Love and Trust
I am a very active person. If your dog(s) stay with me they will be out walking, running, hiking (maybe even swimming) multiple times per day during their stay (unless, of course, they don't want to).

Love and Trust
I love dogs and they love me. I have never cared for a dog who possessed behavioral problems that I could not overcome. Your biggest challenge might be your dog not wanting to leave me.
Stimulation

Stimulation
Sniffing, marking, searching and socializing aren't just things that dogs like doing, it is essential to their physical and mental well-being to engage in these activities. Walks mean a lot more to dogs than just the chance to relieve their bowels.
What does your dog like to do?
Pet Sitting
Unfortunately, I can only board hypoallergenic animals because of my wife. Your pet will be included as part of the family, which includes my two small dogs. Everyone including the visitors, are included in family activities and everyone gets lots of love.
Dog Walking / Hiking / Running
My dog walks are actually about the dogs, so they are given ample time to do "dog things". Sometimes that includes running, so if you need someone to run the energy out of your dog, that might be me. Of course, cuddling is good too.
More than Sidewalks
More than Sidewalks
It's good to feel the earth under the feet, especially if you are a descendent of wolves. Trails, beaches, grass, sometimes even snow are enjoyed rather than a sidewalk. Having said that, more traditional walks on sidewalks work too!

About the Sitter
Hey, I’m Skyler. I’m based in the Presidio of San Francisco near Baker Beach and spend a lot of time outdoors, so dog care fits naturally into my day.
I work from home and create my own schedule, which makes me consistent and easy to rely on.
I’ve always been comfortable with dogs. Most of them settle in pretty quickly with me, and I keep things calm and steady so they feel at ease.
I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and keeping a consistent routine.
I keep my client list small and don’t do large pack walks. I prefer to give each dog proper attention and a more relaxed experience.
What I offer
- Walks on Presidio trails and nearby areas
- Walk + hang time for dogs that need more coverage
- In-home daycare (quiet, low-stress environment)
- Overnight stays
If your dog is staying with me, I make sure introductions are done carefully and the environment stays calm.
My approach
I keep it simple:
- safe, structured walks
- consistent routine
- paying attention to what each dog needs
No rushing, no overcrowding.
If you’re nearby and want someone reliable who keeps things calm and consistent, feel free to reach out am especially consistent and flexible with clients nearby.
