About Us
At Sniff and Go, we believe that being a truly great dog walking and pet sitting service is all about making owners happy and pets even happier. We insist that there’s no limit to the peace-of-mind that a pet service can provide for its clients, and so, since 2012, we’ve incorporated innovative methods for scheduling visits and providing detailed animal care instructions. You will be able to verify your schedule online and your walker will provide a photo with notes at the conclusion of each walk. Our systems let us perform intense quality control checks on each service performed.
Since opening our doors in April of 2009, our staff has been constantly committed to providing a matchless experience for pet owners in San Francisco. We utilize an in-depth and strenuous hiring process to ensure that each and every member of our staff is of the utmost skill, trustworthiness, and character. We employ our dog walkers, enabling Sniff and Go to provide on-going training. Every member of our staff is also bonded and insured. This means that Sniff and Go is accountable for the entirety of our business, and we take that responsibility very seriously. We know how special your pet is to you, and so we make each and every pet special to us.
Our clients love Sniff and Go because we have a management team available to communicate with you. We are able to respond to client requests and inquiries quickly. We also understand no two dogs (or cats) are alike, and before we even begin working with your pet we ensure that we know all there is to know about their health, diet, exercise and emotional needs.
Here at Sniff and Go, we love your pets (almost!) as much as you do, and we look forward to ensuring that you return to find them safe, healthy, and as happy as can be. Reach out to us today and let Sniff and Go become your best friend’s second-best friend!
Our Amazing Team
Paul T.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to get to know our crew here at Sniff and Go. My name is Paul and I have been able to call Professional Pet Care my passion since 2010.
Being a San Francisco native, I am able to easily navigate our doggo friends throughout all the well known (and not so well known:)) sniffs of The City.
When it comes to our feline friends, there’s nothing better than the purrs and play time that comes from kitties that know they can trust our care.
I look forward to meeting you!
Jia Ling C.
Jia Ling (often called Jia) was born and raised in San Francisco. She attended the University of California, Santa Cruz where she majored in Environmental Studies.
Although she has only had small animals like fishes, hamsters and a rabbit, she has loved animals all her life and loves all of Sniff and Go’s furry friends as if they were her own.
On her free time, she likes to read online articles on various topics, watch animations, create spreadsheets on Excel and draw when she feels inspired to.

Flynn M.
Hi, I’m Flynn.
I’ve been living in San Francisco since 1989, but I was born and raised in Palo Alto, CA.
Growing up in Palo Alto I have had the opportunity to be around lots of different animals – from hamsters and snakes, horses an ducks, to cats and dogs. But my true love is dogs. The love and companionship a dog can provide is life changing and too often under-appreciated.
I enjoy mountain biking, working out, cooking, BBQing and spending time outdoors. On most weekends you can find my wife and I exploring (biking, hiking, swimming) Northern California with our dog Dash.
Joe L.
Hi, my name is Joe and I am the General Manager at Sniff and Go.
I joined the team here in 2019 after 11 years with Windy City Dog Walkers in Chicago. While working in Chicago, I worked as a dog walker and in several management positions. I also have worked as a recruiter, finding dog walking candidates in Seattle, Chicago, New York and throughout the Bay Area.
I work with most clients via phone and email. I hope to have an opportunity to work with you and your pets in the future. Sniff and Go follows the same mission as my previous employer. I firmly believe that dogs and dog walkers benefit from on-leash, private neighborhood walks with a dedicated primary walker assigned. That is why I decided to join the team at Sniff and Go!
When I don’t have a leash or keyboard nearby, I enjoy spending time with my daughter Eloise and wife Maggie. I am attempting to be a better gardener and a competent golfer. I also have two wacky kitties named Miss Kitty and Seamus.
Vivian L.
Hi! My name is Vivian.
I was born and raised in San Francisco. I graduated from University of California, Davis, where I majored in Animal Science and studied animal health and productivity of captive and companion animals. Growing up, I had a lot of interest in animals whether they be big or small, exotic or domesticated, mammalian or not — anything and everything concerning animals intrigued me!
Animals have a knack for improving my mood with their presence alone. I just love having the opportunity to spend time with them! Not only that, but the way that animals behave, think, feel, and function differently from how we, as humans, do greatly fascinates me.
During my free time, I enjoy window shopping, reading books about animal behaviors and watching cooking videos.
Jackie A.
Hi there! I’m Jackie.
I’ve lived up and down California and cultivated a deep love for animals along the way. I had a backcountry childhood hanging out with llamas, prairie dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, spiders, dogs, cats, and more.
Since I don’t currently have animals of my own, I started pet sitting professionally in Los Angeles. I adore meeting new furry friends and their human parents! I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality (they can be such characters!) and adding some pampering and adventure to their day.
Outside of my pet career, I enjoy art, filmmaking, dance, and aerial acrobatics. I look forward to exploring the city and great outdoors with your pets!

Ariel V.
Hello, my name is Ariel but most people call me Rel.
I was born in San Francisco and raised in the Peninsula. I mainly grew up with cats, but the majority of my friends had dogs, which was great because I’ve always liked all types of animals. It wasn’t until 2017 where I would jump into the world of dog boarding.
Dog boarding not only taught me the ins and outs of taking care of dogs, but also gave me knowledge of different breeds, behaviors, and intricacies that come with each individual dog. I grew to really love working with dogs and can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
Outside of that I’m either hanging with friends, streaming video games on Twitch, or planning the next meetup as an event planner for a streamer group I’m with.
