Dog Walking in Western Addition, San Francisco

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends etc. I used to always have cats around the house in my home town when I was a kid, but I grew up to love dog friends so much too:) I always have real difficulties answering the question if I'm a dog or a cat person:) Happy to walk, play, feed, bathe, give an oral medicine if needed. I'm working part-time with flexible hours on my own project, so I have plenty of availability to care for cats/dogs and provide home visits/house sitting. I'm available on weekdays pretty much any time if booked ahead. Weekends can be a bit trickier to accommodate, as the majority of Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, skiing, etc. However, I am occasionally available in town on weekends as well. I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and following the owner's instructions. I ensure the pet's safety, adhere to feeding schedules, and provide exercise and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space, minimizing stress and ensuring their well-being

“Thank you for doing such a great job!”

“Our dogs love Nadja. We have other dog walkers who also walk Charlie but it’s clear he favors Nadja over the others. He’s more relaxed with her and runs up to Nadja whenever he sees her. Nadja is a natural with dogs and she obviously loves them. Our dogs can sense it. She knows how to manage and train them while being gentle, playful and loving. Definitely highly recommend Nadja.”

“Anastasia is the best. She's INCREDIBLY responsive and she gives awesome updates on her walks with Ela. We've booked her many many times, and there's a 100% chance that we'll book her again.”

“Callie is a great dog-walker! She takes good care of our big older dog and communicates well if the dog is extra low-energy or otherwise behaving differently than usual. Lucky to have her!”

“Lennon was my regular sitter for over a year for my dog Finn. Finn is a nervous rescue who is slow to warm and can be challenging for sitters, and I could always trust that Finn was in great hands with Lennon. Lennon was always responsible and considerate when watching Finn in my home, communicative with me, and most importantly a doting sitter for an anxious guy like Finn. I would hire Lennon again to watch my dogs in a heartbeat!”

“I feel lucky to have found Maria to walk my dog! She’s trustworthy, reliable, and my pup took to her immediately. Maria makes me feel at ease when my dog is in her care.”

“Tami has taken great care of my Winston while I was away! She is great!”

“Carly is amazing. She goes above and beyond with our pups. There’s few people we trust with our dogs, and Carly is easily one of the best Rovers we’ve had!”

About: My family and I received our first Chihuahua when I was a teenager. Ever since my first dog, my life has been filled with pure joy. I’ve learned to be more patient and understanding because of these lovely creatures. I love taking care of dogs so much that it would be an absolute pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity to take care of yours. I work from home during the week for my full time job. My schedule is extremely flexible meaning I have plenty of time for 3-4 walks a day . I care for dogs as if they were my own. I get attached quite quickly, it just takes a few mins to win my heart over. I do provide baths for zero charge if dog is smelly. I want to always make sure dog and owner are 100% comfortable with me and my home.

“Wonderful walker for my senior dog, Maggie. Martha was very caring and thoughtful when meeting Maggie and taking her out. Highly recommend her!”

“Samantha has been the best!!”

About: I am used to being around dogs, which includes walking, feeding, administering meds and there is no greater enjoyment than seeing their smiling faces! I will make sure to treat your pet as if it were my own! I am able to commute and work on your pets schedule. I am currently in school and I have free time during the week and the weekends and I would be able to adjust quickly if I am needed for certain times. I am SF based and am able to commute easily, as well as any transportation that may be needed since I also drive. I live in a residences/office space type of building which is pretty safe and you have to get buzzed in twice to enter. I have a cat that I have currently in the house that I raised since she was a kitten and she is very sweet. I am home no later than 7pm on M/W/F and I am home the whole day on the weekend and T/THU.

“Anthony continues to take great care of my pup and communicates well.”

“Tobin was INCREDIBLE with my dog Ruby. He was on-time, sent updates every 30 minutes and was beyond kind. Ruby loved him and we will certainly hire him again. Highly recommend.”

“Kim has a talent for finding and connecting with the personalities of peoples pets. There isn’t anybody I’d trust more with our pets. Peace of mind!”

“Olivia not only fed my cat but gave her pets and love and sent me videos of them hanging out and getting along while I was away <3”

“We’re grateful to have found someone who is patient and willing to work with Arlo, our very outgoing year-old pit mix. Michael is very responsive and easy to partner with.”

“Allen watched my cat for two weeks while I went on vacation. He's excellent at providing timely updates and communicating. I was originally nervous about leaving my cat for so long, but after a few days under Allen's care I was at ease. He took detailed notes on how to take care of my cat, and was a great listener. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Maddy embodies all things dog loving and caring. She’s adaptable to meet a dogs energy, conscientious of it’s needs, and knows how to communicate with and take excellent care of it in any situation. I would want nobody else walking and taking care of my pup!”
