i met kayla and her partner at a dog park last year. they are good people with great energy and lots of experience. not only does kayla make caring for pups look easy, she often shows me amazing training tips. i've never seen her stare at her phone, like some walkers do. she invariably sees that her clients' dogs are having fun and getting exercise. i love kayla's gentle nature. if only she accepted medium-sized dogs! my rambunctious puppy adores her. read more

Amazing dogwalkers, loving and reliable! If you are looking for small dog group only, should call without second thoughts. I'm a fellow walker and I've seen them out in the field for many years and have only good things to say about the way they handle their packs and how they care for their pups! read more

I highly recommend Walk This Way SF to anyone looking for dog birding, day care and/or walking! Kayla and her husband did a great job of taking care of my dog while I was away, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was safe and having tons of fun! I received pictures and updates while I was away, which I appreciated because I missed my pup! My dog had so much fun with them and the other dogs, running around at the dog parks etc that she slept for two days after I picked her up! Callie is looking forward to her next stay at Walk This away SF. read more

Walk This Way SF - This is my dog, Callie so sleepy and recovering of 6 days of playtime while boarding at Walk This Way! - Dog Walkers Near Me - San Francisco, California

We adopted a stray dog from the SPCA. We wanted a Dogwalker to take him for walks while we're at work during the day and socialize him to other dogs. Simply put, Kayla and King are like family to us. They go above and beyond for our dog, Dilly. They treat Dilly like he is their child. They've printed photos of Dilly for keepsakes, text us photos and videos while at the park, and generally excellent care of him. Our dog loves them. We've left Dilly with them while we're on vacation and I sometimes think he'd rather stay with them! read more

I cannot reccomend Kayla (and her partner King) enough. My 4lb toy poodle had major seperation anxiety until I met Kayla. My dog SQUEALS with joy every time she gets to see Kayla. Kayla is not only my dogs favorite person, but quickly became mine, as well. She is kind, reliable, trustworthy and has a huge heart. Example: I work long hours at times and she is always flexible in my pick-up and drop-off time - when I went to pick my dog up, Kayla had dinner for me. THAT shows you what a special human being she is. I could go on and on about Kayla and would refer her to anyone knowing that their fur babies will be in the best hands. When we are away we receive fun pictures and updates and you can rest assured your pup is having the best time of his/her life. We love Kayla. Period. read more

Kayla and King have been walking my dog for almost four years now. They do a great job - they're consistent, reliable, and clear communicators, and my dog loves them. When Kayla stops by the apartment to pick him up, he runs to the door. When she drops him off after walks, he's so happy and cheerful. Also, I was walking my dog one morning, and he saw King across the street and immediately started tugging to go over and say hi. I like that Kayla & King take the dogs for group walks and group supervised play time at the dog park. My dog is reactive and anxious, and it's really important for him to get social time with other dogs. Kayla and King are very attentive during supervised play time, and that's actually why we started using them - I saw them at the dog park and was very impressed at how they handled their dogs. read more

My two small dogs had a great experience with Kayla recently. I found her through friends at a local park who strongly recommended her. She kept me informed as to how they were doing via photos which kept me at ease. Very knowledgeable, communicative, and caring. I plan on utilizing her for future visits! read more

Kayla is simply the best. I had interviewed several dog walkers before her and none seemed to fit the bill until I met Kayla. My dog, Huey, was instantly bonded with her and I knew I had found the right dog walker for us! I felt very safe trusting her with my little guy- she has a very calming demeanor that both animals and humans take to! She walked my dog every day for about 1.5 hours and her rates are EXTREMELY reasonable. I came home every night to a very happy puppy and I am FOREVER grateful for Kayla and her awesome dog walking services! Call her now! read more

What can I even say? 5 stars doesn't even come close to describing how happy we are with Kayla. In the month and a half that we have had her walking our pup 5 days a week, she has continued to go above and beyond our expectations. We noticed from our initial meeting that Kayla was a complete professional. She spent some solo time with our boy, to develop their relationship early on. She asked us really great questions, showing how considerate she would be as our dog walker. And since then she has continued to make us happier than we could have imagined. Our dog is our child. We wanted the absolute best for him and Kayla is absolutely that person. Her walks are fun for him while also being a great learning session, she's taught him some amazing little tricks and continues to inspire us to be the best doggie owners we can be. Her communication with us on a daily basis is second to none. If an issue ever comes up (like being a bit too barky), she goes ahead and makes steps to fix the issue, come up with options for us to correct his barking on our time and even spends some extra time with us and our dog to make sure we are all comfortable with the training. So in short, yes, hire Kayla as your dog walker, she is absolutely amazing. We couldn't be happier, we trust her completely, we love how much time and dedication she spends with our pup and we love her attitude. Thank you, Kayla. You've been absolutely fantastic! read more

Kayla and Jose were the best walkers for our little dog Rupert ! We have moved away from SF so no longer need their services but would highly recommend them as your go to for your pups walking needs. Super reliable and kind ! read more

Kayla is amazing! Prior to moving to SF I had never had to have a dog walker. The thought of having someone I did not know have access to my home and take care of Ozzy made me very nervous. I met Kayla at Lafayette Park just after I moved from NYC and she was super friendly. She was there watching/walking/playing with the dogs and you could tell that they were all loving it. She keeps her eyes on all of them, is very calm and cool, and the dogs just adore her. And so do we! Kayla has dog sat for Ozzy for a few days multiple times and walks Ozzy on the days that I go to work. My schedule can get a little crazy and I never feel like this is an issue. In addition, we have had a few instances where it was a short notice request and there has always been a good solution. Kayla is professional and trustworthy.One thing I do not worry about is Ozzy when he is with Kayla. Communication with Kayla has also been awesome. We text, email, or write notes - depending on whatever works best at that time. I am very much a over communicator and Kayla has always been wonderful and put any of my worries at bay with her kindness. I am so happy that we met her (and so is Ozzy!) read more

Kayla and King, dynamic duo, are not a dog walking service. They are family! I am moving out of my neighborhood after a few years and honestly, one of the things that have prevented me from moving is losing my favorite dog walking family. Reasons why I love Kayla & King: Total trust - They love each dog as if it was their own, and you see that the dogs really bond with them. The dog group dynamic is great because they only keep dogs that fit the personality of the crew. All dogs have wonderful temperaments, no aggression to worry about. Excellent communication & professionalism - Kayla does most of the scheduling and she is organized and flexible. She is always on top of everything! She even reminds me when it's raining to put out the rain coat for my dog. And she alerts me of any concerns I should be aware of (like bad poops!) Flexibility - They work with your schedule. Some days I have to work late and they will keep my dog until I pick her up in the evening if they are able. Extras - Beautiful photos & mini videos taken of your baby every week by King! Weekend getaways to Monterey for your pup when you need weekend sitting. They really go the extra mile to love and care for your pet. When my last dog was ailing and sick, they took him full time while I was at work, even carrying him around in his duffel cause he could no longer walk. When I got a new puppy, Kayla came 2x a day to play with her because she didn't have all her shots yet. Most importantly, King & Kayla are just wonderfully thoughtful, kind & loving people. And who wouldn't want their pet around that? We will miss King & Kayla so much but look forward to our vacations even more now, because then our dog will have mini vacations with King & Kayla! If you have a small dog in the Pacific Heights/ Russian Hill area, signup asap as their slots fill up fast!! read more

Kayla has been walking my dog Beau for several years, and she is amazing! She is so gentle and kind with him. Plus, she is flexible if Beau or I need extra help. I can't say enough good things about this special lady. I highly recommend!! read more

Hands down the best decision we have ever made. Kayla and King have been so amazing in every possible way. They truly treat our dog like he's their own. He's always excited to go on his walks with them and I can trust them to take care of our little pup while we are out of town. On top of all the love and attention he gets, we also get spoiled with updates and pictures of our little guy. We are so grateful for everything they have done for us that we can't say it enough. Highly highly recommend if you want to ensure your dog is safe and happy! read more

Excellent dog sitting/dog walking couple. Kayla and King are sure to treat your pup right and ensure their happiness at all turns. They have always been extremely accommodating in times of need and are very caring towards my dog. Highly recommended and couldn't be happier to have them! read more

My life savior, and Brandy's. :) We love Kayla, she is the best dog walker you could ever find.

Kayla is the best! My little terrier can be a little needy :-), and she gave him all the love and attention he needed. He stayed with her for several days while we went on a long trip, and she always kept us up to date with emails, texts, and pics. Our little guy even made some appearances on her Facebook page! When we returned I think he even missed her. We would definitely recommend walk this way and will be calling Kayla again in the future for sure. Thanks Kayla! read more

Its always hard, finding someone who starts out as a stranger, to leave your dog with. But my intuition told me Kayla was the right woman and she turned out to be perfect. I met her 'dog walking' another dog at the park, not knowing that was her job. She was great with that dog, Sydney, and then she told me she was a dog walker so I took her card. A couple months later I was going away for 7 days so I called her, met her for coffee and interviewed her. I left my 'Annie' with her and was thrilled with the results. She kept in touch with me on e-mails from Facebook, pictures, and then phone calls. I'm thrilled with how Annie was loved and pampered. Not only did I have a holiday but so did Annie. read more

Kayla is great. My dog max absolutely loves her. He walks better with other dogs with Kayla than he ever has & is always happy and sleepy when I get home. Wouldn't trust him with anyone else! read more

Kayla has taken care of my cats for the past three years and has been amazing! Not only is she very reliable and communicative, but she goes above and beyond in so many ways -- she's gotten little toys for my cats, she spends extra time with them, etc. She's absolutely great, no need to look further :) read more
