Dog Walking Western Addition

About: Hi! I’m Tracy, a reliable and energetic dog lover based in San Francisco. I’ve grown up around dogs and love getting outside for walks, hikes, and playtime. Whether your pup needs a long adventure, a quick potty break, or extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I build my schedule around walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, which allows me to give each pet my full attention and be punctual and dependable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so it never feels like work; it’s one of the highlights of my day. I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s instructions. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I make sure pets have plenty of exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I've been the uncle to many dogs I've lived with over the last 10 years and apply the same principle of approach to children and other people: - Tone, facial expression and body language matters - Handle issues when they happen, not when the moment's passed - Meet them where they are and how they want to be met - Be consistent I can meet your dog at the level they want, from pull-toys and running in the park to quiet, all-day, indoor naps. I am currently in a career transition, meaning I'll have plenty of time to care for your pet! It also means I am fairly flexible during the weekdays and some weekends. Currently: Everday: 9AM to 6PM Tuesday: : 9AM to 4PM Check my calendar for my availability! I live in an apartment complex with a large interior courtyard with large areas of lawn grass and a small, fenced dog park for your pup to play around in. For longer walks or more playtime, I am a few blocks from Kimball and Hamilton park. Cats are free to roam around and in my living room with a view by the bay-window if preferred. My apartment has plants (I am also a plant dad) with some floor plants which can be fenced off if needed.

“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.”

“Angela has walked my high energy Samoyed a few times now and she’s always so sweet and patient! She also takes note of the training I’m working on with my dog, and follows all my little rules for my dog.”

About: I recently joined a professional pet care team and love spending my days with dogs of every breed and energy level. I've also volunteered with a senior dog rescue, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to read each dog's individual needs — from playful pups to older dogs who need a calmer pace. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or a gentle companion, I'll treat them like my own. My schedule is currently flexible, which lets me offer reliable availability throughout the day. I'm generally free from around 8am until sunset, so I can cover morning, midday, and evening walks. I also welcome boarding stays with advance notice, so I can make sure I'm fully prepared to give your pet my complete attention. Safety comes first for me, whether I'm in your home or mine. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks and double check doors, gates, and yards before letting them off leash in a safe space. In my home, I keep the environment calm and pet-proofed, with no accessible chemicals, small objects, or unsafe areas. I follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly as given, and I send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep emergency vet contact info on hand for every stay.

“Claire was great! She met with me and Pierre before hand, he’s a little shy around strangers and he warmed up right away! She was super communicative and helpful! All walks went well!”

“We were so thankful to have Genna's help last minute when we needed it. She was super at communicating with us. Pups were so happy to have her hang out and walk with them. We feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out for help again. Thanks Genna!”

“Valentina walked my dog Marly for a whole week while my foot was sprained. She was exceptionally amazing, helped me out by putting on his harness, and went above and beyond to assist me while I couldn’t walk. She always responded quickly and was on time for all the walks. And she was very very sweet to Marly and took care of him. I would recommend her 10/10. Thank you Valentina”

“Shanna was great and super prompt and friendly, even though it started pouring right as she came to pick up the pup! Looking forward to working with her again, hopefully!”

Ninna G.

“Sofia always goes above and beyond with our dog Millie! She always makes sure she uses the bathroom and eats while we’re at work. We’re so appreciative to have her care!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was young and have owned multiple pets throughout my life. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and administering medication if necessary. I work fully remote, so I’m available in the early morning, around lunchtime, and after 5pm. My hours can be flexible and I’m typically available some weekends (with notice). I live in an apartment within walking distance of multiple parks and am able to get outside/downstairs easily. If caring for a pet in your home, I make sure to follow any & all instructions and treat your place with the same respect as if it were my own.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a long time now. Either taking care of my own dogs or walking and dog sitting neighbors and friends dogs! When I was in college I would volunteer a lot of my time at the humane society and take dogs on walks as well. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so I'd love to spend my time caring for your pets! I'm available Monday through Friday at various times throughout the day and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment by following each pet's routine, keeping doors secure, supervising them closely, and ensuring they always have fresh water, exercise, and affection.

“I have an anxious pup who’s had bad experiences before but she made him feel safe and even got him to run around a little. Thanks for your help 🫶🏻”

“Great communication and loved the pictures!”

“Javier was absolutely fantastic with my blind and leash-reactive Winnie. During walks, he took steps to prevent her from lunging at other dogs and eating food refuse on the ground - both of which are very hard to do. He is very knowledgeable about dogs, and it is obvious that he loves them a great deal. He is also extremely caring, responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. There is no one I would trust more to care for my dog.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of professionalism, real-life experience with animals, and genuinely loving care. I have been surrounded by pets from a young age, which has allowed me to build a natural connection with them and understand their needs at every stage of life. I don’t just care for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy, just like at home. I have experience working with young pets, helping them with basic routines, adapting to new environments, and reinforcing good habits. I also provide patient and attentive care for senior pets, respecting their pace, supporting their specific needs, and ensuring their comfort at all times. Additionally, I offer: • Personalized care based on each pet’s personality and needs • Plenty of quality time, play, and companionship • Responsibility, reliability, and consistent communication with owners My goal is not just to care for pets, but to create a trusting environment where they feel loved, secure, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into our routine. I have plenty of free time, and I truly love animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy rather than see as a task. I also love spending time outdoors, which makes it easy to include walks, playtime, and fresh air as part of their daily care. On a daily basis, I make sure pets are well-fed, exercised, and given attention and affection. I also have enough space to ensure they feel comfortable and safe at all times. Overall, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of outdoor enjoyment. I’m to provide professional, loving care to every pet, ensuring they receive the attention and time they need. I focus on meeting all of their daily need, feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship, so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy in our care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I create a calm and trusting environment where each animal can relax and be well cared for.

About: I have grown up in a household with so many animals, including puppies and older dogs. I love being around animals and taking care of them! I also have experience caring for sea lions (can you tell I love being around animals). I enjoy walking, feeding, and bathing dogs. I have a yard that is fenced in and can care for your dogs overnight. I'm currently home for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am also babysitting. I will be out of town on some random dates, but the majority of the time I will be in town. My family has three dogs and I am used to caring for multiple dogs at the same time! As I stated before I love animals and would love the opportunity to spend more time with dogs!

“Denise was great with Franklin for his afternoon walks!!”

About: Hey, I'm Taylor! Loving animals is not my whole personality, but it's close. I've been taking care of dogs big and small since I was a kid, and done more serious pet sitting and walking for friends & neighbors since 2017. Pictured is Wheezy, the love of my life: a half Boston Terrier half Pitty I rescued around 5 years ago and nursed back to health. Holler with any questions! I am a journalist and work weird hours! Generally available for afternoon and evening walks both week days and weekends on a case by case basis!. I have a fenced garden area where my pup loves to tromp around. I also live very close to Alamo Square Park, where we love to walk and play if you're comfortable with your pup being social. I've trained Wheezy to return when off-leash but never let other pups off leash without owner permission. In the home, I've got a large crate if needed.

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