Hands down the best dog walkers in the city.
Welcome to The Art of Dog: Small Dogs, Big Adventures, where we take dog care to a whole new level. We are a San Francisco-based business that specializes in providing exceptional care for small dogs, with a focus on daily adventures that allow your little companion to experience the best that the city has to offer.
San Francisco is known for its dog-friendly culture, with plenty of parks, trails, beaches, cafes, and boutiques that welcome our four-legged friends. However, with the demands of jobs, long commutes, and errands, it can be challenging for many dog owners to provide their pets with the exercise and socialization they need. That's where we come in.
Our team of professional, certified dog walkers and small dog specialists are long-time small dog owners who understand the unique needs of little canines and the concerns of their owners. We work exclusively with dogs under 25 lbs., matching them with other small friends according to personality and play style, and applying the highest safety standards, including small groups and constant supervision.
Small Dog Walks
Our small dog walks are anything but typical. We offer stimulating off-leash hikes with 5 carefully chosen playmates, closely supervised by a professional, certified dog walker. Our walks are designed to provide your dog with physical exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization, all while exploring the beautiful parks and trails that San Francisco has to offer.
Small Dog Daycare
Our small dog daycare provides a structured and engaging environment for your dog to play and socialize with other small dogs. Our exclusive home environment is lovingly tended by a small dog specialist who provides individualized care and attention to each dog. We offer a variety of activities and toys to keep your dog engaged and happy, including puzzle toys, games of fetch, and group playtime.
Peace of Mind
Whether you choose our small dog walking or daycare services, you can rest easy knowing that your smallest family member is in good hands. We prioritize safety and provide constant supervision to ensure that your dog is having a great time while also being safe.
Our Dog Walkers
Our team of dog walkers are certified in canine behavior, pack management, safety and fight protocols, as well as pet CPR and first aid. They are dedicated to using the most effective and humane training methods in their work and have committed themselves to continuing education so that they can continue to provide their clients with their signature dog adventures.
Why "The Art of Dog?"
Our name was inspired by our founders' previous work in the culinary industry, where they witnessed the artistry and passion that fellow chefs brought to their meals, books, and restaurants. At The Art of Dog, we believe that dog walking and training, when done with artistry and passion, can lead to happier dogs and happier owners, too.
