San Francisco Dog Walkers - Our Services

San Francisco dog walks

Solo Walks

We all wish we could hang with our dogs 24/7, but being human comes with responsibilities. Solo dog walks are great for pups who need extra special love and attention or prefer humans over other pups.

Group Walks

Social dogs love the company of their friends. Our small packs allow them to get to know other neighborhood dogs as they sniff around town. It’s exercise, socialization, and stimulation with their fellow furry friends.

Dog Park Visits

Sometimes a high-energy dog needs more than a maintenance walk. Park Playcare gets your pooch outside so they can run around and socialize at the dog park for longer periods than a typical walk.

 
 

Why San Francisco loves Blue Dog Walkers

I love the report cards & pictures I get — they know his personality and quirks so well. And when my walker is sick, they make sure a back-up walker can get into my apartment so I don’t have to.

The Blue Dog Difference

 
 
SF dog walkers

No overcrowded car transports

Some of our packs require pickups to get the gang together, and we take that car ride seriously. Packs are small and car time is limited so they get every minute of fresh air and exercise while with us.

Safety first

We only hire animal lovers who have experienced dog ownership. They are comfortable and familiar with being a pack leader, and also undergo special training before taking on their own routes.

We love bonding with your dog!

Blue Dog walkers love getting to know our fluffy clients, so we keep walkers on the same routes. The bond they develop on their walks makes it more enjoyable on both ends of the leash.

A Message from Brian Long, Owner & Founder

I started Blue Dog 12 years ago, right after moving back to San Francisco from Austin, TX. This time around, I had a new best friend, Blue, a loving, mischievous, and energetic yellow lab. My work hours necessitated the hiring of a dog walker to give Blue a much needed break during the day, but while living in the Marina and going for jogs to Crissy Field, I noticed some disturbing trends among the dog walkers I observed. Regulations state that San Francisco dog walkers walk no more than six dogs at a time. Due to this, I witnessed walkers walk their first pack of dogs while a second pack of dogs waited in a vehicle for their walk. I also noticed that many of the walkers at the dog park would unleash their dogs and spend much of their time there talking with other dog walkers while their dogs just milled around...

I knew the current dog walkers were not going to fit Blue’s needs. Blue wasn’t one for hour long rides in a car; he'd get antsy to get out after about 15-minutes. And when given free rein, Blue could easily find the only patch of mud at the park and munch away at it. My goal in hiring a dog walker was to keep Blue moving and socializing, and these dog walkers weren't going to do the job. That’s when I decided to start my own dog walking business.

Blue Dog was created with the mission of safety and accountability. First, I decided to make all walks on leash to ensure the safety of our dogs. This also allowed us to implement GPS tracking of the walks so the owners could be assured that their pups were getting exercise. Lastly, I implemented a business structure of Managers and Assistant Managers to provide unparalleled customer service to our clients as well as training and help to our walkers.

With this business model, we have grown into one of the largest dog walking companies in San Francisco with some of the happiest clients and walkers. Our goal every day is to ensure that our clients love us and that our staff loves working here.
