sierra had not met him before and she can get anxious.”

About: I am a very active person. I take my own German Shepherd and Labrador out for long adventure walks and finding new hiking places around the city. I live in an apartment with no yard so I have to make sure my pups have enough play time and mental stimulation. I am willing to run with dogs, play with them, take them to the park as well as just having quiet relaxing walks. I am good with any breed of dog and any size and am also good with cats, too. I own two cats myself and she is very playful. I am capable of continuing your pets education by enforcing the basic commands such as sit, down, off and come. I can also use commands and train pets by the owner’s preferences. I currently work at Sunset Veterinary Hospital part time so I am available most days or even on my lunch while in the area to watch and walk your pups and kitties! I am not able to do any boarding because of my buildings regulations but I can spend time with your pets in your own home for most of the day. I will do any pet chores necessary and can make sure the pets eat and play. I can accommodate for any requests. I want to make sure the pets are happy and healthy throughout the entire day with me. If there are any pet chores needed like leaving food and water and I can follow any feeding instructions. I love to train dogs and give them the required amount of mental stimulation as well as playtime. I don’t mind playing any games with your pups with or without toys. I can take the pups to different parks and fields as well as beaches.

“Yasmim’s calm and nurturing presence won the trust of our anxious dog. She has gone above and beyond for us and we cannot thank her enough for that! We’re so glad we found Yasmim.”

About: I’ve never met a pet I didn’t want to be friends with. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether they’re an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a little bit of a menace. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and you’ll probably get more photos of your pet than you asked for because I have zero self control when it comes to fur babies. I'm currently working remote and my availability has opened wide up. I love to stay active and doing things so why not do something i love (hang with cute animals) while i have the free time! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained until you get home. I’m great at following routines, giving lots of attention, and making friends with pets on their terms (even the ones who like to play hard to get). Whether that’s a walk, a game, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the care they deserve.
