Dog Walking Vista Del Monte

About: I love all animals. From the time I was a toddler until now I've had dogs, cats, mice, a rat, a snake, an iguana, countless fish, toads, frogs, and a cockatiel. I also spent lots of time with other people's pets helping to socialize and train them, and even volunteered at the Anti-Cruelty Society helping socialize abused and abandoned dogs and cats. When petsitting, I prefer to get meet and get to know the dog(s) and/or cat(s) first if possible. This way we can all be sure it's a good fit and I can understand their needs, habits, and any potential triggers before coming into their house. I understand that for many families petsitting can be a full-time task to allay any anxieties of the critter(s) and their family. That said, for other families with fur babies full-time attention is not required and I am flexible in that regard. I am experienced at caring for up to three nonterritorial, friendly, socialized canines at once or up to twelve cats as well as being comfortable in mixed cat/dog households. I greatly enjoy providing socialization between dogs and can even work with a young, inexperienced, or unsocialized dog or cat to help them make more furry friends in the future. I am also skilled at providing medical care to elderly and ill dogs, and am knowledgeable in pet CPR. There are three parks in easy walking distance of my building as well as the Embarcadero for those longer walks. If your cat is the outdoorsy type, I am open to outside time with them as well. I live in a safe and secure building with quick access to the outdoors for speedy elimination in inclement weather. However I generally prefer to take walks whenever possible for as long as possible so your pup and I can run, play, and enjoy new sights, sounds, and smells. A tired doggy is a happy doggy! I currently work from home so am able to spend much of the day giving lots of attention to the favored furry friend in your life. I live in a secured building, with no other dogs in the home but many in the surrounding neighborhood. I can continue crate training, but only upon request and provision of a crate.

“We use Regine & Sam for our weekly walks. They are reliable, and our pup Fiona loves when they arrive to walk her. Communication is always pleasant and professional. Highly recommend!”

“Paulina took Stella for an hour walk - they got lots of steps in and sent multiple photos with hilarious captions. She is the best as always!!”

“Dena was great with Wally. He liked her immediately and I trust his instincts. She followed my instructions to a T and was conscientious of the heat and came early for walks when it was too hot out in the afternoon. He can be stubborn but she worked with him and was patient. Thanks Dena!”

“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: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets from rats to cats to spiders and one rehabbed squirrel. I am a huge animal lover and I’m the top choice when my friends ever need a pet sitter because I’m so in love with their pets and love to go above and beyond when taking care of them. That means you absolutely don’t need to worry about them getting enough attention and love because they will get LOADS I hav experience taking care of senior pets and special needs pets and I do my best to really establish a trusting relationship so they know when I’m around everything is going to be ok. It would be my pleasure to meet more lovely pet parents and help them out whenever they need! I hav a very chill job as a personal assistant so I have lots of availability. And my hobby is reading and writing so you get a very very chill person in your space that you can count on to be respectful and drama free I can offer a variety of pet care, I can do overnights or several hours and I can also do just a quick drop in if that’s all you need. I don’t have a car so unfortunately unless a uber is covered I can’t take them to the vet or things like that but I’m happy to spend my day at a nearby park or just read a nice book with them in your lovely home. Whatever works for you and of course you can just let me know whatever it is you need, it would be my pleasure to accommodate 🥰

About: Lifelong dog owner with over 25 years of pet-sitting experience and 400+ volunteer hours at animal shelters. Reliable, attentive, and passionate about every pup. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during select weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I love getting outside with dogs and will always make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’ll communicate clearly and send photo updates after every visit so you know they’re in great hands. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, use secure leashing practices, pay close attention during walks, and make sure your pet has fresh water and plenty of affection. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit so you can have peace of mind. Having cared for dogs my entire life, from running a pet-sitting business for over 10 years to volunteering 400+ hours at an animal shelter, I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities.

About: I grew up with multiple family dogs - golden retrievers, labs, mastiffs - all big ol’ four pawed loveys! I’ve worked in early childhood education and used to own a daycare for years, and I’d always say, “You can’t fake it with puppies and babies; they know who likes them and who doesn’t!” And I DO love the pups! I have a great respect for pets, their space, and individual personalities. I take pride in being a reliable, caring, fun human they can count on. And I’m happy to be a dependable person their owners can trust. While working with kids, I’ve taught many children how to interact and engage with dogs. It’s helped me become even more in tune with dogs’ personalities and moods. I’m proud of how quickly dogs usually take to me and can tell I’m there to be their buddy! I have experience giving meds, being with senior dogs, and also visiting and house sitting cats and rabbits. I’m home during the day, and ready to play and care for the dogs that are with me. My mom also lives in the home - so there’s usually family around for engagement. My weekends are open for me to spend with visits or full time boarding in my home. My yard is fenced in and very safe. I also have a gated deck before the yard that gets soaked in sunshine for those nice outdoor naps. My mom and teenage kids are also home throughout the day, so there’s plenty of opportunity for interaction. We are just 15 mins to the airport, so it’s an easy and stress free drop off before a flight. At your home, I’m great with following direction and lead to keep pets feeling safe with someone new in their home. Consistency and routine are big to me!

About: Hi! I’m Joseph! I’m a passionate dog lover here in Noe Valley (20+ years). I am a writer who works from home in a quiet, peaceful environment with an enclosed backyard,so your pup will enjoy plenty of comfy spaces to relax. I only care for one dog at a time, so your furry family member gets my full attention—just like they would at home. I am 5-Star Rated on Rover and completed my Doggy First Aid training. Whether you’re heading to work, traveling, or just need a break, you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and deeply cared for. No set check-in/check-out times — we plan everything around your schedule. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like family. I’m a writer and always at home unless I run out to the gym. In that case, I have a doggie cam to monitor your pup. This is only necessary for multi-day stays. I have a fenced in yard that is only accessed by a key. My home is clean and comfy. I treat my dog guests as I do my human guests. At this time I am only taking 1 dog at-at-time unless they are from the same family.

“Dana was very punctual and communicative! She was also super flexible when I made a mistake with the booking and really helped me out. Would definitely book her again!!”

About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

“So grateful for Katheryn. She did an incredible job with my dog Clementine. Took such good care of her and gave me a great report after. Will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Lauren was great with my dog! I wasn't worried at all about Violet while I was gone, even when she got an upset stomach and felt sick. Lauren communicated well, asked good questions when I showed her the ropes, and clearly responded to Violet's needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Irina is my savior! She is wonderful with my dog, Emilio, and I am so grateful to have a lovely, kind, and trustworthy person that I can rely on while I'm at work. It's clear she loves animals and your pet will be in good hands with her :) Thank you, Irina!”

About: Hi! My name is Ceci! And I come with 7+ years of professional pet care under my belt, but I have been caring for animals all of my life! I am fear free and pack pro certified! I have experience with doing Oral and topical medications for dogs and cats! I do have a full time job 35 ish hours a week but I am mobile so I do go home mid day so pup can use the potty (I have a fenced in back yard) and be active and enriched until I get home for the day and the rest of those hours in a day are free roaming my home! I do have crates for unattended long periods of time. Dogs: my home is their home while under my care! They get treated as my own free range of the home when I’m home and can watch them, during long period of unattended time I do have crates for pups that REQUIRE meaning if they have a hard time self regulating or chew things while unattended if not they do get to free roam and have access to to beds and couches. Cats: for cats I provide house visits and I do have a cat at home and he’s quite possessive over his home with other cats. He is great with dogs (he was raised by a lab and I’m sure thinks he’s a dog)

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who's been around large dogs my entire life. At home, I have a sweet 3-year-old cat named Pepper, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My favorite pets are the ones who love to relax on the couch just as much as they enjoy getting outside for a walk or a game of fetch. Whether your dog is a playful retriever who can't get enough tennis balls or a couch potato who just wants company and cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I'm happy to match their energy—whether that's playtime, snuggles, or simply keeping them company. I'm proud to provide an LGBTQIA+ friendly, inclusive, and judgment-free experience where every pet parent is welcome. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, or overnight care, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I'll do my best to stick to your pet's normal schedule. I'm also comfortable administering routine medications and following any special care instructions to make sure your pet receives the attentive, personalized care they deserve. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My biggest priority is making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you're apart. I'll follow your pet's routine closely, keep your home tidy and secure, and make sure they have everything they need—from fresh food and water to playtime, enrichment, and affection. I'm also comfortable administering routine medications and following detailed care instructions. One thing you can count on is lots of updates! As a cat mom to Pepper, I know my favorite part of having a sitter is receiving plenty of photos and messages. I'll send regular pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for you to feel like you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.

“Monica has been very helpful and communicative when taking care of Juno in several occasions. We always come back home to a happy puppy, which is the best! Highly recommend her 🙏🏻”

Jessica P.

“Wonderful experience! Super communicative, kind and very helpful. Gabriela was warm and direct from day 1 and the trip away went so well! No issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a walker or dog sitter in the SF/ Bay Area. Thank you!!!!”

About: Hi pet parents! My sweet, friendly dog, Henry, and I would love to have your dog over to join in on the fun. We live within walking distance of several parks and also enjoy beach days if your dog is up for it. Other than walks, Henry loves a good wrestle and in general is a great companion. We leave the back door open during the day so the dogs can go in and out to the fenced garden as they please. I host only one guest dog at a time, so your pup receives lots of individualized attention and will become part of our daily routine. Whether your pup is social and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel secure and at home. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! We're an active family and like to go on 3 walks per day. We live within walking distance of several parks and love spending time on the beach at Fort Funston. I'm home all day with Henry and your dog will never be left home alone. We have an enclosed backyard with 6 ft+ fencing and we frequently leave the back door open so the dogs can come and go as they please.

“Francis was very easy to work with. They followed the guidelines for the dogs well, and provided timely and effective communication. I'm looking forward to future bookings 👍🏽”
